Planets sprouting new moons, flinging off old moons – reminds of the 1983 coin-op video game, 'Mad Planets':

You wouldn't want to scavenge something from an area which is so irradiated that it fries electronics.
Why is this the top comment. What does that have to do with this story at all?
I wish they would open up the naming of at least one moon to whatever the internet decides to come up with, rather than restricting it to the same old boring gods and goddesses convention. That moon would probably become one of the more popular celestial bodies in the solar system based on that alone.

> OTOH the amount of "information" needed to perfectly simulate a cell is probably unbounded. Just a corollary of the fact that we currently don't know how to perfectly simulate reality.

This is a very good point. The 'information' in a cell isn't the base pairs in its DNA, but all the atoms that make up the whole cell. And then each atom encapsulates properties such as position, velocity, charge, van der Waals radius etc.

However this considers atoms with classical mechanics. In a quantum mechanical representation it would be very different again and you can start asking really hairy questions about whether information can be created or destroyed.
Huh. As someone born and raised in the region, it’s hard to imagine how else it would be pronounced. Poo-y’all-up, maybe?

When my "corporation" goes broke, my creditors can still go to an actual court of law. And if I don't have a real-world LLC or corporation to provide limited liability, the court will rule that I am liable for those debts. Even if the "contract" was only denominated in some sort of cryptocurrency, that has exactly as much legal bearing as a contract obligating me to deliver copper: if I don't deliver the copper, the court will award damages in legal tender.

Frankly, this smells a lot like some straight up sovereign-citizen-tier pseudolaw. If you actually try to do business this way, you're going to be in for a rude awakening when the actual court system still ends up exercising jurisdiction over you.
My story wasn't projecting at all. It was simply a story for background and an apology. But you seem to have turned it into more than that. Treating you like an object, what? I also used your software, I didn't say I liked it.

I think a useful adjunct to this sort of project would be a project that describes a really useful general-purpose CPU that can actually run a lot of advanced software but that's still as simple as possible --- and work out a realistic path for bootstrapping its manufacturing. A stripped down 32-bit RISCV for example only needs tens of thousands of gates but could run most modern software.

In conjunction with that, it would be good to have an archive of useful software and data in a durable format where access to that data can also be bootstrapped. I'm not sure what that format would be...
Yes, I like it but it's probably not powerful enough for professionals.
Is there really any requirement to make a website accessible if you could provide "full and equal enjoyment" via old fashioned phone support? I see this being vastly cheaper and less risky to provide for most non-"web app" websites (e.g. retail websites) for the smaller number of users who need it.

Just back of the envelope estimates if you were to do things like scRNAseq, metabolomics, genomics, etc, on every cell. Infeasible but just as a thought experiment. Most DNA is the same, but not exact, and therein lies the rub (cancer). The point on unbounded though is a good one.

In my experience these folks are nice 100% of the time, unless you're the wrong color, religion, and/or sexual orientation.
> China is one of those rare countries in today's world which has border conflicts with each and every of its neighbors

Many countries have territorial disputes. India has territorial disputes with China and Pakistan. Japan has territorial disputes with Russia, South Korea and China (and Taiwan, if you count them as a country). Basically every country bordering the South China Sea has territorial disputes with every other country bordering the sea.

Yet China hasn't fought a war since 1979, which is something that gets lost in all these discussions. It doesn't fit with the China = expansionist Nazi Germany narrative, I guess.

> is openly ignoring international norms

There's a very good case to be made that China respects international norms much more than the United States does. The US has repeatedly violated the most important post-WWII international norm - the ban on aggressive war. For citizens of the country that invaded Iraq without provocation and caused the deaths of a million people there, it's a bit rich to go on and on about China not respecting international norms.

> I don't think that it is investing heavily in military just for show.

Definitely not for show. They're afraid of the United States military, which is funded to the tune of $700 billion/year. China spends a tiny fraction of that on its military. Even as a fraction of GDP, China's military spending is small compared to that of the US.

Consider a debate about the existence of God. A theist person might say 'everything must have a creator'. One deconstruction could be that the proposed God does not seem to have a creator.

There are places on the internet where such things can be argued in a more intellectually supportive way. Just not all of the internet.

The internet is not just a place for meeting people and discussing opinions.

For many, many people, the internet is a socially supportive space, and an activity space, and those things don't work if challenging discussions are constantly taking place in them.

For what you've just asked for, specifically about making arguments that might change your mind, may I suggest you might enjoy: https://www.reddit.com/r/changemyview/ and https://changemyview.net/subreddit/ (I haven't used them myself, just read about them.)
Nice to see that I am not only one hating booking.com with a passion.

But what really amazes me is the market failure that hotels and other accomodation providers can't come up with a co-op booking site. I am sure there are issues that are difficult to solve from competition point of view, but are they really so difficult to solve that the rent seeking fees of current booking sites are justified?
Yes it is a thing (albeit more subtle, which makes satire better or worse depending on your taste). I was able to read Chinese satire on U.S. gun shootings and PC issues quite frequently.

I guess my issue with things like this SP episode and these kind of satire in general, is that they only seem to focus on one important but partial aspect of one nation. To joke on American PC issues seems fun to many in China, but there are more important things to know about the U.S. than these things. In a similar vein I wish people interested in China do not just stop at knowing the terrible human rights situation and its increasingly authoritarian regime, but actually learn more about the shift of its regime since 1949, the more subtle parts of the ideology of the party (the ostensible resemblance to 1984 style "doublethink"), etc., which imo would provide much better insight into China than what is on HN.
I thought all that was common knowledge.

A social movement with a bus factor of one is no movement.
That's a good point, but I for one don't necessarily think that it is a given that serving power to all people, no matter where they choose to live, is automatically "the public good."

If the cost of maintaining and delivering service per capita to less dense areas is too high, it might be in the public good increase prices to those areas or stop service.

Hi. I have been there. The problem is overwork !
Solution steps:
1- VACATION and DAY OFF once in a while.
2- Leave early every day for a while when you start to feel stressed. Pause each 40 minutes at work.
3- Don't let people put pressure at work.
4- Quit alcohol and other substance.
5- Wake up early and sleep early.
6- Do windsurf or other high adrenaline sport.
You might end up fired or losing a contract, but you’re not going to end up in jail. In South Park’s case, there’s a very slim chance that the creators will lose their contracts—they’ve been doing this for a long time.

Germany in the prewar period had the second-largest domestic economy in the world:

China is still second in the world by nominal GDP, although they're closer to us now than Germany was then.
With good reason, too. A good portion of the Native Instrument software packages won't install because the installers themselves rely on 32-bit helpers. A savvy technical user can work around it by unpacking and excising the problematic portions from the installer scripts.

On the plus side, I've been running Kontakt 5 along with lots of other audio software since 10.15 beta 3 every day and most everything is working alright.

Some other observations:

• Pro Tools' QuickTime video plug-in prevents it from launching because it's a 32-bit only subprocess meant to interact with the now-defunct QuickTime framework. You can delete the plug-in from the application bundle and it will proceed and seems to be working normally.

• EastWest has a nasty crash in PLAY 6 that can be worked around temporarily by removing their internal word builder plug-in.

• Pretty much every iZotope plug-in as of September had a 32-bit non-pkg installer. The software works fine if you copy all the relevant parts from an install on another computer.

• MOTU hardware drivers for anything but the latest Pro Audio line won't work as the drivers are 32-bit at the moment (MIDI interfaces, CueMix-based audio interfaces).
That visualization is awesome! Everyone try it. You can easily zoom in and our and rotate in any of the 3 axis. It's amazing to see how far away these 'new moons' are from being in the same plane as the older, larger moons.

Moons generally orbit on the same plane as their planet's orbit plane
I am really only concerned about these issues as they affect my country, The United States.

Different nations have different ways of doing things. The policies that they have in China might indeed be the best thing for them. But the only time I care is when American corporations start trying to do that.

I can not disagree about the Uyghur question. The melting pot policy is stupid and must end anyway because it will fail, as we are seeing in Europe. Hopefully it will burn itself out before too much damage is done. I actually feel guilty that these stupid immigration/integration concepts have been exported to other countries.

Calls within the United States for censorship are just flimsy pretexts for consolidation of power, and actually I think are less sincere than Chinese efforts for harmony. Mass shootings and other evils would not be significantly hampered by censorship. People saying that the internet has caused the rise of extremist terrorism are absolutely wrong. Just the last few weeks they kept going on and on about chaos that would happen from the Joker movie. It is nonsense. It is very hard to connect things said on the Internet to any real world deaths here. But I can see how in less stable countries, rumors and misinformation could lead to real problems. Maybe in a place like Indonesia or The Philippines they should censor misinformation, when there is a very real chance of conflict breaking out.

Actually having a vital utility in private hands is a guaranteed recipe for getting service that is optimize for making the most profit rather than providing the best value.

You might be lucky in the honeymoon period where the company is still getting entrenched, but once that is over and getting them out again is not that easy, you will gravitate to minimal service, especially in areas that require investment, and being bled dry and fleeced for wathever they can.

Large risks that would require preventive maintainable or modernization to mitigate will be ignored as the company knows they will be bailed out should it come to that.

And all this because of the neoliberale dogma that the private sector is somehow always 'better' than the public sector.

In reality large. organization of equal size have the same efficiency problems, regardless of them being public or private sector. And before you point to a leaner small private champion in a competitive field you should systemically add the cost of the dozens or even hundreds of competitors they are 'beating'.

The advantage you have when things are not in the hands of the private sector is that you can prioritise ongoing quality and value of service provisioning over maximisation of short term profit extraction.
Daje V, this is so interesting
Read the judgement. It makes it very clear why that introduction was insufficient. For starters his girlfriend wasn't following his channel, and his channel was explicitly claiming to publish grossly offensive things.

That you don't think it can be construed as hate speech is up to you, but the job she set out very clearly why the bookending he did was insufficient. Not least this is because he himself kept making it clear in multiple contexts that he knew it was grossly offensive, and so fell afoul of the law.
"Poi-all-up" is what I've typically heard after leaving the area for school.

True story, I worked at the South Hill Mall.
I grew up in the South and ate at little hole in the wall BBQ places all the time. Never saw any outright discrimination. Many establishments were owned and and operated by black people. I must say cuisine is one of the few uniting features of the south. The racism is still there, but it is quieter, subtle, and behind closed doors most of the time. It’s very sneaky and many people miss it.
Kevin Redwine: Inference Rules Plus Proof-Search Strategies Equals Programs (2009). http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.152....

In the programming-language community many authors communicate algorithms through the use of inference rules. To get from rules to working code requires careful thought and effort. If the rules change or the author wants to use a different algorithm, the effort required to fix the code can be disproportionate to the size of the change in the rules. This thesis shows that it is possible to generate working code automatically from inference rules as they appear in publications. The method of this generation is found in the combination of two domain-specific languages: Ruletex and MonStr. Ruletex formally describes inference rules; MonStr connects the rules to an algorithm. Ruletex descriptions are embedded in LATEX, the language that researchers use to publish their work, so that the author commands complete control of the rules ’ appearance. Moreover the generated code enjoys several nice properties: Existing code written in a general-purpose programming language can interoperate with Ruletex code, correctness of rules is decoupled from performance and termination of code, and implementations are conceptually simple, consisting only of λ-calculus with pattern matching. The main technical contribution of this work is the design of MonStr, the executionstrategy language used to form an algorithm out of rules. MonStr specifications provide an important guarantee: a valid strategy cannot affect partial correctness, although it can affect termination, completeness, and efficiency.
I'd put it like this:

Councilwoman Sawant is a single city councilperson; she isn't a majority of city government (who are mostly pro-business) and definitely isn't representative of the state as a whole, which is pretty purple. Outside of Seattle, especially on the east side of the state but also in some of the smaller metro areas, folks tend to be extremely libertarian. (Not to say there aren't libertarians in Seattle as well, it just skews left of the state average.)

The Seattle metro is a weird microcosm of the state in that it's so vastly bigger than any other metro in the state. Seattle and surrounding metro have about 4 million of the state's 7.5 million residents. So yes, Seattle has a big influence, but it's far from the only voice in Washington.
I appreciate this feedback, I'll keep it in mind for my future comments.

Likely this would have led to every other sync partner conflating the two records. I doubt they built support for "changing primary key" into their system, and even if they tried, once ID 1 meant two things depending on the time of the change, a 2-way sync can't be relied upon (since the timestamps might conflict).
