AS an australian, i am sick to death of dealing with the legacy of the UK and wish nothing more then this to come true. Unfortunately, the UK is the worlds offshore banker, makers of the tax haven scam. Thats how they maintain their power post colonialism.
Why is that different to money for votes?
A "boomer" is slag for a nuclear missile submarine. Hypersonic missiles do not change the logic behind MAD which is "you can launch a first strike, but we can still respond with enough damage that it makes doing so untenable."
So you can pay for the extra fuel needed to haul around all the extra weight of a “fully-loaded” vehicle?
Are you actually aware of this or simply suggjokeing that she is now?
Sadly, the only safe way for startups to ensure compliance will be to block IP blocks of any country they're not intentionally doing business in. You will start by intentionally doing business in your country of incorporation, contract out with a consultant to ensure that you are meeting your compliance requirements in your local jurisdiction, and only expand intentionally from there. Sure, users can use VPNs to bypass IP blocks, but at least then you have a defense that the user "traveled" to a jurisdiction where you do operate.

Or - you take a leaf from the pirate's book and throw caution to the wind. Which will be pretty much the only way to get the growth that investors expect, even as investors will refuse to invest without at least the appearance of legal certainty of the first option.
Um, so I hate Facebook as much as the next commenter but calling it news that FB managers are meant to be getting rid of less good employees seems like quite a large stretch.

I would assume that that is standard practice at every company that exists?
Would Elon make a move like this without knowing what the consequences are? It looks like Twitter is going after him out of spite
Implicit multiplication too.
This is reasonable, but the question is then wrong. It should state that the options given all represent plate numbers that were testified to

The UK exists right now as a shell company City of London who are the tax havean bankers of the world. The UK knows your financial secrets, and thats how they keep themselves relevant.
> Plus, I heard solar is cheap and nuclear is expensive. Can't argue with price (which is never distorted by unincorporated externalities)!

The unincorporated externalities make nuclear much more expensive in comparison to solar/wind.

Nuclear does not have to cover for the eventualities of an accident, their cost does not include long term storage to name just 2.
After reading this I think we're a long ways off from Robocop.

I see a stand for a Macbook but no Macbook itself. The social commentary is on point. Truly art.

(There is an old busted iPhone, but I'm willing to call it old enough that she does, indeed, own it since it's too old for Apple to repair themselves.)

I use the trigram functionality for a movie name autocomplete feature, works pretty well.
I'm not even joking, was this created by someone with schizophrenia or maybe during a manic episode? It reminds me of the connections my ex would make while she was manic. And those absurd connections made their way into her art.
Most of the curving stretched, I'm assuming gravitational-distorted, galaxies in that photograph seem to have a similar focal point for their curve. Surely that is not a coincidence. Is the body in the center of the photograph gravitationally distorting the light from the further objects all the way out to the edge of the photograph?

Much sooner than you expect cities will ban IC cars from downtowns. Not long after that EV's with a width of more than half a lane will be banned or taxed. This will effectively double the capacities of city cores at no cost. Few cities will resist.

> By "poisoning the earth" you mean burying extremely small amounts of uranium half a kilometer under the ground. The entirety of the USA's nuclear waste from power generation fits in a volume the footprint of a football field and 10 yards high. That's 70 years of nuclear waste.

Citation needed, just looking and the temporal storage facilities of a single nuclear power plant is bigger than a football field.

If one country has way more than other there is a big incentive to try to get that money. Australians are not scamming Americans, Swedes are not scamming Americans. There is no incentive.

I agree that the scammers are scum. But you will solve nothing without changing the economic situation. I do not apologize them, in case you wonder. I am just being realistic that blaming individuals in a system with millions of people will solve nothing.

Yeah. These people have demonstrated a willingness to throw money into a garbage bin.

If you play the lottery and are poor, I want the government managing as much of your spending as possible.
I am not sure what are you talking about. Did anybody claim Europe controls the flow?

The contracts likely have clauses related to failures to deliver, and Russia will have little influence over how those clauses will be implemented.
A big difference is that the prints degrade and viewing conditions varied greatly. If you were watching Lawrence first run on 70mm print at large theater with the projector lamps cranked it was borderline religious experience. But if you weren’t in a big city and caught the end of the second or third run or a 35mm print with lamps at normal levels 4k on a newer tv is almost certainly better.
The idea "it was just a website" is so absolutely weird.
With the right configuration, you can use it as either of them.

Only thing is that data compression / formatting / structuring and corresponding indexing config must be good.

A simple table with a PK and a document column is enough to make it into a great MongoDB alternative, upto a certain size.

Yes, Ulbricht's lawyer did a truly awful job and anyone else would have likely gotten him off on procedural grounds.

However the evidence that should have been thrown out was pretty clear he tried to order the murder of numerous people. He should 100% be convicted of that and spend many years in prison because you know, we as a society decided somewhere along the way that paying someone to kill people is bad. Fortunately he just got scammed by the hitman haha. Had he actually been competent enough to hire a real hitman there would be a pile of bodies to his name.

He's not a good guy lol. He's a bad guy, who should be out on a technicality for the charges he got convicted on - but really would likely spend the rest of his days in prison for the other things he definitely did do. The government simply chose not to pursue those charges because they'd already lined up a slam dunk. Not because they couldn't charge it, just that they had better things to do than smacking a dead horse around.
He didn't get life in prison because he pissed someone off in the government.

He got life in prison because the laws he broke called for it.
Insider who worked with a lot of schools: Yale is a much, much better school than Stanford. Stanford beats Yale on hype.

A lot of the elites are hype-over-substance, and it's often hard for a naive audience to screen out which ones.
There are a group of people who correlate together, who report facing distress, who tend to be treated in the same way, called people with ADHD. I acknowledge this. However I don't acknowledge that ADHD is simply a binary where you either have it or you don't, it's a heterogeneous condition when you do have it, and people who can't get a diagnosis may literally meet 5/8 criteria. The binary cutoff has absolutely nothing to do with scientific evidence and everything to do with organisational practicality.
> we’re not acknowledging how traumatic it is to be laid off.

> Being laid off is an emotionally shocking experience. It’s unexpected. It’s jarring. It throws everything off-kilter.

that depends on severance package. Can't say for other industries, in tech we're exceptionally lucky - the packages are large, and it isn't traumatic, it is a chance to finally update resume and find a better paying job. Speaking from personal experience in 2009, the worst tech hiring market since 2002, took me 1 month to find a job :) And it is hardly ever unexpected. Usually everybody knows almost for sure. Except may be really small startups where risk/volatility is naturally part of the game.
I got laid off a few years ago and I immediately bought a plane ticket to Spain to do the Camino de Santiago for a month. Ended up staying almost 3 months.

Of course I was lucky that I was single, in tech, w/ a high(er) salary that allowed me to do that, but it was a positively, life-changing turning point for me.

Since then, I've never re-joined the grind of FTE.
I think what the parent commenter implied to mean here is, they like when companies put in features (Razor and blade model) and add soft-locks to prohibit people from using them, because they a tech-savvy user can often find a way around it.

They think this benefits them, because they can get a device (for example a printer) at cheaper prices at what would be possible, and find ways around (cartridge) soft locks.
I miss the comments the most. Seeing why someone rated something a certain way.
> The euro is just another second tier currency backed by the european central bank which is extremely fragile.

Which currencies are as strong or are in a better position, and are backed by stronger economies than the euro?
That's why "attempted murder" is a thing.
You look for physics that explains multiple things. A new law to explain each specific phenomena and only that one is probably wrong. You want laws with several unrelated testable consequences.

Physics that boils down to “things are just the way we see them” isn’t much of an explanation. Physics that doesn’t change based on location, direction, scale, etc is important to look for.

Easy outs probably aren’t helpful.
Rust newbie that has used part of his summer to get into Rust.
Clarify me on some points.

Does that means than (after merged) I can use gcc to compile rust code right?
What are the advantages of this versus using the normal rustc compiler?

All the crate/project management would still be done with cargo?
It seems to be a tool very entwined with rust itself, so I wonder if someone uses rust without cargo?
Ask HN: Does SpaceX have a chance at making life multiplanetary?
Hey HN. There’s not much reliable / unbiased analysis of SpaceX’s mission statement of making humanity multiplanetary. So, what are the chances? I’ve been following spacex for a while and, ignoring all the elon shenanigans old and new, they do incredible stuff. Docking with the space station, humans on the space station, reusable rockets launching more than weekly… it’s insane. The progress they’ve made in the last 15 years is unheard of, only rivaled by the Apollo program.

But a self sustaining civilization on Mars? I’m skeptical. Yes, it’s physically possible. And spacex seems to be heading in the right direction. But the sheer difficulty of the problem I think is sometimes understated.

Elon’s rough estimates on what it’ll take to create a self sustaining civilization vary from interview to interview. One quote:

“Roughly 800 to 1000 per year. That’s about what’s needed over ten years to create the fleet to build a self-sustaining city on Mars”

More than 3 launches per day for 10 years? That’s where the impossibility of it all starts to seep in.

Many seemingly unsolvable problems also arise. Where does the money come from? How will we make the Martian surface habitable? Even if getting launch costs down to 2 million as Musk stated once is possible (hard to believe, Falcon 9 is nowhere near that today), the amount of peripheral costs (maintenance, staffing, logistics, training, the list goes on) is extraordinary.

I’m pretty sure they’ll get to mars in the next 10 years. And they even have a good shot and doing that multiple times. But based on the sheer amount of payload that needs to get to Mars, it seems like a mission that will exceed the lifetime of SpaceX.
I had 10,000sqft of belongings up until a few months ago. About 100 stainless tables, 50 office chairs, desks, maybe 100+ racks, 20 chillers, 5 rotovaps, maybe 1000 beakers, etc.

At this point I’m just giving away chromatography gear, HPLC chemicals, etc.

Point is I never want to own anything again. Just getting rid of all this stuff has taken almost a year. I don’t even like owning my home anymore.

I used to live with an admissions officer - they've got data (and instinct) for "You're probably not going to go here". The same is true for graduate admissions in my experience.
I think there is an inherent tension between the two ideas in that a lottery is, fundamentally, one profiting at the expense of (a consenting) many, while UBI guarantees a baseline state for many without particularly disadvantaging any one.

Some might consider UBI an implementation of John Rawls' Difference principle [0], that distributive inequalities should work to the advantage of the worst-off. Lotteries would support utilitarians' counterargument that one may very well prefer to roll the dice on his or her welfare, rather than accept a guaranteed, minimally satisfactory baseline.

The link you posted has wind lower than nuclear. Also both wind and solar developed immensely since 2014, nuclear not so much.
Mediocre or downright inactive workers are endemic to the workforce. Not everyone has a job they love or are passionate about, they just want to get paid for doing as little as possible then go home.

Even at employers who do pursue this sort of policy, getting a bad worker fired can be incredibly difficult in some places.

So no, a logical person who puts effort into their job would think this is standard practice, but it definitely isn't.
Yeah but the head of engineering doesn’t put out a memo like this if it’s just business as usual.

To me this is clearly indicative of the “turning up the heat.”
Perhaps it's not all about the money?

Lessons from the Grassroots and Reflections on Effective Altruism
Ulbricht had deeply incompetent counsel, at least based on what I've seen other lawyers argue.

Still … once you've decided that hiring people to kill other people is a valid path towards your libertarian utopia, my sympathy approaches zero.
The typeface on that page changes multiple times, looks like they may have done some editing.
People get way too attached to their companies. Employment is a mercenary relationship. Your company will terminate your relationship for a dollar. You should be willing to let your employer collapse for a dollar (assuming immediate new job start).
Having worked there on several different teams, I can confidently say slacker engineers are not common at fb. They have plenty of systems in place to keep people grinding.
France in the last year had its nuclear reactors only work at 60% due to outages and maintance, they were using the rest of the European grid to compensate.
Note, many companies are required by security policies (which are themselves required due to regulators or customers that demand it) to immediately cut off access to employees for all services before notice of termination.

That's a really rough thing in terms of a human relationship, but there's a lot of reasons why that is the case in practice.
>I reviewed summaries from NAEP for reading and math [0] and found that across the board, public schools appear to outperform "public charter" schools. I understand that the received wisdom is that public schools are failing student. Certainly there are many public schools that don't increase, or actively harm, outcomes for some or all of their students. But the premise here is that the public system is fundamentally broken, and it should be substantiated.

I wasn't trying to say every public school is bad and failing every student. Some schools are great, others are not. Some students can do great in bad schools and some students do bad in great schools.

I think if there is a bad school parents shouldn't be forced to keep their kids in that school. This isn't ideal, obviously every school should be great.

>The Hunt-Lee Commission recently released a final report for improving North Carolina Public Education Pre-K through University with 16 proposals[1], broadly categorized as "Build on what we have", "Invite and test new ideas", and "Implement proven solutions". Proposals such as these were what I had in mind when I originally wrote of incremental improvement.

I only skimmed the summary not the entire report, but those seem like good improvements. The problem I have is we don't really know the full long term costs and benefits to them.

I don't think these need to be exclusive though. There is no reason you can't allow your changes and allow charter schools. If the changes to the public schools improve things parents will send their kids back to the public schools when / if things improve.

Keeping kids in poor public schools because we may in the future have some fixes to the public school system isn't great and is just going to continue giving poor kids a poor education.

>Yes. The crappy school you mention should definitely be improved. But that's not what this bill does; this bill puts the burden on families to take their kids out of the crappy school and find a better one for them, leaving the crappy school in place along with the students of families who, for whatever reason, aren't able to move their own kids.

The problem is many crappy public schools aren't improving. Allowing parents to put their kids in a different school may be beneficial in the mean time. Parents who can't or won't do research can keep their kids in the crappy school. There would be less kids in the crappy schools which would be an improvement regardless.
I have a vague feeling that this is fighting the framework… what is the usecase here? Do you often have very-long-lived websocket connections that need to be preserved over upgrades?

The “k8s way” here is to have your pods quiesce on rollout (old pods marked “unready” and removed from the Service), so existing connections are not torn down, but new connections get sent to the up-level pods. Then when all connections have drained from the down-level pods you terminate them. This would break down if you need to have say 1-hour websockets, but aren’t willing to wait 1h+ to roll out a new release. Is this a common requirement?

Interested to hear examples of cases where extremely long-lived connections are worth a lot of engineering pain to achieve.
Soviet general believed that 'reliable electronic general computers in the the near future were impossible.'

Sounds as though somehow their intelligence was relying too much on the limitations of Zuse's Z4, and oblivious to ENIAC and Univac1.

Reminds me of the (ex-military) school superintendant who told me in the early 80s that he'd been to a conference in Arizona where the experts told him that the world wouldn't be needing many programmers in the future.

I think this as well: if my thoughts are already well represented in other comments, or in popular/common thought in general, what's the point of repeating it? And if it's not popular/common, it's a lot of effort to articulate in a way that has a good chance of not being dismissed, and could even be inflammatory.

The 10% people statistic is highly misleading because it includes people dying when putting solar panels on the roof. I mean then we should also include people dying in car accidents with nuclear power plant workers when they drive to work.

Are “the finest details” of an X-ray of your wrist finer than a screen grab from a camera phone video of your wrist?
This is true. Employment for a lifetime is a thing of another historical moment. Now it's all temporary, you don't work your whole life in a company nor they assure you a job until you retire. So, in a way, you have to understand that you are disposable to the corporate machinery.

Also, this is terrible, I know, I don't like it either but it's the current instituional arrangement where we live. Still, being layoff is a burden because it shock your core values and make you doubt of your true self and worth. Some people can't get pass it.
In Finland, the Greens actively and vocally opposed nuclear power at least up until recent years. They abdicated themselves from a coalition government in the early 2000's over that government's decision to grant a license for constructing an additional reactor at an existing plant. Rejecting nuclear power was definitely a visible part of their ideology. That part of the stereotype was actually true for a long time.

I don't know about Germany, but it is my impression that opposition to nuclear power was a common theme among the green movement in general for decades.

Obviously their agenda also included investing in renewables, as well as reducing consumption, but that wasn't going to happen fast enough, either for political or technological reasons.

I have voted for the local Greens several times over the last couple of decades even though I disagreed with and was frustrated with the views they held on nuclear power until recently.

I'm also unfortunately familiar with many of the common and overblown negative stereotypes towards the greens in general.

Insofar as nuclear power could have played a part in reducing our dependency on fossil fuels over the lasts couple of decades, though, I don't think it's unfair to say the greens in many countries did a lot to hinder that.
