I don't know, do you know how far it can carry them?

It can carry roofs of trailer homes over miles after ripping them off, I believe it can carry wind turbine blade multiple miles.

Have you never heard of massive schools of fish, including sharks, being sucked up and carried miles away onto land?

I think you underestimate the power of a hurricane.

Regardless, it's a reasonable concern to have, is it not?

It should be proven to be safe, not the other way around.

Don't assume something isn't hazardous.

I'm not even sure why they need wifi 6. According to the specs page, the chipset supports wifi 5 2x2 80 mhz, which translates to a theoretical speed of 866.7 Mb/s. Even if we halve or third the speed for "real life" speeds, that's plenty enough for whatever can be done on a lowend phone. Even if you're downloading netflix videos (to watch later), you'll probably be bottlenecked by the slow eMMC storage.

Meanwhile 5G is significantly faster than LTE, probably due to better spectral efficiency as well as being less congested (less 5G devices around). In congested areas I'd only get 10-20Mb/s on LTE but 200+ Mb/s on 5G. That's far more useful than getting 866.7Mb/s vs 1021 Mb/s over wifi.

Jeez, what an ignorant question to ask random people…
Poland was occupied by Germany during WWII. The people still considered themselves Poles during this time, and the only reason there wasn't a 'Poland' was because of military strength, so it seems silly to say that early 1939 Poland and late 1944 Poland are different countries because of lack of continuity. Certainly, almost all Poles will tell you the country 'began' (it kind of had a soft start) in 966, and not in 1944.

(Note: there was technically the government-in-exile in London, which you could argue maintained continuity, but I don't think it's necessary so I'm leaving that out of this.)

"After the launch of the first C&C Remastered Collection,"

I read that to mean that the C&C Remastered Collection is of the first games (C&C 1 and Red Alert 1) not that it is the first Remastered Collection (Remastered Collection 1).

Unfortunately this is just a rumour.
Certainly a huge difference, but if you want good performance you need to treat this as a remote buffer management problem in both cases.
Can this be solved with a proof by contradiction? Let's assume that this is impossible for our sequence. There must then be at least one (sub)word of the wrong color. For this to be fatal, it must be impossible for any word containing it to be of the correct color while having the rest of the sequence (after and before that word) continue to be the same color, no matter how large we make this word to the right, because if this wasn't true, we could then simply use this bigger word and there would be a contradiction.

If this is true for more than one word, the problem can be solved by simply inverting the chosen color and using two larger words containing both subwords, which will always be of the same, originally wrong color, which leads to a contradiction.

Otherwise, if this is only true for one subword, and therefore the initial sequence and the rest of the sequence around cannot be made to be worded correctly while the subword is contained in a word of the correct color, but that the rest of the sequence can be covered with words of the same color, we can simply include this problematic subword inside w₀

In either of the three cases 0, 1 or 2+ "toxic subwords", it is always possible to find words of the same color covering the sequence. Therefore, there can be no sequence for which it is impossible to find a suitable w₀w₁w₂ ··, and the original proposition is proven.

Please tell me if you find any issue with this approach!
> Yeah, across land.

You do know hurricanes lose power when they hit land right?

Tornadoes do. Hurricanes do as well. Why do you think there would be any difference? Hurricanes are generally more powerful.

The author of this article would enjoy this speech by Admiral Rickover, who was deeply experienced with the problems Boeing is experiencing. Admiral Rickover was the father of the nuclear navy.

https://govleaders.org/rickover.htm

Every paragraph is a bomb lobbed directly and accurately at Boeing. Almost every analysis of Boeing is directly spoken to by one of those paragraphs or something else Rickover has said.

> To maintain proper control one must have simple and direct means to find out what is going on. There are many ways of doing this; all involve constant drudgery. For this reason those in charge often create “management information systems” designed to extract from the operation the details a busy executive needs to know. Often the process is carried too far. The top official then loses touch with his people and with the work that is actually going on.
Which is a reason why randomly talking about programming language capabilities with automatic memory management is nonsense, without actually looking into the details.

Unfortunately that is exactly what the manual memory management crowd does.

This is the same explanation I was given. In Roman times it was common to only write the first few letters of a word, just enough to be able to extrapolate the full word from the context. IV was a common abbreviation for IVPPITER.
The airspeed will vary along the length of the blade, necessitating a twist to control the angle of attack for efficiency. A blade/wing that would fly would be stalled at the root and/or supersonic at tip, efficient in only a small ring. That's the twist.
In 2018 a group of Valve staff tried to figure out just how efficient they were
> I didn't consider how much intellectual work went into managing collections as entities

I wasn't talking about the software development side, and I certainly wouldn't call the tech end of this a significant part of the 'intellectual work.' Organizing and managing 88k images is something my laptop 10 years ago wouldn't balk at, serving them is something a low-tier vps could do, and supporting CRUD apps for the archivists, etc are usually trivial. I think you're massively underestimating the importance of other people's tasks in these operations. Even as a developer, the people-focused work-- e.g. working with the other teams to strategize about how tech could best suit their processes, training, design iterations, etc.-- was more work than any technical component.
While you make very good points, I think as society we are quite quick at discounting unknown unknowns in this case. Science and diagnostic methods have advanced a lot, but it is not at all improbable that there is some kind of man-made factor that also caused an increase in incidence of autism (or any other modern chronic disease, such as ADHD like I am). Being an unknown unknown, we literally cannot know until x decades later we find out, "ah yes, we used this chemical everywhere that had a measurable developmental effect on newborn. Whoopsie". Yet everyone keeps saying that's nonsense, let alone insulting and insensitive to even suggest that's the case.

I am not saying there is proof for the contrary, mind you, just science and laymen should avoid the hubris of thinking we haven't made a mistake along the way. It would not be the first time. Radium in toothpaste, cigarettes for sore throat, cocaine in health tonics, DDT, teflon, and the other hundred teratogen chemicals we have given pregnant women over the decades.

The cell phone study literature you may be thinking of is on certain types of gliomas. There are also studies on other cancers in different tissues showing similar findings, for which the common link appears to be the cell emission.

There is a decent amount of evidence around this, though of course there are some assumptions made that are difficult to show directly (such as RF causing changes over intermittent use for years on living tissue from direct observations of hypothesized mechanisms, either RNA, protein or otherwise.). The typical argument is 'it is significantly altered in individuals that use devices more, has a "dose/time-dependent" effect, and convincing ipsilateral patterning', paired with 'there are changes in cell behavior under RF in vitro'. So a leap made is sticking the two together, but it's not a completely crazy one.
While it's true that conservatively performed science does lead to more consistent results (so not every correlation would be claimed as a brand new discovery), nowadays we have two basic problems.

1. Science has become so abstract that it's very easy to cheat with statistics and methodology. This is both due to the enormous complexity which makes it hard to verify, but also because there are few low-hanging fruits, and people are pressured to show a result. I even had that pressure in high school in some classes to show results from nothing!

2. There are many areas which are so advanced that the overwhelming majority of us, and even experts barely comprehend any of it, but simultaneously there's many things which we barely know anything about. Sadly or not sadly, many of these areas are simply neglected because universities and companies aren't interested in them. That doesn't mean that these areas are useless or impossible to research, they are just either niche or non-existent. Now, people in those areas obviously won't use the "new" scientific methods since they don't even know themselves what will happen or how it works, so it's not possible to theoretise it in a similar way, unless if they randomly make them up.

Also, many (I would even say most) publications can safely be cut down by 50% without losing anything of value. I am saying this because you mentioned science is cutthroat - but it isn't cutthroat in coming up with new experiments, tools and making observations, it's mostly cutthroat in academia politics, falsifying/p-hacking data and writing eloquent bullshit in the form of shibboleths designed to be read by other peers in academia.
I really struggle with this, which seems to be an odd extrapolation of the pervasive celebrity culture we have nowadays.

Take politics, for example: I dislike the idea that politicians must be impressive and charismatic. What I really want a politician to be is a dull, smart, earnest, grey person who does an exceptionally good job of making decisions on running my country. I don’t want to raving egoist in the slightest, and it shouldn’t matter what I think of that individual personally if their output is excellent.

Similarly, while I agree that Musk is becoming more and more objectionable with time, I don’t understand why that is a factor in the objective decision of buying a car. Don’t like autopilot? Fine, buy another brand. Need 4x4 capability? Fine, buy an another brand. But if Tesla was the best choice for your needs (and I believe in many cases, it may be) then not buying it simply because of the odd behaviour of one individual seems incomprehensible. It’s a car. A lump of metal engineered to move you around. It’s not a manifestation of anyone’s emotions or worldview.

Further, I suspect there are many many objectionable individuals in significant positions in many of the companies we purchase from; perhaps the only major difference is that they are simply not as high-profile as Musk.
I don't think anyone claims it's /exactly/ the same entity (except in a legal sense after a government-in-exile is restored home, such as after World War II). But there's a general sense that a country can in some way be a continuation of a previous one, particularly if it shares the same language and a similar territory.

Compare the borders of something like the Duchy of Bohemia and the modern-day Czech Republic. That's two states over a thousand years apart, separated by centuries of highs and lows, including uncountable foreign invasions and Austrian rule for four centuries. And yet there's something obviously parallel to them - states ruled from Prague, inhabited largely by Czech speakers, extending to virtually the same territory.

Europe's natural and linguistic borders are relatively stable, so the emergence of similar states over similar territories in time is not unexpected.
> Supply and demand, baby! If a company really likes you, they can always scale up your pay even if you are in a low cost of living place.

I don't think it's that easy. When Person A who is living in a high-cost area asks for a raise, they will be perceived right. When Person B who is living in a low-cost area does the same, they will be perceived greedy. If the company thinks that cost-of-living has value, it will.

Ask HN: What is a good small Linux for education
I'm seeking advice on which Linux distribution to choose for educational purposes. To provide some context: I have been programming for the last 12 years. I understand how transistors, processors, and microcontrollers work. I can write low-level firmware in C and also use Linux as a tool for my work. However, my knowledge gap lies in understanding how the Linux OS operates. At the same time, I'm not yet prepared to invest time in reading theoretical books on operating systems or delving into the Linux source code.

Instead, I desire the most minimal Linux setup that I can experiment with. My minimal goal: I aim to configure a Linux system with networking capabilities and run a service in such a manner that I have control and understanding of all the components involved and can ensure its security.
A great discussion on this: Lex Fridman's interview of David Patterson.
This kind of memory order speculatiom is basically required on x86 since the strong semantics would otherwise prevent many useful reorderings (especially L-L which is absolutely critical).

The basic way it works is that pretty much any reordered is allowed, speculatively, even if it violates the explicit or implicit barriers, but then the operations are tracked in a memory order buffer (MOB) until retirement which can detect whether the reordering was detectable and if so flush the pipeline (so-called "memory order nuke", visible in performance counters).

Baseball Players with Uniform Numbers Retired by Multiple Teams
My experience working in a large internet services company is that relatively few of our software projects fail, but about 50% of our software systems are failures—in that they deliver insufficient value and are deprecated within 1-3 years of their launch.

For such systems, I don't think there it's fair to assign a single point of failure, but typically the failure is correlated with a couple of factors:

- It was built by a team with a shallow understanding of the problem to be solved (and not enough time/interest/skill to get a deeper one)

- It was built by an org that was not stable enough to provide the long term support it needed to prove its value (1.0 is an important milestone, but 1.0 software will die on the vine without the support to get to 1.1, 1.2, and 2.0)

"Talent" obvious plays a role, but I feel it is hard to answer the question "is this team talented enough?" as compared to "does this team understand the problem well enough?" and "will this teams organization support them long enough?"
