Something that really sunk in for me while arguing with people on HN is that the entire Nuclear power industry is ~60 years old and provides around ~10% of humanity's electricity [0]. Even after the effective moratorium from 1985.

It seems very unlikely that we've really run up against the limits of what physics can do for us. That is an enormous change and it isn't even a lifetime ago. One more development like that would trivially justify investment values in the trillions of dollars range. Let alone all the other stuff that is likely to happen along the way.

Theoretical limits are all very well, but I strongly suspect the rational amount to spend on it is "everything we can". If I really wanted to start a fight I'll argue that diverting all welfare spending to scientific research would probably result in a greater net good over two generations.

The code for Private.sh is open source so you can actually see what it’s doing instead of trusting it.

Don’t trust, verify :)
Self-reply but I wonder how easy it would be to use AMD's HIP tools to allow this to work on other targets: https://github.com/ROCm-Developer-Tools/HIPIFY/blob/master/R...

Tackling Covid-19: a collaborative scientific effort
Yeah these efforts always fall flat. Buttbuttination is my favorite example.
on the other hand “fûck” is not censored
If that explained it, I wouldn't be asking :-)

Or do I misunderstand that 'working for yourself' means that you have your own company and you work for customers? If you really just work for "yourself" and nobody pays you (I don't think that's what you mean, but I'm not a native speaker so perhaps I'm missing something) then I understand that you just work as much as you like. But if someone pays you, why would you work more time than you get paid for rather than spending that time on a hobby or with family and friends? Even if you're not paid/bill by the hour, I assume you can't ask a rate much higher than competitors even if you get projects done faster because customers would just go elsewhere; they'd expect you work normal hours and get it done in a normal amount of time. Or at least, that's what it seems like from my perspective but since you work more there has to be a flaw in the logic somewhere.
> That's not really how it works. People work on things they're interested in, not what they get assigned to.

You have no idea how management and funding of large-scale research projects works.
This is clickbait and will lead to a flamewar.
Personally I think this is what’s going to happen. Why put up with the limitations of our physical body? With games, TV and internet we have already disconnected from the physical world to some degree and I think this trend will just continue

> Mirrors help, video helps, we are not ourselves, once you realize that, optimization becomes much easier.

It's funny, in two of the areas I've worked in (tailoring and illustration) I was taught techniques that are analogues to this. With illustration, if you draw from a reference, one of the ways to improve accuracy is to turn the reference image upside down, which basically stops your brain seeing it as the thing it is an image of. Instead it becomes a structure of shapes, it's easier to draw. With tailoring, when cutting on a model/dummy, I was taught to continually check the work in a mirror instead of always looking directly at it -- again, I think a way to stop the brain automatically filling in structures and shapes, to force it to see the piece as a whole from a different perspective.
Perhaps bad terminology on my part but I would argue that Terraform IS cloud agnostic, it is NOT cloud portable.

You can use Terraform with any cloud. You cannot seamlessly move your AWS configuration to Google Cloud but you can still write Google Cloud configuration with the same paradigm as your AWS configuration.
As someone who's done both, I agree with the article that basically the rocket isn't big enough. Or my feeling is that the cockpit part is actually too big in relation. But it still looks like a fun kit, as someone who also loves building legos. As someone who's built the Lego Saturn V kit, that one is a lot bigger. :)
> The home country matters...but it’s an international workforce.

Given the current state of the world and the trajectory of the West's relationship with the Chinese government, it may have to be built by China if it's going to be built in China.
Six Signs of Scientism (2009) [pdf]
Not enough to offset their continuing monopoly in productivity software, but it's certainly kept me from buying a Windows device. n=1, ymmv, etc.
The fact that this is necessary at all is completely ridiculous. Thanks, but I'll just stick with Windows 7 for my Windows machine. That works and doesn't have any of 10's bullshit.
I think this article is a rebuttal of a Russian presentation claiming that rust is not faster or safer than c++ but I’m not sure, I couldn’t really follow what was going on in it
Agreed, and even if do want to use a different lambda per route, it's not as troublesome to setup as the author claims.
Wonder what the print run was on that day, lol
One more font idea:
Add words like "_rump" and "_orona" to the block-list

Do you have a source for that being the UK's plan?

Also, it'll take over a year to get a vaccine or cases to 0 at current rates.

And then you need to stop people getting into the country who have it again.
I've been trying to do PDF output, from a webpage, basically the saving the output of CMD-P and save as PDF.

Alright -thanks for the clarification!
This happens even if you're not logged in.

You can go to the ublock origin settings and from the 'filter liste' section enable the social blocking ones. Those will disable the fb/twtr/etc. buttons completely. Or, as someone else mentioned, Privacy Badger should help without completelty disabling them.
I don't follow US media all that closely, so I don't know enough to comment sorry. I think maybe you are leading to the thought that they still influence public actions through the media, and I'm sure that's true.
Then stay away from the YouTube app...
I'm happy to live in a country with such a strong social safety net as well, compared to the US (even though I don't profit from it at all being young, self-employed and unmarried...), but on the other hand I'm really concerned about our future. Someone has to pay for this and it's not like the government is encouraging people to roll up their sleeves and to learn some personal responsibility, with all the benefits they're giving for not working.
I've found this article, and the associated comments to be very enlightening and insightful. I suppose that is because almost every human alive has been touched by these disorders. What I find most interesting about the discussion on this page is that no one has chimed in with "leave it to the experts" in a manner that is usually seen in the comment section of complex social problems on HN.

How can I download this podcast?
This is a podcast aired by BBC a few years ago. Normally a download option is available but since this has been hosted for a long time, they took off the download
button, maybe some policy they follow.

Is there still a way to download this podcast?

Xfce is undoubtedly my favorite, but it's gradually adopting all the trendy crap they're strongarming into gtk. Expect full client side decorations and super huge widgets in the next release.
It’s funny that Pink Floyd were having a go at MW back on Animals — she did a good job of getting under the skin of several decades of young people apparently.
The latter. I believe there's no real consensus at this point, save for a few points, of which the minutiae require more investigation. A lot on this virus is being learned "on the go" as the situation develops.

Also, some choices made at the time were made in haste, now, like the Science blog warned about "pandemic research exceptionalism", we need to make sure that public policy is subject to the same rigorous line of thinking (an extreme example of not doing so is the bleaching of a beach in Spain), IOW no decisions simply "because it's a crisis".

Public policy and elected officials need to be aware of these unknowns when taking decisions, especially since many of these, in one way or the other, carry negative externalities.
Okay, I did it. Lego Planet is 20 (edit: actually 5) times less massive than earth.

Let's presume Lego Planet has the same density as Earth, so that the math is easy and I can make fewer assumptions. If we assume a planet with the same density, then our radius is just a function of the mass. Then all we need to do is pick a mass that lets us reach escape velocity- I presume a Deep Space Rocket wants to fully escape the planet, after all.

V_escape = ((2 * G * M) / R)^(1/2). G is constant, M for earth is 5.97E24 kg, R is 6.38E6 m.

Doing some math, if Lego Planet has a mass of 3E23 kg (20 times smaller than earth), then the radius is 2.35E6 m (a little bit bigger than 1/3 Earth's radius), and the escape velocity is 4120 m/s. The author calculated this rocket would have 4246 m/s of delta-V, so that leaves this rocket 125 m/s of Delta-V to maneuver where it needs to go.

Edit later: Okay, people have suggested Lego Planet is made of Lego (sensible). So let's fix these numbers.

According to this[0] Lego bricks with optimal packing have a density 0.64 g/cm^3, which is 640 kg/m^3 - FAR less dense than Earth, which will have consequences. If we then guessed that Lego Planet's mass is 1.25E+24 kg, 1/5th of Earth's mass, the the escape velocity is 4213.2 m/s which is close to this Rocket's delta-V.

This also means that Lego Planet is 47% larger than Earth, by radius, and has more than double the surface area (which is based on radius squared). No wonder there's so many different Lego sets!

Here's a glimpse that may change your mind about mathematics as an experimental science:

Mathematics: An Experimental Science - https://www.math.upenn.edu/~wilf/website/Mathematics_AnExper... (PDF)

> A computer is used by a pure mathematician in much the same way that a telescope is used by a theoretical astronomer. It shows us "what’s out there."

> From such explorations there can grow understanding, and conjectures, and roads to proofs, and phenomena that would not have been imaginable in the pre-computer era. This role of computation within pure mathematics seems destined only to expand over the near future and to be imbued into our students along with Euclid’s axioms and other staples of mathematical education.

The amount of people who have the means to produce a TV-series is probably smaller than those who could write a book though
I understand, there is indeed a large difference between Orthogonal and the rest in the sense that it might be technically a fantasy series instead of hard science fiction. However, the exploration of the alternate physical laws gave me the same thrill that other hard science fiction evokes. In some sense, the changed mechanics gave me more insight into physics as a whole (especially with Egan's fantastic online appendices, which might be my favorite aspect of his style).

I forgot it above, but I think Incandescence is the "our universe" counterpart to Orthogonal and it is quite good.
> It's pretty common for me to see a note from someone that's like a year old saying "this business isn't here any more". Indeed, it is not. I mean, I could add a picture (didn't realise that feature existed), but how would that help? It's a picture of a thing that's not there. Why not take the notes word for it when it was first posted a year ago?

"This place has gone or never existed" is a note from MAPS.ME generated by clicking such button in that app. But people sometimes missclick it. Or use it wrongly e.g. place exists but has slightly inaccurate position or name. Or use it on POIs they added themselves as a mistake (MAPS.ME allows adding/editing POI, but not deleting them)

If you solved as many notes as I did you would understand ;) I think that photographing something that's not there is still a valid thing. I try never to trust notes blindly, and when possible corroborate it with outside sources (no copying of Google Maps allowed, though).

> If this is some multi-verification thing, there must be a better way to present that?

Notes, their usage, and resolving are pretty free-form.
Fag##t is also not censured. It is one of the core problems: Not enough diverse people involved in those projects, and the outcome is showing that the only thing "wrong" in calling someone "f###ing fag##t n#####r" is the first word, the two other ones are "fine" or "depends on context" as other mentioned in this thread. Go thoughts and intention, but needs support on execution.

For me it would be worth more if the tool would make sure it would always have line breaks at places which enhance readability instead of only responsive to screen size. The single feature I would want from a tool as carbon is making captures of source code that would aways be super readable, no matter which device my audience reads it. The sample on an iPhone is completely the opposite breaking at my small width making a single line stretch over 4 rows, broken at random points where my screen ended.

It should smartly take my screen size into consideration and find a optimal balance between font size, line breaks and readability. I'm fine doing some small horizontal scrolling if that would improve readability. Kind of a "prettier" for sharing code automatically running when a reader reads it on any device.
It won't work everywhere. However at my job it could be "I had steak" or "I grabbed sushi". A great follow-up question: what did it cost? 3.50 to $5.

This is an amazing perk to my job. I could even list ~5 other options that were available, and talk about the other 5 places to go which offer 20+ more options.

This leads into great, where did you eat? How common is it to socialize vs go back to your office?
Not just from a business perspective. $100 a year for individual use for O365 is a great deal. Six users, 1TB per user for OneDrive and each user can use it across all of their devices - phones, tablets, Macs and PCs.

I don’t see why anyone pays the same amount for just DropBox. Not to mention that Dropbox is basically malware on the Mac.
Which is why the actual GDPR targets data collection.
I'm the opposite. Ever since I got a Kindle I've been reading a lot more books.
Chimba.
I say this because in my country the communication is very un-empathic and some prominent experts truly lack the skill, causing either denial or terror depending on who gets their message.

I'm being told that other countries carry their communication in a much more rational way, but I haven't been able to confirm this (hence the question).
>>> However I was told by my AWS account manager that auth0 was the way forward, and I agree.

What do they mean by that?

auth0 is a company that sells a variety of authentication solutions (on premise and SaaS) and a variety of authentication libraries/plugins.

For example they run the site https://jwt.io/ that anybody who's had to work with JWT tokens would have used at some point.

Ask HN: What would be an alternative to blockchain and crypto?
I feel both very enthusiastic & skeptical about blockchain.
In the last decade it has been designated by many as the way forward, some form of transactional, Internet of value & next step in business integration.
What scares me the most is no big alternative seems to have emerged in this area to compete with blockchain?
I hope I am missing something, any idea?
I think we'd be much further along if we kept our wet ware and learned how to program our existing DNA and proteins. We already have a functioning system that does what we want and a whole planet full of example code. The molecular machines even do all the work for you if you give them the right instructions. How happy would you be if I offered you functional nano technology capable of producing self sustaining macro structures from elements and energy scavenged from the environment? It's literally under our noses and almost nobody has noticed.
I think if y'all are trying to apply this to tech interviews at big companies you will be sadly disappointed. I did interviews for a company that has interviewers write feedback for a hiring committee, and I never included anything about the questions the candidate had. 100% of my feedback was about the interview questions that I asked and the candidate's answers to them. The people making the hiring decision has no way of knowing that you wore a suit, or asked me what I had for lunch, or anything like that. The information is simply not available to them. (We even tried to write feedback like "the candidate did X" so that there was no "he" or "she" to bias things.)
This is because, "the browsers messed up" (quote from the article).
>Or maybe we need to raise the global literacy rate so that we have more scientists available.

Or maybe we start paying scientists living wages so anyone who can wipe their ass doesn't end up as a quant. Speaking as a quant with a physics phd working with another 400 phds in an hft firm.

That can be trivially inferred from 110-643 (Vol. 2, p. 86) in Whitehead & Russell's Principia Mathematica.

Why not a Mac? Seems like it would tick most of your boxes.

Bizarre comment is in the plus, critical comments are downvoted. Never criticize CERN or Microsoft on HN.
I agree. I think a lot of these probability puzzles end up being "illusions of emphasis", ie., that we fail to grasp the problem because how components of it are expressed in language.

When the host opens the door and why need to be repeated several times and with lots of emphasis before asking the question. These ordinarily minor details are extraordinarily relevant, and the language used should express that.
Lol, like how when it loads you see the hidden text and then it disappears.

Another option might be better to process the text, swap out each letter with for example X — or even better a ID-key, then render the font you made.

If you used the ID-key, you could even encrypt each key, tag them by type (spoilers, swear words, personal info, etc) - though for obvious reasons that would require server-side code.

You are talking about engineering there, not science.

Science is using duct tape to explore the properties of graphene. Engineering is building a plant that can produce 500km2 of graphene a day.
That's still price gouging, it merely re-allocates the supply from those that need it to those that can pay exorbitantly.

It's not as though the wealthy have more legitimate need for the products.

This is exactly the idea of Terraform - the workflow is portable and agnostic, but the full fidelity of each individual resource provider API is exposed.
I used Windows almost exclusively from mid 2016 to mid 2018. Ads, tracking I couldn't get rid of and annoying questions on the beautiful login screens drove me back to a Mac for most things, despite the bad video card other hardware deficiencies.
Annotating on the Kindle is a real pain but looking up footnotes is quicker than a book with end notes. Highlighting is a bit slower but has the advantage that you can export all your highlights in a pdf or spreadsheet.
I don't see how that graph supports your point. It seems to be about years of life lost per death, rather than years of life lost per infection.

It's also not correct stats to bucket data this strongly as you end up assuming that the dead are a representative sample of the population in your buckets (in this case, age and number of conditions). For example, if there are two subpopulations in each bucket, one with a much lower remaining life expectancy and much higher rate of death from covid19 (fixing age bucket and number of pre-existing conditions), then you'll end up vastly overstating the numbers. (An example subpopulation here could be men/women or people with a pre-existing condition that slightly/severely complicates a covid19 infection)

I can't read the article, so let me know if the above is addressed.

Yeah, the use of 3 doors, and the bit where one is opened just kinda hides what’s happening. Which is that you’re actually choosing between one random door, or ALL the other doors.

No, but why do you need to? Just add multiple keys to all hosts.
