And it's crystal clear and obvious in this case that it doesn't matter. The man shot a bunch of people, and was subsequently killed to stop his slaughter. There is no doubt to his guilt. There is no case to build. While the public may wish to know more about the shooters motives, that's not something the public or any law enforcement agency needs to keep people safe.
The fundamental problem is "player benefits from minimizing risk", which is usually boring. It happens in most genres, e.g. it's especially bad in roguelikes, where luring enemies to doors is a common tactic.

Of the proposed solutions: cover, hidden information, and enemy leashing are only obfuscating the low-risk path, not actually removing it. A good player is still rewarded for boring play, e.g. bouncing grenades at the leashed enemies.

Rewarding risk-taking is a good solution, but hard to implement in a FPS because there are only so many rewards you can give.

One-way paths are criticized for breaking exploration, but I think it's possible to get the benefits of them while still allowing exploration. Consider Ninja Gaiden for the NES. It spawns enemies when you cross certain thresholds, and crucially it does this every time you cross them, even if you already defeated the enemies. This punishes retreat by undoing any progress you made. You're forced to take risks, and it's IMO a better game because of it.

Some people call Ninja Gaiden unfair, but I think that's because they didn't understand the mechanic. You could get the same benefits while making it easier to understand, and more fair feeling, e.g.:

* Clearly mark the spawn triggers

* Visually show the triggers activating, e.g. with particle effects flying from them to the enemy spawn points

* Don't let the enemies harm the player immediately after spawning, so the player has time to react.

* Cap the number of active enemies and the spawn rate from each spawn trigger (Ninja Gaiden has sprite limits, but you can still produce absurd-looking spawn patterns by repeatedly crossing the trigger point).

Ninja Gaiden also has time limits, which are IMO an underrated method of punishing boring play. Time limits aren't fashionable in modern games, but I think they should be brought back. They're compatible with exploration by including hidden bonus time powerups.
My girlfriend and I are currently fostering two pigeons (pet pigeons, hatched from other pet pigeons) who were abused by the children of their prior owners (they shot the pigeons with BBs and broke one's wing). It's obvious that they suffer PTSD and they are afraid of people now, much more than other pigeons we've fostered.
I'm very sorry that happened to you.

I'm also sorry, I stupidly didn't consider that anyone would've actually been kidnapped before, and wasn't actually thinking about this seriously. (I was thinking of much lighter reasons some customers' HRs might object.) Please disregard the above scenario suggestion.
There are plenty of paranoid people. We have a ways to go before we reach authoritarian.
On multi-city trips, usually the UI allows the user to select each leg individually, so it is a very trivial problem (i.e., the same as 5 one way trips).

So no, there's no special magic here.
I think you're living in a different world than I am
"The following values are considered false:

* None

* False

* zero of any numeric type, for example, 0, 0L, 0.0, 0j.

* any empty sequence, for example, '', (), [].

* any empty mapping, for example, {}.

* instances of user-defined classes, if the class defines a __nonzero__() or __len__() method, when that method returns the integer zero or bool value False."

This really does not strike me as being simple.

I personally don't find these shortcuts to be worthwhile. The best approach is that boolean is a separate type, true is true, false is false, and any attempt to use any other type as the predicate of a control flow statement is a (preferably compile-time) error. Writing `if x != 0` is not a large burden.
Staff (l7) is no where near middle engineer. L6 is senior, l5 is engineer and l4 is entry level. L6 is also split into two bands 6a and 6b. As a 6a my total comp is around 240 and on par with my coworkers. The l5s were closer to 200. L5 is a middle engineering level.
Methanol is an alternative to hydrogen. With current technologies it is less efficient to produce it and then generate electricity in fuel cells, but storing it is trivial.
Could it just be an RTG to power the rocket's systems in flight, instead of an actual nuclear propulsion system?

tl;dr: They dig around to see you’re paying the correct license fees.

They’re common and expensive enough that law firms offer special counseling explicitly for that.
I disagree that IBM is dying, not aggressively growing, but not dying.

Not in the US they don't. Emergency exits frequently have alarms but locking those doors is a good way to get your business shut down. (Yes violations do happen, but those businesses get fined and shut down pretty quickly.)
These are things you learn by doing in-depth analysis of AIS and related data sources. As far as I know, no one writes about it. Physical world data sources are full of interesting patterns and anomalies. Few people ever look because the data sources are challenging to work with and very different from Internet data, which is the only kind of data most people are used to.
This is why I want to design and develop software _lazily_, as a kind of perpetual wizard of oz experiment. I'm laying the foundations now, for a 'magic' software experience that learns to become whatever you need, lazily, driven behind the curtain by operators and agents, AI and human.

Wasn't the argument that a rocket with nuclear propulsion can keep accelerating all the way to the target, so by the time it gets there it travels at speeds that make it completely unstoppable? That would make it marginally more useful than ICMBs during war.
That's the point, isn't it? Batteries are not a panacea for energy storage needs, even with a doubling of their capacity.
Do assembly languages even have a concept of truthy/falsy? The ones I'm familiar with always require an explicit predicate, such as "jump if zero" or "jump if not zero."

what was the nail-down / how are they able to help now?
Maybe it depends on the city. In the towns I've lived in, it's been pretty strict.

But then again I was a firefighter, so if I see a code violation I'll call the fire marshal. I expect other firefighters would do the same, off duty or not.
This was mentioned in a previous HN thread and I thought it was a brilliant idea.

By default, browsers should throttle websites. Throttle their CPU and their ram usage, and websites can then ask for permission to be unthrottled.

We have very capable computers now. But the web feels just as slow. Some negative pressure against bloat is sorely sorely needed.
(To the flagged commenters Bostonian and devoply)

You're both wrong.

With non-citizens already in our midst responsible for crime waves, some domestic surveillance may be a regrettable but necessary but is still A Bad Idea.

And likewise, open unchecked borders are a mistake, and the treatment of children is way overblown and misrepresented. Obama never performed DNA testing to find the obvious child buyers.

Here is context of Trump's tweet about the Fabulous Four,

1. "Why don’t they go back"

2. "and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came"

3. "Then come back and show us how it is done. These places need your help badly..."

How many of your chosen news sources and celebs are only quoting #1? How many have consistently failed to quote #1,2,3? Is it 'racist' to tell people to go, then come back and show us how it's done?

THIS is why open unchecked borders is a bad idea for the most desirable developed countries,

The article is not actually about that. It’s a poorly titled submission.
Part of it is that pax telling drivers to ignore the app can be a scam. They tell the driver to take a "better way", which turns out to be a worse way, and then they complain to Uber and ask to get a refund. So a lot of drivers prefer to simply listen to the app even when suboptimal as that way only the app can be blamed.
I got RSI like 15 years ago. The only thing that's worked for me long term when I'm actually doing coding all day long, is a combination of:

a) a keyboard holder below the desk - something similar to https://kw.pricenacdn.com/files/images/products/original/14/... - I got mine from IKEA a long time ago - unfortunately they discontinued that product - the key thing here is the get the keyboard as close to your legs as possible, i.e. enabling your arms to be purely horizontally oriented while typing - or ideally even sort of downwards-pointing.

b) Microsoft Natural Keyboard Pro - manufactured 1999-2001 (e.g. https://mechanicalkeyboardtryout.blogspot.com/2016/03/micros... or http://www.dansdata.com/nkpro.htm) I have two of these; they're very durable. You'll need to wash the key caps in your dishwasher once a year.
Handling is much more complex than traction and low center of gravity. The car needs to be predictable at different speeds, under braking and a mix of a lot of other conditions. That's a much more difficult thing to get right than going straight.
So people pay for redhat because they did not move to container/ microservices architecture. Any main stream technology (Mainframe, Dec/Vax, PC, VM) will always have legacy customers.

However, one the state of the art architecture is micro services, the optimal runtime is kuberentes. Once everyone is on kubernetes hardware will not matter.

Moreover, I would love a cloud based on second hand hardware (which should be much cheaper than 30%).
How does that affect you, besides jealousy?
RTGs have way too low power to mass ratios to be used in aviation.
You could say the same about a hypothetical encryption backdoor. The question is whether consumers should be allowed to use encryption the FBI can’t crack even with a warrant. I think the answer is “yes”, but…

Not substantially. The issue is that energy that would normally escape does not.
The very fact that there's a CVE for breaking out of docker shows that it's a big deal :)
Another "paradigm" is that full and empty batteries are shipped between regions by boat or truck as needed instead of just waiting 6 months for the planet to move through the cosmos.
You can also add a half and a tenth.

135, half is 67, a tenth is 13, add those two together to get 80, 135+80=215.
The person who comes to check that you’re using their products according to the licensing agreements and what you’re paying for, I imagine.

This article is from 2105. The title should be updated to reflect that.
Wear should never be an issue considering how (relatively) rarely the car would need to shift. It will be used at higher speeds so it won't shift that often. Chances you swing between high and low speed (over/under 100+Km/h probably) that often are small.

There are efficiency and performance advantages to having a multi speed gearbox for an EV. So far about 5-20% improved efficiency for 2 to 4 speed gearboxes. ZF insists EVs might end up using 4-speed gearboxes eventually but I can't help think they're biased in proposing this.
Pumped water does not scale well, there are only so many mountain valleys to block. And I'd rather keep a few in a somewhat natural state (a magic "no more mountain valleys in exchange for instantly solved climate change" would be attractive nonetheless, even though I write this from a very nice, unblocked mountain valley).

But when your concern is just seasonal storage for heating, you don't need pumped storage. Just great water in a big, isolated tank, it's not even new technology. The surface per volume shrinks the bigger the system, so very large tanks can have quite nice loss numbers.
The entire UK energy use is about 2% of the world total. So I'm guessing that the storage needs of your specific (and oddly non-grid connected) home is only a small fraction of that and doesn't affect the larger, global, back of the envelope figure I'm looking for.

Using numbers to quantify the situation is part of why I'm asking, asking (and answering) the right questions so we don't get silly answers is the other important part though.
I may be incorrect, but space based solar would catch energy that would reach the earth anyway, basically shading us.
So it would probably be more or less adding the same energy, but sending it to the ground rather than dispersing some in the stratosphere.
I got as far as $130,000.

This is the same thing I was thinking about this Marvin Minsky portion of the story as well. No offense to her and not knowing the full context, but I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that very few trafficked prostitutes know who Marvin Minsky is. And it seems like if I was a prostitute making up a story like this, even if I knew who he was? Some random MIT professor is the last person that would come to mind if I was fabricating a story like this.
So all of those are quite exotic, and thus risky / expensive to support.
Seems like having more than one way to solve the puzzle could be fun. Next time you see if you can pick an alternate ending. Or providing extra “tools” to newbies that make the time pressure much more intense if you don’t have them the second time around.
U.S. vs. Jeffrey Epstein
By original comment I mean https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19984428, the one you linked to upthread. I just clicked on it like everyone else.
As someone who grew up in the US, lived in the EU, Australia and NZ for a number of years, I can say on a day to day basis, it's still pretty much nothing.

The average American rarely ever has to directly confront violence. I've even spent years in major metropolitan areas and the majority of people don't walk around each day anticipating violence. My sister got mugged once, in our small home city, like 20 years ago. I've never personally been mugged or assaulted, but I did have one break in while in NZ (they took all my electronics) and I had a bicycle stolen in Australia.

I haven't lived in "bad parts of town" through (although friends told me I lived in a bad part of town in two places I lived in; but I really feel they were exaggerating) and in high crime areas I'm sure it's different.

But the portrayal the rest of the world sees of America is through a very limited lens. And German or Irish or Chinese person who comes to visit the US will see kids playing in parks, people in the cities walking to work or lunch, others browsing through stores or pumping petrol into their cars and it will generally looks pretty much like every other part of the mid/high income industrialized world.
That's very interesting, do you have any sources for that? I'd like to learn more. Especially on the topic of second-by-second settlement.
Maybe this is what progress looks like...

I think the reason people learned much more about the geography before was because it was a byproduct of doing the work needed to get around. Those Thomas guides weren't easy. Of course, I like that kind of thing. Not everyone wants to spend mental energy on this.

I have thought about, without success, how to make a mapping app that would be good for someone who liked to think about where they were going.
The only tested nuclear thermal rocket was open cycle (in the US at least), but even back then there were drawing board designs for closed cycle engines that would not have radioactive exhaust.

On nearly any kind of coverage of an "amazing new innovation", the simplest sanity check you can do is check if they've filed a patent. If they haven't bothered, you'll be dead and buried before their work has any impact on your life.
Right, look at the size of the motor versus the size of the batteries in an electric car. Efficiency is already well over 90%, too.

If you managed to create an idealized electric motor that was 100% efficient, had no limits on power, torque, or RPM, weighed nothing, took up no space, and cost nothing, it would be a nice improvement but I don't think even this would revolutionize electric cars. Batteries are the key.
Not sure if things are in a similar state now, but it looks like the FBI and Apple had reason to believe something like this could be done.

Infinity War is showing up as $4 to rent on YouTube and ITunes.

https://play.google.com/store/movies/details?id=OxzKb4a1Qc4

I’ve never heard of a $10 rental though sometimes new releases are only available for purchase for an initial period.

For the three movies that aren’t listed I’m guessing they haven’t been digitized, which is usually a decision by the content owners who don’t see the ROI of paying for film scanning yet. It’s true there could be a niche streaming service that pays this upfront cost for an agreement to be the exclusive provider for a while but the economics of that would be rough.
It's mainly for fun, but to find cases where it might be useful, think about symlinks into this filesystem. `ln -s /bashfs/somescript.sh /etc/hosts` and then your hosts file can be dynamically generated without any changes to programs that read it. It can be a clever way to sneak dynamic behavior into contexts where there would normally just be a static file.
If you go distillate the actual claims from the fluff, the article is saying it has a larger torque to weight, smoother operation at low speeds, and larger efficiency at very high speeds.

And well, three is much to improve on the last two, so I'm willing to believe they got something for those, while I do expect the first claim to get completely lost once they actually produce the motor.
Same position here - going on 2 years now. Did you ever get a diagnosis?

The current theory of my doctor is that it’s a brachial plexus injury - just waiting on some MRI results to confirm.
Tech companies ignore pleas on rail safety
Late shareholders didn’t lose anything. (Assuming you mean RedHat’s shareholders, because if you mean IBM’s then the reference to customers and employees makes less sense.)
I watched some of the DSA convention. I don't think we have anything to worry about. They couldn't organize themselves out of a paper bag.
I feel you. I have RSD, a related disease, and even today half the doctors I see either dismiss it or do not believe in it. I went through YEARS of blame and denial before a very kind specialist in Europe spent time with me and gave me answers. By then it was too late to put it in remission, but their treatments did reduce it some, for which I am grateful as I'd not have lasted beyond that time without it. But day to day its still life altering. It's taken so much from me, that I cannot even afford to deal with it well anymore, let alone the other inevitable medical things and aging.

Pain is too often ignored, dismissed, miscategorized. While psychosomatic issues and stress positively make things worse, it's not always the root of all issues and too often it's projected as such. It will ultimately be the end of me as there is no realistic way to get enough back to survive long term.
An electron microscope alone won’t work not to mention you have a high likelihood of damaging to chip as the voltage of the electrons deposited on the sample can exceed what the IC can tolerate.

You need a cryo probing station of some sort I’m not sure if these even exist for 12/10/7nm logic yet.

But the fact that some types have a reasonable default value doesn’t make the values intrinsically equivalent to Boolean false. Plus, implicit default initialization is itself not necessarily a desirable feature. Especially not the kind that just default initializes to an all-zeroes bit pattern.
The talented ones usually jump ship sooner than later. Many will be offended to be working for IBM now. Those that remain are the others.
I agree with you. I was actually whimsically trying to think of something that might appeal to managers who think those "trust fall" team-building exercises are a good idea. I was going against my own intuition, and ended up with a terrible idea.
He was. Maybe we got it all wrong. Maybe in this case suicide watch meant "Watch him to make sure he doesn't do something squirrely until we can kill him in a way that looks like a suicide".
Well, there are new models coming that start at £65k, which while still really expensive is at least in line with every other premium electric car out there(Mercedes EQC, Audi E-Tron, Jaguar i-Pace all start at around £65k)
It is only important to carefully match the revs when switchen gears. Electric cars with electronic control can be easily programmed to do so.
I'm not sure why you are getting down-voted, you seem to be speaking the truth. I'll add to this:

First the NIMBYs make dense urban living unattainable by restricting it with state enforced violence.

Once they achieve their goal, they get the consequence: urban sprawl.

Once they have urban sprawl they have horrible traffic. People suffer in traffic. Non-NIMBYs create apps to help distribute traffic over existing roads.

Then NIMBYs complain about traffic being distributed over existing roads. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
When I first saw one of these I went inside and asked what the deal was. I immediately wanted to try it out as a challenge to myself, but then they told me it was really meant for groups. Silly introvert me.
