The higher melting point is not the true thermodynamic melting point, which must be reversible. It's more akin to supersaturation, where a solvent temporarily holds more solid in the absence of a "seed" to induce crystallization. Really interesting though, and the historical connection even more so.

Wow that's funny I did the exact same thing! I was working at a web/mobile gaming company building a sports draft platform and I was tasked with building a bot player to fill in empty player slots. I used a GA and it worked really well even though I didn't know anything about sports.
I think it's important to distinguish that many of the things being monitored are not being posted publicly. From the article:

> In 2016, the company expanded that analysis to students' school email accounts, monitoring all messages sent over district networks.

> Gaggle monitors the digital content created by nearly 5 million U.S. K-12 students. That includes all their files, messages, and class assignments created and stored

> "opened a Google Doc, wrote down concerns about a boy in class acting strange, then typed every bad word they could think of"

I can see both sides of monitoring school equipment, or at least maintaining the ability to access it, but I don't believe most people here would consent to active content monitoring of every email, document, message, and drafts of documents even on workplace devices
Every single day. Logged in > 30 channels and talking to >20 people every day. It's a prereq for work anyway (more than half the company is actually on IRC). I also vastly prefer it to other solutions (yes, I tried slack, matrix, mattermost, discord, skype, google chat/hangouts/meet/whatevergooglecallsitthesedays - they all in some way)
I think, there's a web client for every major IRC network. Just enter a nickname and start chatting.
Given a choice of death by fire and death by cold, death by cold is easier to mitigate against, and is the default problem in space. To survive Venus, you have to first survive the freezing trip to Venus. So you need heating and air conditioning. A lot. Of both.

On Mars, you only need the heating systems that got you to Mars.

Similar problem for radiation: going to Mars leads to less radiation. Going to Venus increases radiation. So in Venus orbit, you need more shielding than you need at low Earth orbit. On Mars, you need less.

There's another commentor suggesting floating in steel balloons. Um, weather is going to be rough. Really, really rough. The mass of building materials necessary to survive the storms strikes me as likely deal-breaker. Never mind the complete lack of light.

I don't know if everything is harder on Venus, but most of the first-order issues are substantially harder.
Wow, this post made me feel very lonely !

I am in relatively similar situation : I have moved from Europe to SF.

I probably work too much and my main hobbies are movies, video games, books, etc .. all pretty lonely occupations.

Most of the time I don't really mind being alone, not at all, but sometimes it is a painful feeling.

I also have a pretty established routine :
-working a lot
-working out
-watching some movies/playing
-sleep

rinse and repeat.

I know I should probably volunteer to some associations doing good.

I do have a girlfriend .. but we are in a long distance relationship, so we can't always be there for each other.

I am surprised by comments that seem to give Google the benefit of the doubt or do not show concern just because of how other services operate.

It is up to Google to demonstrate they are capable of keeping an 'innovative' service running long-term, not customers wearing the risk (well it should be anyway).

Really the only long term products Google has provided are those dependent on their Ad behemoth. Imagine all the games full of Ads...

I'm not so sure about city planning being a large factor.

European cities are very different but we face similar problems. We have parks, you don't need to travel far (I grew up in a large city, now live in a small one right next to it, and have never had a car and never needed one) to get places, most people live in multi-family-homes and overly long commutes are the exception, not the rule.

I do agree with your last sentence though, and maybe it's the individualism that expresses itself more strongly in US cities because they are much younger, and more purpose built.
For those interested, Schwab has one of the best modern banking experiences. For those of us that like to travel a lot (ATM withdrawals, foreign transactions, etc.) Schwab is awesome. There are no minimums, fees, foreign transaction fees, and all ATM surcharges are reimbursed(yes even $10 ones abroad).

The app works great and allows you to connect to other banks directly and move your money between the two as if they were the same bank.

Downside is no physical locations, so cash has to move through another bank account then get transferred into Schwab.

Checking and saving both yield about .5% which is way better than big banks typically, although lower than inflation/Tbills.

Can’t recommend it enough for people that don’t enjoy a $10 a month charge for the bank to profit off of your deposits.
The REAL issue here will not be the fake videos themselves. They will cause many messes, but the real issue is an acceleration of what we see today: a loss of trust in information and in particular the established media. More societal rift, easy to dismiss any negative news about your favourite politician/rapper/.. as fake video; more difficult court cases even where there's video evidence, ..... Terrifying.
Their kind is your (potential?) customer actually. It's just that you don't care to wrap up your infrastructure in a nice packaged and heavily marketed solution and charge them for it.
Termius is simply amazing! I use it regularly from my iPhone, and it’s the only terminal app that feels natural using: you can double tab to have tab completion, swipe to go up and down, etc...

Since I can manage cluster jobs as I was at my desktop, Termius really increased my productivity.

Keep up the good work, guys!

Was one of those instances of "spontaneous" supposed to be "stimulated"?
> Humans have faced lots of problems over the millenia, but the reality is that our lives continue to improve as a whole

That's untrue. Human civilizations tend to go through cycles. They rise, eventually stagnate, and then decline over the span of hundreds of years. The Akkadians, the Mycenaeans, the Romans, and the Maya all collapsed and the lives of people living in those empires got worse, often for a very long time.

It's reasonable to think that a similar type of decline is happening in the west today.
> Instead, we should be talking about how deleterious it is to the character development of our children.

I think we should skip logic and go for the emotional "what happens when a pedophile get's this information" argument. There's certainly enough truth to it, a pedophile having that sort of surveillance data could do all sorts of psychological manipulation, even getting access to the schools database would do it.
I'm not sure there is consensus that Mars is much more likely to have had life. As the article states, Venus had liquid water for 3 billion years versus 400 million for Mars.

Yes, you are. You are his potential customer on this specific thing. It's just that he doesn't care about providing you with what you want to buy.
> is the very efficient use of registers

It's of course more than that: just reading the start, one can see that the author placed the variables immediately after the bytes of the screen, and the screen starts on the position 0. So at the start he clears both the screen and his variables up to the variables "level" and "lives" with:

xor ax,ax
mov cx,level/2 ; Clear screen and variables (except level/lives)
xor di,di

rep
stosw

(Note here that the whole rep stosw loop is 2 bytes only. That's the feature of the 8086 instruction set. The memory was expensive then.)

At that moment he will load both the level and the lives variables with just:

mov ax,[di]

and then increase the level by 2 and store it back

inc ax
inc ax
stosw

The last three instructions are encoded with just 3 bytes:

40 inc ax
40 inc ax
AB stosw

Etc. it's more than just allocating registers, it's having the overview of what one wants and how it can organize the whole to minimize the number of instructions for all tasks together. And, of course, using the instruction set that was designed to save the memory for code.

Specifically, in C, as an example, the compiler still expects that it's the programmer who plans the memory layout, it can't reorganize where you place what for you.

> Resisting mental violence doesn't work. It seeps trough defenses.

What? It absolutely does, especially compared to the alternative of not doing it. Your kid must simply internalize the fact that they're trying to get a reaction out of him/her, and that's the only motive behind what they're saying. Oh, and that people who act like that are very unlikely to ever be friendly to you; and in particular, trying to cater to them or to appeal to their humaneness is the worst approach one could take. These things are not obvious to the average kid; they absolutely need to be taught.

That's a pretty tenuous limb to go out on.

If that were the case, why is Venus hotter than Mercury, despite being farther away from the sun and having an albedo of 0.75? (Mercury's is about 0.1).

In fact, with its high albedo Venus reflects so much sunlight that it absorbs even less solar energy than Earth does, but despite that, it's hotter than mercury. I am pretty sure that's all due to its atmosphere, and I think every planetary scientist would agree.
As a electronics/firmware engineer, is there a dummies resource than covers this concept of a "cloud"?
I used it back when it only cost 10€ per year. It was polished, but didn't really do anything special. I considered buying it but as a light user, I couldn't justify the price.

Now its 50€/Year, and are so many other great SSH Apps on iOS that I just don't see why I would ever pay that much for it.

I guess that's the curse of subscriptions. You can only sell it to your most dedicated users, which means that you have to raise the price even more.

If I'm any indication, there are a lot of free Termius users, who would be willing to pay a one time fee just to get the most basic features like sFTP and Tabs.
I dislike the name, but I can't think of a better one for the mental condition.

I find the easiest way out of the "we're in a simulation" conundrum is to ask why you would behave differently, ethically, inside a simulation to outside: doesn't the fact you display consistency on your behaviour define you as you?

> How on earth would it do that? WiFi alone is a significant part of the latency here!

Today there is input and display lag. You send the input to the box for processing. In streaming you send the input to a box who then relays that to a server. If you can cut out the server you can reduce a bunch of latency. It won't have lower latency than a locally played game but you can make it close enough.

> Not to mention the huge jitter it brings. Screw in your smart cheap-ass 802.11b light bulb and watch your game feel off.

Your knowledge of WiFi seems to be about 8 years out of date. Not only is it really difficult to find 802.11b anything anymore (even stuff buried in a basement; seriously 802.11b devices started coming out in 1999) but this is pretty much a non issue in almost any router made in the past decade. The majority of routers (especially the better ones) use dual or tri bands to better handle interference and backwards compatibility with older standards.

If you have issues with your WiFi I'd suggest upgrading your router. Seriously, they're pretty great nowadays especially if you get a triband almost anything :)

I did not see any sources on the page. Also even if it was true, the important bit is whether the BTC price is set below market rates when signing the contract, or if it is just below market rate in hindsight.

E.g. I could imagine signing a contract that promises BTC valued at 10k USD for a certain period, which would allow my employee to buy them now, relatively cheap, and me to get more BTC than I would expect to be able to acquire otherwise.

Hey, thanks for that! The HN comments here today have been full of surprises, not least the intense personalization of it all! I believe that our impact in the world is much more in the people we inspire than in those we rankle -- so in that regard, it's deeply gratifying to know that I have been of service; thank you!
Thanks for kind words! It keeps us going!
Tell me a mainstream (for Google scale) service that shut down. Offline Trips, Reader, Inbox, etc do not count. A couple of million users (at max) are just not enough. If bigger things shut down they either have a replacement or they are Google+. And no one complained when that was shut down.

Also Stadia has a subscription basis. Cloud gaming is just too important to let Microsoft win. Just like cloud in general.

Regarding the primary business argument. This is exactly what they are hedging against. Google knows ad revenue can‘t grow forever. Regulation might be coming. Cloud and stuff like this will have to take more and more of the load.
I barely use it, so maybe people can correct me on this one if I've got it wrong, but: It seems to me like it's now used almost exclusively for communication around underworld/illegal stuff. I would definitely be quite scared to hang around IRC not being anonymous (not talking about freenode here, of course, which is where open source developer folk hang out).

Sure, I get that, totally. When you are in the Markdown view. But when you need to view the rendered rich text form, isn't it much more efficient and far more user-friendly to show just that, and allow it to be edited?

In other words, Inkdrop's two views could be Markdown and WYSIWYG (both editable), rather than Markdown and Side-by-side.

Beautiful.
A few years ago there was an OSS tool called Tagspaces that did exactly this. It was great, and briefly replaced Evernote for me.

At the time I used it quite successfully to manage research material across a range of projects; it ultimately hit a wall because it was an electron app that consumed huge amounts of RAM.

However, they are still around and appear to have moved away from electron so you may have more luck now.
But the Chromecast Ultra they're selling with it doesn't support USB or Bluetooth (or Ethernet), which makes it not really an option for that. The controller I believe works through Bluetooth and USB if you're using a device that has those.
When I was younger my programs would start to fall apart after a few thousand lines. It took a LOT of practice, both writing programs from scratch and working on large programs that were correctly designed.

One thing to remember is the act of coding is a bit different from architecting a program. If you are unsure of how it is going to work it is probably not going to work and as your program grows in size will become unmanageable as you continually have to rewrite it to take things into account that you didn't plan on. It helps to become familiar with design patterns and to pseudocode the overall structure. Expressing your desired architecture into code is a big enough challenge without trying to do it at the same time.
Note that this idea -- that the basis of the universe is math itself -- is attributed to the presocratic philosopher Pythagoras.

In the ensuing Platonic worldview, it was understood that the world began with total Oneness. In modern terms, that's treating the entropy of the universe as equal to 1; there is only one state for the entire universe to be in. Then, this increases to twoness, between the something and the nothing. As the something and the nothing interact, that interaction is the threeness; and from the three, the multitude. They then believed that this resulted in the formations of geometry which led to the elements, which they expected to consist of the simplest 3 dimensional shapes. They were pretty much spot on, except they didn't know that the spherical harmonics of atoms are even simpler than the platonic forms.

Not a bad cosmology for 2500 years ago. I think there is still a lot of profound thought to process and consider.

What's the alternative, are you going to build your own cluster for such kind of things? As I said, for something your PC can manage, I don't see a need for such stuff. But for something more complex, it has interesting potential. The downside of course is that you can't just run it locally, unless you can match that computational power.
Pascal’s Wager seems trivially countered by pointing out that there’s an equal amount of evidence of the opposite hypothesis.

Or, in a more refined way: There is an effectively infinite number of theories that have equal evidence (namely: none), and consequently you should give each one only (1/infinity) attention, i.e. epsilon, i.e. basically zero.
In my experience kids are very tech-savy. I don't think the 4th grader who can't discover homebrew without a system setting for it is going to be able to do much with it once they've got the terminal open.
Was also common in javascript a few years ago when the runtimes were more simplistic than they are now.

Iterating from the tail also made the terminal condition a comparison to 0, which IIRC was faster in at least one browser.

The gains were mostly masturbatory of course, the overhead of the iteration loop is not going to matter much when you have 5 method calls in the body.
