On the other hand, doesn’t that mean that a workload that inserts new sortable uuids would experience lots of contention, while one that inserts random uuids would better spread load? (This is probably more significant in a distributed database sharded by uuid, where this means all the write load is going to one shard at a time.)

Ask HN: How to locate a stolen, turned off DJI drone?
I've recently been the victim of a theft, where they stole several things, including a DJI FPV drone.

I have been unable to find a way to locate the drone - my understanding is that it has a transponder and that DJI should be able to know its location at all times, including when it's turned off.

Anyone has any clue and could help?
Just the first sentence already would be an improvement, as now people will probably just bounce seeing a login button with no explanation.
https://blogs.nasa.gov/parkersolarprobe/ has good information and a graphic illustrating the orbits of the probe.

BTW, "touches the sun" means 6.5 million miles away. To try to put that in perspective:

"One astronomical unit (AU) represents the mean distance between the Earth and our sun. An AU is approximately 93 million miles (150 million km). It's approximately 8 light-minutes." [0]

The probe at its closest orbit will be orbiting at very approximately 1/14 of an AU. And (again very approximately) 34 light-seconds from the Sun.

Well, again, if the x86 code morphing software is available and open source, and if someone understands this software and can modify it -- then that's infinitely infinitely better (from a security perspective) -- than having to run x86 code directly on a regular AMD/Intel x86 processor...

In the latter case -- you have absolutely no control whatsoever over how the processor interprets and dispatches its x86 instructions...

I thought I remember my SUV rentals having the upgrades for screens in the back and other bells and whistles. Most kids in the past 5+ years have their own tablets or phones, anyway. In my experience, the bigger the vehicle, the more likely it's a new model year (outside of transport).

I'm sure certain things like a winch might be hard to get. I know I've specifically requested 4x4 a few times and I've never had the need to ask for tire chains. If you have a particular need, like towing something or you like to go mudding, you'll probably need your own vehicle.

That's just unacceptable to not provide a jack. I know some vehicles, like Mini Coopers, have run flats and don't even offer a spare or jack. That always made me uncomfortable (and it sucks to pay way more for tires with a worse ride).
What many of you do not realize is the writing of POSIX scripts, for Windows, and how this is done.

GPT-3 is already better than most blog comments, many bloggers, and most online text porn. Maybe most ad copy. Many pundits. Some college professors.

It has no clue what it's talking about, of course. It's terrible at fact-based material, because what comes out looks plausible, but contains made-up facts. Some facts will be correct, because they were mentioned a few times in the training database. Others are just plausible words strung together.

What it really demonstrates is that much of literature has less behind it than was previously supposed.

Even given their nuclear weapons origin, we lowly civil nuclear power engineers still use Monte Carlo methods all day every day. We all make our employers buy big supercomputers or get us access to the national lab leadership class HPC to just pound the hell out of our reactor design problems with random particle transport chains. Sure there are (dramatically) faster deterministic methods that are generally good enough, but Monte Carlo allows you to use exact geometry and not bother too much with the pesky art of computing average nuclear interaction probabilities.

Heck, my buddy at MIT made an open-source Monte Carlo code called OpenMC that's now run by Argonne National Lab [1]. Now everyone can do truly legit reactor design with Monte Carlo!

Me too for very different but similar reasons.

I tend to take my time adding code, anything from a few lines an hour to a few lines a month. So the moments where I do are like adding a few careful brush strokes to a painting and seeing its character change immediately.

In between, I read about things related to my problem, I think on walks, waking up and going to sleep, and during more active times I have worked on a problem in my dreams all night.

The mornings after "dream work" always feel magical. I realize how repetitive and grindy dreams are. Seems that my mind goes over the exact same ground dozens of times, without any normal daytime fatigue, then figures something out like finally seeing a gem after scraping away meters of rock.

Yes. Just about everyone on the planet is aware that Yahoo is a cursed company that you should stay extremely far away from, but if you look exclusively at the two divisions it does well in (three if you include Japan, which you shouldn't as it's basically a separate company) then they're actually totally competent and profitable systems, which would justify this price tag on their own quite handily.

Given the recent Yahoo! Answers news, it seems like Apollo is thinking along the same lines, and are only interested in the good bits of this acquisition.

From what I’ve seen, I’d say around 50-60% of the world population lives in poverty or close to it.

But take the States. In the 1980s, having a 120,000 usd annual salary would be insane. You could buy a nice place in Santa Barbara for that money.

Due to inflation, that same salary buys much much less in today’s money.

Give it another 20 years, 120k per year will buy even less than that.

But now consider that most people in the 80s would make 20-40k per year. That was enough to have a good life on the high end. A decent car, a house in a good area with a mortgage.

Can you do that now? No. Not unless you live in the sticks, and good luck finding a job there!

So to suggest that engineer salaries should be “more reasonable” is basically saying you want people to be poor in twenty years. Because that’s exactly what will happen.

Oh and your future 40k per year job will be even harder to make ends meet, if nigh impossible, because most jobs will not be in cheap areas to live.

Hell, even the cheaper areas to live are more expensive now.

Japan by far had the most confusing and hardest to use metro of any major city I've been to. Stations with the same name that could only connect by exciting and reentering. Platforms with the same number at the exact same station. It's amazing what happens when multiple companies all own different parts of the network, but success would definitely need a better defined metric here.

One comment a friend said that always stuck with me was "I have never regretted any time I spent with my children".

Compare that to work. I'm sure we all have regrets with work. Late nights or weekend working on something that didn't turn out to be worth it. Or working for somebody that didn't turn out to be worth it. But kids? Always worth it. Spend your time wisely.
"He who joyfully marches to music rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, senseless brutality, deplorable love-of-country stance and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder. Also, here's how to build a huge-ass bomb."
The only thing that has sort of worked for me so far is a recent program I enrolled in. It does an hr of meditation in the morning and an hr of offline learning in the evening.

Meditation is a pretty good exercise, I think, and it does help in resting your mind.

The sheer difficulty in maintaining focus for those few hours, made me extremely conscious about the continuous distractions and excitement seeking (online) habits that I suffer from.

I feel I am becoming better at self-realizing the problem and self-correcting them nowadays.
Not quite great, but better for sure.

The devil is in the details. Just because a jurisdiction has an LVT doesn't mean it achieves the lauded goals. Strictly speaking, the only difference between an LVT and traditional property tax is whether or not improvements are included in the valuation.

What that allows you to do is more aggressively tax the land--faster readjustments, and with a much higher tax rate. To the extent you do this, you incentive more efficient land use. But in practice jurisdictions don't do this. If you read the literature on Pennsylvania and Mexicali it becomes clear that this isn't politically viable, and so LVTs there are watered down w/ tons of exemptions and a very skittish assessor's office, and don't actually behave much different than regular property taxes.

Lo and behold, when I dig up the details on Estonia I find the same thing. AFAICT, 1) principles residential homes are exempt (specifically, the land the principal residence sits on). 2) The tax rate is capped at 2.5%, but can be as low as 0.1%. I'll bet that property reassessments in Estonia aren't particularly aggressive; but even if they were, 2.5% isn't very much for just the land value. The median rate in the U.S. is 1%, but that includes land value and improvements; and is as high as 2% in some places.

LVTs just aren't politically viable. When a property assessor's office is faced with reassessing the value of land in a way that forces existing homeowners to sell, they're just not going to do it. And even if they tried, a pro-Georgist LVT assessment tends to be much more speculative because they need to guess what could be built on that land, not what is actually being built nearby. Where they've tried to do that, you either see corruption, a "reluctance" to reassess (see Mexicali and elsewhere), or voter revolts. This is very much how California got Prop 13--the fear of reassessments forcing people out of their homes.

Don't forget, a regular property tax can also be used to promote densification. In theory it's not as efficient, but in most cities vast swaths of land have uniform density, so this efficiency concern isn't implicated nearly as much. And yet, predictably, attempting to use property taxes for social engineering always falls flat. Threaten the [perceived] security of family and retiree homeowners and see how well you do in the next election. All the promises of a better, more equitable future won't save you.

I bet if you look at how LVTs are implemented in all those other countries given by Wikipedia, you'd see the same thing: an LVT in name only, a pliable assessor's office, giant loopholes, etc.

There's nothing inconsistent with the idea that a decade after Google established its extremely strong monopoly position in the search market, the barriers to entry, and the way to achieve success in the now established market are completely different than they were before Google achieved that monopoly and the market was as mature.

If they were indeed upending terrorist plots once a year I could maybe understand.

Do they not? I feel like I read about the FBI foiling plans to blow up this or that multiple times a year.

For example this, which happened in the past month: "FBI arrest man over alleged Amazon centre bomb plot" (https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-56719618)

I find the same abundant misrepresentation about SSL.

SSL is important but a valid SSL certificate doesn't mean a site is safe.

An invalid (or nonexistent) SSL/TLS certificate doesn't mean a site is illegitimate.

A site without a user facing login really doesn't need SSL. And SSL is pointless on said site if it's for instance a Let's Encrypt.
