Call me naive, but I would simply conclude the jailing facilities are underfunded and unable to prevent someone from committing suicide.

I just can't imagine someone being able to order such a murder. There would be too many people involved and risks of getting caught.

Accusing the author of using "122 fold" instead of "times 122" to sound smart with a comment containing the phrase "a question of mere semantics" just might be peak HN.
Aye, could be. Just checked my manual and they're in KPa and Bar.
The old "Assault Weapons Ban" grandfathered in existing guns. Since AR-15s and similar rifles are so much more common now its possible that re-instating the ban wouldn't help as much without also implementing a gun buyback. That could in turn be very expensive.

Not necessarily insurmountable, but potentially a significant obstacle.

America has vast and currently unimpeachable rights to weaponry. There is a huge swath of policy space between that and banning gun ownership. We can reduce gun ownership, trafficking and weapon deadliness a thousand different ways while not adversely impacting legitimate usage. Universal background checks, limiting purchase frequency, banning 100-round barrels, increasing liability for dealers.

A nuclear propulsion rocket isn't actually a very useful thing, as it spews out way too much radiation to be acceptably used in peacetime. And for war, well, several countries already have enough nuclear-tipped warheads spread around the world to end it, so additional delivery mechanisms aren't really needed.
We don't have to take anyone's guns. Even if we made some currently legal weapons illegal, just grandfather current ones and let attrition weed them out. I'll accept a solution that takes 30 years over nothing.
Your comment was dead. I vouched for it, because I think the point you're making is a valid one.

I'll just note that you come across very combative. HN is intended to be an environment of thoughtful and substantive discussion. I would recommend that you peruse the guidelines[0] for discussion.

Some specific feedback on what I interpret as combative, and what I expect led to the killing downvotes:

The first paragraph is very dismissive and responds to your assumption of the intent of the parent, rather than something they said. I would suggest a clarifying question to understand what shape they expect their suggestion to take, rather than assume a strawman.

The second paragraph is disparaging and suggests that you consider the parent to be ignorant.

The Model 3 doesn't have an official time at the Nürburgring (for as far as that being an actual thing). It was the fastest EV around Laguna Seca last december: https://www.carscoops.com/2018/12/tesla-model-3-performance-...

Really...yes. I’ve thought about this some after doing a lot of them. The room is themed, but in most cases clues are A to B. You’re solving a puzzle to open something else.

If you make extra puzzles that fit the theme of the room you can just change the path to what opens the next thing.

Some puzzles are obviously fixed in place, based on the room design but a lot of them could be swapped out depending on the room. You’d just have to make sure to say that if a specific puzzle was included, the proper clues were there.
Given that a standard ICE vehicle clutch will usually make over 150k miles before needing replacement, I can't see any reason to think that this will be 'inelegant' - it would appear to boost performance nearly everywhere, and they will not be 'constantly wearing down as [you] drive' - they'll be electronically controlled as part of the transmission and optimally maintained as a result.

While I agree the simplicity of a single speed no-clutch electric drivetrain is appealing, I don't think that should preclude using different systems if this means optimum performance overall.
Agreed. This seems like one of the most obvious conclusions of research of all time. Why so you need to research an elephant? A simple visit to a local animal shelter would have probably sufficed.

Oops, you've accidentally presented hard facts criticizing Tesla in a tech forum and have been summarily downvoted!

Tesla's ludicrous launch is a party trick. It produces a number to prop up a marketing blurb. "Fastest production car ever!" Tesla has been doing the same sort of thing with "Safest car ever!" to the point that NHTSA recently sent Tesla a cease-and-desist letter over misleading statements about the Model 3′s safety rating.

The devil really is in the details though. A properly engineered drivetrain will be able to sustain its launches over several back-to-back activations. This is precisely what the Porsche team has accomplished. The machines they ship will hit a number, and then they will hit that number again, and again, and again, and again. And that won't fade. It won't destroy the battery. It won't get nerfed with an over-the-air update a couple of months after hitting the market.

This is what automotive engineering excellence looks like, and it's great to finally see it in an electric vehicle.

I went to one here in Boulder, and that was enough for me. Couldn't really control my suspension of belief (like say, a good movie with a silly, but engaging plot) to get into to it, and each puzzle just felt like work. You kinda hope for say, Myst, but in real life, but felt more like a weekly Martin Gardnir, but just scattered about a room, and I had to pay $35 to solve it. My mind literally went to chores I'd rather be doing instead being where I was. All the props just felt like someone went to a thrift store. I should've drank considerably more before participating - the same feeling you get at like, a funeral for someone you dont really know.

If you check where Firefox was 10 years ago to where it's now you can see the trend. It still continues. In the last year, Firefox lost more than 10% of its market share. A component of this is probably Firefox not being able to capture growth of the entire market, but the trend also holds for the absolute number of users: 890 million YAUs in Jul 2018 vs 809 YAUs in Jul 2019. In the long term view, Firefox is dying.

0 does not indicate absence of value. Think of temperature - 0 is a valid temperature and is actually not equal to 0 when converted to Fahrenheit. It becomes incorrect to check presence of temperature by just relying on Boolean coercion, you have to check for not-None(in python) explicitly.

Generally the more special values, that are treated as false, you have in a language - the more complex and confusing your programs become. Just my opinion.
Well, in our shop [no longer open, was a micro-business] someone comes in for a refund, but doesn't have the receipt, there's no way to process a refund except to open the safe and get the receipt because you need to refund the same card and you don't know the card without keeping some record of it.

We've had transactions that failed to upload but were processed normally on the [mobile] card terminal, and we had to give the merchant services details to complete the processing of the transaction. Sometimes a transaction would fail during processing [cardholder not present (CNP), via phone] but we wouldn't realise until the phone was down, so in some cases we contacted the customer (our business required contact details, it couldn't run without them; this was pre-GDPR anyway). Other times the bank network would be out, so we'd be unable to process transactions without keeping customer data (temporarily).

>as most smallish customers can't or don't want to handle full PCI DSS compliance //

The banks were real bastards for this. Despite providing us mobile card terminals that don't connect to local network they required us to pay for PCI compliance audits of local equipment or pay a penalty amount [you could audit it yourself, took me about 8 hours of reading documentation to establish the protocol as they apparently didn't want us to do it but wanted us to pay instead]. The PCI stuff was basically a hidden-cost scam AFAICT.

I’m convinced base 12 would be far superior to base 10. It has four common factors: 6, 4, 3 and 2, rather than just one. This would make handling common whole number fractions in place value form much easier. It’s also easy to count to 12 on one hand - just point to your finger bones with your thumb. That way with two hands you can count all the way up to 24 (in base 10 equivalent).

That's definitely true too, given that the exhaust of most kinds of liquid rocket fuel isn't toxic at all. Hydrolox releases water, and methalox and kerolox releases water and carbon dioxide. (And that's all of the commonly used liquid fuels.)

Note that rocket engines do not completely combust their fuels, far from it. So a lot of that highly toxic solid fuel in its uncombusted form is still gonna be in the exhaust.
sure... all of them.

"Fold" is not archaic, but it may be more common in some regions compared to others (see "pop" vs. "soda"). The "-fold" suffix is in Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary and it does NOT have an "archaic" marking. It's also one of the answers when you ask Google to "define fold" (you have to look lower because suffixes are sorted after the main word).

I use the suffix myself; it's nice and short when you need to express the concept.
> This is not a fork. The code base will be identical, the developers working on that codebase will be the same. The vast majority of the code would be identical.

The Fascinating Company That Tears Cars Apart to Find Out How They're Built
For me, I think it’s pretty close for the numbers that are right on, and multiplying is way easier for intermediate numbers.

50->80 is one beat in my brain, it’s basically immediate because I know the first many Fibonacci numbers.

But multiplying by 1.6 is only two beats, it’s “add a half” and then “add a tenth”, each of which come just as automatically as recalling a two Fibonacci numbers. 50->75->80.

For the in-between numbers, 1.6 seems way easier. 40->60->64 is much quicker for me than averaging 50 and 80.
Kevin Lynch notes as much in "The Image of the City", his book about urban form:

> Paths proved to be the dominant element [of orientation] in terms of quantity [...] The single exception was the shift in attention from paths and edges to landmarks, which was noted in Los Angeles. This was an striking change for an automobile-oriented city, but it may perhaps have been due to the lack of differentiation in the gridiron streets.

Magellan and the world's first circumnavigation, 500 years ago
Alert fatigue is a thing true. But these are people living within a mile a launch site that's designed and sited to protect not just Alaska, but a good chunk of the lower 48. Missiles wouldn't necessarily be targeted at the fort.

The chain of logic is straight forward if you accept the premise that it makes sense for the site to be in an alert state for all North Korean missile launches.
A lot of people talking about how hard it would be for him to kill himself and conspiracy stuff, but if there is a conspiracy then I think it's just as likely that Epstein could use his immense resources and connections to make sure that someone was looking the other way when he attempted.

It certainly could be a murder, but I'm not quite as convinced as other people seem... I'm sure it's very convenient for lots of his ghoulish friends, but it also makes a lot of sense that he would do anything necessary to get out of facing his crimes and the surrounding media circus.

While the author and I both agree that having safe neighbourhood traffic is good for local residents, it's an unfortunate property that only the rich have resources to do something about it.
This conversation would go so much smoother if we used the actual descriptive term for "alt-right" and "far right": fascism.

However conflicting it may sound, arguments against freedom of speech and freedom of expression cannot be supported in an economic of free speech / expression. This is not actually a dilemma, because fascist politics are incompatible with these freedoms; one cannot exist when the other is the norm.

And just like in any culture and community, the best way to counter fascism is not incarceration and bans but heavy investment in high quality education, on the one hand, and heavy communal shaming and stigmatization of fascist politics and policies, on the other hand.
