My own resentment with superhero movies started with "The Avengers" (2012). Joss Whedon made the excellent space adventure Firefly and the even better "Dollhouse". Both series were intriguing, leaving you something to think about.

"Joker" was good however, and "Black Panther" was fun (there may be a few others I haven't seen).
If this is your project, consider submitting it to Show HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html
Yes, I am. That is what made me wonder, why would you go for one or the other? What would it be the feature that makes you tip the balance towards one or the other?
Even though all that is true, in reality our output of CO2 is still increasing.

The scientific problems that remain are so far away from our current effort that the question of whether it's the last 10% or last 50% is almost irrelevant.

I partially agree. It's not feasible to expect the patent examiner to reduce a technology to practice, primarily because a lot of physical technology requires very expensive equipment and some skill to master (chemical vapor deposition chambers for thin films for instance). The ownus should be on the applicant. However, it is certainly feasible for an inventor to demonstrate a working prototype for each claim. Based on the number of rediculous awarded patents I've reviewed over the years, I imagine simply requiring demonstration will probably reduce the number of patent applications by 90%.
I picked a 4K. It works just fine for everything. Easy to read, more than two "regular" monitors worth of screen space.

The only downside was that games couldn't max out on it, even with good specs and Gsync. That might be where ultrawide does better.
It's easy to stick with something when it's working for you:

The real test of brand loyalty it staying with them after a few bad experiences.
A lot of modern software is unfortunately following this trend. As companies outfit developers with higher end systems including NVME SSDs, performance issues from inefficient I/O patterns are hidden during development.
Switched for same reason but now Lyft is being a bit shady. Changed my home address and credit cards won’t work. Gabe then PayPal, insists on “verifying” my home address with another credit card. Why do you need it? I thought PayPal was the middle man so I don’t have to tell you these details I find privileged information.

Also had trouble getting support- no way to contact them.

That's a 108% increase in a century, which is a relatively short time in historical terms. Imagine the damage to the planet with double the current human population. This could be around the corner, historically speaking.
That's exponential.
It is amusing to imagine the neural network mind growing advanced enough to realize that to help it level up in clarity of thought and communication, it needs to develop a system of automatic symbolic logic...
I bet that still then you will only hear: "it's just a couple of miles near the coast, it's not the end of the world. It's not that bad."
> [NT] was the first NT-based OS targeted on desktop computers

In the mainstream home computing sense, yes. But it wasn't the first NT-based OS to target desktop computers. Windows 2000 had a few desktop releases and was even available pre-installed in some high street computer stores. Also NT4 did have a "Workstation" release specifically for desktop computers albeit that was aimed at businesses.

Prior to NT4 I don't think there were separate desktop/server releases of NT but it did have enough software to run as a desktop if one wished. Though I think those people might have preferred OS/2 or Windows 3.1 instead (or a non-IBM PC; because there were plenty of options back then)
Interestingly there is 1 white woman per 9 people of color on that page. Obviously, marketing the tool as accessible is a good thing, but doesn't this negatively resonate with common blue-collar folk as being a buggy half-baked corporate thing developed by H1B Indians? I don't have any negativity against anyone here, but it feels to be a taboo topic which is not touched or discussed, and I'd like to get some perspective on how it is perceived by people.
> Do you really think "computer geeks" just hold them all in their heads, and then assume that since they can do that, it must not be difficult?

No, but I think a group of geeks could. However a group of biologists cannot explain a biological system in full. When I say a computer system can be understood in full, I mean that human knowledge encompasses the working and programming of the machine, not that one person could know every detail. This is not the case for biology, as there's plenty we don't know.

> Otherwise, you could just as well say that a biological system can be understood from the atoms on up, since quantum theory provides a complete understanding.

It really doesn't provide a complete understanding for biology anymore than it does for sociology. It's not possible for humans to reductively explain such fields in terms of physics. No one can even prove this is possible. But it's not a complete understanding for physics either, since there's Relativity and questions about quantum gravity and dark energy.
Someone here once posted that they realize that it has little to do with work, but they don't have time to test work related things. Plus candidates hate coding challenges. So the algorithm is the closest to it.

It has a lot of false negatives, but companies like Google have so many candidates it doesn't matter.

I liken it to military push ups. Someone who can do a lot of them also has good enough physical strength to do all kinds of physical work.
Wernher von Braun describes the space station (1955)
I realized that everyone needs a base level of algorithms knowledge to write and design good software. Ideally it is pretty basic (leetcode easy), but the initial employees at FAANG companies decided to have a hazing ritual by creating increasingly complicated questions (e.g. leetcode hard) and it is exacerbated by a large number of kids from universities who mindlessly play this game. It spread to all other tech companies too and the process is just destructive.

I don't see an end to this. Its as if all companies expect people to be competitive programmers, and they optimize only on one parameter :/
> Today, we don't have a way to fully move off of fossil fuels.

If we are talking just electrical grid power then Sweden is 95% there on a mix of nuclear and hydro.

Edit: I acknowledge that hydro only works if the geography gods have been extremely kind.

And to be fair, the trope does have inverted instances as well, but again it seems to me to be uncommon:

> I asked for the most notable movies and shows.

And I ask god for a golden leprechaun every night, but that doesn't mean I'll get one. As a show of good faith I've spent some time researching an answer to your question, but just because you've posed a question doesn't mean you're entitled to an answer fulfilling your criteria.
Tricolon is punctuation (like the dash) while triple colon operator is a mathematical symbol (like a minus).
One Problem is that parents will try and get into the GT schools by hiring some tutor to help them prepare. The reality is that some of these kids arent really gifted and talented and doesent learn easilyy which actually makes their lives horrible when they mannage to get in.
Yeah, after all mob rule > rule of law, at least nowadays.
Ask HN: Do you have experience with school bullying?
In the last hour a few HN threads came to my attention [0][1][2], from which it seems that the overt kind of bullying that is known from movies and television series is actually a real thing. I am talking about repeated physical abuse from peers (but if somebody has deeper insights about bullying in general, I would not mind hearing about that too), because that is the thing that I thought mainly existed on TV.

If you have witnessed or, especially, suffered from bullying; I would like to read about it, at what education stage did it happen and where it happened. The last part is because my first thought about the beatings being real was that it is something that is exacerbated in USA schools.

As for my own experience (since I am asking others about it, I feel obligated to share my own experience); I was a socially inept introverted kid with little confidence and an outsider who could not really connect with other kids (and quite an annoying little prick, as I understand now), but despite those circumstances I was not repeatedly beaten (although a troublemaking kid that was shortly in my school during the lower education stage once tried to beat me up with two other people from my class, they failed). In high school there was even less bullying.

Now, I may have been lucky, it is possible that my schools were uncommonly nice ones in Croatia, and the fact that I was encouraged to stand up to beating attempts (on me or my friends) after reading the "Ender's game" (because of Ender doing the same ...); but really my understanding is that beatings do not happen in Croatian schools as described in those threads. Is it because of the Croatian nondemocratic socialist government heritage? Or is it an European thing? That is why I am asking this question.

Per capita including trade or nationally including trade would make far more sense - many aspects are supra national.

The developed world's multinationals relocated much of our emissions to the developing world by putting manufacturing over there, where there are fewer environmental and labour protections. Much of China and India's emissions are really the UK's or the USA's as they're now making our T shirts and electronics, scrapping obsolete ships and electronics or burning our plastic recycling.

Reuters having started off spreading radical pamphlets is about as relevant as Hitler being involved in the development of Volkswagen.

Nobody in charge needs to (or even can) decide if something like globalism or communism is good or bad, just that no obvious lies are spread while discussing it.
No, never did it for a living (did consult for some over the years) and this sort of ad hominem nonsense pointed towards people who know what they're talking about is why we can't have nice things.
What I meant by 'offloading' the responsibility is that building a GDPR compliant system can be cumbersome. For example, imagine you run a Wordpress blog (I am a bit outdated here, this may have changed in recent releases), there is no path for me to get all the information you have about me (for instance, all the comments done with my e-mail). If you keep server logs with IP addresses, building a system that gives me that information is also cumbersome. However, if you outsource those needs (for instance, to GA), and they do have GDPR compliant systems in place, then you have offloaded the responsibility of keeping these services in-place. Being GDPR-compliant is an added value for SOME solutions, it is up to the user to check whether GA is compliant or not.

Regarding the risk, I think the debate should go over what are you doing with your client's users data, giving it away to Google? Is it truly necessary? It is not only about risking a fine, is about being aware of what privacy means and what is it important.
The jet engines are versions of the EJ200 that were used in the original development of the Eurofighter. If I understand correctly, they're still owned by the Ministry of Defense, but they're no longer suitable for combat use. They were loaned on condition that Bloodhound runs a initiative to foster interest in science and technology in schools, and the original Bloodhound programme was very effective in that sense. I don't know what the current deal is since bankrupcy and the buyout last year, but I'm pretty sure Ian Wakehurst wouldn't have invested if the MoD hadn't agreed to the continued use of the engines.

One of the complications of using the EJ200 is that the engine's own control systems assume the engine is in a Eurofighter. So the car control systems need to pretend to be a Eurofighter, as they can't modify the engine's control systems.
It does change the way we culturally view the practices relating to privacy though.

I think a lot of the net effect of legislation like GDPR, can be viewed through the lens of 'in essence'. Ultimately, it's setting in place a culture where companies need to think twice before monitoring users without consent.

The smaller companies are more likely to build their companies with a view to good practice, while the larger companies can be brought closer to an acceptable line through punitive measures.
Pizza delivery happens all the time in unclean vehicles, same with DD, GH UE, and all other third party food delivery.

My hunch is this has much more to do with franchise laws and boundary enforcement.
I know it is powerful, the questions is whether the OP is actually using them, or just server logs are enough. For a personal website, sometimes there's no need for too much info.
Doesn't mean it's wrong per se - depends on particulars of regulations being pushed for. Competitors aren't a force of good, from customer POV. They're as likely to introduce beneficial innovations as they are to cut corners and externalize costs to improve their competitiveness. The latter is undesirable. Would it be better for relevant regulations to exist before the incumbents became what they are? Sure. But even late regulation is better than no regulation.

Not all competitors are SpaceX. Many are Uber.
Yes! So is my home province (http://live.gridwatch.ca/home-page.html). No point in investing in solar and wind here (but we still do because it makes people feel good)

Hydro and geothermal is great if you have the right geography. Nuclear works everywhere.

Places that achieved this level of carbon-free emissions always have a mix of some or all three technologies, like my province, Sweden, Costa Rica, France, and unlike Germany (which doubled down on solar and wind and Russian natural gas).
Ashes Ashes: The Golden Age of Piracy
For a lot of people, what they see on Social Media is reality.

A good example is this recent thread from Reddit for a screenshot from Facebook about a guy who was arrested and named in the media. The screenshot claims the poster is with the guy and that he was 'Released Without Charge!' - https://old.reddit.com/r/ireland/comments/dm4lda/came_across...

Lots of anger in the comments about the media, lots of sympathy for the 'poor' guy, lots of comments saying he should get a lawyer, sue the newspapers etc.

The problem is the screenshot was bullshit. He wasn't released without charge at all, he has since been charged and is looking at 10+ years in jail, but that one screenshot from Facebook was all it took for people to be convinced, and not just in cyber-space, but in the real world.

I'm from the same part of the world, and remember going into work the following day to find people talking about the 'poor guy', and expressing anger about how he had been treated, etc, because of that one screenshot doing the rounds.
I'm fully aware of that. What I would like to know is the mechanism that links Dai in any way to USD. So far, I've been told the onus on me is to research it, and then that my conclusions from that research are wrong.

I don't think it's clickbait. Sure, you can tell me it's some weird character I've never heard of. But I already knew that from the title! Failing to use the name of something in a title, when basically nobody knows that name, is not a bad thing.
"Catastrophic climate change" is not a binary thing where you either have it or you don't.

We'll almost certainly have catastrophic climate change. It will still make a huge difference if we try to limit it as much as possible or if we just go on without caring.
Err, no it isn't, it's 100% in approximately 66 years. It's compounded growth.

I was specifically speaking in the context of Duke's programs; there are plenty of ways for people to try and recover from things elsewhere.
Oh, right. I knew the "eventually must" rule, but missed the implication.
Remember that you aren't their focus group. Their focus group are people with little to no knowledge of computers, and these services actually help.

That being said, how often is system update happening for you that its really a problem? It's a point that I see being repeated over and over, but I don't think I've had any interruption at all from system updates, beyond windows doing the occasional update before power down.

And also about the housekeeping activities -- Why would it continuously seek? Beyond fragmenting, indexing or defender scanning your files that shouldn't be happening, and I don't think I've ever had that be a problem...
But that still doesn't explicitly state anyone is denouncing anyone else. People will often vocalise a disdain for a product without denouncing other people who use said product.
The taxes for this would be incredibly simple, anyone could do it with a spreadsheet Keep track of what you buy and sell.
> For the past 25 years there has constantly been at least one tech company which is perceived in techie forums as so bad that it's incredible anyone would voluntarily use their products.

> Those companies have been Microsoft, Apple, Google, Facebook and Amazon.

That's a great point. I'd add IBM to that list and the time frame would reach back to 35 years.
The source I provided shows that the growth rate has been consistently dropping. In 2015,2016,2017,2018 it was 1.19,1.14,1.12,1.10

Not sure you can extrapolate out 100 (or 66) years when there's been a 0.11% (1.19 -> 1.08) change in the growth rate in just the last 5 years.
I respect what he's doing, but I'm not totally clear on why he expects people to donate for him to buy a van? I get it when people ask for help with medical bills (well, I'm in the UK but I sympathise with them), but he just wants a bigger vehicle? Save up your donut money and buy it dude!
So what is your solution to overpopulation?

Which would also likely be perfectly legal under GDPR, assuming the phone number was given freely to you, we can reasonably assume informed consent.

As it's really hard to use a phone number for anything else than phoning someone, we can also reasonably say that the data is only used under the originally stated purposes.

And then the phone number is not shared with the public, but stored at a secure location (fridge) having organizational (family rules) and technical (locked doors, windows) policies in place to secure the information.

Given the required security level for a __single__ phone number I would say this would be a reasonable level of caution.
Mandatory for flying drones weighing at least 250g.

Coincidentally the new DJI Mavic Mini is listed as weighing 249g... I expect to see plenty more of small drones optimised to not exceed the threshold.
Here's why they aren't "useless":

They force people to think about what they're doing, talk about any problems they're having (so the group can help), and keep everyone apprised of what else is going on.

It's literally what the 3 questions are for, and it does it admirably. In a previous company, we followed the "Agile" rules for "standups" very strictly, and it worked for us.

And here's why a truly "agile" (not "Agile") version of standups is great: Our company uses it to socialize as well. We get the business part of the "standup" (we don't stand) out of the way and then spend some time socializing for a while.

We were already doing this for a couple years, but now that one of our team is 100% remote from across the country, it's our best chance to socialize with them and keep the team close-knit.

And it's working.
And then you get people complaining about being asked to provide additional details. You can find some of them in this thread.
I once read it is a form of ageism because older people, in general, don't have as much time as young people due to family to study for those interviews.

Absolutely no idea if that is true but I think it is an interesting thought.
I looked at the lighter weight BMW model 3 series. They were either smaller engines (not fair since the model 3 AWD is already faster), or RWD (again not fair to compare to an AWD electric).

Seems like 8% is about right to me.
What happened to the Bloodhound SSC project? I remember checking on their progress reports for a few years and the last time was over a year back. They were sounding confident of an actual attempt this year. I guess they could not sustain and have been taken over by a different management?
With the early start of 350 years, we could probably have a sizeable compendium going on by now. After all, much of human knowledge only began to be created at that time.

Maybe mathematical notation would also be established earlier―after the clerks would get tired of spelling it out.
The calculus changes significantly here given we are talking about a democracy. The group chose this person (by intention or inaction).
> You can't safely deactivate metabolic pathways at runtime in a single cell

While I generally agree with your sentiment that it would be remarkably difficult to genetically modify the brain tissue of an adult, you have no idea if your statement is true or not.

In fact, this is the whole point of CRISPR and similar forms of "gene therapy." Yes. You probably can't modify the genome of all cells in a large multi-cellular organism like us, but there may be ways of modifying selected/important tissues.

> This type of thinking stems from a lack of familiarity with biochemistry, the molecular biology of genetics, and cell physiology.

This is not warranted either.
We were looking for a chat for students and mentors and found one
I remember reading something where they explained that cultures where they kept the grandmothers around tended to have better outcome for both the mother and the baby when their daughters gave birth.

It isn't really surprising, when you think of it, and it's probably just one of many examples where aging better, past child bearing age, improves the chances of a lineage.
