I'm a mechanical engineer. My point is that stress analysis is the oldest, simplest, and most well understood application of finite element analysis. I can't even begin to imagine the multiphysics that goes into simulating a nuclear weapon, but if we are willing to bet our entire nuclear deterrent on it, it seems reasonable to skip some additional rounds of physical tests that are mostly a formality at this point.

Also, defective materials are caught much earlier in the manufacturing process through quality assurance methods, before they become airplanes. And then you apply a factor of safety on your calculations for added assurance.
>Personally, though, my main criticism of LaTeX is that its logic is static and based in plaintext.

Literally the best feature. Universal, easy to manage with text editors, text processing tools, version control, etc. The future should be going back to this, imo.

>The future is in interactive documents (e.g., in the direction of [Wolfram's][2]), not statically compiling plaintext to image-like documents.

Jesus I hope not. Text is and forever will be the superlative format for information - images and videos can be brilliant for aiding the understanding of new ideas, but they are awful as a reference. You can search text, you can't search for images or within a video. And those are not problems to be solved - things should just simply be in text.
Ah, I now understand. Looking for opposing views to test yours against is very commendable and wise. And quite uncommon.

I can't really help you as I agree too strongly - see my other comment elsewhere re. stress testing.

I can't see any possible reason. The only people reliably who might answer that things are ok as-is are boeing themselves.
For a decade or so I've had this semi-joke of curating "The League of Reasonable Nations." I add and remove countries over time. It's a subjective categorization of countries that I find to be "reasonable".

It's interesting that these countries repeatedly show up in lists together, like GPI. I think it has to do with my own biases + liberalism + development + peacefulness.
> And it's NOT out of despision, no, it's simply because it's impossible to do it safely in China. The political climate here is so toxic and dangerous, it is unethical to even think to put people on street.

We, Hong Kong people as a whole, understand that mainlanders face much more difficulty in speaking up, and we are sympathetic. We definitely do not despise mainlanders for not speaking up in a way that we can see. The current protest does not mention democratic movement in China because we want to have a focus: on the extraditions law itself.

> But, one thing HongKongers must understand is, your future is linked with mainlanders, for better or worse. We may not see each other eye to eye on other many topics, but this, this is the problem we both facing.

Hong Kong people understand and agree that we are facing the same opposition--the oppressive regime in China--and our time is dated: Hong Kong people are counting the number of years until 2047, which is 50 years after the handover of Hong Kong to China in 1997, after which the "two systems" may disappear. And we are also questioning if the "two systems", the promised anatomy of Hong Kong from China, may disappear before 2047. One reason you see so many Hong Kong people in the current protest, is the fear that if they don't speak up now, they cannot speak up later.

> Also, many mainlanders is actually quite supportive about some protests. Simply search Twitter with the right keyword you can find many https://twitter.com/search?f=tweets&vertical=default&q=%E6%9....

We thank the support from mainlanders given their difficulty, and also for the support from the whole world. Such attention on Hong Kong is very much needed and appreciated.

I read from your comment in another thread that many mainlanders are trying to earn money to trade for freedom: better social status in China, or to move to another country. In fact, I think there are lots of mainlanders who went overseas, and they are enjoying the freedom and protection in another country. If we, Hong Kong people and overseas mainlanders, unite together, there is a lot more that we can do.

Your speaking up here in Hacker News is a good start, and we together can try to do more.

There's a lot of metabolic and information-processing housekeeping that needs to be done regardless of what we are thinking about. Even the sleeping brain is quite active.

The difficulty of hard mental problems is not necessarily related to the physical work needed, even when we recognize that information processing is a physical process - for example, figuring out when to leave for a lunch appointment is not necessarily less physically demanding than solving a differential equation.
Yes, I find it difficult to imagine developers that are enthusiastic about "metal", I mean who wants another platform specific API for graphics cards. If Apple really think we need something other than "vulkan" then they should push to make "metal" a competing open standard- But I doubt they think that, and It's quite easy to imagine ulterior motives, M$ had exactly the same motives.
Every Lie We Tell Incurs a Debt to the Truth
When you read up on actors' routines and how they vary pre/post shoot, you understand it's all utterly unsustainable - they do it because it's their job, it's part of their working day. If your boss told you to use docker on project X, you'd learn docker and do it; their boss tells them to lose 20 pounds and look trim, or gain 20 pounds and look fatty, and they do it for the few months required to complete the project, with all sorts of expensive medical help. You don't see how they look inbetween projects, nor do you see the ones that stop being leads (or never make it) because they cannot keep up the effort.
Of course you can ray trace on AMD, or Intel, or an abacus. It’s not some magic it’s just maths you can run on any general purpose computing device.
I think the real question is “what is the physical security model of the OS/2?”

I would imagine a determined attacker could infiltrate the system in-person. The question then becomes - how easy is it to compromise the system given physical access? And, assuming total compromise, how much damage and loss of life can be caused? (Do the subways have physical fail-safes?)
I've used it for various biomedical equipment before like PCR machines and a Mass Spec. Here is a list I found while trying to find out the approximate cost of an AKTA FPLC(https://inventory.data.gov/dataset/2d2da689-5342-4024-b9e1-f...). The pricing may swing wildly from what you might pay based on various factors, but at least you have a starting price.

As an example, how about a ballpark figure for everything that AT&T has for internet connectivity. Search things like "AT&T OC3 GSAadvantage" with and without PDF and I got this(https://www.gsaadvantage.gov/ref_text/GS35F0249J/0TQT0R.3OCL...)

If the government buys it and it isn't secret or a one off item or service, there is pricing for it on the web. For some, the price won't be useful. If you looked up contracts for something like tech support, it might not be possible to find out what exactly they were asking for. But if it is something you can put a part number on or a service that is somewhat commodity, you should have a good chance of getting some sort of pricing.

It thought the opposite was in progress now, with external actors doing deep scans on electrical infrastructure in the US. Regardless of direction, if I were to start a conspiracy theory, I'd point out that testing in a country that already has poor infrastructure would be great cover.

Seriously though, I'd think it would be trivial to figure out if this was failure or malice.
> The United States drone-killed Anwar al Awlaki, an American citizen, because of his speech.

I'm not really against testing something in a simulation, but in this case would the simulation be using the same software that designed the thing in the first place? Because in that case you're not so much testing it with software as just removing any testing altogether.

I think if you look at media and propaganda within China, my original point is true - America (and often Europe) is presented as an enemy, an example of the failure of democracy, a chaotic place, a dangerous place to live/visit, a country that intrinsically hates China.... there’s no way in which Chinese people are told ‘American democracy is good, our system is also good, let’s just learn to get along’

edit: in addition, things that we’ve seen in recent years like ‘purges’ of Western influences in Chinese universities - those directly contradict your point that China doesn’t consider the West an ideological enemy.

At the time of the handover the world was in a unipolar moment. People though that we were converging on an “end of history” where every state was inevably moving towards democracy. The relative importance of the Chinese economy in world was a tiny fraction of where it is today. It was a mainstream opinion in Western circles that Hong Kong would “take over” Beijing rather than vice versa.

People want to feel determines whether others can influence their emotions
The issue is that (leaving aside the pacifism), your morals are the same as your enemies'. It's only your factual beliefs that differ.

Can you see how a pro-life person might apply your principle, and thus justify violence against people performing abortions/"mass-murdering unborn children"? He'd use the same sentiment you are. "I'll tolerate them, but if they devalue others' life I will not speak and only use force."

Can you see how a white nationalist who actually did think Jews were using social manipulation to slowly erase his entire lineage would justify violence against Jews? He'd use the same sentiment you are. They call it self-defense. They call Holocaust victims, "deaths in the war between the Jews and Germans" because they believe that the Jews were the aggressors.

A difference in factual beliefs, not moral principles.

What if you read the Quran and studied the history, and came to the positive conclusion that Islam is a violent expansionist ideology which dehumanizes non-Muslims and encourages followers to abuse and sometimes murder them, in a way other religions do not? You would then become anti-Islam in a forceful way, not even willing to talk to Muslims but only willing to use force against them.

Your moral beliefs are't really different from pro-life terrorists, white nationalist anti-semites, or anti-Islam murderers. What's different about you is simply your factual beliefs.

This is how you can support historical crimes - the same way they do. By getting some facts wrong.

I think Popper's tolerance framework is robust against these kinds of situations, becuase it doesn't make you a historical criminal even if you get some facts wrong.

I know I won't participate in historical crimes because even if I do think one group are really really bad, I don't think that justifies committing crimes against them. Two wrongs don't make a right. Human rights are universal, and even wrong/bad people have them. This includes speech rights.

Many open source licenses have this clause (and few care about them).

The intent for that type of clause is to ensure that nobody can come back to the original author with your modified file and claim that they violated some rule (eg. copied stuff from other-licensed sources, patent law, libel, ...) that you violated in your edits.

Assuming that, your compliance step was valid: whoever comes up with that file and tries to annoy the original author in some way gets to check if the reason for that isn't in your change (probably not if it's only that notice).

When these clauses were first put in licenses, revision control wasn't really a thing, so a notice like that was rather useful. These days it's easy to figure out who touched any given version of any given file under revision control - but strictly speaking your approach is the safer one.
The State of Terminal Emulators in Linux
> "TRR makes it more difficult to find bit flips," Kwong, the University of Michigan researcher, wrote in an email. "Not all DDR4 has TRR enabled, and implementations vary substantially by vendor, so it is difficult to pinpoint exactly how much safer TRR is against Rowhammer. TRR's susceptibility to RAMBleed is an open research question."

Samsung added TRR (Target Row Refresh) to their memory, see slide 15 of this 2014 presentation, http://aod.teletogether.com/sec/20140519/SAMSUNG_Investors_F....

From https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2016/03/once-...

> Third I/O employees tested 12 varieties of DDR4 chips, and it didn't take long for eight of them to succumb to bitflipping. The first DIMM to fall was Crucial Ballistix Sport model manufactured by Micron. Ultimately, the researchers also carried out successful Rowhammer attacks against other Crucial- and Micron-branded DDR4 modules, as well as DIMMs from Geil. Interestingly, DIMMs from G.Skill were able to withstand the tests.

From the linked 2016 paper, http://www.thirdio.com/rowhammer.pdf

> Of the twelve memory modules we tested, eight showed bit flips during our 4-hour experiment. And of these eight failures, every memory module that failed at default settings was on DDR4 silicon manufactured by Micron. The Geil branded modules contained SK Hynix and the G.Skill modules contained Samsung silicon.
> Valid defenses include: the statement is true

Also a defence under Australian law.

> The statement is the speaker's opinion.

Also a defence under Australian law, as long as the speech falls under the concept of "fair comment and criticism", which is the same rule the US follows (albeit interpreted quite differently).

> it must proven that it was spoken with malice

NOT a defence under US law, unless the plaintiff is a public figure, which is a category defined quite narrowly in the US.

> So defamation in the US is close to unenforceable.

There are a lot of libel suits in the US, many of them are won by the plaintiffs.

The difference in law is less than you seem to think, and what differences exist are mainly on the extent that opinions ("I think Joe is an asshole") should be protected; both countries agree that factual claims ("Joe murdered his wife") are not. And offhand, it's hardly clear that Australia had drawn the line in the right place.

These were different teams of students taking a class. Variance in student effort/quality is generally high.

There were two Rust teams. One had 3x the code and passed less tests than the other. This is our only reference for how much noise is owed to team rather than language; no other language was used by more than one team.

Python did best (least amount of code, yet also the most features) less because of Python, but more because the best programmer was using it.

Would the other students have been able to take advantage of the duck typing and metaprogramming in the same way, or ended up following different designs? I'd have my doubts about the second Rust team.

Although that Python allowed these is a feature, but I think we're really just looking at noise.
