The Laplace pressure is in addition to the static pressure. Working in gauge pressure you can ignore the air pressure and the pressure within the droplet.

Don’t confuse gauge and absolute pressure.

A 1m column of water is going to be a turbulent waterfall.

Remove surface tension and the liquid will form more complex shapes as it is less constrained to form a sphere. Instead of forming a droplet the stream will simply fall and break up as other influences dominate.

It’s an issue that exists now. How exactly is it that you think a poor person without a car is able to make use of the interstate?
Actually you have both 32 and 64 bit wire types:

- wire_type=1 64 bit: fixed64, sfixed64, double
- wire_type=5 32 bit: fixed32, sfixed32, float

Consider a valid protobuf message with such a field. If you can locate the field value bytes, you can write a new value to the same location without breaking the message. It's obviously possible to the same with the varint type too, as long as you don't change the number of bytes - not so practical, but useful for enum field which has a limited set of useful values (usually less than 128).

Pregenerating protobuf messages you want to send and then modifying the bytes in-place before sending is going to give you a nice performance boost over "normal" protobuf serialization. It can be useful if you need to be protobuf compatible, but it's obviously better to use something like SBE - https://github.com/real-logic/simple-binary-encoding
How do they actually check the total hours of CPU usage ?
Hah... I was being tongue in cheek with this list of usual suspects and assumed emacs implied org-mode for this. Made it explicit.
Thanks for your answer. I probably meant deferrables rather than optionals that were de facto required. Sorry I don't have a concrete example handy, it's been a while.

Guessing what you meant here if it wasn’t obvious:

A designer could have their own off-the-books compute cluster where they test out new ideas. Then only run the good ones on the official system.

I'd go out on a limb and say that it's McDonalds corporate that doesn't trust the franchise owner with the machine, not the manufacturer trying to swindle franchise owners.
Then why are people shitting over Google for attempting to created a censored search engine for China? I think the project was called Dragonfly.
Amtrak already does some screening and they increased their security like all others did from rental cars to busses to trains to planes. However the nature of flying has a much higher reach in terms of potential damage which was realized on 9/11 really.

Trains are less of a threat. Attackers can only really cause damage on a train to a section and maybe a derailment.

Plane terrorism is broader. With a plane everyone is at risk and the plane could be used to attack other things.

Train terrorism is limited. A train can't be taken off course. A train can't be all blown up. Even a massive derailment only affects a section. An attack would be a tragedy but it has rails so to speak on the reach of the damage. Maybe if they blew it up over a bridge or by a building in a city it could cause more damage or some other trigger like causing another disaster. You to have the threat of people setting explosives on the track. There was one of those in 1995 in Arizona where 1 died and 78 were injured, supposedly the attackers were avenging the Waco Siege. [1] Looks like that is the only terrorism event on trains in the US. [2] Subways and metros are probably more targeted in the city.

Well, in the case of Java there definitely are ways to minimize the boilerplate. Some of the more common ones that i use:

- Lombok library ( https://projectlombok.org/ ) generates all of the getters and setters, toString, equals, hashCode and other methods that classes typically should have (JetBrains IDEs allow you to generate them with a few clicks as well)
- MapStruct library ( https://mapstruct.org/ ) allows mapping between two types, between UserEntity and UserDto for allowing mostly similar objects or ones that are largely the same yet should be separate for domain purposes
- Spring Boot framework ( https://spring.io/projects/spring-boot ) allows getting rid of some of the XML that's so prevalent in enterprise Java, even regular Spring, and allows more configuration to be done within the code itself (as well as offers a variety of pluggable packages, such as a Tomcat starter to launch the app inside of an embedded Tomcat instance)
- JetBrains IDE ( https://www.jetbrains.com/ ) allows generating constructors, setters/getters, equals/hashCode, toString (well, there are covered by Lombok), tests, as well as allows for a variety of refactoring actions, such as extracting interfaces, extracting selected code into its own method and replacing duplicated bits, extracting variables and converting between lambdas and also implementing functional interfaces, as well as generating all of the methods that must be implemented for interfaces etc.
- Codota plugin ( https://www.codota.com/ ) offers some autocomplete improvements, to order them by how often other people used any of the available options, though personally there was a non-insignificant performance hit when using it

As far as i know, there is a rich ecosystem for Java to allow treating the codebase as a live collection of a variety of abstractions which can be interacted with in more or less automated ways, as opposed to just bunches of overly verbose code (which it still can be at the same time). Personally, i really like it, since i can generate JPA annotations for database objects after feeding some tools information about where the DB is and allowing them to do the rest, as well as generating web service code from WSDL (though i haven't used SOAP in a while and noone uses WADL sadly, though OpenAPI will get there).

And then there's attempts like JHipster ( https://www.jhipster.tech/ ) which are more opinionated, but still interesting to look at. I think that model driven development and generative tooling is a bit underrated, though i also do believe that much of that could be done in other, less structured languages, like Python (though that may take more effort) and probably done better in more sophisticated languages, such as Rust.
Tried this on a 7 month old AMD IdeaPad, which died suddenly during Win10 update. No luck.

Sent it back to Lenovo for warranty repair. Waiting on parts... estimate is 4 months!

Not sure if right-to-repair could have helped me get it fixed faster locally.
> First, you aren't forced to pay any tax, the ride-sharing company is. Businesses like to say that taxes are passed on to their customers, but that's not actually true

It absolutely is in the long run. Reduced margin means fewer competitors and subsequently higher sustained costs for riders. There is little barrier to entry in the “rideshare” market so as long as high margins exist competitors will keep entering with cheaper prices to eat at the margin.

There is no scenario in a competitive market where an input cost is not reflected in the output cost of a good/service.
And yet Microsoft was able to do very good phones with GC languages with very good performance for 200 euros, maybe Apple should talk to their runtime engineers.
I think libx265 is the baseline now BTW (correct me if I'm wrong).
That matches my experience as well. It also illustrates the divide in educational tracks, for lack of a better term, that I probably should have expanded on in my original post.

In addition to individual developers and development teams have the potential to be either the problem-solving or the theory building types, the path a person take to programming can go either of those directions. It is most apparent in the difference between a BS in CS from somewhere like Carnegie-Mellon (a bastion of high level theoretical CS education) and any code boot camp or online web-dev centric training course.
I recently moved to Belgium (Wallonie) coming from France, and it's a nightmare with regards to addresses… Even google has trouble finding my home address, or it's off by a few hundred meters.

I can't stress enough that it should be one of the job of the state to do this or make this happen (e.g. in France we have https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_adresse_nationale which, restrospectively, is probably why I never had any problem with addresses in France).
That would never occur to me — a homosexual will look at me lustily.

I feel men change clothes in private because women don't want to see them. And women prefer men not see them change clothes so they too change in private. So you separate the genders. Weird, I know.
I'd say: no.
Yes, in principle. Frustratingly, for a goal like 'moving around cheaply, conveniently and safely, with minimal environmental impact', then subsidising driving is a worse investment than public transport.
I don't think social media is inherently bad. It's just easy to weaponize it given enough resources.

If people continue to believe that public posts on Twitter and Facebook accurately reflect reality, and it's possible for governments to silently (or not silently!) censor those platforms, then social media becomes an incredibly effective tool for propaganda.

My personal solution is not to use any public social medium (places where I consume posts from anonymous strangers) except HN. Unfortunately that solution can't scale.
The headline is rather misleading when read on its own. Twitter didn't choose to block these tweets of its own accord; it did so in response to an order from the government of India.
Did they have laws against homicide? I took "But murder? That was family business." to mean they didn't have laws against homicide. It was up to each family to decide what to do about it on an individual basis. I could be wrong. I know nothing about Roman Jurisprudence.
> What's the point of being a free western country if the people that need the support most are the most ignored?

Unfortunately enlightenment / classically liberal values (different from leftist liberal values) have been on the decline in the US, particularly with younger generations. Free speech is one of those values under attack. Even the ACLU, under different leadership than in the past, is wavering on free speech (https://reason.com/2018/06/21/aclu-leaked-memo-free-speech/). James Kirchick spoke at length about this unfortunate evolution in a recent podcast (https://quillette.com/2021/04/09/podcast-144-james-kirchick-...).

The West (as nations, corporations, citizens, etc) is not in a position to proselytize on this front any longer. Although the US government is bound by the first amendment, we have effectively outsourced our right to free speech over to private monopolies that aggressively censor views that don’t fit progressive perspectives. Biden even recently said that no constitutional amendment is absolute, which seems like further normalization of erosion of fundamental rights.

With the floodgate of censorship already being opened in the West, it seems there is no one on the side of unfettered speech and intellectual freedom today. At the same time I understand why other nations are wary of both the power vested in social media and the influence of savvy or highly active participants therein. It’s a risk for local culture, politics, and stability to be undermined through that channel. Even European nations are increasingly skeptical of outside influences corrupting their sovereignty (https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/09/world/europe/france-threa...).
It seems clear to me that McDonald's is bad at training their workers to use the machine that other fast food restaurants don't have trouble with.
Seems naive to me to assume that a generation or so ago straight men had no clue that gay men existed ... among them!

While it may be in the open now, societally, I assume straight men always knew there were gay men everywhere. For all of human history.
Is this "the ice cream machine is always broken" meme has always puzzled me. I don't go often to mcdonalds but with my ex-gf we would stop by if we're on a trip somewhere and she'd usually get an ice cream. I don't think we ever encountered the ice cream machine being out of service. Is it more of an issue in the US or did we just have extremely good luck?

Twitter fought a court battle on this in India just a few months ago[a], [b]. The government even threatened Twitter Execs with jail time[0], [1].

Making this worse are the new Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021 (the “Intermediary Rules”)[3]. Among the many issues, they increase obligations on large social media platforms (above 5e5 users), enforce government takedowns within 36 hours, enable mandatory social media verification, enforce algorithmic (AI-driven) censorship and change intermediary liability to criminal. IFF has gotten one victory against these in court[2], but there's a long way to go.

TikTok's ban is different (and arguably reasonable).

The way TikTok manipulates its feed to serve the CCP's interests and influence public sentiment in the country is a threat. Things like downplaying the CCP's invasion of HK.

https://stratechery.com/2020/the-tiktok-war/

That's basically the opposite of what's happening here. TikTok's threat is foreign government manipulation of the public and the block is blocking that government manipulation.

Here if Twitter got blocked it'd be because they refused to implement the government manipulation - it's a difference in kind.
Yeah it's utter nonsense. This isn't comparable to plagiarism, and even if it were your story is about a stupid situation just like this one, where innocent, unrelated parties were associated with something they had nothing to do with. That you're somehow saying that this is justified or normal is absurd - we should accuse all students of the university of malice? Everyone tangentially related is guilty? Ridiculous, not even worth arguing against.

The university already apologized. Where is Greg's apology? Where is Greg's retraction for falsely accusing Adity?
I’d say you’re still in a somewhat decent position. I miss those times. The real worries start when you realize you’re spending the other half of your time fixing bugs that would have never come to existence if you wrote it the first time.

Heavy Trucks and Light Trucks Provide Power for the Crankshaft Market
The crankshaft is a component in a reciprocating piston engine that converts the kinetic energy of the piston's linear reciprocating motion into rotational kinetic energy. The crankshaft is mainly composed of a long rotating shaft and is the core component of the crank connecting rod of an internal combustion engine, which supports the force transmitted from the connecting rod, converts it into torque and outputs it from the crankshaft to drive other accessories to work. The power of the internal combustion engine and the entire mechanical system comes from the rotation of the crankshaft, so the crankshaft is also called the heart of the internal combustion engine.

The performance of the crankshaft, such as accuracy, stiffness and wear resistance, will greatly affect the operating effect and life of the internal combustion engine. It is one of the five core components of the internal combustion engine. It has an important impact on the vehicle's sports performance, fuel economy and environmental emissions.

Car infrastructure is not a public good.
I don’t know, should ask them. Maybe it’s because of the Googles PR giving the idea that they are not in the business of making money but organising world’s knowledge? Maybe they should ask Google why they don’t go non-profit.

Maybe Google backed down because damage on the brand in US would be greater than the expected profits from China? Maybe they back down because employees went political and Google didn't want to lose them?

Or maybe they are simply afraid that these new abilities will come back home?

If India requires twitter murder a child every time someone tweets, I sure hope they don't just say: "Well, I guess that's just their way of life" and continue operating.

Obviously India is requiring no such thing, but what about when China wants google to build them a censored search engine?

TIL that Kinder Surprise Eggs are illegal in the US.
Just to also a couple existing comments here, a problem solver is not necessarily an applied person or an engineer. It's someone who looks for interesting unsolved questions, and invents what needs inventing to get a solution.

By contrast, an engineer uses well established techniques (with creativity!) to build bridges that they know can be built. Diving into unsolved mathematical problems - especially the ones that have picked up a reputation - is inherently a riskier endeavor.

As the text says: 'the interesting problems tend
to be open precisely because the established techniques cannot easily be applied.'

It's difficult to imagine how the underlying fault here is anything other than a latch-up[1] event, likely manifesting on a upstream controller/supervisory chip in the power distribution chain.

The description of this "flea power" reads like some cargo cult narrative that summarily conflates a handful of disjoint electrical characteristics/phenomena. It's like the modus operandi of interwebs consumerism.

The first draft of H.264 is over over 20 years old. And in most of these comparison they could use anywhere from Baseline to High Profile. Modern VP9 could compete with HEVC, 40% reduction of Bitrate is very reasonable between generations as long as it is not some insanely low bitrate which doesn't compress well.
The reason for the soda thing is that there's been an ongoing aluminum can shortage for over a year (apparently it's still a problem), so they've had to focus more on the more popular core sodas and other varieties have been a lot more sporadic.

Most of these type of tweets are just hoax and showing negative image of India, the PM, and the whole Corona Pandemic. Most of the images shows were from old incidents and programs, like the Kumbh mela pics. Thus most of these tweets are removed my the owners themselves either by uproar from followers, public or the government, what's wrong in that? People should not be using twitter for spreading lies, create panic among citizens and false news. And specially "The Wire" who has posted this news and is famous in spreading anti-govt news all the time !!!
If only the web was supported by visitors contributing to hosting costs of a visited page directly out of their internet bill, instead of advertisement supporting the web, and visitors paying a flat fee to their ISP regardless of their use.

Blogs could be sustained with little readership considering how cheap it is to host a lightweight website that sees little traffic, and larger websites like HN would pay for their hosting and on top of that maybe even have some funds to hire another dang. All of this could come without any advertisement, without dark patterns, tracking, tapping into our subconcious or primitive brain, and all the other evil genius ideas to come out of the advertisement industry. I can't help but think that this would create a better and perhaps less hostile place for everyone.
Any links for this? Since my experience shows that Ampere encoding blocks still aren't close to x264 / slow preset when it comes to saving bandwith and delivering quality.

Even with power savings it was usually more economically efficient to run encodes on a large (12+ core) machine than to deal with limited amount of nvenc slots on GPUs.
I think it's fair to _criticise_ local companies that are giving up certain morals to be able to make business in foreign countries. This creates some pressure and forces companies to consider either keeping the users in your home country happy or to make profits abroad.

We just can't expect the foreign country to change their laws or the company to break those laws.
