What is the charge of a photon?

For the charge to matter, you're saying that charges infer positive or negative mass. But that's original responder's point.... both the particle and anti-particle both have positive mass regardless of their charge, which is a different attribute.

Consider how it is you are conserving energy/mass in your thought experiment. Seems like you might be creating a back door whereby that mass/energy is not conserved in order to preserve charge conservation.

The theoretical maximum detonation velocity of a hydrogen /oxygen mixture is significantly less than TNT.

You're also not going to get anywhere near the theoretical maximum detonation velocity if it ignites because of a leak.

My point is comparing hydrogen to TNT is very misleading.

I just quit my job. Weltschmerz levels over 9000. A company who thought of growth and profit as the end all, be all. And I like to think of myself as a libertarian (whatever that means, haha) but infringing on others basic rights is a non-starter. I left to do some coding on my own and drastically downsize my lifestyle. I do my own projects, no VC money, small profits but fulfilling. Cook at home, spend time with my mom and dad and siblings. Travel on cheap buses and trains to see friends and cool places. Whatever brings you joy, do it. We live in a strange time, it can be a dark world out there. Never forget that, but surround yourself with those you love. Practice peace and compassion. I've made it to an equal median by asking myself, "Did I have a good life? and would those I care about be proud of how I carried myself." If yes, then you're good to go.

When I was an infant, I (apparently) struggled valiantly to avoid getting shots or having blood drawn. It hurt and the benefits of (e.g.) vaccines don't really make sense to a kid who has just learned to string a few words together. Nevertheless, my parents forced me to get them, and, as an adult who does not have several debilitating diseases, I'm glad for it. The idea is pretty similar here: the patient herself can be in a state where she's (not) making decisions that their unaffected self would. I'm a little surprised at the lack of deference to her husband, but 'alarmed' can cover a lot from "NO, NEVER" to "My God, is it really that bad?"

As I wrote above, I don't think ECT is great, but the evidence indicates it is one of the better options for drug-resistant depression. The side effects, especially for older approaches, can be pretty bad, but so is depression (and newer approaches seem to have weaker effects on memory).

I think you pretty much have to take her at her word here that she eventually appreciated the treatment. There's no way in hell someone is getting recommitted due to an article, especially not 30-40 years later.

But in zoom you do have a personal meeting ID, isn't what your describing just replacing that?

I do think it should be turned off by default though.

This is the core point of it.
I've been critical of youtube for some time, but if they are willing to forgo some revenue growth in to deal with the current problems, I applaud them.

Bloomberg, you can call them Nazis. This is not a racist uncle that everyone needs to deal with, who can sometimes be reasoned with. These people are literally Nazis.

> YouTube declined to share details on how it uses metrics to rank and recommend videos. In a January blog post, the company said it was hiring human reviewers who would train its software based on guidelines that Google’s search business has used for years.

It's going to be tricky to get this to work, and I'm sure google will make many mistakes by automating decision making to a degree where it will prove to be meaningless, but finally there's going to be some human moderation. Thank you.
Ahhhhh. So just a fancy covert advert masquerading as something interesting then. Thanks for the clarification.
It has been hypotesized that autism increase in the last decades might be correlated with the increase in the use of pesticides. Early damage in nervous system that leads to a permanent particular architecture in the brain and all the stuff.

Some gut bioma could theoretically be slightly better than other to deal with it. Some bacterias could be more efficient metabolizing some damaging products in our diet into other not so bad or even inocuous. Is teorethically possible.

Both problems could be related and in this sense is a pretty interesting field. They could just give to an artificial gut bioma in a petri dish some diluted compounds, (or just give some autist children organic cultured fruits and keep it in a pesticide free environment) and see what happens

Yes of course. Personally I use Life360. It's very handy. Even Google had an app like it, until (of course!) they killed it.
On a side note, the creators of YouTube ought to [at least informally] unionize. There's no reason Adam Neely should be getting copyright "strikes" for explaining music to the masses, or Cody's Lab should be forced to take down videos on mining with explosives [on his family's ranch]. YouTube needs to have a hotline for problem solving for their most profitable content providers, and until the creators collectively hit the pocket book, they'll face these disruptive yet easily solvable problems.

This is an avenue I had not considering exploring. I will have to research constraints on non profits and when they can be reported to the IRS for possibly violating those constraints and an evaluation can occur to consider revoking their 503c status.
That is the equivalent of deplatforming in a lot of ways, especially on youtube where millions of videos are uploaded daily. If your videos are not suggested, and do not show up high in trending or search results, then they practically don't exist except from word of mouth and outside promotion.
Huh that's interesting
This article, the HN comments here, as well as comments on /r/javascript, are helping to solidify my view that way too many frontend developers don't know enough about what they're talking about.

I really don't get the disdain against Web Components and their related APIs. Why even fewer people are excited about custom elements alone sort of baffles me.

WC's aren't intended to replace frameworks and libraries. It's there to provide some universal primitives for writing components, and a lot of components aren't actually complex enough to warrant all the heavy lifting that comes with things like React and Vue. Those tools are great, but I also really love the idea that I can write useful components without having to import a bunch of extras(eventually the polyfills will be obsolete).

The innerHTML function can be slow if your code is sloppy and you're applying it to the wrong problem. Yes, you might need a data-aware renderer like the one in React, but often times you might not. For a lot of simple things, you can render elements without it by using createElement(), append(), insertBefore(), insertAdjacentElement(), cloneNode(), etc. They're not hard to use, but they're not pretty like a templating language, and they're not going to surround you in bubble wrap. I'm not saying that those tools scale for bigger projects, but there are plenty of small things you could write using Web Component technology. It has its place.

If you do things like call innerHTML multiple times in a loop, when you really could concatenate your HTML and call innerHTML once, is fundamentally going to perform badly, but web developers seem to write that kind of terribly-performing code in all sorts of cases and when it runs like crap they just assume that they need to import a library that will use tricks to cover up their lousy code. It reminds me of how folks will write a pile of garbage with Rails, switch to Phoenix because their Rails app is slow, and then claim that Rails sucks at performance. That's not to say that Phoenix doesn't have clear performance advantages, but the claim that Rails is slow often comes from a place of ignorance. A lot of jobs warrant useful tools like Vue, but then again, maybe your code just isn't very good. It's really embarrassing how many of us don't write code to be efficient, opting to always stand on the shoulders of giants who do the hard work to make our lousy code appear to run fast.
So people are glibly conflating insufficiency of result with bad intent. I always understood that from mainstream news. You have to know how to read the news :) Once you predict the bias, herd-following, yellow journalism etc. you can filter it out.

The podcast app I use has this as an option, it's not mandatory. Personally, I wouldn't use it if I had to sign in, syncing is not a feature I care about one bit and I don't need even an ounce of friction between me and "Wait Wait Don't Tell Me." If I had to sign in to listen I'd just turn on the radio or something instead.

If its truly about improving consumer experience its optional. I am not required to login to Chrome or Firefox to use them even though some people find bookmark/history syncing to be useful features.
The point is that it changed in ways different to his twin's body, and some of those changes even reverted once he was back on earth for a while. It's pretty unlikely that this is all just an anomaly and the regular changes of a body over the course of a year independent of the fact he was in space.
If you use a Wiki for everything, no. However, that is unlikely. You'll have to search more than one place anyway. Making Slack your primary store of institutional knowledge is unwise. Chats are full of garbage, random discussions, old / bad decisions, etc.
Does this ever get bad enough to feel without touching something else to directly complete the circuit?

I would predictably get this when using laptop (on lap) and resting my arm on a metal heater next to me. I ended up returning a few AC adapters because the leakage was too damn high, and eventually they offered me a three prong version that came with many more regulatory marks.

The problem with two prong devices is that a designer has to assume either wire could be hot, because it could be plugged in backwards. I've got to wonder if a change in the regulations that would allow for a single cap to the probable neutral could solve this. It would double the leakage current if the thing were actually plugged in backwards, but as long as it was just more uncomfortable rather than dangerous this would be a win.

Also there are a few handwavey things at the bottom of the post that just leave me scratching my head:

> Even though the MagSafe power supply itself is not connected to the mains earth, there is just enough inductance leakage for the floating charge to dissipate through the plastic sheath of the mains cable.

There could be something to what is being said, but if there is he's not describing it well.

> It's worth noting that the fuzzy-electronics effect can be felt if you use an earthed power point but the power point's Active and Neutral are wired back to front

That's an odd diagnosis, because three prong means the output is being directly grounded. Instead, I would infer that the ground (EGC) was disconnected (like say an old home where someone improperly changed two prong to three prong outlets when remodeling).
Just curious, have you tried platforms such as https://www.vettery.com, https://triplebyte.com/ or https://hired.com/?
> I know that it intends to meddle with the election. Like I said, that isn't inherently a bad thing.

Whether it is bad depends on intent IMHO.

If it is simply to give information for a better informed public that's one thing. If it's to selectively target a particular candidate to fuck them over, it is another.

Would the "journalist" in question release similar, potentially damaging information on other candidates?

The purpose of ads is not just eyeballs. It's to get people to buy a product. If a lot of kids that watch YouTube all day see a Nike ad, it doesn't mean they'll buy sneakers.

There are more and more people that do nothing but be on the internet all day. Advertisers don't want those people, they want social people that watch YouTube on the side, and are likely to buy products too.

Nothing stops me, but affordances matter. Slack encourages group chats, so that's what keeps happening.
Yeah, lit-html scans template strings to determine what kind of markers to join them with - comments for text expressions, {{}} for attributes. This is before handing to the browsers HTML parser.

So what? You always pop up to complain about this, like it should be some obvious fatal flaw, but you never explain why it bothers you personally so much.

Does it make lit-html slower? No. lit-html scanning + native HTML parsing is faster than native JavaScript parsing of transformed JSX.

Are lit-html templates "opaque"? That's arguable. Tagged template literals were invented and added to browsers for a reason. lit-html takes advantage of a very nice browser feature, and then hands the result to the native HTML parser, which does understand them. I'd say it's no more opaque than compiled JSX: the browser has no way of knowing that those nested function calls represent HTML, so they're "opaque".

I'm going to continue to shrug every time you complain about this until you explain why it's even bad.
Not the parent commentator but I've been in both situations described above too. If I understand what's was written, it's that if you don't have the option of group/team chat rooms in the software you're using then, it forces 1:1 chat conversations instead. I believe GP is then describing how the dynamics are different in a group-level broadcast of information, versus a one on one chat.
I guess that's debatable, your point is that code that should be unsafe might not be, but then that did mean the unsafe code is wrong in a sense. It assumes an invariant that isn't enforced.
I would rather not support the New York Times. I find their coverage to be overtly biased, and don't think that's worth giving money to.

Digital Identity Guidelines (2017) [pdf]
Those labeled as "severe" aren't remotely likely to have their autism "resolve itself". Those labeled severe have the types of behaviors that tend to remain through the years. Children who are prone to self-injurious behavior, in my experience (two kids with autism, lots of exposure to other severe cases in the community), don't tend to outgrow it.

Those that you see able to 'mask' their symptoms are generally on the opposite end of the spectrum, sometimes referred to as 'high-functioning'. That requires a level of self-awareness that many of the lower functioning spectrum seem to lack.

One of the major problems with autism diagnoses is that there are lots of people who see the higher-functioning members of the autism community as the norm, whereas there are a fair percentage that are essentially permanently disabled that will likely be unable to contribute to society in a measurable way.
In recent history, I am seeing more and more research pointing to excessive carbohydrates and not fat as being a problem in the diet.

> AMAZON’S SIX-PAGE memos are famous. Executives must write one every year, laying out their business plan. Less well known is that these missives must always answer one question in particular: how are you planning to use machine learning? Responses like “not much” are, according to Amazon managers, discouraged.

I think company culture & talent make a big difference here. At most companies this would run the risk of poorly shoe-horning ML into a bunch of applications and making everything needlessly complex & expensive without seeing improved results (same goes for blockchain).
