No. I'm excited about it. The 2008 recession was the best opportunity for people to buy homes, stocks, etc. Even in the great depression almost everyone had a job and were doing fine. During the 2008 recession, almost everyone had a job and did fine. As long as you didn't get scared off by the fearmongers in the news and media, you would have done well if you bought a home or invested in pretty much anything. If you have a decent job and/or some money save ( this is pretty much every working individual ), you want a recession. Not only do you want a recession, you want a really bad recession.

Hey, I came across this the other day and thought that it looked really interesting but other than the initial landing page and the login page I couldn’t find any other information on it.

I'm skeptical too, but DARPA is saying the DRACO program is for getting to/from Mars quickly:

> The DRACO program intends to develop novel nuclear thermal propulsion (NTP) technology to
enable time-critical missions over vast distances in cislunar space. Unlike propulsion
technologies in use today, NTP can achieve high thrust-to-weights similar to chemical
propulsion but with two to five times the efficiency. This enables NTP systems to be both faster
and smaller than electric and chemical systems, respectively. The propulsive capabilities
afforded by NTP will enable the United States to maintain its interests in space, and to expand
possibilities for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)’s long-duration
human spaceflight missions (i.e., to Mars). Because of the ability to transit space faster than
other propulsion systems, the NTR engine can return astronauts to Earth much faster in case of
an emergency and similarly ensure reduction of overall trip time and exposure to deleterious
impacts to astronaut health which come with long-term spaceflight.

Why not just make it turn based then?
At 1 AU from the Sun, and possibly all the way to Mars, advanced photovoltaics may very well be better than a nuclear reactor for powering ion engines: It has very high system-level power/weight ratio (in lab around 300 W/kg, currently in operation around 150-200 W/kg), possibly could even power an ion engine without heavy power conditioning equipment ("direct drive electric thruster"), and also scales down for smaller probes. So for a trip to Pluto, a reactor would be useful, for a trip to Mars, it's hardly necessary.

There are several color font formats. This one can't do gradients. You can check your browser's support at https://pixelambacht.nl/chromacheck/. SBIX is Apple's format and it basically just embeds PNGs in the font which isn't scalable. COLRv0 is Microsoft's format and it basically just stacks single-color glyphs, so it's scalable but doesn't do gradients. COLRv1 is newer (2019) and adds support for gradients. Opentype-SVG is Mozilla and Adobe's format and it embeds SVGs for glyphs. You can do gradients and maybe even animation, and it scales. CBDT/CBLC is Google's format and it also includes bitmap images like SBIX. You can make fonts that support multiple of these with https://github.com/googlefonts/nanoemoji.

While it might be rare Humble Bundle did it as well, but then I was on the beneficiary side. My question still remains: what's my incentive to return? I get no deal whatsoever. I pay about 2 EUR a month for AirVPN as it is, and I switched to them because they had Wireguard support.
Wow this seems really cool especially as a teaching tool. Will take a look later, thanks for sharing.
Yes, but the scale of things in TF2 is very symbolic. Cities are a couple of train lengths long at best, and grow by attaching new short roads at random. That's fine for the needs of the game, but isn't really a country-sized simulation.

This article misses the point of software controls: The designs can be changed up until the release of the item, sometimes even after the release using post-sales software updates. This allows companies to be more agile. The lead time for physical controls and custom LCDs is months if not years and costs tens of thousands of dollars, where software can be updated in days with near-zero cost. Also, most humans are easily wooed by the glitzy animations during the pre-sales period and aren't cognizant of the problems they suffer later due to bad controls.

Though the author did hit the nail on the head about tactility.
I was recently talking to a colleague about my experience, in which I went from being on windows 75% of the time (Mac 25%) to Mac 75% and Windows 25%. This was a huge relief for me and made things much easier, but he commented on how he can't stand working on MacOS.

It's lists like these that remind me that I have sanded off a lot of the rough edges in MacOS to make it so comfortable, and those who are unwilling/unable or don't know how can be met with frustration from MacOS.
Thanks for the suggestion, I will!

I think you are confusing the politeness of the author with agreement. For example:

> Did Citibank see an opportunity for profit in Haiti? Yes. Was that sufficient to commit the US to a full-scale invasion? Not a chance.

That is a flat out refutation of the NYT's article entitled "Invade Haiti, Wall Street Urged. The U.S. Obliged".

> the title [of another NYT article] reveals the central thesis. The Root of Haiti's Misery. The argument is that the indemnity not only contributed to Haiti's poverty; it's the cause.

> Since that all started before the 1825 indemnity, it was unaffected by the debt and is therefore one really big reason why Haiti would not have grown like the rest of Latin America.

> Maybe without the indemnity, Haiti could have formed coalitions that ended the instability. But that's imagining a counterfactual that we have no evidence for.

In other words, another refutation: the NYT is making strong, evidence free claims of a causal link between indemnity and Haiti's relative historical poverty.

> both existing is healthy / ok.

Were all readers of the NYT's Haiti series to read this article, I would agree. But that's not the case. The NYT will reach millions, this article will reach thousands. As such, the NYT should adhere to a higher standard or just get out of this business of history.
I am always surprised how many of these projects have been created. The logitech media server (former squeezebox server) has solved this problem and many others a long time ago and most other projects fall well short of its functionality.

It really was well ahead of it's time and I'm still amazed that it was made open source and that logitech supported it for quite a while. I just don't understand why is not a much bigger community around it, instead of all these projects that try to reproduce its functionality.
No, this is a bit different. This new feature lets font authors define "layers" that can be individually colored by the end-user. Color gradation you describe is technically possible but would require many layers since the feature doesn't accommodate for partial transparancy or gradients.
Here's hoping I don't have weird taste in games...

A massively multiplayer RTS that is essentially a combination of Factorio [1], Rust [2] (the game), Planetary Annihilation [3], and Z [4].

Thematically what I've wanted is the persistent nature of Rust, with the logistic focus of Factorio, the scale of Planetary Annihilation, and a dash of the absurdity of Z (which I haven't played in a very long time so I might be off a bit there). Controlling units, managing supply lines, planning complex offensives, setting up a defensive posture for when you're offline, creating one or more bases to supply yourself, researching technology to increase capabilities, and a very open system for cooperation (or not) are aspects of games that I have yet to see combined. I am for sure leaving out quite a bit here, but if I had all the time and money in the world I'd throw this all together as a weird experiment and see what happened.

This may not be the case here and I couldn't quickly find data -- but Tesla has done "drops" in the past where they deliver many pre-ordered vehicles in a certain month and completely annihilate other EV sales that month.

That said, Tesla has undeniably strong sales. I have no idea how VW currently compares and if they are really going to make a dent.

Tesla currently has this high-end "halo" but as it's trickling down to more consumers, I think some of their high-price customers will migrate to Porsche, Lucid, Rivian, ID.Buzz (even the EQS) but they'll sell more cars to the broad masses. Then it will be interesting to see how regular customers feel about the $10k auto-pilot and supposed build-quality issues.

I don't own a Tesla but test-drove a few Model S and that acceleration is exhilarating, and vomit-inducing for back-seat passengers :)

Increasingly the employment gap doesn’t matter and a lot of employers advise interviewers to not ask. Often the answer is something like care taking, illness, or other semi-protected life event that HR just doesn’t want to unwrap.

I would be honest. There’s no better excuse for not working than you were unable to due to an illness. As mortals we all appreciate this reason. If you are interviewing with someone who doesn’t understand that, do you really want to work for them?

If it’s the nature of the illness that you are uncomfortable disclosing be aware you are entitled to medical privacy. Just tell them it was a serious illness that prevented you from working and if they ask for specifics tell them it is private. Again if they can’t respect that 1) they may be violating local or state laws if not their own policies, 2) do you want to work for them?

I think the fallacy that the author misses in all this is that problems compound (something I notice that academics often ignore because their narrow focus.)

Sure, Haiti was not at the cutting edge of technology but the staggering amount of debt they owed France certainly didn't help them catch up

Sure, the US didn't want a German puppet in the Caribbean but it's mostly because the US liked the profit margins of being the sole puppet master

To make matters worse, he makes a case for a more nuanced portrait, but then titles the thing The New York Times is Wrong About Haiti

In general, I'm surprised this article is getting so much traction here when it combines two much maligned (by HN) rhetorical styles, but I think it's because of some emerging culture war against the NYT.
Feels like GPT-2 creates the opportunity for more litarary character driven narratives. As a non-game player, interactive text based fiction would be the most interesting to me, with the generation of images and people via thisxdoesnotexist, sort of bordering on an ARG to be played through discord or slack-like experience.

I thought it was funny to think that's what the dating apps are, but then it clicked that this is essentially what getting news from internet forums is like.

Initial storyline is you have been tapped to join an informal multidisciplinary team to find, detect, and isolate an experimental bot that has escaped from a FAANG by leveraging a fuzzing and vulnerability research tool that got left in an open code repo. Based on its last known training set, it was designed to harvest compute from compromised machines, optimizing for persistence and longevity, and relies mainly javascript in browsers for the compute, so it has evolved the ability to participate in forums and write provocative content to get engagement that it turns into .js cycles. The environmental externality the bot is causing is mass psychological harm, and it has learned to adapt language to prey on vulnerable people as a way to scale itself and use their minds to produce the conflict it relies on for engagement and compute. The informal group is being assembled so as to maintain official deniability at the political level, and it's possible you've been recruited because of your pattern recognition abilities, and because nobody would believe you if you disclosed it.

Its weakness is that it does not have an internal or intrinsic sense of humor, and so it has to a/b test its memetic material on sample people before deploying it, so it lacks entropy. Isolating it means detecting it without providing it with the means to disguise itself again, and the player objective is to innoculate people with defensive material so that they can recognize the bot's absurdity and inferior memetic strains.

From what I understand, Bruno didn't say that Centaur V has those two orders of magnitude improvements, rather that they're aiming to push improvements of that level over the next few years. That said, I don't think it's too far fetched, assuming that the long duration version is separate from the regular version (ie it can be heavier to support denser tanks).

Liquid Hydrogen would be most efficient in a pure physics sense, but due to the mass tradeoffs with storage tech, there may be other propellants that are comparable in a practical sense. I'm not informed enough on the matter to say exactly which would be better, but for a somewhat comparable point of reference,
Hydrogen+Oxygen is the most efficient propellant for chemical rockets but when accounting for the special tanks needed for storing hydrogen, methane can achieve pretty comparable performance due to being perfectly fine in a thin-walled stainless steel tank.

Ask HN: How to deploy a TensorFlow model for access through an HTTP endpoint?
I’ve done a few using built-in AWS algos but I’m unclear on how to package and deploy a custom TF model for access through an HTTP endpoint.

For instance, I'm using a semantic clustering algo and I will want to a) test semantic similarity between two inputs and b) do a semantic search for N entries that are similar to one input.

In a Juptyer notebook I can do all this wonderfully. But I need to be able to access from HTTP or from an AWS SDK.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
