its still early in the story, but so far no promise that the scope of the surveillance devices will remain at fire detection.

There is a big push regarding homeless camps as they are destructive and cause public hazard i have a very strong feeling that the camera deployment will be surveiling forests and surrounding hills for ANY thermal signature creating a de-facto surveillance of areas that seem autonomous.

One thing I can't stand on SO are the people who ask low effort questions, get upvotes and high quality answers, and don't reciprocate. They say "thanks" as a comment and disappear without upvoting or accepting any of the answers.
I’ve always wondered what’s going to happen when CBP finds out I have no social media accounts. You can’t find me on Facebook, nor follow me on Twitter, I’m not Linked In, etc. I am a citizen so I think they will just have to be unhappy about it. But I imagine that before things get to that point there will be a lot of threatening and posturing.
Wouldn’t that require a force push after each rebase, which could potentially cause headaches for team members working in the same branch?
I was trying to understand what kind of macrostates and microstates you were thinking of when you said entropy would decrease when the asteroids were closer. Maybe I should try to read one of those papers to see what they are about :-)

But you may not be looking at the whole picture. Just because a system occupies a smaller volume doesn’t mean the entropy is lower. In classical thermodynamics a gas can be compressed while keeping the entropy constant (at least in theory).

Edit: after a look at the first paper by Verlinde I still don’t know what are the microstates in this theory (they are related to string theory and intentionally left mostly undefined). But in any case your assumption that entropy decreases seems wrong by definition because an entropic force acts in the direction of increasing entropy.

Over the long haul, no it's not. They all have different levels of nutrients, vitamins, minerals, carbs, fats, and proteins. Please try eating 2000 calories of sugar a day and nothing else for a while and see how long it is before you puke your guts out.
I bought my Ayahuasca, magic mushrooms, truffles, fly agaric, and a whole plethora of other smartdrugs from a Dutch smartshop. All of these were legal back in the days (in The Netherlands indeed, but in ~2004-2007). Not sure about the legal status nowadays, apart from magic mushrooms being made illegal by Ab Klink. Growkits and truffles were also still sold in 2007.

Lately I've seen less abuse and I've even seen people corrected when they tried to abuse people who answered questions in good faith or similar.
Hey, thanks for liking the idea.

I unfortunately had a hiccup with https://wei.github.io/pull/#basic-setup which by default does a "hardreset" when it updates from the fork (CRA). I have now rectified this and you should see the repo updated with a proper readme.

It'd be great to get some feedback on the actual work I've done :)
> I corrected a wrong answer on a question in C++ once, which was immediately reverted with “nope, your answer is too different from the original, make a new answer”.

This is how Stack Overflow is designed to work. One single user is not supposed to be able to edit a top answer and change it into a different answer.

The Stack Overflow Way™ is to post a new answer that tells the correct answer and why the other answer is wrong. Then the community has two separate answers and they can vote on which one is more correct.

Confusing? Yes. Arcane? Yes. Did the system fail in this specific circumstance? Absolutely yes.

But they can't just let people edit highly voted answers into fundamentally different answers. That's why your edit was not approved.
Not the same thing, but this reminded me of forensic face drawing software like Identi-Kit. It's been many years since I experimented with such software, but I found it almost impossible to make a believable match to a known face. Working with a photo of Jennifer Aniston or Tom Cruise right beside me, I could not make a convincing match to either actor despite hours of effort with a guided UI. The tiniest shift in angles and proportions in a human face makes the difference between recognizable and unrecognizable.
The design analysis is great too :) Plus some pretty cool connections between Habby and BoomBit.. would've never imagined that
Yes, it is good. (I tend to only use it for sites that already use CSS; for those that don't, the default is almost always good enough.) Even on Hacker News, I use that to do two things: to make all comment text black, and to display dotted lines for the comment indentation to make it more easily to be seen the indentation level (it is implemented as simply a tiling background picture). (For more complicated web pages, I often need to add a lot more stuff to make it work reasonably.)

Well my point was actually just that because someone is on your friends list on facebook doesn't actually mean you had any interaction with them in the last decade or even remember who that is, let alone sympathize with anything they post to their timeline.

But to answer your question: How about just not adding everyone you meet at a party at 3 am to your Facebook while drunk? I don't see how this prevents you from meeting people IRL. People managed to get to know each other before social media just fine.

Bonus chatter: When I was almost done with college I had a new flat mate who just started his bachelor's and joined him once or twice when he went out. Usually during college time you don't care about or notice age that much. But suddenly I was surrounded by a bunch of 19 year old freshmen at a BBQ and everyone was constantly checking their phones and messaging people who weren't there. Suddenly an age gap of 6 years that was never an issue before made me feel like a freaking grandpa.
I think they should employ a "no stupid questions" policy, like the /r/nostupidquestions subreddit, where the point is to share knowledge without discriminating against anyone.

What happens if the same question gets asked 10,000 times? Absolutely nothing. Search engines will filter them for us. 5 more megabytes of text in SO's database. Pointless gatekeeping.
Yes, the truly lazy questions clutter up the site and I guess we need a way to cull them.

But on the other hand, I resent having to couch every question with 5x the verbiage as a disclaimer to chronicle every little thing I did to investigate the problem before asking the question.

I also enjoy being whined at by moderators if you call out someone who's being a dick. Don't bitch at the person doing YOUR job; bitch at the person who made it necessary.
Not OP, but the general logic behind "calories in = calories out" is obviously fine. However, just knowing this doesn't really tell you anything about the best way to go about decreasing "calories in" or increasing "calories out" in a way that will result in meaningful fat loss and improved health. For example, it is plausible that someone could reduce "calories in" by eating less and their body could make up the difference by reducing "calories out" via lower BMR instead of having "calories out" remain constant with the difference being made up by burning fat stores. Maybe some fat loss will occur initially at the expense of being more tired and hungry but this change eventually becomes unsustainable/unhealthy if they aren't eating the right foods.

On the flipside, you can increase calories out by exercising but you could end up starving and/or exhausted as your body tries to compensate for the increased activity, depending on what is going on in your body hormonally. Or you just have no energy to spare for exercise as it is right now, and have a very hard time getting in to an exercise routine. All this is to say that "calories in = calories out" is all fine, but these variables are not independent. Having some knowledge of how and when the human body burns fat and when it stores fat goes a long way in coming up with a strategy to lose weight. This is where these trends of low carb diets and (intermittent) fasting have originated from.

This was a nice read; git rerere is one of the git features that has been a tad mysterious for me, I thought it was on by default.

I’m pretty sure I’ve used it, probably because I read somewhere, just like this article says, that it should be turned on by default. What I didn’t know and wondered while reading is how to clear a rerere, and it looks like you can “git rerere [clear|forget]”. https://git-scm.com/docs/git-rerere I have resolved a conflict and then discovered later that I screwed it up, so needed to do it again.

This is great! Recognised a ton of the levels (have the 2016 one on switch).
I think the evidence was conclusive enough, but obtained in a way that made it inadmissible in any non-marsupial court.

So the US had two options: try and free known terrorists who now harbour even deeper hatred against the US after having been tortured, or keep them in legal limbo until they die. We know which one they picked.

I'm a big South Park fan, also loved that episode (and the original movie). It didn't cross my mind to use that specific thing to explain the project, but kinda makes sense! Grotesque but effective.
The problem, as I see it, with duplicates is it leaves questions with poor answers when better answers already exist for the same question.

For example I've recently been looking at a problem with /boot on the AskUbuntu SO site. There are multiple answers for the question of what to do when one has a lot of old kernels filling up your /boot (not the actual problem I had); one question is relatively well handled and has several "answers" including good answers (IMO). But other questions that aren't linked up to this particular one have some of the poorer answers, or lack the breadth of the canonical question page and so might lead people to do things that aren't optimal or leave them unable to boot their system.

The problem with that is that often questions fall in to a looser grouping where the same answers apply, or very nearly to a group of questions but the questions aren't really identical.

SO's current system is maybe a least worst approach? I'm not sure one can tell with out trying alternatives.

Show HN: Sweesh – An online coaching platform for startup founders
Hi, am Dennis Abari the founder of Sweesh Technologies . Sweesh (https://www.sweesh.us) is an online coaching platform where founders of companies receives one on one training from other CEOs and founders in the world who are the coaches. Anyone can become a coach.

The coaching takes place in meeting rooms. This training comes in the form of live interactive video meeting sessions, they can also dial-in to meeting by calling a meeting room phone number.
So founders connect with their coach, give them updates about their company, their challenges and obstacles, and they receive leadership trainings, feedbacks and reviews on their startup on how to raise their own successful companies.
There are also free public video meeting rooms for any who want to run a video meeting session or run an online conference. Each meeting room can accommodate 200 participants.
Would welcome feedbacks and reviews from the platform. Thanks

The thing is that satellites are planned with a lifespan which can include a fixed amount of fuel for adjustments like this. It's not too hard to attach a dollar amount here.

I'm as big a fan of SpaceX as you'll find but considering they were the one entering an orbit they didn't previously occupy it seems like a pretty lame move on SpaceX's part.
> But time and again when I search for a question online if there's an SO version of it it has the best answer. And when I can't find an answer anywhere and I ask on SO I usually get a good answer quickly. (And when I don't I'm probably completely out of luck.)

This is the false dichotomy the article is referring to. Having good answers is not necessarily the result of the users being hostile.

And in your last 2 paragraphs you're being condescending and dismissive in the exact same way the author is describing. You're making a lot of baseless assumptions about the person who asked the question even though they have adhered to the posting guidelines. Just because they don't fit your personal criteria of effort or importance doesn't mean that the question is invalid in some way.

If people dislike answering basic questions so much maybe they shouldn't hang out at a Q&A forum.
“Anyway, what exactly do they require of you for source-to-object correspondence?”

In my case this is not really clear. You have quite a bit of leeway but you never know when you will get rejected. We had things that are approved a few years ago being rejected now because some rules have been tightened.

With reproducible builds you could save a lot of time validating build chains. It would be a huge timesaver and probably also allow us to be more creative with the build chain because if the binary is the same you know it worked.
OEM and data centres are the big accounts. Power consumption is crucial to battery life in remote devices (in this case, laptops) and electricity is roughly 50% of the cost of a super computer over five years (a lot of it is for cooling, and it's presumably less for data centres used for cloud or storage).

If Dell sells more laptops with AMD and Amazon rents more AMD instances (m5ad, r5ad: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/new-amd-epyc-powered-amazon...) then AMD should be quite happy.

That is certainly one of my pet peeves about that site. It is also a behavior frequently seen on IRC as well.

I got a good amount of points by answering the actual questions.

Since hitting moderator status based on the number of points many years ago I've stopped using it though. It gets tiring fighting against people like this who often have >50-100k points.

Occasionally I'll land on the website again after googling a question, but it seems like Quora is starting to weaken Stack Overflow's google rankings.
I heard that they deliberately try to not make them too realistic, as it then over-fits. They aren’t sure, so a bit of abstraction helps to overlook where it doesn’t quite match.

It's like when there's a crappy car refusing to give the right a way to a luxury car. The crappy car owner has little to lose compared to the luxury car owner.

Constellation owners (SpaceX here) knows that owners of big satellite will dodge them.
Big satellite will have to carry more fuel, which incidentally is good news for the business of satellite launchers (SpaceX again).

Don't travel with electronics. It'll ask just as many questions of why you have a wiped clean phone or laptop. In this story they were simply looking for justification to deny the guy and they found it. I'd gauge that the border guards here would use clean electronics for the like as 'you must be hiding something'.

Why would they refuse to move the satellite? It's not like only the European satellite would be affected by a collision, both are in danger, so either they couldn't or they didn't think it was likely.

> they were politely asked to do so and declined for reasons the author is unaware of.

So, they refused. That's what that word means.
> SpaceX didn’t “refuse” to move the satellite

> they ... declined for reasons

"Declined" and "refused" are synonyms. SpaceX did refuse to move the satellite.
I presume there are liability rules if your satellite hits another one. What about if your satellite makes another one waste fuel on a diversion?

The US military tracking isn't very accurate. Errors of hundreds of meters are common.

I bet spacex themselves know the location of their satellites to within a few meters. With more accurate data, you can come up with a far more accurate collision risk estimate.
That's a possibility, but not all of the defendants in Guantanamo bay were captured in the same manner.

For instance, there were a number of children there and I highly doubt the evidence would warrant holding children in this way or possibly even at all. Yes, won't someone think of the children.

You raise another interesting point, that the torture and possible other crimes the United States committed would have come out in full.

So what harm could a little legal black hole do? You are only a nation ruled by law if you apply the law equally, the damage that Guantanamo Bay's continued existence does is incalculable in the longer term, and not just to the United States.

A second "R", for one.
Being a lover of Space and SpaceX, this incident highlights why a goldilocks paradigm for regulation needs to exist for space. Not too much that it stifles innovation. Not too little that someone ends up Kesslerizing Near-Earth space.

Current regulations are largely successful at promoting commercial space flight, but there is a big transparency gap between civilian space flight agencies and private entities. Transparency should be one of the cornerstones of space regulations, but it isn’t. This incident raises multiple policy questions. Why can’t SpaceX move their satellite? Is it a no because an ion drive takes days to burn or is it a no because they don’t wanna? Either way, it exposes a flaw in SpaceX’s design and raises concerns about StarLink. When there are hundreds of StarLink satellites in the air, will SpaceX say no again if there’s a chance for collision? Will SpaceX be a responsible steward of Near-Earth space? If ion drives are insufficient to address this problem, should they be required to take a small amount of monopropellant as a precaution?

Transparency is essential for answering these questions and asking new ones. The one I’m most concerned about is the question, what are the pollution risks of LEO constellations? Ideally, before StarLink and other networks are up and running, I feel there should be a study of the pollution risk StarLink poses be it light pollution or debris. We shouldn’t repeat the failings of the 20th century in space.

Why didn’t you set the goal to 30 minutes, if there are days where it’s likely that you miss your more ambitious goal?

If you set the goal to walk an hour per day and you just walk 30 minutes, you obviously failed to reach the goal. Depending on the first two questions, you can be hard on yourself for this or not.
