I interpreted the question to be about common/colloquial usage, not definition.

In colloquial usage, for me, state and country are not typically used interchangeably, and are fairly asymmetrical: i.e. I'd never call Nebraska a Country. I'd much more commonly call Netherlands a country, and only call it a state in formal political discussion.

Everybody's mileage will vary significantly :)
That's because people whip it out constantly and almost always where it's not appropriate. It's pretty rare that anyone tries to enact a new standard. So, instead we see this comic use to downplay every time that anyone does anything resembling anything that has ever been done before. Which is to say: to downplay everyone else's efforts. It has long gone past being funny to just being dismissive in it's widespread use.
The major advantage of FIDO2 is that it's difficult to phish. SIM cloning is not the primary reason organizations are now advocating against SMS 2FA.

Resistance heating is 100% efficient, how can inductive heating be more efficient than that?
Yes, exactly. We have conflicting values to balance. I hope most of us can do it most of the time from the goal, however quixotic, of doing the most good for the most people. I don't claim to know what that is, and I am not saying that the kid in the example shouldn't be able to play the piano (though, on that note, it seems to me that if a student's well-being depends that directly on being able to play the piano, the school itself is foundering). But I get you. It would be all too easy to settle for some sort of rhetorical first principle that abstracts away all the complexity: sharing things makes people sick, we shouldn't share things. Or, other people getting sick is their own problem, damn the torpedos, I'm jamming in the lounge.
This is a cool article about Unicode encoding however I still feel like it should be possible to reverse strings with Flag emojis. I don't see why computers can't handle multi rune symbols in the same way that they handle multi byte runes. We could combine all the runes that should be a single symbol and make sure that we're maintaining the ordering of those runes in the reversed string. Of course that means that naive string reversing doesn't work anymore but naive string reversing wouldn't work in the world of UTF-8 if we just went byte by byte.
In Windows Chrome, it doesn't render the emoji for me. In Android Chrome, it renders a flag emoji - not the raw region indicators (which look like the letters "u" and "s").
If you look at their logo and that of the Totenkopf SS, it's either the worlds biggest coincidence or the worlds loudest dogwhistle.
This misses the real problem with flag emoji in that they are composed of codepoints that can be in any order. With other emoji you get a base codepoint with potential combining characters. Using a table of combining character ranges you can skip over them and isolate the logical glyph sequences. You don't need surrounding context to parse them out like flags need.
The momentum you inherit from Earth isn't in the direction of the sun, but roughly perpendicular to that direction.

It's similar to a car going down the freeway at high speed that needs to make an immediate 90 degree right turn. It can't do that without slowing down first, if it did, it would slide sideways off the sideroad. It's harder in space because the car is going 30 km/s and there's no friction that slows you down.
I suppose this is a nice solution. Would starlink at all apply in this scenario or is satellite coverage not there yet?
1) People, especially kids, jump between and across structures all the time.

2) Humans are great at throwing and catching objects, even with complex, changing trajectories--bouncing off walls, etc.

3) We have two innate senses that are clearly adapted to 3 dimensions: stereoscopic vision and proprioception.

What makes those behaviors relatively intuitive is constant acceleration. In a sense constant acceleration makes everything 2D. (Or 2.5D?) When humans need to track objects which independently accelerate along 3 axes, then there's a much stronger case for an environment alien to humans. (Counter point: hunting birds, though I believe hunters prefer to take their shot when birds are beginning or ending their flight. But notably the most salient characteristic there is acceleration, not merely relative movement in 3D space.)

Yeah, the more that I think about it, you get much more predictive power by emphasizing acceleration, not spatial dimensionality. And I don't think that's being pedantic; the distinction matters. When you look at studies of how the brain processes motion, constant acceleration (at least along 2 of 3 axes, unless/until hitting another object) is often one of the key assumptions that seems to be built into our cognition.

For example, tracking many objects moving independently in 3D space is pretty darned difficult for humans.[citation needed] But that probably has more to do with relative motion (and thus relative acceleration) than with the number of dimensions as a human can track two such objects surprisingly well, especially if they have a third, fixed reference independent from themselves.

Would be curious to compare & contrast studies of spatial cognition between marine animals and terrestrial animals, though.

Fiscal deficit. The public sector grows and grows by hiring friends, family, and party members. In addition to that, every government contract is overpriced for kickbacks, and the government meddles in everything seeking opportunities for corrupt personal profit. All of this spending and corruption is financed by very high taxes that oppress the private sector, and by debt. When you cannot increase taxes anymore (in some cases, Argentina taxes are over 100%) and when nobody lends you money anymore, the only solution is to print money. But everybody knows that money is not worth anything, thus creating very high inflation.
No. Getting to the Sun requires scrubbing off nearly all the orbital speed of the Earth (30km/s), or the payload just orbits at a smaller radius.

The delta v to the Moon is something like 7 times less than to the Sun (3 vs 20ish).

The delta v need of the Parker Space Probe, which still "only" gets to 8.5 solar radii is so high it will use 7 Venus assists to get it close enough (it can't do big Jupiter assists because the solar panels it would need at Jupiter wouldn't be able to fit behind the sun shield at perihelion, and they didn't want to give it an RTG because they're saving plutonium for future missions).

You can eventually hit the Sun with enough Venus assists and Earth assists, for a total delta v of under 4 km/s, but it'll take a very, very long time, and your nuclear waste will be doing Earth flybys until finally it hits the Sun. Also it might be tricky to get the ball of sun-melted radioactive slag to do accurate assists after the sun melts it on the last few close encounters.
I'm not sure if I would think densely populated western democracies are 'about the best place for nuclear you could imagine'.

Currently the best place for nuclear are centrally run countries (China, ...) with a state-owned electricity sector (like France). Bonus points for a nuclear weapons industry or plans for those.

> Germany shut their plants down

Three nuclear powerplants are currently online in Germany. Their shutdown is planned for the end of the year.

> Nuclear is the quickest path to green, and it's staring us right in our faces.

That would surprise me. France builds a single nuclear reactor (the EPR at Flamanville) and is late 11 years (start now planned for 2023, instead of 2012). The reactor costs then around 20 billion Euros.

Nuclear is slow to build-up and extremely expensive.
I'm sure it is. In my experience, the willingness to be vaccinated is directly, if loosely, correlated with the willingness to do other COVID prevention measures, like wearing any form of face covering properly (as in, over the nose and mouth as opposed to a chin diaper) when in an enclosed setting.

Because we are a not-for-profit medical group that receives funding from the federal government, we are covered by the vaccinate-or-test requirement from CMMS. In my department, IT, we had two employees quit over it; both of them live in Pierce County. Meanwhile, all of us (so far as I know, obviously I am not privy to everyone's medical records so I am going off of what is claimed and who remains employed with us) who live inside Seattle were fully vaccinated months before the requirement took effect.

I'm also sorry if I come across as unsympathetic or uncaring. Even though I "just work with the computers," this has not been easy for me or my department, and I have seen nurses and doctors I have worked with for years and become work friends with reach and then exceed burnout and press on anyway out of a sense of duty and obligation.

So it is just a bit disheartening to read yet another thread on Hacker News where people keep insisting we'll just have to live with it and this is just how things are now and the West Coast is obviously bad because we've tried to put this godforsaken virus first of mind for stamping out. I know we're past being able to eradicate it, but to just throw up our hands and say "well, even a disposable mask with earloops is JUST TOO MUCH" makes me deeply sad.

Everything is linked to the inflation rate. Fixed interest lending does not exist at all.

Even then long term lending can easily go both ways, and become too cheap or too expensive very quickly.

(I lived my childhood with hyperinflation, not in Argentina, but that doesn't actually change from one place to another.)

Good luck, I hope you find a team! You don't need to know a lot to start; they will teach you.

Your value to them is not your sailing ability!

As the new, inexperienced person on the team, you are valuable if you sit where they tell you to sit - the boat goes faster if the weight is distributed just so. You are valuable if you say "I will be there" and then you show up (at the right time), every single time. The race starts whether they are at the starting line or not; once they leave the dock it's really hard to pick up new crew members. If you can manage those two things, you are really, really valuable if you pay attention, learn, and ask good questions.
In that same vein, here's my introduction to Unicode about 10 years ago from Tom Scott.

> This place is not a place of honor…no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here… nothing valued is here.

> What is here is dangerous and repulsive to us. This message is a warning about danger.

> The danger is in a particular location… it increases toward a center… the center of danger is here… of a particular size and shape, and below us.

> The danger is still present, in your time, as it was in ours.

> The danger is to the body, and it can kill.

> The form of the danger is an emanation of energy.

> The danger is unleashed only if you substantially disturb this place physically. This place is best shunned and left uninhabited.

2. This is not transferrable knowledge

I've skimmed through the tutorial and I fail to see anything in there that "actually teaches you web". It's a bunch or same old React, with same old React abstractions. Not that those abstractions are bad. They are just falling short of what Remix's heavy-handed marketing promises.

That login stuff sounds… painful. So you’re saying as UserA if I try to login as UserB, UserBs login is corrupted and they have to relogin?
and all the halfway measures we've taken haven't achieved their stated goals.

You have some good points up until this one. Go to your local hospital and ask them how they'd like it if their case load went up by 2x due to a lack of "halfway measures." In some places, that will be OK, while in others, it will be utterly catastrophic.

Obviously that doesn't justify ridiculous overreactions to unmasked toddlers, as you point out. But it's just as obvious that the inadequate measures being taken are nevertheless helpful on a population-wide basis.

No, we don't provide hosting services - only the software, i.e., Proxmox VE for Hypervisor (VM and Linux container), clustering, hyper-converged storage (Ceph, ZFS integrated directly and most Linux stuff somewhat too, then Proxmox Backup Server with PVE integration, can do duplicated and incremental sending of backups and save that to any Linux FS or, well, LTO Tapes, at last (at least currently, we got more up the pipeline) there's Proxmox Mail Gateway, the oldest project and a bit of a niche, but there's not much else like it available today anymore.

> and you store it on tapes for me?

I mean, we can do client-side encryption and efficient remote syncs, so such a service would be possible to pull of with PBS, but no, we don't got the bunker or dungeon to shelve all those LTO tapes at the moment :-)

It's still misleading to market the tapes based on a compression factor which will depend in practice on the data being stored. The tape's capacity is one thing; the effectiveness of the drive's hardware-accelerated compression algorithm on any given dataset is something else entirely. The two should not be mixed.

They use about the same amount.
"Not Another Framework" ... is another framework. And from the look of it, it's the javascript equivalent of Ruby's Sinatra or Python's Flask. It's cool, but I think it promises way too much.

These frameworks aren't so much frameworks, as they are framework builders. For small projects, they get out of your way. For larger projects, their lack of defaults and structure slowly becomes their own undoing. Eventually you get a bad reimplementation of one framework or another with absolutely abysmal security.

Case in point: every Sinatra site I've ended up dealing with has turned into a bad version of Rails. (
Hand-rolled authentication, unsafe session handling, no CSRF protection, buggy form validation...)

A field of infinite possibilities seems like a great idea, but you quickly realize it's actually a sea of infinite decisions.

Once abstraction became possible, the debate between framework or no framework started. And hasn't stopped. Nor do I think it ever will. :)

lol @ bajillion dollar R&D jetpack with ai controlled thrust vectoring
Yeah, it seems like it shows up any time a standard is suggested, which is taking a two sentence premise and ignoring 2/3 of it.
People have always dreamed of flying... in highly varying intensity.

At the one extreme we got people afraid of flying and never wanting to leave the ground at all - and at the other extreme we have people absolutely obsessed with flying.

But I think we have a reached a point where everyone along that spectrum can get their fill of flying more or less easily.

For a lot of people, taking a commercial flight and getting a window seat might already be enough to scratch that flying itch.

Those who want a bit more than that can easily book a flight in a small propeller plane, or a helicopter or a hot air balloon.

People who want even more can go paragliding, or hang gliding, or sky diving.

And those who want the most extreme flying package they can possibly get - well those people no longer dream of jetpacks - those people do fly wing-suits now.

There's no niche left for the jetpack to fill - every type of flying desire is already being served. And instead of going with a jetpack, you could also choose something that's just as exciting but a lot safer and cheaper - or something that's just as dangerous but a lot more exciting and still cheaper.

The jetpack was more fascinating while it was the most exciting option imaginable, and more longed for, during a time when any kind of flying was just out of reach for most people.
