The ‘liveaboards’ sailing away to a new life
One could use these same sails to reduce incoming solar radiation on earth by using the shadows they cast.

One could also use them to increase Earth's albedo by making clouds by heating large bodies of water.

I figure this could be a workable solution to control Earth's climate.
What other language takes this stance? (other than jai, which is not released)
That sounds unfortunate. I imagine it must've been time-critical, some side-effect of Docker being virtualised? I'd guess the hands-on approach was to avoid a full service disruption that a full shutdown would've caused.

That aside, shielded VM's are very rare, most providers have the ability to see inside VM's, issue commands in them.

Wouldn't the solar wind continuously impart some momentum on the field generating station, eventually pushing it out of L1? I don't doubt we could generate a good enough field, but the continuous station keeping might be tricky.

Those are official statistics, you’ll find them quoted on Wikipedia. Let me guess: they look weird to you, because your media only reports loses on the invading side.
Thanks for the insights.

Two questions

1) Bitcoin needs time to transfer. How did you approve the transaction? Instantly in hoping it will go through or had the costumer to wait?

2) The problem with new Stellar addresses is, that they need to be "funded". Your sending wallet has to recognize if this address is empty to run the right function (it's not a normal transaction). Most of the wallets can't do that. They wouldn't be able to transfer any funds. Have you had problems with that?
What does that mean? What service do you have that is disallowed? We are evaluating it and are finding the license page confusing. Yugabyte seems friendlier but it seems even less talked about.
You have answered your question. Elon Musk can have so many kids because he is a very rich and famous man who "gets around", can financially support many households, and does not feel the need to spend much time with his offspring.
Taliban was just an excuse, some as “Ukrainian Nazis” are to Rashists. If US really wanted to hunt terrorists, they would invade Saudi Arabia instead.

An efficient market doesn’t have price competition because MR=MC. Price above the margin and nothing sells. Price below and you’re losing money-and no one has money to lose for market power.

I realize I’m talking about markets people would have a difficult time looking for examples. This illustrates how wide spread concentration is. I’m not concerned with the N=M inflection points.

Wait, really? The name of the tool is something to think about "constantly"? Why?!

To me, seriously dismissing a tool because of the name is like failing an IQ test. It is a sign of someone that wants to be spoon-fed by any sort of shit that is offered by the big companies, as long as it is packaged in nice colors.
Mine works nearly perfect. But an ex-colleague of mine couldn't use any interface with fingerprint recognition. Not the laptop, nor the phone, nor the (presumaby fancier) door access systems. There must be something odd about his prints, but it isn't visible to the naked eye.

Not against this idea, but it seems like the real solution is better government service for the available public toilets for areas that don't already have it.

In my area there is a simple map layer that shows all of the available public bathrooms. Other than being a convenience for the public, it's partly an essential service for people with crohn's syndrome, IBS or other medical issues that lead to urgent toileting requirements.

This seems like an inexpensive way of better utilising what is already there - this is something that should be done in addition to any new toilet-services.
Random JSON Data Generator
I really love HardKernel's openness, but there are a few things I'd really like to see them work on:

* Build quality. I'd prefer a slightly higher BOM of it led to a significantly better experience. Everyone complains about the controls on Odroid Go devices, meanwhile the Chinese clones come and improve this and get a ton of sales that could have gone to HK. The 3-headed charging cable that comes with this device is another example. That thing is an abomination and likely a fire hazard too. They don't have to go full USB-PD, it could just follow the much simpler and cheaper-to-implement BC 1.2 standard. But instead they do their own wired thing, presumably for some minor cost savings.

* Their shipping / checkout process. First, you have to sign up for an account. Then it estimates some ridiculous amount for shipping (e.g. $60 shipping for a 10-oz $80 item.) Then the address form is in a different language (Korean?) despite the rest of the site being in English. It switches to English after you find the right control, but it's just confusing and the whole process almost certainly costs them some sales.

* Their forum members can be oddly aggressive sometimes, e.g. defending that crazy charging cable. One of the arguments boiled down to "it's safe to use if you're an electrical engineer". They also attack any mention of a competitors product. And the moderators support this behavior.

All of this combines to keep me from buying an Odroid so far, despite it being the kind of thing I'd really like to support.

That assumes $10b buys you similar amounts of terraforming on Earth. I suspect that's not the case... and the cost of a mistake is more significant.
This is why I do not support multiculturalism. This is contentious today for a number of reasons. Moreso because the research is so divided. There are plenty of studies which find in both directions. However, having lived in highly multicultural societies and more culturally homogenous societies, I firmly believe that it damages the social contract. When neighbours hold different and often incompatible values, not only are they less inclined to help each other as part of that unspoken social agreement, but they're more likely to vote for their own interests ahead of those of society at large.

A nation needs a unified direction with unified values. Eating different food is fine. Disagreeing about core tenets of society like free speech, equal rights, and law and justice, is not.

Nothing is ever feature complete, or alternatively, and image editor is feature complete when it reads my mind and spits out the perfect image without me doing any work. Anything short of that is room for improvement. Sure, there are a lot of people who don't need everything photoshop offers, but there are also a lot that do so people will continue paying for proprietary software for as long as that proprietary software gets the closest to spitting out the right image with the least effort.

EU countries are actually interconnected, but when it's night in Berlin it's also night in Paris, Lisbon, Madrid, Rome, ... so all EU p.v. do not produce, while the whole EU keep consuming.

So no, if you want a world that run on p.v. you need a global grid to harvest enough energy AND I doubt even if such monster can be done in a snap and work flawlessly that we can even harvest enough power at ground level.

Harvesting from orbit beside the fact it's so far mere theory have various major issues, not just in environmental terms (a catastrophic impact, probably higher than a nuclear war on ground) but in mere technical terms: without the atmospheric shield anything in orbit at a certain scale have a very short life span. Substitute them demand a very big quantity of fossils and an industrial capacity we do not have in the entire world so far.

Nuclear fusion on ground is the most promising tech but so far it's far from being ready, seen the actual status PERHAPS we can have it at an initial general availability around 2060-2070. Before we have just fission. Now if we invest in fission witch is far from cheap and simple to build on scale it's a nonsense also investing in p.v. witch is far less expensive but for what? Once a reactor is started you consume uranium anyway, producing energy from steam or not. p.v. might play a role in averaging the load, theoretically, that means "please all loads that can be run just when the Sun shine do run them only with it", but doing so for now is pure theory and at a nationwide grid scale it's already almost impossible. Beside that we have an enormous issue: climate change. Did you know how vulnerable are infra on ground?

We try the small reactor path NOT because they are safe (it's the opposite), not because they are cheap (again, it's the opposite), but because they are flexible: instead of depend on LARGE infra we can deploy small one so reducing the impact of any outage.

In the nearer future we have the nightmarish problem of replace oil and gas sparing them for the use we do not know how to do without them. In the mid-term future we need resiliency and nuclear fission, another nightmare. In a mid-long term we hope for fusion, but we do not really know and we anyway need to essentially rebuild the changing world coping with sea levels rises, floods, landslides etc that push people in altitude locally and world-scale migration in general. That's the actual sore reality for what we can see directly and read from so many sources with contrasting interest to being able to call them very likely true.
The real question is that it is an incident that one interest group managed to pass the law that is against interests of most people.

I wholeheartedly disagree with the sentiment in your comment. Just because you, or a certain group of people don't like it, doesn't mean it's a bad tool. It may not serve for everyone, but for those for which it does, it works, and it does so well. Also, acting like photoshop is the be-all end-all of photo editing pushes the idea that you must be just like photoshop to even compete, which is actively harmful as it prevents people from innovating, and puts pressure on anyone thinking of even attempting such a daunting task.

Furthermore, even if I were to agree, your argument completely falls apart with the existence of Krita. Writing software like this is hard and time-consuming, which is the primary reason we haven't seen more projects of this scale, as there's been various smaller-scale tools over the years, like Pinta.

I read the article, but it didn't answer some questions I had.

Did the lines used in the mapping have defined lengths, and was it accounted for that the subjects could have given a wider berth for initial numbers before realizing they were running out of space?

How close was each result to true logarithmic space?

I am inclined to believe the conclusion because many of our senses (and thoughts themselves) are rooted in logarithmic mappings, such as a higher sensitivity to lower frequency sounds and light conditions, logarithmic pain tolerance, adaptation rates, etc. but I would love to have more information about the results.
Thanks, I did see them. Splits are not interesting to me. Not yet anyway.

Tell HN: Most DisplayPort cables aren't sold with correct information
In every DisplayPort (DP) cable I've seen on Amazon and many other retailers, the main difference between cables is shown as the version of the DP specification that they support.

Unfortunately, that's not what makes a DP cable different from its peers. Every DP cable supports every version of the spec! 1.1 to 1.4, they all support the same DP spec. The difference is in the bandwidth they support: RBR, HBR, HBR2, HBR3, and UHBR 10 (and above). This then translates to the resolution and refresh rate that the cable can support.

The differences are listed here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DisplayPort#Cable_bandwidth_an...

RBR (Reduced Bit Rate) 6.48 Gbit/s
HBR (High Bit Rate) 10.80 Gbit/s
HBR2 (High Bit Rate 2) 21.60 Gbit/s
HBR3 (High Bit Rate 3) 32.40 Gbit/s
UHBR 10 (Ultra High Bit Rate 10) 40.00 Gbit/s

The Wikipedia page also has tables that show what those bandwidths are capable of with regards to resolution+refresh rate: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DisplayPort#Refresh_frequency_...

If you want 4K @ 60Hz you need a HBR2 cable. For 4K @ 144Hz you need UHBR 10.

Some retailers are better at telling you what bandwidth their cables support, such as Startech which does list the BR: https://www.startech.com/en-us/search?search_term=HBR3

Monoprice doesn't show any search results for HBR3: https://www.monoprice.com/search/index?keyword=HBR3&didyoume...

Cable Matters does have some results, but doesn't show the bitrate in the product title: https://www.cablematters.com/search.aspx?PageSize=20&PageNum...

Amazon shows results for HBR3 but so many customer reviews tell of counterfeit cables and straight up lying in descriptions.

If you know of any better retailers that sell UHBR 10 or above cables, please let me know in the comments! I hope this information is useful to someone and saves you some time and pain trying different cables.
