Knowing the asteroid's composition isn't required to calculate the mass. This can be derived by the orbit. So, the total mass of the binary system (main and moonlet) is known, but the mass contribution of each isn't. Assuming though that they have the same bulk density, M2/M1 = (D2/D1)^3 ~ 0.0116 and considering Σ Mi = M, then M2 ~ 0.0115M.

I think Google is probably able to determine based on personality profiles created from our searches who we're most likely to mesh well with... whether that's based on interest or personality profile, who knows. It would be an interesting experiment.
It's in beta though. Planning to move ahead and start using it in our team now.
The list of auto-approved items seems somewhat arbitrary, but I think they had privacy concerns in mind when they made the list (although it seems stupid that you can't override those protections if you'd like).

All of the ones on the "cannot be run automatically" list are things that a bad actor could do if they had your phone, like wait for a certain time of day, or move your phone to a specific location, or bring it in range of a particular bluetooth or wifi device.

But then, NFC is on the "can be run automatically" list, meaning that a bad actor could touch your phone to a NFC tag to trigger an action, so that doesn't make much sense. The rest of the items on the "can be run automatically" list are all ones that require your phone to be unlocked (I think).

Very odd choice by Apple for something that will be used by relatively few people and would greatly increase the usability of the feature

React Native vs. Xamarin: What to Choose for 2020
Well, do you know how we "see" black holes? The "body" of a black hole is nothing but darkness, but we see the radiation given off by the mass accelerating toward the black hole event horizon that can often reach significant fractions of c. Given the high mass density of a planet compared to space, a massive amount of hard radiation will be released.

Also the relative velocities of earth and the black hole is extremely important. Depending on the relative velocities, it's possible that the blackhole simply gets lodged in the earth's core and we're 100% dead, another 100% dead scenario is if it plunges in, out the other side, but then "falls back" for another pass and so on.
Damn. It does seem that stupid mistakes took him down. Revealing too much about himself on his forum. I mean, if he'd been careful, compromise of that forum would have revealed nothing about him. And for Dog's sake, using the same password on low- and high-security accounts!

Of course, the real story could be hidden through parallel construction. But on it's face, this does support the argument that it's stupid mistakes that take people down. Krebs' blog is full of them.

Edit: And just to be clear, I'm not even suggesting support for that Ukrainian dickhead. It's just that criminal takedowns are well reported, and so provide cautionary lessons for the rest of us.

Based on reputation it's tough for us to compete for students who are considering MIT, Stanford, or Ivy's. We have a few students who transfer from those schools because they want a more hands on education, but it's not the norm.

Our outcomes set us apart from the next tier of universities. Average starting salary is north of $100k (on par or higher than any other CS degree) with strong placements at name brand companies. Unlike top universities with comparable outcomes, we draw from a much more diverse socio-economic range.

We have struggled with the name a bit. On one hand we like that it sounds much more humble than trying to pick a "prestigious" sounding university name (and we don't like the ego involved with naming it after a person), but on the other many people don't grok that it's a proper college on first glance. Sticking with it for now...

A Software Update Will Instruct Space Tomatoes to Sprout
I'm curious how an object this size with a planet's mass is not sweeping all the dust and rocks in its area as it moves through its orbit, like Jupiter cleans up the outer solar system. Even interstellar space has around 1e6 loose ions per cc. Is it radiating faster than it's eating?
Yes, this is one of the factors at play but there are no proof that seasonal depression is the main one. All of northern countries have this issue without having such high suicide rates.

This issue is a sociocultural one. There has never been any proof that Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) can increase suicide rates that much. Living up north, I can assure you that everyone is aware of SAD and is taking steps to minimize it. Omega-3, vitamin supplements, light therapy, etc.
The political parties system seems to only encourage this. Internal party topics and subjects just encourage this sort of down the rabbit hole effort to appeal to a smaller and smaller number of people to win a nomination....

But then in the outside world that isn't what the voters want / respect.

I see it time and again even with political parties I'm inclined to agree with. They show up even in general elections with slogans and somewhat corner case policies, attacks on their opponents, and ideas that really don't appeal to the masses. They seem to bamboozle even themselves unable to even recognize it at times.
Bill Gates is wrong on this though. Mark my words, he will admit this in the future.
When you create a community that's welcoming to racists, where people share racist ideology and memes and have racist conversations, with the plausible deniability provided by anonymity and the implied satire and irony behind everything, then actual racists will show up and speak openly, and appropriate the memes as actual symbols.

Why wouldn't they? It's free real estate, as it were.
It's been a while since I read the essay and I don't exactly remember the distinctions drawn. I'll venture my own opinions:

Lying is necessary when trying to move through the world. Governments lie for the same reason people lie. Governments restrict information just like people have internal opinions and thoughts we keep hidden.

Governments need to act, which involves imagining the world as it doesn't exist and spreading that imaginary world in order to create a consensus. This is very similar to lying and the boundaries aren't obvious.

People don't want a government that tells the truth and will not vote for a candidate who tells the truth. See McGovern vs. Nixon.

You should read Seveneves by Neal Stephenson. The plot of that book follows the events after a primordial black hole streaks through the Moon, causing it to implode. It's packed with detail, but interesting for anyone interested in space and engineering.
even without any of the overly complicated tech you describe, some journals maintain statisticians on staff who evaluate everything in every paper and then help correct errors before publication. My stats prof, Stan Glantz did this for a major cardiology journal. He said (and I agree, having reviewed plenty of papers myself) that statistical errors that affect the conclusion of the paper were found in the majority of papers.
Value is determined by demand. If demand drops so does value.

Great explanation. I think many people have the wrong default intuition for what an orbit is. I don't think they realize that it means going so fast that you fall perpetually around an object rather than just eventually hitting the object.
That involves women doing more work.

The reason why women tolerate the current system is that it is less work. You just apply a filter to the incoming requests.

It's much easier than having to produce requests.

That's why women's profiles say "don't just say 'hey'" and they get to respond with...

Hey.
No need to design a school for most students. Many people regularly pull 18 credit hours with a job. If they don’t need to work a meaningless job then bumping that to 20 seems extremely reasonable.

Really, an elite admittance process coupled with a school that focuses on getting people out quickly vs ramping up course difficult seems like a viable tradeoff. The biggest issue with early graduation is often a few rare required classes. Design the schedule to avid that issue and you have a huge advantage.
That’s because most cities have poor quality of life, and once you get out of the twenties, you realize quickly that some breathing room, a safe neighborhood, and a single family home with a yard make you much more happy than having access to a large number of bars, restaurants, and other city amenities that you visit less and less. Most millennials are in their thirties now and as they start families they’re realizing high-density urbanism isn’t all its cracked out to be.

Of course what I’m saying isn’t universal and I think there’s a middle ground with cities that retain low-mid density zoning, but it’s my general observation nevertheless.
They are making huge efforts to get away from reliance on their oil.

I agree it's definitely possible for some students. There are students who finish standard 4-year CS degrees ahead of schedule by taking overloads every semester (which sounds like your case), even at programs considered rigorous. But designing a normal/median path is different thing than saying a handful of top students can breeze through this faster than normal. If you just took the current UT-Austin CS curriculum but made 21-credit-hour semesters standard so you could advertise it as a 3-year time-to-completion, I'm pretty sure it'd be a mess, with some students finishing faster, but also a big spike in dropout/failure rates.
I have still never encountered a perfect masking implementation for the web. I don’t believe that they exist. If you think you know of one, please tell me and I’ll see how many seconds it takes me to find bugs in it. Normally it’s less than ten. I’ll be mightily impressed if someone can present me with one that I can’t find bugs in.

Masking is generally surprisingly user-hostile. It’s better to instead take arbitrary user input and make sense of it after the fact—if you want to reformat the value they’ve entered, you might be able to get away with doing that after they blur the field (though even then there are often downsides to doing it), but I believe it’s genuinely impossible to accomplish in a side-effect way before then, across all devices. (It’s not easy, but possible to do it for desktop; but various mobile keyboards are particularly weird and do all kinds of crazy things if you meddle with the value while typing.)

I’m talking about the web specifically here. It’s possible to do things properly outside the web, but the web just doesn’t give you quite the right tools for bug-free implementations of masking.
There's a "tiny" secret - the beautiful power and plasticity of the human brain comes from it being a part of a physical body.

What I don't understand is the fixation on defunding the investment side, as opposed to investing in alternatives. If you pull your funding out of oil and gas, less scrupulous people will take their place and happily rake in the profits, because the demand isn't going anywhere. But make alternative energy cheaper, and the demand for oil and gas will disappear.

I'll also vouch for syncthing. It's the best file sharing application. It works cross platform, has windows, linux, android and mac clients.

I can choose to share specific folders for each device. I have one set up on a DO droplet and seamlessly syncs across all my devices.

Also, when two devices are on the same LAN, it discovers the devices automatically.

Couldn't praise it enough!

The OP said that Apple doesn't have to support older devices because they are antiquated as far as performance goes. So I gave an example where software was supported for far longer during bigger increases in performance.

You are saying that as long as the OEM updates drivers for components support is possible. I agree. This is a reason why Android is often not updated even in the modding community (Qualcomm is not releasing drivers). If only Apple was responsible for both the software and hardware... Oh wait...

I don't think battery usage is the concern, because the alert still triggers - you just have to approve it. By the time you get the alert to approve it, the bluetooth or wifi or location services have already been running (using battery) and triggered the action
Realistically it would just sit there. At least that's what places like StackOverflow evidence. Meaning that whatever momentum it built up over the potential years of being the "right" answer would need to be overcome.

"Any new institution, regardless of merit, would face the same challenge"

This! It's proving to be a LOT harder to build reputation in this world than it is for most startups. Higher Ed brands are societally entrenched in a way that some people define their entire social hierarchy around it (which we don't feel is particularly progressive of a worldview). This is partly why there's been limited pressure to innovate in higher ed, in order to build a new school you first need a lot of capital, then work to get accredited, then build a strong reputation. Some of the strongest barriers to entry of any industry.
>You need basically EVERYONE to agree to stop,

This is the thing I don’t understand from climate... um... super activists.

We know of no more efficient, safe, and easily convertible storage of energy than petrol hydrocarbons. So even if everyone else stopped today, someone will keep using them, and that group will have an advantage over their peers.

Second, if we stop using oil in engines, guess what? It’ll go into lubes, and plastics, and other forms. We have a material we know no better alternative for. You know how composites like carbon fiber enable windmills and solar panels and electric vehicles, and all the new cool things? Carbon fiber is non-recyclable burnt plastic. It’s very oil heavy in production, they take plastic bars, spin, spool, and burn them to get the fiber. It’s extremely non-green, then you have the resins and epoxy that uses oil in its production, and all the greases, lubes, finishes, etc.

If you agreed to get everyone to stop, it basically can’t stop. Someone won’t and they’ll do well because of it in the short term. And obviously we’ll need oil for far more than cars, we use most of it in energy production and cars, but remove those and we’ll just usher in a different era of plastics and composites.

Now of course you can argue plastic in a landfill is better than vaporized in the atmosphere! But to pretend big oil will just “go away” is very foolish.
Affording ourselves insight into the cosmos I think is unreservedly progressive.

If Paris can move graveyards and cemeteries underground for progress, surely something similar can be arranged to enable progress on the one hand and afford people the ability to honor their ancestors and culture.
That's a whole lot of code / diatribe for what is:

}

function checkResponseCode(response: Response) {
if (response.status >= 400) {
const err = new Error(`Error ${response.status} from ${response.url}`) as any
err.fetchHttpResponse = response
throw err
}

return response
}

/** Convenience method */
export function getJson<TJsonBody = any>(
input: RequestInfo,
init?: RequestInitJson,
) {
return fetch(input, init).then((response) => response.json()) as Promise<TJsonBody>
}

The Ethics of Whistleblowing
The economic system is successful because in general there is no way to stop someone from doing something economic. Much like how you can pull with a piece of string but not push; in economics you can take action but it is very challenging to prevent an economic action from happening. It is possible to do in the small but devilishly hard in the large (c.f. the content industries trying to deal with piracy for a good example).

Divesting just shifts profits away from ethical people towards unethical people. It is a bad strategy.

And the banks know that. If they stop investing in something it is because an actuary somewhere has worked out that it is risky and unprofitable.

This whole topic and discussion makes me think about "The Nothing" that rips apart the world in the movie The Neverending Story.

I think you parsed it as

and concluded that "unreasonable" was intended.

But I think the proper parse is

The reason this behavior occurs is because people compromise themselves by jumping through hoops to get degrees. Meanwhile, universities have become fixated on producing credentials and nurturing their endowments rather than producing knowledge. Ponzi schemes fail when they run out of suckers. With the federal government giving hundreds of thousands in free money to round up new suckers it seems unlikely to fail anytime soon. Perhaps corporations will fill the void. I’m not hopeful.
