Pretty much anywhere that can hold a large group of people is a place you can kill hundreds.

I used to work with a guy at British Telecom who had been in the under 21 national football squad of one of the waring nations - he was drafted and lost his lower leg to a mine.

He was medevac'd to the UK and with support from a local business man did a degree at Manchester I think
I am in a similar situation with my 7 year old daughter.

What I try to do at home is find interesting projects where she has to learn certain things to complete the project.

This might include programming a robot or making a video game in Scratch.

I look for projects that teach practical knowledge. I try to expose her to other subjects like Philosophy ( Introduction to Philosophy for kids) and neuroscience ( Learning How to Learn )

Projects with electronics are some of her favorites. I think these are great because there is so much you can with these.
What you describe is actually a controversial thing.

You are describing a "naked singularity", it doesn't matter what exactly is spinning, but the theory is: anything with a singularity in the middle, that is spinning fast enough, would become a torus, and the singularity would be exposed.

Problem is, IF, those are possible (noone is sure yet), they create a huge problem for physics: as far as we know, singularities destroy information and what comes out of them is random, if naked singularities are possible, ANYTHING is possible, and if ANYTHING is possible, physics is meaningless.

Seemly in the 70s Stephen Hawking gave a mindblowing talk about that, and Ringworld author was present on that talk.
The League limits you on number of prospective matches per day and it also rewards engagement and punishes lack of engagement. There is no swiping thousands of times, and no window shopping. You get to see a certain number of matches each day and those are all the matches you get to consider. It forces people to actually connect with low time investment. Their CEO, Amanda Bradford, has some interesting presentations/interviews you can search for that talk about their design philosophy.
It's a problem that comes with economic success and SF got there first. That doesn't mean other cities aren't on the same trajectory. And the fact that it's a 19th century city not designed for cars makes a big difference.
It's not clear how the gap between solar-mass scale black holes and supermassive black holes was traversed; was it a build up from small black holes, or did they start out as seeds of a few million solar masses in the early universe? What about the dearth of intermediate sized black holes (tens of thousands of solar masses)? Is this just because they are just hard to see to begin with, or is there really a gap? This is intimately related to the Salpeter time, which is how long it takes to grow black holes if they accrete at the Eddington limit, and can also be inferred from the quasar luminosity function. IIRC this favors the massive seed scenario, but there's no shortage of clever explanations around it.
What? Passing down property has been the primary form of inter-generational wealth transfer since antiquity.

But the bigger issue is that you can't live inside of a 401k. Since housing is a requirement you might as well build wealth while you live in it. Assuming no massive disparity in monthly payments it doesn't make much sense to rent.
The first app I install in any Android device I get my hands on is NoRoot Firewall, and block (global) any offensive IPs or URLs.

Another option that annoys me (but I understand it is user friendly to have it enabled by default) is that when you install an app it automatically switches on Data and WiFi access to it (and the firewall blocks it until I allow it).

My take is that these markets can only take on China when the Chinese software is the significant player in the market, while they are non-essential for the fundamental functionality of a society. On the other hand, there are barely any significant Indian software on the Chinese market, while lots of American software provide non-replicable (at least not immediately) functionality (e.g. MatLab / Microsoft Office / Windows).

"The city of Lowell, Massachusetts actually got its start after its namesake, Francis Cabot Lowell, visited England in the early 19th century and spent his time trying to figure out how the Brits had managed to automate the process of weaving cloth. Charming his way into factories, he memorized what he saw, and managed to reproduce the weaving machine.

Hamilton didn’t just send Americans to Britain in search of the secrets of the industrial revolution. He used patents to lure immigrants with skills and knowledge to move to the United States. George Parkinson, for example, was awarded a patent in 1791 for a textile spinning machine, which was really just a rip-off of a machine he had used in England. The United States also paid his family's expenses to emigrate and re-locate to the US."

>Why would you try to poison someone with no real threat to you and risk him becoming a martyr, using a method that immediately brings you to mind, with a nerve agent that is also strongly linked to you?

They want everyone to know they did it. That's Putin's MO. Everyone knows he did it, and he knows everyone knows he did it. But there's still enough plausible deniability that it would be hard to conclusively prove. And ultimately he has his finger on the world's largest arsenal of nuclear ICBMs, so he knows there's absolutely nothing anyone can do about it. It's the same as the mafia leaving a severed horse head in your bed. It sends a message.
>invasion of Ukraine than Iraq.

>behavior in Ukraine than in Syria.

See, the thing is - Iraq and Ukraine were `invaded`. So you can actually compare the response from the other countries.

Syria is a very different story as Russia was invited there. So it is obvious why the reaction to Russian presence there is different.

Yet when the US 'enters' the scene - everything is different. In both cases.

And this is something people over here in Russia can't really understand. Why the hell bombing the hell out of Iraq was okay, but cutting off a small region in a relatively calm manner in Ukraine is not.

No, elitism or "unwashed masses" has nothing at all to do with this. It's about making decisions based on gut or based on better information.

We have news media that works far harder to promote emotional culture wars than promote information transfer, and we have people succumbing to tribalism, and that has nothing to do with whether one is part of some sort of "unwashed masses" or whether they are part of elite decision makers that control what sort of propaganda/news/media that hundreds of millions of people see.

Information isn't some sort of perfect market where people see what they like the best, it is hugely influenced by what people create and what influential people promote.

If we consider WD80EFAX [0], which is one of the suspect drives, that figure is for idle power consumption where disk is spinning but heads are not doing anything.

So, that difference is for sustaining higher spindle speeds.

The peak power requirement is 1.79A (~21.5W) which is probably consumed when starting from full-stop state (stand-by, sleep or power-off where motor is turned off).

this was at a very well-regarded private elementary school in the midatlantic US (I try not to be any more specific than this on HN, although you can probably figure out the city if you delve deep into my comment history).

I can understand teaching general rules upfront with the expectation that exceptions will be covered later (eg, teaching lower school students that water boils at 212F/100C is okay, they can learn about vapor pressure later). but why would you teach that columbus was the first european to discover north america? not only is it completely wrong, but it's not a practically useful fact, nor does it create a solid basis for deeper understanding.
Most likely not. The motors are most likely fixed speed. Even if not, the speed is unlikely to be setable through the sata interface, you would need to adjust the firmware --- and it's not usually a good idea to adjust hard drive firmware without deep knowledge.

Not in python! But I guess using negatives is the same as using different key (which is what python uses instead of comparators).

The real problem is if you need min/max at the same time. Then you not only need a min heap and max heap, you also need to track what was already popped from either heap!
This is because in python you can't delete an element if it's not at the root. So tracking "tombstones" will let you pop from one heap, then know to ignore it the next time it comes up in the other heap.

This is of course super complicated to maintain and I get it wrong all the time. Luckily only shows up in algo interview problems.

An interesting tidbit about demonetization not well known is that GoI got 115% cash back, so literally 15% of the cash in the market was fake. It is not publicized officially but well known in inner circles. The problem of cash based businesses not paying taxes (especially real estate) was serious. It is true that the impact was much higher on the common man, but then at least i believe the intention was clear. Very few leaders before had the ability to take such decisions overnight. Economy is really impacted due to NPAs and i can safely argue that misspent stimulus during 2008 have much more to do with it, combined with the fact that the infrastructure development will take time to show results. You have to give credit to Modi for Jan Dhan Yojana, building toilets, accelerating expenditure on solar energy, roads and most importantly the ignored sector of Indian railways. I still feel your comment is the rare balanced comment i will see here.
They describe it as HLS, and it definitely looks like HLS to me. But maybe we have different definitions. Either way, it seems to be targeting a strange subset of problems: it doesn't look high level enough to be easy to use for non-hardware designers (I don't think this goal is achievable, but it is at least a worthy goal), and it doesn't seem low-level enough to allow predictable performance.

Thanks for your comment. Yes, with a client side app to show and format the content stored in DNS you could do that. I guess it depends on the content you're looking to host.

NUM (and DNS) is not well suited for storing lots of content, but does work well for storing key structured data.

It seems that many small business websites follow similar formats – it's just the key information that's different. For example, contact data, location of store etc. So NUM works well to split that data into a structured machine readable format that can be interrogated by devices, apps and services.
Yes.

I mean, as a dev for last 15 years, my rule of thumb is "don't trust the internet". Don't copy paste your code onto the internet, and don't copy paste internet's code into yours.

Also, another rule that helps, what's in production, stays in production. Don't copy paste things onto your machine, don't write things down in your notebook and don't even try sending it over the public internet.
I don't really get Patreon.

Youtube is a better discovery funnel/tunnel.

Even PayPal offers better payment fees (especially for micropayments).

The only thing I see Patreon offering is a fairly coherent system for managing and communicating with one's "patrons". That's not worth nothing, especially to people without existing website infrastructure already. But it's not worth a lot to people who have that in place.

You can keep all the movies and music you currently enjoy.

Criminologists consider homicides to be reliable because it's difficult for police to ignore homicides. Moreover, these data also gel with victimization surveys--victims also report disproportionate black offenders, especially in violent crimes. Further, this violent crime rate disparity exists even when controlling for SES (socioeconomic status) differences between the races (contra your "race<->income correlation" remark). There's probably some error, but all sources suggest that crime rates are considerably higher among blacks than whites. Note again that virtually no one is arguing that blacks are inherently criminal, but that these disparities are a vestige of centuries of severe institutional racism--it would be shocking if no disparities remained only 60 years after the formal end of Jim Crow.
From the spec:
"NUM imposes no limit on the number of records in a set but some DNS server and client implementations may have difficulties processing very large record sets."

There are still some places were packet size is an issue in DNS - mostly over IPv6. This was a big issue with DNSSEC first started being deployed. Not so much now, but I've still seen instances where large DNS responses get dropped over IPv6 for MTU issues. 1260 is the safe limit for MTU size most of the time even if they advertise a higher limit.

One thing I find amusing in this saga that's been playing out since the last few months is TikTok's reaction to being banned. When it was banned in India a couple of months ago, it didn't file any lawsuits claiming that it's not a threat to national security (though it has rejected such claims in the past). But when the U.S. announced a ban last month, TikTok sued the U.S. government "on the grounds that it was enacted without evidence and without any due process." [1]

I wonder what action these companies will take with this ban or what leverage China may try to use to de-escalate the situation.
