That's not fully correct. CDG and ORY have integrated (or close enough) high speed rail stations that serve other large cities, although that's probably not a great bet.

Most importantly, however, the law being discussed doesn't ban connecting flights. So a NYC -> Le Mans (say) would be allowed to fly through CDG, even though Le Mans is at around one hour by high-speed rail.

However, as there would be less traffic on these routes, I do expect some of them to be more expensive or even dropped altogether.

There's also a provision for "zero carbon" flights which would be allowed to operate on short distances.

Have you checked out the book "When Panic Attacks" by Dr David Burns? It's a book that's helped a few friends of mine with severe social anxiety. It's CBT, but you may benefit from a book more tailored towards anxiety, as opposed to more generalised negative thoughts.
> If you really think this is all correct behavior and IA is going to make your life better, start using it in production and you'll learn it the hard way.

Even if this may come out as a bit snarky, this is a very good, honest, and helpful answer. At least, it would be helpful to extremely skeptical people like me. I'm a bit like crazygringo, and I cannot be convinced of anything until I have tried it myself and dirtied my hands with it.

To crazygringo: for a concrete, real-world example, try to implement a Kalman filter (a very simple numerical algorithm) using interval arithmetic. It simply doesn't work. You'll see that you cannot extract any useful result from the output of the computation. The implementation of an "interval Kalman filtering" is a (niche) subject of current research, where various very complicated algorithms are being invented to try to reproduce the nice properties of Kalman filtering--even when using something obviously inappropriate like interval arithmetic. For an intuitive understanding, assume that the input data are quantized to integer values, so that the starting intervals are of length 1.
It’s a fair question. I’d say that if/after you’ve made your millions you may soon find that your life is no less empty, and that internal substance - however intangible - is all there is. The exogenous manifestations of it are honour, duty, morality and so on. I think the Stoic literature best explains it if ever you’re interested.
Clearly you haven't had to change your benefits in your 20 year career. I briefly worked for the state 5 years ago, and had to fax them my social security number to elect for benefits. No receipt at the other end other than benefits being successfully pulled the next paycheck. Fax works its way in to some roles where it is entrenched, namely HR.

Semi-related: Do you think we’ll ever see a substantial reduction of pre-flight times? Why can’t we go through check-in and board directly, after an immediate security check? (Needless to say, this requires a brand new type of airport)

Some airports are in a good position to implement this already: Singapore airport has security checks right at the gate so you go through them and wait a short time in the seating area. When the plane is available, boarding happens immediately. What’s missing here is that the check-in desk is still way before this point.

I feel like this stretches the meaning of value into deep space. It's a speculative monetary value, based in confidence of return.

Its value evaporates with that confidence. It only takes one person or ban from one country to start a cascade sell off, and see its value go off a cliff.

DDT is not that hazardous to mammals.[1] The problem is that it's persistent. It's very stable. That's bad for agricultural use, but it was good for its use in home construction, where spraying it inside walls killed bedbugs for many decades. Nothing we have today is as effective.

The sea lion cancer problem seems to be a sexually transmitted disease. [2] Pollution may make this worse, but it's not clear that DDT is the culprit. Some sources say PCBs may be responsible.

That's correct. But as others have noted, Paris is the "center" for most anything. There's very little demand for travel between any pair of two (major) cities other than Paris.

I should look this up for details, but I seem to remember that there's a train route running parallel to the southern border that was abandoned for lack of demand. And there are some major cities there (Marseille, Montpellier, Toulouse) which aren't all that far apart.
Maybe those guys use them because they can or that they haven't caught up with the trend.

In my country, everyone uses a smartphone (practically speaking). Delivery, repair, inspection people, all use their smartphones to take photos and upload to destination via an app.

Apart from being convenient, this has a side effect that the organization can push device cost onto individual contractors and lay people. I'm fully certain western countries will catch up with this trend just to save a buck.

Planes don't crash all at once every few years and resume flying only when the airports renegotiated the basic laws of physics. What you are referring to as "re-calibration" in planes and rockets is actually stochastic control and is a completely different topic to calibrating a stochastic model. But hey, I guess you like your metaphors like your risk models: incorrect.

Wilmott covered model robustness and calibration frequency. Any time you have to adjust an unobserved term in your SDE (like market price of risk, for example) you are changing the model. So if your model has to be changed every x minutes else it gives wrong results, you're not "adjusting your inputs", you are just using T/x shitty models.
I don't think that full access to all memory and SUBLEQ architecture must happen at the same time. For instance, you can already run a 100% ring-0 operating system on top of x86_64 (e.g. DOS, TempleOS, Mezzano), but it should also be possible to equip a SUBLEQ CPU with some kind of programmable MMU with memory protection that will cause segfaults to happen when invalid addresses are accessed.

(And then you'll need syscalls to actually jump to the proper ring and access that memory, and such stuff, which might go against the political agenda of DawnOS.)
> That said, I think this exactly shows one of the benefits of liberialisation of the rail market: it allows other companies to serve routes that the nationalised operator does not want to.

It really does not. Private companies won’t invest in the un-profitable routes that are the most important for half the country. Instead, they’ll eat into the margins of the established companies on high profit main lines, which are used to subsidise secondary lines at the moment. So either we’ll need more public subsidies and incentives, or these routes just won’t be served. It’s good if Railcoop can keep the route open (supported by local councils, so public money), but this won’t redeem the privatisation project overall. Doing this for all important secondary routes will be more expensive than a well-run public operator

The trouble is, we tried lots of ideas in D. Most worked out very well. But there are a few weeds which I'd really like to take behind the woodshed. But some users are wedded to them, and we really don't like breaking their store, which can be a bit frustrating.

It's sorta like designing your own house. I'm lucky enough to have done it. 20 years on, and it's mostly right. But there are a few maddening mistakes that would be terribly costly to fix.

For example, the garage has 8 feet of headroom. Dammit, I need 10 so I can put a hydraulic lift in. It's really hard working under the car without one. I also should have put in a geothermal heating system, which would have been really cheap when the property was all dug up. I could have saved $$$ in heating bills over the years!
I actually do have a landline. My internet company told me my bill would go up by $10 a month if I dropped the landline service from my internet+landline combo. Welcome to the free market where I have this or DSL. I don't have a phone hooked up to it, nor do I even know the number.

This is a well-known failure of Chinese corporate law. I’m surprised there isn’t a standard workaround through which the holding company can orphan the Chinese subsidiary (everywhere but China, of course).

> not calling, using setter of an instance shouldn't update in database by default omg, It shouldn't be possible for transactions to leak outside some easily specified scope - I've seen one project where transaction leaked to Jackson!! Jackson was calling getters on fields and executing DB queries. JSON ended up as 2.6Mb instead list of 10 fields.

I saw a similar problem with some old codebase where I work. There is some Velocity templates that shows information stored on database entities (yeah... bad idea). And sometimes, we got some mysterious errors about transaction closed. Well... Results that Velocity calling the getters of these beans, can trigger a JPA/Hibernate query to get some additional data that has been loaded before. And this could happens after we close the database transaction.
Thanks for the link. I noticed some of these OEMs had started implementing their own "more reliable" PushKits, but I am guessing that the privacy implications are quite bad so it's basically a non-starter.

I proposed the idea of changing majors to my parents 2 years ago, they did not allow it so I did not change majors. Now it's too late to change majors and would cost me a lot of money which is also probably going to stress me out even more and give more burden to my parents. Do you think a postgrad CS is worth the time? I think changing undergrad majors is just impossible in my case
You say

> On the other hand, I believe "I ain't do any drugs" is ungrammatical in AAVE

But the OP says

> "I ain't do any drugs" is a normal, grammatical sentence in AAE

And you concede that the OP is an expert and you are not.

For what it’s worth, and it’s not much because I’m neither a linguist nor a native speaker of any kind of English, I consume a lot of content made in AAE and have friends who speak it, and I would not bat an eye at seeing or hearing ”I ain’t do any drugs”. I think your interpretation of the grammar is too strict.

"The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world [that the needs of the few outweigh the needs of the many]"
Simple answer: There was already an enormous stock of data on punch cards.

So it's rather the other way round: While early computers, like the UNIVAC I, used tapes (in this case magnetic tape) in order to separate themselves from the IBM data empire, IBM was facing a hard competition for its conventional punch card appliances in the Bull Gamma 3, which lead to the massively successful IBM 1401. In this respect, the 1401 was just the next step after electromechanical punch card appliances. Compatibility to existing data stores was a major selling point for IBM computing equipment.
Ironically it’s other way around. The reason why flights are so cheap is because they are privatized and there is heavy competition. US used to have heavily-regulated air travel. Once it was de-regulated prices went down.

Since railroads require very expansive infrastructure, have natural competition limitations (two companies can’t send two trains on the same path at the same time), they are heavily regulated, and as such there is less competition, and thus no invisible hand of the market helping to lower the prices.
I think the problem here is security checking, and not just because it adds time, but because it adds a highly variable AMOUNT of time.

Queueing theory says that unless you massively overprovision on available security screening stations, there's always going to be a long tail of latency for getting through security. For example, if a burst of people arrive all at once then you could take an hour to get through, whereas if you arrive at just the right moment you might only need 5 minutes.

The second part of the puzzle is that the plane costs a lot to be sitting around while people board. So it's important the plane spend as little time boarding as possible, which means passengers need to all be available to board at the same time.

I don't really see any other solution to these requirements except for passengers to arrive early enough that the worst-case security latency still gets them to their boarding on time, which means a long seemingly-useless wait for the vast majority of passengers who don't get unlucky.

Of course, the real solution to all of this is to discard or streamline the security theater that happens at airports, but that's a political problem, not a technical one.

Exactly, the electron produced by the decay of tritium have an energy that is
distributed between 0 and 18.59 keV (the Q value of the reaction), with an
average of 5.68 keV (this is pretty low compared to other common radiation
sources). The rest of energy is shared between the neutrino (which practically
never interacts with matter) and the residual nucleus (which is very massive
compared to the electron and thus can't travel far). So, electrons are the
only source of concern here.

Electrons can deposit energy in two ways: one is by bremsstrahlung, which is
basically EM radiation (X rays, usually) emitted during a fast deceleration
caused by another ion; or by ionising neutral atoms and breaking bonds.
Bremsstrahlung is only significant at much higher energies, so this leaves
ionisation. The energy lost per unit length (-dE/dx) depends on the electron
energy and can be computed using the Bethe-Bloch formula.
Integrating this quantity yields the particle range R = ∫_E₀ ⁰dE (dE/dx)⁻¹.

An empirical formula that can be derived from this is the following:

R = 1/ρ 0.44cm E^(1.265 - 0.0954 log(E))

where ρ is the medium density (in g/cm³) and E the electron energy (in MeV).
In water you get: R = 4 μm for the average energy and 50 μm for the maximum
energy, which is extremely rare, by the way.
Note that to damage tissues, radiation must reach the radiosensitive layer of the skin at depths greater that 40 μm.
It's a market convention, with as much predictive power as knowing options used to be quoted in vol points.

The real problem with any SSG is where to host and edit Markdown files and images for flexible spur of the moment content creation. I've built my own Wordpress-export-to-static solution to use the native iOS App as a workaround but it feels somewhat clunky — Same with having to run a headless CMS for this in the background; Surprisingly with all the gazillion of MD editors, no one has ever built one with live editing files in, say, S3 + allowing to upload assets.
And no, I don't consider content composition in a terminal window to be an inspiring environment because I'm a sucker for aesthetic apps.

Addendum: Mobile is just an added bonus. Best solution for me would be iA Writer as an editor, native image upload to a bucket like S3 and Apple allowing me to tap into these iCloud hosted .md files via an API. Then use a simple script to put the pieces together and move the stuff to Netlify or wherever.

Complete garbage.

There isn't a single sustainable country in the whole of developed world. All governments are insolvent and any growth is direct consequence of (a) out of control budget deficits and (b) central bank machinations and theft of savings through negative real interest rates

The unhealthy growth through excessive spending and inflation can continue, but it can't last.

Because as long as people figure out that it may last, fiat currencies will collapse:

"But if once public opinion is convinced that the increase in the quantity of money will continue and never come to an end, and that consequently the prices of all commodities and services will not cease to rise, everybody becomes eager to buy as much as possible and to restrict his cash holding to a minimum size."

I'm trying to reconcile with the stuff I've read and heard recently about how France (a country where 80%+ of the electricity comes from nuclear) is trying to move away from nuclear. It makes zero sense; it makes absolutely no sense at all.

Germany has also been shutting down its nuclear plants, and switching to (freaking) coal power in the interim instead. It's horrid beyond words.

Yes, and that is a very bad idea as it often makes it much worse over time. Many people I have talked to who were or are drinkers, talked about their hangover as a certain weird feeling they can only stop by drinking. When asked a more detailed description, they describe full blown anxiety attacks. And they need more and more drink to stop them. I got many people to see a doctor and to stop drinking to attack anxiety that way. Liver damage apparently also makes it worse so... There are hard alcoholics who probably have this too but they also have physical withdrawel which is a much more difficult path; most people I mentioned above were having a few drinks per day to not feel like dying from this 'hangover' and could stop the same day without withdrawel (using alprazolam and therapy for instance).

Someone did the same for me a long time ago and I am very thankful for that still so I try to do it as well when I see possible sufferers. It is pretty crazy how little people know about it still, but they do light up when I describe all their symptoms.
I am being flippant about a topic where HN readership thinks that their cursory knowledge of it makes them experts.
