It is likely that most particles become charged positively, after the incident radiation expels electrons from them.

For negative charges, electrons must be captured. There is a minor component of the cosmic radiation that consists of electrons and it is also possible to capture photoelectrons emitted by nearby particles, but in most cases there should be much less opportunities to capture electrons than to emit them.

Even an incoming electron from the cosmic radiation would first expel a great number of electrons from dust particles before slowing enough to be captured by some particle.

EDIT:
As explained in the document linked by another poster, what is written above is correct only for the day side of the Moon.

On the night side, electrons are no longer emitted, but only captured, so the sign of the charge is reversed.
And if their parents aren't safe people, they remember that too.

I experienced feeling truly, deeply, completely safe for the first time in my thirties. It rocked my world. Things almost didn't seem real immediately afterward, like I was dreaming. I compare it to visiting France when I could speak Spanish, but not French. My brain wanted to reply to people in "not English," so kept trying to spit out Spanish responses to French questions. My brain didn't have a context for "safe" other than "not real life," so it tried to react like I was dreaming.

I don't want to go into all the details about what it's like to try to teach your parasympathetic nervous system how to come fully online when you're this far into adulthood, but I recommend making sure children do have somewhere they can practice coming down from stress way before they're my age.
“White” is a socially and culturally constructed label, not an ethnic group. For example, Germans and French people in those countries don’t identify as “white”—they identify as German and French. It’s a label created in the context of racial politics.

My theory is that NPR listeners no longer really identify with the label “white.” They might acknowledge the label applies to them. But when they complain about “white people” they are referring to other white people.
Contrary to what vocal Kotlin advocates might believe, Kotlin only matters on Android, and that is thanks to Google pushing it no matter what.

And even so, they had to conceed Android and Kotlin on their own, without the Java ecosystem aren't really much useful, thus ART is now updatable via Play Store, and currently supports OpenJDK 17 LTS on Android 12 and later devices.

As for your question regarding numbers, mostly Java 74.6%, C++ 13.7%, on the OpenJDK, other JVM implementations differ, e.g. GraalVM is mostly Java 91.8%, C 3.6%.

>I was surprised that the article talks about employment. I expected it to be about the assets they hold.

Good employment opportunities give you the power to build wealth and access high QoL perks like remote work and more free time to live life, that previous generations didn't have.

Try not having good employment and see, you're not thinking about assets or complaining about a 2h commute to the office but about paying for food and rent.
They have got really positive (relatively) reviews though https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TitZV6k8zfA "The Worst Product I've Ever Reviewed... For Now" at least a different league then the other scams listed.
The GP was saying that if you're looking over a list of multiple sporting events (e.g. a league), they all kinda look the same: team A vs team B, one of them wins, the other doesn't. If you're not specifically following one of the teams involved (and thus know their story), there's little to draw the casual consumer to one event or another.

If you're looking at stats, it's the same. Just a long list of events and scores which are all basically the same thing.

For a lot of art, if you don't know how or why it was created, it can be hard for many people to develop an attachment or strong emotional response to the artwork. For my part, I definitely have to work for it, and most art doesn't generate much of a flutter, until I read the backstory.

Big old paintings often include some of the story in their content, but not always. Modern art and sculpture much less so.

I can quite easily marvel at the raw technique of a Caravaggio painting. But going on technique alone, why would I spend time with Caravaggio over Dali, over Turner, over Hokkaido etc. It's only when I read the title, or the backstory that I understand, the _reason_ he was driven to paint it. And then I see the lighting, the glances, the composition, the postures, the hand positions and I marvel again, and the story and the technique emerge and recombine for me.

(art's a tricky example to offer here, especially old art. I totally get how some people have strong emotional reactions to some art, without the story. )
Using a monopolistic position in one market (i.e. cash flow) to make another market not profitable can be considered abusing one's position in the first market.

We can debate if comments are more informative than articles and sometimes they are. Many times they are not, especially if you happen to be a SME.

Western democracies had no interest in supporting democracies in other places they have been complicit in bringing down fledging democracies all over the the world the latest example is Pakistan.

It really boils down to what you define as "leisure activities" and everyone is different and often multi-faceted in that regard. So this certainly fails as a one-size-fits-all advice.

There are hobbies we do out of pure enjoyment. E.g. for me personally this is (choir-)singing. I know so many people who are better singers than I am (or ever will be) yet I couldn't care less. I am 100% happy with my skill level. If anyone else comes to the conclusion that somebody else is a better singer than I, they're probably right!

Then there are hobbies we do b/c we like the skill itself or b/c we want to have what comes with it. E.g. when I do a SW or HW side-project I really do want to create the best product (as niche-y as it might be) and yes, I do care a great deal about whether others like it or not. Put simply I want to be the best b/c I can be the best. I couldn't imagine doing this just for fun. TBH the whole idea of just-for-fun side projects sounds absurd to me.
Yes, Microsoft has documentation on how to set up USB/IP for connecting USB devices to the WSL2 VM. It works quite well, in my experience.
Sorry, you obviously don't live in a totalitarian country.

Democracy is never ideal, it's always full of crooks, lies, hypocrisy. Especially when most people have more interesting things to do than participating in politics. But it's not even close to anything totalitarian. I've lived in both, and have the perspective.
Love that the devs are doing this. They created a successful game studio, Toys for Bob, and could be quite content to sit back and enjoy their success. But they’re going back to a labor of love that is surely never going to be a big money spinner, all for the fans of a game from 1992.

If you dont remember sso was sold as a panacea, and there was a lot of lip service to it. Whether you believe it is or is not matters less than what the industry promised.

So selling this fundamental, foundational security service as a top tier premium value add is disingenuous, and either deceitful or greedy.

And frankly if you're overly cynical about it; it's a lot like streaming in the sense of why am i forced to pay 10 vendors for the same library? There's a data ownership issue, why am i forced to let them own my user data on their cloud unless i pay for the privilege of owning my own data?
I don't think being pedantic is appropriate for good discussion.

The lesser point is that, as things like Kubernetes is for large scale software development models, a small business will find it detrimental to copy Google's internal organizations and practices. They don't have the same genetics and they're playing different games.

And, the more important point, there's no room or space for any new, neo-Google to form now. It's over, as they say. The end of history, I guess.
Guess we need to do a follow on study, what a way to use the R&D budget. I don't think I will be short of volunteers.

I look forward to publishing the differing effects of XXXX Gold vs Stone & Wood in order for us to optimise the department budget. However I will be waiting for further research before starting trials of Bundy Rum. I am concerned the development efficiency will be offset by repairing punched screens.

Not a hot take. Even if you had impossibly perfect laser projectors, you do not have anywhere semi decent to project them.
A gravel pump is a type of centrifugal pump that is used to transport abrasive solids, such as gravel, sand, and rocks, along with water or other fluids. It consists of a rotating impeller that creates a centrifugal force, which pushes the mixture of water and solids out through the pump discharge.
What you call signs of quality are cultural signifiers. My native language is French, a language that has an actual gatekeeping administration (English doesn’t). The french I grew up with(not in the country of France) may be considered lower quality by some people because they aren’t used to it, but really what they mean is that I express a different set of cultural signifiers they are used to.

Unsurprisingly signs of language qualities have a tendency to reinforce the language spoken by people in power.
Why add dangers, though? Even just perceived ones? It's perfectly possible to teach children to swim without giving them the experience of fearing for their lives.

Hey HN! We just relaunched LaunchFlow, an infrastructure-from-code tool that automatically deploys infrastructure to your own GCP / AWS account as you use it in your Python code.

Our tool is currently focused on making it easy to build Python APIs connected to cloud resources (ex: a FastAPI app connected to RDS Postgres on AWS). We plan on adding Jobs and Notebook deployments in the next few months.

I would love to hear your feedback on how we can improve your developer experience when building Python apps on the cloud.

If you’d be willing to try it out on a call with me, I’ll upgrade your account for free!

I think one problem is the real world has become so car centric that it creates two problems:

- Kids rely on parents for transportation. Which usually means structured activities like camps etc over informal socializing.

- Kids getting around in the outside world is dangerous. We were wondering if our kids and friends could walk to a nearby ice cream shop. I think this would be more normal outside the US, it here it requires crossing a few intersections drivers cut through to get around.

As such I’d hypothesize kids will retreat to social media and virtual tools to connect because the real world isn’t that friendly.
Show HN: Desbordante 2.0 – A high-performance data profiler
Hi! We are excited to announce the second release of Desbordante — an open-source, high-performance data profiler that is capable of discovering and validating many different patterns in data using various algorithms.

Unlike existing data profilers, Desbordante focuses on discovering complex patterns in data, which are notoriously hard to extract. Since its inception in 2019, it has become the fastest open-source tool for these tasks. It also offers an array of patterns which have no alternative implementations. With this release, Desbordante now supports 17 types of patterns, such as: various types of functional dependencies, inclusion and order dependencies, fuzzy algebraic constraints and many others.

Some ways in which Desbordante can be helpful are:
1) Hypothesis generation for scientists that work with large volumes of data.
2) Business data owners and business analysts can benefit from hypothesis generation as well as data quality improvement: cleaning databases from errors, finding and removing inexact duplicates, and so on.
3) Found primitives can help data scientists in feature engineering and choosing the right direction for ablation studies.

Desbordante solves two types of tasks: Discovery and Validation. The Discovery task is designed to identify all instances of a specified pattern type of a given dataset. The Validation task is different: it is designed to check whether a specified pattern instance is present in a given dataset. This task not only returns True or False, but it also explains why the instance does not hold (e.g. it can list table rows with conflicting values).

Desbordante offers a CLI, a web application, and a Python library. The latter makes it possible to construct ad-hoc data analysis pipelines — essentially, your own applications for various data quality tasks: data cleaning, data deduplication, anomaly detection, data schema recovery and many others. You can check out example implementations here: https://github.com/Desbordante/desbordante-core/tree/main/ex....

Check out some of our articles for more details:

https://medium.com/@chernishev/exploratory-data-analysis-wit...

https://itnext.io/building-a-simple-data-cleaning-applicatio...

https://levelup.gitconnected.com/checking-mining-and-explori...

This major release brings a lot of improvements: support for several novel patterns, support for novel data type — graphs, added python bindings for existing patterns, better guides and examples and more. The detailed changelog can be seen here (https://github.com/Desbordante/desbordante-core/releases/tag...).
The parents of Gen Z are the baby boomers, right?

According to Google, the average baby boomer has $1.2M in assets.

If they had given 10% of that to their newborn and invested it in software companies, the child would already be as wealthy as the parent now. And could focus on asset allocation.

Instead of spending decades with other stuff to then finally come to learn about asset allocation.

Blaming China will not resolve an US problem. People can get popped when carrying narcotics, as little as 50g heroin for example, in or out of China without proper paper works. So large amount of fentanyl must get into US through proper channel with proper documents, or it simply cannot get out of China. I don't see how China can be held responsible for something circulating in US.

What is even less hypotethical is that dozens of countries are now actively making plans to arm themselves with nuclear weapons, as the US refuses to take the risk to step in.

Dare to guess what are the risks of nuclear war (even by accident) when that becomes the new normal?

The Russian aren't going to make less nuclear threats if the US keeps folding.
Yes and? Why are you repeating yourself? The average baby boome is much older as well. Time in the market beats everything. Gen Z is still young, also has time to build wealth. Especially if they later inherit their parents wealth when they pass away.
Rectangle (and Magnet) are both good but I find their vertical monitor support lackluster. I know Magnet sort of supports it but I don’t like its hotkeys. Phoenix is great cause I can do whatever I want/need. I have a hotkey that reorgs all my windows where I like them and even accounts for the 2 different locations I work at. That coupled with displayplacer makes moving between different setups a breeze.

If you don’t have vertical monitors then yes, rectangle/magnet are awesome.

Nah.
I'm not literally saying we can't do them, just that as you say they're not popular.
Some of them are pretty obsolete, reflecting old conflicts and languages that are no longer in use, or obsolete due to hardware advancements, like the quip about lispers not caring about computational performance.

But that one is very good advice. A data structure that can represent a tree and be used with filter/map/reduce (e.g. list or array) can get you very far, and the functions can carry semantics instead of names attached to the data.
That is extremely unlikely, for several reasons. The first is that Russia has many enemies and it doesn't like the idea of some of them getting their hands on nukes. Second, the great geostrategic ambition of Russia is to get a warm ocean port, or, to use the metaphor they like, to "wash their boots in the Indian Ocean". That was within their reach immediately after WW2, and resulted in the Iran crisis of 1946 [1]. There are rumors that Truman threatened the USSR with "dropping one on them" [2] if they don't retreat from Iran, and they are probably unfounded, but the nuclear threat was certainly there, and Stalin certainly acted on it. Russia wants to preserve the possibility that one day they will be able to march again towards the Indian Ocean.

Last: nukes are useful for a nation is you demonstrate that you have them. If Iran has nukes right now, keeping that a secret does not serve its interests in the best way.

I'd say it's because it's not obvious in the languages we use what is and is not an atomic operation. Different languages do provide different levels of protection by default as well, making it even harder to know what is and is not safe. Personally when I'm in a language that makes things obvious then it becomes easier to reason about. Rust helps, verbosly. I don't have any problem in JavaScript because the runtime usually doesn't allow for your own code to be running concurrently. Each way here has trade-offs.

The exact same thing can be said about "the Americans". In both regions there are more than enough people that want surveillance and banning of encryption, it's not just "the politicians" (because, you know, "think of the children/terrorists").
> Tesla has always been a luxury brand

I disagree. While they have a sticker price implying luxury, they justify the price on the grounds of electricity being cheaper than petrol and diesel, not on build quality.

> I mean it did give a boost to ICE sales and make companies reconsider their jump away from those.

Always would in the short term, but the main cost and supply limit is batteries, and supply is now high enough (and cost low enough) that governments are better off just mandating the change rather than subsidising it; there's a few examples around the world of governments subsidising petrol, with the obvious results — everyone has backed the subsidy into their lives, and it would be political suicide to remove even in dictatorships.

GenX are parents of GenZ. Older GenX started work in the early 90s and bought houses before the runup. Later GenX entered job market in dot.bomb and bought homes at peak of housing bubble (that was us, we are not rich).
How much buying power does this income provide for goods & services that the younger generation wants/needs to buy?

For example: Over the last decades housing prices, college tuition & stock prices have significantly outpaced the average inflation rate. Older generations could buy up these assets at a discount (at least compared to Millennials & Gen Z).
Wouldn't the parents fall into the Gen X?
