I run a small server with a few dozen users, the only problem I've had is verizon.net bounces all messages claiming spam from my IP, and steadfastly refuses to whitelist me despite numerous attempts. Always just a form-letter response, despite having checked all the boxes (SPF, DKIM, rDNS). Luckily I'm happy to live without being able to email people on @verizon.net.

I'm just not willing to store all my personal and business communication with a 3rd party. It goes against the entire purpose of the standard, and I figure the day it becomes impossible to run my own server is the day I no longer use email.
so my stupid question is, cannot it be used for power? Surely the same system which radiates the heat can be exploited to generate power with something akin to a sterling engine.

The Universe and Us: An Integrated Theory of Electromagnetics and Gravitation
I had to use that the other year whilst attempting to migrate an old old old Slackware box running on two Pentium 3s with an array of SCSI disks (so quite fancy for its time!). The machine had kernel sources that were different to the kernel running so no chance of compiling various bits of software, and I couldn't grab any GCC (EGCS?) binaries from anywhere.

I can't remember what I eventually did but I do remember discovering lynx -dump, so thanks for the reminder!
I know NASa had a competition running for the public to see if anyone could find a more optimum way of rotating the solar arrays on the station to improve power.

The insurance / responsibility question really shows how moronic bureaucracy has made us.

To rephrase naysayers in a more first degree way: "sure there would be less accidents than when the vehicle is driven by a glorified ape, but for the fewer people still killed or maimed, we wouldn't be sure whom to blaim. So we'll keep killing more of them through ape drivers, rather than rush the paperwork-rethinking trauma".
Ya, the worst i've seen is huge flashing (like, stroboscopically, i kid you not) green crosses for drug stores here in France... There are a few traffic intersections where, after having lived here a few years, i still regularly confuse a far-off (3 blocks) green pharmacy sign with a green traffic light that applies to me. Apart from being highly fugly, i would venture that it's almost dangerously distracting. It seems pharmacies in particular are offenders in my city, the rest is all rather subdued (luckily).

> Japan’s 2014 fertility rate is low – 1.4 births per woman – but David Pilling, former Tokyo bureau chief of the Financial Times, notes that South Korea’s is lower; and that those of other developed countries, from Taiwan and Singapore to Germany and Italy, are similarly low.

The difference with at least Germany, Italy, and Singapore is that they are fighting low birthrates with increased immigration. Japan is not. They are betting on robotics, in order to keep their population homogenous.

You're going way off on a tangent from the article. Some people innovate because it's their desire, that's irrelevant to the economic argument that patents encourage research departments.

Evelyn Waugh's The Loved One covers the same ground but is much funnier.

The right way is uploading, and from there we've got literally orders of magnitude more time. But seeing as that might take a while, if you're certainly going to die, and are looking at a decreasing quality of life...go out on your own terms.

More than one doctor has told me I'll be having severe mental issues in late age. And I've seen even "normal" function decay in older relatives. There's no way anyone in a healthy state would be OK with ending up like that. Yet since it happens slowly, a day at a time, we let these terrible things happen.

For me, once I know I'm getting near that downward slope and uploading isn't around, fuck it, I'm going out on my own terms. Big goodbye party, family, and a few grams of diacetylmorphine. It's sad as shit, but I think having random hazy visits that could each be their last, but spread out over months or years -- that's much worse.

And for people not dying at that time, yeah, it's probably more acutely painful to you see someone go from 50% to 0% over an hour. (And wow, how do you even decide when it's time to end the party and go for it? "Well, it's getting late...") And maybe it's traumatic to say goodbye to a coherent person. But it seems a much larger tragedy to overwrite many of your memories of that person with memories of a shade they've become.

Edit: On second thought it might be better to have a goodbye party but actually terminate rand(2h,20h) afterwards. Less traumatic.
I guess you've forgotten about all the signs on the building by the National Theater T-bane entrance. The Freia logo right by parliament is LED, but it's still a good example of that type of advertising.

But I certainly don't think it's anything close to gauche to open a store here without hiring a designer. That said, I do see more offices hiring them, but that's not just Norway, it's all over.
I can understand why some people would like more a more quantitative exploration of the issue than the opinion piece that the article is. I hate to say it, but I think the the article is spot on. I lived most of my life in Canada, moved to Japan for 5 years, moved again to the UK for 2 years and have now moved back to Japan (hopefully for good).

Japanese culture is drilled into people at school. This is something heavily criticised by foreigners who pity the lack of freedom that Japanese school children have. It is a double edged sword, but this strong cultural upbringing (enforced by teachers, not parents) does have a lot of advantages.

I think one of the biggest thing I like about Japan is the lack of societal angst that I perceive here. Many, many people here are "poor" (I live in the countryside where jobs are not plentiful, or high paying), but I never hear anyone complaining about their salary. You just make do with what you have. Especially the "American Dream" is practically absent. Hardly anybody tries to strike it rich. They just try to make a nice life within their means.

When I lived in the UK, the sky rocketing housing market split people into 2 camps -- those speculating in order to make it rich, and those who were wondering if how they were going to be able to live on the pittance of a salary they received (and complaining about the injustice of it all).

I'm sure many people prefer the western approach, but I will happily live in "poverty" in Japan instead.

Why feature testing is important for development
Novolin N is human insulin. Walmart pharmacies likely sell more than one brand/type, this was just the one my vet prescribed (although a formal prescription isn't necessary, you just have to ask the pharmacist for it). It was about $25, so I assumed it was the same stuff the parent comment was talking about.
A heat engine is great when your cold sink is 'free', but here, the cold sink would be the radiator fins, and extracting energy from the temperature difference between main ISS and radiator fins would effectively just make the radiator fins worse at cooling the ISS.

Which is fine if you have lots of excess radiator fins. But they almost certainly don't -- shipping up extra radiator fins in order to get power from the excess cooling capacity would be less efficient than just adding solar cells (efficiency of a heat engine maxes out at 1 - (T_cold / T_hot)).
PlanGrid Is Hiring Mobile, JavaScript, Back End and Data Science Hackers
I'm amazed to see C# (async/await) syntax being used as a Javascript proposal. While I love C#, I didn't think it got much love from too many other people because of people's attitude towards Microsoft and the C# community. I personally use async/await all over my code, so it will be great to use the same syntax in JS despite the fact that we can use yield/generator to achieve the same thing and the syntax is still very similar to async/await

These radiators exist specifically to deal with power which has already been used. As stated in the article, the station needs a few kW of electrical power. Eventually all this power ends up as a waste heat energy. There is nothing that can be done with it, so it has to be dumped into space.

I read some Stoic writings and while I find some concepts useful, this is rather horrid. You don't lump "old age" in with maturity, sex and pregnancy. Old age is just a gross euphemism. But I guess the writing is too obviously nonsensical when if you say "health and organ failure" "happiness and memory loss". To take what would be, if inflicted by another person, torture -- to call that "required by nature" and to welcome it is just vile. At best it's a grief counseling strategy, though I'm not sure on the ethics there.

You should have disdain for death. It's a stupid, terrible, senseless thing. Just because we can't fix it yet[1] makes no difference to the terribleness that it is. Saying "death is part of nature" with a deep voice doesn't make it suddenly profound. You know what else is natural? Getting infected with botflies.

In practice, one of the main issues with DST is the computational complexity inherent in its reasoning approach. Here are two classic meta-studies devoted to approximation algorithms that try to tackle this problem:

The first one focuses on quantitative deviations while the second paper considers the qualitaty of a decision.
