I played at fairly high level as a GK (you have to take a word for random guy on HN out of all places saying it) and it was common knowledge or something that was being taught from young age at higher levels.
Maybe I just thought sort of everyone knows it and pay for attention when I hear commentators /studio talking about it. But you can think of it how many penalties, or rather fouls against keeper, they give when keeper jumps into someone inside the six yard box - I don't have statistics at hand but bet tons of money 6 yard box vs penalty area.
When they spin in the same direction. Spinning creates the effect similar to magnetism.
Over-simplifying it does not change the fact that it is literally the most complicated system that exists today to just run a web server. The most complicated system of anything is going to be more difficult than the alternatives.
I would like to know what the global amount of quiescent hashing power being wasted/unused on devices that could be contributing at a low priority to crypto mining.

Increasing the number of low hashrate miners while at the same time increasing the networks total hashrate would force the difficulty to increase and possibly make power hungry mining operations no longer economically viable and could have the added benefit of a more robust, more decentralized system.

Everyone assumed the correct limit was just Newton's gravity, but it's abundantly clear that can't be right what with gravitational waves existing.

I think the author's, and other's points over the last decade or so has been "Newton neglects too much in the weak field" and that neglected bit isn't insignificant. The surprise here is that sticking that little bit -- which is needed for gravitational waves and in general the finite speed of gravitation interactions to occur -- appears to eliminate the need for dark matter in galaxy rotation curves.

Most surprising is that no one questioned the Newtonian limit being used despite weak field GR and Newton's laws predicting different phenomena.

The real test will be if CMB and other precision observations also work w/o dark matter.

No, of course not. No one claimed otherwise.
These ideas don’t point towards any animosity towards homosexuals, just a theory about how they might be attracted to trans people. Not really comparable to conversion therapy — no one is forcing you to date a trans man.
I'd agree that it's explosive. I suspect they were trying to make a distinction between a detonation and a deflagration. A detonation is an explosion with a supersonic shock wave. A deflagration is an explosion without such a shock wave. An oil fire getting water dumped on it is a deflagration, but almost certainly not a detonation. A metal fire getting water dumped on it can result in a detonation. Detonations are vastly more destructive in general than deflagrations.

Some of those hardcore punks were driven around to the sound of Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Lennon’s “Imagine”... Elvis was utterly scandalous in his time (“those hips, what filth!”), and I bet he was on a lot of radios when Malcolm McLaren and his protégés were growing up.

Any successful culture, be it sub- or counter-, will eventually be swallowed by the mainstream. That’s because a culture is such only if it gets transmitted from person to person. Denying transmission is not counter-cultural, it is anti-cultural: it denies its own validity. Which is why I laugh at the elitism and pretentiousness of articles like these, who want to be purer than pure then take their clues from the likes of MTV Unplugged. The search for purity in culture is a fool’s errand, one might as well burn every page one writes. In reality, culture has to be transmitted, and the purists are just another bunch of competitors desperately trying to elbow everybody else with what little leverage they have.

The modern lack of visible “alternative” cultures is simply due to the fragmentation and recombination that new media have allowed. Guthenberg has invented his press a few years ago, Luther just started writing his thesis, and we are all here wondering why amanuensis culture is not as vibrant as it was.

If I chuck a baseball out of an airplane I don't have to worry about accelerating the baseball to the airplane's speed, as I am also traveling at that speed.

Similarly, if a satellite is light enough in low-G to grab and manipulate from a craft that has straddled up along side it, would a single astronaut have enough strength to use his arms to put a satellite on a path that is effectively out of the way? Or could they just chuck it back at the earth so it can burn up on reentry?
You're not wrong but this is a sign of a very broken system and the people least able to deal with it on even footing are people who may be in extreme pain or delirious from their injury.

I looked up the obvious stuff: process isolation and sandboxing, fully expecting not to find any good info on that or security support/lifecycle. Instead, this actually seems pretty interesting. https://qutebrowser.org/doc/faq.html

"Most security issues are in the backend (which handles networking, rendering, JavaScript, etc.) and not qutebrowser itself.

qutebrowser uses QtWebEngine by default. QtWebEngine is based on Google’s Chromium. While Qt only updates to a new Chromium release on every minor Qt release (all ~6 months), every patch release backports security fixes from newer Chromium versions. In other words: As long as you’re using an up-to-date Qt, you should be receiving security updates on a regular basis, without qutebrowser having to do anything. Chromium’s process isolation and sandboxing features are also enabled as a second line of defense."
I don't agree with it what so ever because I've been at the same situation. Businesses, especially online, are not only made by some Silicon Valley of the local types.

Wow, that laser looks enormous by today's standards! We take tiny, dirt cheap, diode lasers for granted now, but it really casts some perspective on how ambitious the format was in 1982.

I do gain some wry amusement from all the business about "scratch-proof" and the way he said "it doesn't matter how much I manhandle the disk, it will continue to give very good quality" - while holding it gingerly from the edges! Of course we all know now that CDs must be treated with essentially the same care as vinyl records. Tape cassettes were the real durable format. (Bonus chuckle: the lady presenter at the end who has obviously taken "fingerprint-proof" at face value, holding up an absolutely filthy disc...)

Very prescient prediction at the end; the obsolescence of the compact disc was indeed precipitated by the development of solid-state storage, over 20 years later. "Don't laugh!" she assures us. Indeed...
The intent is socially entrenched though - it's not just c-level executives calling for keeping the government out of healthcare. America has a real problem with anything that even smells like socialism or egalitarianism.
Yes, let's rely on word play to make it seem that ethereum isn't being actively upgraded as we speak ;)

Kidding aside, I would think that most people understand "what has he not yet delivered on" as "he's completely broken his promise and he's no longer working on it". I didn't have a "yet" in that sentence.

It does seem like it’s engineered towards making profits in extremely unethical ways?

I get they need to make money, but many times it seems like hospitals/doctors sent out bills just hoping people will pay.

Me, and my father used to have great union insurance (Cadillac plans). For years their were no problems. That started to change in the late 90’s.

1. I once got a $900 lab test from a hospital. They knew I had insurance. I called multiple times, and told don’t worry about it, but I still got the bills. Lather I saw what the the hospital charged my insurance company, and it was $90 for the test. I paid $9 for my premium. Isn’t in the hospitals interest to send out bills just hoping I might pay $900?

2. My mom is sent so many bills even though she has the same plan.

My point is there are no laws against sending out bills. Hospitals/doctors might not have it written down anywhere, but just send out a bill, and let the patient clean up the mess with their insurance company seems like a good strategy—for the heathens?

My mom had a bad tooth a few years ago. Went to her dentist, and he demanded cash upfront—conveniently on a Friday, and he knew she had great insurance. She paid because of the pain. She called up a few weeks later, and asked for a refund. She gave $2500, and insurance (Delta Dental) paid 90% of the bill. She kept calling the dr’s office, but always was told we need to contact the insurance company. I finally got on to a Delta Dental worker, and started to explain the situation. The work seemed to know exactly what I was trying to say. In thirty minutes, after Delta called the doctor, a highly apologetic money manger said we are sending off your check today. (I won’t publicly saw what the representative implied here of the doctor here.)

3. My father once went to Marin General for a routine hernia surgery. My father was beyond a hardened man. I saw him close to crying once, and it over taxes. Well he woke up after the surgery, and their was a Teddy Bear, and bouquet of flowers waiting for him. It wasn’t me, I told him. Anyways it was a mystery until he got his bill. Beyond the typical $12 Tylenol’s, there was a $330 psychological enrichment fee. Yes—that was the hospital charging my father, and insurance for the unasked for gift.

So it is it seems like it’s in their best financial interest to overcharge, do unethical things, and hope people just pay?

Is that engineered—-in my book yes.
My son has a group of friends at the Uni, some of them in his same school, some of them in nearby schools, some of them are in the neighbourhood... half of them are from high school, the other half are from Minecraft discord groups.

They have a weekly meeting in a Uni cafeteria and use indistinctly Discord or Instagram as chat. Instagram has replaced WhatsApp as the regular phone chat.

All of them have wider net-only groups of acquitances.

Lol, are we going to bomb their corn fields next.

Exactly how could it be used by the military?

I don't know, but I feel like a satellite worth only $15 million and released from the space station wouldn't do much, but I might be pleasantly surprised tech has advanced enough.

I don't get how on such a low orbit if would be useful to one country? I think it's called the MMSATS-1 (Lawkanat-1)

That is a common purpose of laws. Most laws in a "modern" society are probably some form of that. As special interests go, dairy farmers seem more ethically defensible than armaments manufacturers. I wish my nation were more like Canada.

24,000m/s is the difference in speed that the astronaut is already traveling with the speed necessary to get to the sun

Getting to the sun is really hard.

Chucking it back into the atmosphere is much easier, but GP was asking about throwing things into the sun.

That's why I got hospitalization-only insurance as soon as Trump allowed it... Obama-care was a joke... except for the pre-existing condition clause, maybe.
The Pirates of Pestulon? I like it, though perhaps it was the more "gimmicky" of the first three. They are my favorite Sierra adventures, in their unadulterated low-res, text-based, 16-color pixelated glory. Vohaul's Revenge is my favorite, perhaps because it was my first.

Are you saying ICE cars aren't at risk of incidental fire from other [burning] cars, what with their 10+ gallon gasoline tanks?

They definitely are (source: former firefighter here), but a deck full of Teslas's is more of a problem for the FD in some regards, than a corresponding deck full of ICE cars. The reason being, Teslas are known to be hard to extinguish when they burn, and are apparently prone to rekindles. I don't remember the exact number, but I seem to recall hearing that Tesla recommend flowing water on a burning Tesla for somewhere around 10 hours in order to cool it sufficiently to avoid a rekindle.

An average car fire (depending on certain details) can be taken care of in somewhere around an hour, from start to finish. So a bunch of Teslas on fire would require more resources committed for more time, which would possibly impinge on the ability of the FD to handle other calls.

Edit: here's the Tesla Emergency Response Guide[1].

According to the "Firefighting" section:

Battery fires can take up to 24 hours to extinguish. Consider allowing the battery to burn while protecting exposures.

Some things that count as churches may have sprung up to make such offers, but I am assuming most churches have been standing since before Covid, before Facebook, before Trump and Obama and Bush.

If say 40% of people are attending these gatherings, it's a tough sell that they are so far from mainstream as to be countercultural.

People have been visiting churches in search of unity, security, and joy for thousands of years.
Yes, Ethereum Mainnet isn’t much of a distributed computer in the Mosix sense (it’s more of a decentralized computer); but a private/protected PoA EVM blockchain very much would work to truly distribute computation.

Or, to put that another way: as long as all nodes can trust each-other (and so run entirely in fast sync, with no redundant verificational executions of the same blocks), then Ethereum does in fact allow N computers to work on pieces of N subproblems in parallel and use the state trie as a blackboard for syncing/linearization between those subproblems. (The actual heavy computation would have to occur outside the chain, in oracle sibling processes, but they could at least load their binaries from the state trie. Think of it like AI bot-clients cooperatively playing a MOO where users can define object code.) Essentially, Ethereum is a distributed database with Turing-complete CRDTs.

Mind you, nobody’s using Ethereum that way, but that doesn’t mean the underlying tech isn’t natively capable of being used that way. (Just like, say, oldschool fixed-function-pipeline GPUs could be used as GPGPUs, if you could translate your linear-algebra problem into an equivalent scene-geometry rendering problem.)
Uh! This is a good question. I studied Graphic design & Visual communication, and I wanted to work on film titles for my final dissertation, a topic that I’m particularly fond of. Of course, typography is one of the key ingredients of a film title, so I’ve started to study type and typography, and I basically never stopped. After several books, I pivoted and focused exclusively on typefaces. My final dissertation became designing a typeface for film subtitles (still hanging around cinema but from another perspective : ).

I guess today I’m still doing this for three primary reasons:

– It allows me to discover and learn new things daily. Letters are everywhere and with so many forms and functions that I won’t get never bored and as society and culture develops, so design does, including type design.

– It gives me full control of the design and production processes; I can make a typeface from the first sketches to the final delivery with no need of a print-shop, or a factory, or anything else. This also means that I’m fully responsible of all the problems you will see in my typefaces. But it’s ok, I like to be accountable for what I do : )

– It is a sort of monastic, iper-focused specialty that requires a lot of attention and discipline, and somehow fits pretty well with my designer persona. I find it to be a pretty zen activity.
That's weird. I mean, you do you, but if this is a popular opinion, I had no idea. On the contrary, I'm mildly annoyed when someone calls me to say something that could've said over the text.

And I don't think of it as a personal preference: async information exchange is objectively less intrusive, which is why it should be preferred when possible (which isn't always the case, because it's also objectively less fluent). Unless you are some girl I'm mindlessly infatuated with, I'm probably not waiting for you call all day long, so when you are forcing me to interrupt whatever I was doing, because you are calling to say something as simple as "so, you asked me about X the other day, the answer is yes" or to ask a simple question without any follow up (or, my favourite: a courtesy call with no actual information exchange): I'll be polite, of course, but I'll hate you.

If you want to ask or tell me something short: send me a text, I'll read and respond in 5 minutes, so that I don't have to interrupt what I'm doing right now. If it isn't short and you are too lazy to type: no problem, send me a voice-message. If you just want some chit-chat: ask me to go grab a beer (via text). If it's complicated and we'll need some back-and-forth, we should call each other, but I'll appreciate if you'll send a text/voice first, asking me to talk over the phone about X. And only if it's URGENT you call me right away. And because it's just sensible thing to do, when you are suddenly calling me, I'm already assuming it's URGENT: in fact, that's the only reason to answer you when you are calling, and not to call back when I'm in the mood. So when it turns out that it really wasn't, you are already an asshole, even if I don't show it.

this is an interesting observation, and it plays out exactly like this many times over in the 'Stellaris' RTS game.

Stable societies that stick to their own region while prioritizing research ('growing tall' is the name for the strategy) tend to win out in battles against those that 'grow wide', grabbing all resources and expanding into them with little regard to research and personal affairs.

Those that 'grow wide' tend to win the games through simple attrition on a long time-span at the end-game phase. Simple resource volume tends to be able to win against vastly superior forces, much like a StarCraft 'zerg-rush', and the superior force usually loses in a 'death by a thousand cuts' fashion -- but individual battles before this phase of the end-game are almost exclusively won by small civilizations that 'grow tall', much like the 'stable culture' of your example.

The 'Growing Tall' strategy tends to be the one chosen by players who like to end games early and play aggressively against the other players -- contrary to the sedentary and passive method of play that the strategy facilitates.
