Pilot Says Jet Pack Guy over Los Angeles Looked Just Like This Crazy Drone
Wonderful stuff. The bleak tone reminds me of Robert Frank's book "The Americans."
Couldn't they have done that months ago?
I think the way it is now in the readme accurately reflects the state of development. Still possible, but not actively working on and not currently interested in any non chrome stuff.

But at any time, it may just come back, you know? Boom.. and then it's back. Haha !

Which suits me perfectly for where i am right now. :)
The users didn't choose internet explorer though: the comparison may hold for Android Chrome but not really for Chrome on Windows.

It's missing a lot of muscles! It'd be great to see some exercises for smaller muscle groups like the rotator cuff. Super important for really pushing the big muscles.
I was near Cincinnati as well when the last brood came out. The sound was incredible. Kinda sad I'm missing it this year but at least I was able to experience it at least once.

Wow, reading my comment: what a lot of autocorrect errors that I did not pick up (I was composing on my phone). I’m glad some people found it comprehensible.
I’ve been using Ubuntu in some form since the first versions in 2004, and mostly sticking with LTS since 2006. What won me over in the early days was the clear versioning story with predictable cadence of releases and support intervals, pragmatic approach to proprietary drivers and video codecs, and the fact that server and desktop were the same distro.

By comparison I never fully understood the Debian versioning story. I have no idea when the next version will become stable, or how stale the versions are in stable, whether I could install it without driver issues on my desktop, etc.

With Ubuntu I could take a break for a few years and know there will be an LTS release in April or 2022, that the previous LTS release was 20.04, and 18.04 was the one before that, etc. That each will be supported for 5 years and so on.
There are 10 kinds of people in the world:

Those that understand binary, those that don't, and those who weren't expecting a ternary joke.
These are both old, like me:

There's a new object-oriented version of COBOL. It's called "Add 1 to COBOL".

(Carbon dates back to the ancient time when C++ was basically object oriented C, so like, 1988 or so.)

Here's one for the increasingly elderly people who prefer C over C++. "Whoever invented C++ doesn't know the difference between increment and excrement." (Best said in a cranky old man voice at an appropriate moment whilst battling a bug in some big C++ source base. Yeah, I know who Bjarne Stroustrup is. It's funnier with "whoever".)
If you mean you're not a programmer, rad, good compliment. If you mean QA engineers aren't programmers... wtaf?
> Why is the American public and the politicians so clueless about (supply vs demand)

We're not clueless, but supply and demand is mostly meaningless in housing in the US. (I get that much of Hacker News is San Francisco based, and the Bay Area is an outlier in that it has an actual shortage of units). But except for a few very-specific cities (like SF), in most US cities the price of housing has absolutely nothing to do with supply nor demand. US housing prices are set by federal monetary policy, used as investment vehicles for banking and private equity, with some money laundering and scams thrown in, to create good-looking artificial economic indicators.

Most housing can not depreciate in the US. This is intentional, explicit, federal policy. (Guaranteed and backed up by the full faith of the federal government). Macro-level depreciation at the urban level simply isn't allowed for any reason. (Seriously, this is not an exaggeration. We poisioned an entire cities drinking water and despite demand being practically zero, that city still hasn't lost meaningful values on it's housing). You can't build faster than the feds can raise prices, and even if you could, most cities are not short on houses. (Half of the top 40 major US cities literally already have more empty/abandoned homes than they have homeless people)

If we pulled all that political monetary policy out of housing, then sure, our housing could be based on actual supply and demand (Japan-style). But politically, that will never happen in the US.

Most Americans can't articulate all of the above clearly. But any American that has ever bought a house knows damn well that the price they paid is entirely political and has no basis in reality, and most Americans know that the primary way housing prices go up is through new construction, so most Americans aren't going to be swayed by an argument to "just build even more"

> Homes should be made for living. Not for investments or speculation.

I agree, but generally speaking, America does not. All housing is investment here. Unless your wealthy enough to DIY it yourself, houses literally don't get built here unless it's a "profitable investment". (Banks often won't even finance things that lower average housing costs)

This is also why YIMBYism doesnt work here. The problem is too much investment in housing already. But new construction is assessed high, and all housing everywhere is assessed based on the closest comparable, so it becomes an infinite feedback loop until the bubble pops. You can't solve that with even more investment, the investment is causing the prices to rise in the first place!

The rules for the trailing `=` case are particularly complicated:

{x=:!r:20} -> "x="+format(repr(x), "20")

> Christian values are deeply individualistic.

Christians groups have historically has values from pretty much maximally communitarian to maximally individualistic, which interpretation a Christian views as the correct view as Christianity will naturally correspond pretty exactly to that Christian’s own preferences.

Are Christian values inherently individualistic? Sure, to an individualist who is also a Christian. To a Christian who is communitarian, the opposite will be seen as true.

I have seen gifs of a very simple image with sparkles and/or firework explosions. Is there an easy way to do this?
Right but murder is not something regular people decide they're going to do just because "things are difficult".

It's usually something people who are apt to do that do (I know almost self referential). But what I mean is, it's possible that people given to violence either didn't see the same deterrence so they acted, or as you are saying people who would be unlikely suspects were pushed over the edge and did this as a side-effect of the virus.
This reminds me of power-glitching my Atari 2600 (or "frying", in the 2600-enthusiast vernacular) to get odd "effects" in some games. It randomized the state of the system and, given the relative simplicity of the platform and the "one big loop" nature of most games you could actually get some interesting and useful results.
Actually, no, we are really not that far away. When you start building taller, you do start having four important issues. First, you start having issues destroying existing housing and replacing it with taller buildings, which in the period in between leads to less supply, and then the rent on the taller buildings often is barely lower than it was before.

You also start having issues with traffic, obviously, and air quality, which can easily get so bad that no improvement is possible any more, especially when you cannot force people to use very high performance public transit

The third issue is that as you are already at taller structures, it gets more and more expensive to make things taller still - not only are the existing structures already incredibly expensive to build and thus really expensive to replace, but the structures you replace them with are also more and more expensive.

Which leads to the result that simply increasing density is not a solution to the problem but instead a temporary fix, as you rapidly brush up against the density limits of your economics and infrastructure, such that even the very densest places such as Hong Kong have hugely unaffordable housing. And as you arrive to your limit, the 6-7% rent increase clock keeps ticking and ticking, sometimes even faster than you can reduce it via increased supply while you're doing a massive building, let alone when you're not anymore.

So yes, there is simply no way to fix skyrocketing rent by simply scaling cities vertically. The truth is that in the end there is a hard limit to how cheap you can make housing in a free market. And you're just stuck there. The root cause is that you can't build more land. So the only solutions that work long-term require at least partial decomodification.
Wait, how is this possible? There's an obvious integration point between your bridge server and the other service. They don't talk the same encrypted protocol, obviously, so you have to send plain text at some point in that process.

It makes zero sense that you don't have access to the messages.

>>I don't think very many people are saying it is impossible that Oumuamua was an alien construct

Listen to his interviews, he is talking about his colleagues at Harvard, not the general public. They are the ones saying things like "I wish it never existed because we can't explain it"

>>it is a pretty big fallacy to say "we don't understand it, therefore it was aliens".

Again, this is not at all what he is saying. Read his paper and listen to his interviews. It exhibits the signs and being an artificial construct, and he even points to a similar object that was detected that turned out to be a booster launched back in the 50s. You can't easily explain the acceleration of the object with known natural entities like comets and asteroids. It showed no plume nor ejecta, yet seemed to gain speed equivalent to 10% of its mass being ejected. The reason the booster did this was due to the push of solar winds on a thin shell of a hollow object. Hence the theory that this may be some kind of alien solar sail. It does have an extremely odd geometry. The renderings of it being a large turd of an asteroid is pure speculation. There is no clear picture of it. I bet if Voyager 1 made it to another star system it would accelerate also due to its thin surfaces and exhibit the same profile, albeit smaller. And we left a gold disk with our address on it. What if it has technology that we haven't even conceived of? It actually would be worth while for our species to mount an expedition to catch up with it and turn it around. Sounds expensive but wow would it be huge if it was an alien craft.
Those are tendons in fingers that respond to hypertrophy for climbing, or more specifically the tendon collagen, not muscles. But that's only one strength component of climbing, probably more so for bouldering specifically, but hand grip endurance and power also require forearm strength as well. I am not sure if that would be helpful for sitting in front of a computer.
It's because tech is systemically biased because they're majority liberal.

Unconscious bias exists; therefore they don't have strong inherent motivation towards addressing "out-there" left since they don't perceive leftists as being a threat.
The amount of press and public interest he’s drummed up likely encourages young folks to get into the field, raises the profile of the work, and encourages public support of more funding and exploration.

And, since he’s not wrong or right - just exploring possibilities and being imaginative, I think it’s pretty cool.

Why is that? Let's say we've emitted since about 100 years. They are bound by lightspeed like we are. Our wavefront hasn't reached them so far, OR it has, and they are about 50 lightyears away, busy building a slow annihilation fleet, arriving here anytime about 100 years from now, depending on how high up to lightspeed they can go?

It looks great, I would definetely subscribe but trusting a third-party with my IM data something I'm not comfortable with. Fundamentally, deploying a Matrix homeserver in the cloud is the same thing. Homeserver requires a public ip address or domain name, it's really hard to set up one at home.

I don't have enough information about Matrix protocol but, a raspberry pi image, or Dockerfile doesn't need IP or Domain, uses hosts file to trick the homeserver maybe, just supports bridges, would be perfect.

The 1% decrease is instantaneous at the opening of the building compared to other spaces where no building was done at 0%. It's not an annualized rate. "No impact" in the study means that there is no detectable correlation, not that rent doesn't increase nor decrease.

Beyond that, if it actually was a 1% total decrease (which it isn't), you can bet your ass the author would have written that as 7.6% relative decrease cause by construction, instead of 0-2%.
As the sibling comment points out, it actually doesn't work that way. The first parameter is only treated as a format string _if_ there are arguments. If not, it is treated as a literal string: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/dcea78ff53d02733ac598...

Trying to read that comment charitably, I honestly can't ascribe a motive to the "surprise". I've often stated I was "surprised" to learn something that was particularly detailed/nuanced in an area I already generally had fairly deep knowledge, especially if it revealed a new history or layer of depth I could integrate into my base knowledge.

I'm not saying that's definitely how I interpret it, but it's definitely a reasonable possibility. And I guess I wish more people here would at least try to read others' comments more charitably. At worst, your assumptions are right but you gave an opportunity for the other person to be better understood and for your own frustration level to pause before rising.

> How exactly do you think the BLM protesters are responsible for these murders, or could have acted to prevent them?

Here's a brief summary of violence that occurred in one day of BLM protests in the state of New York:

3 Buffalo cops run over

1 Bronx cop run over

2 NYPD officers assaulted

https://www.syracuse.com/state/2020/06/suv-rams-police-in-bu...

When looting and vandalism are allowed to reign supreme, the atmosphere alone sets the stage for more violence.

Violence begets violence, whether it's committed by BLM protesters or a mob of Trump supporters.

This is ignoring the obvious question: what are we not doing that we should be with researching Oumuamua on that basis?

What concrete experiments would prove its an alien construct as opposed to being just interstellar rock?

The scientific community isn't rejecting proposals to find more Oumuamua like objects, and has been actively trying to figure out how we could intercept another one when it turns up.

So what exactly is requiring us to start from "it might be aliens" in order to get funded?
For most people, the stimulus is just a bonus. Even if 30 percent of people lost jobs, they're the minority. I think the money would have been better used as a weekly stipend for those on unemployment, or those who lost income at least. I certainly don't need the 1800 bucks I got for my family of 3 on new year's, for me it's just money in the bank. I wish it could have gone to someone more needing, so maybe I'll donate it, but it shouldn't have even gone to me, is what I'm saying.
