It would have been far easier to just walk the 20 miles (maybe half a day... being generous) back to the nearest civilized area. Especially since the area around there runs an average high of 82F during its hottest months. And we aren't even talking about the fact that you can just walk at night.

If anything of this story is actually true it might make sense to put yourself in his shoes. You broke down trying to sneak around a military outpost. What are you going to tell people when they find your car or you go get help to recover it? You are only 20 miles out so just throwing a match on it draws a little too much attention to yourself and you have 12 days of water and supplies. The way I figure it, you have at least 11 days to destroy the evidence and any fun you can have in the process is a bonus.

Sure. I didn't say China has done nothing impressive (although it's emissions intensity of manufacturing and other environmental and labor rights records are horrible, which takes a some of the shine off its manufacturing for me, but that blame is equally on western governments and corporations who conspired to circumvent the environmental and labor standards demanded by their populations by farming them out to totalitarian dictatorships but that's a different story). But it's bite does not match its bark when it comes to developing and inventing new ideas and technology.

There is a time and place for margins. Being thoughtful with them is a better approach than "banning margin from all components."

Should I really ban the use of `margin-left: auto` when positioning my flexed elements? I don't think this article is actually advocating for that, but a novice reader may.

Definitely, thermal paste is the answer for any practical application.

Ah you’re right. I was thinking of experiments with indium foil I had seen[1]. Plus gallium is used in the pastes apparently.

So if the goal is a very long term thermal interface material, I don’t think pastes are the best. A homogenous solid is likely to last longer.

Indium foil fits the bill nicely. Also thermal pads or graphite pads, but I’m not sure how long they last.

Agreed. Holmes is 37, so 65 years is a life sentence. From a European perspective, life sentences should be for people who are too dangerous to ever allow back into the community, or whose crimes are so monstrous society requires such retribution - terrorists, child killers, serial killers and so on. US sentencing appears very vindictive, not so much for trust-fund faildaughters but for people of colour arrested for minor drugs offences or under "three strikes" laws. Reminds me a lot of the "Bloody Code" of 18th century England.

> First Equal Protection clause from the 14th Amendment applies to only states and not federally

The Holmes case was merely the catalyst for my thinking. The point remains: Why isn't there a legal push to have blind sentencing, at least for state crimes?

> Second, It is extremely hard to prove that discrimination happens while all other things are equal.

It's not that hard. You take a sentencing case - say, guilty plea to armed robbery with no prior convictions - and pair it with a similar case where the defendant is a different race (ideally without know the actual races involved). You do that for 1000 cases and then show that the sentencing is generally harsher for one race than the other.

> U.S. follows trial by jury...In a such a system there will be biases, because people are inherently biased

I'm talking about making sentencing less biased. I don't have any suggestions for making the trial less biased.

> The biggest determining factor is Money. Richer you are, less likely to have trouble with law, and get away with a lot.

OK but when it comes to sentencing money should not be a factor - rich and poor should receive a similar sentence for a similar crime.

> Race, age and gender are objectively measurable [3], "attractiveness" is lot more subjective to eyes of the beholder.

Sure, but it's not completely random. If you and I both choose the most attractive person in a group of 10 people, the chance that we both choose the same person is far greater than 10%.

Let's say we ask 100 people to rate defendants by attractiveness and use the average score for each defendant. It's quite possible we would find the gap in sentencing severity between the top-10% and bottom-10% people in terms of attractiveness is greater than the gap between black and white defendants.

But it's really a moot point - if we prevent the sentencing judge from knowing the race and sex of the defendant then the judge will also not know how attractive he or she is.
> - Cyclic data: ASN.1 supports recursive data structures.

Not sure if I missed something, but the link was talking about self-referential types, not self-referential data. For example (in CTE):

&a:{
"recursive link" = $a
}

In the above example, `&a:` means mark the next object and give it symbolic identifier "a". `$a` means look up the reference to symbolic identifier "a". So this is a map whose "recusive link" key is a pointer to the map itself. How this data is represented internally by the receiver of such a document (a table, a dictionary, a struct, etc) is up to the implementation, but the intent is for a structure whose data points to itself.

> - Time zones: ASN.1 supports ISO 8601 time types, including specification of local or UTC time.

Yes, this is the major failing of ISO 8601: They don't have true time zones. It only uses UTC offsets, which are a bad idea for so many reasons. https://github.com/kstenerud/concise-encoding/blob/master/ce...

> - Bin + txt: Again, I'm unclear on what you mean here, but ASN.1 has both binary and text-based encodings

Ah cool, didn't know about those.

> - Versioned: Also a little unclear to me

The intent is to specify the exact document formatting that the decoder can expect. For example we could in theory decide to make CBE version 2 a bit-oriented format instead of byte-oriented in order to save space at the cost of processing time. It would be completely unreadable to a CBE 1 decoder, but since the document starts with 0x83 0x02 instead of 0x83 0x01, a CBE 1 decoder would say "I can't decode this" and a CBE 2 decoder would say "I can decode this".

With documents versioned to the spec, we can change even the fundamental structure of the format to deal with ANYTHING that might come up in future. Maybe a new security flaw in CBE 1 is discovered. Maybe a new data type becomes so popular that it would be crazy not to include it, etc. This avoids polluting the simpler encodings with deprecated types (see BSON) and bloating the format.

Yes, good counterpoint. And to the other poster, yes, the EU was apparently designed with this point explicitly in mind. However, the EU countries are on the same order of magnitude of wealth.

Is there any point at which we say "it is wrong to remove wealth from my country, put a fraction of it into working conditions unthinkable in my country, and let the owners of the means of production pocket the rest"? Shouldn't we mandate US-like living conditions and safety regulations if we are going to ethically export labor?

I didn’t see a single disclosure of any of the authors’ personal holdings of the discussed coins, though maybe I missed it. The tone and topics seem neutral and levelheaded, in fairness.

I think it is just as important as a disclosing who sponsored your research and being transparent about any potential conflicts of interest.

The listed Bitcoin wallet address of “Peter R. Rizun, Co-Managing Editor” (1BWZe6XkGLcf6DWC3TFXiEtZmcyAoNq5BW) has some pretty juicy trade volume. There’s no way to tell if that’s all there is to see, of course.

Framed another way, would it be expected for a shareholder of a company writing a paper about that company (or its direct competitors) to disclose their stake and relationships?
Bingo. Author will be fighting an uphill battle on HN because of the lack of specificity (an appropriate problem for a CSS article)
My biggest tip (based on my own experience): if you want to write something, record yourself speaking, then transcribe and edit only if necessary. The brain effortlessly produces sentence after sentence that flow pretty well when it's in verbal mode. The words just come to you with little to no reaching, unlike when writing and trying to think of the best way to put something.

Google and Apple were the biggest contributors.

Well, for Apple, C++ is relevant only in the context of Metal shaders (a C++14 subset) and IO/DriverKit (an embedded C++ like subset), everything else is about Objective-C and Swift, with C++17 being good enough for whatever else they need.

Likewise on Google style, it is all about C++ guidelines at Googleplex, where even not all C++17 features are welcomed.

Everyone else seems more interested in C++ features for their own platforms rather than contributing to upstream (thanks license), so there you go.

As a kid I used to get a kick out of reading manuals, I particularly remember those for SimLife and SimEarth. Somehow I got my hands on the manual for PC Tools for Windows, and I got really interested in the section documenting the scripting language. I think that was the first time I had the idea that I could make the computer do new things. I wore that book out carrying it to school to read at recess, thinking about what little utilities I'd make.

What's weird is we had computers at my school, and we'd done some assignments in Logo, but it never really clicked for me that this could be used for something creative. I was the kid the teachers would send for to fix their computers, but for a long time software was a mysterious thing I couldn't imagine making myself.
> I don't think it's particularly outrageous to expect that people who say and do hurtful things, either intentionally or out of ignorance, should pay consequences.

I think that it outrageous that you not only completely neglect the motivation and give a pass to anyone that feels hurt. It isn't hard to see the problem of course, not only in cases of miscommunication or any kind of conflict. This would cause problems, solve nothing and would immediately create toxic relations.

With your quick acceptance of condemnation, you are just helping real racists.

No they have been seriously trying before then, it's just that they had failed and were somewhat covered by USSR. Even if we take that date, 40 years and countless actual engines to study and they're not even there yet!

> They are nowhere even near to having spent as much as the Russians in resources. You forget that the economy of the USSR was a massive powerhouse, that allocated absolutely massive incestments in military technology.

China is far bigger than USSR ever was, and has been for a while, it also has massive military investments and has always had far more people it could China is absolutely massive in terms of population it can bring to task. So I doubt this. USSR had a pretty large GDP by the end of it yes, but just looking at that is the same mistake as just looking at China's GDP now -- it was not always that large.

> The Chinese, on the other hand, acrually aren't incesting as much money on these technologies as one would think. [etc]

Well I don't think anybody actually knows what exactly they are investing other than they've clearly wanted competitive engines for 60-70 years. But either way this matches what I say about the noise coming from China not really matching the results coming from them, in terms of innovation and developing new technology.

I get that investors should know any investment can go to 0. But she was defrauding them by outright lying about how well the tech worked and what it could do. This verdict I think restores that contract between entrepreneurs and investors by saying if both invest in good faith then the whole thing works out. Otherwise we allow grifters like her and her business partner to suck good money out of the system. Now future folks who would try to do the same have this verdict to look at.

Patients who were wronged by the company did get screwed though. Such is the nature of trials by jury sometimes the jury doesn’t come through.

Soviet also managed that, large state sanctioned projects can accomplish some feats but not others. Soviet did nuclear, soviet went to space, so those are examples of what states can do. However soviet tried to make good computers, but they failed to do so, so for all we know large state sanctioned efforts cannot solve this problem, so it looks like you need the agility of a free private sector to get through it.

> So if the goal is a very long term thermal interface material, I don’t think pastes are the best. A homogenous solid is likely to last longer.

Arctic Cooling states that MX-5 is guaranteed to keep its performance its for 8 years [0]. Considering this stuff is made to interface with 200W+ CPUs, cooking it dry with a Raspberry Pi is very unlikely.

As I said before, I'm cooking MX-2 in two different systems (Q6600 & i7 3770K) for 8 years, and they didn't lose their transfer performance a bit.

From my experience, thermal pads and solid interfaces do not transfer with the same efficiency and cannot absorb heat spikes as well as a good thermal paste. I run my OrangePi Zero with a thermal pad interface to a small heat-sink and that thing runs uncomfortably hot. I can't transfer data faster than 40mbps for a long time or run CPU intensive stuff, because it gets hot, fast. Its form factor and case doesn't allow for a more robust solution either.

Of course the choice is yours, but in my experience, when compared to older paste, or to ordinary white stuff, current generation stuff is leaps and bounds ahead. Especially, Arctic Cooling.
