If someone downvoted this because they disagree, I'd like to know why.

Just because he was a good storyteller, and the central character in his stories, makes people blow some things totally out of proportion.

By hindsight, I mean we look back at it with the knowledge of the Challenger investigation, all his writings, his Nobel prize, etc. That guy wasn't the guy at Los Alamos.
I understand your solution, but is it really "Dynamic Programming"? DP requires that the problem can be broken down into subproblems. Also your method requires just quadratic time, right? (It's still pseudo-polynomial though.)

I think it should take quadratic time because for every item you find, you loop through the entire array, and whenever you see a 'True', you add the current item's price in it and make that new entry 'True'. You do this for all 'N' items and then in the end, check whether the last index in the array is 'True'.

Did I miss something?

I believe that there at least few puns related to astronomical bodies possible.
Very interesting info, thanks! Do you know if all the partitions would be encrypted via hardware, like the T2 does? (by that I mean even a Linux partition)
They did. They showed how Facebook censors[1] content in DMs. That has already been supported.

Now, you are claiming it’s not censorship and have provided no basis for that.

but that same renter also received the same increased salary. So cost of living increases have the same effect on both a renter and a home owner.
it's very difficult to inconvenience people in authority without at least some of that inconvenience flowing down to the people they are in authority over.

But I guess one should try to see how it works.
In many western european states the training to become a cop requires a 3-year academic stint at police school. The bar seems much lower in the united states.
Not one. But 3 in a row...
Oftentimes problems are hard, being able to come up with a useful heuristic (in this case greedy + fixer) is probably the most valuable thing one can do. Most math problems in real life aren’t solvable, you have to learn to approximate/bootstrap your way through.
I wonder if this could be set up at some kind of conference. I think that would be fun, especially to be the game master and throw the players for a loop. :D

HN's superpower is that you get a unique list of articles that you can browse. Yes, you can get the links somewhere else but it would be next to impossible for you to get the same collection of information plus you get the commentaries which gives you information you can't get elsewhere.

I would probably pay but it would be nice if the money went to a nonprofit related to journalism.
Shakespeare invented how we think in post-Shakespeare English by transforming language, not to mention what is important to focus on in life (and sometimes the importance of focusing on important things).

99.9% of programming is a lot more of just plugging together library and API calls. We plug them together to user interfaces which is the apex of the age we live in: technology, empowering people to change the world in exciting new ways (as hackneyed as that sounds). It's just true. Our age involves a lot of globalization (in the Peter Thiel sense), but it's still very squarely part of a technology revolution.

Viaweb might've been a way to just make money for the most part. But that's not what impactful SaaS or other software is about. What the APIs / library calls are being connected to is of utmost importance.

And similarly, the ideas that Shakespeare came up with - the hundreds of ideas, that help us focus on what's most important to live a meaningful life, those are also helpful. And yes the language plays a role.

That said there is a grain of truth to this parent comment and PG's post. But there's also a lot missing. Both words and C++/Java-esque languages are super basic. But with enough of a fixed idea in mind, over time, they're good enough for getting at some really important things. And that is what matters.
Which I agree is an extremely useful skill to have, but I wouldn't call this problem "bootstrapping", I'd call it "a trick question". If the question had asked "provide a general solution to get you pretty close to the answer", I'd retract my criticism.
When Is Judgment Day: God’s Final Judgment – God's Good News
Actually it depends on the type of structure. Newer or retrofitted hospitals, airports, bridges, and other essential facilities are designed to remain functional and hence habitable. That is why many of the newer versions of those structures have seismic isolation systems.

yes but it could just be mounted somewhere too then it would be about good detective work and people skills but wven then. it can be triangulated to a degree by its radius.
Yep one more reason to hate Bell. You have to haggle regularly, their sales people lie and do tricks, they constantly break their own contracts. It's a full time job.
I can only venture a guess. Many interesting mathematics results come from people simply observing patterns when doing adding, subtracting, etc. Many insights can come when people are not afraid of getting hands dirty. It's about getting rid of a fear of computation and developing a system for exploring unknown problems.

For example, consider this problem for geometric series: 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 + 32 + ... + 4096 = ?. This problem may look completely intractible and tedious without a calculator. But once you start adding: 1+2=3, 1+2+4=7, 1+2+4+8=15, 1+2+4+8=31, ..., even a child can spot the pattern. Now that they are amazed, they will be motivated to learn more about the cause of this pattern, etc, etc.
It's all fun and games until someone gets poked in the eye.

And tickling the Dragons Tail is great fun.

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

You need people that like to have that kind of fun and don't really care about the risks.

Since they are underpaid in relation to the potential risk, a risk they absolutely know but don't care about, because its so small in their own calculations, you have to give them at least some incentives.

They don't do it just for the scientific fame or out of patriotism anymore.

And they are really bright guys and girls.

At least they were told.

They were selected for it.

Oh, of course they were also selected for following the security guidelines.

They are good boys and girls.

That helps them to hide the dangers from their conscience.

And none of them would ever doubt their own calculations or that of their superiors.

Everything is under control, nothing can happen, everything is safe.

We calculated at least twice.

Until an eye is poked out.

Or a lot of eyes.

And even if something happens, who cares about a few dozen or hundred expendables at most, in the long run?

I already said, it can't be more, because of our safety routines and our extremely bright guys and girls that we need to tickle the Dragons Tail.

Setting the labs up in population centers for other reasons, lab phase two?

Now come on, that is conspiracy theory and Resident Evil Science.

“The main thing that I learned about conspiracy theory, is that conspiracy theorists believe in a conspiracy because that is more comforting. The truth of the world is that it is actually chaotic. The truth is that it is not The Iluminati, or The Jewish Banking Conspiracy, or the Gray Alien Theory.

The truth is far more frightening - Nobody is in control.

The world is rudderless.”

I don't trust Sifted (this is my first time seeing the site). An article linked on the sidebar is titled "The only answer to the quantum cybersecurity threat is quantum." The headline is wrong and the article makes no argument for why quantum algorithms are the only solution. Classical algorithms exist for quantum resistant cryptography.
We can just teach all the people that want this data SQL?
> I would posit that we are the problem because the actions of the cops don't work unless we presume they are telling the truth.

The problem is that we've built the entire system on the assumption that we can believe them. Admit that assumption could be wrong and it all falls apart.

Suppose the cops say they found drugs on you. You say they planted them. If we believe the cops, you go to jail. If we admit that there have been documented cases of cops planting drugs on people and call that reasonable doubt, nobody goes to jail. You can't have laws against drug possession, or anything else where you don't at least have a victim to corroborate what the police are alleging.

Which is presumably what we need to do, but now we have to fight all the people who want to make it illegal to possess anything that crooked cops could plant on you.
Would a protracted civil war ending in the eventual defeat of the puppet government after many more deaths have been a better outcome for the people of the USA?

Seems to me like a swift, relatively non-violent surrender and transfer of power is better for everyone, if the outcome was inevitable anyway.
They have [1]. However, libraries are incredibly decentralized, can have massive collections of "things" (not simply books) measured in the millions, and possess the kind of institutional inertia that comes with operating for literal centuries on a relatively shoestring budget. It's somewhat difficult getting everyone around the world to agree on single system that can potentially catalogue every human creation in existence, let alone to implement it as common infrastructure.

Evil is a fundamental attribution error.

Sure, people do bad things, but it’s not ”evil people” who do bad things — it’s just people, the same people who have the capacity to do good things also do bad things.
The end of this article has an interesting note:

> And we are likely to need fusion well beyond 2050, too: as a source of large-scale power to extract the carbon dioxide we’ve already put into the atmosphere, and because it’s the only feasible way we can explore space beyond Earth’s immediate vicinity.

Can’t we achieve both of these with fission? It seems to me that fusion offers some safety advantages but that we could scale up conventional nuclear energy production to perform carbon capture.
People typically mask the sour/bitter taste of not well prepared coffee with milk and sugar to make it more palatable.

Good coffee you can drink black.
The Quantum.... it, it makes it... makes it faster... right?
I'm sorry to say that putting a coil near a tower would only leech what passed through it, so unless the coil was nearly the same size as/bigger than the tower, and right beside it, and the coil was directly in line with the folks reporting bad reception, this is probably a tall tale.
Been to county and never heard of it before today
Probably because sub6 is the only one that matters to most people. The others are rather useless outside of high density events(think a football stadium and such), as they have next to zero penetration power.

There are flu vaccines every year. But they are not targeted for one strain ... they are developed many months in advanced based on a guess of what variants might be most common. Sometimes they guess right, often they do not. Most people don't get them.

On the other hand, in 2017-2018, vanishingly few people were wearing masks, or social distancing, people weren't avoiding (or governments prohibiting) high density gatherings.

Again, you are comparing apples and oranges.
Wow - this is a powerful account of why you don't judge a character given the mere choice of hobby. Equally inspiring to hear of enriched private lives; thanks for sharing.

I’d imagine Bridge simulation is pretty close to actual naval vessel operations. If something like this doesn’t exist then someone should make a naval vessel simulator and adapt it.
Ask HN: How to Fix Erroneous AWS Suspension?
I am working with a small team of people on a highly optimized GPU-based parallelized shortest path algorithm. AWS accounts are not by default allowed to use GPU instances, so you must request them. During the week-long approval process for that, they said that the card that one of my partners put on the account was not acceptable for whatever reason (despite that their system said it had been validated), so I put my own card on it. After a week of going in circles with them, we were finally able to get approved to spend a whopping 75 cents per hour on a GPU instance.

Less than 24 hours after starting the instance, I received an email from AWS. The card I added to our team AWS account was also on my personal Amazon account, which is how they found my email address. They said that they believed my card had been stolen and fraudulently added to an AWS account, and that they had proactively suspended the AWS account. The email also said that if it was actually authorized, to simply reply to the email and the account would be reinstated.

I replied within 15 minutes of that email saying that it was authorized and to reinstate the account. I have replied several times since then, as I have received no reply nearly 24 hours later, and the AWS account is still suspended.

Does anyone have a good way of getting ahold of these people?
Isn’t that further going to increase gas prices?
The long installation steps are a feature. Seems like the ideal foreplay.
I really enjoy the Aero glass effect from Windows 7 and feel unfortunate when Microsoft removed it in Windows 8. I tried to disassemble DWM to find out its implementation but it did not work, since I have no experience in reverse engineering and Win32 developing. This project seems to recreate a pretty good Aero effect and I'm happy with it, even though there are flaws.

Hopefully someone could analysis how Microsoft achieved this effect and port it to a X11 compositor.
The past internet was decentralized (or at least, pluralistic)
Why would this company IPO now instead of waiting to have actual customers with products in their hand? I can only speculate that investors are forcing their hand so they can cash out as soon as possible, because they don’t believe in the company’s long term performance. Will retail investors be left holding overpriced equity?
The hustle is fraud made sound cool. That is the only difference.

But is this confounded due to the phenomenon mentioned above? i.e. it's due to children consuming more daily sugar vs adults that's causing the difference.

Might an obese soda chugging adult have the same sensitivity as a child? Or would a child living in a remote village (i.e. no processed sugar in their diet ever) have the same sensitivity as the children mentioned in this study?

It does feel like a large part of the sensitivity is related to how much one normally consumes sugar. I know that since quitting processed sugar even some fruits taste too sweet to eat.
They get annoyed but not in the same way; the craziest want an audience and if you don't give it to them they generally move on.
Surely a HF signal is targeted at the horizon and in the event someone close enough did attempt to gather what I imagine would be a handful of Watts via induction they wouldn't be a target of the RF energy so it wouldn't really even work.

That website needs proofreading, it does not instil confidence in your case.

If it actually happened, it would be trivial to record it happening and to share that recording. But this makes it clear you are just trying to throw more confusion onto the election.
So untrue in my experience.....the amount of times I had to fight with external screen resolutions, bad looking fonts, scrolling issues in chrome, etc.
You can cheat on an exam without a signal. But people in the area of exam rooms still should be able to call emergency services if they need to.

But if you still really want to block cell signals in your exam room, just hold exams in the basement of a well built building with a lot of metal in it.
> I'm not trying to be a downer, but it seems like your product is just duplicating the functionality of these existing products but does less since it only supports SQL and Markdown.

To me, this is a feature. Evidence sounds like it’s completely batteries included. Your example sounds like I have to learn a whole new toolchain.
Oh I’m sure that autopilot is going to make this kind of mistake or may be at fault here.

Or maybe take stock of the complexity of the software running your business and figure out how much is tech debt, how much is long-redundant features, and how much is resume-padding and chasing trends.
>My suggest as to the expense of archiving it was that a student could be hired at minimum wage to photograph them, page by page, with a phone camera.

I'm not sure you'd need a trained archivist, but my 15 year-old Brother multifunction laser allows you to scan around 20 pages in a minute through an automatic document feeder at 600dpi.

From a quick look it seems like modern, dedicated scanners in the sub-US$500 range (brand new) have even larger feeders and faster scan rates - being able to chew through a 50 page feeder in around a minute.
Oh yeah, it has HDMI that can only do 4k30p, I use TB3 cable to a TB3-enabled monitor (though there are passive DP-over-TB3 cables in the DP-passthrough mode which can work with regular USB-C too).
'The real OnlyFans scandal is the unaccountable power of platforms and banks'

So the fact that there's underage children selling porn on OnlyFans isn't a scandal? What about the bestiality on sale?
It's one thing to moderate something in the hundreds to thousands of users, and something entirely different in the tens of millions. When you start having multiple groups of attackers and whole underground markets aimed at taking advantage of your users, simply banning individuals / deleting individual posts no longer cuts it.
The assumption that you are making that all the users, and specifically the users that need to be shadow banned, are just normal mentally healthy individuals. Mostly, they are not.

If you want to waste precious minutes of your life dealing with the mentally deranged for free -- that's your call. But you shouldn't be disturbed by those who don't.
I think it's a fundamental limitation of video games. Unless you are playing against other people, you are never really somewhere and I think that shatters the illusion. The same way that "holding" a gun in VR is really impressive, but the headset can't mimic the wind in your face or cool spray of the sea - these issues, I think, don't arise with 2D games because there are too far away from the uncanny valley.

You and your friends in charge of a spaceship would probably feel like commanding a PBR in Vietnam, but I don't think a game can capture that Vibe (it's a cheap term but I genuinely think it fits).

Pulsar looks cool though, will check it out.
I'm sure this doesn't quite work, but a defense could be around a technicality like radio transmissions being federal jurisdiction or an improper warrant.

Reminds me of many years ago when my coworker's monitor was flickering. So we replaced the monitor. Same problem. We replaced cords. Same problem. We replaced the computer. Same problem. Eventually we put his monitor and computer on a cart with an extension cord and wheeled it into the hallway. Problem went away.

It turned out his room had bad electrical shielding and magnetic interference was janking up the CRT monitors.
Yep - I recently just gave away two 2007-era monitors that still worked fine, for free. It wasn't worth the time to try to sell them for $5...
>As a Canadian, may I offer you a double double?

Ordering coffee black up there used to be hard, now it's not seen as too unusual.

Related, but I spent half my time in the Toronto area in the early 2010's and being from NYC-area I would get a craving for unsweetened iced tea. I remember I spent a week or so asking every restaurant I went to if I could order it unsweetened and this was not possible. I think Timmy's was finally able to do it in the last few years I was up there, but not without a lot of looks of confusion 'please, no base... just plain tea and ice'.
There’s Carrier Command 2: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1489630/Carrier_Command_2
anecdote: I was working IT Support in academia when the IBM DeathStar thing was happening. We'd buy computers in batches each summer on a rolling replacement program, and one generation came in with what were, I found out later, rebranded DeathStars.

Within about 6 months most teachers, even the very non-technical ones had heard about the tick of death, and could even recognise and warn us well enough in advance that we could swap out the drives on the affected machines. The manufacturer that sold us them made sure we had a pool of replacement hard drives on hand, once it proved to be a major issue. I believe in the end we'd replaced roughly half of the hard disks over the space of the first two years of life.

Both IBM and the other company entered my shit list after that one, though in the process of writing this note I realise I've forgotten the name of the rebranding company.
Why not full Jira? Jira Service Desk + Jira Software, because as long as things are tickets, even if you are not an “agent”, you can still see the JSD tickets.
Same applies to the most common drink out there, Coca-Cola. Used to be a heavy consumer, now it feels my jaw gets stuck from all that sugar stickiness.
For those looking for qubit #:

The Quantum Brilliance quantum accelerators have only two qubits at the moment, paltry compared to the 72-qubit systems that Google has developed. Horsley said, however, that the company can reach 50 qubits by 2025.
Did the CEO of Atlassian really say that? Isn’t that just a Batman quote? Did he apply it to Jira?
I like the corporate responsibility aspect here. However, this always gets labeled as a sugar tax and the food industry lobbies to stop any bill like this from passing.

I would offer a cap n trade alternative. Each business gets a fixed amount of sugar they can put in their food based products. They can buy credits from businesses who are sugar free. This shifts the messaging that this isn’t a sugar tax. Businesses can sell sugar. Just dial it down, buy credits, or find a way to spread the sugar across all your products.

Would it work? I honestly have no clue since I don’t know if that incentivizes the right behavior.
