It seems whenever the subject of poor behavior from the CCP comes up we get these kind of confused deflections as comments.

It makes me wonder...

> With the pressure argument, you have not explained why the air is faster over the top surface of the wing, you have just stated that it is.

That's true. However ...

> ... the circulation generated by the wings ...

You haven't explained why there is "circulation generated by the wings", you have just stated that there is.

Note, if you take the full flow over the wings and subtract the vector field that is the undisturbed average flow then you are left with a circulation. The two are effectively equivalent, so "explaining" by saying that there is "a circulation" is basically saying that the air flows faster over the top and slower underneath.

It's a non-explanation.

I do have an explanation as to why the air flows faster over the top, but this discussion is too small to contain it.

PS: I agree that all the modelling and equations work very well, and from that point of view its "well understood". However, the discussion here shows that for many people, even those who are technically capable, it is not "well understood".
Ask HN: HTTPS and SSL Proxy security question
I'm not a security expert but I always thought that HTTPS was secure and that if my code was calling an API (for example) with HTTPS/SSL Cert that it was encrypted end to end. Rephrase, I know it's encrypted but I'm aware that MITM or SSL Proxy methods can be used to expose that traffic by spoofing client/server keys.

So I assume that someone has to be on your network to use a tool like Charles Proxy. Is the combination of securing your network plus HTTPS
"enough" security to keep web and app traffic safe? What are other aspects I'm missing? Would love to learn more if anyone is willing to share some good resources. TIA.
Because his shares on "Tim Sweeney angel fund LLC" would appreciate every year and he'd have to pay the same taxes on unrealized gains.

The only way to avoid this is being a foreigner.

Effectively, what they'll accomplish with this tax is either:

1) Letting only foreign billionaires control American companies; or
2) Force American entrepreneurs to waive their citizenship (which, in practice, is #1).

So, yeah, it seems these politicians are either blind or are legislating against American entrepreneurship, in favor of foreign billionaires.

Wouldn't you have to define a tipping point before you could categorize the threat? This seems rather sensationalist to me. Hopefully I'm not just conflating your comment with all the other sensationalism in the constant global warming scares, but at first glance is does seem to fit in.
Ask HN: Strategies to get reviews for a new app
I wanted to hear What is the current thinking on Getting reviews for your app' for an up-and-coming developer like myself?

There is a relevant Quora thread https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-best-sites-to-buy-App-Store-reviews-Android-and-or-iOS which features two dueling camps: one side extols the virtues of select Pay-for-Reviews sites, while the other takes the opposing view of Don't do that! - A sure way to get banned and/or banished; –and Yes, the Refill feature offered by some of those mentioned makes you wonder: What's the reason this is being offered, as in a "good reason" -?
I thought I had installed an add-on and forgotten about it!
Other reasons:

- The US had better submarine-launched ballistic missiles and operated close to Soviet waters; by contrast the Soviet Union needed to sneak past NATO and other US allies in order to get to patrol areas. The priorities are different.

- The main producer of titanium in those years was the Soviet Union, and the US maintained a strategic reserve of the metal, which had uses in airplane building.
> I'm saying there is bias. And I'm saying it because it is healthy to acknowledge that we're both capable of bias and denial of same.

I'm sorry but you're just doubling down on your baseless assertion. Just because you argue everyone might have their personal bias that does not mean that everyone around you is desperately trying to not challenge their beliefs. That's a very specific and very personal interpretation that you're trying to pin on everyone around you without any basis.

Meanwhile, there are simpler and reasonable explanations that you somehow decided to ignore.
Sure, but it has two USB sockets of which one is only used for power supply; if that one could also be used as OTG (instead of just TTL RX/TX as suggested by the fellow) that would be great.

An important caveat is that in Germany (and Austria, I think?) you can't legally dedicate a work to the public domain, but you can surrender most of your legal rights to a work. This is why international public domain dedications often include a fallback public license.

You can have a super fast CSV editor online, in fact I made one: https://www.editcsvonline.com/. It's based on my product DataGridXL, which, I believe, is the fastest Data Grid out there.

As an interviewer I actually do mind interviewing people who have no intention of considering an offer. Preparing for a good CV-sensitive interview and conducting it is significant investment of time and energy, and I don't like to waste it by providing a free service to strangers with no hope of return.

Yeah but the difference is the mainstream republicans regularly push literal disinformation and false hoods to further the goal of the republican party and themselves. You just need to look at the last administrations attempt to literally subvert the election process and install themselves as president when they lost.
Political piece. Does it really belong here?
Ask HN: Anyone Here Using Stenography
Hi, I just discovered what steno is and it seems really cool. Right now I am just blown away by how fast some stenographers can type. I am thinking of buying a Uni v3 but wondering if the amount of effort it’ll take to learn steno will be worth it. Does anyone here use steno for programming or just writing in general? If you do, do you have any tips on how to learn stenography faster? Thanks in advance.
I always read it as dang! the exclamation!
There should have been a spoiler alert.
Oh, well -
Nitpick. German intellectual property laws are part of German legislation. Legislation is a body of laws. Maybe you meant the German legislative community. Well, it's their responsibility to maintain the legislation. Laws are not immutable.
Don't you need sum types/sufficiently powerful enums for Result though? Which, in a way, makes it a language feature.

As a French person, two lines of valediction on paper letters is always funny, and yet required. Especially since the form should be adapted depending on whether you show respect for the person or not.

I once wrote both an employee’s resignation and my acceptance for the conditions of it (on his request for both, he’s non-native), and it was awkward to try to find a valediction that doesn’t put him as inferior.

Language is a treasure.
There was no general awareness AFAIK. I'm from Germany and only learnt about it when I went to their site to download a book I was interested in (back in 2019 I think), found out it was blocked, researched the reason, found out that they didn't actually have to block everything, got angry (partly at the plaintiffs, but mostly at PG for their "overcompliance"), then shrugged and downloaded the book from somewhere else. So if this overcompliance was really intended to "instrumentalize" their readers, like the plaintiffs said, then I guess they unfortunately overestimated their impact.

The news that the blocking has been removed was reported yesterday by IT news sites (e.g. https://www.heise.de/news/Literaturportal-Project-Gutenberg-...), but it wasn't exactly front page news either...
As I get older I start thinking more about our e-waste problem. This seems fairly egregious in that regard.
So if archive.is decided to also return garbage DNS results to Quad9 you would stop using them too?

I get your sentiment, but allowing one single webpage on the internet to dictate who you are allowed to use for DNS is going too far in the other direction, IMHO
Scummy corporations are gonna be scummy if the law lets them do it. If it's not Fischer, it's gonna be someone else. This is more of a failure of the legal system which enable such behavior.
Bernoulli goes both ways and in this case I think the other way makes more sense. Force of air on the wing is net upwards, therefore the pressure at the bottom of the wing is higher than at the top, therefore, by Bernoulli's principle, the airspeed at the top is higher than at the bottom.

Since we are trying to give higher order explanations for lower level phenomena you can probably dissect this a thousand different ways and conclude "it's not that simple", but I don't believe this explanation is wrong at the granularity at which it functions, and it really is quite simple.

(edit) Furthermore the detail of the air speed difference is not even relevant for the explanation mansoor_ gives, so I would hesitate to call it "conflicting evidence". Of course you can demand of a high level theory that it explains a fact which is not necessary for the high level theory to function, and then say that it's not as simple, but I don't think that's fair.

What about autonomous carts? Why aren't we seeing more attention on that, above autonomous cars, which drive fast, have passengers, and can hurt someone?

I'm picturing a slow moving crawler that has a public bin on top, slowly trundling along the sidewalk in a loop from the garbage depot through town.

Or a cart with space for dishes so that you can dump your used plates and get freshly cleaned ones from a central washery.

Or just one that delivers packages.
This would be quite fascinating, as pineapples don’t grow on trees. Your point is well-stated, nevertheless.
I would caution against anyone supplementing with NAC for general health reasons (e.g. other than a specific condition like bronchitis).

In mice, very high doses of NAC causes tumors to form. https://www.science.org/content/blog-post/n-acetyl-cysteine-...

More broadly, there is a lot of emerging evidence against directly taking antioxidant supplements. For example, it is well established that antioxidant supplementation counteracts the benefits of exercise in humans (free radicals are a cue the body uses to initiate recovery). https://www.emerald.com/insight/content/doi/10.1108/NFS-03-2.... You can find similar articles/studies for other antioxidants.
The SR-71 used titanium ... from Russia. :)

https://wisconsinmetaltech.com/titanium-and-the-sr-71/

Titanium is used for fasteners in the 787 because aluminum reacts (galvanic corrosion) with carbon, used in the fuselage and wings. As a result, it's 15% by weight.

It is a great video!

Considering the fact it could have been bunch of enthusiastic cheerful HR staff, who decided to do some fun stuff. Designed choreography, rehearsed multiple weekends, wrote the song, composed it, played the instruments, shot it (great camera direction).

I wish I could be 1% as creative as them, or our HR.
Amsterdam is definitely less chaotic than Oxford, the canals are wider and there is less "pedestrian" traffic, the closest you'll find is water bikes or tubs with drinking people.

The main canals are mostly visited by touring boats or motorized leisure craft.

No, our radio emissions would not be trivially detectable. In fact they would be phenomenally difficult to detect even from our nearest stellar neighbor, Proxima Centauri. If you take the most powerful BBC antenna [1], then a James Webb-sized telescope placed near Proxima Centauri, and pointing straight at the Earth would receive less than 5 photons per second from that antenna.

Here's the calculation, in case you're curious: one light year is about 10^16 meters; a sphere of radius 4.25 ly has an area of 2 10^34 m2. The BBC antenna emits in the 200 kHz band, so a single photon has an energy of (plank const) x (frequency) = (6.6 10^-34) x (200 10^3) = 1.3 10^-28. The antenna has a power of 500 kW, so that translates into 3.8 10^33 photons per second. That means at Proxima's distance each square meter will be crossed by a photon about once every 5.4 seconds. The James Webb telescope has a receiving area of 25 m2, so you end up with a bit less than 5 photons per second.

>If an employer has decided to fire you, then you've not only failed at your job, you've failed as a human being

I mean I would take that as a pretty good ironic comment - I would definitely need a lot more context for me to decide that the person who said it meant it for real.

That is to say there are some viewpoints that can be held by real people, for example that the earth is flat, but if someone says in a passing comment "I've decided to cancel that vacation to Indonesia because I don't want to fall off the edge of the world where the sea monsters dwell" it is more reasonable to suppose it facetious until we get enough data to figure no, they're just nuts!

> Wouldn't you have to define a tipping point before you could categorize the threat?

There are quite a few tipping points that are only fully definable in hindsight. Attempting to anticipate them still has value.

For example, I might see latency creeping up on my webserver over several weeks. At some point, that's likely to become a problem, but the exact date/time when I get Pingdom alerts from a downed server may not be something I can determine.

> A billionaire several times over, Thiel was the first outside investor in Facebook; he went on to co-found PayPal, the digital-payment service

I’m sure the article is great and all. But that doesn’t exactly inspire confidence.
Paypal was founded years before Facebook of course.
It depends on semantics and your interpretation of value.

In the eyes of most people free == 'something that i don't have to pay for through my bank accounts or other means', as opposed to caring about analytics, telemetry etc.

At least AFAIK that's the common usage and what almost everyone means, though it's definitely worth it to talk in more detail about what hides under that term most of the time!

it's important to remember that the Earth emits 100x the radio wave energy than the sun.

At some point between 50 and 100 light years the Omni directional radio waves blend with the background radiation.

I have seen projections of "plausibly easy" detection up to 50 light years. They difference between the number of stars that are 50 light years vs 40 light years is about 2x, so the calculation of how many stars are in range is actually very sensitive to emission range. There are 64 stars 50 ly out, and almost 500 up to 100ly out.

That's still not that many though, given the 500 billion stars in our galaxy. It seems only plausible that an ET intelligence would detect us if they have seeded the galaxy with probes - in which case their would probably be one listening in our own system anyway.

I think it would be pretty intuitive if we had red, green and blue dies for attack >> feint >> parry.

And in rpg d20, d12 and d10s are pretty common, so I think it could be tweaked for larger effect.

The challenge would be to make attributes matter in a non-binary and fair way (in the obvious d6+attribute vs d6+attribute system attributes only matter when they overcome the threshold).
I know they consider "1.1.1.1" to also be a product name, but it's very confusing when the text says 1.1.1.1 50 times, and then there's 2 mentions of "Oh, the service is at 1.1.1.2".
Waterways don't have clear lanes, intersections and turn signals, but you generally have unobstructed view, and every participant with the exception of the rare swimmer is much less nimble than a pedestrian or biker (and thus more predictable).

Waterways are very chaotic, but in some ways it's still more predictable than city driving.
I suspect that I might be part of the reason for the prev and next buttons. HN has bad accessibility when it comes to screen readers and following the parent/child relationship between comments. Some time ago I answered to the wrong person for the wrong reason and a commenter said that they will ask the HN staff for a solution. If my case was not unique, those comments might be the answer. In terms of accessibility, those buttons are not as good as using the semantic html <li> tag, but they help somewhat.

Not affordably. Titanium ore is expensive and slow to refine.

More importantly, it's insanely expensive to machine, especially large parts.

I would argue that the US military is at a disadvantage in using titanium and composite airframes, since the production rate is glacial compared to aluminum, which can be easily stamped.
Software Architecture Patterns: 5 minute read
You can change thousands of DOM nodes in an eye-blink, but not while scrolling. It's too much for the DOM to repaint/redraw itself and keep 60fps scrolling.

I have managed to create the fastest Javascript Data Grid out there by not working with indivual <td> or <div> nodes for cells, but by using a neat CSS style: this only needs one dom node per COLUMN, not per cell.

The downside is that the product does not support multi-line rows.

All of these "oh it's easy" assume absolutely no external factors and fully controllable environment. Self-driving(sailing?) boats in city canals are super easy to do, if you assume nothing else is ever in those canals(which is definitely not true).

It's the same when people just say "oh once all cars are autonomous we'll just have cars driving through city centres at 200km/h!" - to which I say ok, but what about cyclists?
The problem is Signal is not a standard unless they open up their ecosystem, so we're not actually increasing the number of standards here.

I've been through the pain of convincing people to Signal due to lack of better alternatives at the time. And I've done it yet again for Matrix. In this case, each move brought us closer to a global optimum so I'm not sorry for it.
That does change the metrics from the usual! No wonder interest is scarce.
