A flat isn't strictly a shared space though. It's a space your landlord owns completely and is renting out to you. HN is technically pg's/YC's but it's clearly been setup to be a reasonably fair facsimile of democracy, with a few obvious differences (people with more karma = more power) but upvotes and downvotes are definitely a democratic process here.
What you need is a material with very high ultimate tensile strength. Carbon nanotubes might do it. Let's check.

To compute the burst pressure of a pipe, we can use Barlow's formula:

P_max = S * T /R

where T is wall thickness, R is radius of the outside of the pipe, and S is ultimate tensile strength. Here T=R is the limit where the inside radius is zero. So the best case is

P_max = S/1.0000001

Carbon nanotubes are the highest strength material, with a theoretical S=100 megabar. So not possible, sadly.
Even not so large bikes, like say 600cc.

I did some calculations once to relate sportbike performance to cars. People usually think about performance in terms of peak power on paper, which is not where you are most of the time on the street.

I estimated that if you are riding a 600cc bike at roughly car-like rpms, then the power to weight ratio is comparable to a car with a 3.5L V-6. But if you are using the upper range, then it's more comparable to a Ferrari.

With a literbike, if you are at car-like rpms, the power to weight is like a street car with a fairly large V-8, but if you are using it at high speeds, then it's comparable to a F1 car.

Some of the pages that are exploited do use POST though. If it accepts authorization through a cookie and doesn't require an XSRF token or JSON content type, it is probably vulnerable.

But yes in general making actions happen in response to a GET request is generally a bad idea, since these are often cached and considered "safe" to retry.
It took Huib years of Investigative journalism to find this out. The official stance of the agency is that this didn't happen. And the state was trying to sue him for publishing his work https://www.volkskrant.nl/nieuws-achtergrond/aivd-doet-aangi...
That's a funny example considering an input validation routine for credit cards should automatically throw out any input consisting of more than numerals and spaces. You don't need to test for Unicode or emoji when there are only 11 possibly valid characters in the input.
Well yeah, you would have to. Might as well use initv then. That's the point. At least then you can debug and not have a black box you can't really see into. It is horrid design. Hacker News is getting worse, same thing horrid design . Horrid design is caused by the goals and abilities of the designer clashing with the goals and abilities of the user, and when designers are selfish and want ALL the control the product if useful to less and less people over time. Happens a lot because often the design goal is a hidden desire to wall off functionality to reserve it's usefulness to a select group deemed worthy.
Perhaps it would be possible to contain materials at such high pressures inside other materials like carbon nanotubes or diamonoid structures?
The frame can be correct, but inefficient as a mental model.

High-level languages may be "just" a way to run the right assembly code...but I still prefer them over assembler.
I've quit reddit multiple times over getting to heated in arguments
This isn't directly related to the article, but I've noticed lots of Stack Overflow answers now contain outdated information in the highest voted answer.

I wonder if moving to a velocity based ranking system (like HN and Reddit) instead of pure sorting by net votes would help with that. That way answers with more velocity (attracted more upvotes recently) would be ranked higher.

I enjoy CLI photo management and have a few scripts of my own. Looked over the docs of this project but not entirely clear on why I would use this when most cameras are mounted as a disk already.

Is remote camera control the main use case now? Are there other use cases?

An Intro to Gradient Descent for Kotlin Programmers: An Open Learning Exercise
Imo even if it is manageable debt, that doesn’t make the problem just disappear. My own student debt is long paid off. It was only $25K - not exactly chump change but only a fraction of the more egregious examples I’ve seen.

Honestly, college provided some decent experiences but did it make me a better human or teach me something significant enough to justify that debt? No. There were maybe 3 or 4 key classes in my four year program that had anything really relevant to my career. Most of it was stuff I would forget after a couple semesters and never apply anywhere.

In hindsight, college is an institutional shackle. It’s a right of passage we force on kids, and employers require it when it shouldn’t be necessary. My $25K feel less like an investment an education and more like a bribe I had to pay before anyone would hire me.
It doesn't matter — it is so obviously wrong to discriminate based on country of origin that I can't even believe we're having this discussion.

>Here's a simple proof. A Western black person speaking Malay fluently would not get the attention or celebrity that Mat gets. That proves that it is about worshipping white skin.

Well, doesn't that presuppose what it tries to prove? How do we know that a "western black person speaking Malay fluently would not get the attention or celebrity that Mat gets"? Part of the story is that it came from a viral hit, which are flukes, and so not necessarily representative...

Second, even if so, couldn't it also be because a black person is not as much associated with the West to Malays (since the West's own cultural industry/history has traditionally been showcasing whites as its main representatives) -- as opposed to some "worshipping of white skin" in itself?
The code has been analysed and it is well known how it worked and what it does. How can it not be called an attack?
> If I eat 4,000 calories of olive oil, will I metabolize every last bit of it without waste? Obviously not.

And if you were 200 meters tall or 5000 years old, the TDEE equations also wouldn't apply to you correctly. Most calorie counting studies are done with intake of "normal" foods, not just pure olive oil. In those circumstances, for the most part, calorie counting works well enough for you to lose weight. Yes, the TDEE equations aren't perfect (and neither are nutritional information labels) but they're all within enough of an error margin for you to be able to comfortably lose a kilo every 2 weeks without breaking a sweat.

It is also true that you should tailor your diet not just for weight loss but also for general health (so cutting calories isn't enough, you should also change your eating habits) -- but weight loss is (for the most part, and the vast majority of people) just a matter of TDEE and counting calories.

> After to failing to lose much weight on a low fat diet I had resounding success on a low carb diet, and I can say without a doubt I consumed far more calories on the low carb diet.

Did you measure the changes in your fat weight? Low-carb diets can cause additional weight loss, which is not actually fat loss because some carbs are stored elsewhere in your body[1,2]. Now, that doesn't mean you didn't lose more weight. It just means that you didn't lose more fat. Whether or not that matters to you is a different question.

> Doesn't make it good for the site or it's users. It's a very poor excuse.

Excuse for what? SO has the UI instruction that you /should/, as a user who agreed to follow the rules, downvote low effort questions which show no research. Agreeing to follow the site rules, then not following the site rules and deciding it should be run the way you want it to be run instead, isn't good for the site either.

> Are you a high-rank SO user?

I've never thought so, but looking at the data[1] everyone with >500 rep is in the top 5%, so by that standard, yes.

> Also, what I stated is not a "rant" it's an empirical observation.

No, it's not. Saying that people "should be held accountable" for their downvotes on an internet site is not "provable by means of experiment", it's "people I disagree with should be punished". Calling people "snarky asses" is not experimental, it's subjective interpretation. Describing downvoting as lacking empathy, on a site where downvotes are intended to describe the question not the author, is subjective interpretation.

From what I understand this is required to create the pressure, but a sufficiently strong material may be able to maintain the pressure, although I may be incorrect.

So Stuxnet just randomly self-assembled on the Internet, to attack very specific air-gapped industrial controllers?
You didn't contradict the person you responded to, if you consider "calorie counting is a myth" to mean that calorie counting doesn't help you lose weight.
In the mean time, this is a good alternative which I've used: https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts

But no, they won't add them, because God forbid they actually do something useful. It's obviously more important they add five different skin tones... still don't understand what was wrong with generic yellow. Not everything has to be politicized.
Yeah you can number everything as 1. In markdown and it will work, but if you want the source to also be readable, which is the point of markdown, the numbers should match.
I mentally substituted HN for SO when reading these comments.

I see a similar pathology here, though far less extreme. I read HN both for the links and the commentary. Over the past couple of years I've noticed an increase in downvotes appearing to be used as "I disagree" which is a shame. I've disagreed with commentators whose comments have made me think, or even change my mind.

Downvotes also get used on trivial or off topic comments, which seems what they are intended for. And I hardly consider it any sort of cesspool of social pathology (as seemed be be described in the recent article about HN moderating). But downvote use does seem to be trending the wrong way IMO.

The result, of course, would be as described by the OP: self-deporting.
That sounds like its been magnetized, which is easy to have happen and cheap to repair. You can DIY with a tool from eBay or amazon.

One of the big problems with mechanicals in this day and age is the prevalence of rare earth magnets in all sorts of places, e.g. the iPad has 11 of them, as do many bags. It’s quite easy to accidentally magnetize your watch, and amagnetic movements are still uncommon. (Omega, new ETA, some Rolex).
I confess I read the article after my comment and saw that.

I was just talking about standard ssh behavior.

I wouldn’t use that without seriously studying it end to end. As another comment said, “seems kind of hacky”.
"The Bugattis and Aston Martins alike are engineered to lap tracks or do speed runs over and over again in comfort and luxury without any reduction in acceleration or braking performance"

Well, I don't doubt they are more capable than a Tesla, but I don't think any ultra-high performance car can sustain high speeds indefinitely. The Bugatti Veyron has tires that last for about 15 minutes at top speed, but then again, the fuel will run out in 12.

It also seems like you see supercars on fire a lot, also hinting that they are not that durable when you push them.
You've crossed into spamming with these links. Please stop.
How many snacks do you keep around the house? I find that if I buy them, I'll eat them. So I just don't buy them, instead buying vegetables instead.
I find it hard to understand what this site is about for someone who hasn't read the HN submission title.
My suspicion for anyone losing this much weight this fast is that a big chunk is water weight. With a big change in diet there’s a good chance that the body will quickly find a new equilibrium with the amount of fluid cells will retain, especially since both salt and glucose are necessary for osmotic pressure in cells.

I also suspect sudden weight loss from diet change can partially be attributed to mass within the colon. If you have 5 lb of dense food packed in your digestive system, and suddenly eat nothing but high fiber low calorie foods. You’re going to easily shed a couple pounds in the next day or two.

If we assume half of the weight loss was not directly calorie related, a 1400 calorie deficit could easily be 1 american meal a day. Not totally out of the realm of possibility.
I'd never read about this flight before. Thanks for the share. Tragic about the loss of life.
There is a key difference between being used in actual races and being built for the racetrack. Lots of rich people want cars built for the racetrack, without actually racing them.

The word for "road car exactly like a race car" is "homologated". It's done in some racing series, basically forcing manufacturers to build 200 copies of the car, making it road legal, and putting at least some of those on the market.
Running circles: How I spent half a day fixing something that was perfectly fine
I would love if this kind of thing existed, because I have many unfinished projects I would like someone to finish for me.

However for now I can't even drag myself to fill the form, because I have absolutely zero hope of getting someone interested in working on my things.

Classic chicken-and-egg.
Yes, it's possible but it requires a thick jacket. the formula for a thin-shell cylindrical pressure vessel is \sigma = rp/t, where sigma is tensile strength of the material, p is pressure, r is radius, and t is wall thickness. For thick-shell jackets, the formula is slightly more complicated [1] but you get the idea.

For Kevlar, max \sigma is 3.6GPa. So it's possible to maintain an internal pressure of 200GPa (2MBar), but the wall thickness must be much larger than the inside radius.

Different energy sources metabolize differently, so energy in, energy out is technically correct, but not very useful in real life. Additionally, as others have mentioned, there are other factors which affect how the energy in is handled or metabolized besides just the pure energy you consume.
>There's a term for that, it is called beg-packing. It is not irrelevant as it has been suggested in the comments that Mat was originally a beg packer.

I mean not relevant as in "there are tons of beg packers and hardly any raise to any fame with local populations".

I've been in Malaysia several times and in the general area. It's not like there's any work shipping of whites, much less white beg packers, going on, waiting for someone to speak the language to ignite...

>* Thank you for clarifying. I'm using the term worshipping perhaps to oversimplify "feeling validated when a white person gives attention/time".*

Well, that I agree could play part. Tho that's the same often happens in white places, e.g. in my Eastern / Southern European land, western validation is often celebrated -- so I wouldn't say it's tied to skin color.
Any time a meteor or whatever goes anywhere near Russia, there's dashcam footage of it. If there are UFOs, they're avoiding Russia.
The basic problem is that downvotes attract downvotes.

On a tangent, I find it interesting how many people who came up during such a period of profound change as the computing revolution, still have problems with other changes.
Oh, that thing. It was a lemon. A cool looking lemon, but a lemon.[1]

There are three videos:

#1: Classified SECRET. It hasn't flown yet, but it's going to be really great. See this cool mockup!

#2: Classified OFFICIAL USE ONLY. It flies! Well, hovers about 1m off the ground in ground effect. Wobbles too much. But with our elaborate testing program, a NASA wind tunnel, and maybe with more powerful engines and active stabilization, it can work!

#3: UNCLASSIFIED. Well, here we are flying this thing around the back lot at NASA Ames as a hovercraft. Not too useful, but cool looking.

It's a nice video history of a failed project.

Meantime, the Army was also funding the UH-1, the "Huey" helicopter, which started flying around the same time and was far more useful. So the Army killed off the disc project and ordered a few thousand Hueys. The USAF, meanwhile, had figured out that swept back wings worked in high-speed flight, and didn't need to fool with discs.

I was offended on my own behalf. I grew up in a rural, Southern area where I only ever heard 'hick' used by outsiders as a slur against locals. Certainly I have also seen rural people "reclaim" the term, but that doesn't give outsiders the right to use it.

I also find the insinuation that I should have threatened violence patronizing and prejudiced. The parent comment also included an example of how I "should" talk to sound more "authentic". Textbook prejudice.
To elaborate of the commenter above, here's what I tried to try to get some information about this site:

* Looked at the top and bottom nav for a link to something like a blog or an about page.

* Searching for [2ndwind] brings up tons of athletics links.

* Tried visiting both /about and /blog to see if there was more content, just hidden.

The poster including more information about the site than is in the real <title> makes it seem like they know more. If you do: please summarize what this page is.
Please stop posting political and nationalistic flamebait to HN. It's not what this site is for, we ban accounts that do it, and we've had to ask you before.

Also, fiber makes you feel full, and slows down and improves digestion. So a high fiber diet would make it easier to eat less.

There are some important "carninutrients" that are in animal products, like vitamin B12 or taurine or carnitine. But you can find them in supplements and energy drinks.

But there's also a lot of downsides to meat. If you don't cook meat properly, you are at risk for salmonella or e coli, and other horrible pathogens. But if you do cook meat, there are all manner of carcinogenic chemicals that are formed, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, heterocyclic amines, and advanced glycation endproducts.

Meat also often contains antibiotics, natural and artificial estrogens, nitrosamines, and high densities of bioaccumulated pesticides.

And traditional corn-fed animal products contain an imbalanced ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids, and other possibly less-optimal levels of nutrients like CLA.
> We can observe that cells/DNA are programmed to adapt to local changes; we have no idea how they make sudden jumps for a more efficient design;

This totally misrepresents evolution. DNA isn’t programmed to adapt to local changes, but rather it’s not programmed to perfectly reproduce without errors. Some errors are useful and get passed on, most errors are either useless or harmful and don’t. And lots of small changes equals a large change — we don’t have to be able to leap a mountain in a single bound to reach the top, either literally or metaphorically, just make a lot of small steps.

Ya, looks like it got updated again and he doesn't have to make any changes.

It means there is some metadata you can't include in the output: the time it was built, the user who built it, the host and path where it was built. Sometimes that stuff is rather useful.
I think technology has a high potential for increasing accountability.

However, it's likely much larger superpowers i.e. US, China, etc. will take decades or centuries before being held accountable in this manner, which is honestly a little too tragic. I was thinking "we don't have this accountability in the States," when I realized we sorta do -- to an extent, this is Wikileaks and whistleblowers, except this is considered illegal. It's crazy to think at a high level that we have made "accountability" illegal and somehow this is just fine.
I have no need for this type of app, so can’t comment on the functionality, but I can say that the website leaves a very clean and polished impression.

Very well done.
What has the US done to promote freedom? Nothing.

In China? They've setup trade restrictions. No effects on freedom.

In the Middle East? They've helped bomb ISIS, but they're merely supporting local anti-ISIS militias (think YPG/FSA) who do the real work/fight.

Worth noting: just like CIA armed then chased Ben Laden, US military intervention in Syria armed many many religious conservative militias in 2011, because they were afraid of an anti-imperialist, anti-capitalist insurrection (which was and still is happening in Rojava). Many of these reactionary militias have since then joined ISIS.

Also worth noting: the US are a big supporter of Erdogan's Turkey, one of the most genocidal regimes in the region, and a key supplier to ISIS. Way more dangerous than the conservative republic of Iran, to any neutral observer.

So yeah, try to "deal with" your own country. There's plenty to fix on your side without pretending to worry about other people.

Same goes for my people (the french) who keep destroying/colonizing other countries (Libya, Mali, Guyane..) pretending they care about the population.

Truth is as much of a tyrant Qaddafi was, his violent overthrow by NATO directly caused the return of slavery for millions of black people in Libya. That's what happens when you bring guns to someone else's table to "deal with" their problems you have no idea/interest about.
I wouldn't say everything was all fine with the yellow smiley face. It's was somewhat associated with rave culture. I had a teacher in the early 90's that hated the smiley face, because he connected it with ecstasy.

The necessary pressure isn't that important. Obviously using this material under those conditions in the real world won't be realistic.

However, what this shows is that superconductivity is possible at those temperatures, and that pressure is a factor to further investigate when experimenting with other candidate materials.
Absolutely. So now that we've established the possibility, the question is, why exactly is it infeasible to use our existing means to identify spammers. And what do we have to do make it feasible?
