Does it protect against other radiation than UV? Does it also seal a gaseous atmosphere at a usable pressure?

This would be useful in the construction of an arcology. New York City is little more than 300 square miles in area. A single huge building could easily encompass living space for an even larger population than NYC's, while also offering domed parks. The aerogel would take care of the thermal and UV issues. There would have to be a strong transparent membrane, perhaps sustained by pressure, to withstand winds and protect the aerogel. Also, such a unitary building, with a dome structure around it, would be easier to protect against radiation with magnetic fields, as conductors in the dome itself could be used. Fusion power seems like a must have for this kind of project. Also, this would entail additional expense, which tunnel habitation wouldn't incur.

In the novel/TV series "The Expanse", Martians live underground in tunnels, because above ground it takes more material and energy to build air-tight buildings which also protect from radiation.

So perhaps such Martian arcologies would be playgrounds for the rich? Perhaps they would be the equivalent of today's Dubai?

And they still have adverse effects from the lower gravity.

One of the most fascinating aspects of that series is that there are three Human "subpopulations", two of which would have trouble to exist on Earth, physiologically.

We still don't know if the effects are necessarily adverse at Martian levels. There might be a benefit, so long as the radiation can be mitigated. In any case, the gravity could be mitigated with a "slanted racetrack" style centrifuge. An entire arcology could be constructed this way. It could well be that the residents of such arcologies would be stronger and healthier. That would be one hell of a form of class distinction. It would be similar to the combat differences between medieval Knights and peasant conscripts. Perhaps arcologies would become the castles of a warring Mars gone feudal?
That doesn't seem to matter. In DC we have speed cameras everywhere and it doesn't matter whether your face is visible in a photo, the ticket will be issued to the plate and must be paid by the owner regardless of who was driving the car.
Use Google there are too many first hand accounts on Reddit and Twitter to source here.

Talk to people who own Teslas and they will bitch about their experience. Tesla annoys their customers constantly with things like: inaccurate battery charge indicators, no support for CarPlay or Android Auto, updates breaking functionality in their cars, promises for self driving which never materialize, and much more. I am sure I will hear more at lunch.
You can buy 1kg of titanium for $10 on the internet. It's not that exotic.

And bicycles made out of wrought iron would work perfectly fine. First bicycles were made out of wood and durability wasn't their main issue.
I stand corrected on the point of NLRA which I am not familiar enough with to know whether it applies. Great point.

I agree with your aside as well. Public Relations are always in play.
Check Eurosport. It truely is beautiful what they show us.
Correct. And one reason to properly format for output, rather than sanitise input is because you do not know how the string might be used. I mean you can sanitise for HTML output, but it won't cover shell command output (i.e.: when you pass the string as a parameter to a tool via --vehicle-name=). Thus input is to be stored as is, and NEVER trusted even if some input sources "sanitise" it.
Sure - Just ignore as "inattentive" the input of the extremely aware and experienced 100-billion neuron processor with ultra-wideband sensors and untold years of experience dealing with actual human drivers in all kinds of conditions. What could possibly go wrong? I hope to never own a car with any of this kind of crap on it. That limits me to cars no newer than 2005-2010 at the latest, but given the grouper-like styling and built-in spyware of all new cars, that's no great loss...

Not true.

In most states (FL included) you will be arrested for failing to identify if there is probable cause for requesting such identification, i.e. a traffic violation or suspicion of criminal activity.

Even a static site needs to be generated somehow, and React is quite a nice way to generate HTML. It can even do that on the server, and disabling JS in dev tools shows that's what they do :).
If you have the skill, we already know who you are.

You have millions in the project and a dozen PhDs working with you, and you've already authored public papers demonstrating the weaknesses of things previously believed to be strong.

If you are not at least one of those things, it's malpractice for you to even consider letting your employer pay for your crypto "invention"s. That's like a nurse building her own OR and insisting the hospital let her cut people open in it. No. Don't. Stop.
Spoiler alert: In "The Expanse" all of the above happens...

Another reason why ground-level fighting on Earth is stupid for the Martians is that Earth has like 20 Billion inhabitants at that point, and Mars has "only" 5 Billion, and of course a lot less marines.

Though I have to say that most Sci-Fi universes, the Expanse being no exception, are overly optimistic about population growth, and they must have shipped at least hundreds of Millions of colonists to Mars to achieve the stated population. Earth alone will probably not reach above 11 Billion Humans.
... but why does that matter?
Yes, exactly. Foreign students are actively recruited by universities because they're profitable: they have to pay the full fare.
We should always, always plaude and praise companies that are at least this serious about bounty programs.

Two years ago, despite I wouldn't call myself the deepest technical person on the planet, I found a terrible bug that exposed 1.1M records for a bay area startup. (edit: the bug was really easy to find, it was a form of URL injection. I couldn't even believe that bug was there in the first place).

I reached out to them multiple times, only to realize they were going to ignore me in perpetuity. I didn't even want money, I would have been happy just to see the bug fixed. (I never helped fix a bug that another company had). Nada.

A less scrupulous person would have sold that information and exposed data for 1.1M people.

I am not naming the company here, even though they would totally deserve it.

Anyone working in the computer and software (or any high-tech) industry should be worried about global warming. Even if society collapses, you will have certain needs like food, clothing, etc. However, high technology requires a highly organized civilization to exist and develop.

Global warming is a risk to organized human life and it's possible we won't be doing anything related to computers in 20-30 years. It's not crazy to think people will collectively lose the ability to make microchips and computers. Progress and technological development cannot be taken for granted and requires the right conditions to function.

Global warming is an existential risk to our industry!

I am the OP and I’m still struggling to understand how working in a tent at potentially freezing outside temps (see link above for minimums and average minimums) can be anywhere close to comfortable. You have to keep in mind that work doesn’t stop on those days (or nights). And I’m pretty sure it’s not just a 9-5 shift.

Obviously the people found the need for radiators which can be very dangerous in that environment.

It's bringing politics to work if you aren't blowing the whistle on illegal behaviour.

These people, regardless of what they thought they were doing, weren't blowing the whistle on anything because they failed to highlight any illegal behaviour.

Remember that Google is the company that initiated a massive review of pay to try and uncover this supposedly widespread sexist underpaying of women. It discovered it was underpaying men and had to adjust men's pay upwards.

Likewise their big walkout was triggered by the fact that Andy Rubin was fired, but also paid money, after a woman he was in a consensual relationship with discovered he was cheating and made an (unverifiable) accusation against him. But this isn't Google tolerating sexual harassment in any legal sense of the term.

So what makes you think the law has anything to do with their protests?
It seems to still have the dropdown to select which mapping service, but it doesn't change when you use it, and Apple maps isn't on the list. But the map it shows me does have the Apple logo in the corner.
I think of Apple Maps the same way I think of North Korea's missile program: I know it exists and it has continent-level accuracy.
The other thing you might be subconsciously noticing as "odd" is the varying depth or darkness of the shadows. The lunar surface is only illuminated by direct sunlight in an otherwise black sky, so the shadows cast by Aldrin and the lander appear pitch-black. But Aldrin himself is being lit by both direct sunlight and indirect light bouncing off the surface, so the shadowed side of his suit still appears diffusely illuminated.

It makes sense when you stop to think about it (and you can fairly easily recreate the phenomenon in a raytracer) but it looks unnatural because we're used to direct sunlight always being accompanied by indirect skylight.
Assuming it only loosely correlates, then the premium difference between a driver opting into tracking will be small compared to those opting out.
Right, and the training is on this specifically - remembering that these are mostly ex-military helicopter pilots with already thousands of hours of training.

> There's no real comparison between a game engine and a modeling/animation package.

Sure there is.

- UE4 needs to move a viewport around 3D space, so does Maya. UE4 uses game controls. Maya you need to hold down something or tweak it to do that.

- UE4 involves creating and manipulating objects in space for BSP. Maya involves creating and manipulating objects in space for modelling.

Maya has a UI that's 20+ years old with minimal changes. UE4 does not.

> They are built to do very different things.

No, they're built to do different but related things. I'm not sure why you would think that modelling and environment creation are very different. For the purposes of gamedev or archvis, they're both tools to support making the environment. And one is a barely maintained cash cow.

Yeah, in our city a few years ago, a lawsuit was brought that even with camera pictures/video, it can't be proven the vehicle owner was driving the car and so all the red light camera tickets in process were thrown out and the cameras were deactivated. So definitely depends on jurisdiction.
I don't own a private email account, but the authors I could recommend are anything by the aforementioned pragmatists (particularly Peirce), work by Van Fraasen, and work by Macintyre. Kuhn and Laudan are also a big ones for science-focused stuff. I also brought up Floridi because he'd at least be sympathetic to the plight of computational theorists while also providing disagreement from the philosophical mainstream.

The point of all of the above is to realize that modern philosophy has made three different "turns":

1) The linguistic turn

2) The pragmatic turn

3) The discursive turn

All three point to the idea that almost all acts of knowledge are social and communicative acts, and that all claims being made between us are from perspectives we assume and inherit from others. They amount to saying that no inquiry is done in a vacuum, and all inquiry is open to criticism of some form or another. In which case we shouldn't expect to ever converge on a singular Truth, but rather be constantly negotiating a network of truths between ourselves as long as we are finite and limited beings.

These positions are reactions to middle-of-the-century philosophy that supposed that all knowledge can be treated through a uniform standard (like science, or logic, or faith), and that any knowledge which is true, is true without qualification or the need to ascribe context, including the context of our language or the context of our goals. Both of these positions can be considered "positivist", which is the philosophy that made physics productive in the 20th century but ended up being unhelpful for other fields (like economics or biology), as well as ignoring certain complexities that all forms of inquiry (including physics) share.

The primary struggle that positivists gain when they are exposed to these views is that they think it implies relativism. This isn't quite right, since it's possible to agree as well as disagree with people; but it does imply certain theses inconvenient to the goals of positivism, like the impossibility of a final theory between all modes of knowledge. It might be plausible to have a final theory with respect to a perspective or set of postulates -- like maybe an atomic theory of viruses -- but that would always be irreconcilable with other perspectives which have their own merits, leaving it to the individual to decide the value of each. The good news is that there is always room for thought.

This paper is also excellent for introducing the mechanics of semiotics in discourse, in that most discursive of disciplines, the Law. https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/0a7f/1fd305239da9232f182fbc... Law makes a good example since people have a lot of conceptions of what having rules of law means. We are obliged to the law by convention and negotiation, rather than by some eternal Truth. Likewise, to the extent that any science is discursive, there will be a sense in which it has to be legalistic, although there are more effective ways which we stop ourselves from spiraling into relativism here (primarily by instrumentation).

In many places red light cameras ticket the owner of the vehicle as a parking violation,(presumably for having you car in the intersection when the light was red?) whereas typically the driver of the vehicle is ticketed by the officer for a moving violation like speeding or running a light. My memory on this is pretty old though, laws may have changed and it may be location dependent.
It is bike-shedding in a way, but I think it’s also a direction PHP is taking (becoming more strict, more rigid, less “hacky”).

Switching to Postgres follows the same philosophy I think. Migrating existing services is usually a stupid thing to do, but anecdotally I know a number of PHP shops adding pg to their infra and building the new services there.

I’d compare it to the switch to unicode everywhere or normalizing dates on UTC.
but will environmentalist let us?
See my other comment. But yes, it is true.

You cannot be "retaliated against" if you aren't engaging in revelations of illegal behaviour. These people were not doing the latter, when you look at the details. They were merely protesting against things they didn't like, but which aren't illegal, and in one case, didn't exist at all (Google underpaid men, not women).

If there's no illegal behaviour, there's no whistleblowing, and if there's no whistleblowing, then reducing "job opportunity" (which is of course not a right) is just ordinary corporate performance management in response to an employee behaving badly.
They would call it "protecting their IP", rather than "breaking", but yes.

Though I suppose it's not technically "breaking" but downgrading.
Speedometers measure speed by counting wheel rotations and multiplying them by the circumference. There's at least a few percent inherent error as circumference is going to vary with what tyre is fitted and how worn it is.

F1 cars, and I believe now high end sports cars use a differebt system that's basically how an optical mouse works. They image the road underneath the car and measure it moving past. This gives turning in addition. If you watch an F1 night race you can see a glow on the ground under the nose - that's the illuminator for the sensor.
Yeah, then you're out of luck for a few minutes, if you somehow manage to let that happen.
"An ORM is a useful tool for smoothing over the generation of queries and their conversion into object graphs, and make sense for many use cases."

I'm finding it's more powerful to have some language convenient query generator + query -> basic data structure + basic data structure -> final data structure broken into three separate parts, instead of bound together monolithically as most ORMs do it. Those steps are all useful on their own merits, but it's really quite frequent that for some specific task the prepackaged monolithic ORM is not what I need; either I need to tweak the query, or I want to get a basic data structure from some other source (JSON or something) and want to be able to reuse the logic, or I need a tweak to how I'm processing it down to an object (e.g., processing it into a class that is standalone vs. one that is integrated with the rest of the world, the "banana vs. a jungle containing a gorilla holding a banana" sort of thing Joe Armstrong talked about), or I want to create data structures from a complex query involving joins, aggregates, etc. that I can't necessarily express as "a class that represents a table" or something.

It's not the three tools that are the problem; it's the inflexibility of jamming them all together in one shot, along with the semantic contradictions encountered while trying to make one class be the query generator, the basic data structure representing the query, and the "final" data structure, all at once, even before we consider the affordance of the ORM that really, really encourages you to make DB structures to OO classes instead of queries.

This isn't correct at all. It's true the US isn't very welcoming any more, but this isn't through "inept and ignorant messaging", it's not inept at all: the US voters clearly don't want foreigners here, and they proved it by the way they've voted, and now they have an administration that clearly reflects the wishes of the electorate. Stop trying to sugar-coat the reality of how American voters really feel.
