I imagine OPs point was that someone was arrested for stealing trade secrets that could save/improve lives of (hundreds of) millions of people.

Just the other day in another part of HN there was a discussion about the collecting and continued use the HeLa cell line for research and (a lot of) profit. If you look this up the conclusion of every discussion tends to be "end justify the means in this case", "the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few", etc. One has to wonder about the double standard here.
"Text" is a useless specification when building a program that produces data that other programs consume, or consumes data that other programs produce. There is nothing actionable in knowing that you have text to work on other that you can presumably discount the appearance of nulls in it.
His theory is that the ambitious workers prevail, not that two groups will continue to compete.

I would assume the bank may have provided her with more specific information than it was some NASA network, including the date. Furthermore, the person making the complaint pretty much knew who it was (and that person subsequently admitted it). This isn't about tracking down a random person at NASA.
Are you also familiar with The Men from the Ministry ? Written by Edward Taylor and John Graham.

For some reason, it also made a successful radio show in South Africa, Finland and Sweden. The latter two are translations (but set in UK like the original). Taylor wrote new episodes for Finland even after the show was discontinued in UK.
> If you can't even do THAT, then sorry, all your valuable experience is way less useful than someone like Martin Fowler, because I'm not learning anything from you.

There is a small gap in this reasoning: that something is written down and sounds like a good idea doesn't make it a good idea. If you select on "people who have successfully written books about software architecture," you're in no way guaranteed to select for actual good ideas. It's quite possible none of the advice works.

That said, your broader point is taken, and I'll think about how to write things up about actual design lessons I've learned in practice, so still thank you for calling this out.
If you can afford it, Salesforce is the best. Beyond that, I'm not familiar with any worth using.
> I'm quite concerned about NASA's warning that 5G will weaken our ability to forecast the weather

NASA issued no such warning.

5G would interfere with one satellite-based moisture measure around populated areas. NOAA’s commentary was around how that one measure would need to be statistically tweaked or supplemented. (The headlines resulted from NOAA’s head warning the Congress that if the latter didn’t give him funding for these tweaks, our forecasts would become dramatically worse.)

Hurricanes, moreover, build over oceans. AT&T can’t keep a call in my Manhattan apartment; it’s going to be a while before 5G signals are making it to the middle of the Atlantic.
I left my corporate job for personal reasons largely unrelated to the job per se. I certainly had my criticisms of the company, but probably needed to leave regardless.

So while you try to gather information, keep in mind that "not a good fit" could be a polite way of saying "It's none of your business and kindly butt the hell out of my private life, thank you."

Not everything that happens around you is about "you"/the company. That's not how life works.
IIRC the install process of NixOS is pretty similar, at least for the non-GUI ISOs. `pacstrap` becomes `nixos-install` and `genfstab` becomes `nixos-generate-config`.

I think it was the goons that had a lovely little sketch of the 100 metres standing still race. The gun fires and they stand straight up, then it's all done as a stop motion thing.
Yes, and Lidsky's argument works even if one assumes arbitrarily good plasma performance. He was not basing his argument on magnetic field strength or beta limits, or even any particular device geometry. Assume 100T magnetic fields and beta=1; his argument still applies.

What may be confusing you is that very low power density designs, like ITER, may be even worse than Lidsky's bound. So they could be improved somewhat by better magnets or plasma physics tricks. But once Lidsky's bound is reached, further improvements of that sort are no help.

You can hear some particularly wild assertions like this in the long running commercial throughout the past few episodes of Malcolm Gladwell's Revisionist History podcast. They are formatted as conversation between Gladwell and an AT&T exec.

It always starts with "what are some things that might be enabled if bandwidth improved and latency decreased" and then just jumps immediately to some Internet of Things utopia.
You can't make a law that orders people to care about each other. From an outside view it looks a lot like the erosion of a previously high-trust society. Possibly caused by middle-class economic woes. Those who want to build a family and are not rich have been gutted by various dynamics.
I remember struggling with my first non-trivial CRUD web app using no web framework, just libs, it had to have a CLI frontend too, his PresentationDomainDataLayering[1] really helped me in refactoring the spaghetti code I had. Probably obvious to many experienced devs but it was enlightening to me.

You're overthinking this; when I say what Big Evil Tech Company I work at, 9/10 times they say "Oh that's neat I bet working there is really fun", and the remaining 1/10 time is "Oh what do you think about Cambridge Analytica"
If they are such a snowflake that they can’t handle a homosexual relationship then that’s their problem. In today’s society, outside of a few regressive companies, most employees know that they would just have to get over it.

On the other hand, if someone asked me what I did on the weekend, I wouldn’t mention that I took part in (hypothetically) “Black Lives Matter” (highly political) or even was walking down the street proselytizing and trying to convince people to make God the head of their lives (highly religious) or that I was in the woods running around with Confederate flags trying to relive the glory of the Civil War (trust me, won’t ever happen.)

Of course you’re not looking at generated assembly anymore because that is the business value of a compiler. The biggest difference now is that you’re probably not as big an expert in the enterprise topic as you were about generating assembly.

Um... Yes they are. The Galaxy S10 5G has a mmW radio in it that’s transmits mmW waves for the uplink.
The 5G spec also requires certain protection when the UE (phone) Tx wave might go through tissue. But you’re correct that it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to attempt to Tx/Rx on a beam pointed at your head since it will lead to drastically lower SNR
The free market 'economy' answer to this is that if she can't afford to rent a house or flat, she's not needed.

Absurd? Of course. If that were true, then there would be no supermarkets or corner shops or petrol stations or chicken shops or.... etc, in the entirety of London, a city of 10 million.

Because no-one wants them right, there's no demand, the workers aren't needed. Hang on...
Julia is extremely focused on data science and scientific computing. Most of everyone using it is concerned about things like ML libraries, dataframes, matrices, etc. it’s not that Julia couldn’t be a good general purpose language, it’s just that it’s not the focus. Compare that to the JVM for example, which is mostly focused on servers serving requests.

Also, it’s pretty clear from the existing Julia libraries and homepage that serving requests isn’t what’s important to them.
Show HN: Gavatar – Web app to generate avatars for GitHub
>However, we can agree that, generally speaking, people don't like to move.

I don't think that's the problem.

I think most people who are capable of packing up and moving for better job opportunities will take the chance. The problem is people who are struggling to pay rent can't afford to move. They especially can't afford to move across a state, or worse, to different states. This problem is compacted by the fact that most of these desperate people, like the woman in the article, are making money below a living wage and would likely be moving to a job that pays the same or less.

What struggling people like to do has zero meaning here. The problem is what they can do. They're not Berkeley grads who get to make a half dozen phone app startups, get millions in investments, blow it all on downtown SF office space and beer fountains and write a top blog post on HN about their journey and learning from their failures. They're people working day and night to live in a run down shack that has electrified water and costs a thousand fuckin bucks a month.

Something is very wrong with rent in America. Prices aren't correlated to value or demand anymore. People say rent control measures are bad because they discourage further development, but we already have a problem where those who can refuse to build new homes. Those who already own homes and rent them out prefer to leave them empty and to rot than to accept the fact that their shithole isn't worth what they think it is and rent should drop. They know that eventually someone desperate enough will be swindled and forced to pay their absurd prices, only to be kicked out onto the streets because they can't afford the ridiculous price and maybe some other desperate sucker will take their place eventually.

Sure, maybe people could move to far rural communities where rent is cheaper. While their rent may be cheaper, they may also have zero income due to lack of employment. Farms are being consolidated into megaoperations and the number of necessary staff drops. Getting into a city to work is unreasonable since commutes can take hours, and that's not to mention having to do shopping/cooking/whatever with whatever time isn't left.

I feel like we're reaching a point where we need to offer two options: landlords can offer their properties are a price that average people in that region can afford, or the government can seize unused properties in order to solve the homeless crisis. People will say that nobody will want to build new apartments in a world where that's true, but that's already our problem. Laws are made to punish the homeless in America and it's clearly not working. Punish those who cause homelessness and something is going to change.
Ask HN: Why paying won't fix ad tracking?
Even paying for a product or service corporations will show adds, track and profile users if it's available to them.bThe argument is always that doing so they can offer users a discount.

Why is it so hard to stop ad tracking and behavioral profiling?
My wife works at a public library. It's not the books that are the problem, but the disgusting patrons certainly are.

We have had a marked uptick in homeless using the library as a de facto daily shelter. They sleep in the chairs, make disgusting messes (I won't go into further details), break the computers and the 3D printer, and generally liven up the place with all the attendant police interaction usually involving public drunkenness. There is "shot glass man" who likes to print out shotglasses on the 3D printer, he's clever. And there's the guy who dried his socks out on the radiator after a rain storm.

It's not just the homeless that are problematic, the public in general is full of misanthropes who get banned for various acts of public indecency or harassment of employees.

There is also a contigent of "mobile homeless" as we refer to them, people who live out of their vehicles. There is a guy with a beat up camper, one with an old Volvo with two kayaks inexplicably attached to the roof and the whole car filled with, I would guess, items stolen from local garages. Another vagabond operates a rusty old Dodge with its characteristic plastic roof box containing all his or her world possessions. We play "junk car bingo" and often just drive by the library to see who is camping there this week. The kayak car is parked there nearly 100% of the time but moves around to different spots, so it is not abandoned.

These are the people in our neighborhood.

Recently, our small city has had an outbreak of Hepatitis. Coincidence? You decide.

With regard to the books themselves, they get nasty treatment from patrons. Everything from food, gum, puke, and feces can be detected and some books just get thrown out when shelvers inspect them. The shelves themselves are a superfund site: Patrons will leave food, cups, gum, and so on all over the library and they don't dust there much, so I imagine that dust to be mostly dead skin of the homeless.

So anyhow, public libraries probably are disease vectors, but not necessarily the books?
I think it's just shyness/awkwardness. Wendell from L1T used to look the same back when he was part of the TekSyndicate channel. Eventually he sharpened up his appearance and his on-camera demeanor.
>Of course the absurdity of it is that the film's biggest target for ridicule was the left wing of British politics at the time. It barely touched actual Christianity.

I wouldn't say that. The main plot of the film is a regular guy accidentally becoming the head of a major religion, despite his protests and his exasperation, all the way to being crucified like Jesus.

The Judean People's Front stuff is at most a B-plot.
Spider Silk has a tensile strength of 1.3GPa, at a density of 1.3g/cm^3 [0]. This translates to 1300 kg/m3, or a specific strength around 1,000,000.

So short answer is probably “maybe?”, based on the equations here [1], however there are other mitigating considerations, everything from how would you mass produce it, to the fact it can constrict up to 50% when wet. Hopefully those are just engineering problems.

If you watch the 1979 "debate" with those two old fops, ou find that most or all of the current BBC article is sourced from that show.

Coincidentally, youtube suggested it to me last night, and I watched it. That Archbishop of whatever was generally lying when responding to Cleese's (very commonly held) points about how nobody tells you we don't know who wrote the Gospels, or even in what city, and that there's quite a bit of argument about when they were written. And even more about the common content, and why it's in different orders in each gospel (except John, which is really different, and Jesus is 40 years old at the time of the crucifixion).
It was as if the two old fops hadn't even watched the movie in question. I'm surprised Palin and Cleese didn't just tear into them. Maybe I'm just used to folks live-tweeting events like that nowadays.
No the FCC made rules favoring the public's access to telecom services over NIMBYs. This has happened years ago for ham service.

Provided you've some relationship with this person / they feel free to speak I would try to get them to speak in a more open ended manner about the job and their experience.

Personally I find when folks ask me specific questions about my job ... we don't have a common language and I have no idea what they really mean by what they're asking.

Also be open to the idea that this was just bound to happen and it is nobody's fault. Some jobs just aren't for some people depending on any number of factors.
It's not the name of the commands that bother me; it's literally everything else from the operators, the sigils, to how functions are defined.

There is no excuse to make a new language that re-invents nearly every basic syntactic principle or borrows from the worst examples (bash, perl).

Although the naming isn't great either; the use of namespace prefixes rather than a flat namespace of long names might have been a better (and more logical) choice. It would have even allowed for better auto-complete.
> Propylene glycol has been used in asthma inhalers

Do you have evidence for that claim? Because as an asthmatic, I've never encountered an inhaler that contained PG. Apparently it can be used in nebulisers, but unlike inhalers and e-cigs, a nebuliser isn't being used every day.
W.r.t. polyandry, yes, you're right. I was thinking polygyny. My mistake.

In terms of polyandry, I meant the non-sex specific, general defects still hold. Certainly, polyandry specifically inflicts a defective relationship on the males, but given the asymmetrical responsibilities between the sexes, the result would likewise be detrimental to women. (Of course, where the latter point is concerned, it is the same with polygyny vis-a-vis men. It's not as if a man is honoring his nature by being a polygamist. It is to his detriment as well.)
The evidence is out there. If you look at successful libraries and applications, they almost always gave well-defined design and architecture guidelines. In fact, I can’t think of a good software library out there that doesn’t have a solid design and architecture. On the other hand, I often see big piles of mud that have to be re-written over (and over), because people believe architecture takes too long or they believe it’s unnecessarily complex.
Great question as I'm trying to make that decision myself. I love Lisp in general and the JVM is great and ubiquitous, so Clojure seems good. The reality is that every time I try to learn it, I get stuck learning leinegen, Emacs...etc, which is more than I have to deal with when using Python, so I skip it. Also, it seems like you get a .jar file and have to run it in conjunction with something like "Java -jar clojurefile.clj". I know that isn't too bad, but once I installed F#, I just put the compiler "fsc.exe" and the REPL/interpreter "fsi.exe" in my path and it is pretty simple now. I normally have an fsi window open for testing and write my full code in Notepad++ and then feed that to fsc.exe when I'm done and I get a little executable that is ~5kb. As long as a coworker has the .net runtime on their computer I can give that to them no problem. I'm sure Clojure can do something similar, but as I'm not a Java/JVM person I have no clue how.
> China has a righteous claim on HK

Why exactly? Modern China itself was formed from wars of imperial conquest. That these conquests by force happened long ago doesn't make them any “more righteous” than the British conquest of HK over 100 years ago.

By your logic, Germany had a “righteous claim” on Austria, Hungary, and at least parts of Poland in the late 1930s.
That has not been my observation from my environment or from the data over the last couple decades.

Usually what happens, is in order to keep the asset value high they'll sit on vacancies for as long as they possibly can to avoid having to recognize a lower value on the property, until it becomes advantageous to do so as a write down after they're done leveraging themselves based on the inflated asset price.
I feel that you've created a boundary where anybody positing any specific answer to those questions, such as the one in the quote that lost you, you would dismiss as hopelessly slanted. Everything with an opinion will be slanted towards that opinion. I feel anything saying that the causes are murky, and the means of solving them a mystery; that's what you'll read as unbiased.
I think for many of them, though not all, a secret they would never admit is that they don't really know whether they believe or not. And some simply do not believe, but would not want to admit that because it would be embarrassing given all they have said in the past. And I think these people very much want to believe, so they resent anything that tries to tug them away from delusion. But they still cry at funerals.
Here’s information from NHS on how long some viruses can live outside the body: https://www.nhs.uk/common-health-questions/infections/how-lo..., I think this indicates that (1) yes, viruses can, in principle, be transmitted through books, (2) time window for this is rather small, and (3) probability of infection is further reduced since we usually just handle the book and not, e.g. lick pages (so there might be greater probability for young children’s books). Altogether, looks like the danger level is on par with interacting with the regular outside world, e.g. door handles, staircase railings.

Conceivably, however, books could be a suitable attack vector for deliberate contamination with toxic substances and bacteria pores.

Famous literary example is the poisoned copy of Aristotle’s Second Poetics in the Name of the Rose (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Name_of_the_Rose)
This is remind me of when Trump gave a statement about 5G. He said something like "Right now we have 5G, which is great. Soon we will have 6G which will be even better."
Everything I've heard about it indicates that it's a trash technology. Unless you're standing next to an emitter, it's no faster than 4G and potentially even slower. Like you walk one block or behind a wall and it's not good anymore. So you gotta put one of these up on every block. I'm banking on it being a complete dud, like 3D televisions.
