thanks, so the rock that was heading towards earth at 1 m/s will technically not accelerate - with in its own reference point, but the rock will accelerate to the earth (from the earths reference point)

slight change of question, if the rock was heading directly in a straight line towards earth at 1 m/s, as the rock nears the earth it will accelerate (from the earths perpective) where has the extra energy come from? before it was heading at 1 m/s, but as it hits earth it will be travelling much faster
I did that on purpose, simply to voice my opinion.

Let's say I vote to see less article like this one on HN.

This is merely annoying, not enough to warrant a full debunk.

Paying out an amount that’s equal to more than 1 day of local police salary?

This is nothing but a silly PR stunt with zero intention of ever paying out, otherwise they’d be offering 100x this much.
Yep, though massless particles must follow null geodesics specifically.

Yeah, the ant analogy isn't the best, though it does show off that movement on a curved surface needs "corrections" from the movement on a flat surface (and the degree to which that occurs happens to entirely characterize curvature itself).

If you force the ant to always travel on a great circle, then it might be a little more precise :)

Which is added in to the finance charges or amount borrowed. Ever wonder why the salesmen always want to negotiate a "payment" amount instead of a purchase price?

> No they'd just have sold to someone willing to pay their price.

And I'd have just gone to another dealer willing to work with me on my terms.

True, and that causes higher prices overall. But negotiation strategies for getting the best deal haven't changed.

Although I lived through these events, I was far too busy optimizing my MySpace profile to notice.
The language is wonderfully expressive, which is experienced most strongly when making or using powerful libraries. Because C++ can capture semantics so well, libraries can be easy and safe to use, yet much faster than you could afford to code yourself. So, you can use libraries with no worry that you may be costing yourself performance.

Because the libraries can be so nice, you can code at a level where bugs mostly are revealed at compile time: if your code compiles, it usually runs right the first time; or if not, it is easy to see why. Most potential bugs are in the library code, but being a library used in many programs, it commanded enough attention to be made and kept correct and fast.

The above is why Rust will not displace C++: there are thousands of times as many competent C++ coders as Rust coders of any degree, and the problems Rust prevents don't happen in competent C++ coders' programs, but the extra work to make Rust code possible is not needed. In a very real sense, C++ libraries are doing the job reserved to Rust's compiler, which is a sensible choice because you needed libraries anyway.
Well the even parts of Europe where USSR won those countries lost. Only Europe “won” by US/Britain can be considered free/independent. Those who were on the USSR side were hardly better off under USSR than Nazi Germany.
Nuclear is the only way to reduce our carbon emissions in both the short term and long term, and the best way to produce energy per unit than any other energy source.

When you remove nuclear from existing supply, you increase your dependence on fossil fuels. Renewables are not able to produce enough energy to cover the absense of nuclear, perhaps in the future, but not with our current engineering.
You can’t measure the risk of a rare event like this. Accidents are (thankfully) rare events. There is too much variability with a single person. You can really only measure these risks across an entire fleet of cars. Rare events are Poisson distributed, which requires many observations to be significant.

So your question should be, across all cars, how many accidents have there been with and without blind spot monitors? Even then, it would be hard to control for all other factors (newer cars have blind spot monitoring, but are also safer in general, you need to compare similar years, traffic conditions, etc).

All of that to say — any single comment online is just an anecdote.
It’s not just about supporting new processes. Many tool/machine vendors are backlogged by years because they simply don’t have the capacity to make more than a few of those machines every year. Even if someone wanted to invest in new manufacturing, they would likely have to wait a few years to start production.

Secondly, some legacy manufacturers of semiconductor parts lost money on their capacity-building investments during the dot-com burst. The semiconductor industry is brutal and there is a genuine fear that overcapacity will make it hard to deal with any bust that happens after this boom.

Its often used as a slur, as if it is a form of sub-meaningful literature.
Quite possibly. The 80's and 90's were an awfully a long time ago, so I can only refresh my memory from what's on the screen and in the manuals.

For what it's worth, the about box on my older PowerBook shows "System Software 7.1" and the manual simply says "system software" (i.e. not a proper noun).
War ended with 5 million pissed off Russian Potato farmers riding into Berlin on GM trucks.

Agreed. They certainly have their biases, but they are at least correct about the facts they state almost all the time, and when they have factual inaccuracies, they seem to be rare, honest mistakes. Better than a lot of sources of information related to politics, that are full of intentionally incorrect facts.
Isn't the benefit of the car loan that you can have emergency funds? I mean, if you save up $5k and get a car loan for $25k you for years you effectively have a 2 year emergency buffer.

If you pay off the car up front you may run into liquidity issues until you have restored your emergency fund.
> I used to have students who bragged to me about how fast they wrote their papers. I would tell them that the great German novelist Thomas Mann said that a writer is someone for whom writing is more difficult than it is for other people. The best writers write much more slowly than everyone else, and the better they are, the slower they write.

Dear Son,

I am writing this slow, 'cause I know you can't read fast.
There are a few things happening here at home. We don't live where we did
when you left -- you're father read in the paper that most car accidents happen
within twenty miles of home, so we moved. I won't be able to send you the
address because we moved into your cousins old house and they took the numbers
with them so they wouldn't have to change their address.
The new place has a washing machine! It's in a small room that also has a
shower in it. The first day, I put four shirts in. I pressed the lever and I
haven't seen them since.
The weather is nice here. It rained twice this week. Three days the first
time and four days the second time.
Remember that coat you wanted me to send you? Well, your aunt said that it
would be too heavy to send in the mail, so we cut the buttons off and put them
in the pocket.
Monday we got a bill from the funeral home. It said if we don't make the
last payment on Grandma's funeral ... up she comes ...
Your father has a lovely new job. He has over 500 men under him. He's
cutting grass at the cemetery.
Your brother's wife had a baby this morning. We don't know whether it's a
boy or a girl, so we don't know if you are an aunt or an uncle.
Your uncle fell in the whiskey vat and drowned. We cremated him. He burned
for 3 days.
Last week 3 of your friends went off the bridge in a pickup truck. One was
driving and the other two were riding in the back. The driver rolled down the
window and swam to safety. The other two drowned. They couldn't get the
tailgate down.
Not much else. Write more often.
Love,
Mom

P.S. -- We would have sent money, but the envelope was already sealed.
I'd say inheritance is NOT a good use-case for Person / Employee

A person can play many roles, at the same time. Composition is better in this case. A person has many roles

Inheritance is better for types of legal parties though (see The Party Model). A person is a legal party. An company is an organisation is a legal party
Back in 1983, I used a 6502 "Machine Language Monitor" cartridge to program my VIC-20.

I had 3 whole K of RAM (some of which was used by the system), so writing pretty much anything required machine code.
I watched the train go overhead with my wife, son and neighbor on Friday night. While I’ve seen them before, it was exciting to share my 11 year old son’s awe.

I know there’s concern about these LEO sats, but we still enjoyed counting the train as it streamed almost directly overhead from West to East.
> Take for example “Openness”. It’s not hard to imagine how the very same person can be very open with one group of people

Lest this be misunderstood, note that "Openness" in this context is not about being honest. It is short for "Openness to Experience". Roughly, it's about creativity and curiosity.

Not sure why that would be the case. A lot of Brits understand that while Britain survived WW2 it was the US that came out strong and helped to end WW2 compared to any other nation on earth (except Soviet Union) with not only technology dominance but also economic and in many ways cultural.

This also has a personal bias as I want the US to be remembered and not the UK who I think has done so much damage around the world pre WW2 in the name of colonialism including my home country.
The public roadways have never been especially free, not as in beer nor as in speech. It's a pretty unfortunate choice of setting for expressing individualism. Many have put some of their identity into how or what they drive anyway, of course.
Customs has a complicated relationship with postal vs. courier imports.

Customs hates postal imports/exports because they have to deal with low values, low-reimbursement and end-users that may not be, ahem, diplomatic when either side makes an error/fails to comprehend an incomprehensible set of regulations. And the usual treatment of individual end-users with ambiguous resentment like this case.

If everyone switched all imports/exports to Fedex/UPS/etc and customs only had to deal with brokers, they'd both be much much happier. Customs can just sit in an office receiving digitized info from the couriers and decide what they want to inspect/review instead of sifting by hand.

Mostly, customs just ignores the postal stream and lets things slide through without 100% correct paperwork, but I'm sure Fedex/UPS regularly lobbies against this laissez-faire approach.
It's funny, when I studied abroad in Russia people of all ages asked me this question incessantly and indignantly. It was almost like an article of faith for many people I met there that America has always denied the USSR's role in beating the Nazis. Never quite understood why so many Russians think this, but my guess is that it comes from watching state TV.

Not just 10Gbps (such as the Intel card which is four 10Gbps SFP ports in one slot), but single and dual 100GbE per slot like this:

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/docs/networ...

In calculating the bandwidth and pci-e bus throughput needed, a single 100GbE port is full duplex, so one has to budget about 210Gbps per port.

The funny thing is that some of the best 100GbE NICs for x86-64 servers on the market right now are Intel, but are best used on an AMD platform...
I remember when those broad search powers and gag warrants were fist introduced, we were told it's going to be used against terrorists, and there's no other way - national security requires it.

That's a postdoc rationalization based on your western perspectives

There are more than a few cultures which disprove your general angle, on South East Asia there are still a couple cannibal groups, which base their cannibalism on eating perceived witches and did it on a semiritualistic fashion to ensure that the witches spirits could not come back and haunt them/put a spell on them

There are many, many, many references of through the discovery of SEA islets of colonizers finding Cannibal tribes and groups whom would instead eat them to (is through) acquiring "their power" which is a strong motif that's replicated on West and Central African animistic groups and tribes

Do remember reading of more than a couple times several years ago of reading East European cannibal tribes through the 700s, and this was beyond the post Roman vilification of "barbarians"

Anyhow my core is that, this is quite, quite common throughout human history, same with human sacrifice

Apologies for lack of references I am on my phone, I'll add them later
Lend lease was a serious part of it but 10-15% of the USSR's output is no match for 90-85% of the Soviet output plus 20 million lives.

The US still did however a lot to help.
You won't find small car footprint trucks anymore because of CAFE standards. The small size pickup is infeasible to get to happen while still getting "truck" performamce characteristics at that size. At least as far as I understand, that and safety requirements are the main driver of truck size increases over time.
That is a problem of interpretation by amateurs more than a problem with the test itself. Myers-Briggs gives you PERCENTAGES of every trait, then it uses 4 letter labels to make things simpler for people, but you are supposed to understand that a person that scored 49% introvert in the introvert-extrovert spectrum is going to be far similar to a person that scored extrovert with 51% than to a person that scored introvert 10% because its a spectrum not an absolute value.

That is the reason that modern tests like Big Five did away with the labels, because people were incapable to reason beyond them and kept making dumb assumptions like "He scored introvert so he must hate parties or I scored introvert the first time but extrovert the second (a potential 1% difference between the labels without the percentages associated to them) so the test is crap".
> Maybe the real lesson of the whole thread is to require customers to pay in advance with a non-reversible wire transfer

Not so easy. This is particularly true as you start to get into higher dollar amounts. Also, it tends to be far more common with international orders than with domestic business. I can say that nearly 100% of our international business was prepaid. Sadly, during the 2008 downturn, all business came to a halt. There were very we places where you could find income that could sustain the prior state of business.

In the case of the the five million dollar contract I mentioned, we did get a $500K deposit with the order. Well, the $500K was spent on components pretty much as soon as it hit the bank, within a week. It's very hard to escape something like what happened in 2008 if all your cash in in a warehouse filled with parts and product you just can't sell.
And a number of states are getting much more concerned with collecting any taxes they're owed. Someone was even telling me that their business travel will be audited on an ongoing basis to ensure someone isn't working sufficient days in a different state to require a separate tax filing.

In practice, I could almost certainly work from laptop in an adjacent state (on my own dime) for a bit and no one would care but actively misleading about your address of record is not advised.

> The US cultural hegemony is real

Looking back at my childhood growing up in a small NATO country (The Netherlands), it really strikes me. I found a box of my childhood drawings at my parents place. I’d drawn soldiers and fighter jets etcetera and they mostly had US flags. Some kind of militaristic nationalism is common in many places I guess but apparently I had grown up emotionally attached to the US military.

> Through public education, and general coverage in medias/fil/documentaries.

On children’s television, every year I’d see interviews with the American and Canadian soldiers that liberated the Netherlands. Which of course is important but… I watched an item on Auschwitz were they managed to talk about the history and liberation of the camp for twenty minutes without ever mentioning the country that the liberating soldiers came from.
Assuming you can. Some deals are set up so that you have to pay most of the interest even if you pay the loan off early, or other prepayment penalties.
And not need a 32-bit bus, so it saves on board cost, too.

Mudding doesn’t mean drinking and driving with guns. It means tearing up the wet muddy ground with your vehicle. Spinning your tires, getting stuck, getting unstuck - just goofing off off-road. I personally don’t see the appeal of it but have friends that enjoy it. They don’t drink and drive (with or without guns).
As much as I understand astronomers' apprehension of satellite internet constellations but the first Starlink 'train' we saw from the top of a hill was absolutely captivating. I cannot begin to describe the beauty of a line of sparkling dots, moving unerringly but silently over the sky.
not sure why you are downvoted. you basically said nothing wrong the article is plain fud.

as if germanies' co2 emission alone did make our world wide temperature rise so bad.
the study/article also dismisses so much things. like that we have basically no end storage, that nuclear was already dead in germany and that the plants all were mostly over their end of lifetime anyway (but the governement raised it over and over), such a stupid study/article.
It's still way better than the old times when lexica were a thing and you needed a printing press to convey knowledge.
My analogy to humorism was not to imply that there’s no empirical evidence at all here. Just that the field of psychology has continually struggled to actually develop testable hypotheses that lead to scientific theories.

There’s a giant chasm between “I have a signal” and “here’s what that signal means”. You can’t start out with a data set, pick out some signals and then say what they mean. That’s scientific theory 101. You build a hypothetical model and then design experiments to test those theories. It’s not me doing the field a disservice. The practitioners have consistently and repeatedly done bad science and statistics. I’ll be more supportive once the field actually starts producing falsifiable theories that are supported by evidence and the practitioners are better at calling out their peers.
Just because some specific act tips the scales doesn't make it the sole reason for win. One soldier tipping the battle isn't the (only, or main) winner.

That's not about US involvement, just your specific argument. Coming form Eastern Europe, we were liberated by Soviet army, Americans never touched our soil. But it was a brutal liberation, and what came afterwards was even worse.

Russians bled the most, killed the most. They wouldn't probably win if left on their own though for reasons stated by others. And that's purely Europe. Add Pacific and rest of the world and the role of US is undeniable. How difficult is it to accept that there is no single state who can claim the throne, only a joint force.

More interesting question for me is, if Japanese wouldn't do Pearl Harbor, how long it would take US to engage with Nazi Germany. Maybe far too long, US wasn't very keen to start open war. Maybe a critical window would be missed and invasion could be a failure.
Turns out that the big 5 have predictive power. Hard to call it "tea leaves" if it has broad correlates with human behavior that are replicable across cultures and predict forward-looking behavior.
In the sense that communism stopped spreading to new countries, perhaps it was a win of sorts.
IMHO, OCaml's decision to not encode strings in a Unicode encoding by default is the correct one. OCaml treats strings as just bytestrings, leaving the programmer to take care of the specific encoding, with the help of sophisticated and powerful libraries like Camomile.

For an example of what happens when language implementations try to shoehorn in Unicode into their strings, look at JavaScript's UTF-16 strings or this Python example: https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/asi2qo/go_is_a...
> I found google doesn't lead me to wikipedia as often anymore.

Ive also noticed this. Wikipedia used to always be in the first few results for any Google search I made. It was amazing becauase it was frequently the exact thing I was trying to find.

Now I have to add 'wiki' to the search terms or it wont even show up in the first page.

If so, I have 0% trust in your judgement.
