It depends on what you mean by "inside" a black hole. If this means "inside the event horizon", well, if the black hole is big enough, you can put yourself in orbit around it relatively easily, you'll just never be able to achieve escape velocity. If you take the Earth for example, a geosync orbit has a velocity of 3.07km/s, whereas escape velocity is 11km/s
Assuming you still have an internet connection... why not? :)

Well, guess TCP/IP is out, but maybe TV and radio broadcasts would still function.
Austerity means reducing government debt by increased taxation and/or reduced government spending. And yet the author talks about slavery, mercantilism, immigration, settlement, representation in Parliament and a lot more. Why put Austerity in the title at all?
Somewhat related: there is a short story by Greg Egan, "The Planck Dive", describing a voyage (without return) into a black hole, in a scientifically not too absurd way. You can read it online:

Ok, I understand that.. However my question is: What capabilities does this "piloted driving" system have... Can it drive on it own? Does it only have adaptive cruise control? Can it switch lanes? Can i sleep while on the highway (probably not)..

I like driving a lot, but 1.5 hours on a highway tend to be boring.

It's worth pointing out that it's a case of YMMV. There are clearly those who haven't had success adopting Scala. I've seen Scala used successfully by multiple teams, but I suspect a strong culture of code reviews may have been a significant factor in our successful adoption of Scala. I would be disappointed if they tried to remove features from Scala, the extra features really do come in useful when used selectively.

What do we know about the nature of entanglement? Does it make sense to talk about entanglement between regions inside and outside of an event horizon? Couldn't it be the case that entanglement too breaks down somehow at the event horizon?
If people learn to take regular backups this wouldn't be a problem.
It would be interesting to know how much work is required to keep the business running. The multiple is quite low (3x profits) and to me the business seems already established (or even 'finished' if you allow the expression), so either I'm underestimating the amount of work that is required to keep it going, or there is another reason why patio11 would be so keen to offload it?
What? So companies cant hire whoever they want in whatever way they want? They all have to have a set process open to everyone?

I've hired people before on the spot because of who they are and what they know. Is that somehow wrong?

Life isn't fair and sometimes the right team is who they already know. Do you want them to interview every robotics researcher on the planet in a massive interview round instead of getting work done with a pretty great group that's already proven themselves?
What is a company? A company is a group of people who are providing a product or service. Why should each post be filled individually? What’s wrong with offering a team of people whom have proven themselves capable as a group a position? Why does there need to be an application? This position was open to anyone else on the planet, and Uber chose the talented people at CM. “Uber screwed every robotics researcher who doesn’t work at CM” I’m not sure I follow your logic on that part, mind expanding?. “Uber handed the position to their preferred group rather than using the free market”, the free market is by definition people consensually transacting with each other. Uber’s preferred group is their choice out of all the robotics engineers on the entire planet, and using their best judgement they offered a position to this particular group of people, and they consensually accepted. How is that not a free market? No one was coerced. Please define ‘fair’ and ‘reasonable’ in this context. Forgive my structuring, I'm on mobile ATM.

So, Uber makes money by saving people time and money, in comparison to the alternatives.

That doesn't mean what they're doing is necessarily a good thing. A lot of people argue that Uber saves people time and money by circumventing legislation designed to protect passengers and drivers. Uber's entire business lives or dies on whether or not they're a taxi business and whether or not their drivers are employees. If it's the case that they are a taxi company or their drivers are employees then Uber are definitely in the wrong at the moment. I don't have an opinion either way because I'm not qualified to say.

If they do not provide a quality service they will not exist.

Plenty of terrible businesses that provide shockingly poor quality products exist. I could save people time and money on their building needs by starting a construction business that ignored building regulations. There'd be plenty of trade because lots of people put cost before quality but that wouldn't be a good thing.

"That's the thing about black holes. They're not just annoying obstacles for space travellers. They're also theoretical laboratories that take the subtlest quirks in the laws of physics, then amplify them to such proportions that they can't be ignored."

I also use this strategy to think about philosophy and science. People often think that because they are extremes, they are not relevant. However, they are as relevant! And they force us to think outside our natural instinct.
I am surprised that your personal experience is one of many iPads in the wild.

"We must do away with the absolutely specious notion that everybody has to earn a living. It is a fact today that one in ten thousand of us can make a technological breakthrough capable of supporting all the rest. The youth of today are absolutely right in recognizing this nonsense of earning a living. We keep inventing jobs because of this false idea that everybody has to be employed at some kind of drudgery because, according to Malthusian-Darwinian theory, he must justify his right to exist. So we have inspectors of inspectors and people making instruments for inspectors to inspect inspectors. The true business of people should be to go back to school and think about whatever it was they were thinking about before somebody came along and told them they had to earn a living."

I really dont get the point of arguing that other people's choices and what they choose to work on is "pointless". It takes all types of people in every imaginable field to make this world work and we have more than enough to keep everyone busy.

What exactly is the issue with wealth? The business owners are rich yes, but you don't get to that level without providing something of massive value to someone. In this case, Uber is helping millions of people every day. Also you don't die and leave with all your money, it always gets dispersed eventually, even if it's longer than a single generation.

It's bad from that PoV because slaves can't reach their productive potential as if they were free. Literacy is forbidden, they can't switch jobs and can't advance their skills beyond manual labor, their families are frequently broken up and they're subjected to tremendous physical, psychological and often sexual abuse.
In my case it's the lack of documentation about a huge system (ecosystem, I'd rather call it), in contrast to an overengineered methodology and process, which involves mandatory code reviews by people unfamiliar with the code and 6 test phases before production.

If I crank 10 lines of code a week I consider myself lucky, and it won't take less than 3 weeks for them to hit production.

The combination of that with long builds and releases (30min minimum) makes me always have something to do, but I'm always waiting for something to be able to move on (build to be finished, answers from experts, validation by QA...). That's where HN and r/programming kick in.
Does push "need" a central server? I connect to my IMAP server from K-9 Mail on my OnePlus One running Android using a Tor hidden service. And I have IMAP IDLE turned on, so a persistent connection is maintained. So as soon as an email arrives, it is pushed to my phone and I am notified. With no third party push service involved. And my phones battery still lasts about one and a half to two days.

There's plenty of good advice here.

But IMHO the meds are a short-term relieve to take you out of the negative spiral you're in. Why on those meds it's much "easier" to talk to a psychiatrist and work out a long-term solution.
> After spending a few weeks away from work catching up with movies, I started feeling better. Once I got my thoughts back, I decided to quit. By that time I didn’t like my job at all, I couldn’t imagine going back not even for a day. If I knew it was a burnout at that time, and if I got help in time, I might have been still at the bank working as a branch manager :)

This is one of those interesting "stay vs leave" situations. If OP had recognized impending burnout early on, and addressed it, would she have been happier staying on at the bank?

It's usually quite hard to say.
I recently saw the movie Interstellar starring Matthew McConaughey. It answers the question of what happens if you fall into a blackhole and it involves a bookcase, I don't want to spoil it for those who haven't seen it.

Edit: Seems the people downvoting me are a bit sensitive and don't have a sense of humour. Sorry to anyone who was somehow offended.
In the article:

"Britain’s national debt had risen to £122 million, or over 150 percent of the Gross Domestic Product" ... "the British government abruptly changed course."

so the policies were about reducing the debt. The other stuff was part of the policies. I'll give you that the slavery stuff seems a bit distantly related.

At some stage Kickstarter was more about suggesting dreams rather than contracts.
Also there are so many other models out there - artists can get dedicated fans to subscribe to each new piece of content they create on sites like Patreon.com (founded by a YouTube musical duo tired of the pennies they were receiving). Pretty amazing - folks contribute a $1 or more for each new song, for example, as a way to keep artists producing. You'll see folks making a decent monthly income just off this channel - plus getting some great connections communicating with their fans.
I think we are in a black hole already. We just don't know it yet. :D

Even more interesting is the fact that the single cell organisms living in a human body, outnumber human cells by a factor of 10.

The legislation may have been designed to protect drivers and passengers, but I’m hesitant to believe that that is what it has actually done. It has certainly protected the incumbents. From my personal experience I felt far safer using Uber than I did the taxi alternatives in my city, as well it it being 300% cheaper and arriving in 5 minutes as opposed to the 55 of the taxi alternative. I think people are mature enough to make decisions for themselves, I’d love to see comparable data of Uber vs. taxi in the cities. Any examples of successful products which are terrible? I don’t think that’s a fair analogy, you are assuming that by ignoring the regulations that the house will be worse of, that’s an untrue assumption in my opinion. In this particular case, and in my experience, I’d argue that Uber’s service is the most quality service in all senses of the word, it’s the cheapest, it arrives the quickest and it’s the safest.

And then, we should add the "length" of our mitochondrial DNA. Although it is much smaller than nuclear DNA (16.000 base pairs), every cell has between 100 and 10.000 copies of this mtDNA.

Not so, only one of the two solutions is unstable:

Also, this applies only to circular orbits, and does not indicate that a powered ship could not maintain orbit.
yes, that's the plan! I had to take care of the basic tools and the plumbing first, but I'll add better algorithms.
Couldn't Anne just beam an electromagnetic wave of TV/radio into the black hole to you, though? Nothing will be escaping the black hole.
The tl;dr summary in some reviews was that it's five games in one, but each one lacks depth and possibilities and the endgame / last stage is kinda repetitive.
That's a fun numbering scheme, but it might be cumbersome in the long run, right?

It's named that way because a nom parser takes a byte of data ;)
> I'm not trying to be overly negative, but I think these dreamy, sometimes delusional posts can lead people astray, thinking that they're missing out on some great riches that everyone else is claiming to be achieving.

I'm not a psychologist, and I don't know you personally, but is it possible that maybe you feel a bit misled because you think you might be missing out on some great riches that everyone else is claiming to be achieving?

I think that, at the end of the day, everyone has a bullshit detector, but everyone's bullshit threshold is going to be determined by how close they are to greatness (whether they themsleves are achieving it, or the people around them are achieving it). For me, HN represents a rare intersection of do'ers and dreamers. Are all the people who claim to be "doing" actually doing it? Of course not, but there are still valuable lessons here. There are enough lessons in Patio11's posts that even if he were exaggeratting his claims to promote his brand (and I don't perosnally think that he is), I'd still consider his contributions to be worthwhile reading.

Skepticism is a healthy thing in moderation, but I for one, would rather be surrounded by a lot of people who are optimistic (if a bit boastful), then a lot of people who are pessimistic and critical, but I'd trade them both for genuine friends with efficacy and cogency.
What a coincidence that I finish watching interstellar and the minute I check my phone this is the number one post. Maybe I made that happen.
Just have Anne toss you DVDs of Game of Thrones from outside the event horizon.
If a good team nails the guidelines down before hand on which idioms they plan to use and stick to them, yeah.

That is a rare qualifier to meet in my experience, many teams will be ecstatic about scala. Many times we'd be hiring java programmers who felt that scala would make them more relevant in the startup world.

Next is the situation where it would be, "Just hold keep holding on..." until a. the language finally clicks b. the whole system is in scala. c. Both.

Scala did just click. And there never was a best solution to solve a problem. Python programmers were canned, we had the floor - those "distractions" were eliminated. We just got in this vicious cycle while we burned away our runway.

Now we look back, bitter, and make excuses. What hurts my pride to say is, Why didn't we just pick the safe bet - the Python or the Java.

I upvoted you. If you got a smart team and can make scala work somehow, all the power to you. I think you should make a story about how you scaled your code so the rest of us can learn
I don't think it was ever different. The idea that there should be enough time to sleep and have hobbies, that's the new thing. Just because our parents already experienced these privileges doesn't mean it's an old topic.

And if something like this happens so regularly, so naturally, I think instead of logically arguing about it we should worry more about how to handle that. I'm thinking about that other article were sales people were working together to make it looks like they all would work 80 hour weeks.

Last but not least let's not forget that our bosses also actually don't care abut our work hours. Caring would mean that they would need to look at hour work schedules and time tables, etc, instead of going to the golf club. For them it's more important that they can make a good impression on their bosses and customers as well. As long as we deliver that impression they don't mind that we all act like we are working 80 hour weeks, including them.
The theory very explicitly does not posit a "split in realities" or "parallel universes" or anything of the sort. It says there is quantum information both inside the black hole and outside it, and this is ok because they're supposedly causally disconnected from one another.
As the article alluded to we are in many ways free falling and waiting to be crushed to death. It's just we are free falling through time rather than space.
> Let's say there is a law against walking your dog without a leash on .... Is it appropriate to give that person a ticket

Yes, because that law was written for the convenience of law enforcement. The law should have been "You need to be able to control your dog at all times when in public, with a leach if necessary", or indeed, not there at all: There are plenty of laws on the books that penalises behaviour that hurts other people. But enforcing that is a lot more difficult than determining the absence of a leach and writing a ticket, regardless of whatever harm or risk is present in the actual situation.

You're suggesting that laws should be enforced in accordance with how they should have been written, not how they are written - and while obviously a good thing in this case, it also applies in the other direction: A policer officer might feel very strongly that beating unruly arrestees is what the law should be.

Rule of law means the laws are enforced as they are written, equally for everyone, not subject to the whims of law enforcement. Making stupid laws that implicitly demands law enforcement to be arbitrary is deeply corroding to the rule of law.
