A competition akin to a new space race is under way between the United States and China, evident in the rush to blanket the earth with thousands of small satellites that provide everything from high-speed communications to high-resolution intelligence. New space-based capabilities will be central to how militaries command and control their forces. Even more than today, future kill chains will flow through space, enabling militaries to distribute the process of understanding, deciding, and acting across large networks of systems rather than depending on single platforms to close the kill chain on their own. The result will be a dramatic expansion of "time-sensitive targeting": the ability to find moving targets, track them, and strike them before they have moved away.

The proliferation of satellites, however, is only the beginning of the new space race. Spacecraft have always been limited by the impracticality of refueling them. They have only as much fuel as they could carry into space, and when it is gone, they cannot actively propel themselves any farther. This has restricted spacecraft to orbiting Earth, but emerging space technologies are changing that.

These technologies are being developed now. In the coming years, it will be possible to service, assemble, and manufacture complex orbital infrastructure in space that would be impractical to launch from Earth. This could include vast space-based solar power arrays to capture more of the sun's energy than is possible on Earth, where our atmosphere absorbs or deflects it. Power-beaming technologies will transfer that energy around space. Space-based mining technologies could extract ice from the moon or asteroids, utilizing the underlying oxygen to fuel rockets and support human life in space. The means of production to support space operations will increasingly shift off Earth and into orbital bases and perhaps onto the moon, where spacecraft and other critical space infrastructure could be produced using 3-D printing and advanced manufacturing. It sounds like fantasy, but it is not.

In time, space will be transformed into a unique warfighting domain, and this will inevitably have military applications. Space operations in the coming decades will come to resemble maritime operations in the nineteenth century, when industrial age great powers built global networks of coaling stations and other infrastructure to project naval power in defense of their expanding commercial interests. A similar dynamic will occur in outer space, and the two states that will most shape humankind's spacefaring future will be China and the United States. It is hard to imagine their strategic and military competition will remain confined to Earth.

I clicked the HN link to your comments. I couldn't quickly find studies, just a mention of Korea having success with KN94 masks. I think it's safe to repost them now without being repetitive.
Interesting! I use miniconda extensively for local development to manage virtual environments for different python versions and love it. I hardly ever actually use the conda packages though.

I assume the main benefit of using these images would be if you are installing from conda repos instead of pip? Otherwise just using the official python images would be as good if not better

Edit: I guess if you needed multiple python versions in a single container this would be a good solution for that as well
It's like something The Culture might produce on a GSV that's gone Eccentric and the crew just goes along with it.
I’d expect the opposite. Taxis are just as regulated as they always were, and new rideshare services have the same higher barrier to entry as Lyft and Uber.

> I think the events at those meetings are more about the joy of the gotcha than anti-racism versus non-racism. It just feels good to catch someone out, to be the one who sees it first. Like most pleasures it has addictive power.

Relativity implies that a moving clock experiences less passing time than a resting clock (relative to an observer). The "slowness"-factor gets higher the closer you get to light speed, reaching infinity (i.e. impossible) precisely at light speed.

In the example the one twin travels to a distant star with an appreciable fraction of light speed, thus ages slower. Then, the twin travels back, again with an appreciable fraction of light speed, and still ages slower.

This is basic relativity theory. Maybe I understand the article wrong, but from what I read I understood that the twin should somehow "catch up" on his travel back.

I'd love to be corrected.
Not sure what you mean. If I want to clamp 1 between 2 and 0, the most reasonable answer is 1, which is correctly returned by this code.

I kind of think we'd have to poll the recipients, not the author, for that sort of analysis.

I find myself trimming down lengthy emails frequently. Not because the information is excessive or irrelevant, but because I know most people in most contexts tend to not read or engage with lengthy emails. Myself included.

Why do you pay for car insurance just because someone is driving recklessly? ;)

Also: as you correctly pointed out, the US spends more on healthcare than any other country. But people in those countries pay for obese people, too. And still...

Healthcare is a complex problem which should also include solutions for crazy amounts of sugar in American foods and drinks, better food in schools, better access to healthy foods for low-income families etc. etc.
Oddly in Finland the full name, address and phone number corresponding to a car's registration plate is public information. But a full data dump isn't available. You must query them one-by-one for a fee of a few euros (I think).

Heads up:

[1] This is a project I've been working in about a year now and is an honorary successor to a similar project a friend started.

You can read in detail how it works at https://imnotanerd.herokuapp.com/3.

Basically it takes data from the API at globalforestwatch.org that uses satellite imagery to gather area of potential forest loss and paints it in a map to make it easy to imagine.

There is no consideration about forest regrowth. This bot does not track forestal area changes, it tracks deforestation.

[2] I'd like to get some community feedback. The bot has now been running for quite some time and it looks like now it works with consistency (The GFW API data is not reliable when recently published).

Mainly I'd like to see how this bot can be improved regarding the data treatment and the display of it, as I still think the maps, despite being accurate, are a little "underperformant" and could be improved.

[3] Yes. I posted this twice, I forgot to put "Show HN" in the title the first time and I realised too late. Now I can't edit nor remove the previous submission.
I don't know about the case details, but Brigate might argue that Citibank paid Revlon's debt. There is nothing stopping you from clearing someone else's debt. It is as easy as doing a bank transfer.

Unjust enrichment argument would be much stronger if Citibank did not have any involvement with the parties. For example if I send my money to an account numbered 100001 but I intended to send it to 1000011, I could argue that I don't know the account holder 100001 and I sent the money by mistake.

Classical contract law is a byzantine beast, and it does not take mistakes lightly. Brigade might have thought that they secured an interest-free loan and want to use it. This would undermine Brigade's credibility and completely mess with their relationship with Citibank. But they might have thought what the hell, we get free financing.

They also might be holding this as leverage against Citibank, if Citibank needs those funds urgently, they'll have to settle.

"Hate speech" is a legal concept that has to do with protecting human rights; Reddit's "hateful content" is just the rules they put in place to try to make their website less shitty. There's no reason to expect them to be identical or even closely related to each other, is there?

I don't think its perplexing at all, the larger the increase of ride sharing services the lower the usage of public transportation[1]. Alot of the SF traffic is not people commuting in from other cites and taking Uber/Lyft to do so. These people by and large take caltrain/muni/corporate shuttles. People that drive in using their own cars would not use lyft/uber due to cost of these services. The problem with lower public transit numbers is its starving services that are essential to lower income folks and are a greener alternative to thousands of ride hailing drivers from out of the area driving into urban areas clogging the streets.

I guess this is a backwards-compatibility breaking change, but Apple Silicon is a new platform so there's nothing to break, all new binaries will have it from the start.
Corporations don't sign the apps they run on company-owned computers all the time. This isn't going away unless Apple wants to dump the very valuable business customers. You don't need to worry.
The work is in proportion to the amount of documents that are retained today. The reason why Rome and Greece are "popular" is they determined intellectual thought from the fall of the Western Rome until, probably, humanism (some one millennia later) so much of what they wrote down has been retained (or, more accurately, wasn't destroyed).

As an example: we know Carthage was a huge civilisation...until Rome razed it so we have no real idea today what ancient Carthage actually was like apart from that it was significant enough for Rome to burn to the ground.

Also, talking about "Europeans" is indicative of a total misconception of history in the period. Rome was a Mediterranean as much as a European one (north of Rome wasn't Europe as today, it was just a bunch of tribes). Many important figures that, ironically, people today say are examples of an over-emphasis on "Europeans" were Africans. Augustine being the best example, basically founded the theology of the early Church, he was a Roman but he was (in today's terms) also African. In short, trying to read the present back into the future is not smart.

I don't think that changing driers to employee status will necessarily give them health benefits. I'm not an expert, but while ERISA generally requires uniform benefit options for all employees in a similar class, the companies could chose to not schedule the drivers as full time employees, use contract labor services, raise the employee contribution to unaffordable level, etc. Many companies with large numbers of employees have large fractions of their employees without health insurance (Walmart, for instance).
> unintuitive division

Arguably worth it. Dividing 1 by 2 with "1 / 2" and getting 0 is a real 'wat' for novice programmers. And the workaround is a 'wat' for experts: instead of using a floating point division operator, cast one of your parameters to float.
Well, now you need to ad-hoc sign the app with the codesign tool, or compile it yourself. You cant simply right-click to open as you can at present.

"the current fad of 'Europeans are all racists and didn't appreciate a Black civilization', which is of course wrong."

The leaders of European nations fed and feed their populations large amount of misinformation about who they are and who people outside their borders were. If a monarch was chosen by god, how could the greatest structures in human history not be in Europe? The answer was to whitewash as much as possible.

You see this in the restoration of art for the last few centuries, many brown/black pieces turned white all of sudden. Some claim this was unintentional, but if we look at how Africans have been treated for the past 500± years, that claim seems suspicious and sounds more like ass-covering when the fraud was revealed.

I expect this exposing of fraud to ramp up as automated translation allows us to compare notes between the great civilizations of human history.

The fact that Uber and Lyft had a model that relied on not paying people for the time they are working but not accepting rides is kind of the point.

That's good because that way they can pay for their car insurance, health insurance, pension, gas, car maintenance, self employment taxes, frequent car cleaning, &c.

You can prove that this algorithm works for both of those cases. Assuming min <= max:

If a < min, then the sorted array is [a, min, max].
The median is min, which is a clamped to min.

If a > max, then the sorted array is [min, max, a].
The median is max, which is a clamped to max.
Wow, thanks for the pointer, had no idea about this. They have an app that looks like it could be so cool if they opened it to other people to use as a platform.
