And if you like those, check out the orbit of Cruithne:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmbuSR-fOZM

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3753_Cruithne

Cruithne orbits the sun at about the same distance as the Earth, and so with about the same period as the Earth. The orbit varies, so sometimes it's closer to the sun than we are, and sometimes further from it. So, seen from the Earth, what it's doing is moving around us - sometimes ahead of us in orbit, sometimes sunward, sometimes behind us, sometimes starward. But its orbit isn't pefectly elliptical, and it has more inclination, so it traces out an interesting path.

That video is a recycling of an older video which had a very informative voice-over, rather than some cheesy music. That video doesn't seem to be online any more, sadly.

Cruithne's orbit was only figured out in 1997, and i remember that it was briefly very cool (for small values of cool). Stephen Baxter, who was a top science fiction writer at the time, featured it in his novel 'Time'.
I've got a comment comparing IPFS to Dat up in the Dat thread that's up now: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20162881

tl;dr: I feel that IPFS is the smaller more tightly scoped project that fits better into the existing web ecosystem. Dat has its own browser and versioning and other stuff bundled in, and IPFS works with normal browsers (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20162972) in a way aligned the web's graceful degradation principle.
I remember one bodybuilder/trainer said it's easy to lose weight. He dieted poorly, became fat, then was able to quickly reagin his good shape in a month, so he "proved" it's easy. This looks like he just proved that it's easy if you were already in good shape.

You can achieve some of it on Windows (10 and maybe 8) by snapping the windows to the sides of the desktop (with the mouse of Win key + arrows). And when you have two windows, both will resized at the same time
Generating Personalized Web Reports from Excel
Dat-rs exists but seems to be on pause.
It's strange to make this hypothesis. We know so little about life. What if life can exists anywhere and can adapt to its environment. Even the complex one
"...high concentrations of carbon monoxide, another deadly gas" could have been phrased rather differently given that this 'deadly gas' is essential for life on earth at around >150ppm or so and without which almost all plants would die in short order never mind that respiration likewise for plants and animals involves its excretion along with water. There is no such thing as a single chemical substance that is <not> toxic for life forms at some concentration. Yes, there are optimum levels for all of them - in some cases down to almost zero.
The standard setup nowadays is something like this: http://bit.ly/2MFAAt9.

You can use different technologies based on your use case, but you probably need all the pieces outlined above. As someone else has mentioned, if you're looking for trade-offs between different technologies, I'd recommend "Designing Data-Intensive Applications" by Kleppmann.
As for web development in the 90s I'd be remiss to not mention live code editing in production ...

Just kidding, of course. It's a terribly bad practice. Don't do it.

However, there was something about the simplicity that came with it (in case everything went smoothly, that is) as well as the ability to make minor changes without having to go through a deployment pipeline.
Challenges of independent assessment of potential harms of HPV vaccines (2018)
My bet is both likely to fail. NIH syndrome is strong with both cases.

For efficient file transfer protocol between peers, Bittorrent protocol have multiple independent implementations that is working right now. They should build on top of that. Instead, both DAT and IPFS try to implement their own protocol with dubious additional features. For IPFS, it even relies on traditional DNS. What are they thinking?
Isn't it amazing that all of these elements have so many distinct industrial uses? How did people figure all of this stuff out? Real life is sometimes stranger than fiction.

Also, related: I read an article in WaPo about the only rare earths mine in the United States:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/2019/06/07/8...

> This is Mountain Pass, the only mine in the United States that harvests rare-earth elements, the raw ingredients used to produce high-tech products such as smartphones, wind turbines, electric vehicles and fighter jets.
I do, and I expected much more, unfortunately. The daemon still has problems with rampant memory usage, chews through two CPUs during normal operation, the pinning API is abysmal, DHT resolution is so problematic that you routinely need to connect two nodes directly together so they can discover each other's files, etc.

I don't want to say they're bad at what they're doing, as I don't know how hard it is, but at least a better pinning implementation seems easy to do and relatively useful. Currently, to pin something, the command will block for hours/days or even for ever if the content is large and rare. If my torrent client worked that way, it just wouldn't get used.
tl,dr; QUIC is solving shortcomings of IPv6, amongst others the badness of remaining Ethernet and IPv4, by replacing TCP.

This is one of the most beautiful and deep articles about our networking/IP world I've ever read. It's so helpful to hear background stories from the early years of networking (like IPX, I still remember it but was too young to really make us of it)!

Relying solely on client-side logs gets less and less reliable each year.
Thanks a ton, both article and answer :)
What scientists appear to be telling us is that this is "life as we know it", without delving much into the details of what life could constitute of. And that conventional definition of life, which requires very specific aminoacids to co-exist, is pretty much dependent on certain mixes of humidity and temperature and certain gases are toxic to it in general.
So he tested a bunch of low end scooters and concluded that all of them suck. otherwise the sky is still blue. Some people may not realize that all of the rental companies only stock cheap low end scooters. In general those scooters are slow, have shitty brakes, suspensions, tires, etc. The scooter that I have has large deck, pneumatic tires, excellent suspension, dual hydraulic disc brakes and can go up to 65 km/h.

Ask HN: C/C++ software engineers, like to gather together to start some project?
Would be interested in starting some project with fellow C/C++ software engineers. The aim is to brainstorm ideas, start a project, create an MVP, launch it, and then go from there. If nothing else then at least we will have made friends!

For those who are interested I have created a matrix chat room to meetup at

#syspro:privacytools.io
Three of the four links here, have no discussion. One has hardly any. Posting interesting topics which have not received much prior discussion is encouraged here.
This is a very interesting point and also an opportunity! There aren't that many underseas cable to and from Africa either am I right? So at least in southern parts I'd say that congestion over the cables will become an issue. Something that wouldn't be the case between say Europe and the US.
Some beautiful structures have survived through constant maintenance of successive civilizations and faith groups. Others have been abandoned to collapse or razed to the ground to punish the people that built it, to clear space to build something new or simply for useful building material. Even the Parthenon, sufficiently revered by successive civilizations to find itself a Greek temple, Roman temple, church and mosque, was redeployed as a gunpowder store with predictable results.

Carving a temple out of solid basalt is a more reliable way of protecting from the elements and all but the most determined humans (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellora_Caves)
I don't see the problem. They aren't limited in a meaningful sense. It's just that the global race to the bottom makes the vast majority of deposits unprofitable.
I'm currently reading "Spycatcher" by Peter Wright, I would recommend if you're interested in topics like this.
Well, not directly, but for seamless bridging to work properly, your protocol must support being able to mock users easily. Many new protocols simply don't allow that. This means you need to fall back on a protocol session per user (like with IRC, telegram, etc), Bot Api hacks (Discord, Slack), or, worst of all, putting the name of the chat participants into the message.

Unlike that, matrix has the concept of Application Services, which are priviledged "users" that can pretend to be any number of users that are bridged over from other protocols.
My boss is using Dropbox for business-related and private stuff and is looking for a comfortable way to encrypt the synced data on his machine. The best thing I came up with was a VeraCrypt image for sensitive data, which he could mount when needed. That could be problematic when he wants to access it on mobile, though.

Does anyone know of a more accessible way that could solve this?
Also, life adapts its environment to suit it, as the Gaia theory posits.

Soviets attempted to repeat this in the 80s when passive eavesdropping devices were embedded into concrete slabs and columns used in a construction of new US embassy and supplied by local contractors [1].

From what I remember the case lingered well into Perestroika period when complete documentation on this project was passed to the Americans as a gesture of "goodwill and friendship", presumably in exchange for chicken leg imports (aka "Bush legs") and other Western luxuries.

Yeah, I would think that is still okay for life. Even if CO2 does displace O2, I would imagine some adapted respiratory organs could very well deal with that if the concentration were higher.

The article looks like some manipulation. These people protest against the extradition act between Honk Kong and China.
After this Honk Kong will lose some part of autonomy.

It is not pro-democracy manifestation. West journalists are a democracy fanatics :/
Can some Chinese write what is really going on in Hong Kong?

Additionally, I have not seen this kind of worried articles about France protest and president Macron :/

Last but not least, I am sad that no one in my country and other European countries pretested when extradictions acts were signed with USA. Looks Hong Kongers are more proud. Good luck.
The other two opinions are in line with my impression: it is the best starter scooter in its class based on overall value. It costs substantially more to have one that will have superior performance without trade-offs.

I did start seeing Facebook ads after my purchase, for a Ninebot prototype model on indiegogo for ~$600 which supposedly has a 40-mile range, all other things being equal. That one might be a better value if it does have superior power storage, since range is the most limiting factor of them in general.

But I am quite pleased with the m365. It has a clean minimal appearance for the street, especially compared to the rentals if they are in your city. I keep it clean enough to carry into buildings with me rather than lock it out on the street, and no one has minded it yet. It feels a bit more like an appliance than a vehicle -- to echo other responses, I would worry about it getting very wet.

I don't bring it on mass transit (folded) during rush hour, but otherwise I do, and find them to be complimentary. It makes 1-2 mile distances as casually easy as a walk to the next block, generally speaking.
People essentially spent entire careers trying stuff, until comparatively recently when materials science theoretical modelling became good enough.

The classic Ignition! is well worth reading to see the process from the inside. The basic figure of merit for rocket fuels, specific impulse, could be calculated on paper. All sorts of other critical properties like detonation resistance had to be found experimentally. As well as the trick to storing red fuming nitric acid without eating through stainless steel.

I'm not a lawyer, but I'd argue you've published your content by making it available in your index. An archive or library doesn't publish content, but offers access to content having been published.

If you made a reasonable effort to control access to your works that might be a different story.

> Does this mean, that the use of anabolic steroids to build muscle at one point in time can lead to better performance years after usage?

Yes, and it's very well known too. You don't need to take steroids for very long to increase your muscle mass, then you go off them and stay off them for a few months and maintain it. You can then repeat multiple times if you need/want to. I've been told that it's fairly safe when done this way, with appropriate monitoring, etc.

Yes, I do, and it still didn't change my mind,.
The tubular structure of most large rockets is well suited to withstand many gs of load along its axis. It's also quite fragile wrt side forces and bending. Making it stronger makes it also heavier.

A device that can carry several tons to GEO and to start in a slanted position along a mountain would be a very different beast than a usual rocket.

To say nothing about building several miles of an excessively straight maglev bridge along a mountain which is likely not that straight, and also highly visible.
The biggest news from Elon Musk’s Tesla shareholder meeting
imo giving way to kids impulses like fighting might be commercially the most viable thing - educationally it is not.
It is always much easier to be destructive than constructive.
However, we should try to teach our kids the latter. Achieving win-win does not usually come from impulse but from empathy.

Although it is hard, I try to avoid fighting games and media for my kids as much as I can and try to teach them competing in more creative ways...

Space is a pretty hostile environment over those timescales.

Selecting a power source is hard as solar cells almost certainly will not last more than a hundred or two years. Nuclear materials with long half-lives don’t provide much power.

Electronics would just have to be big to avoid radiation damage from being a concern.

KickC: Optimizing C Compiler for 6502
I grew up in a ~25k town and public transport was still just fine. There are certainly places where it wouldn't be, and of course big differences between how small you can go and get decent public transport depending on country etc. (e.g. my brother lives 20-30 minutes by car or probably twice that by bus outside that ~25k town, and if I lived there I might feel differently), but I just can't see myself willingly moving anywhere where it'd be a problem.
I get downvoted sometimes for expressing my opinion, i've come to expect that here (though your prediction and my expectations were so far wrong in this case), but i dont think saying that Tr*mp lies shamelessly is new to anyone, even its suporters.

"Shortfall of dysprosium are expected before 2015." - so how's that going? I don't see news reports of DYSPROSIUM CRISIS. I did find one on a new mine opening in Australia.

Articles like this belong in a "manufactured crisis" category. Very little in it is false per se, but the overall impression it creates is misleading, and is likely to be driven by either nationalism trying to upsell conflict with China, or miners trying to sell investments outside of China that are currently uncompetitive.

If it's a only few thousand enterprise users, I'd actually say log to a bog standard relational database from server side like MySQL or Postgres. Think through table schemas for everything you're going to log and make sure primary keys and nomenclature for everything talk to each other. Virtually any analytics platform or software talks to standard databases. Record as much as you can because analytics use cases typically get generated following first data collection and analysis and are iterative - so you also want to build flexibility.

...a lot of us are practically addicted to Jupyter Notebook Extensions [1] features and these aren't compatibly with Jupyter Lab and Jupyter Lab didn't add equivalent builtin features.

Once you get used to little things like (a) auto-TOC/outline of current doc in a sidebar (with highlight for current running cells and other goodies), (b) auto scroll to end of output, (c) browser notifications for end of long running calculations (so you can be alerted of stuff being done while browsing in other tabs) etc. etc. you really can't live without them!

It's this little things that matter 100x more than freely rearrangeable tab-grids and detachable outputs and terminals... these are cool but it's the other small details that make a bigger difference in productivity!

Ew, I can't for the life of me understand this "everything is a social construct" mindset.

The average man is biologically different than the average female. Testosterone alone can explain why men are generally more violent and sexually aggressive than women. And there are many many many other factors in effect. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3693622/

Why do people get angry about facts, there is no value judgment in saying "The average women is inclined to do X while the average man is more inclined to do Y", it doesn't mean "every woman HAS to do X and every man HAS to do Y". Why would every animals of different sex present different behaviours but somehow humans are all 100% equal and every difference is due to "society" ? Is biology a social construct now ?
