I didn’t realize until recently that supermassives and classic black holes are formed differently.

It’s also fun to remember that this event happened 26,000 years ago.
I see it as more akin to the first paragraph of the HN rules:

Impressive, how long did it take a single developer to make something like this?
You aren’t forced to upgrade, you just won’t get support from Microsoft. The support lifecycle for every Microsoft product is here:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/hub/4095338/microsoft-li...

If you need to run software for longer than it is supported then you need to either need to negotiate a longer support contract, or be willing to live without support. I don’t think there is anything unreasonable about that.
Wooo! That's great to hear :)
They're not like either. If anything they're like a phone book for URLs instead of phone numbers.
If a black hole is of brightness 0 (by definition), then 75 times that is still 0. They are probably referring to something happening just outside the event horizon and thus something that is not actually the black hole and just a phenomenon caused by the black hole.
Good luck guys! Any attempt to better this abhorrent mess gets my biased upvote.
So what are you arguing if not that examine isn't the best supplement site?
You can say that about anything. If things are "properly" disposed of, they go in the landfill. Decomposition isn't an issue, because stuff doesn't really decompose that much in landfills: they've dug up old landfills and found newspapers perfectly intact from the early 20th century. The main problem with plastic bags is what happens when they aren't disposed of properly. Paper bag litter will decompose fairly quickly, but plastic bags don't. The corn starch ones are a lot better, and have been around for decades now, so I'm not sure why those aren't required everywhere that still uses plastic bags, because they would ameliorate the problem significantly.
The delay is editable, you can set it to 3000 if you want.
How would you feel if random people on HN repeatedly insisted your former employer was primarily a porn site, despite these people having no real evidence, and despite this going against years of your personal experience scaling and capacity-planning the site?

Do you actually believe these numbers from SimilarWeb and Statista claiming Tumblr has more MAUs than Twitter and Snapchat combined, even after banning adult content (which you claim was a majority of Tumblr's usage)? Does that even remotely make any sense at all?

You're outright accusing me of lying here. I find this insulting and do not wish to continue this discussion. Goodbye.

The official name of Taiwan is the Republic of China. That government used to control all of China. Then there was a communist revolution and the ROC government fled to Taiwan, still claiming to be the rightful government of China, merely having been forced to make a tactical retreat. This is still the official position of the ROC government, even if no one really believes that the ROC will one day return and reconquer the mainland. Now to be fair, Taiwan probably would have simply declared independence and given up on the mainland but for fear that this would lead to a PRC invasion.

The government even really acts officially as if it is the government of all of China sometimes, such as its support of the PRC in certain maritime claims. The ROC claims certain islands are "part of China" even though they would fall under the physical control of the PRC and thus don't really concern Taiwan.

Surprised? This is the same company that not long ago was waging a mafia-style Linux patent war against open source verndors. Microsoft only got into the open source game because they had no choice. How long, I wonder, before ASP.Net Core is "optimised" for deployment on Azure even if it can be run on Linux?
This line is a gem:

So, safe and open - as long all speech and action is completely controlled by the company.

PS - Google's corporate political line and that of most of its employees, from what it looks like, seems to have been aligned with the corporate/right-wing of the Democratic party, i.e. right of center even of US public opinion.

The 6502 can only address 64K, so I'd assume 32K of ROM at 8000-FFFF with 128 (not 100) bytes of RAM mapped at both 80-FF (zero page) and 180-1FF (for the stack) and 128 MMIO bytes at 00-7F. It depends on how much they've modified the base 6502 design, though; the above is for "not at all".

It doesn't have to be a feeling. It's been well documented that the Chinese government has a group of people that it employs to spread pro-Chinese propaganda and downvoted perceived threatening speech on social web sites around the world.

HN has been a target of this brigade for years.
On my iPhone I find everything up to maybe 0.6 seconds to be just fine. Part of this may be being used to using SSH over VERY poor network connections.

I think the biggest frustration with latency is not the latency itself, but rather when latency is combined with the possibility that what you entered didn't register at all and the time pressure of having only 15 seconds of signal to submit your command - situations that often occur when using Internet based sessions in the wild.

The other source of annoyance is trying to "not crash the system". Often when a system presents high latency like this, I tend to consciously pay attention to how many "buffered" inputs I'm sending for fear of crashing something, and that self-throttling can get tiring.
Me too, so sick of these governments (another example is US): http://www.nbcnews.com/id/45340184/ns/us_news-life/t/police-...

> With 50 developers you likely take more advantage of microservice architecture so each team can be decoupled and move faster.

Microservices aren't magic. There still has to be a contract between the services. Microservices are best when they are something which need to be scaled independently of the rest of the system.
Banks are special because they can deposit money with the central bank. The central bank won't disappear, and like most money it's just numbers in a database (nothing "backing" them) so there's no risk associated with these deposits.

But in the EU, the deposit rate set by the ECB is -0.40%. So that would explain why EU banks would be willing to buy negative yielding bonds instead to hold in reserve, as long as the yields on those are less negative.

But then the yield on German bunds is actually even lower, hitting -0.60% recently, so it's not just that.
I don't see how the Nazi's were right-wing, seems pretty clear based on their excessively centralized government that they were more left-wing than not.
Mr Middleton sat next to me during the Ethereum launch at the TNAB in Miami in 2014. He was very excited about all the possibilities Bitcoin and cryptocurrency would usher in. His pet project then was a platform to allow kids in Africa buy and sell shares reflecting the US stock market. The idea was to globalize investing by tokenizing shares. Very innocent beginnings and dreams of a better, more financially enabled world. This report sounds like a lot changed since.
Which HP? There are two now.

I think it's because they think "individualism" means "I do whatever I want and take whatever I want with no consequences, and I'm a better person because I do those things." Which I don't consider individualistic at all, it's more that they just want to be thoughtless assholes about everything and not worry about social or economic consequences for it.

It's similar to how capitalism can get recontextualized into something meaningless and shitty by Objectivists. When capitalism works, it can almost seem magical, because it's basically a greedy algorithm that can often produce a net good for most of the population, based on individuals looking out for their own interests. Hence notions like "greed is good" or "selfishness is a virtue". But the whole point of those notions is, they're built on an assumption that those things lead to a net good for everyone involved. To the degree that capitalism works, it's because it allows wealth to be created, which is a net good for everyone.

The purpose of capitalism as the core of a civilization is wealth creation, where people exchange things they don't want in return for things they do want. All participants in the transaction are better off than before in their eyes, but nothing new has been created. Money and goods and services have simply changed hands. Everyone's better off than they were before, but no new goods have been created, and no new money has been printed. It's like creating something from nothing. If any argument can be made in favor of selfishness being a virtue, this is it- it's a virtue because in this context it supposedly leads to a better world for everyone, not just individuals.

But I've known plenty of right wingers who claim to draw inspiration from libertarianism, or who claim to have a special understanding and reverence for capitalism because they're Objectivists. And yet, they never talk about wealth creation. To them, selfishness is a virtue simply because that's the world they want to live in. These are the temporarily frustrated millionaires living in compounds in Wyoming, mooching off the government while complaining about urban welfare recipients. They think Objectivism or libertarianism or their religion gives them cover to go around thinking that greed and selfishness are actually good things, without ever embracing or even understanding the foundations of those beliefs- that they're only good things in the context of maximally efficient and rational markets, and only because they supposedly lead to wealth creation (everyone getting richer in some sense, not just individuals getting rich at the expense of other individuals). But they're not in it for the wealth creation- to them, capitalism isn't good because it creates wealth, rather capitalism must be good because they think it means it's OK for them to be selfish assholes.

Is America Finally Ready for a Surveillance-Free Smartphone?
>Is there a giant swirling mass of paper bags in the Pacific Ocean?

I'm quite sure there's no giant swirling mass of plastic bags in the Pacific Ocean.

Sure, there's a huge amount of plastic pollution there in gyres, but it's not from people using plastic bags at the grocery store in middle America. It's from stuff like shipping containers blown overboard, and various other trash that has gotten into waterways.

Your other points are sound I think, but not this one. If you want to complain about the gyres, then you need to take aim at ALL plastics and discuss banning them ALL. That'll basically set our technology back to the early 1900s or so.
Even if there were no external matter in the vicinity of a black hole, its brightness would still not be zero thanks to Hawking radiation.

IMO it's not that clear-cut. A VM is safer than a webpage which is safer than an nacl-plugin, which in turn is safer than an UAP app. But in the end you risk privilege escalation for everything which isn't airgapped.

In such an integrated design 6502 can address exactly as much as you want/need it to.

Just implement bank switching for top 32 kB of address space.
256 banks (= one 8-bit register) * 32 kB = 8 MB. Need more? Add another bank switch register and you got up to 2 GB.
Thanks for the Harper article, I really enjoyed that.
Hydro power is not green. It may be clean, by some definitions of clean, but it has a huge ecological footprint.

The impact is harder to quantify than with other forms of power and is ignored due to that.

Now, I'm not advocating against all hydro power, I think it's especially important in a pumped storage/peaking capacity.

The projects definitely need to be analyzed on a cost/benefit analysis and as this points out, 3.5MW of power is just trivial and not worth it.

As an aside, there are a number of dam removal videos on YouTube which are fun to watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yM5m5-1-I0

I dislike Trump at least as much as any typical liberal, but what exactly did Obama do about plastic bags when he was in office? Even when Democrats are in power, we still don't get a lot of progressive legislation. The comparatively weak nature of the US Federal government doesn't help either. (But to be fair, the first comment in this discussion pointed out that Pakistan's policy is a municipal one in the capital city only, not nationwide.)

No, you're right. The literal translation is "land of no one". I maintain that "empty land" is a fair translation of the term though.
Are they getting informed or misinformed? I can easily find 1000 articles and documentaries that "prove" 9/11 was either a hoax or an inside job. Many of them are well written and tell a compelling story if you have never heard the counter evidence.

Interested in the reality of climate change? You could end up at polar opposite conclusions with plenty of support for your position depending where you search (and what your own personality steers towards believing).
Yup. Zoning areas as non-residential, forbidding construction of residences, is a tool that is regularly used. Another is to saddle zoning permission with infrastructure costs, such as "you cannot further develop this town until a road is run to it". Health codes also work (must have proper water/sewage disposal etc). The government cannot stop people from walking on their own land, but it can certainly stop them from building anything on that land.

Much of the live-off-the-land lifestyle is already illegal. Contrary to the TV shows, one cannot just hunt anything they want when they get hungry. They need tags. Animals can only be hunted during specific seasons. And there are weapons limitations. These are normal regulations that make living a wild lifestyle, a legal one, very very difficult.

Gents, we are the ones misreading Hong Kong.

China is now flexing muscles to show the US and the rest of the free world what they can do: they can destroy one of the richest areas in the world without a sweat, and they brutalise a group of young people who dare protest democracy, with impunity.

Showing military trucks and toys moving around the country, right in the middle of a dispute with the us and knowingly violating a treaty with the UK is China staring the free world in the eye and challenging their power and unity.

China can do anything and get away with it. This needs a strong response from the free world, which includes the EU.

Unlike the US tho the EU is more interested in selling German cars to China than protecting the freedom of those people and freedom generally speaking. It shows division and impotence on its part and the literally non existent power.

I just wish I could do something about it but i just can't and it feels like shit.
OP is hypothesizing that an event happened on earth which emitted something traveling at the speed of light[0], traveled some distance, then interacted with some object which emitted something else[1] which traveled back to be observed on Earth. Hence, double the distance between Earth and the black hole, because it's traveling twice.

I'm not sure exactly what OP is implying though.

[0] light, radiation, information, etc.

[1] ie, reflected, or caused some reaction
There won't be any radiation from a supermassive black hole, or a stellar mass black hole. The bigger a black hole is, the colder it is, and any black hole bigger than a thimble is colder than the Cosmic Microwave Background. Its brightness isn't technically zero, but it's still darker than the background, and it's absorbing heat (and getting slightly bigger) rather than giving it off.
A LUT can be 10 gates and it can be 100+ gates. You just can't compare FPGA LUTs to gates like that.

FPGAs have things like block RAMs and multipliers. Those require a ton of gates, but don't increase required FPGA LUT count by much.
I'm not sure what you mean by "alt-right..." Usually that means something specific (For a good summary see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHXL00wY3nY). Among the people who have written about how the National Socialists were socialists is Jonah Goldberg (see https://www.amazon.com/Liberal-Fascism-American-Mussolini-Po...), whom you might not like, but is not alt-right, in that he disagrees with the alt-right on almost everything.
Isn't that the official position of the Taiwanese government, though - that they are the only legitimate government of all of China and the current administration of the PRC are not legitimate?

I understand that there's a diversity of opinion among the people of Taiwan (and some mixed messages from the government itself) regarding the issue, but it doesn't seem unbelievable that someone might think that the people of Taiwan share a belief in their country's official policy.

Is there something I'm missing?

I don't have a good calculator, but step 1 is to make sure you BUY the panels, and not rent them or fall into any kind of weird plans where you resell some energy for free panels or whatever.

So your ROI is pretty much calculated with:
How much do the panels cost (installed)
How long do they last, whats expected maintenance, etc
How much energy are they expected to produce
Whats your electricity bill.

From there its pretty simple math. The hardest part is how much energy they are expected to produce, and no online calculator will help figuring out how much sun hits your roof.

Whether or not it is absorbing radiation faster than it is emitting is not relevant to whether or not it is emitting at all. Black holes are pretty dang black but they are not "0 by definition".
