I think Soylent is stupid, but I stopped reading after I saw the article was front-loaded with a review of Soylent's marketing image and some bland musing related to the way modern labeling is scary because of it's inaccessibility.

I'm sure if I followed her as an author - rather than for the subject matter - I'd feel differently. But I didn't go into this blog looking to read someone talk about whatever while being quirky and making it about themselves. So I just found her personality really grating.
> Every time you charge a battery it helps to throttle charging if the temperature is out of range. Tesla has always done this; there's an extra fan that's Extremely Loud and I only hear it when I'm supercharging on a hot day.

That's one of the three reasons Tesla gives for throttling the charge rate.

> In the article you linked, the customer appears to have noticed a slight decrease in the peak charging rate.

From 120kW down to 90kW peak charging rate is only slight? I realize it's peak and not average but a 25% reduction is only considered slight?

Also you said that Tesla disagrees with me about the affect of DC fast charging on battery life. The statements from Tesla seem to agree with me and they have implemented technologies to mitigate those effects in the form of peak rate throttling over time.

You seem to misinterpret Tesla saying it's fine to DC Fast Charge to mean that it has no detrimental affects when they really mean that they have protocols in place to ensure the pack will not degrade to the point that a warranty replacement is necessary.
Ah, but can you copy that file to the PC?
Likewise cable TV. You pay for a subscription and you also see a lot of ads (more than on OTA TV, which is one of many reasons I cut the cord.) In the early days of cable networks, many had no ads because it was thought they could survive on subscription revenue. That idea didn't last long.
Perhaps because they discovered it on TC and wanted to give them the due credit. Or perhaps they felt the editorial content added value to their understanding or context.
Just out of curiosity, can you even maintain proper form with any type of intense workout training? I'm not a fitness guru by any means, but I've been working out fairly consistently for almost 7 years now and, to me, anything more than 4 or 5 proper sets will start taking toll on the form, at which point it's best to switch to another muscle group or stop all together. If you don't have the form, what are you training?

> Does the concept have to change, or the democracy? From where I sit, no one's party or idea does matter, it is all theater.

I was responding to what I thought was a conception of democracy as "majority rules", which is a simplistic and dangerous notion of democracy.

What you are describing is something I do not understand. For example, how is Education Secretary Betsy Devos' advocacy for for-profit charter schools and vouchers not a direct representation of the ideas held by a large majority in her party?

Granted, there are people on both sides that have been complaining about it for years. Either because "My Team"... or because "Government Bad" (I especially agree with regards to Asset Forfeiture)...

But there are a large number of people who are only NOW raising hell about drone bombs, travel bans, EO's, Scotus decisions, etc, etc, etc...

Where was the ruckus during the last 8 years of horrible decisions, bad direction, over reach, etc?

I'm not saying it doesn't need to be address... but the amount of "My Team" that goes on is... maddening...

That's how DOS worked with FAT16, yes. It will still apply to files on USB and SD cards (FAT32), but internal Windows drives will be formatted with NTFS.

The FAT entries are cleared, so if the file is fragmented, reassembling requires knowledge of the format. Also, Wikipedia tells me that FAT32 directory entries also have some bits cleared, so the right data on disk may not be found.
> Over the next two days, her legs throbbed with excruciating pain, her urine turned a dark shade of brown, and she felt nauseated. Eventually she went to a hospital, where she was told she had rhabdomyolysis, a rare but life-threatening condition often caused by extreme exercise. It occurs when overworked muscles begin to die and leak their contents into the bloodstream, straining the kidneys and causing severe pain.

Terrifying.
Yeah, my SSK is an '87. There's definite differences in terms of weight and key wobble, and the keycaps on the Unicomp are less sturdy.

Plus I do actually have a USB model, and it can be flaky and require a replug at startup. And the pointing stick has different sensitivity based on which direction you're going, which makes it worthless.

Also, I just like the tenkeyless layout.

The benefit to a new Model F is I'll never have to worry about needing to do a bolt mod, and you can actually move the barrels around to a different layout if you want to. Plus, with the XWhatsit controller, you can program it and have layers and whatnot, and bug-free USB. And the case is metal.

The Unicomp stuff is comparable, but I think it's a reach to say it's totally the same.
Besides the kernel, there is very little of "desktop" (or should i say GNU/Linux) present in Android.

They used Busybox (switched to Toybox at some point) for the core utils for example.

And the GUI stack is all custom to Android. No X11 etc (You can however install some APKs that allow you to run X11 programs locally. A reminder of the flexibiliy of X11, imo).

To get Android apps running on ChromeOS (based of Gentoo, iirc), both developed by Google, they had to "containerize" the Android environment.

This should be a good indication of how divergent from desktop Linux Android has become.

In a sad twist of irony, the best cure for my own periodic bouts of depression is intense exercise, controlled diet, and throughly enjoying the way I look and feel as a result. There must be a strong correlation between the decline of the healthful lifestyle (i.e., not so many sedentary jobs) and SSRI prescriptions.

I've seen a lot of people at my open gym get rhabdomyolysis. It almost always afflicts fit newcomers, or people returning from a break, who push themselves more than they should because they think they are fit enough for the intensity. Like the article says, you need to ease into an exercise regime, regardless of how fit you are.
I appreciate the effort that people are putting into the switches themselves, but agreed, updating the layout is where the real gains are found. I've used Kinesis keyboards for 20 years--I now own four of them of various vintage--and I'm surprised they never found broader adoption. There's so many benefits:

- Key well is cupped so all key rows are near-equal distance; you don't need to move your hand around.

- Key columns are vertical, no angular stretches for your fingers.

- Modifiers are right under your thumbs, no hand movement required. Emacs users rejoice!

- You can remap those keys under your thumbs. I remapped one to control-space ("set mark" in emacs), which is lovely.

Adaptation really isn't that hard. Unlike "big" changes such as switching to Dvorak layout, adapting to the Kinesis Advantage doesn't take much training. It took me about 2 weeks to get back to speed, and much of that was because I was a sloppy typist when I switched. (The Kinesis pretty much forces you to touch type correctly.) By contrast, switching to Dvorak took me about 2 months.

EDIT: for completeness, a couple disadvantages of the Kinesis: 1) Escape key is not mechanical, it's on a row of gummy-feeling function keys. vi/vim users will probably want to remap one of the thumb keys to escape. 2) It's not great for gaming, I still use a traditional-layout mechanical keyboard for games.
The Al Capone theory of sexual harassment
I mean, I guess giving up and letting your family or yourself starve is an option.

For a lot of folks in low wage positions, the mere act of looking for an alternative puts their current wages in jeopardy. Their employer may decide they're now disloyal and sack them. They bring home less money because they have to spend unpaid time searching for a new gig -- they'd do it outside of work hours, but at some point you have to sleep and feed the kids, right?

What happens if/when my engineer leaves?
I have a fear and it may be irrational.

I have a solid business idea. High value market, boring industry, very very conservative with loads of compliance issues.

The business requires an experienced AWS (or similar) systems admin. Up-time and security is very important and the main selling point.

They are a key hire to keep everything running smoothly.

BUT, there is not enough work there for 2 system admins and I cannot imagine a bored sys admin would get a lot of job satisfaction and stick around long.

If the 1 sys admin leaves, gets sick or gets hit by a bus that puts a lot at risk.

What do companies do in this situation?
If they did leave I would imagine there would be a lot of time to get a new one up to speed.
Do companies just bite the bullet and hire two?
Do they contract an outside company who can swop in and out staff as needed?

I am trying to figure out all the options so I can budget accordingly.
Also, waaaayyyyy too many people really underestimate and under train for high intensity stuff like marathons these days. Fitness has become a fade that people are not backing up with actually putting the hard work in to be able to do things safe. A thing called Sudden Adult Death Syndrome has become very prominent in Ireland (including claiming people I knew personally.)

> You can choose your own rate, so you can go as low as $10, or go as crazy as, jeez, I dunno, $500.. although the higher you are, the more difficult it is to land a client.

I'm concerned about sites like Toptal and this price-cutting mindset they engender, because in a lot of cases, even 500 dollars is an awful rate.

For example, 500 dollars, for two weeks of full-time work, is $6.25 / Hr. If you are an American developer, this is an unconsiderably low rate, literally less than minimum wage, in a field where salaries of about $30 / Hr are unheard-of low, even for entry entry engineers.

If it is hard to land a client at these fair rates on services like TopTal, in a lot of cases this would be a good reason to avoid that service and to seek either more traditional work or independent freelance opportunities.

I also feel it's important for freelancers, at least if they're based in America, to defend the value of their work that demands months or years of technical training. Yes, I'd agree the entire situation changes if you're a developer from a different country in which being paid something like 10 dollars an hour could support a family. However, I still encourage you to recognize that because most of the clients are based in America, they are more than capable of paying you rates far higher than $500 for good work, but people must first reduce their willingness to work at $10 to make $500 a norm. Be the change you wish to see, if you are capable.

In the end, choosing to work for higher-paying clients and avoiding clients who don't care about paying a fair market rate is about life satisfaction. If you are being paid 10 dollars for technical development work which will take longer than an hour, they don't care about you or paying you fairly. This means you can expect to be treated like the slave their hourly rate implies you are. If you work for clients which pay you market rates, besides the fact that they're paying you more, they will treat you better simply because they respect your time.
Ask HN: Why don't more companies post their traffic data?
I recently set up some quick analytics so I could see where my traffic was coming from. I then figured I couldn't really think of any good reason not to just put it live for everyone to see.

At the moment, I'm just showing a visit counter, a map and a few pie charts of traffic sources (https://www.allforone.io/analytics).

Is there any reason why I shouldn't be doing this? Is it somehow a security risk?

Eh I don't know if I would describe all employment contracts as completely voluntary. There are plenty of workers without the ability to change jobs easily. If you're broke, have kids, and have few skills, it's very hard to change careers.

I've tagged along with friends to various high-intensity workout "classes." (spin, treadmill, crossfit, etc). I never saw / heard form discussed at all. While they don't military-style push you, it's definitely a more intense / semi-competitive environment. It's motivating to some, but I can easily see how new people or ultra-competitive people get injured.

The classes are usually 30-50 minutes, they assume you know form already. With the teacher-student ratio they don't have time to show you anything. It's just start the workout and go.

Most of these places have like a "new person" workout that they run once a week. It's not required and I suppose experienced fitness people assume it's not for them.
I think that the most important thing I've learned about exercise (and it's taken me most of my almost 40 years to internalize it, and I'm still not great at it by any stretch) is that it's probably the longest game of all. If you're fortunate you're going to keep moving until the day you die, and the volume of work you do over that time between now and that day is so far in excess of the volume you can do on any given day that hurting yourself in an attempt to maximize today's volume is just ridiculous. It's easy to use that as an excuse to not do anything, unfortunately, but it's also a good reminder to slow down when your body tells you to.
The Selectric feel was particularly good in a few ways:

- it had a very light pre-pre-travel of a millimetre or so, providing distinct touching-but-not-pressing feedback;

- the force drop at the tactile snap point was so high it felt like the keyboard was actively trying to help you type;

- the post-travel was long and gradual enough that even an aggressive operator like me wouldn't normally bottom out.

IBM beam springs got part of the way by using two springs (one of them two-piece). Another spring or two, or some nonlinear springs, could probably do better.
My cynical view of this is that it's the final death knell for industrial work. Why hire someone with experience or talent when you just need a warm body to follow the ikea instructions and turn screws?

It reminds me of the dystopian short story "Manna"[1] where all workers wear a Google Glass like device and an AI controls them.

While the article is somewhat correct in that 'clean eating' is useless, what the hell is up with every single US News outlet literally stirring up racial tensions?

Back to the clean eating part - all my ancestors that I know of (grandparents, great-grandparents) at relatively unhealthy food. Tons of butter, lard, and carbs. True, it was natural-ish, they all grew up on a homestead, but far from the 'clean eating' ideal.

As for the racial tensions, WTF? Does every single article in every single outlet have to bring it up? All this does is make it worse in my experience.

The remarkable thing about the implementation is the algorithm, not the programming style. Doug Lea's programming style has always been, and always will be, somewhat... idiosyncratic. Much of it is because he must take into account truly low-level details of compiler optimizations (and you can see that the implementation changes from one Java version to the other). He always warns people not to code like him. In any event, the beauty of the code (like in all of Doug Lea's code) is not in the programming style but in the algorithm and the attention to detail.

I've given a shit for a long time. I live in a heavily one-sided state and I sit on the other side - so, for the most part, my vote doesn't matter.

What DOES matter is that the stuff people are RAGING MAD!!!! about is stuff that, for a large part, is no different from before. You can nit-pick over minor differences between Travel bans... but there was NO care about those bans for the 8 years prior.

My main point here... is people pick a team... and then lose their shit when their team loses. What's important isn't the Travel Ban (or whatever). Whats important is the "Other Guy's Quarterback" is calling the plays. Even if they are the same plays "My Quarterback" would have chosen - or has chosen repeatedly - NOW we are going to "resist".
