Imo, this "empty space" is a really misleading concept. It's rather a sea of magnetic field that protons and electrons use to form a quasi stable structure.

Btw, the proportion between human body and proton is about the same as between milky way and a star. We're galaxy sized objects, in a sense.

The problem with the Docker default is that they did have a firewall configured but Docker will reconfigure it.

That said, some external firewall would prevent this. My VPS provider allows me to configure which ports I want to expose to the outside world which would mitigate this kind of issue.
So the last record broken in BC was from 1937. Was that heatwave caused by global warming too?

That's an interesting point of view. You do see once top youtubers not keep the same viewship after years of pounding out content. What made you special might not be true or matter anymore. What happens to these people? I guess they move on.

One thing I notice people doing is creating like crazy to reach 1,000 subscribers then continuing until the first pay comes in and then they never return.

To make 100 a month you need about 100,000 views because you only get paid if someone sees the ad and doesn't skip.
The biggest issue with docker is the false sense of security it seems to give a lot of engineers into thinking they know infra when they really don't. I stay away from this because I don't understand it fundamentally, and now this proves it's better to not think these new technologies are your friend unless you actually know what you're doing (which apparently most don't).

I will admit, I am no patent expert. To my knowledge, you can patent the process, the molecule, the use of the molecule. I don't know exactly why they are all anonymous on 4 thieves vinegar, I assume it was because of patent stuff. It might be for other reasons. I would believe that showing instruction to produce a patented molecule would be an issue. (maybe not, I don't know)

To everyone questioning climate change’s existence in this thread, I have one question.

What was the last year in recorded history that was colder than average?
Duolingo has a special place in my heart because it helped me bootstrap French from almost literally zero knowledge. I remember my first night learning on Duo, having gone through a few lessons and also starting to read « Harry Potter à l'école de Sorciers » painstakingly slowly. In about a year of very much part-time effort, I was able to start going to a local French Meetup which rocketed my comprehension.

Now that I'm about ~B2 and able to get by when I go to la Francophonie, I occasionally toy with the idea of picking up another language. But I don't really consider using Duolingo as a great way to start. It seems it's had to reckon with how to turn a profit in lieu of their race-to-the-bottom of crowdsourced translations, which seems to have inevitably turned to ads.

When my kids were using it for mostly entertainment purposes, it seemed that whatever efficacy it had may have plummeted. Maybe I'm wrong - I really did like it and I love the idea of it. It just doesn't seem to have fulfilled its promise.
I think anyone who cares about others and has seen what truly addictive substances like oxy and heroin do to people thinks the same. They literally lose their mind. There's no "bootstrappin'" when it comes to that, it becomes an intervention or nothing. Sure a few folks come back from that abyss, but not many without the help of others. Those type of substances clearly need to be only allowed when nothing else is a solution and heavily controlled by the government.
Versus the time I have to spend scanning and bagging my own goods, waiting for the attendant to come over and punch in some magic code every time the machine whacks out over the weight, getting a manager to come over and provide an override for coupons, or to purchase alcohol or tobacco? Yeah no, self-checkout lines are a special kind of hell.

Maybe the average HN'er doesn't do any serious grocery shopping, say to feed a large family, but there's no way I am taking a cart full of groceries to a self checkout line, I'd rather wait. Sure, for buying 10 items or less, they are OK.

I prefer cashiers who are paid well to do their jobs, rather than subsidizing companies that refuse to pay living wages and just threw in the towel. Try checking out an ALDIs sometime to see how truly blissful being rung up at their checkout lines are.

Yeah I saw that. It is a bummer, I want to take a look at it now.
I will try to ask around to see what is happening there.
I had episodes like this when I was younger. And had them flare up when I was taking Buspirone for anxiety as an adult. They'd last about 10-20 minutes and I always described them as "pure chaos of the internal geometric space."

Never did find any kind of label for the symptoms. I kept a journal of the episodes for a while. They seemed to come up monthly when I was around 16.

At the very least it's validating to encounter others who had had similar experiences.
What? The headline literally says “this heatwave is caused by global warming”.

That’s the claim that spurious and unproven.

And yes, it’s not different than having a cold snap and saying “this cold snap is making people question if global warming is happening”.

Both are just cherry picked anecdotes.
This was a brutal 3 days, but at least it wasn't humid like Florida. Hydration and shade made it possible to be outside, even if extremely unpleasant.

If it's a handful of days a year, you can make do if you're in good health, anyway. One room with a window or minisplit a/c and everyone in that room will be much more comfortable than none and can be affordable if you shop at the right time.

Designing to get the right airflow, rejecting direct solar heat, and what not can help a ton with regular summer heat in the PNW. Or at least, not being totally stupid about it and making greenhouses instead of green houses. Tree shadows help a ton too, although with warmer weather, there's fire risk, and you need to select trees carefully to avoid fall risk (just say no to cottonwoods near your house, cause they like to fall and drop limbs)

What? Fentanyl is so so so much cheaper and 100% does get added to heroin all the time. It also gets added, to a lesser extent, to meth, coke, fake xanax pills, ketamine, etc. Especially in many places in the US, it's actually hard to find heroin without at least a trace of fentanyl.

Fentanyl is synthesized in China or Mexico (with precursors from China) extremely cheaply and without the need to maintain large plantations. It can then be imported to the US much more easily than heroin (extremely potent by weight and doesn't smell as much) where it's then diluted/mixed with other drugs. This is easily provable, there's tons and tons and tons of evidence/documentation of all of this.

I don't understand the original posters point either though, because providing addicts with clean drugs and access to treatment is the only real way to curb the current fentanyl epidemic.
Well no. "AI" is as much artificial as a variable assignment of x=5 is. It's a construct.

AI isn't a "technology" today. It's literally just linear algebra.
I think you are looking for a book which covers details of all the "Hardware Appliances/Software Components" which live in a network serving "Web based Applications". I don't know of any one book which will cover everything but you might find the following useful.

* Web Protocols and Practice: HTTP/1.1, Networking Protocols, Caching, and Traffic Measurement by Krishnamurthy and Rexford - Best book i have seen yet which explains the interplay between HTTP and the underlying TCP/IP protocol suite.

* Load Balancing Servers, Firewalls, and Caches by Kopparapu.

> I ignored what the officially named format was

You ignored the officially named format and instead settled on the officially named format. Those are ISO8601 timestamps, specified in UTC time. (The Z at the end means there's (Z)ero timezone offset from UTC). If you're going to talk about a standard, its worth knowing its name.
In the "everything's rosy" universe where things go the right way, they would have had an engineer come out and start looking and then say "everyone get out."

Unfortunately, this isn't the "everything's rosy" universe.

That money... its about $120k/unit in the condo.

You can get a condo on Miami Beach for $225k. Some digging on Zillow suggests that a condo built within the last 20 years will get you into the $450k range without difficulty and very easy to go beyond that.

There are other things coming to light too... like they added a penthouse ( https://www.wsj.com/articles/miami-area-condo-that-collapsed... )

> The tower’s rooftop apartments would have added significant weight but they were accounted for in the revised design, said Roberto Leon, a professor of construction engineering at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, who reviewed the building plans.

> The structural plans show that the size of the columns and reinforcements would have been typical for that time, and the roof would have had limited ability to redistribute the building’s load if one of the columns were to fail, he said.

> That could mean a failure in one column could bring down an entire structure, which could have been what occurred with this building, Mr. Leon said.
Yes, but the US also generally takes pretty swift action to make regulatory changes when disasters happen. Florida (and Miami-Dade County in particular) is known for their strict building code now, and I'm sure we'll see some additional changes as a result of this.
It could cost that much but it clearly won’t because Medicare doesn’t have the budget for it.

Okay, then they need to SAY THAT. All of them need to be CLEAR about what their business model is and how it works, and do not give any mess about "free markets" or "trade secrets" here, they have captured too much attention to be treated with kid gloves.
Owning fiat does not give you free money. Giving it to a bank which will pay you interest on the account (or various investments) is what gives you more.

>using a pile foundation

of course you need piles deep enough, and boreholes soil test results probably factor into the decision of how deep it should be. The $100M fix for the tilting and sinking 58-story SF tower built in 2009 with "floating" piles not reaching the bedrock :

https://www.sfgate.com/news/editorspicks/article/SF-s-sinkin...

"The solution, likened to putting a bumper jack next to a flat tire, will involve the installation of 52 piles along the north and west sides of the tower. The piles will be beneath the sidewalk, 250 feet into the bedrock of downtown San Francisco, and be tied with the original 60-90-feet-deep foundation piles."
That's fine but that's not what the majority of us believe (that hard/extremely addictive and life destroying drugs should be banned) and you will just have to deal with that or find a libertarian paradise in some far off country. Pot isn't one of those drugs though, it's pretty harmless or at least no more destructive than alcohol.

Actually not that crazy an idea and the aspect that decriminalization makes interaction with criminals necessary, should be enough to skip this idea.

So legalization seems to be the way forward, i do wonder what organized crime will do in response.

I'm not going to debate. I'm for decriminalization.

That said, nalozone should be stocked in every pharmacy across America.

Just like needles. Needles can be bought in CA.

Hell--I would put it in emergency glass boxes all around SF, and most cities.

(To anyone addicted, bupernorpine works pretty well. Most of you could get down to a very low dose of bupenorpine pretty quick. It really helped me. I was never a bad addict. I just started taking pain pill from a nurse friend. Well, kind of a friend. She meant well. I could have just told her no, but didn't.)

In the nineties, a friend of mine called me up, and asked me what do you do with someone who is overdosed.

I told him there was naxolone, but it's only available at the hospital.

He called back while in transit. She died at the hospital.

He was living next to CVS pharmacy. If it was available, she would still be here. She wasen't even a long term addict. It was her second time using.
I'm all for it, but is very annoying having kids and.going to the park and some pot head is smoking because he is free to do so

Compared to meth, crack, oxy, etc they are relatively safe so no we don't need to ban them.

> The most you would get would be 80-85 once a year.

When I moved to Seattle nine years ago, I was happy that we had only one week that would hit 80+. Annoying to have those hot days without AC, but whatever - it was much better than the Midwest. We'd do just fine for those few days.

But it's been warming up. And while I wouldn't use this one week alone as evidence of a trend, the fact that it was >110°F today is wholly in-line (IMHO) of what we've been seeing. I read the other day that this is "a once in a millennium" event. How long until we have another such event? I'm guessing it'll be before my teenagers graduate from high school.
I suspect that many Duolingo users are not choosing between Duolingo and a formal language course. I suspect they're choosing between Duolingo and some other smartphone activity.

I enjoyed my formal language education but four years of high school Spanish was about as useless as any other high school class. The ~10m a day I spend on Duolingo is as much of a "waste" of time in terms of language aquisition, but it's almost as enjoyable as my language classes were, feels slightly less wasteful than whatever other smartphone game I'd be playing, and lets me maintain the fantasy that one day I'll actually get around to (committing the time necessary to) learn a foreign language.
You’re confusing the Internet with services that use the Internet to do business. The former is just a delivery mechanism for the latter, which is what’s being regulated.

Plenty of countries require you to register for sales tax once you establish a presence in their country, whether you sell goods or services. No business operating in this environment thinks it’s unreasonable to do so. Once again “their house, their rules.”
There are large swathes of Mexico that are under cartel control, thousands of square miles, so I don't think we can really don't think this case makes much difference.

Yeah, I noticed a lot of attention in the media is on the pool support corrosion, but it apparently did not collapse, though it seems to have emptied out. With the other anecdotal notes about the subfloor pumps wearing out and water pooling in the subfloor garage closer to the building, it seems more likely there was a longstanding leak that lead to a sinkhole forming or perhaps rebar corrosion. I recall from my civil engineering course that concrete has a high compression yield point but a poor tensile one, hence the need for rebar. Take away part of the foundation or wear away the structure in such a way that the weakened rebar is forced to take the load, and suddenly you have a catastrophic failure like the one that occurred.
There are plenty of ways to prove that, including stating a public key during the interview, interviewer signs it with their key, vice versa is done with the interviewer's key, and then the same is demonstrated in person with the same keys.

Hell, how to do that can even be an interview question.
This argument seems moot. I am not under the impression that it's difficult to go buy heroin or meth if you want some. Users seem to have no problem getting it.

The worst aspect of QR codes as menu replacements is that they are a huge security risk. Who’s to say that QR code is legit? You can’t tell from looking at it.
