So, in other words anecdotal evidence, and an interesting sidebar, but really just some notes about one type of tissue sample across 28 people.

If it were any other look at any other tissue sample, what would you say about the sample size and the reliability of voluntary answers from subjects based on memory?

I actually looked that case up at some point. She was wearing some kind of pants of synthetic material which melted into her lap. She was quite elderly, so she moved slowly anyway, and was in a public space. The only way she could have avoided this becoming a serious burn would have been to promptly leap up and whip her pants off right then and there for all the world to see.

Now, I have done something like that in front of medical personnel in an ER, pulling my pants off when I realized they were the source of the exposure that was causing my throat to close up. Even I would probably hesitate to do so in the middle of a McDonald's knowing that I would likely be charged with something for suddenly getting naked in public. If the maneuver was successful in protecting against burns, good luck convincing people that you had to get naked to prevent being maimed. This woman WAS maimed and her case still gets dismissed in internet comments left and right, like yours.
They exist but most can not serve as drop in replacements for various reasons. Appropriate funding (which most lack) would enable such projects to tackle the many, often hard to solve details to get there. Moreover these things come and go, you don't want to jump the ship and then realize that there are effectively no contributors left because all of the few were hobbyists or researches who have no time anymore or moved to doing something else.

Paying the other side's legal fees is enough. The problem with injecting vengeance under a veneer of deterrence into the justice system is it dissuades honest suits. The risk of being "right" but not legally correct (per the court's interpretation) becomes too great.

Something like that happened to a Tesla, here.[1] The Tesla is the car in front in the left lane, not the one taking the pictures with a dashcam. There's a construction barrier that's inconsistent with the lane lines. The Tesla plowed into the barrier.

This shows why the Tesla approach isn't good enough. The vehicle is on a freeway, an supported environment for the old "Autopilot". Everything is going just fine. Until there's something unexpected the system can't handle, appearing fast enough that the driver couldn't take over in time.

Tesla is somewhere between Level 2 and Level 3. Good enough that the driver is tempted to tune out, not good enough that they can.

"...It chooses an interpretation ... But the compiler was just working from what it knew, and under the assumption ..."

Why should it do that? Just stop compiling and yell at the user, demanding proper code. I'd not let the code you gave as an example pass any review because it is not clear what the author intended.
I'm not going to dispute your assertions regarding his character, politics, or technical competence.

However, it is clear that he did not invent email as we know it today. This claim has repeatedly been debunked. He wrote an interoffice memo system called EMAIL which is, to my knowledge, unrelated to the development of SMTP and the ARPANET systems that preceded it. Those ARPANET systems predated Ayyadurai's EMAIL program(s).

He did not win against Gawker. Gawker happened to go out of business due to a separate defamation lawsuit while Ayyadurai's lawsuit was still pending. Gawker decided to settle the lawsuit instead.
It's fine to have unpopular opinions. I'm not bashing on it. The way I see it is, at some point in the future we will have to expand. I don't see any reason why we should not try to at least develop part of the technology now. I understand the argument that, right now, the technology is pretty expensive and we might not get too much out of it. But surely we will have to do it at some point in the future. I think it's nice someone is willing to put the time and effort to at least try. As far as I know, neither of us will have to put a dime into the project. I completely respect your opinion, but it's hard to understand why it is so bad for a guy to spend billions in a technology that will be fundamental in the future.

Regarding the third point, although it might be fundamentally misaligned with what you want to read, the Reddit system does do a very good job at highlighting what most people want to read (for better or worse.)
His explanation for that is the definition of "email" by wikipedia is wrong, and only him know the right one.

The thing that surprised me is how much it sounds like 'real' music, like this could have been an entirely deliberate and valid choice by a composer. It has a sort of surly, menacing urgency to it that i'm sure i've heard in some kind of rock/metal music, although i can't think of any examples.

If you don't think Infowars is a serious news outlet, maybe you haven't watched them? In about 20 years they have had I think 3 retractions, which a propaganda rag like CNN or the Washington Post has to do weekly.

I would wish that HN would have more people who care about primary sources - that is what my academic training taught me. Perhaps if you listened to any of Bannon's speeches rather than malicious rumor and hearsay, you would have a different opinion.

Adsense revenue accounted to half of my monthly revenue ($100) 4 years ago. Nowadays, thanks to adblockers, it's only 10% of it and my monthly revenue is down to $50. Most of my revenue comes from a direct ad that adblockers can't detect.

Adsense is dead to small publishers.

As someone born during a transition from "democracy where communist party gets all the seats every time because everybody loves their glorious leader Tito" to real democracy, I can tell you from personal experience that there was shitloads of propaganda in everything my parents and grandparents had access to.

I've read books and comics from the 50s and 60s in Yugoslavia and I can tell you that the Communist Party can do no wrong, the Partisans were all heroes built like Superman and who never ever commited any war crimes, and Tito himself was a poor lad who rose from nothing to ultimate power just because of how awesome he is. And of course we all are equal in everything, if someone feels unequal or god forbid better then they are stealing and robbing and doing bad things.

The history books I was taught from in the 90s and 00s painted a very different picture.

I was dismissing the claim that this was "PWR core" hot water, which would be > 100°C. Selling superheated liquids would indeed be grossly negligent because they can flash-boil just by handling them. Merely hot water on the other hand does not pose that particular risk.
In the pre-win95 era, I think more MS programs had easter eggs than lacked them. Both solitare and minesweeper had cheat-codes (I used the latter to defeat my sister's high-score of 14s on small, getting a 2s. She was ufrious, erased all the high-scores and spent days getting her score back down to that).
WHAT’S THE BEST WAY TO HAGGLE?
They could just not load (or even ship) the 32bit libraries unless they were needed. My guess is they don't want to develop and maintain 32bit versions of all their frameworks, especially newer features like drag&drop. (For the hardware part I don't know enough to say whether or not keeping a 32bit armv7 mode around is costly?)
The problem is, our society right now only pays for "physical stuff". Hardware and services that are made and performed by people (who are usually in poverty).

However, think of all the artists/musicians/journalists that spend just as much "work" producing this content that you consume for free on the internet. We haven't figured out how to pay those people yet, except through internet advertising.

Now look at the most profitable company: Google. We make pretty much all of our record profits through advertising. Yet everyone hates advertising, and it's only getting worse, as evidenced by the ad-blocker wars happening right now. Lets get rid of the middle-man advertisers, and pay those content creators fairly for their work. UBI is one way to do this.
I think because now they have AMD GPUs for some years.

I have a MacBook Pro from 2013 and I think it was the one before the last to have a Nvidia GPU.

Also, it's always an headache for me to get CUDA to work with Python/R libraries anytime I update the system and I have yet to find a straightforward guide that tells me exactly the steps to take... they all fail at some place.
As people tend to re-use shell commands, editing them as they go, I can totally see someone doing like curl XX | less and then curl XX | sh or something. If the download is relatively speedy.

You could argue this is one of the reasons less doesn't interpret control codes by default. As it would let applications hide stuff like that to redraw the screen.

For some years, I got a check from AdSense about once a year or so. Then with the adblocker wars, I didn't see a check for about two years. Their payment threshold is $100, so I was making something like $100 or so a year-ish. With getting more traffic, my numbers in recent months are looking more promising than that, but it is still looking like "not enough to be obligated to report it on my taxes." (In the US, that means under $600 annually, which I am not on track to be anywhere near. But I might get a second check before the year is up?)

There are legal requirements that are implemented as automated checks by photo booths here so that the photo is made sure to comply, so that official offices don't have to do so. The effect of this regulation is that the expression and lightning is so unnatural that the photo on my ID card only looks like me in a very uncanny way, very similar to that render.

tl;dr: on my ID card I look like my digital psychopathic serial killer brother.

I'm afraid the craziest aspect of this story is that she wasn't even being vile, she actually believed that he wants to be dead and tried to help him. They had been planning it together for a few days, she threatened to "get him help" if he keeps hesitating, also:

I fucking told him to get back in [...] because I knew he would do it all over again the next day and I couldnt have him live the way he was living anymore I couldnt do it I wouldnt let him

Perhaps you think you are merely being pedantic, but the overall effect is to be dismissive of the case referenced. If that is not your intent, then you are framing your remarks here rather poorly. It would be fine to say something like "That sounds hyperbolic because (FACTS), but (affirm that the lady was in fact seriously injured)."

That is not what you are doing. Given context, the effect of your comments comes across as dismissive of the case.
They don't have retractions because they don't care about accuracy, whereas places like CNN will issue retractions or corrections for anything as simple as a spelling error. Your argument is like saying a football team is the best team in baseball because they've never lost a baseball game.

I was not previously aware of this aspect of the story. I will note that it is very common for men to make their emotional crap the problem of some woman they are romantically interested in, even if she has zero desire to be with him.

That doesn't excuse or justify her behavior. The correct thing to do would be to "get him help" if that was within her power. But sometimes there is a thin line between stalker and boyfriend, especially in online relationships. And she was just 17.

If you've been there a while it sounds like a good time to explore your options. You don't have to accept a new offer, but my experience is that it's probably going to get worse before it gets better. By the time they turn things around you could be making 20-30% more in a new role somewhere else.
This is purely a personal preference but less visibility is precisely why I prefer to work remotely. I don't want to be visible, I don't want a promotion, I don't want a presence. I just want to crack on with fixing/implementing stuff and touch base with people as the need arises. Working like this makes me happy and I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything.

Everyone is different of course and that's fine, I understand that visibility is important to lots of other people. But for some of us it really isn't, and we do okay without it.
Currently the SI is making the triple point of water fixed. I think his point is to make the Boltzmann constant fixed, like the SI is doing for the speed of light, and derive the Kelvin from there. For example 1K could be the temperature at which an atom of (insert some gas here) has a mean kinetic energy of 1.3806488 * 3/2 * 10^-23 J.

However, you have to make sure the definition can be made into an experiment, unlike the old Ampere definition from the article. A definition that mentions perfect gases wouldn't work, if no actual gas exists that can provide a better precision than the triple-point experiment.

Edit: the Kelvin is changing too: https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2017-04/pb-rft040517...
> They might be happy to get about Dutch style, on a bicycle. To most Americans that mode of transport is unthinkable for things like shopping or bringing up a family, but the Dutch do it.

Unfortunately you lost nearly all your credibility by using the Dutch as a positive example. The Dutch economy is overwhelmingly based on the extraction, production, and export of natural gas, chemicals, and fuel [1]. This doesn't seem environmentally friendly to me.

No matter what law you pass or what incentive you give, recent college grads (I'm a liberal from Berkeley, myself) will find a way to maximize my utility at the expense of the environment. Corporations do this and so do millions of people around the world. Even the Dutch are not immune.

If you want to truly save the environment, go work in battery science and solar production. Because right now, even in HN's beloved Scandinavian countries​, oil and gas remains their number one industries. The Norwegians especially know this and are milking it for all it's worth. How will you convince them if you can't convince me - someone not distracted by the billions of dollars involved with oil and gas drilling?
