The benefits on earth would be pretty significant too. Any drone swarm sophisticated enough to do this, given inputs it could custom order, could set up productive farming on any reasonable plot of land on earth with a few exceptions (e.g glaciers).

This is very funny to read, because I had the exact opposite journey as you.

I love California so much that I buckled the popular media narrative and moved _from_ Texas _to_ California. Funnily enough, people talk about the California-to-Texas pipeline as if it's a new thing, but it's been an observed phenomenon since at least 2005, and it's a lot smaller than the media would have you think (usually net ~40k year leave CA for TX, with about 80k going to Texas and 40k coming from Texas). That is 0.1% migration, and seemingly negligible in either direction.

Though I agree with the general attitude, when everyone has heard about it, it's already too late. However, this article also strikes me with a bit of snobbery that only the financial experts should know about financial markets.

I prefer the Peter Lynch approach of investing in what you know (or think you know) rather than just on the news of what you hear. This is something available to everyone. Think about what YOU like, what future you see, and invest in things that are creating that future. If you're wrong, you maybe lost money but supported something you believe in. But if you're right!!!

I think of this with the argument of beanie babies vs crypto. Did anybody really thing "beanie babies are going to change the world because..."

Thanks for your intent, appreciate it :) So I used GPT-3 to train all emojis, not only the new ones. That means a particular emoji will get more and more synonyms as I hire GPT-3 over and over again.

Two decades of free money and self-enrichment which wilts the surrounding world.

Offloading all your problems. Moving far far away.

Standing by and watching as other people get blown up, burnt alive, shot, OD'ed, beaten to death and plagued by a bioweapon.

Somehow turning it all around, and blaming everyone else, when your arbitrary reckless activism and unbridled ambition are the source of a lack of opportunity and toxic tribalism.

I would rather be poor. At least I have some dignity. The world doesn't turn into some awful carnival.

At this time I will like to point out that Carlos Slim, owner of the New York Times, bought Tel Cel infrastructure from the Salinas family who have money laundering convictions. Before anyone says well it's the demand, you addicted everyone. We gave the world the Bill of Rights and free markets and authority through self-evidence and your turn around and addicted everyone to your poison. 2.8 billion amoral talking animals, gifted paradise, and sold it out on the cheap. No thanks.
> I'm assuming the RFID reader is just showing up as a virtual keyboard in this kind of setup.

I'm not affiliated with this project but built a few variations of the same thing several years ago.

Essentially, yes, you can configure these scanners in a keyboard mode such that they type the student id with a return. Just set up a simple form with focus on a text field, and reset after each submission.

One iteration I worked on used some other groups web form that wasn't design with this case. I just set up my Pis to automatically launch Firefox on boot, and wrote user script to browse the site and launch the form.

This was all built into the image so if anything ever went wrong, just write the image to a new SD card and reboot.

You can set up the scanners as to scan cards passively as well, but (the way I did it anyways) they won't decode the id when configured this way. Or maybe it was just more fun to reverse engineer it.
More nonsense. There are the usual male-female dynamics at play in any relationship, but this constant falsehood being propogated here about how Islam denies these rights is not just misleading, its the COMPLETE OPPOSITE of the truth.

I repeat, the ability of a wife to divorce her husband is enshrined in Islam. In capital letters, With a bold font.

And yes, that includes Afghanistan.

And yes, I AM from that region (before you bring up that nonsense).

Obviously you are not - as evidenced by the usual hokus pocus anti-Muslim superstitions you're spreading. You're just spreading FUD, possibly spoonfed to you by other even more disreputable sources.

As other posters have said, keep your ignorant falsehoods, FUD and superstitious nonsense ("she would be beheaded" - please ...) to yourself.

Feel free to keep lying to yourself and believe it. Just don't spread it here.

The tabs are so confusing: they switch the reference average, not the period. So if you use a 1981-2010 average as a reference, the anomalies are higher. A tab UI is probably not the best for this.

CMYK support is not a UX issue, that is another thing that's missing on the backend. I don't think it has anything to do with patents, the problem is more because of lack of manpower.
Yeah, that's just a common moderate-to-far left media cliche to form «a new normal» world picture where entire right part of spectrum declared fringe loonies. Because (in contrast to liberals) leftists doesn't allow the very existence of any alternate ideas.

For example, in Soviet Russia leftists even mass-executed a substantial number of left communists for being more left than Bolsheviks.

I understand what you mean but Chomsky is actually very, very accepting of people to the right of him, given how far-left he is.

He's probably the only major earnest anti-capitalist that still supports the right wing of the democratic party.

But yes, if you pin him as a "Democrat" you might get that impression, in reality he's so far left that the Joe Biden administration has classified his beliefs as subversive and dangerous.
The one thing people get upset about, but is necessary, is location. You can't get BLE access without providing location data, and this is very poorly described in the UI of android phones (I'm not sure about iOS).

This is objectively true: people are leaving California for high cost of living, insane real estate prices, and dysfunctional state politics. California is not the epitome of the American dream of "heading west" to make it big that it once was. And tech workers increasingly have mobility. Just the other day there was a top story on HN about a small town in Idaho that has become unaffordable because of outflows to there and lots of anecdotes about similar things happening in other cities around the country. The great opportunity that California once was has dried up, just like the reservoirs.
Thanks for the thoughtful reply. I'm afraid I still don't exactly understand where the post erred, because I think it provided valuable context that I was not aware of. OTOH I'm not the mod who had to deal with the mess, so if you say this is where the leak is, I've got to take your word for it.

> Trolling can only be measured by effects, not intent.

While I hope that principal helps you do your job, I also hope I never encounter it anywhere else. It's a free backdoor to deplatform anyone at anytime. Brigade the discussion and suddenly they're the troll. Yikes.
In principle, sure. But in practice for many politicians, sending a letter will receive a copy-pasted reply while replying on twitter might get you a personal response. Similarly, getting kicked off Instagram will cause many businesses to die, despite there being another dozen sites where you can upload pictures. Social networks have an inherent tendency to monopolise niches, even if those niches are hard to articulate.
"ionized particle moving in your frame can be recovered as energy"

You also recover it's momentum, which means you slow down.
Really you are recovering your own kinetic energy, you are breaking against the interstellar medium, probably very violently and destructively.

That's like saying "a building was moving in the frame of reference of the plane, so it didn't crash - it recovered energy."

A more advanced version of this concept is known as Buzzard ramjet, and it was calculated to be energy negative

I get so confused on how North America haven't figured out an easy way to clean your butt yet.

The thing is that understanding the domain and thinking out a fairly efficient or elegant solution is something a lot of industry specialist and scientists can do, and only part of programming. Another part is dealing with all the language syntax and specialist lego bits/glue code, and that's something domain specialists tend to be less good at and not enjoy spending time on; it's its own craft.

Having a semi-intelligent monkey that can fetch obvious things off the shelf, build very basic control structures, and do the boring little housekeeping tasks is bad for the craft of programming but very good for the good-enough-solution situation. I can see it having the same impact as cheap and widely available digital cameras; anyone can be a kinda decent photographer now, but if you want to be a professional you're probably going to have to work a lot harder to stand out, whether that's by development of craft, development of narrow technical expertise and fancy equipment, or development of excellent business skills.
Cigarettes are hard to covertly hit at school/home. They leave the person with a very distinctive stink. They are hard to buy online and damn near impossible for a minor to buy in person. With only 13% of adults smoking they aren't available to be swiped in most households and taxes in many places make those who do smoke liable to notice them walking out the door. Many places its about $10 a pack.

Furthermore it is much more socially unacceptable and awareness of the harms of cigarettes has never been higher.

Insofar as teens if eciggs were to become as hard to get as heroin tomorrow nicotine addition of teens all cause would be liable to decrease because your mom is absolutely going to know your smoking actual ciggs and have something to say in the matter.

So what I was missing is, that apparently commerzial Airliners do benefit from tax free fuel - but private jets do not. They have to pay taxes and a lot more than this tax is going to be initially.

It depends where you are. For example in Santa Clara County, CA the local Vector Control asks people to report all dead birds so that they can test for West Nile Virus.

GPT-3 is still Microsoft licensed, but a similar model can be put together with the freely available GPT-2 and source code -- especially if your intent is copyright transfer.

As Francois Chollet points out in this talk, ultimately deep neural network models are locally sensitive hash tables, so the examples of people pulling out source code is an inherent shortcoming of deep learning models in general. Give the right 'key' and you can 'recall' the value you are looking for.

And how realistic, exactly, do you think getting regulation pushed through in NYC is, exactly? Unless there is true citizen outrage (and there will never be, given what market we're talking about), you're going to need lobbied buy-in from currently sitting politicians and their successors. So if you're lucky, maybe you'll get something tentative in 2040.

In the mean time: software can solve this problem now. Now sounds good.
And use the whitespace "trick" (usually via a metacharacter).

This:

HEADER_PARAM =
/\s*[\w.]+=(?:[\w.]+|"(?:[^"\\]|\\.)*")?\s*/

is not as useful as this:

/
\s* # Maybe whitespace at the beginning
[\w.]+ # Header key
= # Equals (yes:)
(?: # Header value from here
[\w.]+ # Just about anything
| # or
" # it could be wrapped in quotes
(?:
[^"\\] # Not quotes or backslashes
|
\\. # Sometimes escaped characters occur
)* # Could even be an empty string
"
)? # Maybe they didn't supply a value
\s*
/x

If you can use interpolation with your regexes you can extend this idea into (largely) self-documenting regexes.

Much love. Thank you.
I’m not hooked on building desktop CPUs at home or anything. It could be 3 um, 1 MHz and I’d be happy. It doesn’t even have to be semiconductors. We had vacuum tubes and core memory before transistors. The modern fab is optimized for density, perf, and power. Prioritize ease of fabrication and maybe you get a process or substrate that looks radically different from today’s commercial fabs.

Or maybe we adopt a 500 nm node and stop there :-)

If the only thing that you care about is the legal requirements, then you are abdicating your ability to criticize these laws in India as well.

You need to think beyond what is literally required or not required by law, and think about what the actual effect of a decision or policy is, regardless of who is enforcing it.
"to cost much more than alternatives."

That's why France has cheapest electricity in Europe?

Furthemore, once you take into account damage from climate change for fossil fuels or cost of backup for renewables, their cost triples.

For example Scotland generated 100% of it's energy needs cumulatively in a year from renewables, but in reality the renewables only covered ~30% of demand because it was generating loads when none was needed, and generation little when loads was needed.
> On top of this 30k is on the high end for ground source heat pumps.

When I priced it, this was normal. Perhaps $20,000 would be a a good price - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMO9jvwlHFg&t=634s

Also I assume we are talking Geoexchange (For lack of a better word) not Geothermal. Temperature differentials not radioactive decay

Digging holes and installing infrastructure just costs too much money. Air heat pumps simple, things like being noisy is also getting solved which is awesome.

This is such an interesting concept coming from a different industry (architecture) into software development. I find it hard to be so disconnected to the outcome of what I am making. I definitely care about the projects that I am a part of, otherwise it just feels mechanical. I want to work to solve a problem that I care about, feel like I am doing something more meaningful than just implementing another warehouse logistics crud app.

Don't get me wrong, I have gotten pretty decent at making crud apps, but I find it so much more compelling if the crud app is making education more efficient, vs another problem that I don't care about.

I just find it so foreign that software engineering culture holds your mentality more often than not, where the tools that you are working with are advertised more than the problem you are solving. Not good nor bad, just an observation.
They're not going down in any state right now. There are some macroeconomic reasons for that, but that's out of scope.

You're comparing a country with a 30%+ black/Mestizo component to a list of countries that are 90%+ white or East-Asian. The same kids who score highly in Finland or Korea, also score highly in the US. But because they comprise a lower % of the population, our average as a whole is lower than Finland/Korea.

> What are you trying to do with an asteroid, and why does it need to be decently sized? Neither is relevant.

I'm using the asteroid for mass, to react with the antimatter. So, yeah, it's relevant.

> If you have an antimatter ship, if you can produce, store, and 100% efficiently use antimatter and carry nothing else as your reaction mass and don't have issues with waste heat or radiation, your ship will need to be over 90% fuel by mass to maintain 1G acceleration for years.

Yup. And it's exponential - if the non-fuel mass is 10% to be able to do 10 years, then to do 20 years, the non-fuel mass can only be 1%, and for 30 years it can only be 0.1%. That's why you need the asteroid.

Couple things:

1) It is so weird to me that every cloud provider deletes backups when you delete the SQL instance. We take offsite backups that are decoupled from this process. Fortunately someone made a shell script to do this that has worked quite well: https://github.com/ovotech/cloud_sql_backup (you can then just copy the Cloud Storage buckets to S3, so when you Google account gets banned you still have your database).

2) I hate to be "that guy", but I'm starting to wonder about gitops. I really, really like having all infrastructure changes recorded in machine-readable format with history. Pry it out of my cold, dead hands. But you also lose a ton of important tools, like the diff and the sanity check before you deploy. You could have a CI rule that does the diffs, but then CI has to touch production which is not ideal. You could have CI do a dry run of HEAD and a dry run against your PR, and diff those two, but honestly no CI systems really let you check out multiple branches and use them as an input to the script, so have fun hacking that up. You end up with workarounds for workarounds and the net result is that your auditable infrastructure comes at the cost of taking a human out of the loop (and slows down experimentation). I don't think the model is quite right quite yet.
All you have to do is set the final_snapshot_identifier and leave skip_final_snapshot off, right? Never done this, so I don’t really know.
Your note about the enclosure spec is worth underscoring: without enclosures, it pretty much doesn't work on mobile podcast apps. At best you get a todo list that you have to manually click on to view, whereas normal enclosures can be downloaded and enjoyed offline.
