There's also an anime way less popular than Fate simply named "Gilgamesh" from 2003. I barely remember the plot after watching it a long time ago, but I do remember that some several years before the events take place an event called "Twin X" knocked out all advanced electronics and prevents them from working. One moment that most stuck with me was when a character called "The Countess" later on reveals she has a massive skyscraper of vacuum tubes, that is able to function as a primitive supercomputer.

The eponymous Gilgamesh of this one is actually split into 10 relatively forgettable characters, and the head researcher of their faction is called Enkidu or something like that. And their faction wants to wipe out most of the human race in some kind of mystical extinction event, to give rise to a superior humanity. It's a relatively common motive for the bad guys in Japanese media, I recall hearing the big bad gesticulate wildly about doing the same thing when I shelled out enough 100 yen coins with a buddy to clear the story of the "House of the Dead" on an arcade machine.

Hikaru analyzed some of Niemann’s games and at certain points he was very surprised by the move, but said that if he was told that there was a strong winning move in that position he would have found the move easily.

Kind of similar to what Magnus said that he wouldn’t even need the move, just a hint like “strong winning move on the board” would be enough for him to find the winning line because he wouldn’t have to look at defensive or passive moves.

> Or does the speed impact the force of the warhead?

Absolutely. The energy density of TNT is 4.11 MJ/kg. An object traveling at 2.5 km/s has a kinetic energy (mv^2/2) of 3.12 MJ/kg. If we consider a simple rule of 3 for a cruise missile (1/3 the warhead, 1/3 the fuel, 1/3 the rest of the missile), then the kinetic energy of the warhead and the empty vehicle will be 50% more than the energy of the explosive (if not more). So, even if the warhead is only one fifth of the warhead of a subsonic missile, the total energy delivered on target is one half.
> I find that much more incoherent. It's absolutely possible to believe that things should be allowed without a moral component.

That’s a bit odd on account of claiming that something is morally neutral is clearly a moral assertion.

That being said, can you imagine why perhaps sex might have greater moral significance than canoe-making?

> Many people who use the word "good" to describe porn and sex work are describing it in the beneficial sense, not the moral sense.

That’s fascinatingly novel. Can you explain the difference or at least distinction between a “moral” “good” and a “beneficial” “good?”

Incidentally, talk of “beneficial” “good” makes me think of the classic Windows 2000 tagline: “New NT Technology.”
The fault is to some degree the design of the road.

It's fine to have highways that convey people in cars quickly from one place to another at high speed. But these should have few exits, and pedestrians and cyclists should not be anywhere near them.

Streets in cities should be slow and safe for all road users.

Here's an article about a known deadly street. There's been a push to redesign it to be safer, but some people place a higher value on the convenience of carrying more car traffic.

But that's not such a challenge. Nuclear power plants don't release atmospheric pollution. As for the radiological material they release, that is generally Tritium; that's in minute quantities, and they have experience dealing with the NRC in this regard.
Personally I'd really like to be a part of less hierarchical, flatter, more democratic organizations with more organic means of steering. Even amid systems like coops, there's usually some kind of recognizable body of power, rather than having control fully dispersed. Collecting, assessing, distilling, resyndicating,& consuming meaning isnt something we can do individually right now (but holy shit am I ever interested in trying to build better tools to start to do these sorts of things).

If you're in a 500 person company, how do 500 people provide feedback? How do you assess performance? There just has to be some kind of corporate management chart, of who reports to who. Getting the right information going up and down the chain, trying to work through mis-understandings across factions or up & down, is intensely hard work. Running large scale organizations is just hard.

It's enormously sad how little experimentation & exploration there has been of how else we might try to organize things, other than tight lines of narrow authority. Employees are almost always tighly pegged into little holes, there's huge dissonance between the on-the-ground view of how things are versus what the corporate body seems to see or recognize, there's enormous blindness to who is performing what tasks at what level. We've tried so little.

But I still have a hard time imagining. I see why we have what we have. Middle management exists because one person can only fan-out to adequately manage so many other people. Corporations live and die by how effective that deeply nesting management is, live and die by how well they can funnel up the situation accurately (always ever polluted by management's own pressure to spin the situation), and how well they can manage down (itself a function of whether or not the company appears to be run by real humans getting the obvious messages or delusional aliens from another planet). Management is so hard. I have huge respect especially in hybrid world for middle management, who have to be cyphers in both directions. It's a hard job.
Again, from Taubes’ own webpage: “In Good Calories, Bad Calories, Taubes tries to bury the idea that a low-fat diet promotes weight loss and better health. Obesity is caused, he argues, not by the quantity of calories you eat but by the quality. Carbohydrates, particularly refined ones like white bread and pasta, raise insulin levels, promoting the storage of fat.”

The studies he acquired funding for came to conclusions contrary to this very claim.

This is trivial. If you interview a person for Junior SW Engineer, and after a round of interviews decide that they have the expertise to be your DevOps lead engineer, just hire them as DevOps lead. The law doesn't stipulate which for which roles you can/cannot hire a person, only that you must report their compensation and the role they ultimately do. (Similarly, when they change jobs in the company, that would impact your reporting going forward.)

Yes, you can definitely use this in your Bitbucket Pipelines. Our CLI is a drop in replacement for `docker build`. So in your pipeline you would still login to your registry with `docker login` but then you can use `depot build` with all of the same options you were using before and the build can be routed to our remote builders.

So your pipeline would effectively look like this.

image: node:10.15.0
pipelines:
default:
- step:
script:
- curl https://depot.dev/install-cli.sh | DEPOT_INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/bin sh
- npm install
- npm test
- docker login -u $DOCKER_HUB_USER -p $DOCKER_HUB_PASSWORD
- depot build -t <my.container.registry.io>/<my_app>:<my_tag> . --push --project <DEPOT_PROJECT_ID> --token <DEPOT_PROJECT_TOKEN>
services:
- docker

Here I have used `--token` for passing in a project token to authenticate the build with your project in Depot. This can also be passed as an environment variable, `DEPOT_TOKEN`.

Edit: Formatting. Also thank you for pointing out this is an integration we are missing in our docs. We will get that added!

Are these salary ranges to be announced when hiring or post hoc?

In the former case, it seems like this would effectively cap salaries to the announced range. I’m generally quite amenable to the idea that American workers are not sufficiently protected, but I don’t understand how this doesn’t remove negotiating power, at least in the upper quartile of employees at a given firm.

Edit: confused by the downvote. Maybe point out what I’m missing?

the personal account of the president, an important and not pedantic distinction because as a citizen he has no more rights than anyone else, despite having a lot of might.

Exactly this. Many top games have one or two critical moments where a player makes a blunder or even just a small mistake. Often this is not picked up on, but if a top player is made aware this has happened, they can quickly find it and punish it.
>IMHO giving a prompt to generate image is amazing but isn't a product because you can't actually produce useful stuff(it's great as an exploration tool).

I'm not sure who they planned to market this to but I can think of a few, not inherently lucrative to my knowledge, products here. Fictional literature illustrations such as for books seems like a great market in my mind, you can literally turn authors words into depictions without a graphic artist. I wouldn't be surprised if you could create graphic novels this way as well. Propoganda also seems like a market but the bar seems to have been lowered to memes.

Other than that, I struggled to think of applications you could make money from. Police sketches? Eh I doubt it would work well but maybe.

This project is a result of my work on a separate project, XCiteDB, which is a NoSQL database for XML and JSON documents.

After working for some time on developing the query language for XCiteDB, I thought: "Hey, I think ~Q is really cool and could be useful even as a separate tool/library that allows running it directly on JSON files". And this is how I got to release it as a stand-alone open-source project.

Yes, there are zillions of other query languages for JSON, and many other tools. But ~Q's approach is different. One of the most common complaints I see about other query languages such as `jq` is that it could be hard to write queries that do exactly what you want it to do. By having a template-based approach where the structure of the query corresponds to the structure of the result, it is easier to understand what each query does and how it transforms/extracts information from JSON files.

I hope HN readers would find this useful, and would be happy to answer any questions.

> You're talking of the Giza ones I assume, which were indeed surprisingly text-free. Might have been a 5th dynasty "invention"?

Exactly. Think of the purpose the inscriptions inside a tomb. Nobody is going to see them, so why bother? The Pyramid Texts mark the beginning of an Egyptian magical tradition where writings and images can help the deceased in the afterlife. This tradition apparently started with Unas in the 5th dynasty and developed into the Coffin Texts, Book of the Dead scrolls, and finally hypocephali at the very end of Pharaonic Egypt.

With Khufu (4th Dynasty, Great Pyramid), the inscriptions are in his mortuary temple right outside the pyramid because that's where people would actually visit, not the interior of the sealed pyramid.

The "we" part if what you said is the tricky part. Society can be different depending on geography (that's why states exist in a way) and it is not possible to be informed on every issue when voting (if at all voting).

In my opinion, if you dig deeper the root cause that applies to america and most other counties is the lack of hostility to the perverters of justice. That is to say, those entrusted with justice either receive some or no punishment when they act in contradiction with their role as enforcers and administrators of justice. In some places a judge, prison warden or police officer who broke the law may not be held accountable and in others may receive the same punishment as anyone else. But in my opinion their punishment should harsher than the harsher punishment a regular person would have recieved. They are not equal to the rest of us because they act on behalf of the government in an official capacity not in their capacity as individuals. Grand juries and prosecutorial discretion should not apply to them, they should be indicted without any due process (the trial is their only due process). So, really, to dig even deeper it is how we see the role of those who have authority over us in the name of justice and peace that is the problem. Their conduct must be beyond reproach. We debate if shooting a person should get a cop fires but really even using a foul language should get them fired or adultery, domestic abuse and other things that reflect on their bad character.

But the who would do these jobs right? Well people should do jobs primarily because of compensation so pay them a crapton of money and so long as they meet countrywide standards of behavior I see no problem in using federal money to subsidize their pay. Carrrot ($$$) and stick (harshest punishments).

Seeing them as heroes out there in the fight against evil is what prevents this from happening. If we instead see them as well paid workers that do their job well because they get well things might change.
