How is it an economic threat when the US had the f-106 which was superior and flying sooner?
Until we can create a copy of our own universe, I don’t think people will stop. It’s possible that in this pursuit we’ll keep discovering higher and levels of understanding or in other words that more answers will always lead to more questions.
That's true. If you tried Control-H, you'd get a lead. Unless of course that was mapped to your main backspace key, which sometime happened in the bad old days.

As to why Control-C doesn't just exit the editor, I suppose it was generally considered to be a bad idea. And in the case of emacs, it might take five or ten minutes to restart. :-)

(It's worth noting also that GNU emacs ran on many platforms, some of which for which Control-C was not any kind of "kill my process" character.)
The concept of identity might change as well.

If your biological brain is you (to you only), then a digital copy is not you, it's a clone of you.

Also then, the only immortality we can hope to achieve is through those head jars so famous in Futurama.
I read the first few chapters as they came out and didn’t think I learned anything new or saw new insights. I have been a bit cautious with how much time I invest in the subsequent chapters. Sorry to have upset you!
Refresh rates on eink are generally poor. But it seems uncommon to worry about Hertz or frames per second, because the advantage of low power usage disappears if they are refreshed at anything approaching "realtime".

For applications which need fast refresh rates and characteristics like good readability under sunlight, transflexive LCD displays seem to be more popular and economical.

Remember, eink works by physically moving 'ink' particles within each pixel using a magnetic field. It takes a lot of power and time compared to how quickly electronic signals usually propagate, and it seems difficult to get around that physical limitation.

I feel like the exact opposite of this. Thinking about hitting x% on the life meter makes me feel kind of depressed. Could you share your mindset behind this thought?
Reducing On-Call Alert Fatigue with Deduplication
The XF-103 was an interceptor intended to do Mach 3 [1], the XF-108 likewise [2]. Both managed a single mockup each.

The XB-70 [3] and B-58 [4] was intended to be the other end of the stick, a bomber which could carry nuclear weapons and fly at high speed (mach 2-3) and altitude (>60k feet). Two XB-70s were built, and one of those was destroyed on a PR outing for General Electric. The B-58 was operational for a decade before being replaced - the change from high altitude, high speed to low altitude, low speed compromised its range and made it far too expensive to operate; the Arrow would probably have suffered the same problem.

The UK abandoned the TSR-2 [5] for similar reasons; the 1957 Defense White Paper reckoned the time of manned military aviation was over.

Ridiculous.

Try expressing an opinion in a bar. If people like it, or if we’re persuasive, they buy us a round. If not, we get ignored at best.

Why would HN be any different? We’re all the same stuff, underneath a veneer of cheering for Tesla and Apple instead of the Leafs or Patriots.

Check my history. I’ve been upvoted, and downvoted. Upvoted is more pleasant, but we have to take the rough with the smooth.
These both look cool. I've learned some Vue in the past but I strongly prefer these kinds of small, self contained libraries for my Flask + PicnicCSS + very simple JS apps.
The scientific effort to study Notre-Dame’s ashes
I've hired my share of devs over the years, and here's the gist of what I look for. I know that I'm missing a couple of things in this list.

1) Compatibility with the existing team. The most genius dev ever is a net negative if they can't work with the team.

2) The ability to reason through a problem, including how to break large problems up into smaller ones, etc.

3) Curiosity and a love of learning new things.

4) Overall reliability. Not just in terms of showing up on time to work, but in terms of delivering on what they promise generally.

5) Logical thinking skills

6) General software development skills. Not language-specific stuff, but how programs are designed and written, ability to document, etc.

Also important is what is missing from that list: specific skillsets, such as knowledge of specific programs and languages. A good, skilled applicant will be able to come up to speed with any system or language they may not know. All else being equal, already knowing specific things is better -- but all else is rarely equal.

Testing for these things is hard, though. Generally speaking, I take a three-pronged approach:

1) Have them develop code (their choice of language, but I recommend pseudocode) to solve a sample problem. I'm not looking for the code to be perfect, but I'm looking at how they reason through the solution.

2) Have as casual a chat with them as possible. Get them talking about what they love and hate about software development, and have them tell me their biggest successes and failures. I'm looking for a few things here -- honesty (are they willing to tell me the things they hate?), passion, eagerness to learn and do new things, and so forth.

3) Have the team (or a representative from the team) talk to them and give me their impressions.

Also, if they have sample code, I like to look at it. I don't put a huge amount of weight on what they provide, though, because I know it will have been chosen to put them in the best possible light. That said, I've seen some truly terrible sample code!

I don't know if my approach is best or not, but it does seem to work reasonably well.
Furthermore, Iranians themselves make up a large share of the casualties: "Victims of the crash included 82 Iranians, 63 Canadians, 11 Ukrainians, 10 Swedes, four Afghans, three Germans and three Britons" [1].

The way the article frames it makes me think this is aimed as a hit piece against Iran, to make the public suspect them of having shot down the plane. But I wouldn't blame them not wanting to cooperate with Boeing, a US military-industrial company, right after the US assassinated one of their top officials. They probably worry the black box could be used to fake evidence.

You don’t do anything for them, you let time and the market sort things out rather than trying to engineer any kind of solution.

Just decrease the cost of becoming and practicing as a doctor and you’ll eventually get more doctors who will have to compete, and thus decrease their own fees.

What are the relevant costs? How many of them are imposed by the government?
Reading about the difficulties encountered with forward-flight of the Avrocar (which presumably is inherent in the Arrow as well), I wonder if modern computing capabilities could rescue the concept. Is there still any demand for an airframe capable of easy transition from subsonic to supersonic flight with VTOL capability?

An interface lacking discoverability is a bad interface.
i get what you're trying to say here, the parent company deserves blame, but ultimately those parent companies are only worth what their brands are worth. The reason they have generic and forgettable names like "Advance Publications" is so they can absorb the stink of corruption without it tainting their consumer-facing brands.

Putting the blame on a recognizable and valuable brand instead of a faceless parent company is the better way to get accountability. If you really want to spread the blame around, you can mention that it's the owner of Reddit and the parent company of Ars Technica, Wired and The New Yorker as well as Teen Vogue.
I think it starts with being happy with what I've accomplished in life already.

I look and I think, "wow, I've already done so much, and I'm not even 1/2 way there!"

But if you're not happy with what you've already accomplished, I can see how it would be a demotivator.

I wrote my own (minimal) library to do what intercooler does in an effort to strictly progressively enhance a UI for dynamic updates while embracing server-side templating and rendering (ASP.NET Core). I can’t believe I didn’t find this at the time! It’s much more thorough and capable than what I wrote, I’m definitely using this going forward, thank you!

I don't think that most political questions pit people's actual self-interests against each other. The biggest exception of course are some policies like affirmative action where the lines of self-interest are obvious. But for many other issues e.g. drug policy and climate change there are a great deal of factual misconceptions driving policy by causing people to think their self-interests lie other than where they are. Engaging the rational mind is usually considered important in dealing with this situation because it does better with facts.
>If you give a driver a 1-star rating, you won’t be matched on future rides.

Will this change also apply for UberEats? I can imagine this being gamed by people who don't like tipping so that they can avoid getting the same driver twice. That really sucks. Not only you don't get tipped, but you get 1-stared and your livelihood is now threatened.

Working Remotely: Pros and Cons
As I understand it, they're refrigerating air, not compressing it. If so, your calculations are entirely inapplicable. Carnot efficiency approaches 100% as your cold reservoir approaches 0 K, so it's plausible for such a cryogenic system to get very high efficiencies from an air motor, much higher than normal.
I heard the process of making decision of bee or ant colony resembles the one in mammal brain cells.

You are not emphasizing the descendants part enough. It still requires existing members of the species to propagate the gene with natural breeding, same as 'natural' genetic mutations. So if it is a gene detrimental to survival, it can still very easily die off. Which is not in violation of what natural selection would predict.
Maybe lidar could be great for training optical?
Seems like you're pretty knowledgeable on the topic!

I'd be super interested to see an efficiency comparison between the frozen air approach and the "concrete (or any other cheap, heavy thing) battery approach" For the uninitiated: the process of using excess energy to drive motors to lift/stack heavy objects tethered to a pulley. Consuming that energy is by slowly lowering them down as they drive an engine/turbine.

As a rider, I'd be equally interested in the realistic energy density between the two methods: how many MWH can you store per acre.

Thirdly, I would guess the concrete battery would require less maintenance--but I'd love to see a comparison of that too.

Thank you for your comment and getting me thinking about this.
Trump Ratings Remain Low Around the World, Views of U.S. Stay Mostly Favorable
This is my first time seeing any of these awesome libraries linked here, but for my money I just spent half an hour reading all the intercooler docs and it looks like a winner. I don’t see the benefit of Umbrella over jQuery when you take into account the browser support and libraries available for the latter, and it seems that intercooler is stimulus + turbo links but on steroids.
"I don't know. That's just the advice I've been given by people I trust."
I do like Bing's "Bird's Eye View", but I have to disagree about their Street View coverage.

Here in Colorado, for example, Bing Maps doesn't cover anything in the western half of the state, not even larger cities along the interstate, like Grand Junction. Meanwhile, Google has Streetview imagery for practically every paved road in the state, and even a lot of forest service roads in the middle of the mountains. I know that's not a big deal for most people, but it's a huge use case for me to help plan bike trips.

And Bing doesn't cover much, if anything, outside of the US.
NYT has no cancel button on your subscription, heres a workaround
I took a trip to Vegas once and met a cab driver from Somalia. I was surprised. As far as I understand you can't even get a passport in Somalia as there is no central government to issue them. His brothers and sisters and aunts and uncles probably aren't in America, but he made it. I don't think being hardworking in Puntland and being prepared to seize the opportunity and by opportunity I mean Oil Tanker that comes along really leads to the same quality of life as winning the genetic lottery to be born in a nice country and also having the fortune of being someone who for some reason enjoys working hard.

Luck is massive. Hardwork is also massive. Luck towers over hardwork, but if you want to be somewhere other than you are you better not be coasting.
FBI asks Apple to help unlock iPhones owned by Pensacola Air Force base shooter
The buyer for price labels is the retailer. The retailer's purpose for a price tag is to grab your eye and get you to buy more. If the price tag dissuades you from buying the product, that is a net negative from the retailer's perspective, and they are the ones that make the purchasing decisions on price tags.

Don't assume alignment of incentives. From the customer's perspective, the purpose of a price tag is to tell you the price. The customer isn't making the purchasing decisions for the price tags.

Not OP but where I work we hire technical writers to:

* Write external API documentation/guides.

* Clean up internal API docs written by devs to make them actually readable (without messing up the logic/examples/etc).

* Help with whitepapers (usually with the dev/ops/etc teams).

You asked if I learned the syntax from the BNF, not if I learned the semantics from it. Semantic information comes from the prose description of how each production is to be semantically interpreted, although many specifications are very lacking in thoroughness here.

On any project with more than one person (and arguably even many projects with a single person, for the you of today is not the same you of yesteryear), communication is absolutely essential. And if what you're describing is a language, than the BNF for the syntax and corresponding prose for semantics is the most effective way we know of to document and communicate that language. If instead you try to wing it and rely on examples to communicate the specification, then the resulting mess will take you several times as long to clean up as actually properly designing out the documentation would have taken in the first place--and this I speak from bitter experience.

P.S. I didn't engage with the rest of your post because I wasn't interested in writing an essay to rebut your points.
> Based on OpenVPN 3 library fork by AirVPN with tons of critical bug fixes from the main branch, new ciphers support and never seen before features

Why are these changes not being contributed upstream? It does not inspire my trust to hear these people are making "critical bug fixes" and then hoarding them without explanation. Did OpenVPN3 refuse the updates, or are otherwise dragging their feet? Or, more likely, did AirVPN decide it was more interesting/important to use these fixes as a competitive advantage / differentiator for their fork, to get people to use their client or even leave upstream?
> Whose "most projects" are we talking about here?

Go on a job board, search for React/Vue/Your-Favorite-SPA-framework, go to their website and then see if there are any features that would actually justify an SPA.

Some examples: the Airbnb website, the New Reddit, etc.
Remember that peak power is much more valuable than non-peak power (in some places non-peak renewable power has a negative value) so buying it at a discount, wasting most of it in the process, and selling it at peak time can still be economical.

Most companies that adopted MongoDB at peak NoSQL either failed or were forced to switch to a better option (NoSQL or otherwise): that was a steaming pile of crap that couldn’t be trusted with data. The people behind it were concerned with marketing and going viral and succeeded at just that, it’s only recently that the money and time has been put into making the product itself actually any good.
You're right, I phrased myself poorly. Putting the blame also on all their subsidiaries, as you suggest, is what I meant.
Seriously, people in this thread should really stop complaining about 'complexity' in the web space if they really haven't written & maintained a jQuery application. Most of JS tooling stems from 1. different browsers and 2. (the once) nonexistent module system. Until very recently, 2 didn't have any solutions (so Browserify, Webpack, Parcel, and various different bundlers exist) and 1 still doesn't (and so Babel exists).

These tools aren't the simplest things, but so is everything, everywhere. Complexity needs to exist somewhere, and using an abstraction to hide them is something natural. Do people think we shouldn't use compilers because we 'can' write binary ELF files directly? Same goes to JS.
Doesn't sound all that convenient. In truth I just want a hardware switch.
Sure - you can't tell much of a story in a single image, so you piggy-back on an existing narrative, and increase its salience and availability, while associating it with the brand target.

I'm no advertising expert, but I don't believe that brand advertising doesn't work. It's clear that Thailand is already more salient and relevant to you, but that doesn't mean that advertising for Indonesia is pointless; it's just that it's starting with fewer hooks, and it's got to reach for stories more indirectly.
When making the Inko website I saw a bunch of other language websites (e.g. D's website) use this approach, so I copied the idea. I'm glad it turned out useful :)
In a lot of cases (especially in today's modern JS and browsers) you don't need jQuery either.
> Today, I try to cease the moments

You mean "seize". Ceasing moments sound like you're a meditating monk trying to shut down any thoughts...
All digital services (like Office 365 for example) have a limited number of privileged employees that can access customer data for various reasons, such as resolving operational issues. The allowance for this access is baked into virtually every Terms and Conditions out there. Tight permissions and auditing capabilities are important, but people are exposed to this type of risk broadly, orthogonal to Ring specifically or video surveillance products as a category.

Per the article sounds like Ring took steps to tighten access in response to these reports. I don’t really see a problem with this response. I don’t own any Ring products but personally I think it is reasonable to expect that someone at Ring would have some degree of access to customer content, and I think that it is a reasonable trade off in order to have the benefits of connected cameras, automatic backups, and their Neighbors feature.

> A compressor is an analog to an internal combustion engine - in reverse

A compressor is not the reverse of a IC engine.

IC engine is a heat engine, and the reverse of that is a heat pump (not a compressor).

Furthermore, Carnot efficiency refers to heat engine efficiency.

There is, in fact, a central government of the Federal Republic of Somalia, and it does issue passports.
Tbh parceljs does make bundling a lot better to deal with. For example, how would I integrate wasm using this?
The problem is not the CDN, it's the last mile. You seriously overestimate public Wi-Fi and shit cellular networks; there are times where a simple HTTP request returning dozens of bytes of text will fail. In these moments every byte matters and personally if I'm going to make my user download 5kb of data I will make sure it's content they care about, not a JS framework.

Let's take the example of London Underground's Wi-Fi. It's only available at platforms, not while the train is travelling between stations. When the train arrives into the station it will stay there around 10 seconds. 5 seconds of those are wasted by the phone finding the network and authenticating to it, which means you've already got only 5 seconds before the train goes away and the connection drops off. During those 5 seconds you have lots of apps in the background (push, e-mail sync, background app refresh, etc) that are all fighting for around 1Mbps of bandwidth.

There's also the issue of failing gracefully. If CSS or image loading fails the browser will still display the bare HTML and the user will still have their content in a consumable format. If JS fails to load in an SPA the page is unusable and often shows just a blank screen. If SPA-initiated requests fail it's up to the developer to handle the exception and offer the user a way to retry instead of just giving up and waiting for a page reload.
The US nuclear industry had a chance at coming back from the dead but blew it. Both Bush and Obama signed subsidies and loan guarantees and plants were ordered by two utilities in the South. One project was abandoned after spending $9B the other is 2x over budget in money and time. The manufacturer, Westinghouse, was forced into bankruptcy over it.

How did AOC cause that?

Snowden discusses the issues with defense contractors and how they came to be in his book. It's pretty interesting. I'm not saying you can be sure about some guy saying something in a book, but it's pretty convincing and I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of it is true.
