There's a 0% chance of a successful colony, by any definition of successful, on Mars in the next century. If we, as a species, cannot avoid destroying the climate that birthed us over millions of years we have exactly 0% chance of surv

He doesn't make a good point. I'd rather have people of high moral character responsible for enforcing the law.

This speech by Colonel Jessep is meant to be revealing of his true thoughts and character. Jessep rationalizes the evil and immoral acts he commits or orders because he's "protecting" the rest of society. He lied to cover up

What is there to stop beyond the horrible energy consumption and scams? Bitcoin doesn't do anything useful at all. It's a net negative for the earth and the public at large.

So... what happens when the person who originally deployed everything eventually leaves or gets hit by a bus? Hey, it's six months later and you need to redeploy everything again. You need some automation or a really good how-to docume

Anyone done TOTP port-knocking to open an SSH listen port with just the originator white-listed for a short window?

This seems strange, aren't the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines built using the exact same mRNA sequence?

Even if your bodies are pretty similar, you still don't know if your vitamin D levels will follow the pattern that his did. If you're messing with vitamin D supplements you should talk to a doctor and/or get your blood test

Saying you missed out on Bitcoin is like saying you missed out on a giant ponzi scheme.

This hasn't even been peer reviewed yet. Don't expect that you , the average HN reader, knows better than reviewers with relevant backgrounds.

No, because it's absurdly stupid.

Ask HN: Why are articles critical of cryptocurrencies being flagged?

Your comment reads like satire. I see no rebuttal of the points made. Maybe a better thesis would be that cryptocurrencies provide a net-negative value to society.

Of course you're some newly created sock-puppet account too afraid to post under your real handle. COVID-19 will absolutely cause the death of millions in the US alone if proper steps aren't taken to reduce R0. If not from the dis

The problem is PHP calling an ordered map an array. Array in pretty much every other language means a sequence indexed by integers. Ideally the maintainers of PHP would rename it and deprecate the use of `array()` over a long period of time

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that experts in `Y` have fine-tuned cortical representations of `domain(Y)`.

Apparently the original experimenters who identified learned helplessness seem to now think they got it backwards: Learned helplessness is actually the default behavior of mammals, and we need to learn how to overcome the default state. ht

Personally, I learned most programming topics through individual effort. Pair programming can be great if the participants have a similar skill level while having nonoverlapping areas of expertise. But pair programming with one experienced

You seem to be exhibiting signs of learned helplessness. You can absolutely learn how to automate something, if you try. If you want normal, boring work to do why are you complaining about having nothing to do? The most normal, boring work

I've been in this situation in that our team had a stated goal, but it became obvious our manager was doing jack shit to enable us to accomplish the goal, and no one gave a fuck if I or the team was doing anything. In fact, the organiz

Marriage has legal consequences. Many of which don't exist for unmarried couples. Some of the legalities will make some people think twice before getting a divorce/leaving. I think that is more than enough to support the claim of:

Raising kids is hard enough with two dedicated parents. Marriage at least comes with the promise of staying together in the long term. Makes it a little harder for one partner to just leave. I have two kids. The idea of raising them by myse
