Real physicists can correct me, but here's my understanding of it: if only the electromagnetic force is involved, the numbers provided by QED are amazingly accurate (for example, calculating the magnetic moment of an electron). But when the strong force is involved, as for the radius of the proton, the calculations are much more difficult: you can't calculate what the radius should be.
Indeed, it could be interesting to make a heatmap based on explicit responses, then another based on HN's internal IP logs (w/ the clunky geo IP deductions that can be made from that), to see if there's any areas of large divergence – then hypothesize if those are more due to:

- selective propensity-to-respond-to-poll

- misleading geo IP data

- other software-agents/traffic-drivers/usage-differences (eg: some areas/cultures skim headlines once a day, others get deep in the comments)
IP data would be close enough to the actual aggregate proportions
I'm completely fine with that kind of business model. It's better than microtransactions that make the game pay to win. Plus anyone that just wants to play because the gameplay is fun can.

That’s nice in theory and likely a factor over some areas. The primary differentiator is a culture of local access to VC funding. It explains both the timeline and geographic distribution.
Why would the Dutch allow this?
24 years to earn your money back works out to a 2.9% annual rate of return, which is a little bit above both the 20 and 30 year treasury yields (~2.23%), reflecting a small but positive risk premium for a big blue-chip company that is generally seen as a low-risk investment.

This looks like another example of how low interest rates cause stock valuations to run up until their long-term yields end up only slightly higher than bond yields. Investors expecting that rapid growth to continue might be disappointed.

>Except profit maximization, you mean?

that just goes back to your previous comment. There's nothing about consumers that require them to emit greenhouse gasses, but they do so because it's the cheapest.

>they will proceed to destroy the environment because short term profits are more important than long term survival.

they won't emit greenhouse gasses if there's a market for non greenhouse gas emitting products. See for instance, all the GMO-free/organic/vegan/free-range/fair trade products at your local supermarket. I'm not sure about all the labels, but I know for a fact that organic products have better margins than conventional ones.

Your correction is wrong... The size of the two objects is irrelevant. The only variables are their respective masses and the DISTANCE between them.

If it's worth correcting people, it's worth correcting them correctly... Don't you agree?

Also... The previous poster was pretty obviously talking about the constant of Gravitation (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_constant). His way of phrasing it is a common English shorthand that I see frequently enough that it's a well understood usage. They may not have used precise language, but their phrasing was definitely less misleading than your (incorrect) correction.
The corridors are similar Western NY -> DC corridor is probably served by a facility in Pennsylvania. New England to Albany to Connecticut is probably near Worcester, MA.

I know that for McDonalds and Aldi, Albany, NY is “Boston” and Utica west is “Pennsylvania”. It’s all about the transport corridors and modes.

Generating worlds automatically has long been done and refined, the keyword to look for is "procedural generation". The problem is that these often end up "soulless". The way around that is usually not ML but simulating the world's history: to generate interesting terrain start with boring terrain, then simulate a couple thousand years of erosion. To generate a city start with a village, then grow it over the years. To make a forest interesting simulate trees growing and competing for light for a couple centuries. This quickly gets complex and computationally intensive, so usually you end up with human artists guiding a much simpler process instead.
It's weird to have strong opinions about userspace here given that the code search Kees Cook provided includes only test cases (and, amusingly, what looks like one piece of shellcode) --- the followup search on `execlp` turned up some things that looked like they might be non-test hits, but it turned out that only the test case hits were argc==0.

There's also comments throughout the thread that POSIX requires programs to accept argc==0, which does not appear to be the case --- the opposite seems closer to the truth, in that "strictly conforming" POSIX programs must have argc>0.

Not breaking userspace is an important goal, but breaking bad test cases doesn't meaningfully break userland.

The flip side of this is that people went looking for additional instances of the pkexec bug and none have, as far as I can see, turned up yet.

I am not a genious but here is what I have learned so far:

- Most crypto/NFT are scams (go checkout youtube and influencers everywhere)

- The ones that are not are mostly useless. I know people solving problems using blockchain that don't exist. In many cases, blockchain is a solution in search of a problem.

But hey, you never know. In early 1990s, people said Internet is a fad. And here we are.

This is neat. The author makes a list of problems with online medical information, defines what makes good medical information, and then coded a prototype to improve the accessibility of one class of medical information—the meta-analysis. The author's prototype imports 17 randomized, controlled trials on whether zinc lozenges reduce cold duration.

The prototype is interactive and you can add/remove trials to build your own informal meta-analysis. For example, I can easily generate screenshots that claim `According to 11 selected studies, there's an insignificant chance that zinc lozenges reduce cold durations by 1%.` or the exact opposite `According to 12 selected studies, there's a significant chance that zinc lozenges reduce cold durations by 21%.`. This provides the reader with better insight into the uncertainty of an issue, and also highlights the vulnerability of meta-analyses to manipulation. This tool, and some of the links provided by the author, highlight how higher level meta-analysis tools may build on the benefits offered by the original static meta-analysis.

The prototype also includes a "Funnel Plot", a clever chart type common in meta-analyses that I hadn't noticed much before.

One minor suggestion would be to include a 4th critical attribute of what constitutes "good" medical information: precision (aka personalization). A bit of demographic information can often make all the difference in a treatment. What has a 1,000% effect on one person might have predictably 0% affect on another, and so those decision trees should probably always be included. I suspect the author is aware of this and just cut it for scope.

> I honestly prefer to use Apple payments and Apple "Hide My Email" as I'm sure a non-trivial number of users do. If they could just refocus on making developers prioritize that flow for users over outside payment systems (e.g. create a flow requiring users to agree to disclose their private information to the app maker and third parties in order to use an outside payment system) then they'd keep most of their customers in the Apple ecosystem and keep the payment processing.

It's pretty good stuff.

But they seem to be admitting that the payment processing is only worth a 3% cut. And you wouldn't charge apps for the email hiding.
It would be FAIR if you could charge iPhone customers more than Android customers but Apple is not stupid. The small print in your contract forbids just that.
Looks great, thanks for sharing!
The latter, and about as worthwhile.

You're starting off by being skeptical about crypto and asking what's "not-a-total-scam".

That's a good thing when it comes to crypto. The less you trust other people makes things look better for crypto.

Crypto is better positioned to deal with a lack of trust in a transaction than any traditional business or government. It's designed to be trustless. You can (and IMO should) be a paranoid schizo and worry that every single human is trying to rip you off at all times: but in crypto, code is effectively law, and everything is effectively transparent.

You don't have to worry about somebody completing their end of a bargain when you can verify that money is held in escrow and contractually held until conditions are met and you can even examine every line of code. Even if somebody wants to rip you off in this circumstance, they can't.

You don't have to worry about how many tokens are in circulation when you can look it up and verify any time you need to.

How do centralized systems deal with proving that they're trustworthy? They don't, unless you trust that government and law enforcement is able and willing to find every scam, lying business and institution, and finding corrupt con-artist out there.

And they're not. An example I like to use to illustrate this is the concept of naked shorting in the stock market making it such that it's impossible to know how many shares are even in circulation to set the prices. See this story.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/rsaevv/in_march...

> In March of 2005 this guy bought 100% of shares (1.1M shares) in a traded company to prove the corruption. The next two days that same stock traded 50 million times and dropping the price 99% in two hours. All this with LITERALLY NO SHARES AVAILABLE TO BORROW OR SHORT.

The NYSE has been around for over 200 years, seemingly can't or won't eliminate this practice, and if you don't trust them what recourse do you have? Imagine if trading was implemented on some kind of crypto though: you can instantly verify exactly how many shares actually exist with zero possibility of a lie.

Your question is asking about specific projects, and I can name and espouse the interesting and unique benefits of many, but I think you should start over and look at the basic attributes of crypto that centralized systems cannot provide.

PS: Speaking of being skeptical, it's a little odd that you create a random account and just dart in to make a couple of posts about crypto. Is this somebody with an agenda or somebody trying to farm accounts with hot-button topics here?
Yep, it's like every other MVC or server side framework. You can still send client side JS for interactivity, and these days there are small jquery-like micro frameworks like petite-vue, alpinejs, stimulus, etc. that are made to sprinkle in interactions where necessary. If you want the smooth SPA-like experience there are systems like hotwire or htmx which effectively hide all the page reloading.
I would be okay with an open-by-default enum type. (I think...I'm not sure I've ever encountered a language with open-by-default enums.)

I'm still not sure if it's worth it, it's idiomatic Go to "fall-through" if-branches for default cases, which is the same when checking quasi-enums. The symmetry is nice and makes it very easy to read. But I could be convinced.
I obsess over this concept. I am a robotics engineer and my dream is local manufacturing with small DIY machines. But it's a lot of work! When I have a little more time I want to teach community robotics classes and build machines that makes shoes and hot food and other important goods, designed and built as a community. I designed a cheap large format laser cutter [1][2] and now I am designing shoes that can be made with a 3D printer, the laser cutter, a sewing machine, and some basic tools. [3]

Stefan Zweig in The World of Yesterday wrote about his first visit to the United States in the time before WWI:

“No one asked about my nationality, my religion, my origin, and what was more—an amazing thing to imagine in our modern world of fingerprints, visas and police permits—I had travelled without a passport. But there was work waiting for people to do it, and that was all that counted. Fabulous as it now seems, a contract could be instantly agreed without today’s inhibiting intervention of state formalities and trade unions.”
you know maybe it should be with multiple columns...
Health concerns are real (methane and potentially CO), but they are one thing - vastly more energy efficient.

So if you're in to energy efficiency gas appliances make some sense.
There's something ridiculous about burning a ton of gas [to boil water and spin turbines], which generates and sends electricity (with enormous losses at every step) to a stove which heats a coil ... to boil water.
Covid is not commonly spread in restaurants either. Less than 1.5% of Covid infections contact traced in NYC were attributed to bars or restaurants, according to the NYC Department of Health.
I had something similar on nitrous oxide, except that there was this sense that there were parts, like crystals, which were made to slot together and they were hooking back to each other, one by one, and each addition added some kind of functionality. Unfortunately, the whole thing was rather fast -- I come out of general anesthesia like a shot, I am told -- and I was unable to observe more than that.
Only a number of years too late...

It's worth noting that as far as changes in FreeBSD forbidding long-standing permitted behavior goes, this one was notably very uncontroversial.
The point is well taken, but a lot of people on r/halo do complain about the vehicle physics, so I think there is still room for improvement even if the goal isn't mathematically precise physics.
We had two methods to measure the proton and they gave different results. People used to trust the old value more, but a study in 2019 implied that it was the incorrect one and the correct value is the new one. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton_radius_puzzle, https://www.quantamagazine.org/physicists-finally-nail-the-p....

The latter says "The new result implies that earlier attempts to measure the proton’s radius in electronic hydrogen tended to overshoot the true value. It’s unclear why this would be so" and it seems that these researchers have now shown why.
5c + 5% is also standard for smaller payments.

GTA Online is F2P in every way apart from its bundling with a retail single-player game. It's a full-on live service offering with events and an economy built on in-game currency that can be purchased as IAPs.

Many speculate that GTA Online's success is the primary reason Rockstar hasn't focused on a new single-player GTA for most of a decade.
It's like on the reddit wars:

Exactly. Stop trying to overthrow Apple from the ecosystem they built.
Procession of them outside of your home in a number (5 iirc) of US states without the proper trade licenses _can_ be illegal.

In 4 of those states they are “pretty much legal” but you may have issue a defend as to why your procession of them Wasn’t for illegal purposes. https://toool.us/laws.html

Other states have laws preventing the procession of them if you have prior convictions for things like burglary.

But in general, they are pretty much fine to own.

Not sure on the state laws surrounding the sale of such tools from a sellers point of view.
Canada is smaller than California.
Apple's approach is even simpler from a technical point of view. The oldest supported iPhone is the second generation of 64 bit processor. There were almost certainly problems with the first generation (of anything). The oldest supported Watch was the first with (a now mature) 64 bit processor. They made it mandatory for apps in the store to be 64 bit.

Android meanwhile supports 32 and 64 bit, multiple instruction sets, multiple (incompatible) SOCs etc. That is a lot more challenging.
Current top 10:

'US: California' '79 points'
'Canada' '48 points'
'US: Washington' '39 points'
'US: New York' '36 points'
'Germany' '35 points'
'United Kingdom' '34 points'
'US: Massachusetts' '19 points'
'Netherlands' '18 points'
'US: Colorado' '17 points'
'Sweden' '16 points'

Colorado #9? Really?
Who is being hurt here? Users are clearly flocking to this platform because it does what they want. Who cares that app developers are unhappy? There are lots and lots of smartphone manufacturers. It's a thriving market. Most non-technical folks don't perceive the device and the OS as separate things.

If any company wants to disrupt the market, much like Apple itself did with the iPhone, there is literally nothing stopping them.

Edit:

> rules that are decided by you know, Democracy

At what point does democracy overreach? Is there one? Isn't it "democracy in defense of liberty"?

This is the biggest confusion. You're not paying 30% for Apple to process your payments -- you're paying 3% for that, apparently. Not really a surprise since that's what every other CC processor charges but now we know. The rest is a sales commission, always has been. If you read any of the documents for the Apple/Epic lawsuit you can see exactly that. You want to reach iOS users and sell to them on Apple's land, that's the price.

You wanna sell stuff to players in your Xbox game, 30%. You wanna sell stuff to players in your Playstation game, 30%. The service they're selling is stalls in their market that gets a lot of foot traffic.

Hi, of course there are :) So the transformations are deployed in a separate NodeJs process per node. You can use familiar tools to take a look at its cpu + memory usage.

As for how it affects redpanda, currently we are working on exposing metrics via Prometheus. All of this work occurs on background threads, so the only way it would affect throughput is if enough coprocessors are deployed with enough actual work that would eventually start to fill up our seastar reactors.
