Re:US orders 2,200 Marines to Middle East on Friday March 13, 2026 @11:33PM (#47373065)
Was it announced by the Trump admin? Taking Kharg island is an bad escalation, Iran can prolong this war by not touching the island but bombing other oil refiners instead
Is it the lack of intensive AI analysis? AI can review satellite images over time and suggest if the building is civilian or not. School activities are very obvious

I couldn’t imagine how they can combine as the hygiene of this food place must be terrible. It’s like buying a sandwich from a car mechanic shop
Re:Show HN: The pure Python SaaS starter kit on Sunday April 30, 2023 @03:36PM (#35765887)
I’m not a fan of writing front end code with Python or any language other than JS/TS. How deep can I customize or build feature rich UI? I still think the best combo is Rails/ Django API with Nextjs client
Re:Finnish as a world language? on Friday August 26, 2022 @03:45PM (#32611898)
Neither Finnish or English is my mother tongue. I spent 8 years in Finland and the rest in the US as an adult. It’s really hard to learn both languages at the same time because of little similarity. My English suffers while I can start conversation in Finnish. Now English is my main language and I couldn’t remember much Finnish.

Overall it’s all about where I call home

Re:Proof of stake is incapable of producing a consensus on Sunday November 28, 2021 @11:13PM (#29376283)
You didn’t answer the parent post. Your point was, in game theory, there’s no benefit in attacking the network or the loss is huge that it doesn’t worth the the attack. The parent post gave the counter point that there could be a benefit which we haven’t thought. If Dr Evil is heavily invested in 2 network, he might destroy one to focus on the remaining. The chance of the attack is low but it is not zero
Would anyone help explain what this project does? I had trouble understanding the concept or what project will solve
Not true, the net positive is just a hypothesis, in reality they will become bonus and stock grant for the execs

I need to hear the story from the other side. But if this is true, this is a horrible boss to work with. I’m surprised how OP could endure working for more than a year. There’s no bad job, just bad manager. It’s quite easy to look up this person in Linkedin. Hint: his initials are reversed
Re:Fictional Cryptocurrencies on Saturday February 13, 2021 @03:20AM (#26122214)
You’re describing credit card fraud and more often the banks eat up the loss and issue your credit back. They don’t bother investigating further then write off the loss in tax. Wire transfers are usually available to withdraw immediately so it’s really hard to recover. Some wire frauds take months to recover via court system. That’s why real estate wire fraud is popular and more complicated over time. Overall crypto is not as bad as you think.
Re:Ruined over Ripple/Xrp Losses on Thursday December 24, 2020 @01:53PM (#25530239)
You must have invested in other coins as well, how's the bull run? Could they offset your loss?

Any source to back this statement? I’m curious if fed actually destroyed the money after repayment

Re:Show HN: Copy tweets to Bitcoin's blockchain for $9 on Wednesday April 25, 2018 @04:48PM (#16925980)
What is the size limit other than a tweet? Can it be expanded to articles? Also why? If twitter is down then I don't have the transaction id to look up the content.

Just out of curiosity, what can an average Joe do to protect his legacy and ensure good outcome for his family? Cancer insurance, any other options?

That. And having a baby, it helps with playing white noise, lullaby... especially when you need 2 hands on the baby.
Re:Z-order curve usage to decrease dimensionality to 1 on Monday June 12, 2017 @09:43PM (#14542402)
Can someone help explaining why this hash method could improve distance calculation for k-NN? What does it improve compared with Geohash or k-d tree structure?
The title is a bit misleading. Those 3-year-olds are 1.5cm shorter than average growth percentile. It doesn't mention the effect on adolescent height on the same diet, since most adult growth spurt happens on teenager age.
Not a clear yes.

  less than 60% of teachers think that pupils' academic 
  performance also improves, or in other words, the impact on their marks is seen to be lower than 
  on their learning

Mostly in Chicago, a few in Bay area. They just let the remaining LivingSocial staff in Feb.
I had the same urge to carry a small, capable device to make phone call and do development work. I don't need much RAM or storage as long as it's enough to rotate to one project sandbox. The closest I found so far is: http://www.solu.co

Re:Saddest Day: Macbook Pro Stolen While in San Francisco on Tuesday December 02, 2014 @03:17PM (#8689564)
Sorry to hear this. I think it's very rare to have things stolen from the trunk, were you followed or watched when you first parked the car?

Most credit card companies have car rental insurance to cover the damage to the car.

also thoughts are welcome
