Fresher Job. Currently a computer science student, having an experience of 1 year of remote job of Backend Engineer after the end of my graduation.
You see both underground and multistory above ground in residential builds in LA. However I’m willing to bet that those 2-4 stories of parking make up most of the cost of building.
> Underground parking is possible but rare - you see it more these days, but then it costs significantly more than just a tarmac lot outside both to construct and to purchase a space in.

An apartment costs significantly more than just a tent outside, too. We still choose to build apartments instead because they're easier to build vertically and they're more attractive.

> Multistorey aboveground would take up space that would be used by apartments and would never get past planning approval in a residential area.

You can always build apartments on top of the multistory aboveground parking. That's pretty common in San Francisco.

An ideal would be for every building to have parking underneath it at street level, and then for there to be an upper "street" dedicated entirely to pedestrian and bicycle traffic (and perhaps rail). It'd be a huge upfront cost (which is why very few - if any - cities actually do this), but it'd be a much better experience for pedestrians and drivers alike. It could also potentially pay for itself (by charging for parking), and having all cars underground could make it easy to recapture any automotive emissions (hopefully electric cars will mostly or fully displace ICE cars, but if not, then it's at least a lot easier to trap greenhouse gases in a tunnel than out in the open).
> Carell, an organic chemist, and his collaborators have now demonstrated a chemical pathway that — in principle — could have made A, U, C and G (adenine, uracil, cytosine and guanine, respectively) from basic ingredients such as water and nitrogen under conditions that would have been plausible on the early Earth. The reactions produce so much of these nucleobases that, millennium after millennium, they could have accumulated in thick crusts, Carell says. His team describes the results in Science on 3 October.

> The results add credence to the ‘RNA world’ hypothesis, says Carell, who is at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich in Germany. ...

It's worth noting that what was made were nucleobases - flat very low molecular weight molecules - that when attached to ribose yield nucleotides.

It is nucleotides, not nucleobases, that form RNA.

The "RNA world hypothesis" still needs to explain where the ribose came from, how it was joined with the bases that were supposedly littering the Earth's surface, and how the resulting nucleotides started spontaneously assembling themselves through combination with phosphate into polymers.

That's a very, very tall order in chemistry.
Wow, putting RFID chips in every card... gee what could go wrong?

How does that idea even get past the whiteboarding stage? Seems so stupid for any poker house to do that. I mean come on, there is real money at stake and you are putting RFID TAGS IN EVERY CARD???
Only the fact that trams can be larger is inherent in trams. The rest could easily be applied to a bus if someone had the vision to do so.
In my experience, just because your insurance pays, it doesn’t mean you don’t have an incentive to stop the payout. Premiums are based on how much insurance pays in claims, so their future premiums will be higher than if there were not to be a payment in the first place.

I still don’t see why a hotel would be at all culpable, so I would love to see the analysis of the lawyers involved. It is not legal precedent, but it is precedent in the sense that if MGM’s lawyers thought it best not to fight it, then what can a smaller company do?
The sum total of exclusion zones due to nuclear power is tiny when compared to the exclusion zone that will be created by rising sea levels due to global warming.
Nothing! There are a lot of web-front ends for Calibre, actually. And that’s also why you have some really great iOS apps for accessing your library. For me, the value of Calibre is more in the plugins than the serving mechanism — which is where the bad design becomes frustrating. But again, despite being frustrated by the app, I’m so grateful to the developer for making it, because I would rather have this version of Calibre then no Calibre at all.
Over the last few years reading HN comments a part of me can't help but think that the more criticism leveled at an application or technology the more useful it is for end users. This is probably true for Node, PHP, MySQL and Wordpress to name a few. Kovid Goyal should take the criticisms a sign Calibre is very useful to end users.

I think this needs to be emphasized more. Saying that a bicycle is more dangerous than a car is equivalent to saying that being a bank teller is more dangerous than a gunman. Sure, that may be true, but are we really going to blame the bank teller here?
There's an important point appearing about 2/3rds of the way into this article: Zürich was not always oriented towards public transportation, and was in fact much more car-oriented in the post-WWII years. It was conscious, intentional, and relatively recent urban planning that made it the way it is today.

Something similar also occurred in bike-friendly Amsterdam, which as recently as the late 60's was much more car-friendly and much less bike-friendly.

Some folks, when shown successful examples of public-transit centered European cities, claim that it would never work in the United States, in part because, they claim, the Euro cities naturally evolved in such a way as to be more amenable to public transport than automobiles. Well, it just isn't so!
Basically a library next to a coffee shop?
To me "source" implies code though. Not article.
It was part of being "lint-free". The `lint` program of the time would otherwise complain that you're not doing anything with the return value of `printf`. Not doing anything with the return value of a function was considered possibly poor code. One of the likely problems was not checking an error return value, and handling the error cases. However, in the case of `printf`, normally you would not check and handle errors there, so you wrote the code as `(void)printf(...);`, to tell `lint` that you're ignoring the return value intentionally.
My school's library was similar. The fourth and fifth floors were excellent for when I needed to carve out some dedicated focus time.

If I walked at 30km/h on the streets I would definitely wear one

The poster in another comment says he wears helmet and body protections when skying, I think it's just common sense and not wanting to suffer sever consequences for no real reason.

Turkey wouldn't allow it even if the money showed up. This dam is all about control of the Tigris, and flooding the city is a bonus strike against the Kurds as far as Ankara is concerned.
I can't say for France or Germany since I didn't invest the 30 seconds in a web search, but here is a statistic for Austria: https://kurier.at/politik/inland/335-rechtsextreme-taten-im-... (in German)

798 prosecutions for Nazi activities in 2017, 409 in the first half of 2018. These are not all politicians, nor all the occasional public figure like David Irving. They are average Joes, posting or saying something in public or drawing swastikas on things.

The article doesn't say what activities were prosecuted in detail; the law prohibits much more than just Holocaust denial: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verbotsgesetz_1947, but all of them are of the form "you are not allowed to say certain things".

You might meet a right-wing policeman who doesn't mind, or you might have to put something in writing or be caught on camera, but overall these are not things that the justice system takes lightly.
What do you mean by restabilized?
Problem #1: they are closed source. Good luck verifying their security.

Problem #2: it is in the best interest of nation states to be able to break the VPNs and it's in the best interest of large vendors to quietly cooperate with the government.
Is it just me, or do others find it disturbing that very serious accusations are being made and promoted with nothing but very circumstantial evidence.

I read the article expecting to find some solid evidence of cheating, but instead is just a bunch of speculation and innuendo.
Sure, even if it was completely free, the fact that you have to badge for it provides an air of accountability which would prevent hoarding.
I don't think the average driver employs rationality when scanning the road. I think their attention is governed simply by probability.

99% of activity on the road are moving cars and trucks. So drivers look for moving cars and trucks, not fast mcyclists or slow bcyclists, and they largely ignore stationary objects like pedestrians (unless they're present in likely places like crosswalks).

It's the norm for anyone to see what you most expect to see and overlook the less salient stuff as "noise". For outliers like cyclists and pedestrians, I think the only solution is deliberately to become harder to overlook.

Personally, I suggest blinking lights on bcycles and pedestrians, and pulsing headlights (daytime) on mcycles.

Google is dumping money into their enterprise programs. They hired some experienced people to run it. Their offerings are soooo much better quality than AWS. Try getting a GPU vm with a local SSD on AWS, does not exist... In GCP I can set custom values for CPU, MEM, GPU, SSD. Try to ssh to a machine, and then one without a public network connect.

Google is the only provider with a good portal to their partner program. They can actually communicate and we now have a dedicated account rep.
That was a great read, but one of the summary conclusions jarred with me a bit:

I am surprised to have seen this penned by a doctor. Relevant studies and guidelines are a minefield for amateurs.

I agree GoT fans are weird but come on, it's taken him a literal decade to finish the last book and it's going to take more with the next one. You don't have to bring up higher notions of entitlement or contract law to make the simple remark that the dude is slow and riding the gravy train that came with his early books (which took him much less to write, incidentally). Saying 'it's your fault' just makes you look like kind of a dick.
The most common way I see on the wild is by separating in categories:

- package.json
- src
|- main.js
|- components
|- pages
\- widgets
|- directives
|- helpers
|- mixins
|- router
\- store

This works for both small projects (but you might not have directives/mixins/router/store) and larger projects (but you might have to add more subfolders inside components/pages because you will start breaking down components).

The fact that we can't side-load apps is a tragedy. Any anti-trust investigation into Apple + Google should discuss this it's highly anti-competitive.

I get that they want a sanitary app store but if I go to myapp.com I should be able to side load.

It would also be nice to side-load from phone to phone in situations like this so that apps can't be blocked by governments like China.

If the apps just verified keys that would be enough so that you know you're installing the app from the right developer.
The Neo-Darwinists are downvoting me, no doubt.

In fact, I'm happy to accept that none of us know what the origin of life is.

Life is just too complicated to be an accident of random, purposeless matter.

Life is also too complex and multi-faceted to be explained by any religion's mythos.
Fwiw I think the transition from single cellular life, or even non-callulqr life like viruses, is fairly easy to imagine.
This is the one I use too. Tiny difference - I write

so it's even harder to accidentally highlight the 'delete' part.

Although I've switched to DBeaver for a year now, and it automatically pops up a warning when it detects a DELETE query without a WHERE, which is very nice.

Regulations (PCI at least) don't prevent you from making your own unaffected COTS VPN server. You may need a FIPS compliant HSM for keying and revocation control but if your a college educated IT professional in an enterprise environment this should be well within your scope.

Of course we all know that's a lie. You could pick 10 random tech executives and none of them would know half the acronyms in this post. Why would they need to? That's why they were paying a vendor. Self inflicted indeed.
I'm curious: why is FPGA tooling so poor? I used a Spartan-3 over a decade ago for a simple project, and as cursory look it doesn't seem like things have changed much despite the devices becoming significantly more diverse and complicated.
This is an interesting idea.

I have tele-doctor services available cheaply ($50 a pop) through my plan, and actually it works very well for a lot of nuisance type items like minor infections. It's pretty quick, and I seem to always get a doctor in my state.

I'm curious about the economies of in-home visits. Given a large enough office, in-office visits obviously makes a ton of sense and many large offices already keep a clinician or nurse desk in them (think the kind of services available at your local CVS/Walgreens). However, home visits would seem like you'd be paying a medical professional a lot of money to sit in traffic depending on the locale..
I totally agree. In my case, it’s definitely a case of “I bitch because I care” — and I am very appreciative of the app and the hard work that has gone into it. I cannot imagine doing all of that myself and making the app free at that.

I do think it’s a shame the codebase is such that seems to prevent meaningful contributions/collaboration that might improve things — but Kovid has done something amazing, make no mistake.

And more to the point — we all complain about Calibre, yet no other app exists that even does a fraction of what it does.

Another anecdote:

Greta Thunberg visited the Hambacher Forst in germany, which is occupied by activist to prevent it from being chopped down for the coal underneath. And some of the activists were masked.. so that provoked a shitstorm by media and politicians, because "nobody in our awesome country has to hide their face, unless they have to hide something". Which is somewhat hypocrite and telling, as the same politicians and journalists have no problem, posing with heavily armed and masked police forces

One of the essential features of a university library as far as I’m concerned is to actually have on hand a sufficient number of copies of the books required for each course. This was done very well at my university in the UK, but from what I’ve seen in the US, students are expected to buy (oftentimes many) books for each of their courses. I have a problem with that in the days of high tuition and bloated administration. Libraries should not be profit centres.

A university library to me is a place which has access to academic material such as journals and various scholarly databases, a good selection of relevant books, a nice place to study, and very high speed internet.

I didn’t extensively use the library during my studies as most of our CS course materials were available for free, but I did use the space a lot. Additionally, whenever I encountered a book that I might want, the library would process an interlibrary loan, or just buy the book. Purchase requests were easy and fast.
or both, or neither. Apple’s review process is pretty opaque so we may never know. What we do know is that they changed their minds. That’s a good thing.

Not really, the distances are too great to make them economical. That's why air travel is more common.

For distances where trains make sense, cars are preferable: You can travel at your own schedule, and then you have transportation at your destination. If you take a train, you have to meet the train at a certain place at a certain time, which is stressful, and then you still have to arrange transportation from the train station to your final destination.

Even worse, if you have to change trains during your trip... It's much, much easier to put all your stuff in a car once.

This basically leaves trains for traveling between dense cities, where the passengers either live close to a train station, or have a destination close to a train station.

And, to be honest, after flying twice with young kids this year, I put my foot down and told my wife road trips only for the next few years. I wouldn't want to travel by train with young children for the same reason that travel by air with young children is difficult.

They are mostly nonsense because they're not actually effective, and they've been proven ineffective in empirical tests- mixed fights with little to no rulesets. If you attempted to use Kung Fu to defend yourself against an 'unavoidable situation', you'd very likely lose. Testing in realistic situations- the point of the Deadspin article- is that MMA & its constituent martial arts (Muay Thai, boxing etc.) are what's actually effective. (Did you read the article?)
