I wrote some books.

Books are completely indefensible. There are billions of the things, and new ones get written all the time. I made some money. I was and am very happy to have written books.

Is writing books a good business? Perhaps not, if viewed through the “The world is divided into unicorns and NOOPs” lens. But I don’t look at the world through that lens.

There are the shortcuts that people in a neighborhood use. This is OK if 10 people a day use it. If 5,000 try, not so good.

I believe that's one of the complaints about the Waze app.

Also there are neighborhood surface streets and then there are high capacity surface streets. If I'd rather take 6 lane boulevards than stop and go on the freeway, why not?

And a grid pattern makes navigating a lot simpler. You head down a street till you hit a major street you know and then you know where you are. Getting lost in a twisty maze of local streets, all alike, is another deal entirely.
I believe the point that OP is making is that the encrypted data on our phones is data historically would never have been available to law enforcement, as it simply wouldn't have existed. Then as now law enforcement can investigate but the investigative process is impossible to automate. On the other hand giving the government access to all the data that we now store about ourselves would enable automated forms of law enforcement that, in the past, were just not possible (this is what we're seeing in China).

Well, the big difference now is that there aren't lots of radiation from external readings, so I doubt there's a big disaster such as Chernobyl. We also have better instruments nowadays.

Of course, different winds could mean it won't be picked up by Northern Europe like last time.

TLDW:

* Russia has comparatively poor capabilities in traditional weapons so they use nuclear weapons to compensate.

* USA is developing nuclear weapons for submarines that they can park at the coast of strategically important places without having to bother with criticism from the host country.

* With Trump in office, European states are wondering about whether to launch a European nuclear program for self defense.

* Baltic states are hard to defend, easy to invade. The NATO presence in the Baltics serves mainly the goal to appease the local population than to prevent any serious invasion attempt.

A week ago I was sitting at work and a civilian car drove by the office window with a plate reader system and went up and down every row of cars in our parking lot.

The car was obviously trespassing, you can't be on the property unless you're a tenant or guest. But due to the spongy ethics of tech companies, I'm sure my license plate is uploaded to some database and people know exactly where I work and what time I'm away from my house.

Still, even the broken stuff is very expensive. Somewhere near the beginning he said he cut the wafers with a CNC laser. We have one of those at university (very entry level) for cutting wood and it cost over 10k. The few community driven fablabs that have lasers almost never allow people to cut their own materials because they can produce toxic gases or reflections that damage the laser optics.

> No, not really, that doesn't seem like an interesting question at all.

You say that, yet you went through the trouble of writing a reply that ponders this exact question: At what point does suicide become morally acceptable?

I do think it is an interesting question. I'd go the way of saying: If you still have serious responsibilities (as in this case), it is immoral.

It's worth noting that suicide used to be a serious offense - or even a capital offense, ironically.

Relative permeability is the characteristic of electrical steels that lets them carry magnetic fields. M19 steel has a permeablity ~8500x higher than vacuum[1].

Permittivity is the characteristic that allows dielectrics to transmit electrical fields. The vast majority of dielectrics are <100x higher than vacuum permittivity, and they're very unsuitable to make a motor out of. Materials with high permittivity have fairly low breakdown voltages. Also, humans have very low breakdown voltages; high voltage motors are often dangerous to be around.

Fundamentally it's because materials lend themselves much better to magnetics.

Bootstrapping a Stable Computation Token
Perhaps a question of mere semantics but why use the word 'fold' when it means times? Is it just to sound more "sophisticated"?
Just go back 10% after computing 2C and the result is exact. If you don't want to deal with non-integers, round to the nearest integer when taking 10%. The final result will be the exact result rounded to the nearest integer.

Example: 22℃ -> 44 - 4 + 32 -> 72℉. (Exact is 71.6℉)

Example: 23℃ -> 46 - 5 + 32 -> 73℉. (Exact is 73.2℉)

I've seen people do the going back 10% before the doubling. That's fine if you are not going to round. If you are going to round, take off the 10% after the doubling or you could end up off by up to 1℉ for the final rounded amount.

For example, 26℃ with rounding after -> 52 - 5 + 32 = 79℉ (78.8℉ exact). With rounding before it goes -> (26 - 3) + 32 = 78℉.
No dude. He was fully accountable. MJ was a ruthless business negotiatior. He bought the Beatles catalog out from under Paul McCartney’s nose after Paul had given him the idea. He negotiated the most lucrative contract of all time with Thriller. Michael Jackson was absolutely 100% mentally “all there” and fully accountable for his actions. Just because he was a terrible drug addict who molested kids while high as hell does not mean he was innocent, or “not guilty by reason of insanity.” Unless you think drunk drivers should be able to plead “temporary insanity from substance abuse,” there is no insanity defense for Michael Jackson.

Zero insane people have the ability to negotiate contracts like MJ did. Michael was a ruthless and canny businessman and anyone who thinks he was “insane” is not familiar with the absolutely fiendish and dark level of planning he put into his rape career. The dude had silent alarms outside his bedroom. That shows a level of foresight and planning that would get an insanity defense thrown out of court instantly.

in short Michael was guilty as hell and if you watch the documentary I bet you a million dollars you will renounce your “MJ truthing. “
What a wierd header to use for this story. What about "Jeffrey Epstein: Suspected child trafficker 'found dead in cell' in New York"
You’re right, it wasn’t impressive so I double checked. It’s 6414 kWh (3596 kWh in southern Sweden) for heating and hot water production without geothermal, only by air heat reuse. It’s a two story house at 164m2 which is three times as large as an average apartment.

My point is the insulation is the cheapest way of lowering heating (and chilling) costs.

Also, lots of mining, logging and manufacturing jobs up north.

So just let all the inmates out into the streets, not because they do absolutely nothing, but because they aren't perfect according to your standards. A stop the world rewrite, HN style, right?

Have you ever seen documentaries of prisons in South American countries?

Peru has some truly apocalyptic examples of prisons that are just walled yards with dilapidated shelters and no guards. Well, maybe a maximum of watch towers manned with snipers...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvu575hiOOc

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peruvian_prison_massacres

In these prisons they just drop raw ingredients for food that the gates to the yard, and transfer them to the inmates' possession. On occasion there are incidents that require communication or the transfer of individuals, and they treat it like handling hostages.

So, it's not like your suggestion isn't in use. Consider the shape it takes, when directly applied to real world scenarios.

Project fi caps the bill at some number.
The problem lies in what question does it answer:

* Does it exist (true) or not (false)?

* Does it have a defined value (true) or not (false)?

* Is it non-zero (true) or not non-zero (false)?

* Does it have non-zero length (true) or not non-zero length (false)?

I think using zero as a magic number is less consistent than not using any magic numbers at all. If you want to check the length, or whether something equals zero, just check for that, not for whether it's "truthy".

The suicide narrative is perfectly reasonable. The fact that he was on suicide watch already is what raises questions of corruption and coverups.
I am not a lawyer, but @klasfeldreports on twitter quotes an unnamed legal source who says:

"Background: An important note after Epstein's death: no one else will have standing to challenge the search warrant on his house. Everything will be admissible against any other defendant without possibility of a motion to suppress."

So maybe this will be a net good for justice?

If he was suicided, it was very well done, and a message sent to everyone who is involved. The message is "if you betray us, we will find and kill you even while you are on suicide watch in jail".

Epstein just didn't seem like a guy who would have a guilty conscience and decide he couldn't handle all any more.

I looked a bit into his case, mainly prompted by articles like these:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20576530

There made the point of connecting Brin to Epstein and other SV tech people, but then Clinton didn't show up to his dinner party once. Hmm. It seems to me like there is a deeper connection to the Clintons since they are going out of their way to distance his from Epstein with such awkward articles.

I guess, maybe those who feel brave enough should see if the prison warden or one of the guards on duty ends up getting some scholarships or trust funds for their children. Or one of them suddenly pays off a large chunk of their mortgage.
outside of the C and assembly languages
It may be a good idea to watch out for cops and guards from that prison suddenly 'buying businesses', making other large and successful investments, receiving expensive gifts and/or gaining large amounts of wealth. My current theory is that Epstein had a bounty on his head and was killed by a cop or guard, it's often case that prison 'suicides' are in fact covers for police brutality gone too far, so I think this is the most likely scenario.

Electric motors don't stall like an ICE, they produce much of their torque even at 0 rpm and usually operate over a wider rpm range.

A Tesla for instance has an electric motor that goes up to 18,000 rpm with a roughly 10:1 reduction gearbox for 0-155mph speed range without shifting any gears.

What’s being reported, given the context of their proclamation about nuclear powered missiles a while back, I think it’s a reasonable supposition in the absence of further information that they had something go very wrong with a static fire of a nuclear ramjet - probably not a nuclear detonation, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they a) had a supercritical moment and b) sprayed the reactor guts over a substantial area.
