Maybe is was just "impossible". Hard real time systems are not supposed to lose frames, sometimes provably so.

You have to make some assumptions. For example, that pure functions will always return the same result with the same arguments. In fact, in real life, it is not always true, especially in space where a cosmic ray can flip a bit. You may try do be defensive to account for an unreliable hardware, but you have to draw the line at some point.

Yes, is should have been tested, but it doesn't surprise me that it wasn't even for a company with as good a track record as JPL.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it appears that all the data about these "UFO"'s:

1. is conspicuously low quality, grainy
2. presents inconsistent imagery of the phenomenon
3. originates from sensor equipment most laymen are unfamiliar with and thus unable to know if they've been spoofed
4. presented in the context of clickbaity commentary

"When you are accustomed to privilege, equality can feel like oppression." Stephanie Herrera
To be pedantic, a reduction in poverty is not the same as a reduction in inequality. Your example of India and China seems to be pointing to the former.

Also, from a US-centric point of view, it seems to me that economic inequality has gotten worse since the 70s, or at least the 80s. See for example:
https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2020/01/09/trends-...
or
https://academic.oup.com/cje/article-abstract/37/4/921/17127....

I'm not sure what the parent commenter meant, but when I think "precarious economy", I'm thinking about things like wage stagnation and rising costs of healthcare, housing, and debt, rather than the fact that people now have iPhones (which for many are only affordable if paid for in monthly installments over years).
Incredible, thank you for sharing this. I live within walking distance of this museum and have a small collection of various early radio and television pieces, yet I had never heard of this place before.
Most commercial value lies in processing small/medium data.
Its interesting that earnings and inequality worsen around 1965/1970, which is also the year that immigration into the USA began a rapid increase:

https://www.migrationpolicy.org/programs/data-hub/charts/imm...

At the same time as the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 which essentially opened up immigration to anyone in the world instead of just people from North Western Europe.

It also means women have more independence and freedom.
“Wuhan lab leak” is a far more realistic & plausible story than “animal market is actual source that sits next to a gain of function lab doing unknown research on corona virus”

Many academics have been a proponent of the leak theory, whats shocking is not the press picking it up now, rather how quickly it was discarded before.
Ah I see, yeah, to be honest I don't get why we aren't simply doing that already. Adaptive cruise control we already have, draw one more line in the center of highway lanes, and have some warning system for 'accident up ahead, drive manually', and we could drive autonomously for any large distance without magic and without needing to have constant attention to take control when needed. This could easily have been implemented decades ago, but we didn't/don't and now we're still not at that level. So yeah, agree with the person I was replying to about the preference of non-magic there.
Probably nothing at all, the mRNA vaccine will just prompt the body to make even more antibodies against the variants from the vaccine.

I expect having stronger flu-like side-effects on the first injection instead of the usual second mRNA injection. For this reason, if you had diagnosed COVID, in France you'll be injected a single dose of mRNA vaccine and be considered immune.
People are good at remembering faces, but this is for people who don’t want to use their face. I don’t think the goal is to be memorable, just an easy way to be mostly unique.
This is true for robberies and burglaries too.
The same argument could be made for banning Tor. I disagree, though, as these technologies can be and are used for good/normal things. Not everyone is running guns, evading taxes or selling drugs. In fact, most people aren't.

Not russian PMC staging, but state using PMC presence as a proof of a coup attempt. They used it to spin the narrative that protests were planned and funded from abroad.
This is why "first name" should be "given name" and "last name" should be "surname". There are many assumptions programmers make about names, but this one is particularly annoying for CJK and other cultures.

I've had the opposite issue in Korea. Several systems expected LastFirst (from my perspective).
I still disagree. I spent a lot of time in nursing homes when I was a teenager and am quite confident that adding five years of elderly life would not only not be noticed by many people who are just whiling away their later years, a lot of them wouldn’t even want it. You’re assuming that a magic pill adding five years of longevity would either distribute those years equally or primarily extend youthful years, but it’s not at all clear that that’s the case.

Why would you use the median - plot a boxplot in here and get some good data visualizations. Median barely tells the story.

Poor data visualization is such a pet peeve...especially for a university.
I tried this out today and a few things went wrong for me.

First, the link that I was given to send to the other party was a tinyurl.com link. This concerns me because I don't think that Stripe or PayNowLink has control of tinyurl.com. If tinyurl.com is exploited then someone can reroute people to a totally different site.

Second, Privacy.com debit cards didn't work for me. I've reached out to support to see if that's something they can fix. Is that a known issue?
Be that as it may, it hasn't stopped certification from being pursued.
Helium: A byproduct of the natural gas industry

https://geology.com/articles/helium/

Very little helium is present in Earth's atmosphere. It is such a light element that Earth's gravity cannot hold it. When present at Earth's surface, unconfined helium immediately begins rising until it escapes the planet. That's why party balloons rise!

The helium that is produced commercially is obtained from the ground. Some natural gas fields have enough helium mingled with the gas that it can be extracted at an economical cost. A few fields in the United States contain over 7% helium by volume. Companies that drill for natural gas in these areas produce the natural gas, process it and remove the helium as a byproduct.

Most of the helium that is removed from natural gas is thought to form from radioactive decay of uranium and thorium in granitoid rocks of Earth's continental crust. As a very light gas, it is buoyant and seeks to move upward as soon as it forms.
It scares the hell out of me thinking about this type of hacky trash anywhere near crypto or sandbox code. I like to think that they have more experienced people working on that, but I'm not quite naive enough to really believe it.
Ugh, a form that takes 15 minutes or more to fill out, without any feedback or other interaction, is itself a UX problem. It should at least be auto-saving.

> The study provides evidence that immunity triggered by SARS-CoV-2 infection will be extraordinarily long-lasting.

Does it? I think this pop-science article overly simplifies antibodies and immunity...

I'm no doctor myself, but as was explained to me by my doctor friends (who however are not specialists in this subtopic either), there's many different layers to the immune system. It's entirely possible to have antibodies and/or antibody-producing capacity in your body, yet not be "immune" - if by "immune" we mean that you cannot get the illness, both in the sense that you don't get ill, and in the sense that you don't become asymptomatic carrier (i.e. the virus starts replicating in your body, but not enough to make you feel "ill" effects) (both of which are kind-of important if you want to stop a pandemic). Long-term immune system "memory cells" (B-cells) might still need time to be activate and start producing antibodies, so you can get infected, ill & a spreader, but not seriously ill because your immune system re-awakens and starts producing antibodies and you recover much quicker than you otherwise would. (This whole mechanism is the reason why you need booster shots of some vaccines.)

This is, of course, based mainly on experience from non-coronavirus like viruses. This one might be different.
I like to imagine those are USOs like in Terror from the Deep: https://www.ufopaedia.org/index.php/Alien_Submarines :)
While I agree that microservices don't make sense for every use case and definitely not for small companies/platforms, I've done the monolith thing over and over again and for me, microservices truly are a superior platform model.

Yep, they introduce some new problems and by definition, more moving parts but if you're doing anything halfway complicated or "at scale", this is the only sane way to do it.

Docker was hyped a lot but it's a net win for me and for a good chunk of the industry. SPAs with pure API backends are better too. For me and what I do. I love using software defined infrastructure. I love when things are easy and reliable.

I love microservices.

But I also understand why many people don't and why they're a bad fit for some use cases. In some ways, they're kind of like NoSQL databases. If you're just doing microservices because they sound cool and modern, you're like all the folks who use MongoDB and complain that it doesn't work like Postgres. And then talk endless crap about MongoDB.

You're the problem. Not Mongo. Not Postgres. Not monoliths. Not microservices.

You may have missed the point being made. You find a good security professional the same way you find a good lawyer or doctor. Ask around for a reference for a good one. Then check their credentials (e.g., what certifications they have).

I believe there was an article on HN recently about a startup that used a "lawyer" that wasn't because they didn't check their credentials after getting a great reference. Just because there are consequences doesn't mean it doesn't happen.
100% agree that faces are easier to remember. But some people might have privacy and/or bias concerns about posting their real photo.
Safari is noticeably faster and drains significantly less battery life. Those are big reasons. There’s also a lot of nice integration between desktop and mobile Safari if you use both a Mac and an iPhone.
>The code will have done a lot of analysis, but in the end, the DNA (fragments) it reports were either there or not.

OK, so how do we verify if they're there?

For your example of sorting, we have the ordered output, can read the values of each item in the output, and have a definition of sorted.

What confirms the presence of DNA external to the methodology they don't want to allow external analysis of?

I don't doubt there could be a way. But you've just asserted it can when the how is actually the material question to the case.
Except that they’re not earning twice as much. This also fails to consider the uncounted domestic labor that previously was completed by a stay at home spouse, but still needs to be completed/paid for.
>with not many advantageous mutation pathways

I was under the impression that any mutations to the spike proteins would make the current vaccines useless and would require changes to the vaccines just like the flu shot . Isn't this the case ?
Hey, that's not true. People use it... in the telecom industry and everyone using WebRTC's DataChannel (SCTP over DTLS actually).

The protocol is probably mostly fine, but there are no quality library for using it in a general purpose way. Because of that, no one can really use the protocol to its full designed capabilities anyway (and the ossified network nodes don't help either).
That is about to change, thanks to GAN.

Ultra-cheap drones are small. Small means very short range, so the launch platform for the drones becomes the target (kill the archer, not the arrows). This is no different than when we were concerned with Backfire regiments attacking the CSG with Kingfish etc.
I think you might be referring to those social media posts that suggest that the mRNA vaccines undo the immunity afforded by an infection. Those stories are false, here's more information:

Peak concentration.
CIWS have a limited amount of rounds, and and are designed to stop a few large projectiles (think a cruise missile) sent sequentially. I'm not sure how they'd handle many drones, especially ones that could change course.

Throwing "wave after wave" of anything eventually overwhelms a defender.
sure, but there aren't finite drones. not sure you've ever seen CIWS in action, but it would put down the drones with dispatch.
How do you think antitrust laws were created in the first place?

I’m personally sceptical of putting too much faith in this, we’ve already seen a number of variants. Over my lifetime? Who knows what mutations we’ll see.
My humble experience with Wordpress is very good.

I used it for my blog and decided to not write a single line of code, because I would use my time to write articles: https://gioorgi.com

I started using it on 2004 about 17 years ago.
I migrated about 4-5 times my VM provider, doing backup and never lost a bit.

After moving to a fast provider, my machine works fine, and I find out JetPack is quite a CPU eater; now I prefer a more huge set of plugins and avoid JetPack.

I used it sometime for building customer's Web Site, and, yes, Drupal was better for general purpose CMS at least on 2009.

But Ghost did not buy me and I think WordPress is still a good tool.
Another Mega Group Spy Scandal? SolarWinds Hack
They were attacked, but about two years ago it was an attack along the lines of 'Pfft, how can random mathematical equation busy work determine value?', which was a lot more reasonable. Current articles go for the emotional stuff.
Starting families was never limited by women not working. If anything, women not working (outside the home) makes it easiest to start families, since adult supervision’s time is the most expensive part of raising young children, and if one adult in a family is not working then they have no opportunity cost for raising the kids.
I wonder what terminology was used to talk about planning the work of human computers, for large-scale calculations that required lots of people (such as drawing up tables of logarithms etc.): was that a program too?
They date back until at least 1930's with the prohibition :)
It probably doesn't make a lot of sense for a greenfield project, but for established projects it might make sense to stay with the current technology stack. At my last job we had a team of 10+ domain experts that were expert level at a proprietary language. Replacing years of work to save $10k per developer every year would have been a bad decision.
"Fire and forget" drones exist.
Some industrial scale miners might have commitments to buy electricity at a certain rate. It could be more expensive to break a contract than to keep their equipment running when the exchange rate temporarily falls below profitability.

Also not everyone has easy access to an exchange. Others may prefer to avoid the KYC paperwork, or simply be willing to pay a premium for freshly mined coins.
The video in that debunk is obviously a plane and also has literally zero to do with the more interesting disclosures from the military.
Not sure why you're getting downvoted, I thought the same thing.
> If you have cash

This is key. You can't "just buy BTC directly" if you don't have cash. Even if you have cash for the initial purchase of crypto, you then have no recurring income. The startup model is again relevant here as you're trading a short term loss, for the potential of a long term gain. Similarly, why don't VC's just invest in profitable, stable companies?
These are also the first images which aliens will receive from us in the future.
But you also never had to use JSX and the old docs showed without.
Sadly probably true. The DMCA does specifically state that the filing party is responsible for the accused's legal fees if you can demonstrate that they "materially misrepresented that material or activity is infringing". Still, you're rolling the dice with almost no upside and a probably quite expensive potential liability if you lose.

You could maybe also file a countersuit alleging defamation. False allegations of a crime are "pro se" in most jurisdiction, so you don't have to show malice. Negligence is not a defense against defamation, so they can't simply claim that they screwed up. The more important factor is that defamation suits allow punitive damages (which don't seem to be written into DMCA suits; there's no actual financial punishment other than paying lawyer fees). Plus defamation can be a civil suit, with a lower burden of proof than a criminal charge like perjury.

Two problems with drones, their range isn't enough and they would need to navigate visually towards the boat because all radio including GPS would be jammed if you tried this.

For the range, I think the typical outer perimeter of a carrier group is 100 to 200 nautical miles as patrolled by the air wing. Then at 20 nautical miles you would run into ships, and that's still too far away to launch a big swarm of ultra cheap drones because they wouldn't make it to the carrier.
Indeed.

Time & attention are limited resources. By eliminating the dominant class of bugs you have more time and attention for more subtle bugs.
You can still do this. I wrote a chess game that checks arg 0 for "cgi" (otherwise it uses a VT interface) and renders a new board in the browser every time the other player makes a move. It works with absolutely no javascript.
Great summary! It shows how big a task it is for one project to take on. I don't think it hurts for more people to try, though.
Until it runs out of ammo. But the laser type weapons they've been trying to develop solve this to some extent.
That's my experience with Germans. They are as subtle as a chainsaw. I love it. They give me low latency instant feedback of the situation which allows me to act upon.

It's an eye opening experience.
Yocto Development Environment
It's decentralized to a degree. Running an IRC server isn't much more complex than running a HTTP server so just about anyone can do that. Of course when a server (or in this case a whole network of servers) gets hijacked all the people using that server need to find a new server, or decide to be okay with the new government.
Very likely foreign or domestic drones. They’re UFOs in the technical sense, but I think using a different word here to be less sensational is likely warranted. The path of movement and speed looks exactly like drones to me.
The most interesting aspects to some but not all of these reports are the dynamics which imply novel propulsion tech (in terms of energy expenditure or non-thrusting mechanisms) and are confirmed on radar. The other stuff is noise (and as seen elsewhere in this thread effectively serves as chum for people who presume themselves smart skeptics.)
I agree, if you live in an apartment and don't have much stuff. I can't imagine people moving stuff from an American style 4BR house when they have kids, all on their own.
What happened in Manaus/Brazil(high re-infection rate even after the city reached herd immunity) shows that's not that simple and they clearly state it "though viral variants could dampen some of the protection they offer"

It doesn't matter if SCTP has good features if no one is willing to implement quality libraries for it. The protocol exists for a while and only one general purpose library exists for it that's widely used. And it's not without a lot of flaws and limitations.

There are good reasons no one wants to invest in it, and I'm sure they did consider it.

Helium Act of 1925, 50 USC § 161, is a United States statute drafted for the purpose of conservation, exploration, and procurement of helium gas. The Act of Congress authorized the condemnation, lease, or purchase of acquired lands bearing the potential of producing helium gas. It banned the export of helium, for which the US was the only important source, thus forcing foreign airships to use hydrogen lift gas.

Imagine the counterfactual where the Helium Act of 1925 was not passed and the Hindenburg was using helium instead of highly flammable hydrogen.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helium_Act_of_1925

Hindenburg designer Hugo Eckener sought to use helium, a non-flammable lifting gas. However, the United States, which had a monopoly on the world supply of helium and feared that other countries might use the gas for military purposes, banned its export, and the Hindenburg was reengineered. After the Hindenburg disaster, American public opinion favored the export of helium to Germany for its next great zeppelin, the LZ 130, and the law was amended to allow helium export for nonmilitary use. After the German annexation of Austria in 1938, however, Secretary of Interior Harold Ickes refused to ink the final contract.
