According to some sources, no warhead, but there's no mention of propellant.

Some others are mentioning Matra as the manufacturer.
my situation: i would like to move on from google but can't.

1. google maps is my number 1 maps app. i post reviews, i search for restaurants, i book hotels. basically gmaps is my gateway to the real world.

2. gmail is my number 1 email app. i've got over 10 accounts in there, both corporate and personal. custom labels, filters and haven't gotten spam in a decade.

2. google search still produces the best results. this is because of them knowing everything about me. DDG on the other hand produces horrible results for me; they don't do tracking so it doesn't know anything about me. and i need them to have context.

3. Firefox on macos is... not good to say the least. especially compared to chrome on macos.

any ideas on this? are there any proper blows-your-mind kind of alternatives or am I stuck?

"By contrast, reusable metal straws and canvas bags require something like 10-100x the energy and materials to manufacture, and need regular cleaning to avoid spreading disease. So unless you use them many times, they end up being worse for the environment. I lose them much faster than that, and have better things to do with my attention than remember to bring bags with me everywhere I go, so I just use those old-school plastic bags whenever I can."

This is not a valid argument. A bad habit should not be a justification for a devious behavior.
I would even argue it is easier to bring your reusable container of choice when going shopping, and if that habit is really formed, then you wont be able to exit your home or car without it, because something will seem to be missing.
Take for example the backpack or "granny cart". They are much more comfortable to use when compared to lugging around many plastics bags around your hands, and the granny cart is much better for your back.

Ask HN: Book about Human Evolution?
I'm looking for recommandations for books about human evolution.

I'd like to get one for my SO. She's a lawyer and does not have a lot of scientific background. She's getting interested in those subjects lately.

I'd like to find something that's mostly accessible and a little entertaining without being counter-factual. The non-scientific adult equivalent of a kid science show. Maybe lots of pictures and so.

Most of all, I'd like something that's based on scientific research, without too much personnal opinions.

Sensationnal and controversial books like Harari's Sapiens are the opposite of what I'm looking for.

Any recommandations?

Edit : something in french, or translated in french would be great
This wouldn't be robust over the long term, which is the main advantage of going down into a gravity well rather than colonizing asteroids and open space.

Mars terraforming is hard and will require serious tech. At a minimum you would need to crash asteroids/comets rich in water and nitrogen into it. So I wouldn't really worry about the 7% atmospheric pressure limit, it's not going to be a constraint that matters.

I'm fine with the free lunch thing. But here the cheating is done on the level of how people present the capabilities of the tool.
If you ask the algorithm how "SHE is to LOVELY as HE is to X", the reported answer (Bolukbasi 2016) was "BRILLIANT", which in this case suggests a heavy gender-bias. But what the algorithm actually gives for X is: "LOVELY". The authors justed picked the 10th example in the list without clearly stating it.
"The quality of roads is relevant, but not really the answer. Bicycles can be ridden on dirt roads or sidewalks"

Bicycles can only be ridden safely on rough surfaces with good pneumatic tyres. As for the sidewalks, 1) their quality was also very variable, 2) they didn't offer a continuous path anywhere unless you only wanted to cycle around a single block (often not even then), 3) they were full of pedestrians trying to avoid the rough, filthy road surface, 4) hopping on and off kerbs is not a good idea without pneumatic tyres and a lightweight frame (early bicycles were ponderous and heavy).

The description of the technical progression needed to make the bicycle practical is fine, but the author seems to need to dismiss all previous thought on bicycles simply to justify their argument. Firstly, that's not a motivation I admire, secondly the dismissal of those obstacles and the other cited disincentives is just wrong: those obstacles were definitely there, something technical and social progress had to address before a bicycle was a reasonable and useful idea.
The Oberon language is an exception, it goes the other direction.

Google have metrics on how much better it makes search - at least when I was there it makes quality a lot better, but not, say, double the quality. I think in the early days of the company they thought personalisation would be a much bigger win than it was - it was big enough that it didn't make sense to turn it off or anything like that, and you can see it in action when people say their results are customised to the programming language they are most recently using. But most of the time it's not doing all that much - and the biggest component of it was basic stuff like location and language.

The Soviet Union was always fundamentally fascist, and so is the current Russian government. Or at least, after the second 1917 revolution, when the gangsters took over. But now more openly kleptocratic.
A lot of the "forests" we have at least here are planted monocultures which are periodically completely cut down. Also known as "tree farms". All trees are the same age. Also the forest is full of ditches that makes it hard to pass for animals. The ecosystem and the species living there are quite different to real more natural forests. Most people have never even been to a multi century old forest anymore. Also we get invasions of pests like Diprion Pini etc.

I found a variant that uses magnets:

https://www.bu.edu/gk12/tommy/Electric_motors.pdf

The version I built was far simpler, and used electromagnets instead of the magnets, but you can see the general idea.

I didn't design it, I don't know where the Den Mothers got the design from. But I found it fascinating, as you could see and feel how it worked.

I built several of them. One day, I got a little bolder and replaced the battery with an A/C cord. The motor buzzed loudly and burst into flames. I learned about alternating current that day :-)

The full paper proposes using this for literal greenhouses - growing plants only. What matters there is partial pressures of CO2 (actually higher than on Earth), N2, and H2O. So the pressure differential would be relatively low, well within the structural limits of the aerogel as long as there's a sealant between sections.

(They also ran tests on aerogel pebbles, but don't talk about sealing questions for that form.)

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41550-019-0813-0

"The higher carbon dioxide partial pressure on Mars versus Earth is favourable for plant growth, but the low total atmospheric pressure means that at temperatures of 273 K or higher, the undersides of silica aerogel greenhouse shields would need to remain slightly pressurized relative to the atmosphere to avoid loss of water vapour either vertically or laterally. This would place light demands on their structural properties, which could plausibly be met by interspersing the silica aerogel with thin layers of solid transparent material or via organic polymer reinforcement""

Correct, as the NASA link clearly delineates:

>The researchers point out that the gain in greenness seen around the world and dominated by India and China does not offset the damage from loss of natural vegetation in tropical regions, such as Brazil and Indonesia. The consequences for sustainability and biodiversity in those ecosystems remain.

Thinking that China and India have "got this" would be a catastrophic assumption (obligatory xkcd[0]).

For search, perhaps you just need to spend a little while with DuckDuckGo to learn what you need to type in to get the results you are looking for. If you stay logged into Google, then when you can't find what you're looking for on DDG, add !g to your query and it'll take you to Google. The point is you can switch gradually.

The article is looking strictly at plant survival ("could be made habitable to photosynthetic life"). For that, the "usable pressure" is much lower.
The problem with the article is that it's balanced between fake propaganda and truth, which makes it unbalanced relatively to pure truth.
> Getting specific is harder on Google because it just omits or misinterprets my search query keywords quite often.

I have this problem too. Google often thinks that I made a typo and presents me results for things I didn't searched for or care about and I have no way to force it to search for things I really want.

This seems to assume that the current bicycle design is obvious and inevitable, but that is not true. The bicycle went through a lot of different designs before we got the "safety bicycle" in the 1880s. Here is a small video showing some previous designs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WI6lgUlEUFU

Isn't the premise that "real wage growth is closely tied to labor productivity changes [of that particular job, in all cases]" just completely wrong in itself?

If increased productivity (of everyone in a profession due to some new technology) means less people are needed in a given profession, demand for employees decreases and thus wages go DOWN along with product prices.

Also the "natural equilibrium state" for wages is for them to be all equal regardless of profession because otherwise people would have trained for and went to a more profitable career until wages are equalized, and this only doesn't happen because people are not equal and changing careers is costly.

So the "Baumol cost disease" seems like a pretty reasonable observation instead of being somehow paradoxical.

Apollo 11 50th Anniversary
I just might put it up on my blog. Need to collect references for the things I've been saying first.

I first need to finish and ask someone to proofread my long overdue post on my views about advertising industry.
At the grand scheme of things level, most of the time, the world is very resilient. For example if a cosmic ray hits RAM and flips a bit, well we have correction codes, and it will be as if nothing ever happened, the error will be corrected and the change will lose all its oomph by being transformed into useless heat.

Even before error correcting codes we would have just got a crash and rebooted. This universe with a sightly angrier developer would still most likely be the same once he vented it out with a few swear words.

People once were looking for signs in the skies, and acting upon it to inject chaos into their lives, but random act of chances take time to make an impact whereas Order is effective and to the point.

Once the world has favored order over chaos, it builds itself to be resilient to small changes, it submit itself to the law of large numbers, and once it has mastered it, it submit itself to the rules it has chosen for himself.

That may be the great filter of Order to explain the Fermi Paradox. Order is so effective, that it can convince itself there is no Fermi Paradox using basic statistics, and march in order towards its own doom, because the doom is in the order itself. Hopefully once we storm area 51 in September, we will know for sure that aliens exist and that there is no reason to worry about Order being a great filter.

Take the problem from the other perspective, imagine you are given the opportunity to re-roll something in the world, but just one single thing locally to create a brand new universe, would you still choose to break a branch in a random forest ? Would you try to find a camel just before the last straw breaks its back, just to see the camel owner pick-up the fallen straw once again. At what point in time should you rollback for the world to be receptive to your divine intervention ?

I suggest the following approach;

Start with some school textbooks for grades 8-12 i.e. Secondary Education. This is more for a refresher course in the absolute basics.

The above can be supplemented with the following books to develop intuition;

1) Who is Fourier - https://www.amazon.com/Who-Fourier-Mathematical-Adventure-2n...

2) Functions and Graphs - https://www.amazon.com/Functions-Graphs-Dover-Books-Mathemat...

After this is when you enter undergraduate studies and you have to fight the dragon of "Modern Maths" which is more abstract and conceptual. In addition to standard textbooks; i suggest the following;

1) Concepts of Modern Mathematics - https://www.amazon.com/Concepts-Modern-Mathematics-Dover-Boo...

2) Mathematics: Its Content, Methods and Meaning - https://www.amazon.com/Concepts-Modern-Mathematics-Dover-Boo...

3) Mathematical Techniques (i am linking this so you can see the reviews but get the latest edition) - https://www.amazon.com/Mathematical-Techniques-Dominic-Jorda...

Finally, if you would like to learn about all the new-fangled mathematics your best bets are;

a) The Princeton Companion to Mathematics - https://www.amazon.com/Princeton-Companion-Mathematics-Timot...

b) The Princeton Companion to Applied Mathematics - https://www.amazon.com/Princeton-Companion-Applied-Mathemati...

One important piece of advice that i have is to become comfortable with the Symbols, Notation and Formalism used in Mathematics. Most students are intimidated by the Formalism (which is nothing more than a precise form of shorthand to express abstract concepts) and give up on studying Mathematics altogether. This is a shame since it is merely the Form and not the Function of Mathematics.

Hey everyone, in this article I explain how Typescene works using a simple, practical example. I also go through some of the differences with other frameworks.
The first term may be more accurate than you might think. Elizabeth I of England ruled as Elizabeth Rex where Rex is Latin for "King" and Regina is the female term.

Technically in England Queen is an ambiguous term, queen regnant is the actual ruler, queen dowager is the widow of a king etc. But, again several European an other female rulers used the male term.

Hatshepsut crowned herself Pharaoh and maintained an elaborate legal fiction of maleness, because ya know she was in charge and could do what she wanted.

Hungary had two female kings Mary of the House of Anjou, and Maria Theresa.

Etc etc.
I don't think land area is the metric to use here. Quaries need to be located close to the coast, in order to minimise shipping costs. There's a lot of land in the interior of continents which would not be suitable for this kind of operation.

So probably a better metric is total length of coastline. The UK has 12,429km of coastline, out of a world total of 356,000. So that would imply 279 Glensanda-sized quaries in the UK.

Good news for the UK (and bad news for everyone else): weighting by amount of harm done to the climate wouldn't work. In addition to being located near coastlines, the quarries need to be located in tropical and subtropical regions. So in fact there wouldn't be any quarries in the UK.

Looking at this source: http://chartsbin.com/view/ofv, it appears that there's about 275,000km of suitable coastline. The top 3 countries would be: Indonesia (1,592 Glessandas), Phillipines (1,056 Glessandas), and Australia (749 Glessandas). I'm not sure whether or not that's feasible. But at a smaller scale, as a partial solution to sequestration, it seems within reach.
I am really surprised at how popular they are. I listen to a lot of podcasts, but when I want to read, I read. Listening to someone else read a book....doesn't feel right to me.
1. This is, of course, a well known problem with an O/B system. The usual resolution is to a) use another data structure or b) hide the double linked list in @system code and use a safe interface to it.

2. It's a general solution (not limited to memory).
But if the EU would try to do that, the US would likely retaliate with tariffs.
So, in some sense we are back to "eliminating outliers"... using an ad-hoc definition of "outlier".

Audiobooks just don't work for me, I would continuously zone out.
