Most likely, that person isn't merely faithful but also in the midst of an acute psychotic break. And, yeah, they're going to be able to come up with some quite creative interpretations. The ideas you'll hear from these folks are wild, but to them, they're internally very logically consistent.

Imagine someone in that state, and they see a tattoo on their body of a "+" sign. Maybe that person normally just really likes math, and got a tattoo of the most unambiguous symbol to represent that that they could. It could take on a lot of different meanings in a psychotic episode, something like thinking there's a math and Christianity conspiracy/link, and maybe they think they had a bad childhood experience with the religion, so now anyone who supports math is part of that conspiracy, and obviously evil.

Something that basic and seemingly innocuous still has the potential send their mind spinning.
Worth noting that until Encrypted SNI is universally used, you probably transmit snm.donkeyporn.com in the clear when your browser does the initial TLS exchange anyway.

I personally feel that concentrating all the information of "what DNS names are people looking up" into the hands of a few parties (e.g. CloudFlare) makes it much easier to collect and analyze this information.
A lot of these functions where already available a decade ago. The development environment for ActionScript 3 + Flex + Adobe Air was fairly good, and there was also a lot of tooling around live previews and going from a design to code and the other way around available.

It seems this kind of tooling had gone out of favor over the years, in exchange for only using code. It seems like there are some cycles in which people rethink how much a visual preview is worth to them.
What ocaml got recently, though, is do notation in the form of "let operators". It's very handy for applicative or monadic style.
Basically this. Lots of people leave. Lots of companies go fully remote or are wound up. Lots more people and companies get more bang for their buck in the real estate market. Some real estate businesses tank. The market finds a clearing price.
I can't grok why people fall for laptops in the first place. Laptops are a bunch of compromises in every detail: screen size, storage volume, keyboard, sound etc etc.

I got my first PC 30 years ago and never bought a new one ever since. It was always upgrades, small or large. Even stepping up MB and CPU I've kept my drives, graphics card, most of the smaller peripherals, sometimes even RAM, so even the largest changes are always in several hundred dollars ballpark. The process is fun, interesting and makes me keep tabs with industry.

I've bought a laptop when switching to "digital nomad" lifestyle for several years, and it was my very worst experience with personal computing. I've spent about 15 hundreds bucks and never made worst investment ever since.

This is a promising site, but I don't understand enough of the concepts involved in each description to make sense of what you are saying. Very frustrating.
I think if saying that it’s a simpler, easier solution that provides the guarantees that you need, and the other poster still does not understand this, it’s safe to say you shouldn’t put more effort into this. Thanks for your explanations :)
What generally makes men desirable to women is status, which can come from money, influence, or any other power to shape the world around them.
I'm increasingly of the view that any comments complaining about 'clickbait' titles are worse than the actual practice (such as it is).

There is no mention of a reactor in the original title. So probably you are referring to 'Mexican Chernobyl'. Yes, Chernobyl was a nuclear accident involving a reactor but not all nuclear accidents involve a reactor and Chernobyl is being used in this context as a well-known disastrous nuclear accident (not necessarily involving a reactor). And the original title clarifies that they are talking about this greater set.

Furthermore, HN, as is its admirable practice, has rewritten the title anyway. If you have an issue with the title you can easily get the mods attention by mentioning 'title' in your comment and making some constructive criticism (which yours wasn't).

(I wouldn't usually spend so much time responding to a bad comment but taking this one as just an example of this particular genre of bad comments.)
I have a few USB devices (a colour calibrator springs to mind right now) that insist on being in a directly attached USB port, and won't work even with a powered hub, or, in the case of my Surface laptop, a dock.

Hunter Biden left his laptop at the repair shop and never paid for the repairs. After waiting the legally required 90 days, the repair shop became the rightful owner of the laptop and its contents.

Once they owned those photos, they had every right to publish them or do whatever they wanted.

The least the press could ask VP Biden would be, "will you pledge that your son will not be involved in any sensitive discussions or allowed access to any sensitive material?"

Even if there were no corrupt actions at all, Hunter Biden represents every kind of HUMINT leverage imaginable.
Thus paving the way for being arbitrary. Because the decision of what's fair is hidden. That's not criteria: is lack of.

I understand you can't 100% define what's fair. That's why judges interpret. But if Jack has to come out to state they screwed up, something's not right. And they're not fixing it, by design: decisions will still be made by highly biased Twitter personnel.

I think you're underestimating the convergence of tablets and PCs here.

I edit 4k video on my iPad, edit pictures, memes, do a bit of drawing with Procreate. I'm by no means professional at any of these things, but it isn't the tools holding me back.

I don't see any reason not to use Excel or Numbers or what have you on an iPad with the keyboard. I'm sure it would work fine.

I know a couple professional music producers who do the bulk of their work on a tablet now.

What hasn't made it to tablets is coding environments. Codea and Swift Playgrounds feel like toys to me.

But it's only a matter of time. I think "decades, if it ever happens" is entirely too pessimistic, it's more "now, if you want it", for most of those things.

And it's definitely not "literally no one". It's more people than you think.

I've been using pandoc a lot recently for converting DRM free epubs into plain text and then piping that into Mac's say command generally then I pipe that to ffmpeg and output the file to mp3 for compressions sake. say is a text-to-speech program. Obviously I only use the audio output for myself. But, I find mac's Books app useful for the audio because you can set the speed up to 2x the original. (I'm sure the say command also has some similar settings too.) I even set up my own Automator task to do most the work for me. I am so thankful to those who made pandoc though it has come in handy time and time again. I used it for tons of my school papers back when I was in school and now it's my go to document converter.

EDIT:
I've also used this workflow for reading RFCs for OAuth and such. It's just basically a small curl piped to say away. Sometimes if I feel like reading an article I'll add a readability like cli tool piped between the curl and say commands. Unix is awesome!

That website shouldn't have been blocked, whoever did it should probably been charged with election meddling but it doesn't change my view of Biden.

As for the videos I think many of them shows him (clumsily) trying to comfort people.

Again - I'm also the guy who points out that "fine people on both sides" as presented in mainstream media is a hoax.

I don't like either if them but think we should be fair to both if them.

Even apart from path dependence, increasing the volume of a room by 25% must increase the materials cost and heating cost by some amount, if only 10%. More surface to paint, more difficulty reaching light bulbs, taller ladders to your gutters, and so on. Not free.

I find this kind of logic sufficiently compelling that I have never rented more than a single room, so I guess I was never going to agree with OP in the first place.
Servlet shares instance between request (or you can configure DI container, not so simple), Razor is just a template.

Maybe this isn’t what you mean, but Microsoft shipping OpenSSH client/server in W10 is totally separate from WSL. (It’s really helpful though!)
From what I’ve read of architecture, a variety of ceiling heights tends to help. To make a room with high ceilings more cozy, there are often alcoves with lower ceilings, for things like beds and tables. Sometimes drop ceilings will be added for part of the space to create a separation.

People in a large open restaurant with high ceilings will tend to avoid sitting in the middle.

Using churches for examples of how residential space should look isn’t very convincing. Most people wouldn’t want to live in a church.
A lot of tech book publishers actually release their books from their own websites in DRM free formats like epub, such as Manning, No Starch Press and often O'Reilly if you get them from the right place (humblebundle.com generally is a pretty good source for that if you're patient.) Sadly O'Reilly's website has stopped selling books directly from their website and instead you have to get them from somewhere else (but before they were DRM free).
DaVinci Resolve feels more like a Nuke clone; it's production film compositing, not the compositing-and-animation mix that After Effects is.
The iPad coding experience is decidedly sub-par, and has a long ways to go.

This is in contrast to almost anything else you might care to do on a computer, where the iPad equivalent ranges from "basically fine" to "actually better".

But people's perceptions are lagging a few years behind where the platform is at. That's normal.
This is wonderfully written, thank you!

It really doesn't sound complicated to find, unless you just have a handsoff approach to building things and just don't care as long as "something" comes out on the other end.

What makes me wonder however is this: 40 min made them look into this? I mean 40 min is crazy long. What builds this long? Chrome, Windows, Linux Kernel on a single core? This should have been raising red flags much earlier. The only explanation I can come up with is that the whole build takes hours anyway, otherwise there is no way you wouldn't notice this sooner.

In some countries that would be violation of consumer protection laws. If some service or product is offered to a general public, than arbitrary exclusion of a consumer is illegal in some jurisdictions.
I think that the metaphor leaks badly. Finding market fit is like deciding on the general shape of the staircase. Execution of whatever design still needs the stairway to be strong and reliable all the same.

Writing code is a much more precise activity that cutting wood. Using "cheats" can get you somewhere, but due to the precise nature of the machine logic, the contraption is guaranteed to bend and break where it does not precisely fit, and shaving off the offending 1/8" is usually not easy, even if possible.
Don't forget that those casks are really heavy. If you launch the "waste" into space in them you'll be launching a lot more mass than just the 30kt. I don't know the exact ratio between cask mass and waste mass, but it could easily be 10:1.

Also, I'll repeat that throwing away valuable nuclear material just because it's called a "waste" product is stupid. Paying a lot of money to throw it into space is even dumber.
Nanoparticles eat cardiovascular plaques from the inside out
Some types of fresh nuclear fuel can be transported trough air, with limited amounts at the time.

Used nuclear fuel in those flasks are not transported trough air. Always by land or sea. On the sea they are transported in purpose-built ships.

Small amounts of highly radioactive nuclear fuel are transported trough air but they be in extremely secure type C containers that survive crash from cruising altitude. Creating similar containers that survive crash from space launch would make launching very expensive. Most of the payload would be just the container and only small amounts would be radioactive material.

It's 1000 times cheaper to recycle nuclear fuel make nuclear reactors that use nuclear waste than shoot it into space. France does it in La Hague. The rest can be buried into the ground.
Purely from an economic and argicuktural perspective, is there a way for us to simply raise honey bees in more of a ‘bubble’ that is somehow protected from the giant wasps?

I’d imagine from what I’ve read that a significant chunk of bees are already artificially produced and distributed for crops.

That plus of course combined with a general ongoing attempt at eradication of the hornets. Or at least significant population control.

Or is agriculture simply too widespread and complicated (or ‘naturally’ dependent) for such a thing?
The hackers are also contacting the patients directly. A friend of ours was a Vastaamo customer a couple of years ago and received their extortion email yesterday.

The amount demanded initially surprised me as being quite affordable, but I guess that's how extortion / blackmail works - there's never just one payment. It was different to the amount specified in the article.
yeah my bad. When I tested I used the full hash and just wanted it to look concise, but didn't try the shortened one :/
The 5 Most Creative Cities in the World. BBC
If you are in Berlin, the Stasi museum is worth a visit. It’s in the old Stasi complex.. Be careful not to try to enter the Stasi archive - the people there are not sympathetic to strangers poking their noses in!

It’s full of Stasi spy equipment, memorabilia, other stuff.

They had a whole city block to themselves. Their private hospital is now a regular hospital and as far as I know the only government facilities there now are the archive and the museum.
And screen recorder apps, with a special permission IIRC.
IMHO (from having addressed such CI issues personally on teams that otherwise wouldn't bother) it's likely due to other factors, like a lack of interest, being scared of breaking the build, not being terribly comfortable touching build scripts, or the inability to run scripts locally, than a genuine lack of time. The returns you can get can be ridiculously huge across the entire team compared to the hours you might spend, but I've found many people just aren't terribly interested in sitting down and digging into ugly scripts and pushing dozens of commits to figure out what might be slowing things down. And honestly, it's not exactly trivial to structure things in a way that's simultaneously both efficient and maintainable, especially if you're refactoring an existing system instead of starting from scratch, so that can be another turn-off.
> I am saying when you say "Twitter is a private company. They can choose without restriction who's allowed to use their platform,"

That's a straw man. I never said anything like what you are pretending I said. They obviously could not ban users on the basis of race or religion or a number of other criteria.

But that's not really what's under discussion. The question is should Twitter (or other platforms) lose their right to moderate content when they become successful?

I don't think they should.
You can buy (or build from a kit if you can solder) a functional geiger counter that will detect gamma radiation (what cobalt-60 emits) for under 100 USD. They're a bit too big to put on a keychain, but you can easily keep one in a backpack.
It's certainly closed source, but their E2E protocol is laid out in their white paper.

It's not clear why this would be the case. Why should we care which "party" somebody is from when then issue at hand is a revolving door between DC and the Valley? The military-industrial complex has done fine under a two-party system and so presumably will the private-public corporate surveillance state. Everybody in power in the US has to pick one of two letters to put after their name, but they're all part of the same ruling class.
Their mandate requires a stable financial system with solvent institutions and sufficient liquidity moving through the system.

By definition, solvency and liquidity at the country level depend on major asset classes maintaining some amount of value.

That baseline changes based on regulations of what can or cannot be used as collateral for different measures, what ratios institutions have to maintain, etc, but there is a floor of some sort at which point the financial system implodes and the economy collapses.

Given their powers and mandate, preventing economic collapse is of the utmost importance.

What Fox News was since Ailes took over, CNN and MSNBC have become. That's something to be really worried about. For a long time, I read the NYT and watched CNN. I never felt the need to check in and see what Fox was saying until the last 2-3 years. Now I do, because I don't trust that I'm getting the whole story.
I find Tokyo far more walkable than SF. I don't like the public transportation in SF. It's dirty, gross, and slow and have to walk over homeless people and smell piss everywhere and even without transportation most areas in Tokyo are super walkable with access to almost everything you could need just a few minutes walk away.

I'd say Paris and London (and most > 1m people cities in Europe and many in Asia) are also more walkable than SF.

thermal load... of batteries?

I generally agree, but could you further define what Nature means to you? especially when you say "Nature is IRREPLACEABLE. Once it is dead it is dead forever."
I would guess it's a vanishingly small number relative to other reasons for being banned. Don't mention bombs or guns if you're mad, of course. But the habitual obnoxious drunks alone dilute that to virtually nothing, plus the 'flight crew abusers' ("they're just sky-waitresses, so screw them amiright"), and don't forget the 'noble anti-authority protestors' (e.g. any flight crew rules...no, I don't care your views on buckling your seatbelt during take off...I sure don't see it as a civil rights issue). I don't even know how to categorize watching the lady change her infants diaper and stuff the dirty into the seatback pouch...and hour into a 6 hour flight. I've seen so much routine assholery in air travel little could lower my opinion of humanity.
> that a Chinese billionaire had slipped Juliani a hard drive containing information that might be incriminating to Biden's

Questions: why would the Chinese do that? Or do you mean a Chinese billionaire did it without the involvement of the government? Or do you think their recommendation of Biden is a calculated move to get people to vote for Trump?

I recently replaced the laptop that 80 year old relatives where using with a "desktop". It is just a small NUC box, 24" monitor, webcam, wireless mouse & keyboard. Cheaper than a laptop of similar power. And they love it. Because our eyes and hands worsen with age, and mobile computing something for younger people. Maybe this is me in the future, or maybe I'll be using voice control and a bit TV. But for all of us living to an old enough age, small devices will become a problem.
