> All the inmates participating in Molero-Chamizo’s study are volunteers who’ve signed consent forms, yet they’re also in an inherently coercive situation. Under those conditions, the ethicists ask, is it even possible to meaningfully consent to an experiment like this?

Seems like they are all volunteers so at least they are not forced to do it. But this being Spain you can not really trust it. They might as well have picked a bunch of mentally retarded prisoners and got them to sign the form by giving a few packs of cigarettes in return.
Yep the fan spinning up when nothing special is happening is infuriating - for me 99% of the time it's Debian's "unattended upgrades" which I now realise I should just turn off since I update/upgrade/dist-upgrade relatively frequently anyway.
AFAIK, when you become a US citizen, you take an oath or sign something stating that you renounce all other allegiances. It doesn't mean you have to communicate your previous country.

Brazil, for instance, rarely does anything about it. The only case I know of is of a woman who returned to Brazil after being wanted for murder. The supreme court then ruled that she had lost her Brazilian citizenship and handed her over to the US (which they would not do were she Brazilian still).

This is a pretty big deal. Vision has proved to be one of the more difficult areas to treat and affects a huge number of people. As developers, we’re also more likely to have eye issues. Laser treatments have not been very helpful for macular degeneration and side effects are common and can be just as damaging, so ophthalmologists have stopped doing them except to halt the most aggressive cases.

I think we should fund more research like this, as well as technological solutions.
What makes this piece so captivating? Despite the length, I can never start it without finishing it.

I think some of Biddle's writing and conduct has been awful, but he's written of having anxiety and depression, and even that weren't the case, these kinds of personal attacks on staff writers are unfair.

Better to criticize the publishers who encourage that behaviour, and perhaps exploit the writer's flaws for the traffic and drama it generates.
Boris Johnson, the British politician, was born in New York to British parents. When years later he tried to change planes in Florida en route to Mexico they would not let him into the USA without an American passport, his UK one was no good if he was born in the USA. So he renounced his USA citizenship, which he never knew he had, at which point they demanded his tax returns for his life, including a large chunk of the capital gains money he made selling a house in England. He had to pay up too despite never having had any connection with the USA except his birth. My point is not that this stuff is right but that it does happen, even in the USA.

Mysteriously we are all democracies yet still prisoners of our governments and unable to free ourselves?
Acoustic isolation is a motivator for double glazing in some locations. And the vents are small (6mm by 30cm full open).

Most Victorian era houses have 'air bricks' in various locations (terracotta bricks with a small grid of holes in them) and the houses were pretty leaky.

UK government is moving to remove *
cooking on open gas from the building regulations for new homes in a few years (big methane/burning fume generator). Eventually as post above parent says we will move to more rational ways of heating the houses. Piping an inflammable gas to millions of houses has always struck me as a bit strange.

(edit, kinda off topic but related to calling op-eds news)

Gannett allows their advertisers to run light promotional articles as op-eds. It's disgusting, ads made to look like a true opinion piece.

Read your local Gannett site, look at the local paper's op-ed. Look for articles ghost written by Physicians, CEOs, lawyers that talk about community. No notice aside from a brief mention of the employer of the person in the Story Highlights.
Just went and checked the box out, there is absolutely nothing about ceramic mugs, and lots of yada yada about Vitrelle. Not a hint that mugs are ceramic either, though you are right they are in fact ceramic. The box also has United Steel Workers (USW) logo. Deceiving is all I can say.
You and me both. Now days people send their kids off to college with a cell phone. When I went off to college my Mom gave me a roll of quarters to use to call home with. I used phone hacks instead and spent the quarters on beer :) Back then a roll of quarters bought enough beers to get you pretty buzzed.
Yet another casualty of moving production to China. I knew one of the Corning execs who headed up moving everything to China and setting up the factories over there.

At the time, regulatory costs in US were crazy, so plenty of motivation. For example, if an accident occurred in a single factory, OSHA would make all Corning employees everywhere go through training about it, even though the accident involved equipment and processes that only existed at the one plant.
What about glass? I always assumed that was pretty recycling friendly
This reminds me of a flash cartoon that circulated around 2001 or 2002 with a guy flying through air talking about all he had to do is mod probe or patch his kernel and was like a wizard in the classic kind of flash style animation...

It may seem ironic that the ecological policy is enabled by riches derived from extraction of their sizable oil reserves.

Nonetheless this is the pattern we've seen repeat time and time again through history: the more surplus (energy, power, human effort, etc.) is available, the more people can improve their living conditions. And people indeed show strong preference to have nature in healthy, beautiful state. It's all matter of having strong, efficient economy.
I have a Lenovo T430u running Kali, and it is rock solid. I love the keyboard, and I use the TrackPoint for CAD work in FreeCAD. I never feel like it is going to slip from my hands when I pull it from my backpack. It is so easy to open up, that I open it twice or more a year to clean out the fans, which are usually clean anyway; I like seeing the internals like a car mechanic who likes to check under the hood ;)

I considered the Lenovo Carbon X1, but it is pricey, doesn't have a number pad, and is at the ultra-slim form factor of a MBP or other similar notebook form factor.

The Lenovo T580 has the num pad, but the graphics card is the NVIDIA MX150, a mobile but faster version of the GeForce 1030. Not really an issue for me, but my son's Lenovo Yoga came with a 1050 two years ago.

Anyway, I've owned all sorts of notebooks, including MBPs, and have found the Lenovos to be my workhorses, and getting out of my way to get things done. Yes, the battery is only 4 to 6 hours, but for me, even traveling and living all over the world, it has never bit me work wise, only when playing.
I keep seeing these and going ooh and ahh and then I realise I’m happy enough with my hack job T440/450 hybrid frankenpad which cost pocket money in comparison.
Could it benefit from using something like IPFS?

You need both. From Hamming's You and your research:

``Knowledge and productivity are like compound interest.'' Given two people of approximately the same ability and one person who works ten percent more than the other, the latter will more than twice outproduce the former. The more you know, the more you learn; the more you learn, the more you can do; the more you can do, the more the opportunity - it is very much like compound interest. I don't want to give you a rate, but it is a very high rate. Given two people with exactly the same ability, the one person who manages day in and day out to get in one more hour of thinking will be tremendously more productive over a lifetime. I took Bode's remark to heart; I spent a good deal more of my time for some years trying to work a bit harder and I found, in fact, I could get more work done. I don't like to say it in front of my wife, but I did sort of neglect her sometimes; I needed to study. You have to neglect things if you intend to get what you want done. There's no question about this.
I run Linux exclusively on my fanless Chromebook and remote computers, so I guess I kinda do the same thing ;)
> then tweak a few module options to get better power saving

What, what these options are? Is there an answer to the mystery of "how to get power management working on a Linux laptop?".
The lenovo website lets you custom the hardware, and I chose a non broadcom, so an intel chip I think.
> This is not, for the record, "working out of the box".

I have no doubt that some other distros would work just fine without any changes, you're nitpicking.
the tolerance of the glass is on the box, right? so every customer should be able to compare it with other products before purchasing.

if it just says "shatterproof" or "break resistant", then that is rather vague of course, but that should be a warning in itself. (of course, brands are a thing, we are lazy after all, an re-evaluating products every time seems like a waste of time)

Interestingly, macOS has been the only OS where I have not had this be an issue. 95+% of the time the fans are off, and rouge runaway processes are quite rare (which is not true of say Linux or Windows, in my experience).

I really don’t see why these things are relevant at all.

It’s a personal Github profile. Why would anyone add thoughtful readme’s or a clean coding style if they’re the only contributor?

I mean, those things are great of course, but not sure if I’d expect it on Github.
It can run coreboot, too.

The "oh no, set elements are const but it's because the internals of the set objects are used to sort"-problem is as old as the STL. This has nothing to do with modern C++. The whole article is sub par because it describes a C++98 effect and tries to put a modern C++ spin on it. It doesn't discuss good and valid solutions of this problem, which is fundamentally about data structures, and it does not mention the mutable keyword. I liked the quote in the end though.
Everything you say makes sense on the surface. But it scares me a little bit.

Do you ignore all my half-done prototypes and junky hacks and experiments?

OP here
> Is there an answer to the mystery of "how to get power management working on a Linux laptop?"

Or even the easier question “how to get power management working on your Linux laptop”?
He might be knowledgeable but you got shipped what is colloquially known as a “shed” here in the UK. They’re ok when they work but when they don’t they can burn your house to the ground or empty your entire NAS to a random IP in China.

You never know if you’ve won.
I have a L450, it might not the top-notch quality thinkpad, but it's still pretty good. I have a chiclet keyboard, seems preferable. I had to manually remove the FN, INS, PGDN and PGUP keys though, for more comfortable typing.

Also choosing a graphic chipset instead of a laptop GPU seems like the best option.
Ha ha very funny. Yes, just try a lot of other distros until you find one that works, maybe.
I like your first addition, though really your 1 & 4 roll into the traditional "reduce" and "reuse", respectively.

I'd like to see far more internalisation of full sourcing, energy, and sink costs, as that's ultimately the most effective way to shift usage patterns, though this seems unlikely.
>parent company of Pyrex among others, is planning to merge with Instant Brands, maker of the very popular Instant Pot.

Talk about a highly advertised product.

Before Instant Brands starts spamming 'Mom posts', about how great Pyrex is, expect it to be heavy and burn your hands if it gets hot. My tupperware isnt like this.
I am yet to see a distribution that works out-of-the-box on a wide variety of hardware like Windows does. Sure, there are some distributions that generally work on most hardware, or some laptops that are “optimized for Linux”, but none of these come close to general hardware compatibility.
CentOS is RHEL, just without the branding. SLES and openSUSE share the same core packages. So you get the stable, well tested enterprise stuff.
If you tweak your power management daemon to force your CPU to stay in the lowest couple of SpeedStep levels, you can keep it much cooler at the expense of performance. This is effectively undeclocking on the fly. When you do something fancy, your CPU clock frequency will increase, but not enough to heat it to the point where the fans turn on.

Most MacBooks doesn’t turn their fans on until the aluminum bottom is tenderizing your lap (and/or melting the table). You could configure this on most non-Apple laptops, too, but running the fans earlier keeps temps down and probably extends the hardware lifetime.
"The fan only turns on if I’m doing something intensive like compiling go or scrolling in Slack."

Things like scrolling down a recent issue Web site are the main reason I'm not still using a vintage unmodified X200. I realise that the OA quote was probably tongue in cheek but I do find that surfing the Web has become a processor intensive activity!
Curious about the weight of X210--couldn't find it mentioned anywhere. I'm guessing such a feature-packed device must greatly compromise on the portability factor.

Why would THEY have to pay the costs, and not their customers? Presumably, if the costs for packaging would go up, packaging industry would also rice the prices to make up for it?
A lot of that world changing knowledge is a result of academia’s partnerships with industry. Consider the early radio lab at Stanford.

Academia as we know it is fairly recent. Many of the fundamental results in the sciences were discovered by people who weren’t academics but had a chill day job. For example, Newton.
When I first moved to the UK I was frustrated about the fact that I had to separate my food waste from my general garbage, or my glass from my general recycling. I can see now why it's a better system because the potential to reuse these materials is higher when they are separated at the source.

Not to mention the fact that cities have landfill/recycling centers you can drive to and get rid of anything and everything for free.
Only if you enable JS ;)
I've had this happen to a friend except it was stacked on top of each other. Trying to pull it apart when stuck ended up breaking the glass with the shard going into their hand.

Of course, with opinionated things like keyboards there will be people who love the exact thing you hate. Me, for example.
I look for things to chat about. That's it. If there aren't any then I'll find other things to chat about.

It's almost like a dating profile. You use the items as jump-off points to start a conversation and get to know the other person better.
Or your proprietary work you don't own IP to. Ironically, some look to GitHub to somehow correlate with employment history. Many employed are too busy sinking development time in source that's never releasable. Some companies may contribute to certain OSS projects publically but a lot of their core business code base is protected.
Some use GitHub as a portfolio, it seems. Mine is/was mostly a dumping ground of half finished ideas in my college days.
Oh I see what you mean. Yes, the US thing technically that doesn’t fall under the legal meaning of renunciation. One country’s laws isn’t recognized by another country’s which is why there are loopholes that can be exploited in multiple citizenships, and may also be why people get into trouble if they don’t understand the rights and responsibilities of their citizenship.

As someone who once held multiple citizenships, I’ve learned that the only laws that count with respect to citizenship are the laws of the country of citizenship (principle of sovereignty). Whether they enforce it or not is another question, but no laws of another country apply to citizenship of a given country.
Structured Logging: The Best Friend You’ll Want When Things Go Wrong
Out of curiosity how is one of two stick shakers activated obvious when each is connected to a different person? Is it common to ask “hey, is your stick shaker going too?” it seems possible that each pilot would assume the other was feelig the same feedback from the stick and go on troubleshooting elsewhere, but I have no experience with this.

You could drive about half a mile in a TM3 on that bigger battery (with heat and AC off).

You really should be able to cover a full day’s work on 80Wh.
I remember avidly reading Clifford Pickover’s books when I was in my late teens in the later half of the 1990s. Time: A Traveller’s Guide was the first I began with (after reading a brief endorsement by WIRED), later Keys To Infinity and so forth. An idiosyncratic collection of mathematical facts and musings.
You should see my X62, the battery is so bad. I even bought a "brand new" battery and it last about 2 hours. We don't notice it but battery technology has really pushed forward since a decade ago.

> That's interesting, in my second semester (Physics) a professor said to us in his introduction lecture that one of the biggest things you learn during studies is stress resilience.

Yet this skill is never taught. So in actual fact what he’s saying is “studies filter out the people who can’t learn stress resilience by themselves”
As a hiring manager, I glance at it and take a brief look at anything interesting. It’s good for talking points at the interview, perhaps to ask the candidate to expand upon and explain the work.

If the profile is empty, I close the tab and find something else to talk about. I will never, ever penalise a candidate for an empty GitHub profile. So many people just do not have time for open source and that’s totally fine.

GitHub activity helps lubricate conversation at interviews, but it should never be taken as anything other than a superficial representation of the candidate’s ability or experience.

You could most likely get an X220 for that amount. It has nice old non-chiclet keyboard (I like it even more than the X201 keyboard because it has big escape and delete keys) and is still plenty powerful.
