If a low-level module has an unexpected ValueError or ZeroDivisionError, I don’t want that to be inadvertently caught and hidden by my except clause. In general, I want truly unexpected errors to propagate to the top level and generate a proper crash.

Only in the case of code where I really need to do something if a specific operation fails, for whatever reason, do I use “except Exception:” or its even more catch-all variant, the bare “except:” clause. And even then, I very often just use it to log a message or send an e-mail, and re-raise the exception again afterwards.
There's no such thing as a passive user to facebook through. There are accounts with no activity at all and are simply dead, and accounts with activity. That's it.

It makes something terribly wasteful a little bit less terribly wasteful. Especially as the generated bitcoin "value" is still 99% speculation.

That heat generation must have terrible efficiency ratios, electricity is the most ineffecient general source of heat in the first place and these things require additional energy to transport the heat they generate away (i.e fans) so they stay functional. I can't think of a more inefficient way of generating heat. Maybe some people here have fun coming up with more ineffecient heat sources.
All the energy in the superconductors magnetic field is suddenly released into heat, which will make it get hot and boil off all the helium it's sitting in.

The generator will then have no magnetic field, so generate no power, and start to spin faster and faster.

Hopefully there are some breaks to stop it before this happens:

The model is fairly similar to CVS, which also keeps histories of files instead of a history of the repository. The ability to have half of your repository come from one "branch" and the other half from a different branch is actually seen as a feature. This enables workflows similar to what you can do with submodules in git.

Having to manage your config specs and the inability to go back to old versions of your software (or in fact just have something reproducible for your build servers) unless you meticulously label everything makes Clearcase of course barely useable. It gets extra interesting if you use multi-site Clearcase and your replicas stop synching.
Also these aerial photos were available before the internet. Eg. in Ireland you had to buy them from OSI (Ordinance Survey Ireland) Google simply collected them all for every region and stitched them all together, and also made them free! Which is quite handy.

I am so thankful that I came across a comment about Sarno's book here on hn! I had tried sooooo many things. I was frequenly getting completely locked up in my back - it was all just a tight ball of pain. Then Sarno told me it was because I was manifesting repressed emotions in my body, and b-i-n-g-o. As soon as I started asking myself "What's bothering me?", "What am I upset about", and gave myself time and permission to actual feel those emotions, I could feel the knot melt away.
It also depends on culture i guess.

It's totally not my thing either. But I still appreciate and respect it deeply.

Totally not my thing, I didn't even own a TV, my girlfriend dragged me along. I watched the people watching the TV. They related to each other thru this one shared cultural experience. For a brief time, most everyone's minds were synced.

Sometimes I envy people who connect in those ways.

Main cost of neodynium:

* Magnets themselves

* Support structure for a heavy generator

* Energy 'iron losses' in magnet hysteresis.

Main costs of superconductors:

* Superconducting material

* Upfront cost of chillers

* Energy loss in chillers.

For bigger and bigger turbines, superconductors will always win, since the material is cheaper, and chiller cost and energy loss scales with the power generated ^ (2/3), whereas the support structure needs to be both taller and stronger so scales with ^(3/2), so superconductors always ends up eventually cheaper.

Sarno actually recommends going to a psychologist and talking about your emotions as his number one prescription.

But you could try to just "do it yourself" by learning to recognize and give yourself permission to actually feel your emotions. Ask yourself if you are angry, frustrated, irritated, annoyed, afraid, anxious, hurt, or upset in any way. Because it is these kind of "negative" emotions are the ones that tend to manifest themselves as pain in your body if you ignore them for too long.

Then let yourself just feel that emotion for a while. Really just sit with the emotion and don't get distracted by thoughts. Just feel it. And then after you are sure you have felt it as strong as you can feel it, then you try to think about what might be causing it. Really articulate it well to yourself in great detail. What exactly happened at the moment that the emotion started, who was there, what did they they do and what did you do? And then try to name the emotion. Put it into words what it is you are feeling. And then the last step is to ask yourself what you have learned from this situation. If you could do anything differently or see things differently when a similar situation happens in the future.

> How can you be sure about this?

It’s not a hard and fast rule. Just one enforced by economic interests.

> when I watched that Herbalife documentary I assumed the whole thing was paid for by Ackman and therefore of dubious credibility

You aren’t the target. Current shareholders are. Short-seller messaging is almost always primarily aimed at current long holders. (Since short sellers depend on long holders as a source for borrowed shares, a relationship which isn’t reciprocated in long holders needing short interest to make their investments work, inducing more shorts isn’t a feasible strategy.) The message shows bias from the position, but as an investor, someone betting on their message is more material than the bias. They decided, after all, to bet on the message before they themselves were biased.

(When long holders aren’t the target, regulators are. This was the Herbalife strategy. In those cases, too, a broad PR strategy is too expensive relative to the desired results.)
This is dishonest. I’d counter on almost every point. I’m speaking as someone who lived there for over 10 years. I’m back living in London, UK, the opportunity difference is a wide chasm.

> "I can assure you that marrying a man who can afford to feed and house you is better than marrying a man who can't afford that"

It is nice to see that the open secret being spoked out aloud. It is the basis for the counter argument by MRA that instead of bias against women, it is different incentives for men and women that is driving men to get money and power in disproportional amount. This then lead to stereotyping and sexism where a large portion of society assume and even associate those desire with male gender, and they judge male worth and social status based on it.

> They envied me the fact that I had been home with my kids.

From a social status perspective I am not surprised. I would hazard a guess that if you instead told them how you worked for months on a oil rig for a heavy pay check while the kids were young it would generate a very different response. The difference in how social status is gained and maintained is significant for men and for women.

To then go to actual solutions, developed countries does not have a significant different view on social status and gender roles. The gender expectations if anything has an even large impact if we look at places like Sweden, often called the Gender-equality paradox. Bride price does not exist in developed countries simply because children there are not expected to support the parent. There is multiple ways for men to signal wealth so that aspect of bridge price is resolves through other means such as expensive ring, clothing, cars, restaurant dinners and other social status signals. In order to eradicate the practice of bride price you have to distance the dependency that parents has on children when they grow old, and how important a large family is for survival and success.

Yes, I think that is the case. New social networks add very little value nowadays, which is a long term indicator that the will not continue to grow in value in the way they have so far. Personally I would not invest in the long term with FB.
I would do something like "never connect to <ProtonMail> using Chrome", but yeah, policy is probably less important than content.

There where an article a few month back, from Norway I believe, where someone claimed that by raising shipping cost just slightly the saving by having certain products manufactured in China would be completely negated. The cost increase could be emission taxes on container ships.

The take away seemed to be that right now China is very depended on keeping shipping costs low for a large number of goods. Otherwise they are no longer able to compete on price.
But they can slow down the traffic or disconnect it completely. If an entire countries 5G infrastructure is built by a single company that can push updates to the infrastructure, then it can completely disable it.

IMO this "attack on intellectual property" is probably used to create their own world class technology. The USA attacked European IP centuries ago to build its own industry.

But compare attacks on IP with politically relevant incidents like these:

You can quite easily do stuff like mutation calling and differential gene expression analysis with subsequent gene set enrichment analysis for free on a standard computer. You'd need to know what you're doing of course, but in terms of costs, it's definitely manageable. That's if they provide you the raw data, though, which doesn't seem to be the case with a lot of providers.

>>> I'm as much in favor of stopping terrorism and most other crimes as anyone else, however I am far from convinced that blanket spying is an effective way to achieve those aims, and the negatives are so great. There has been no discussion on whether the loss of our freedoms is worth the actual damage. The people did not vote on these laws. Instead it is secret this and secret that, and everything is by default classified for "security reasons".

I agree with you. We do need to have election-level discussions on the trade-offs of surveillance and security. These go hand in hand with similar discussions on privacy, handling of private/personal/personally identifying data (I am tempted to get my genome sequenced for 200 bucks, but you know the company involved will have my genome. Forever. What can they do with it. If they go bankrupt what can the purchaser do with it?)

These are big questions, and we will only grok then answers in a generation - but we should most certainly not assume governments or corporations will do the right thing without regulation.

>>> The safest thing is not to collect all that dangerous data at all

But there is a benefit to collecting it as well - from genomics to terrorists mothers phone calls.
