> The big problem with nuclear propulsion is always: What happens if a rocket with such an engine explodes at the start?

The big problem is that most people don't realize that isn't a problem at all.

We've been launching radiation-powered devices into space for decades in the form of RPS's, Radioisotope-powered systems. In one launch, the rocket exploded and even then the radioactive parts were unharmed[0]

And 'accidentally reenters the atmosphere' isn't really a thing. Once an object is in orbit above a certain height, it takes a lot of energy to get it out of orbit. The only alternative is waiting for the very faint amount of atmosphere to drag on it and bring it down- and anything about 1000km, that would be decades of waiting.

We launch the radioactive components safely, as we have lots of experience doing. We then assemble the nuclear engine in-orbit at an orbit above 1000km. Then we go to Mars!

> Clojure professionally for a while, and that disappeared. Now I haven't written Lisp in probably 7 years, but I still have no problem reading it.

Slightly off-topic but interesting none-the-less. After starting to program with Clojure both as an hobby and professionally, how do you go back something that is not lisp/repl driven?

I've tried time and time again to go back to JavaScript, as I used to be OK with it, but I just cannot justify the hassles I have to fight with everyday, compared to if my co-workers just picked up Clojure instead.
Continuous acceleration on the order of 1G is solidly in the realm of fiction today (see: The Expanse series). The actual engines we have today capable of continuous thrust for weeks at a time only produce less than a Newton of thrust. The practical approach is starved for both energy and propellant to achieve such levels of acceleration.
After the 2nd world war, governments all over the world exploded atomic ordinance on land, on islands, in water and underground. The environmental effects were unimaginable.

Regulate that.

> Brainfuck isn't easier to understand than python no matter how much time you spend with brainfuck.

I don't disagree with your overall point, but I actually wonder how true that is. If you spent years working in Brainfuck, and had never touched Python, I suspect it would take a bit of effort before Python was as readable to you as Brainfuck.
Works for everyone I know who has tried it.
I strongly disagree. Since switching to Fedora almost 4 years ago, I've only booted to X.org once, three years ago. I haven't needed it since.

I appreciate the contrary view that you're representing but at the same time your account is badly violating the HN guidelines against using this site primarily for political battle, and you're also posting in the flamewar style which is not ok here. We ban accounts that do that, regardless of what they're battling for or against, or how good or bad it is.

If you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and use HN as intended, we'd appreciate it. The intended use is this: primarily for intellectual curiosity, only secondarily for politics, and then only in the form of curious and thoughtful conversation—not smiting enemies.

Can someone explain profit motive to him? I'm too tired to be constantly educating people
First, I've honestly never hear of "Western" ethnicity, but I get what you are trying to say. Hispanics tend to self-identify as white, especially after a few generations.

I think the rest of your analysis is just wrong. First there was no "English" America. America from the start had European immigrants. New York was a Dutch colony. The early censuses used "white" and it always meant the same it means today.

This idea of a "progressing" whiteness is way way overblown to make people feel like the demographic changes we are facing are not unusual. But they are. Even if a huge percentage of hispanics start to self-identify as white - White people will still likely become a minority when they were around 90% of the population at the turn of the last century. Asians and Blacks are around ~20% of the population and Asians are the fastest growing ethnic group.

I will say you should probably be careful about running a webserver on TOR. Almost all my machines have a basic web server just for copying static files to windows hosts I don't want to give my password to. People would find these on TOR and then find my resume, I got plenty of emails asking to set up "hidden sites on the dark web for sharing pictures."

I'm sure they paid for the patent. From your linked article:

What I think would be awesome is if mental health was de-stigmatized. Like physical health is.

Now it is completely normal and expected to get a yearly physical. IMHO we all should be getting a yearly "mental", as well (with a psychologist, not a psychiatrist), and it should be both normal and expected.

> But to intentionally disadvantage a minority group is to discriminate against that minority group.

I would argue that depends on the intent. Do i put them in a disadvantage because they are part of that group or because a large part of that group wouldn't fit the requirements i have.

Lets say i'm looking for someone doing voiceover. Someone without an accent. That would probably put a lot of non-native english speaker in a disadvantage. Would you argue, that i'm discriminating against them or have racist intentions?

In this diversity session they would then argue my knowledge that non-native english speaker are put in a disadvantage by this requirement was the reason to put it in and therefor i'm racist.
I'm sorry, but could you provide a source on this? I know for a fact I grew up eating wild passion fruit from our property in the Ozarks.

I see this kind of stuff at companies where only one or two developers work on a project, or the team working on it hasn't had much experience on other projects.

What I wonder about, since this is a wireless chip developed by a Chinese design firm: if the US will deny Huawei access to the US market for security reasons, shouldn't they also be critical of any other Chinese chip with transmit capability (which may cause havoc in the form of wireless DoS attacks and/or eavesdropping)?

Agreed, but both can be true to varying degrees at the same time.

Bipolar disorder, clinical depression / major depressive issues, etc.

Plus, since each "band aid" in this case is a human life - a person who may then be able to go on to help others and reform the system, I'm definitely a fan of pursuing both avenues at the same time.
It's interesting how radioactive sources are often detected while looking for something else. About 10 years ago, I was pulled into a situation where PET imaging patients were setting off radiation detectors coming back into the US at border crossings. Now, it's not unusual for patients who have been given radioisotopes to set off detectors at airports, etc, what was unusual is that PET isotopes usually have very short half-lives. In this case, the patients had been given Rb-82, which has a half-life just over 1 minute. Yet they were setting off detectors weeks after getting PET scans.

What was happening was that there was contamination of the isotope. They were getting more than the allowable amount of Sr-82 along with the Rb-82. Sr-82 has a half life of about 25 days.

The way that Rb-82 is made, is the pharmacy is provided with a generator or 'cow', which is a bunch of Sr-82 which decays to make Rb-82. The 'cow' is 'milked', which means passing saline through it, and if all goes well the Rb-82 comes out with the saline and the Sr-82 stays in the cow. Some Sr-82 always gets out but usually it is a small amount.

Now, Sr-82 is not easy to measure, and the limits are very small. Sr-82 only has a few very low energy gammas. I happen to be an expert in the type of device normally used to measure it (a re-entrant dose calibrator). The QA check used in the clinics was, shall we say, optimistic about the ability to detect it.

Here's an article about the situation: https://www.fda.gov/drugs/drug-safety-and-availability/fda-d...

Could you please indicate where you heard that Merck has any ownership of the patents to the Oxford vaccine? The cited article indicates that it’s is AstraZeneca who have done a deal with Oxford and that the deal with Merch, while an early option, fell though.

Is would seem “US BigParma” are not involved, as AstraZeneca is a British/Swedish company.
That's not an accurate statement.

Such perceptions are in the eye of the beholder. People with the opposite views to yours see HN in exactly the opposite light. See for example https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20384662. What's astonishing is how precisely complaints like yours and theirs mirror each other. The mechanism and the emotions are identical—they're just applying different filters. But the underlying data stream of posts flowing through HN remains the same.

Lots of previous explanations about this phenomenon may be found via https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor....
I would say you're proposing a false dichotomy. There are 4 options or more.

In the case of Twitter, in order to maintain their "good samaritan" the extent of their "content moderation" is quite specficic.

any action voluntarily taken in good faith to restrict access to or availability of material that the provider or user considers to be obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent, harassing, or otherwise objectionable.

The NYPost article was damaging a political opponent to be sure. It was not obscene, lewd, filthy; though clearly twitter allows porn so these are immediately ruled out. It wasn't violent by any means.

Was it harassing or otherwise objectionable? Well I think there's some good debate possible but that debate is cut off immediately because the "content moderation" must be done in good faith. This very clearly is violated.

So Twitter did not content moderate as per the laws they must obey. Therefore we now have 2 options. Twitter loses platform protections and becomes directly liable for any and all content they publish aka any anonymous person posting. OR they stop their censorship.

Standardized tests could also be considered a way for picking the right kind of person: namely, people who know that standardized tests are something to prepare for. I’ve tutored students at both elite and underperforming high schools. Students at elite schools, irrespective of their socioeconomic status, are highly aware of the importance of standardized tests. Some of the underperforming high schools don’t even administer the PSAT. Many, if not most students at the low-income schools think the SAT is an IQ test where the results are predetermined. I’ve had kids go from the low 30th percentile to the mid 80th percentile with just a few months of tutoring. After I’ve taught them how to practice the test, they improve dramatically. I’m not making them smarter, just passing along some cultural and educational capital they literally would not get otherwise. Their parents and teachers do not know this stuff.

As for affirmative action being an effort to keep out Asians...have you been to Harvard’s campus? There are many, many Asian students there. In fact, nearly one in five students at Harvard are of Asian descent. The idea that elite schools are purposely excluding Asians is absurd on its face. The people pushing the idea have an axe to grind and it usually isn’t actually in the interest of Asian-Americans.
>test cases are going to seal their doom. any lawyer worth their salt can use those as evidence of them writing specific code to target and bypass security protections so they can download copyrighted works.

Doesn't this apply to all browsers too? A browser has to actually download the copyrighted work to play it back, regardless whether it's "streaming" it or not. Chunks of the file get downloaded and those protections will have to be bypassed to be able to play it back, no?

We know that different media players rely on youtube-dl to be able to play back videos from YouTube. Are they not allowed to be able to play back YouTube content then?
Yup, makes sense that you make mistakes then, as these folks are surely used to not having to think about balancing parenthesis anymore. Just as over-reliance on GPS will make your navigation skills without a GPS worse over time.
Probably a dumb question but could they remove the tests and put them in a different repo?
Solid link and a quote below:

>As discussed above, although the data are supportive of a difference in the early-life microbiome of infants born via CS vs. vaginal delivery, the evidence that this is due to the mode of delivery (i.e., differences in exposure to vaginal microbiota during birth) is unconvincing and lacking in critical data. Nevertheless, the perception among the public and medical health professionals alike is that CS delivery deprives the infant of exposure to vaginal microbiota and this leads to neonatal dysbiosis and increased risk of poorer health outcomes. As a consequence, attempts have been made to correct the problem—even though the “problem” may not exist and the benefits of exposure to any individual bacterial species have not been determined.

Well said. This is exactly my gripe with Haskell monads. There are too many places where the hierarchy isn't uniform and there are a bunch of special monads like IO and List. It leads to the same ambiguous "is a" problem of complicated OO hierarchies and is one of the reasons they don't compose well.

The ironic thing is that these algabraic effect systems have a feel/control flow pattern that's quite similar to exception handling from the OO languages or interrupt handlers in low-level code.

It's much easier to just say "this piece of code is impure, it may do X, Y, and Z and if so then ..." than to try and shove everything ad-hoc into the abstract math tree. But then you lose the purity of your language and it's really awkward in a language whose primary concern is purity. That may be a reason why algebraic effects seem a bit more natural in OCaml.

Could you please stop with this ideological political activism? There is no inherent sexism in any language, ancient historical origin of the words isn't carried over to modern meaning, semantics of the words and doesn't create any bias against women or men. Meaning is created by mass media, people, world around you through propagandistic rhetorics. If you hang out with someone expressing "sexist" attitude or exposed to them through media, it really doesn't matter what words they use to call things they want to be for men or for women, you will still develop "sexist" associations, for example, you still won't consider babysitting a manly task, no matter how politically correct gender-neutral it is called.

I think those bees learned how to fight them, which is
probably untrue for the rest of the bee population elsewhere. There might also be birds that eat them.

I love having hornets on my property if their nest isn't located in a path I have to cross. They also eat wasps and you won't have any problems with them throughout the summer. They don't try to eat your cake or drink you lemonade and you can peacefully chill in your garden.

They always leave their nest after a season and it can make quite a mess. But nothing is better than having them in a remote location in your garden. It is better than any insect spray.

But you still might seriously want to get rid of them because they could indeed do a lot of damage in another ecosystem that needs to sacrifice several species until it adapts.
