Which would you rather be in? A US prison with basic rights, healthcare, etc, or a Chinese labor/reeducation camp, or Soviet era Gulag? The systems are incomparable, whether or not the numbers are the comparable, which is what I was talking about. Yes, I've read the Gulag Archipeligo and watched several Solzhenitsyn interviews, and had relatives suffer through that era. Not close to the same thing. At all.

Would the OpenSSH upstream accept patches for an unprivileged sshd/sftp-subsystem to make this easier to use their battle tested code?

Cleansing Fast in 5 Easy Steps
Cleansing or detoxifying the body is important since it cleanses it from toxins that may be harmful to the body and may cause diseases as a result. So what are the 5 steps in cleansing fast? The first thing that you should do is to remove the toxins in your body. These toxins may refer to what you usually eat in a day, in a week or in month. Cleansing inside the body happens every day but you cannot expect the body to excrete it all out for you. That is why you need to fast on the products that may add harm to your body - food products such as coffee, sugar, alcohol and tobacco that contain free radicals that may lead to cancer.

Second, decide on what detox therapy you prefer. There is a lot of cleansing fast methods but in choosing them, it must fit according to your lifestyle. Remember that this must help you detoxify, not add more stress. So here are two choices: Juice fasting or Water fasting. When you choose the option of drinking juice, this involves only fresh fruit juices and vegetables such as carrot, spinach, celery, cabbage, apple, pineapple and cranberry. The duration or the time frame for choosing this option is from 1-3 days.

This can apply here too.

The amount of oil that can be safely burned is finite. Meaning there's only so much air to burn, and it should be auctioned off at market value, thus it gets more and more expensive over time. We pay for garbage disposal, why not pay market rate for carbon disposal too, it's the most capitalistic and scalable way to solve the problem.

Instead of trying to have this type of accounting many lobby to simply not pay for it because it would make their business less competitive with other energy businesses.

As for the alaskan wilderness, that could become profitable farmland or residental area later on as the climate warms. Being a wilderness experience would increase the value of the real instead whereas being oil contaminated would make it a lot less desirable.
Depends a lot on your skin. I don't shave my head, but I'll not infrequently get little nicks when shaving my face, despite trying all manner of razors, gels, and creams. Best is if I can give it a few days between each shave -- it tends to be much worse if I have to shave on consecutive days, as it's still irritated from one day when shaving the next.
The human voice is one of the most amazing analog synths. Let them learn to speak and sing before dropping what's fundamentally mathematical on them. A keyboard with presents will do just fine once the motor control is good enough and the hands big enough, perhaps. A set of pots and spoons makes for a fun drum kit, too, by the way. You are primarily concerned about creativity, isn't it?
I am sure bamboozled meant it as a lower boundary.

In my opinion it works with food for almost all people and with fluids for many. I also drink more than enough just be drinking when I am thirsty. Some friends and also commenters here mention that their thirst doesn't work as well. So key is to know whether you can rely on your thirst.

There are rules against circumventing campaign contribution laws. Intentional suppression (as alleged) of Tulsi's speech, or that of any other candidate, is equivalent to donations to her opponents of millions of dollars, given Google's scale, without following FEC rules on the same.
Thanks for the thoughtful response! Are studios in the city out of the question for an early career couple? Should we be looking at Oakland or outside the city?
Yes, and I definitely understand the argument that Google shouldn't be doing this, but note that we aren't talking about evidence of bias anymore. When someone sees confusing behavior on a political query, the tendency is to assume that political bias is involved, when it's just a very ordinary failing that search engines have all the time.

I don't know the basis of the decision to enact that policy around autocomplete, but I do know Google has been sued many times due to the queries in autocomplete associated with people's names.

Ask HN: Is There a Google Chromecast Alternative?
It seems this protocol isn't opensource, so there will be no opensource projects which can act as a receiver for Chromecast.

Does Google plan to opensource it? Any other app which can make it possible to cast videos from Chromecast supported apps?
Usually with things like this, the result is already fairly well established, or close enough at least, within the scale any real-world application would require.

You can think of it like the four color theorem. A beautiful theoretical result (though a far less beautiful proof), but the only practical significance is now cartographers know they'll never need that extra crayon....
Google should just disallow political ads entirely. This is a no-win proposition. Being too lax leads to election meddling, trying to flag suspicious activity is censorship. You're just an easy punching bag.

They've already stopped serving political ads in Canada, so there's precedent.
In winter some nuclear power plants also have to be shut down because their cooling rivers are frozen.

Isn't that where you'd want flats? Nobody wants a SFH next to tracks. Certain types of people (I won't generalise) always seem to want to call apartment buildings "future slums." This almost never materialises. Is it a racial thing for you?
To be fair to the article it does state that people who get Lyme disease for real sometimes have lingering symptoms like you describe. The article isn’t about that, it’s about quack doctors prescribing huge amounts of antibiotics to people who never had a Lyme infection, whose symptoms are likely psychosomatic. Most of the symptoms read like stress, depression, and exhaustion to me.
They don’t necessarily shut the nuclear plants down, they throttle the power output. It isn’t a strict on/off switch, but a controlled reaction. They said two were offline but it wasn’t said why they were offline. (Likely usual maintenance and refueling). You wouldn’t specifically shut down for this reason.
That there are long term affects is not the dispute. Rather it's whether those are the lingering effects of a prior infection or present effects of an ongoing one.

Ongoing intravenous antibiotics is very dangerous to the recipient.
this is not an engineering problem, it is a "how much are we willing to affect wild life" problem.

Propecia is basically a cure for baldness as long as you start taking it before you lose too much hair. It’s very widely used—walk into any gay bar in San Francisco and you will notice there is hardly anyone under 40 who is bald.

There is a strange phenomenon online where in every discussion of propecia, someone will show up and claim they had terrible sexual side effects. But in the original clinical trials, the rate of such side effects was nearly the same as placebo. And I personally know about 10 men who take it and none have experienced side effects. I think people make these claims to get attention in forums, or it’s simply a placebo effect.
Ask HN: Opinions on Apache Druid engine
Hi, is there anyone who has deep insights into Apache Druid?

I have some questions about it

- Is Druid recommendable in terms of its performance and functions?
- If you are in the actual use of Druid, for which purpose are you utilizing it and which benefits does it provide?
- How is it compared to other time-series databases?
- We are thinking of linking Druid-processed data with BI tools. If you are currently linking Druid-processed data with other next-steps what would that be?

I would really appreciate your advice thanks!
Really incredible machines. Additive manufacturing has gotten all of the hype lately because it's new and quickly developing, it's equally exciting to see cutting edge developments in traditional subtractive manufacturing.
There is simply no demand from municipalities for more housing. The logical consequence of Proposition 13 is that housing becomes a liability for governments, instead of an asset. Therefore, they forego developing new liabilities, and instead develop new assets, commercial property use.
Anything that lowers the barrier to do something lowers the barrier to produce crap.
Idk about Germany, but this cannot happen in France, the climat is way too warm for that.

Edit: having looked a bit more in details, it looks like even though the rivers can't be frozen to a point it stops the plant from functioning, the water admission systems can (partially) freeze in extreme weather and it happened a few time in France already.

You're right that one can't compensate for lack of rigidity with software but you can have an inaccurate but rigid structure and compensate on top of that. It's pretty common practice to use some sort of software compensation to improve accuracy (at least in certain applications where it matters).

Metal milling machine need to be super rigid because of the cutting forces... You can build super accurate machines (e.g. with granite) that can't be used for milling but can place a tool with a (sub-)micron accuracy.

Even with metal you can take lighter cuts and trade off some rigidity for accuracy, but then it's gonna take much longer to get anything done...
Nah, if you actually cure aging, you could sell it at any cost to anyone. How will they afford it? They'll give you a loan and five hundred years to repay it.

> The description of A2 standard features sounds very similar to the new Linux multi-queue block device framework.

Unless I missed something, it's not that fancy. It's just one queue, not multiple queues -- the only new thing is that the length of the queue is more than 1. A multi-queue device is a device with more than one independent queue. This is useful for very high performance devices (NVMe, for example) that can allow multiple CPUs to submit requests at once without interfering with each other. If there's only a single queue, then all CPUs trying to submit need to contend for access to the queue.
Ahhhh, that makes sense. I'm on mobile. The choice of "bolded" words seemed to make no sense...
Are you serious? EU citizen here. US has a two party state (where one is deadpan centrist and the other right wing). EU has a whole host of political parties from far right to far left. It's the most diverse political landscape. That could potentially mean it's much more democratic than the US. I wish more US citizens cared more about the outside world than they did about their selves.
I think the key point here is that percentage wise, there is way more shovelware produced in Unity than gems. They are not wrong.
Yes famous conjectures usually already have a wealth of "downstream" results predicated on their truth value. But sometimes the proof technique is itself novel and that can carry over to other fields.
This is not chess. But a game of chance. You can't form a strategy based off random without predicting said random.

The constant stream of information broadcast on Bluetooth is a concern. But MAC addresses of Apple devices have been randomized for a long time.

Those are most likely implants which means they take healthy follicules from the back of head and reimplant them in the front.

The idea with the treatment discussed here is to create hair follicules from stem cells.

So as pointed in the article, people who have female pattern baldness or more advanced stages of baldness (who are not candidates for 'collecting' healthy follicules from the back of the head) could still undergo a hair transplant.

It'd be technically interesting to see how expensive it is to mine the ice and shovel it into directly into the cooling system somehow. It isn't like there is a problem finding heat to melt the ice once it is on site, absorbing waste heat is the whole point.

I'm reminded of a spot-on comment by Gene Roddenberry:

>federal policy that decimates the US economy

Either we tackle this problem in a timely way by choosing our tactics thoughtfully, or the near future will be decimated by an uncaring set of physics principles.

We must choose wisely.
More importantly spending 99% of the time on self-inflicted non-problems that come with using the web as application platform. For example that anyone can open any url anytime...that alone leads to so many problems related to security (user isn't supposed to be able to see/edit/etc this part) and flow (this page shouldn't be visited before filling a form in this other page, and or if we randomly visit there it would error out crazy, what if user deletes their session, what if network is lost which can happen literally any time in the applications life etc) and then of course theres the matter of anything that would be a trip to ram/local hard disk becomes a networked trip to a distant server.
This story omits the most important information. What happens to plant and animal life if we raise the river temperature? And what happens if we instead burn more coal in Germany to compensate?
It's not commodotized at all. They have successfully achieved the jump to be the "nobody got fired for choosing company X" of cloud computing. Everybody trusts them. I've been directly involved in planning out cloud migration for an organization and put forward other options that were substantially cheaper but it didn't matter: they wanted AWS.
It's a distinction that physicists have brought into the field, the bottom refers to the lowest level of detail, usually cellular but sometimes molecular.
> understand the SSDs these days don't have great retention specs when not powered.

The standard for consumer-grade SSDs is retention of at least a year after the drive is worn out. When the drive has been used only lightly (which is likely to be the case for a backup drive), retention will generally be several times longer. Flash memory is still not a good choice as an archival medium, but it's not like your bits are going to fade away as quickly as a rechargeable battery.
Small tip: looking at the spelling errrors, I bet you're on mobile, and using the standard Google or iOS keyboard set to French. I constantly have to switch between English and my native language as well. But I found out that with Swiftkey (by Microsoft), you don't need to manually switch between two languages; you just configure two language at once and the software does autocorrect for both.

We are looking to move some of our applications to the cloud and Kubernetes the coming time. We'd like to go for DO, partially for the horror the AWS interface appears to be. Could you give me an idea what we'd be missing by choosing DO over AWS? (as your comment appears to say we would)
Heaven forbid that be allowed to happen! /s
I have "beaten" it. Play initially like you would - typically a human would change his choice often. The network would learn from you and gain a lead of say 10 points. After this, if you pick something that gives you a win start sticking to it while it gives you a win. You will quickly regain the lost points and gain a small lead. This seems to work every time I try it. After 60 moves I always lead a bit. Btw, the game gets slow then.

Not sure a bigram or trigram model would not do better than the neural network.
As msds was saying, if you're e.g. looking to cut metal you need to have a rigid structure. Otherwise the tool just bounces around given the cutting forces which really can't be compensated for. You entire structure deflects and vibrates under those forces. Accuracy is a different story, if you have a repeatable but not accurate system you can certainly fix the accuracy via calibration or feedback (feedback can be what gets you the repeatability).

Tulsi and the article are specific in their mention of Google's 88% market share, because it is material to her being heard in 2019, when most of our communication is online.

The FEC has no mandate to regulate monopolies, but when a monopoly with the power to manipulate elections violates electioneering laws, it automatically becomes the most egregious offender, and the focus of any logic based decision making at the FEC.

Obviously, these are still allegations, but Tulsi has won many elections over 15 years, and her campaign is likely seasoned in managing Google advertising accounts. Which is why her allegations seem believable, given her overt criticism of Google, and Google employees' support of other candidates

they’ll get 50% raises forever

50% raises are a sign of company growth and a competitive market. Once a business is well established, growing slowly, and there are enough developers to go around compensation will settle down.

We're in the first few decades of Internet technology companies. This is the industrial revolution all over again. If you look at the first factory workers in the early-1800s, and the first steam engine engineers, and the first factory production foremen, they were quite well paid relative to other jobs. Later, when rural folk saw what was happening and moved to the cities and mill towns for work, and the supply of workers boomed, the wages stopped growing (and actually fell). The factory owners made hundreds of millions in today's money. They built towns for their workers to live in (Bournville, Rowntree, Port Sunlight here in the UK). Now Google is looking to do the same sort of thing. Its all playing out in a very similar way.

Give it another 20-30 years and things will look very different in tech.
It is a problem, if not a very big one right now. With the climate changing, expect Europe to build out more air conditioning to cope with hotter summers, raising power usage. Dismissing this very real operational problem for the power plants is unwise.
Your confidence is misplaced. From a business point of view they’re making more money now by managing symptoms than if it were possible to completely cure baldness.
Is this a joke or reference, perhaps?
Point is, most normal computer usage absolutely should NOT require a 10TB SSD and 256GB ram. It didn't for providing the same/more functionality a few years ago, why does it suddenly require these days?
