Essentially, yes, but not exactly.

My understanding is that particles and anti-particles pop into existence randomly, but quickly cancel each other out. Normally this doesn't affect anything, but if they happen to pop into existance right on the border of the event horizon, one will fall in and one will fall away. Thus matter is very very very slowly "leaving" the black hole. But not because matter inside is making it out, but rather because of some interesting quantum features of the fabric of spacetime.

And the grid is getting greener and greener every year.

An electric car bought today that is powered by a coal plant today will be powered by solar/hydro/wind more and more each year.

A gas car will always run on fossil fuels.

The second line of the article: "The engine with 5 kN (500 kg / 1124 lbf) of thrust, generated the expected 20,000 horsepower"

Exactly. And, I'm assuming, it will reject any prompts or words in poor taste.

Yeah the lack of screenshots made me lose interest immediately.

If the local spray pilots aren't filing their paperwork and presumably not getting in trouble, isn't it reasonable that no one would care if you did the same?

It sounds like no one is enforcing those rules/laws.

Right, but isn't the expansion increasing? So if they don't merge into one big galaxy at some point the expansion would out run gravity?

Humorously, I almost bought a brand new Model S in 2017 when they announced full self driving because I was so excited by the tech and the promises.

Instead, I bought a used Model S with AP1.

I have never regretted that decision, it's been a great car. I do feel bad about everyone who bought into those promises.

I find it odd that you wouldn't factor the severity of recent security incidents into your vendor choices.

It appears to me that they did something clever and the wings and tail section look like they are shaped to generate lift if the vehicle is moving forward fast enough. There are two rotors at the back that blow backward rather than downward.

So possible a vertical take off multi-rotor that can then transition to more efficient (and quieter) plane like operation once up to speed.

In NACS the DC and AC pins are the same pins. The car only connects the charge port pins to either the AC/DC charger or to the DC battery after it communicates with the charger and tells the charger what voltage / amps it wants.

Fenix didn't die in LotV.

Does every new harry potter book or movie that comes out reset the timer on spoiling that dumbledore dies?

This isn't mickey mouse and disney extending copyright law into perpetuity, this is a nicety among people to not spoil things until people have a change to experience it themselves.

Is this what passes as journalism today?

Right? Like can we please get a user story on some agile board somewhere that says: "As a user, if the last 10 times I opened netflix I watched the same show, I should be shown the option to resume that show very prominently"

The number of times I've had to scroll or even search to find the thing that I very obviously want seems intentionally maddening.

It wasn't their fault, but the effects of lead on crime, personality, and mental health for that generation is clearly documented.

So yes, that generation is remembered for it. I don't think anyone is saying their grandparents deserved it or are to blame.

If you've used old style satellite internet and then used starlink, you'll know that this is not the same technology. Starlink has latency and bandwidth that doesn't even compare to the companies and satellites you are mentioning.

This is a tech and nerd forum. Let us be excited about new technology.

Actually USB is a great example.

USB C can charge at 5v, 10v, 20v, etc. When you plug in a device to the charger a hand shake happens between the charger and device and they choose the voltage and amperage that makes sense. A macbook pro can take 100W over USBC but obviously your headphones or phone aren't going to.

I felt the same. In the apollo program literally every step along the way had never been done before, and the problems were solved by smart people putting in good work and the result is that we developed a ton of new technologies and skills as a country.

He seems to be saying: don't try new things, keep in simple and just do what we did 50 years ago again. Keep funding the old aerospace giants (Boeing, Lockheed, ULA, and a hundred different contractor companies) rather than giving money to companies that are developing new technologies. This partially makes sense, since he and his dad and many friends work for those old companies and are probably threatened by the new comers.

What you are doing is effectively mental gymnastics to avoid admitting you used the incorrect word.

Right? I'm having a hard time imagining a definition that includes "trying new things and seeing what happens" but that doesn't include... "trying new things and seeing what happens"

batteries are incredibly inefficient compared to petrol

What are you getting on about? By what metric?

I think the creator can do that, so some use it creatively. Otherwise, the algorithm seems to pick the "most rewatched" places, so the most interesting part of the video will be interrupted by an ad, regardless of how jarring it is for the viewer.

Not every way.

I love the old bulletin boards and IRC channels where you get to know people, talk about projects, asking for help, etc.

Discord fills that role in a much more accessible way than posting on a forum or googling a stack overflow answer.

Both hae value. Apparently you much prefer a less real-time interactive approach to solving those problems.

Which part? Sometimes the right thing to do is to speak up in public and offer a different opinion, sometimes the right thing is to have a private conversation.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, which part do you feel is snake-like?

Interesting. If the computer can simulate things that a human wouldn't have thought up, great, but if it's considering things that any sane person knows wouldn't work and passing them off as correct, framing it that way is laughable.

That's not brilliant, it's just wrong. If your AI behaves in a way that makes me not trust what it tells me, that's a bug not a feature.

But then again, many discoveries have been made because someone trying something that shouldn't work.

You could use the waste heat from the heat pump (standard A/C) in step 3 to heat/dry the desiccant in step #1. That heat is, like you said, just dumped outside now. Why not make use of it?

HN in general doesn't like "editorialized" titles. HN titles are meant to be a factual representation of what you are going read without the attention grabbing (albeit clever) title.

I see what your saying, but your examples don't quite work.

A reporter telling lies would presumable be called into their managers office and told to shape up or be fired. A painter doing rush jobs would get bad reviews and no referrals, and eventually stop getting jobs. Those behaviors are not incentivized.

A youtube creator milking the algorithm is rewarded for this behavior, with more views, more ad money, etc.

Are we really surprised that people are doing what they are incentivized to do?

Fascinating. There are rules of the social game that people usually follow, but can be subverted in a move that cashes in reputation or "social capital" for a short term gain. If you do it too often, you lose favor and people will stop offering you things repeatedly, and you are expected to pick up on the social cues. I can see how that creates more social wiggle room than a strict set of rules that everyone is expected to always follow.

Closer in terms of what? Distance? delta-v to get there? Time to get there?
