Yes, mountains and continents sink into the mantle due to their weight.

Although I can't access the paywalled article, I believe they show it's related to "channel steepness", which is caused by river erosion - perhaps implying mountains could be higher where there are no rivers?

Yeah I mean it’s pure theater. For one thing, plenty of actual, authentic laptop batteries have exploded on airplanes. So the whole dichotomy between battery and explosive is false.
Aye, verbosity is an existential threat.
And in practice that is exactly what happens, as fast acting gas plants are a thing and can charge enough money to not run all the time, and still make a profit. Specifically because the margin between them and nuclear is so big.

But also nuclear has at least the flexibility to do it when needed [0]:

German Isar 2 nuclear power plant holds the record among currently running plants in adjustability. The reactor's nominal output is 1,400 megawatts, and it can be adjusted in a range of 400−1,400 megawatts, with an adjustment speed of 40 megawatts per minute. The need for this great an adjustment capacity has resulted from Germany's current energy policies.

I bet they read the uproar here.
Tabletop RPG systems have had multiple decades of being live laboratories for this sort of thing, have the benefit of stronger, sometimes more dedicated chair people (GM culture) than most parliaments/societies get a chance for, and yet have yet to solve for "Rules Lawyering" and rule exploitation/manipulating/min-maxing/etc.
Basically if it is accepted into the mainline kernel then yes, otherwise not unless people decide to install custom kernels. Distros backport a little bit, but generally don't include anything not accepted into mainline. Then there are a few popular custom kernels that include changes not included in mainline because they are not generally useful, and only make sense for specific workloads.
Hence the emergence of the middleman.
FWIW the ISE tooling was all command line driven and could be orchestrated from a makefile and controlled by a VCS. You'd lose some of the graphical convenience to monitor issues and reporting but it can be done.

HLS's problem is how to deal with assumptions about memory access and parallelism. You invariably end up coding to the tool to accommodate the limitations of C in this domain.
macOS presents a nice model where by default the computer is locked down but you can disable code signing checks to run 3rd party apps at your own risk.
Yes, that's why a wifi card being comparable to a laptop screen demonstrates how power hungry they can be.
Well I guess that's sort of the answer to the author's question about why auctions aren't used more often. The same way we (most of us anyway) wouldn't trust a company that begins with a crowdfunding campaign, selling your items at auction makes it look like you've done no market research and have no business plan. And I'm reluctant to back a company without business sense or a plan.
Nobody actually uses bitcoin in the US for anything besides investment speculation and really rare toy applications. It isn't being seen as a threat to anybody's central bank, because for all its enthusiasts and speculators, it hasn't developed into any sort of competition for the existing financial system unless you are doing something really illicit.
Why are they not the ones you want to work with?
Likely immediately for HEDT owners.

I make use of VFIO on my home Threadripper, and while it's "only" 12 cores and 64GB RAM, it's NUMA so I have to use thread pinning to keep cores on the same die so they're not reaching across the Infinity Fabric to the other memory controllers.

With better memory allocation, I could assign >12 vCPUs on performance oriented VMs or use more than half my memory without incurring a latency penalty.
"Address blacklisting" -- you just explained why governments actually DO want Libra. They will get that from Facebook. They will not get that from real cryptocurrency.
That’s fair though 10^-5 is wildly off base.

About 1/3 of drugs that show promise on mouse models are ever tested in humans. After that Oncology has a 8.3 percent success rate for 2015. So, when looking at ‘cured cancer in mice’ something like 2.5% is about the right ballpark, which I would consider promising as a general baseline.

For some comparisons the success rate in clinical trials averages around 14% though it ranges from around 33.4 percent in vaccines for infectious diseases to 3.4 depending on the type of treatment being tested. https://www.centerwatch.com/cwweekly/2018/02/05/new-mit-stud...

Baseline is harder to calculate, but 10^-8 is probably reasonable depending on what’s considered.
Except you can "side-load" apps (though you do need access to a Mac/Xcode).

No developer license needed, though it is slightly technical (but not outrageously so).
> think back to all the sh*t your mom/uncle/grandparent would load up on their Windows 95 desktop

So what. Should my computing experience be crippled because people are ignorant to security practices? Should we hold the market back because uncle Marty keeps visiting gross sites with Internet Explorer?...
which is more the reason to support them in creating such currencies. a private currency provider would open up freedom to so many people that it is only natural for governments, read : politicians, to prosecute such attempts directly and indirectly. they lost control of the message so they damn well make sure they don't lose control of the purse strings by any means necessary.

(by message I mean the internet has foiled politicians pretty much using "trusted" organizations as mouth pieces and revealed many for who they are and also prevented scandals and whistle blower stories from being buried or turned)
i think a mistake netflix has made is to encourage exclusives.

When netflix had marketshare and somewhat a monopoly, they should've pushed for laws to prevent monopolies/exclusive content (or create deals/made agreements for such). Instead, they leaned in to making content the main attraction of their service.

I want streaming service to be content agnostic, and that studios making the content are mandated to allow all streaming services to serve their content. Streaming services should compete on speed, convenience and other non-content related features. Imagine if DVD/tape players were content exclusive - you'd have to buy a differently branded DVD player different shows from different studios!
> This is strictly worse than cable (with on demand) now. We went so far we slid backwards!

What? $100/mo with ads? On demand on cable has ads, and almost never has full seasons of even moderately popular shows.
This is the most ridiculous bikeshedding I've ever seen, I'm glad he didn't cave to the ridiculous request to rename it.
The only press coverage I see about Libra is how governments are not gonna let this run and a bunch of other negative remarks (possibly drawn from the fact that this is a Facebok project which is seen as am evil company by many).

I don’t understand how is that valuable? If that’s valuable then all companies with bad press would increase their valuations. Unlike the popular saying there’s actually such thing as “bad press”.
I don't get to vote for president of Facebook.... in fact, no one does.

Not that kind of storage, hydraulic power storage. Dam / large lake scale stuff.

Off course they need cooling pools with radiators, but that doesn't require a dammed off river.
There were some hands where he made weird bluff and his hole card in graphics changed after the opponent folded. (so his hand changed from air to very strong hand) Someone said it was a bug in RFID but it happened only to him and not constantly.

I think he has an accomplice. Either someone working at the casino or with remote access to casino computers.
> But FB must be spending a lot on lobbying

That only helps them in countries like the US where bribery is legal.
If this is over public airways (like ABC) then Disney should loose their rights to that public space. Netflix should be in court yesterday over this. And the public should be up in arms over this as they are using our PUBLIC airways. For steaming fine but not on PUBLIC spectrum.
Karatsuba is still quite useful for medium-length numbers that are too short for the faster methods to be worthwhile.
There were multiple complaints on the mailing list about roaming not working on IPv4/v6 transitions. I believe it was mobile vs. wifi.
This is interesting. If we can put an upper bound on the rate (what is it?) we could rule out abiogenesis if we could lower that upper bound sufficiently.

Most here seem to reason the other way around - it must have happened, so we'll just keep looking until we figure out how. I'd like to think that we could reach a point at which we could confidently say "this universe doesn't have the probabilistic resources to make it happen" instead of kicking the can down the road indefinitely.
Being a slave to analytics can lead you to local maximums. "We have n ads. A/B testing shows we'll increase revenue with n+1." Over time you'll have more ads and less revenue.

I don't have an opinion regarding Netflix. Ironically, I cancelled it a while ago after realizing I watched more on Amazon.

Don’t work for Amazon. It’s that simple. I doubt they’re going to get forklifts to lift every 70lb box - they won’t be able to scale their business. Nor would they be able to afford paying you $16.25 an hour which you’re already not content with. I’m not defending Amazon, but the demands seem unrealistic. Let us know if WalMart is better.

I'm at the point where I'm considering rotating services every few months... HBO in the fall, Netflix in the winter, Hulu in the Spring, ... I already cancelled HBO, and Netflix is barely keeping my interest right now.
I guess that's possible, but I've bought 100s of videos and movies online and never lost access for a second. Probably bought my first one 15+ years ago. I've probably lost half my physical media and hard drives, however.
Not familiar with this, but I assume measures are taken so that we don’t accidentally share memory content between different processes through slabs? That seems a pretty straight forward security consideration.
Maybe soon the headlines will be "Paypal one of the Trustline of Stellar" :)

Don't you need at least some degree of a userland for e.g. init? Unless there's some kernel configuration setting of which I'm not aware, it'll outright panic if there's no init process, and I'm reasonably sure that happens in userspace.
Then what is definitive evidence for you? For the many criminal cases, fingerprints, DNA, and eyewitness testimony are all considered to be strong enough evidence for conviction. And all are less mathematically solid than the odds of this guy’s poker success.
Why wouldn't it help in countries where bribery is illegal?
You are not alone. I buy the physical media and then rip it for personal use. For me, the practice started when they tried that copy protection system that was little more than 'reduced quality'. Unfortunately, it meant it didn't play on my DVD. But the ripping process has jitter and error correction which means no more missed frames.

Signing up for streaming drm only content is a lose lose for me, especially when the bandwidth and speed in my country is rather dismal.
>It's a nice thought, but lets be honesty piracy is coming back for round 2 off the back of the splintered streaming ecosystem.

Movie / TV streaming & PC gaming. It's really a bummer, because I don't mind subscriptions, but I will not subscribe to everyone's.
Wait... is it normal for TV channels to show ads for competitors? (Not owned by the same conglomerate?)

Like... I've never seen an ad for Fox on CBS, or for ABC on NBC. Same as I don't think I've ever seen ads for the NYT inside of the WSJ.

I don't have a strong opinion on the matter... but is a policy against Netflix ads on Disney properties really something new and newsworthy, or just par for the course for companies in the US which compete generally?
Brother, this is a great site, don't ever change it! I liked some of your poems, and this line "fault tolerant quantum computers" Definitely made me raise an eyebrow or two.

I get that a court of law is preferable in many cases.

But the common refrain is that losing binding arbitration cases is a foregone conclusion.

That is simply not the case. Many times, you can win arbitration cases and it will cost you much less than a traditional court case would.
This "experiment" is a sham in many ways, both in design and the reporting:

* The researchers call it "guaranteed income". That's somewhat accurate, because it's $500 extra payment, no questions asked. But it's not in any way "basic income", or "universal basic income" which is how it's being reported.

* It's paid for by an organization (SEED) which claims the thing it's seeking to prove. (That no-questions-asked welfare improves peoples moods.) The result is pre-determined.

* Just 120 low-income people are receiving an additional $500/month. This is far from Universal Basic Income: No income test, enough money to survive on, and no other gov support.

* SEED is making unsupported claims about how the money is getting spent (only on wholesome, necessary items). They can't assert that, however, because they're not tracking the _rest_ of the subjects' spending. They also did not track the subjects' spending before the intervention. Thus, they cannot rule out "lifestyle inflation".

* The study methods specifically allow for 25 subjects to be used for "political" purposes during the study, for interviews on TV, etc.

please be careful in equating the two: there are decades of studies, including large trials, demonstrating benefit for lithium. It's considered gold standard treatment for bipolar disorder even in an era where big pharma pushes hard for newer and more costly meds.
there is modest and inconsistent evidence from small trials that chromium picolinate, a dietary supplement, may be beneficial in depression.
Oh, and note that chromium is more expensive than lithium too!

(edit to add: re lithium: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5947163/; re chromium, I could find one RCT with n=15 in depression)

Show HN: Tunerhub - A platform for sharing your automotive project
Hey HN!

My name is Steven and I’m an automotive enthusiast from the Phoenix Arizona area. At the time of writing I currently own a 2018 Golf GTI which I daily to and from work. I’ve done a few modifications to it, lowered it, tuned it and did some intake modifications - nothing crazy since it’s my daily but I noticed that researching modifications and build threads was not as easy as I would have liked. I can list maybe 2 builds that I was able to actually find a full thread for and even then they were either heavily out of date and/or plagued by the photobucket image blurring. I thought there has to be a better way to share your vehicle/search for other vehicles without the need to go crazy scouring google or antiquated message board pages only to find troves of posts that contain dead images.

Since I’m also a software engineer by trade, I came up with the idea for a more modern, vehicle-profile focused web-application for enthusiasts who want to share their vehicles stories, photos, parts and get feedback on their projects. Fast forward about four months and many lines of code later and I think I have what should be a decent representation of the idea I had in mind. The whole app is written using Go and Go templates since that's what I'm familiar with at the moment and is deployed to Lambda using Up by Apex. As of right now, the project is far from complete but it’s called Tunerhub and you can check it out at the url below.

https://tunerhub.com

I have loads of ideas for future additions/improvements however my question to you is - Is a platform like this something the car community wants? Could this idea rival the communication mediums that are currently in place? Is a more modern, personal, profile driven platform something that could help organize and benefit the automotive community? Please let me know what your thoughts are!

Thank you - Steven

There are no separate tools for military use. And, the mil/aero versions of the chips are usually a generation or two behind because of the extra work to make them high-reliability, produce the required documentation, etc.
Sounds like you have been lucky picking retailers for your online purchases... there have been numerous stories about retailers going out of business and taking their DRM servers offline.

Interestingly, I have never lost hard drive data in 25 years or so... I am pretty meticulous in my backups.
On top of that, most places have different tax rates depending on the product you are buying. Food or grocery or electronics could all have a different rate.

I think it possibly all boils down to our built-in instincts. We have evolved to be on the lookout for things which constitute a personal danger. (Those people who don't/can't are quickly allocated to the Darwin Awards competition.)

As a driver, a huge 20-ton truck is a very noticeable personal danger. Once seen, you make sure that you know where it is at all times when you're near enough to be 'damaged' by it.

On the other hand, a cyclist/motorcyclist, even when seen, is assessed as a 'negative danger'. That is, the cyclist is more at risk from you, rather than you from him, whether or not a collision actually occurs.

This means that a cyclist can be disregarded as a danger threat, and may be 'blocked out' to some extent. The amount of blocking out, I would expect, is a function of gradation amongst other present threats. In other words, if a huge truck is present, you're more likely to 'unsee' the cyclist.

This all happens subconsciously, and is just part of our evolution over millions of years as a species. As such, it probably means that we need to find ways to produce an 'un-natural' outcome rather than the current 'natural' situation..
