Knowing that the ticket is still open is helpful, yes. But it can be expressed as a Boolean, dedicating a whole essay to it is pointless doomsaying. I’d much rather read the technical details and level of access needed to exploit it so I ca

Damn astronomy is crazy. And the point still stands!

Hm, I cannot unify that claim with this diagram: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagrange_point#/media/File:Lag...

Thanks, didn’t know that. Turns out there are no “crater” Lagrange points, so the analogy doesn’t really hold. But that also means there are no stable Lagrange points, so the question doesn’t hold either!

Do you place your telescope at the top of the mountain with boulders falling away from it in all directions or at the bottom of a crater with boulders falling towards it from all directions?

Everything supports padStart natively, for almost half a decade by now.

Taking individual cars, perhaps. But if you put two people in a Prius you’ll save on emissions relative the the same two flying. Based on [1], flying is roughly 75 passenger-miles per gallon. Prius is 45 MPG, perhaps ~40 under load. So if y

Does a “raw” picture convey a divine truth? (Taking “divine truth” here to mean “analog sensor’s signal modulo the specified bit depth and some linear transform”)

The real question is who is underwriting the cleanup effort. If the orchestrator is paying the insurance bill, the problem may solve itself.

To be fair, a kid after three years of high school is "senior". As is a kid after 3 years of college. Perhaps your word2vec("senior") is what needs recalibrating.

Sure, but nothing stops the would-be word-putter from crafting an entirely novel false narrative.

> the specification is CC-BY-ND (the latter is notably less free, albeit for good reasons) Anyone know what these "good reasons" are? I recall Stallman himself does the same thing, licensing his prose in a non modifiable format

Why would a dishwasher need two people to deliver it in UK? Just one dude and a couple wheels is all I’ve seen needed in US.

I’m discovering my secret (even to myself) ulterior motive in posting the above may have been to identify a cohort of fellow HN’ers looking for high quality of life per cost of living areas suitable for remote (co?)working. I’m currently PN

Those finding fault in this may be better served by the B6ppen climate classification, which is a global index that takes into account not just temperature but also rainfall and whether the rain is strongest in summer or winter. Notably, it

As someone who hasn't really gamed since Crysis, looking at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5rYjHuZsM0 , I have to say I feel.... not impressed at all? Maybe that video is a poor example, but the plants for instance lo

Not entirely factious: why not? Life would go on. Not human life sure, but it’s not like we’re the ultimate shepherds of the planet and it would be a valueless rock without us. If the options are: yield the planet over to some nuclear harde

Combine the two? Several smaller cables with a cycling subset powered at any given moment.

Look all you want, but maybe draw the line somewhere before “shoot them with a tranquilizer dart and glue a gps transmitter to them while they’re passed out”

Are you equivalently comfortable tracking humans who do not ponder privacy and/or realize they are being tracked? Honest question, I know some developers will give an unequivocal “yes” to the above. As for the discomfort, I don’t have

Anyone else get bothered seeing wild animals tagged like that? I recall watching a documentary where they were tagging rhinos and elephants for “conservation” purposes, but oops some of them suffocated during tranquilization. Even if everyt

Websites make the consumer unfriendly choice because it makes them money, the law allows it, and their competitors are already doing it. They’d be fools not to. If the law was instead “no non-essential cookies may be stored when the do not

On paper, sure. In practice, it’s a quick path to “yeah whatever I accept all your stuff just show me the damn content I came here for”. The web would be much better off if the law was implanted with normal consumers and sane defaults in mi

by jakear 5y ago
The only real explanation is that the cookie laws were explicitly designed to wear users down into blindly accepting whatever prompts get thrown at them on website load. Anyone with half a brain and a real intent to reduce tracking would ha

Ah, walkie talkie and wifi, of course! :) I suppose a good starting point would be to just buy some commercially available walkie talkies and see what sorts of modulation is possible. Cheers!

Are there any bands in the US that are open for free use? A sort of Wild West band. The tech seems very cool to experiment with, but I don’t want to end up in this guys shoes for trying to wirelessly control my coffee pot (for instance…).

Huh, this could actually be a good query for relative frequency normalization. I had been searching for a way to display trends in a way that doesn’t just reflect overall content volume, without a good way to get a number for overall query

Bit confused by Δ⁷uₓ = 0, should it be read as “approximately equals”?
