Agreed. Pretty much the opposite, actually - shipping, housing, feeding, etc. a bunch of humans is obscenely expensive in the context of space exploration. You're far better off sending a bunch of robots with a couple mechanics to keep them running. Additionally, I'm pretty sure that by the time we're in any kind of position to do actual colonization efforts, automation effects will have long since taken their toll.
No not alarmist. I'm with you and I strongly believe US should undo Trump so we can rebuild an international coalition of 'Democracy' to confront China, unified together, with much stronger action (backstopped with force if needed).
I don't understand why you got downvoted. Even if GP meant that a CPU that is advertised as formally verified must be deterministic... the devil is in the details, and any number of bugs and undocumented features, including vulnerabilities and backdoors, can hide in a formally verified CPU that has billions of transistors.
Drones are probably more effective than guns nowadays.

Because of drones, you have to re-secure an area over and over and over while the attacker can move around.
>Of course, legacy might be a determinative factor in life success, but I'd prefer the doctor who got in on academic merit alone.

I agree with you, but to play devil's advocate: I think it's very possible that the legacy child of two doctors becomes a better doctor than a more academically-talented student.
>Irish immigrants, many of whom were very poor, were more of an underclass than the Germans. In Ireland, the English had oppressed the Irish for centuries, eradicating their language and culture and discriminating against their religion (Catholicism). Although the Irish had a larger population than the English, they were a subordinate group. This dynamic reached into the new world, where Anglo Americans saw Irish immigrants as a race apart: dirty, lacking ambition, and suitable for only the most menial jobs. In fact, Irish immigrants were subject to criticism identical to that with which the dominant group characterized African Americans. By necessity, Irish immigrants formed tight communities segregated from their Anglo neighbors. The later wave of immigrants from Southern and Eastern Europe was also subject to intense discrimination and prejudice. In particular, the dominant group—which now included second- and third-generation Germans and Irish—saw Italian immigrants as the dregs of Europe and worried about the purity of the American race (Myers 2007). Italian immigrants lived in segregated slums in Northeastern cities, and in some cases were even victims of violence and lynchings similar to what African Americans endured. They worked harder and were paid less than other workers, often doing the dangerous work that other laborers were reluctant to take on.

- So I take it Irish-Americans, Italian-Americans and Americans of Eastern-European descent, most of them having arrived in states without Jim Crow laws, won't have to pay?

- Will white people who's ancestors fought and died for the union side in the civil war have to pay or maybe they get a discount?

- Will white people who arrived in the last 20 years have to pay?

- Will poor white people have to pay?

- Does this cover rich African Americans or does the money only go to those with less money than white people?

- The average black family is 7x poorer than the average asian family. Does that mean Asians have to pay too?
Sounds like numerology, at this point.

A bit of context for Wolfram's obsession with cellular automata: http://bactra.org/reviews/wolfram/
I don't think most Americans care about the history of the black panthers because nowadays they're a bunch of aggressive anti-white racists. At least in the media that's the only thing portrayed about them.
Depending on context, Jewish can be either ethnicity or religion (or both). I believe in this context, ethnicity is more important (and it’s also a proxy for higher IQ of Askenazi Jews).
Income equality is outcome equality, which is unenforceable.
It was a 4-3 decision in a 8 member court (with Justice Kagan recusing herself, as you mentioned). It's a 5-4 reverse decision now based on ideology alone.
SEEKING WORK | Cambridge/London UK or Remote

I'm a software engineer with 16 years of programming experience. I've helped startups get started and big companies keep going.

If you have web projects, then there's a good chance I've worked on something similar before and will be able to hit the ground running. If you need more general programming, I can do it. If you're doing something a bit esoteric, that would definitely suit me – I've done FPGAs, network protocols, speech recognition, more ETL than you can shake a stick at, and devising novel algorithms.

I haven't yet found a programming language that I'm not productive in. In the last 5 years I've written (at least) C#, Java, Python, Javascript (browser and Node.js), and Ruby professionally. Earlier this year, I quickly picked up Typescript, and soon helped the rest of the team understand it better.

I'm friendly and easy-going, enjoy mentoring and working with other developers. I recently developed an important new feature for a client within an existing codebase with tests within their ten day budget.

I'm happiest on fixed-term projects that I can complete on a schedule that suits both of us, and my clients have been very happy with this process too.

Again, this further underlines how strange it is the Jews are separated out above when they are considered white according to things like the census. The numbers from the top comment would look a lot less scary to the average white person if Jews were lumped into that group.
As a clueless european why is that a problem if we are talking about a private university? Wouldn't that be more of a problem if it was a public university funded by public (tax) money?
If you don't claim a race they will just put you in as white.
> Cargo does ignore unknown directives

Maybe you misread what I said, I said that silently ignoring a key was actually the incorrect behaviour. You should get an error if you see a key you don't recognise -- completely separate from the security considerations, it's also one of correctness (if the tool doesn't recognise the configuration it won't produce the right output so it's much better to not give any output than to silently give the wrong output).

(This would make importing projects that use newer compiler versions into projects that use older ones slightly harder, but if the model of Rust is that everyone will use the newest compiler -- which I don't really agree with -- then they should follow that model completely).
Sure, but in a world dominated by the Christian church, isn't it possible that the discrimination was based more on religion than on race?

I don't remember where (help me, please!) but I read an account by a medieval European monk visiting monasteries and Christian communities in Africa. He described their religious practices, traditions, culture architecture and food in great detail, but mentioned their (certainly much darker) skin tones only in passing.

"Race" (boiled down to skin melanin contents) as a distinguishing point between groups of people is not a permanent fixture in human history. It is especially overwhelmed by religion, language and culture/tribal nationality in terms of its use as a dividing point between "us" and "them".
PlayCanvas uses WebGL 2 by default and falls back to WebGL 1 when it's not available. So in Safari, the renderer will use WebGL 1. Just tried the link on a recent MacBook Pro and an iPhone X and XS and it works fine. What is your OS and Safari version?

I would guess it would be 5-4 against Harvard, with Thomas, Alito, Kavanaugh, Gorsuch, and Roberts in the majority. Which one of these would you have ruling in favor of Harvard's AA plan?
> Don't take my word for it.

I won't. I want peer-reviewed science, like the vastly significant body of research that has been produced showing AGW.

> You're on the Internet. Look up the evidence about Cook's paper.

No. You're the one insisting that the global scientific orthodoxy is wrong. You present the evidence.

> Stephen Schneider advocated scientists and media deceiving the public in APS News Aug/Sep 1996, p. 5.

No, he didn't. Try looking up the original. But even if he did, it wouldn't matter. The science is overwhelming. It makes no difference what one individual said 23 years ago.
>These things are extremely easy to reconfigure, and no cabinetry is not very expensive.

Bullshit. It's a lot more expensive than any residential stove, mainly because of the labor costs.

>Even utilising just standard residential ovens, they come in 600, 750, and 900 widths

Those don't sound like widths in inches, so that doesn't apply here in the US.
No university would ever do that (effectively anonymize applications) because donations would plummet to almost zero. If there are no perks - one of the big ones being your kids have a good chance of being admitted - what's the point?

This job just opened up and we don't have a req out for it yet on our website -- please email adam at knock[dot]com if you're interested. No recruiters or contract firms, please.
I think that's great example of why this is a difficult conversation. Global commodities are typically fixed and can be prohibitive to some localities.

Who budges? Do the global companies lower their prices or do local economies step up and pay more? Or even are they able to pay more?
maybe, probably, it was. But the idea that a measure of one of these rules can be interpreted as a number sparked my imagination.

I have to say also that interpreting the grid as space itself, and color of the square as the presence or absence of a particle is pretty compelling. When I think of it that way, then the proportion of each color matters a lot, as it would be the way equilibrium is expressed.
Making them round is so inefficient for the machines. Make 'em long -- that way you merely need to pass dough through a conveyor. Then, use the money you saved on the simpler machinery to do an advertizing campaign to change the public's perception of what shape a pizza should be.

The boxes are already square. Two long rectangle pizzas in a box. As a bonus, it's easy to pack two DIFFERENT pizzas with different toppings into a mixed box, for group orders. And variety.

I love the fact that this is #1 on hn with a 30k prize.

Meanwhile the major tech corps would kill for that kind of bang per buck.
Nothing gives me more anxiety than HN. Facebook is nothing compared to the depression I get from being constantly downvoted here simply by having an opinion that doesn't resonate with the norm.
Not sure why you’re downvoted as this reflects the historical record.

During Tet, the VC was crushed and ceased being an effective fighting force in the south. The NVA was forced to pick up the slack.

The eventual takeover of south Vietnam was by conventional military forces.

Because in many respects it's the #1 University in the world where there is intense global competition amongst students to get it and they believe Harvard admission would be determined in a merit based fair manner.
So... everyone's right. The strata being argued about isn't primarily about race, its economic and social class. We are super good at avoiding this in the US.
Hogwash.

My military-trained father-in-law accidentally discharged his handgun inside the house while cleaning it. The bullet ricocheted and could have killed anybody.

It was a manufacturing defect. All those guns were recalled and replaced 2 months later.
He explicitly said income equality is unachievable. I didn't put those words in his mouth.

You can't answer the question of "when" if a person has already decided the goal is unachievable. Again, those were his words not mine

The Swiss militia is setup to protect the country from foreign invaders. The 2nd amendment was setup exactly for this same reason, as the founding fathers were thinking about the British when they wrote it.

Of course, the text is vague enough that everyone will simply draw out whatever meaning they find reinforces their biases. Given that the most fervent upholders of the amendment today were draft dodgers back in the day, it is safe to say that protection of country is no longer important in their reading of the amendment.

At any rate, even if we accept that the clause is prefatory, that doesn’t make it meaningless, it has an effect on how gun rights should be maintained (so that the populace can overthrow the government or protect against foreign invaders, it is not protected for self defense, sport hunting, target practice, etc...).

How raising a $2M Seed Round really, actually went
> They got a fair shot. A judge just determined it.

And what happens if the Supreme Court overrules that? Are you just going to blindly agree then too?

> I got a fair shot. I didn't get in. Can the plaintiffs move on?

How do you even know you got a fair shot. That's the whole point of this case. You're just blindly asserting that.
> He joined company after very serious considerations

He joined the company despite being aware of many red flags, just because he hoped to endure the shit until he could cash out. These are considerations, but not really what I'd call "serious" in a professional context.

I'm pretty sure there may have been lots of broken pieces at Snap (the stuff about condos as offices can't just be made up, and is insane), but what I can read between the lines is that he brought a few new ones along himself.

The remote work thing is something you either get signed by the company, or is a personal agreement with another person (and nobody else is bound by it). It's fine to be naive and make that mistake at the time, but to then insist on it in a post like this? That's not naivete, that's a massive disconnect, and you can expect other parts of his story to be similarly out of sync with reality, either by omission or by distortion.
You can deploy through sftp but you still need save the files locally. I could accept that but then you generate a laravel db migration file or config file is created through a package that was installed remotely. So your local copy doesn't have the new file. So now you have to resync the repo. Resyncing the repo from the root directory brings in the vendor packages locally so a resync could take an hour. You need to go to subfolder by subfolder resyncing if you want to avoid that.

Dreamweaver is open-edit-push back. Perfect when you have to make a change to a site and don't want all of the fiies locally.
What do you mean by "survived immediate scrutiny"? Do you mean that in a generic sense, or in some legal sense (that I'm unaware of — I only know strict, intermediate, and rational basis).
There is a large group of obsessed upper-middle class parents that believe you must go to Harvard (or another Ivy League school) to succeed in life.

Sadly, the jobs that are most dominated by nepotism and politics (law, government, academic professors of softer subjects) it really does help to go to Harvard or similar and have the brand name. Value-producing industries in the private sector are not exclusively merit-based, but it's much more likely you can go from the bottom to the top by starting a competitive business. And starting a business does not require going to Harvard.
It's fundamentally 1D, with the vertical dimension used to illustrate how it evolves over time.
And not a single word about his dismissal from RMS beforehand? And looking at the older entries on his Wikipedia entry, it seems that the dismissal itself was a controversial topic, with Bushnell claiming disagreement with licensing and RMS claiming communications blackout.

I highly doubt his recount is objective, or even tried to be.

He could've admitted to potentially being biased beforehand, that would've redeemed his account in my eyes, but having me find out that they didn't part on the best of terms leaves a bad taste instead.
I didn't mean a flying thing and I know multiple companies exists. Good ideas doesn't need to sound novel at their core.

I can't recall now where, but heard the word drone used for robots. Maybe the boundary is getting blurrier?
The universe is 1D. When you plot the universe over time you get a 2D image.
Harvard is essentially funded by public money since it has a special tax status. Tax exempt groups have stricter guidelines for behavior relative to purely private, for-profit groups.
Yes, the availability problem hinges on being able to persist a handful of bytes. The problem isn't the number, which, sure, is small. The problem is the availability of any persistent media in general.

There are absolutely devices with exclusively RO media with plenty of processing power to perform meaningful crypto (e.g., embedded devices with 802.11 wifi). So:

> If your system is too small to be able to persist 32 bytes, it's probably too small to perform any amount of meaningful cryptography anyway.

This sentence is not based in reality.
First, I'm not discussing anti-Semitism in general. This is a discussion specifically focused on the idea of when and where Jews were considered a separate race. It's still quite possible for a group to be discriminated, and even persecuted, without them being classified as a separate race. Just ask the Irish.

Second, Oliver Cromwell readmitted the Jews to England, nearly 500 years ago. The Dutch readmitted Jews over 500 years ago. The Swedes 300 years ago. Over 200 years ago Napoleon's Western European armies emancipated Jews, primarily from Eastern Europe's absolute monarchies.

In contrast, Jews were never granted equal legal status in Russia until 1917. Pogroms were regular occurrences in Ukraine, Poland and Lithuania until the 1920s. The Romanian Iron Guard persecuted Jews with such brutality, that even the Nazis told them to dial it back. Contrast with Denmark, where the local populace refused to let the SS deport even a single Danish Jew.

Anyone with even a passing familiarity of Jewish history would tell you that while anti-semitism in the modern period isn't unheard of in Western Europe, its orders of magnitude worse in Eastern Europe.
> So under that thought process... when does the temporary measure end?
