> And we also know that there are no benefits for a Mars colony

You seem to assume that, I disagree, to quote you: "would be very beneficial in terms of resources, generated taxes, and geopolitical power."

> It would be a giant resource sink

So were english colonies in america at first.

> probably never able to sustain itself without constant help from earth

Again, your assumption, what if you're wrong?, check out 'The Expanse' for what I think we might achieve long term.

> I know we successfully tested a method that could, with further refinement and development, have a fighting chance at deflecting one.

So your answer is no, we cannot right now or near future. You also didn't answer if we can even reliably detect such a threat...

> Use for useful projects regarding space exploration and defending Earth against catastrophes? Gladly.

Sure, let's spend resources on that too. Doesn't seem like we are though, perhaps we might need some inspiration in order to get it?, something like some mars colonies might do?

Failing sounds like its a requirement for them to do it, but this is not true. If you send them just a token, then how would they associate it with the application? Like I said, in another flow where you send your client secret and a code to exchange for the token, they need to verify it and it would be a failure on their part if they didn't.
Sure, that is how these things evolve.

For the historians that like to trace the roots of things the test would be whether this is a lobby and cause that was bought into being by its star face, or did it kick around for a few years before being bought to the attention of a star by their PR people and agents.

> What evidence is there in this article to suggest climate change

The article is not about climate change, it's about a drought. It doesn't try to present evidence for climate change.

> The weather has always changed

The plural of weather is not climate. Weather is an emergent effect of the climate. I don't have a collection of references to dump on you to demonstrate climate change because it's the scientific consensus, even within the United States. At this point, if you're scientifically literate enough to be on HN, you're scientifically literate enough to look up scientific explanations for why your intuitions and concerns about climate change maybe not being a thing after all are wrong. I'm not going to spend my finite lifetime trying to argue this with a person on the Internet, especially someone who might be religiously motivated.

Unrelated, but what's the goal of obfuscating obviously known "bad" words ?
It's only unconditional jumps that might have NOPs following them.

For conditional jumps (which are pretty common), the extra instructions in the packet will be executed whenever the branch isn't taken.

And instruction scheduling can actually do some optimisation here. If you have a loop with an unconditional jump at the end and an unaligned target, you can do partial loop unrolling, for example:

With [xxx, inst_1, inst_2], [inst3]...(loop body) ...[jmp to inst_1, nop, nop], you can repack the final jump packet as [inst_1, inst_2, jump to inst_3]

This partial loop unrolling actually is much better for performance than not wasting I-cache as it has reduces the number of instruction decoder packets per iteration by one. Compilers will implement this anyway, even if you do support mid-packet jump targets.

Finally, compilers already tend to put nops after jumps and returns on current ISAs, because they want certain jump targets (function entry points, jump table entries) to be aligned to cache lines.

On the other hand electronic versions can be copied over and over. If you think about it, we have preserved many ancient text that have been copied again and again, like biblical texts, greek philosophers, etc. Even though the originals are long gone. And those were copied by hand.

I think that copying over on new media will be much safer, particularly as the cost of storage is ever cheaper, and a cheap consumer drive today can store many times all the books that have been written in the world to date in text format.

I've had the same thing happened to me, were the interviewer was asking arbitrary and sometimes very general questions without much care to discuss anything, which looked quite strange to me. He didn't want to be there, that was my impression.

I believe the reason is that he/they don't really want to hire, they just have to do the interview for some reason. It's this kind of company were the job ad stays up for like 6 months straight, it becomes obvious at some point that they don't want to hire anyone.

It’s interesting how open source kind of short-circuits a lot of this; you can’t “acquire” it all because you already have it all. You can acquire experience in a lot of tools, but that’s actually acquiring practical knowledge, not just acquisition of things as things.
Usually, for the statutory thing, you do have to be able to prove the counterparty received the communication, so registered mail is often the best way, because someone has actually signed for it at that point.

Speed Up Your Queries with Neo4j's New Parallel Runtime
Same here.

I actually enjoy watching people boarding planes, I find that relaxing. The trick is to only have a backpack and nothing else on you: from the moment you're not relying on getting overhead space, you can completely skip the boarding stress, stay seated while everyone is stressing out and walk into the plane last.

I do recognize that many passengers have financial difficulties and this only works if you can afford a registered luggage.

There is also this frenzy about feeling the need to leave the airport at flash speed. I don't mind waiting a few minutes at the belt, it usually gives me time to reply to a few emails and make 1 or 2 calls. Again, this assumes you're not flying the last plane of the day, which is often cheaper, but delays May expose you to missing a public transport connection.

The author states: "the risk of dying from the screening exam was 1/660"

And demonstrates with: "This involves a radiation dose of about 30 milli-Sieverts. The usual rule of thumb is that one extra Sievert = 5% higher risk of dying from cancer, so a 30 mS dose increases death risk about one part in 660."

Sorry but there is a flaw here: calculation seems good but conclusion is completely wrong.

Calculation: increased risk ratio of cancer-related death for 30mS = 1.05^0.03S = 1.001465... So +0.15% = +0.0015 = around +1/660 (with less rounding +1/682)... fine!

Conclusion: this is not your risk of dying, but the increase of your risk of dying. If it was X%, the exam brings your risk at X% x 1.0015

X depends on the medicine quality in your country, your access to it, your health, your exposure to cancer-triggers (pollution, tobacco, food...), your DNA, your gender...

Let's state a depressing 1%, then the screening exam brings you to 1.0015%, or +0.0015% additional risk due to the screening exam = 0.000015 = rounded 1/67000. So your chance of dying from an exam-related cancer is absolutely not 1/660.

Please correct me if I did it wrong...
Part of the power distribution question is answered, in a way that gives even more concerns, though. A single DC distribution without redundant PSUs? What if one of the servers trips a fuse?

By the way, the list of questions would go on. At least over here, DCs offer different rack footprints. They don't even list their footprint.

But most importantly: The TFM doesn't say "There is an experienced network engineer in the box that you will own and that will do the maintenance". Unless this is provided, this will blow up.

Again: I can imagine that they find a hand full of managers buying into this. Up until the date the first few of their racks have burned down a DC, or got hacked and all customer data stolen.

Come on, this is hacker news. Everybody here should know that nobody so far has found a way (not even via AI) to replace the competences many of us here have. Again, I understand that management would love to get rid of those expensive and annoying nerds, but the ACTUAL REALITY is: An unmaintened rack in a DC will go down in flames, and management people will be in tears.

So, let's just be realistic: Oxide is simply a terrible idea that will blow up. But I congratulate them for VCs falling for this.

Now, let's find a VC that is funding someone doing an IPMI system that is not shit, does not have access to all data of the server, and does not get hacked within 5 minutes after deploying it. That would address an ACTUAL need.

> " ... Romania (22) Scotland (41) Spain (15) FR Yugoslavia (8) "

Even on that very line you've got another entity that's not an ISO country and does not have its own ccTLD, so clearly having a FIFA World Cup team is not quite the same thing as being a sovereign state.

> So obviously "international community" is a very vague term.

International recognition for a country is a spectrum rather than a binary, sure.

> If we were talking about anything material, like who owns an embassy building in e.g. London I'd see your point, but insisting that Yugoslavia not use a .yu domain because it was assigned to another Yugoslavia that received the name three years before it dissolved sounds like not solving problems but having an axe to grind.

A top-level domain is valuable and culturally important in the same way as an embassy building. If you want to argue that states that refused to recognise "FR Yugoslavia" as the successor state of Yugoslavia and allow it to hold the UN seat, government property, etc. were petty and vindictive - well, maybe they were, politics is often petty and vindictive (although I would note that what was finally agreed in 2004 was that Yugoslavia had divided into five equal successors, none of which had a special claim on its embassy buildings, domain names or anything else).

Deferring to the politically recognised succession seems like the best way to insulate administration of the Internet from dealing with those disputes directly. Maintaining a separate/parallel system for listing countries and their names/abbreviations, as FIFA does, does not seem like it would be a productive use of the internet community's resources, nor would it be likely to make the disputes that would inevitably arise any less petty or vindictive.

That sounds perfectly reasonable if the split between crafting and playing is somewhere near the middle. However, in the case that they hardly ever actually engage in a game, I'd maintain that their hobby is not 'wargaming' and is actually model making.
> no further back than the robber barons

The fact that you have to dig back to the 19th century speaks volumes.

And if you knew your history, you'd know that, for example in the case of Standard Oil competition and free market already broke their monopoly before any government intervention.

And there are many other closer examples where free markets brought wealth and prosperity together with competition and innovation while turning away from them only brought poverty and authocracy.

My favorite example I actually lived through was the incredible success story of Eastern Europe after getting rid of communism. From cold and hunger to high-rises, iPhones, luxury cars and city breaks. All thanks to a minimally regulated free market.

Driverless taxies could actually be an integral part of a good public transit system.

Think about it as last-mile public transit. Shared driverless taxies (or call them dynamically-scheduled self-driving mini-buses) that take groups of people from pick up points within a few min walk of their homes to transit hubs with trains or express busses.

The last-mile is always a massive weak point for public transit outside of high-density areas. Such a system could entirely replace the scheduled bus routes that slowly meander though low and medium density housing areas (or don't even exist), while also providing much better transit times.

If the system is reliable and priced correctly, it could drive public transit adoption in areas where it currently struggles, and encourage many people in those areas to get rid of their car.

The other advantage of driverless car technology for public transit is extending service to night-time hours. Because that's a common short fall of current system. You could even switch your fleet of self driving taxies from doing the last mile during peek hours to running ad-hoc long distance routes during the night, where they might be cheaper than running a full train.
