In my opinion, if such a culture- and time-dependent phenomenon is interesting, it is still worth studying. If this dependence is obvious, researchers should simply not claim that the phenomenon is generalizable.

The replication crisis has provoked many discussions on similar issues among psychologists, i.e. some dinosaurs question the value of direct replication studies and prefer conceptual replications (see for example this paper by Simons https://www3.nd.edu/~ghaeffel/Value.pdf).
I believe that direct replication is the only way to verify the credibility of scientific discoveries, and certainly most new generation psychological researchers agree on this.
I envy and truly admire people who suffer such adversity and who live good lives. I don't know if its because they usually never knew any different so can't compare, or if they just have an innate mental strength I do not. After losing my health and life I've had an extremely hard time accepting such a huge reduction in QOL that just seems to get worse and really wish I had their ability/outlook.
That must be it.

I rarely use walking directions due to the awful accuracy of GPS between buildings. AR walking directions are fantastic.

Mount Kailash and the Walk Around the Sacred Mountain [video]
I've done a fair amount of work with GPS and precise positioning, and I'm aware of all the dynamics of earth, orbit, and electron path that are involved. I've never before seen a claim of 1cm being some kind of physical limit on position.

There are both short and long-term motions of the earth. All are sufficiently measured and modeled such that repeatable measurements are very much achievable well below 1 cm.

In fact, it is GPS that is used to develop the models of earth movement. So I don't quite get what you are saying.
> In the future (some would say near future), all of the cloud services will be offered as kubernetes APIs (via a set of domain specific CRD)

If (big if) some standardized variant of kubernetes "wins."

K8s was transparently Google's strategic shot at forcibly commodifying AWS.

But everyone has their own agenda. Google, Microsoft, and (to a lesser extent) Amazon could survive in a world of fully commodified compute. Give their compute assets are essentially surpluses from running their other businesses (advertising, software sales, and online retail).

So none of them have a strategic imperative to derail k8 evolution.

But managed, specialized cloud services are lucrative to all of them (especially Amazon). So their best-case isn't a fully commodified future.
I never really understood this comparison. 99% of owners will never see the track. So why do we care so much about track performance?
Wall Street expects infinite growth from all companies, otherwise the CEO's will be fired. You can grow if you can grow your user base, your usage per user, prices or any combination of this OR you can grow if you expand your portfolio of things you sell. To expand the portfolio the easiest way for a mammoth turtle like IBM (and many others) is to purchase companies that have products. It has nothing to do with IBM or Red Hat, it is all driven by Wall Street expectations.
Do US railway crossings not have clear markings and raisable barriers? I find it hard to have sympathy for people who drive across railway crossing without actually looking at the road while driving a dangerous vehicle like a car.
Nitpick - I make it closer to 1 hours electricity but I agree it's way too low from a fixing global warming point of view. The figure 2,850GWh by 2040 works out about 280 Wh a head if you guess a 10bn population. For comparison a Tesla Powerwall is 13.5 kWh. Something like 100x that storage would be good if we are running on renewables.

With something like the nantenergy battery they are already talking $100/kWh and have cheap materials so it would seem quite plausible to get down to say $25/kWh by 2040 meaning you could get 40kWh for $1000 or so which I think may be a better target.

I agree, My point here is that I see the acquisition as a result of the market shift that is happening due to the introduction of Kubernetes. And in this case, it was the result of openshift.

Note that once you use containers, you decouple your infra tools from the app dev tool.
I'm always impressed by those who follow their more creative side. Best of luck to you in your endeavors.
Wonder if this could be about nuclear powered torpedos, rather than airborne missiles. Not sure how certain they are on the latter part. We know that there are hypersonic torpedos under development, and an intercontinental nuclear powered drone torpedo seems like it could be an effective weapon.
I mean it's not so bad. If we meet aliens there is a decent chance that they will have a base-9 counting system in balanced ternary: so their digits would be -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4. Rather than prefixing negatives with a minute sign, maybe negation would flip a number top-to-bottom.

This is just armchair analysis, but my perception from easily Googleable sources on mining & resource companies for battery tech is that it doesn’t actually look like a good investment for casual investors.

The lithium market seems crazy and susceptible to high volatility from Chinese stockpiles. Meanwhile, battery technologies, even at the high end, are becoming rapidly commoditized and experiencing price wars, meaning new investment even into state of the art battery tech probably isn’t exposed to a lot of upside because all the consumer markets it can feed into will have consumers expecting the highest quality at bargain basement prices.

The exceptions will likely be highly industry-specific and involve complex military or enterprise consumers with special needs, and I doubt casual investors will have access to information necessary to reliably speculate about those opportunities.
And here I was going to post this as the obvious solution that gets you in the thick of it while allowing an escape back to the top. In the context of the post it didn't feel lazy. :(

Yes, I was in London last week and had the same issue with the tube exits. The tall buildings also make block level GPS pretty useless. I hope this is as good as it sounds
same here, and I will repeat csallen's solution: going to the gym and lifting heavy things (squat/deadlifts/etc with good form and comfortable pace) has turned my decades long back pain around completely.

It took about 6 months to really be sure it had improved, but it's been amazing, plus there have been significant cognitive benefits. Couple the gym with less sitting, and more standing -- couldnt be happier, wish I had done it earlier.
Thanks for the submission. This looks quite interesting by showing the benefits of parallel execution in a single connection compared to versions before 10.
> and you will absolutely not be left without any pain meds

Based on what I've learned, over-the-counter pain medication, such as Tylenol and Advil, is most effective for pain. It's also cheaper, doesn't require a prescription, and isn't addictive. You should consult with a doctor for high doses and long-term usage.

When I had opioids after surgery, I could not concentrate. Specifically, I could not concentrate to read for pleasure, or do the kind of reading needed for our profession. Everything came back as soon the last dose wore off. Since then, even with minor dental surgery, a few high doses of Advil work much better than Valium. (The Valium just leaves me hung over the next day.

> Why would you design levels which makes it impossible to play in this style, if some people prefer it?

Whatever design decisions are made, there's always tradeoffs. If they really wanted to double-down on a particular style of gameplay they'll want to design everything in the game around that.
I think there are different counters that will resonate for different people:

You can oppose banning/weakening encryption because you believe encryption is an irreplaceable tool for security.

You can oppose banning encryption because you believe that would actually be an ineffective tactic for preventing crime.

You can oppose banning encryption because you believe such bans violate inherent civil liberties.

There's another one that's really hard for me to explain -- You can oppose banning encryption because you've read Shannon or have a general sense of how RC4 worked and it feels just gross to ban basic operations, like shuffling information in a particular way. It's a bit like banning addition, or like banning pig latin.

I hear rebuttals and debates around the first three, but I don't think there's an effective rebuttal to the last one, which is just a paradigm shift. It's like, "I don't support this because I do not understand information the way you do."

Maybe we should print copies of "A Mathematical Theory of Communication" and leave them in hotel rooms, like the Gideons do with Bibles.

> Are they for punishment or rehabilitation?

Neither. They are for sequestration. They are a place to put people that society just doesn't want to deal with. Punishment is just a side-effect. This is the reason we put people awaiting trial in the same facilities as people who have been convicted of crimes.

Rehabilitation is not even on the radar.

This won't help anyone who has lost the use of their hands, but I have some advice for touch typists who use a standard keyboard like a laptop or typical desktop keyboard: don't bend your wrists.

Of course most people know about the ergonomic advice to have your keyboard at the right height so your wrists don't have to bend up or down. But I often see people typing with a horizontal bend in their wrists so that their hands are pointing straight forward as they type, like this crude sketch:

| | | | | |
| | | | | |
+---+ +---+
/ / \ \
/ / \ \
/ / \ \

If you do that, try this instead: don't bend your wrists to make your hands straight. Relax your wrists and let your hands be at the same angle as your arms:

/ / / \ \ \
/ / / \ \ \
+---+ +---+
/ / \ \
/ / \ \
/ / \ \

Your fingers will still be able to find the keys, but it may take some getting used to if you've been using the "bent wrist" position. Once you get the hang of it, this may reduce the stress on your wrists.

I've been typing on standard keyboards nearly every day for about 50 years without any significant problems. I tried using the "bent wrist" position as a quick experiment and it was really uncomfortable. So while I can't say for sure that it will help everyone, I'm pretty sure the "straight wrist" position has helped me.
> You can't have [a backdoor] both [ways]

Agreed. In another post I said the same thing. That's why I'm against backdoors. If the cops want to access someone's account just because, well they can make sweet luuurve to themselves with an pineapple.

If that person has done murdered a handful of people I want the cops to get access, strictly permitted by a legal, independent entity that people can feel they can trust, as far as is possible. I'm trying to get a conversation going as to how that can be done, if even possible. It's not going well!

There are actually quite a few well-developed IC's specifically intended for this application. They act both as buck converters for the output device, BMS for the lithium cell / cells, and a charge controller for the cells.

Something Just Smacked Jupiter and Here's the Photo to Prove It
I'd think about all this from slightly different perspective.

Humanity evolution is clearly follows the trajectory with well known "strong points" (in math sense) Slaveholding, Feudalism, Capitalism, Socialism, Communism, …

Point (in math sense) has no dimensions so you cannot say "we are exactly at Capitalism now" but rather somewhere on that trajectory between strong points. Closer to Capitalism, closer to Socialism are the right terms I think.

It is obvious that, let's say, Europe now is somewhere in between of Capitalism and Socialism. And in 1900 it was around pure Capitalism point, in some countries between Feudalism and Capitalism.

And "Robots economy" will move us closer to Communism where 95% of population will not participate in goods/services production activities. So that will be that famous "... to each according to his needs" [1]

I was at the last CCC congress, and actually this was also debated there (i.e. what topics the CCC should cover, and how/whether that has changed). Actually some people said that it has become too diverse now. Some also claimed that it has become too political, but if you look back to the roots, it actually was always political. In any case, I think you cannot say that technical topics became too short. It just became bigger, and there is more of everything.
> That's presumably why such stories never come with links

No, I didn't include a link because I was posting from my phone, and "hacker" "news" doesn't include a sane way to search through thread history for specific comments. I'm glad someone else went through the trouble.

But hey, you're free to continue to not assume good faith, right?
I believe most like playing intelligently. The goal of the level design shouldn’t be to make the intelligent move less rewarding, but to make the boring move less intelligent. So I kind of disagree with the offered solutions. A more modern set of solutions might be threats pursuing from the rear that make backtracking riskier than pushing forward, mobility or offensive options that favor aggressive moves over defensive moves, or (and perhaps I may only dream) non Euclidean level design such that moving backwards is actually a different area.

Situational awareness in competitive FPS is very impressive. I want to know what it looks like in non Euclidean space where assumptions about positioning get an order of magnitude more difficult.
Not sure why this is downvoted, as that's exactly what the commenter's point was.
> The GP didn't give 'advice' so much as they said "your medical records? ha, right... you're crazy." And then proceeded to shut down all avenues to further care and pain management.

That's a patient's perspective, but how about a doctor's perspective? You've got a patient refusing treatment for what could very well be a psychosomatic condition and instead demanding opiods that are very likely to result in addiction.

There is a large stigma around mental health, but there's no such thing as a person who's completely sane. Just because a doctor is saying you might have a psychosomatic condition is not the same as him saying you're deranged.
The reason for this is Porsche's 0-60/0-62 times are intended to be reproduced in less than ideal conditions, and with great repeat-ability

For example, 105F/40C air temps on a concrete surface (low-friction) with some amount of sand. Or 15F/-10C on a concrete surface.

And you can do that back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back... for an hour (with say 50 standing starts), non-stop. You'll see little variation in the result, and the car won't throw up its hands and say the party's over until it takes a rest.

That's a a big difference from the Model S which doesn't allow launch control unless the batteries are in a specific temperature window (which is about 20C wide), in which it must prep (warm up or cool down) before it's ready go, or to go again. A prep that is usually measured in minutes, unless you happened to already be in that window.

The Model 3s thermal management and cooling system is a huge step up from the Model S and Y, but Porsche (especially as you step further up a model line into the high end stuff) is probably THE brand known to go out on a track and stay out there longer than nearly any other brand before it needs to come in and cool down a bit. They're rather notorious for still under engineering and overbuilding their powertrains and braking systems, and a lot of tech trickling down from their motorsport efforts.
If you had a motor like that you wouldn't need batteries. You'd power the car with the motor :)
maybe not in this case, but from a history of machining, motors have made quiet and remarkable strides. original cone lathes for metalworking were driven by steam engines and a PTO driveshaft. aside from being ridiculously dangerous to operate, they had inconsistent results for tight tolerances. It wasnt unheard of for watchmakers to also find themselves as lathemakers in the early 20th century. Motor speed from PTO was largely not variable.

During WWII motor speed was controlled with a clutch and transmission system, which arguably allowed for the type of finesse and control you need to run a shaper for a large tank engine, or a mill for certain explosives of the nuclear persuasion. older machinists handbooks will still reference your 'gear' when making a cut as a feed rate suggestion. old shapers still have a gearbox and shifter.

along comes the VSM and its a game changer. The variable motor speed can control RPM maximum down to almost zero RPM. In the early 20th century, this simply was not possible. Previously if you wanted to change speed you had to park/reset the lathe and dial your tolerances back in. The way around gear speed change time was to intentionally oversize the part and take it to an automatic filer, but this wears down files and is only an option for certain manufacturers that care about the end product more than the tool wear (WWII again)

> 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

Can you explain this a bit more for those of us who know almost nothing about missiles/nuclear weapons. If I'm understanding the Project Pluto wikipedia correctly a ramjet isn't able to fire from a standstill and a nuclear ramjet would require both initial forward motion and then a nuclear detonation (not sure if that's the right word, perhaps just "reaction").

So I guess my question is, how would they safely static fire these types of missiles for testing purposes? Assuming Russia's project uses a similar setup to Project Pluto and has conventional rocket boosters to get the missile to ramjet speed is that what they'd be static firing - the boosters? And if they're testing the boosters attached to the nuclear ramjet without allowing the ramjet's reactor to go critical what would have to go wrong with the static fire that would result in radiation?

More specifically I was interested to see that the version of Dragon for scripting isn't available any longer. However this might be something where Mozilla's recent efforts with speech recognition could help and as a bonus the project is open-source and adaptable.

https://github.com/mozilla/DeepSpeech

The WER they've achieved is already good for general recognition and through experimenting with narrowed domains / language models it can be made extremely accurate. For anyone interested, there's a walkthrough I did of steps needed to set up a narrow domain LM on their forum below with a video showing it working. I'm guessing that a programming scenario would be somewhere in between: it would be a fairly defined range of words but that list would be quite a bit broader than the example I show.
