An inflatable habitat could hold a small-ish centrifuge enough for some tests and to provide some semblance of gravity for sleep and exercise. If it gets really bad, the centrifuge can be dismantled and its remains used as divisions for what would be a very large empty space.

Tethering two Dragons together would be complicated and maybe require an EVA to attach the tether. The trunk remains attached during a launch abort, so it can survive 1g without flying away (the Dragons will need it for deorbit after the experiment). I'm also guessing they'd need some redesign, because you don't want to mess with the parachute fixation points and, even if you did, the "floor" of the capsule should, for this exercise, be perpendicular to the acceleration.

In short, I guess we need sci-fi grade engines that can pull 1g for weeks at a time.
That doesn't mean it was a relevant response to the parent comment, which did not use any legal phrases. They just asked if the case was any good or not.

Since 7 justices said they didn't have standing, and the other 2 said it was impossible to grant relief, it's pretty clear that the case as a whole was not any good. Using a misleading legal phrase to imply that the case had non-legalese "merit" that the courts chose to ignore is.. misleading.
But for two completely different audiences: One extremely precise and extremely stupid, the other is a computer. Just kidding! The other is a creature like you and me.
Too bad you don't have the right to not be harassed and illegally detained or murdered, as the DA will refrain from bringing charges against the agents of their tyranny.
Take your pick based on if you are more comfortable with mass killings based on political affiliation or race.
Thank you!

It was run by our survey working group, of which I am not involved. So I can’t take any credit here.
Who defines what constitutes "reasonable effort"? How would you even know without having them go through a legal process like a court? Is it just up to any angry journalist to make this determination?

I personally wouldn't use PornHub, as I have a negative impression of their moderation standards. Being exposed to child porn could put me at serious legal risk, if I were to inadvertently view the wrong thing. But, that is a simple risk calculation on my part. And I am already surprised so many people would put themselves at risk, of using a website which lets anyone to submit content.
Looks like it would be useful as a compact engine for small planes or drones. The "through" flow of air and exhaust would be easy to ingrate into an airframe.
It makes sense all things being equal, but that isn’t the case.

Even in the old consolidated system you had differentiation between the exchanges in the form of exchange rules which led to Nasdaq specializing in different listings than NYSE.

If you look at the commodities exchanges they were even more specialized and splintered until legal interventions made those specializations less valuable.

It was governmental intervention that made liquidity the only factor in exchange choice.

haha no true Scotsman strikes again! If you are not using theoretical computer science in your daily work, you are either not a true programmer because you neglected to truly absorb the theory, OR not working on true problems, just some low grade commercial bs, right?
Warning: the video on their site contains completely unnecessary and pointless stock images of severe medical conditions that are quite shocking. I stopped and bailed after the first few images.

Whatever they're trying to encourage support for, they've completely lost it as far as I'm concerned.
Thanks for asking this question. There is nothing "minority" about this, every group needs same protection and no one should be targeted. A reasonable person can not even guess how evil the government can get.

- Trump wanted to target certain folks with work authorizations. There was no legal way for him do end the program easily. So he insisted they are a threat to national security. Then he demanded they submit their biometric data every time they want to renew they authorization/visa (note that DHS or State Dept. already have their biometric data). Then all they had to do was to reduce work force in the biometric collection centers. As a consequence now the processing of these visas/work authorizations can take upto 18 months. Which effectively forces these people out of jobs. This is being done in the name of protecting Americans from terrorism.

There are number of ways this health data can be weaponized against immigrations or minorities.

- A rogue administration can classify infected immigrants as a public threat. (If that sounds a stretch remember kids from Iran are already a public threat, and children of Indian H1B holders have to submit their fingerprints every 3 years to ensure they are not public threats).

- If you ever have lied on any form about your covid infection or knowledge about it, but government data suggests you had covid during that time and you knew about it, that can be considered "bad moral character" and you naturalization can be denied or even revoked.

- Imagine a poor neighborhood where a particular "undesirable" group lives and a lot of people there test positive, now government can engage in propaganda that this evil group is spreading COVID.

Secondly, trust the creative ability of people like Stephen Miller to come up with more wide ranging excuses.

Agreed. It's funny that people here are complaining "Rocky Linux" isn't a professional name and they won't be able to convince corporates clients to use it. Yet, there exists a billion dollar revenue company named "Red Hat" which clearly is a "professional" name.

from the results itself :

Although the difference observed was not statistically significant, the 95% CIs are compatible with a 46% reduction to a 23% increase in infection

and from the conclusion :

The recommendation to wear surgical masks to supplement other public health measures did not reduce the SARS-CoV-2 infection rate among wearers by more than 50% in a community with modest infection rates, some degree of social distancing, and uncommon general mask use. The data were compatible with lesser degrees of self-protection

Didn't Multics have that? I mean, Multics never went anywhere, but the theory wasn't new to Unix, was it?
Snap is proprietary and has a fairly broken implementation. Seems impressively good at preventing machines from booting, polluting the filesystem namespace (who wants 100 lines in every df?), doesn't seem to handle versioning or garbage collection well.

Server side isn't open, and Canocial repeatedly claims wide industry support ... despite not having it.

I recommend the first step in any Ubuntu system you use is to disable snap. Use something portable like flatpak that does at least have some support, is open source, and seems to have a healthy eco system.
Can you explain how the public is harmed? I (think) I get the affect on various players in the ad ecosystem.

Not surprising! Ignoring and downplaying the crimes of Operation Paperclip Nazis is a well established pastime among U.S. historians. "A Secret Agenda" by Linda Hunt is an excellent read on the subject, and goes into lots of detail about the Mittelwerk rocket factory which Von Braun ran: https://wikispooks.com/wiki/File:Secret_Agenda.pdf

And if you think Von Braun was bad, wait until you hear about Kurt Blome (who after WWII worked closely with Sidney Gottlieb, the head of the CIA's MKULTRA program) or Klaus Barbie!

In the 1970s, former SS officer Otto von Bolschwing was made president of a California company by its director, J. Paul Getty, Jr. (Gavin Newsom's dad William A. Newsom was also on the Board).

Do you wear a helmet while driving a car? Head injuries are a top cause of death in vehicle accidents something that helmets would significantly reduce.

The truth is that you never even considered wearing a helmet while drivi g because driving is an ordinary activity that doesn't seem to require special equipment. In places where cycling is an ordinary activity people feel the same.

It's not about statistics or the actual effectiveness of safety equipment. If it were you would start wearing a driving helmet tomorrow.

I think you’d want to do experiments with two equally weighted pods on each end of a “salt and pepper” (see https://youtu.be/U-a_gtcftZg) type setup.

I hope to see tests in space as well. There’s likely some sweet spot that strikes a good balance between mitigating sickness, providing enough gravity to be useful, and being a reasonable size, and I think testing different configurations with a minimal rig where you change the diameter and rotational speed is the only way to discover it.

I might be wrong though. There might be compelling evidence there is no such sweet spot and that looking for one would be a waste of time.
How I wish there was a clean Swing implementation of the treetable widget/pattern in swing. JXTreetable makes me sad and wince everytime I have to open up the code. Cell renderers are OK... Until you want to go custom and synchronize events & drawing between renderers and you want them all coherent... And don't get me started on LnF and their interactions with JxTreetable... I know I should just shut up and go build mine own but this seems like such an oversight.
This is an obviously correct result, it’s just a bummer it took a while to get here. Now the next step is to hold police personally liable for violations of people’s rights.
Funny, I have been going in the opposite direction of learning more astrophysics as a retirement hobby. So many university seminars and professional conferences are online now, I practically drown in them. Plus there is so much data online too, and tsunamis of data as the new super telescopes come online. My PhD training in another branch of physics allows me to understand the math and data analysis. What is lacking is a PhD level understanding of the research frontier, i.e. what constitutes a unit of research that is significant and achievable in a publication cycle. That you obtain by apprenticing yourself as a grad student/postdoc in a quality research group.
thank you kind sir

Do you want the 'introduction server' not to be a regular peer itself?

If it can be, you can just have the NATed peers connect to it, with persistent keep alive set so they maintain it.
I'm curious to know what people find to be missing in the Rust/C interop? I only used it for a few simple functions, so I could not hit any hard points.
Yeah, this is actually an interesting case and one well worth litigating. I agree with the outcome (perhaps obviously) but it's good to have it argued in open court.
Interesting, I have never heard this argument before. I don’t think there is a case to be made that the individual entities that make up Google or Facebook couldn’t operate independently. Google Search, G Suite, Google Cloud Platform, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, etc. are all viable businesses in their own right. Many of them would still even qualify as “tech giants” eg WhatsApp is absolutely enormous with 2B monthly active users. In other words, a breakup wouldn’t result in failure and therefore wouldn’t satisfy the too big to fail criteria.
PGP is terrible. Avoid if you can. I wish people focused on building simpler and more modern tools. In particular: https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/100546/reusing-b...

Having said that, if you need to use it, it's awesome that now it has a modern and saner implementation.
Yeah, but it basically is. The most important difference, as it appears, is they've ported the intake and exhaust through the piston rather than through the block. I don't quite understand the claim that it has a different thermodynamic cycle...

No, a default Debian installation downloads packages over plain HTTP. It doesn’t even support downloading packages over HTTPS unless you install the optional apt-transport-https package and edit your sources.list.

It uses SHA-2 checksums since Debian 9, though.
I realize I'm privileged in that I live in a low-crime city, but seriously, who is going to steal a $20 helmet which will have a broken strap?

It looks like new straps cost ~$8 on Amazon, so the helmet is worth at most $12. Which isn't nothing, but... unless you happen to need a helmet and the helmet just so happens to be the right size for your body, you'd need to sell it, and no one is going to pay full price for a used helmet. I'd be amazed if you got more than a couple dollars when all was said and done.

I suppose you could buy straps in bulk for much less money, but then you're basically setting up a helmet-stealing operation... it all just seems like so much work, for very little gain! If you're that desperate, wouldn't it make more sense to invest in wire cutters so you can steal the bikes themselves?
I live in Ireland and I really enjoy that small Celeron I mentioned in the other message - the one my daughter is using. It's small, the battery lasts for at least 5 hours, completely silent, and, while it certainly isn't as fast as my Mac or the Dell (or the Xeon under my desk), it's fast enough for my tests to run while I think about the next steps. And it did cost me about $200. It's an expendable computer.

I assume a Pinebook Pro is a much nicer experience.
So what, you have oiling or cooling passages immediately behind the seal?
Police actively try to resist this.

I saw something really interesting when getting pulled over by the police a while back (on a boat). When they saw us recording them while they were writing a ticket, they shined a bright flashlight at our camera so that it would ruin the exposure and not capture anything useful. They were very deliberate about this and it was quite effective.

Something does seem wrong about police in public not wanting to be recorded while doing their (taxpayer funded) job and holding extra power over the citizen (a police's word in court generally comes with a special authority).
A huge problem with spending $400 is the build quality of the bike. I went down this exact same route last December. I bought the same Sunny bike in the link, an Apple Watch, a Wahoo cadence sensor, and an entry-level iPad. The Sunny bike broke after 3.5 months of regular usage, right at the start of Covid quarantine. I ended up replacing it with a high quality ~$2k Keiser M3i. The Keiser has been great the last 7 months.

The ftp site does not contain sources for RHEL 8 (it's just sources for a bunch of add-on packages). The RHEL 8 sources are in git.centos.org, though not in SRPM form.

I know that GPL only requires Red Hat to provide sources on request to those receiving their binaries. But in principle the receiver can then legally redistribute those sources. Now AFAICT nobody's actually doing that redistributing. I don't know whether that's due to lack of interest, or due to some Red Had shenanigans that makes redistribution illegal/unattractive.

Yeah, Cockroachdb - I don't like that name at all.
I agree on more descriptive language. Sounds like then "blockout" or "password authentication blockout" would be the better language than "brownout", since that's what they're doing, blocking password auth.
I guess we are talking about different things. Parents of traditional/conservative households in my neighborhood would routinely strike their kids with heavy implements, over and over for at least several minutes, inflicting serious pain. Kids would adapt and their pain tolerances would increase, they'd try to hide it, their parents would find out and escalate. It was a whole thing.

Seeing how Zig has reimplemented the C preprocessor just to make C interop easier/smoother, there's always room for improvement beyond plain old function importing/exporting.

I of course, think that C FFI is as good as I personally need it to be. It's as good or better than most other languages that are not C.
Are you suggesting that the executives should face prison or fines? I don't think it's fair to blame them for taking advantage of market conditions; that's just capitalism.

If anyone should be blamed, it's the people who were supposed to regulate these companies to stop them from getting to this point, especially since their evil practices have been known for a very long time.

The world has missed out on 10 years of potential competition and innovation because of that.
Remember launching a phone just isn’t FirefoxOS: you need a device to load it on, a carrier willing to support it (this is the biggest hurdle by far), and to negotiate the baseband blob that you have absolutely no reason idea what it does and has DMA.

I have personally gone through carrier negotiations and they’re the reason why Android phones come with bloat ware and people go to such lengths to build and distribute minimalistic Android systems.

CentOS will be useless as a replacement for RHEL. Without the guarantee of binary compatibility, any CentOS Stream update may break your locally installed applications.

And I only recall CentOS significantly trailing RHEL at the major version updates (e.g. 6 and 7). Other updates seem pretty timely, and the major version lag doesn't leave me vulnerable.

I can see this being useful for developers who are building something that needs to be compatible with the next major release of RHEL, but I'm not sure who else it will be useful for.
I read mostly in the evenings after the kids are put to bed, but I note that I watch relatively little television, which would likely otherwise consume that time.
The power requirements for transmuting elements would probably significantly out do the power needed for mining bitcoin.

In the case of asteroid mining, it'd likely go the way of the diamond. Diamonds are not rare and easy to create in labs yet still retain high values due to monopolization of the supply. No company that mines asteroids will want to flood the markets. Instead, they will monopolize the supply and find a balance of introducing supply and maintaining prices.
Interesting actually. I just skimmed the 'about' and did nothing jumped out at me saying 'vc backed' - but maybe there are other clues I should look for 'vc backed' with things in the future.

This has made me consider more about vc backed things - they mostly have to go for certain business models and it limits things I guess.

my comment was saying I would buy the code to run on our servers, not asking to give it away. I do this with some local software and some server software. It's a fine choice to not make it available that way.

I was merely offering a different view point some may want to consider - not suggesting that their current model was flawed.

No matter how many VCs want to be the next adobe, I only use software I don't have to subscribe to, and try to only user services where I have easy export of data. Certainly I am not the majority of users in the world.

I wonder how many more will start to shift after getting burned by vendor lockin though, certainly I'm not the only one that has spend time and money with other people's platforms and had them change a business model or terms of content and then lost all of that time and content.

I imagine the number of people with that bad taste in their mouth will continue to grow. This is not to say that I expect the youtube/adobe etc biz models to fail because if it. Just offering a glance at a market that may not be considered.
I worked there! Very interesting technology. Engine development is hard.
Sorry to be a little pedantic but genocide specifically means mass killing based on race, ethnicity, or nationality. The word was coined in response to the Nazi Holocaust because the systemtimatic, ethnically motivated killings were considered to be so abhorrent. There’s no such thing as genocide based on political affiliation.
Obviously yes, probably on the back of stuff like Jerome Kerviel, and Tom Hayes, where one "rogue X" is capable of taking down Y.
