In the context of American culture it seems like a significant fraction of citizens wish to own and bear arms. That desire which exists within those citizens has deep cultural and historical roots.

But export that same cultural desire via a migrant American residing in almost any other country in the world and it would seem out of place in the context of the local culture. People would be weird out by the creepy American who insists on keeping guns in his or her house.

Same goes for the Burkha. Take it out of context of it's deep historical and cultural context in it's birthplace and it is an anachronism; like taking Mt Fuji and placing in the middle of Saudi Arabia.
Good amount of detail here including flow:

“...In its simplest form, a completed payment through the FedNow Service involving two participating banks would have the following steps.103 To start, a sender would initiate a payment through its bank, by submitting instructions to it using an end-user interface outside the FedNow Service. After the sender’s bank authenticates the sender and validates the payment, it would submit a payment message to a Reserve Bank using the FedNow Service. The FedNow Service would authenticate the sender’s bank and validate the payment message, for example, by verifying that the message meets the FedNow format specifications. Before the Reserve Bank executes the payment message, the service would place a provisional hold on funds in the master account of the sender’s bank and would then send an inquiry message to the receiver’s bank seeking confirmation that the receiver’s bank, among other things, maintains a valid account for the receiver included in the payment message received by the Reserve Bank. If the receiver’s bank sends a positive response to the inquiry, the FedNow Service would execute the payment for the Reserve Banks by sending a payment message forward with an advice of credit to the receiver’s bank and nearly simultaneously processing a final debits and final credit to the master accounts of the sender’s bank and receiver’s bank, respectively.104 The banks are responsible for debiting and crediting their customers’ accounts and providing further notification to their customers that the payment has been completed. The entire process would take place within seconds...”

In Poland 1921 record of 40,2°C still holds strong.

Actually top 5 are - 1921, 1921, 1959, 1921, 1994.

Not denying heatwaves but the news reporting seems skewed a bit. We had heatwaves in Western Europe while fairly cold summer in Eastern Europe due to jetstream this year. But 'Heatwave in Paris' makes better headline then 'Cold summer in Minsk'.

Saddly jetstream and its consequences is still poorly understood by science.

Yeah, even if climate change is really bad and means 10 degrees increase, Earth will still be more habitable than Mars. And reversing climate change, while a huge project, will be easier than terraforming Mars (at least from a technological perspective, political perspective is a different question). As much as I think that global warming is a major threat to humanity, Mars won't be more habitable than Earth for a long time.

There are already quite hostile places on Earth that require lots of technology to be habitable, like Antarctica, or the surface of the oceans. But both places are far more habitable than Mars is. And if something goes wrong you can send help far more easily.
I think your confusion comes from thinking there is only one type of money.

For simplification, there are two kid of moneys, the 'government money' and the 'lending money' (my terminology).

Government money would be: cash and reserves.

Reserves come from two sources (both are the government) the Central Bank and the treasure. So, when the treasure spend in the economy is creating government money. Also, when the central bank 'give' reserves to the private banks is creating money. When the govenrment tax is destroying money and when the Central Bank retire reserves of the system is destroying money.

The 'lending money' is created by the private banks when lending, but it disappears when the money is payed back. This is a different kind of money, a less 'real' money if you want.

You can find more information in many places. For instance:

When working on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, this is such a productivity killer. Quite annoyed at the time lost from this behavior, after coming from a Mac. In shells where I run a program that may load a larger data set (e.g. before ipython), I now regularly run `ulimit -v 50000000` to limit the shell's virtual memory to ~50 GB of the available 64 GB on this machine.

If the program tries to use more RAM it'll then just die, and not drag down the whole system with it. Works fine, but I really shouldn't have to do this.

I'm pretty sure there are no quarter million dollar flying cars which are not obvious death traps.

The original flying car was the light helicopter, particularly the designs by Robinson Helicopter in the 1970s. The idea was that upper middle class professionals (doctors, lawyers, maybe computer programmers, etc) would prefer to learn the helicopter and commute into the city from the countryside than drive to work. This idea didn't pan out, because many/most professionals prefer city life (once the race riots stopped in the 70s), and flying light helicopters is both difficult/stressful, extremely expensive ($200/hr) and fairly dangerous (motorcycle tier or worse). Those who do it, do it as a hobby.

Yet, in the same way that a spreadsheet is not a database, is not a data-acquisition tool, is not an application programming language: people have used email for all these purposes and not been completely unsuccessful.

That's why general tools are awesome: you can do things with them that the originators didn't dream would be possible -- or desirable.
> do you have any idea what part(s) are failing so quickly? The rotors, the motors, the battery?

My bet is on the power electronic semiconductors, mostly MOSFETs, in the motor controllers. Life time of these components decreases exponentially with the temperature difference they see in the semiconductor junction, i.e. the difference between hot (current is flowing, heating the junction with a power of I^2 * R_ds_on) and cold.

To make this deltaT_junction small, you need to choose big components, but at the same time you want to save weight, which is fundamentally at odds with overdimensioning everything.
Possible, yes, but the smaller number of root processes and their general higher-risk status implies that a different policy entirely might be better than the same policy with different parameters.

Besides which, I'm looking at https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/mm/oom_kill.c and I genuinely can't see where root processes get privileged. I can see a reference to a `root bonus` in a comment, but other than that... maybe my kernel source reading skills are just too rusty.
It's not a monopoly under the dictionary definition:

>the exclusive possession or control of the supply of or trade in a commodity or service.

It is maybe under the Sherman Act:

>“Monopoly power” is generally understood to mean “the power to control prices or exclude competition”.

I wish when people use words in a different way to the dictionary meaning they'd say so. Otherwise it leads to a whole lot of pointless "Oh yes it is" vs "oh no it isn't" in discussion.
Rather than this workaround, don't use secrets this way at all. Do public key crypto. You don't need a PKI because you have an existing registration + authentication flow you can re-use to figure out which keys belong to which users.

This design is safe because your systems don't have any secrets to mistakenly log or otherwise lose. Make things we don't want to happen _impossible_ and they'll stop happening. Merely saying "Don't do that" doesn't make it stop happening.

Your site can literally post all the WebAuthn registration data for users on the front page, and it won't make it any easier for bad guys to sign in as those users, there aren't any secrets in there. That's a correct design.

That's just BS. Do you work for DB? ;-) Sure the U-Bahn is slightly better but with SBahn.. "störung" or "zug fällt aus" is the norm. Off the top of my head the last 5~6 rides I've taken with SBahn every single time the train was either:

- late

- a service was skipped

- broke down half way through the journey

Come to think of it actually just last week I was forced to take the train and ofc the next service "zug fällt aus". Then after some ~40 mins of waiting there was the next service. A group of kids shouted "Oh mein Gott, s-bahn!". Great summary of the quality of the service.

Just because the vehicle traffic also sucks doesn't redeem S/UBahn by any factor!

The article mentions Scrum, and its synchronous daily meetings. It fails to mention that Scrum is also largely supported by asynchronous communication, like code commits, review requests, reviews and documentation.

The effect in my experience is that the purpose of the Scrum meeting is to offer a birds eye view of the asynchronous systems that make up the bulk of the development process, to enable participation and further comment. "The idea that a quarter of an hour of structured synchrony is enough time to enable a full day of work might sound preposterous" because it is. It's just there to kickstart the day and to give everyone a general idea of what's going on.

For anyone doubting this, I suggest skipping a scrum meeting to see how much it actually impedes your work. Then, if you dare, try to avoid using the asynchronous communication that supports the development process for a day. Compare the results.

Overall I just think that people should consider more carefully whether a topic is more suited for email, phone call or a meeting.

Swap doesn't resolve this on a HDD though. The UI/terminal still locks up, and you still can't recover once you hit the point of thrashing.

What really confuses me is that this kernel was developed when SSDs didn't exist, so how on earth did "The system becomes irrecoverably unresponsive if a single application uses too much RAM" get missed?

It depends on the situation. Email should be accompanied by a messaging system that a) lets you know if the other person is available to chat, and b) provides real-time interaction.

The combination is more efficient than phone or video conferences, and much more efficient than in-person conferences, especially those requiring a plane trip. These more often involve social banter and often include participants who are only marginal contributors or time wasters.
What is not correct? How is that related to the workplace at all? You're hired to do work. You don't have to agree with anyone else's politics to do that work. It's unlikely that all of your colleagues agree with your views anyway, and if you really have such a problem with the employer then you can easily choose not to work for them.

I see no reason why you must discuss your political opinions with everyone else when they have no bearing on the work or job responsibility. It's neither obvious nor valid to me, and seems completely unprofessional.
This is a great thought. When I was around 12 years old I played RuneScape. After grinding away for weeks I bought a legendary item which I lost shortly after in a scam.

This was a big wake up call for me. Having previously seen how obvious some scammers were I didn’t think it could ever happen to me: I thought you had to be a fool to be scammed. The core lesson was that it could happen to everyone and by thinking that scams would only happen to fools I had lowered my own defenses to the point that I was susceptible.

> You can drive to the downtown area and expect to find street parking

I don't think I've ever seen a French city where most streets, including those downtown, don't have street parking. Most of the time it's not free, but it's always there.
Depends on the city, really. I live in Dublin, which has a not-great public transport system (a couple of train lines, a couple of tram lines, a vast, sprawling, slow bus system). I don't have a use for a car (on the rare occasion I need to go to the suburbs, I can use the bus system), but some people certainly do. When I visit German cities, though, I'm always kind of amazed anyone bothers having a car.
In some jurisdictions, the guy behind you would actually be entitled to a finder's reward in this case. For example, here in Germany, finder's reward is between 3% or 5% of the item's value: https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/bgb/__971.html
That gap is being bridged by scooters (electric rental ones, but also private ones, non electric ones) and bikes (same here, rental but also private ones)

This mars bullshit is basically the Bioshock plan.

If you assume it's to "save humanity" it makes no sense whatsoever, there's no way you'll terraform mars and be able to send thousands of people there let alone millions let alone billions before it all goes down.

If you assume it's a bunch of libertarian brolionaires who want to skedaddle when shit hits the fan it still makes no sense but it fits with the same folks building doomsday bunkers in NZ.
Founder here. As a front end developer, I turn design files into front-end code regularly. But it's a repetitive and demotivating task. It takes time, lots of meetings and boring back and forth questions. I want to change that.

So I tried to automate this process. I trained a deep learning (DL) model to visually understand what elements are in a webpage (e.g. input, button, nav, etc) and build the front-end boiler plate automatically for me. I learned a lot in the process, the actual site builder is a mathematical interpretation of a Sketch file and the DL model outputs what elements to include in what section.

To be completely transparent I'm not quite there yet. I'm only able to have ~90% of the site right. The other ~10% are misinterpretations or incorrect positioning of the elements. In order for this to work properly, it requires manual validation - which for my own projects I’m more than happy to do.

Even at this stage I think this tool can help others as well, so please let me know if you have any questions.

We can be more productive without repetitive tasks.

What I'm saying:

Cars are really only a problem in densely populated cities. But they are also the thing that makes less-densely populated areas viable to live at.

Public transport is what makes it possible to live without a car. But public transport is only economically viable in densely populated areas.

So: This equation resolves into something pretty obvious: Have car-free cities, but also continue car-based development of areas of lesser density, probably with "park and ride" being the interface.

Making the car and low population density out to be the devil and a remnant of the past, and car-free high-density development to be the future and solution of all transport-problems is a completely one-sided view.

But the power that Cloudflare has, is being one of the only services to offer protection against modern DoS attacks. If you're a somewhat controversial site (be it right extremist or LGBTQ or sex worker forum) you are going to be suffering these attacks. And then Cloudflare is your only option, or suffer being DoS-ed off line constantly.

Correct me if I am wrong, but Cloudflare is the only serious option against heavy modern DoS attacks, right?

Cause if you can go somewhere else, then sure Cloudflare do it's thing. But if you can't ... then that is way too much power for a random company to hold the gate over any kind of controversial group, anywhere on the political, cultural or global spectrum. Because we really needed another US corporation with runaway power, that'll balance things.

It's not clear to me how you can say that a new heuristic is "far inferior", nor how you can say that the academics lack a good framework but you presumably don't. How do you know what a good framework would look like?

Interesting tbh if it was the same amount of time I would just drive in.

Outside of London the train is always slower. I used to live in Manchester and get the train into Stoke. Driving was always faster without exception. Generally it was cheaper as well (I have a crappy old diesel astra that is even cheaper to repair and I will drive it til the wheels fall off).
Narrow streets are usually the start point/destination, with most of the traffic in the wider boulevards. And city planned before the advent of cars can still be car-friendly, like the Haussmann works in Paris.

Let's say X make an innovation that necessitate the use an older patent from inventor Y.

Three things:
1) X has not to pay anything to conceptualize his innovation.
2) X can make a nested patent.
3) a user of the innovation of x must pay a royaltie (why is that an issue?) to Y.
If X made a nested patent, the user must pay X and Y.
Is this right?

BTW who fixe the amount of royalties?
