No... lattice-boltzmann discritizes the navier stokes equations. This is just a cellular automaton. It uses a small number of rules in order to determine the change of every cell. You can of course conceptualize an eulerian solver of navier stokes as a cellular automata... but this system simply uses a very small set of simple rules to get something that looks right.
That's exactly the kind of thing I was imagining, thanks! And from 2010 no less!

When you are a platform as big as them, you can only do this so much before it crosses a line into antitrust.

Biden's Administration just hired a ton of anti-trust lawyers.

Unfortunately its a sad fact that the people making these decisions are the people who don't have the natural sense to not do this in the first place for the simple reason that the behavior drives negative sentiment and outcomes in the long run for little if any net benefit.

They need to make Executives personally liable for stuff like this, otherwise they won't learn that they can't get away (it costs them something) as opposed to a business as usual slap on the wrist with the behavior baked into sales.

So I've become interested enough to try to figure out how bad would it be today.

Apparently the electrical fires were from GIE (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geomagnetically_induced_curren... ), which are "measured in V/km".. but how big were they?

After some searching I found this PDF presentation: "Geomagnetic Storms
and the US Power Grid" https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/sites/default/files/images/u33/fin... , which says: "GIC are Quasi DC currents" and "Moderate Storm - Electric Field at Earth’s Surface 1-5 V/km / Largest recorded 20 V/km" and

Let's assume 10x worse than largest recorded, 200 V / km.. not sure if this is physically possible but probably a worst case.

A high-voltage transmission lines would be in danger, as presentation said. Not only because of overvoltage, but also because this is injecting DC into lines designed for AC only.

A 10 km old-style telephone or telegraph line would get 2000 volt on it... this would definitely burn the equipment or set it on fire.

What about my house? The AC comes in from nearest distribution transformer ("pole pig"). The nominal output is 110V RMS (155V peak), and let's say there is ~0.6 miles (1 km) from it to my house. This will be 355V peak arriving, equivalent to 251V RMS. My appliances and lights (which were turned on) are likely gone... but many computers might survive, as modern power supplies are often rated "90-240V" for european usage (and they don't care about AC/DC mix either). And of course if you had any surge protectors in your extension cords, they'd protect your devices -- they were designed exactly for situations like those.

What about my local network? There are less then 100 meters of distance, so 20V induced voltage.. and common Ethernet is rated for 2000V, so this is going to be fine.

What about USB cords, low-voltage power cords, etc...? Well, those are shielded / have two wires right next to each other, so they would normally be unaffected. But let's say you had a bad ground connector or incompletely plugged in device, so you have a loop. In this case, 2 meter (6ft) cable would have 0.4 volts. That's within tolerances of most ICs, they'd be fine.

What about unplugged device? Your 18" laptop will develop 0.08 volts in the worst case. Most of the modern ICs run in 0-1V range, so they won't burn up (but might have some glitches if device is working). Your antennas (WIFI and 3G) would also develop extremely low voltage so they would be fine as well.

TL/DR: country-wide systems (power grid, old telegraph) is in trouble. City-wide might or might not survive. Anything smaller than a house is fine. If you are worried about second Carrington, get water, food and generator, and get some surge protectors.

The only remotely graphic things in it are related to animals being killed and nature shows on PBS are more graphic, especially when you consider the terrible video quality of Faces of Death. I watched Faces of Death when I was around 9 in the late 80s, we spent most of the time laughing about how bad and fake it was, it was not even good enough to fool 9 year olds in the 80s. The only actual human deaths they shown are taken from broadcast news footage where you don't actually see anything and the only reason you know someone died is because they tell you, things like police shooting at a house.

The Friend did not proclaim genderlessness once, as you claim here. The Friend did not answer to the name you use so obtusely here, ever after a "rebirth." That historians such as Susan Juster (the publication ca. 2000) would disrespect the Friend's wishes as you do here, insisting on a name and gender that had been disavowed, is little surprise. There is a long history of erasure of LGBT identities, which Juster continues. However, she makes an effort towards an honest history, at least, in representing what the Friend wanted despite the disrespect she pays. You don't even try that hard, because the narrative doesn't fit your agenda. It wasn't until 2015 that another historian revisited Public Universal Friend and found the language that had previously been used to be discordant with the content of that same history. Language evolves, and Public Universal Friend was a frontrunner of this particular linguistic evolution: we now have words to describe people who do not find a place within the gender binary. And so, Wikipedia reflects the history of that evolution in its own edit history. Thank you for sharing that, anyway.
It's important to distinguish between the Breaking2/INEOS pacing (with a rotating team of pacemakers that drop in and out of the race) and the pacing that has been allowed in every world record (pacemakers that start with the field, but may drop out, as does Sowinski in his own pacing).

In fact Kipchoge's legal world record (the 2:01:09, not the 1:59) had pacemakers for the first 25km (of 42.2).

It may be simply that HN commenters, taken in the large, far less frequently have anything nearly so novel or worthwhile to say as the mean participant here believes himself able to contribute. This alone strikes me as sufficient reason both for referrer redirects as a mild but not ineffective deterrent, and also for the general - and generally low - opinion of this site which is held in many other quarters.

Prior experience strongly suggests your next move, or someone's, will be to ask why I stay here myself, if I have such a low opinion of the place. The question is pointless, and has two answers. One is for the opportunity to indulge my own love for needless pettifogging and disputation, a flaw in my character I have never managed fully to extirpate. The other is that once in a blue moon, at a rate slightly in excess of that I've seen most other places, someone here does actually say something worth taking seriously. Perhaps this thread will surprise me in that regard.

Yeah you do, but you compartmentalize that with your orchestration (hence strong ops). With HashiCorp Nomad for example you might setup a parameterized job. When Nomad receives a job to do X for customer Y, it allocates a container with a short lived token. Nomad is the system with the longer living token that lets it generate short lived tokens for short lived workloads, that are themselves containerized to add a layer of security for a compromise. And so on.

Abstract that a little bit; the system that generates the short lived token ideally would not be the same as the system that is using it

In an amateur context, I've paced about a half dozen races, half marathon and marathon distance. I've also served as a pacer for runners in the second half of a 100 mile race a couple times.

The purpose of a pacer for amateur runners is to set a consistent pace and provide encouragement to runners who may be running their first race at that distance. Or maybe someone trying to set a new PR. Since most courses are not flat, I actually try to run even effort, and explain that is the plan to the runners I'm pacing. So we slow down on the uphills and speed up a bit on the downhills.

Yes, runners can use a variety of electronic devices (GPS watches, heart rate monitors, accelerometers on your shoe) to try to set their own pace but none of these are perfect. They also require constant attention. And they don't provide moral support.

Even though I'm a fairly experienced runner (25+ marathons), I'll join a pace group myself when running a new course sometimes. A marathon can be mentally exhausting and it's sort of like being able to run on cruise control if you can just fall in next to someone else and rely on them to set pace.

Running in a pack is also just easier, not even considering the wind breaking potential depending upon speed and prevailing breeze.

On the 100 mile races, runners may have been on their feet for 12+ hours by the midway point and are starting to run into the night. Pacing those runners is really just about moral support and encouragement. Typically they are allowed to pickup a pacer after the 50 mile mark and I'll keep a single runner company for say a 12.5 mile lap and then they can switch to another fresh pacer. So they may get the company of 3-4 pacers in the second half of the race.

Another example is that large marathons have guide runners to help those who need assistance. Visually impaired runners. Maybe runners with prosthetics who are concerned about being tripped. Etc. I've never been a guide runner but I'd like to some day.

> trends in "cancel culture" and just generally shaming people for saying something not supported by whatever is the current "woke" / "social justice" viewpoint du jour are a relatively recent phenomenon

What happened to bands/athletes who spoke out against American wars in the past? What happened to atheists for the last few decades/centuries? Or women who were accused of being witches? What happened to people who thought that women could participate in professional life? How about people who thought that it was ok to be gay or love someone outside of your race? How about people who thought that native peoples we not savages or subhuman?

To think this is a anything new or has anything to do with "wokeness" (whatever the hell that means) is to take an extremely short-sighted view of the world.

> At least in my experience, conversations online were more open 10 years ago than they are today.

I'd argue the exact opposite. 10 years ago there were a lot less people online. And those who were online engaged in more niche and closed off platforms/forums. It's only been in the last 10 years that general discussions with huge numbers of people from all around the world on any and every topic have been combined into a singular feeds on a small number of platforms.
Not exactly. It's true that they are (mostly) not found in the same block as other (alphabetic, numeric, punctuation etc.) characters. But there is no single emoji block, which makes it hard to write regular expressions to search for emoji, unless you are using a regex language that allows reference to Unicode properties (like Perl, or the Python3 regex library, not to be confused with the more commonly used re library).
This is an objective fact. The entire premise of the phrase is to bait people, the threads where this campaign was devised are archived and it's well known that the intended goal of the trolls was to get people to object to the phrase:

> The phrase “It’s Okay To Be White” is a slogan popularized in late 2017 as a trolling campaign by members of the controversial discussion forum 4chan. The original idea behind the campaign was to choose an ostensibly innocuous and inoffensive slogan, put that slogan on fliers bereft of any other words or imagery, then place the fliers in public locations. Originators assumed that “liberals” would react negatively to such fliers and condemn them or take them down, thus “proving” that liberals did not even think it was “okay" to be white.

This isn't speculation, we know for a fact that the goal was to get people to react like the above commenter.

I don't understand much Arabic, but I know the alphabet almost as well as the Latin alphabet. If you see something in Latin along the lines of "svciwbc oaoøoaaö", and claims to be Gaelic or whatever, you'll know that something is off - the consonants and vowels just don't work that way.

It won't fool the people who can speak the language, but I think the website is just designed to educate people so that it doesn't look like complete nonsense.

Facebook is surprisingly an offender here. It's common to mix both Arabic and Latin, say, begin with بسم الله and then write the text, sometimes in english, and it'll throw off the alignment of the text completely. You get the Latin words right aligned or the Arabic one left aligned.

Edit: I'm actually quite surprised how well HN handles this.

I suspect that people used to just have smaller, more homogeneous social groups. So saying something terrible wasn’t an issue because all of one’s associates either engaged in the same behavior or considered it too risky to speak up.

As for social justice being a recent phenomenon, it isn’t. It being on the web is, but the web is still relatively young and it finally became intertwined with our offline selves that your online behavior is just your behavior. And social consequences for that behavior can be executed online.
The BANAL viruses collected in Laos are closer than RaTG13. No published virus is close enough that SARS-CoV-2 could readily be derived from it in the lab, though some people have speculated about pathways via accelerated evolution during serial passaging.

I believe the most likely research-related origin involves an unpublished virus. I don't think that's implausible; the WIV was also sampling in Laos, and no research group in the world has published literally everything they're currently working on. Even with no attempt at secrecy, it takes time to write stuff up. It's also possible that SARS-CoV-2 is a naturally-evolved virus collected and leaked by the WIV before they were able to sequence it.

As to the grandparent's final question, I'm not aware of any serious claim that Pfizer had anything to do with this. There was a claim that Moderna was somehow involved, based on a genetic sequence that appears both in SARS-CoV-2 and in a pre-pandemic Moderna patent; but that sequence appears in other previously-known organisms too.

I really like this idea. Just have a standard set of strings covering all edge cases (even the sprawling labyrinth that is bidi) with a visual reference that shows how the correct rendering of each string would look like. Each entry would also have a description of the problem and suggested solutions.

Unlike the solutions in OP, this one is pragmatic and is actually actionable for the vast majority developers. I'm kinda surprised that something like this doesn't already exist given the substantial amount of material and visual examples already available that covers the bidi algorithm.

> It is poisonous to society and results in real people getting killed for real.

On the contrary, Twitter is full of people claiming this or that speech is getting people killed, with absolutely no evidence.

There are a growing number of people who truly and deeply believe exposure to opinions they disagree with, or even empirical data, is "violence" against them or even "genocide".

Making these claims is a great strategy for forcibly silencing anyone who disagrees with you.
