And likely because the full-time jobs pay terribly so they do gig stuff to supplement / make ends meet. And it’s something they can do flexibly around their full-time work schedule.
I could see that being possible as gender roles drift towards more unisex as part of existing trends. A dark side effect of a good thing. As for why women's suicide methods tend to leave "prettier" more intact corpses as opposed to self-obliterative overkill that makes a horrid mess.

It seems strange at first that concern for apperance and tidyness but given that suicides usually involve skewed priorities.

For those avoiding clickbait titles, this is about thermal throttling.

I was genuinely fascinated by the number of people that were surprised when the i9s in Macbooks were thermally throttling. Additionally I ended up in a bit of a reddit argument with someone who was adamant that the ipad pro can maintain max GPU output without active cooling.

I guess no matter how much people understand tech, we still want the biggest specs in our computers, even if we sometimes choose to overlook the actual limiting factors.

The PE lined cups can be recycled, the UK currently has capacity to recycle all the 2.5 billion cups we use annually.

For this specific example, sure. For most things that would make a community bad, I think it's worth giving something a chance to develop. And given finite staff attention, I think the economics of Reddit's business means that they're not going to bother with the small fry.
in an increasingly globalized world, literary media has become culturally relevant anywhere in the world.

In the past, when localized media is the only option, locking out regions from purchases wouldn't have been an issue (since nobody would've known about it).

But now the internet exists, and information being global means that literary media must also be global. To be denied an opportunity to participate in its consumption is to deny the right to participate in cultural exchange and communication. I think that's wrong, and therefore, this justifies piracy for those individuals who would otherwise be denied due to cost/availablity reasons.
So, if anyone is feeling robust enough someone in England is currently live-tweeting an inquest about a young woman who died by suicide.

It is common for registrars to offer large discounts on first registrations. But then the prices can go up (a lot) in the following years.

The idea here would be to have a price that is fixed, i.e. it would not change depending on business or commercial decisions.

Some great advice here. To add another perspective: sometimes you don't know where your idea will take you. A lot of your competition is locked into their path. Being at the outset of yours, the customers you listen to along the way may steer you in a different direction or pivot into a far better idea.
Believe it or not, Internet Explorer does support flexbox: both the latest version, and the version before.

There may be more IE users using government sites (whether they be gov employees forced to leverage it for ancient intranet use, or just some older users), but hopefully the number of those on IE <10 will still be extremely small. Global usage for IE <10 is ~0.3%, which includes many users in Asia forced to use IE for ActiveX banking; again, one would hope this figure would be far far lower in the US.

The bulk of that 1.4% of global users without flexbox support are actually more likely to be on an old version of iOS Safari or pre-Chrome Android Browser, than on IE, and desktop would be a larger-than-elsewhere demographic within older users of gov sites, and within gov employees on gov workstations, so in reality the flexbox support stats could well be above average for gov sites.

You talk about a provider like a person.

You can easily listen to webhooks for subscription cancellations, and you can also poll the API for subscription information - ideally both to guarantee consistency (watch+list pattern). Any non-trivial integration would have this. Don't blame end users for your tech #fails.

Even as I point this out I don't seem to understand your attitude, unless it's on behalf some lame shared cpanel hosting providers using some crappy billing software like whmcs - those providers lame everything on the customer.
I get that government websites need to be accessible more then anything, and these constraints are obviously more important then the vague and subjective idea of beauty, but damn some of these components are really ugly:

The borders just seems really poor looking for me. The form controls double borders when in error and focus are so aggressive. No elevations or shadows. It's flat design to it's radical extreme.

I suppose I've gotten used to beauty being subtle - like a good comedy, if it's in your face then it isn't very good.
While this is entirely valid criticism, it glosses over the fact that the experiments were heavily biased towards long running workloads typical for media producers.

I'm not using my MBP to render 4k video or maxing all cores of the CPU for sustained periods.

It seems clear to me that for the casual/developer segment, that has eaten up the entire marketshare, having short bursts of peak performance on six cores is perfectly fine for compiling/coding/browsing workloads.

You'll have a hard time convincing me that sustained 100% cpu tasks should be run on portable hardware. Use remote desktop/SSH and a VM/Mac Pro if you need to hit maximum TDP for long periods, RDP has great in-house latency and has the added benefit of your lap not becoming lava.

There's a much better pattern for these tasks, and it isn't using hardware designed to be portable. Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

Usually prices are marketed at <<$10 for first year registrations, in the following years they go up in an unpredictable way.

Do you know any registrar that guarantees a final price of $10/year on registration and renovations?
I am glad I am not the only one who feel this way. Hacker News is a well-oiled pro-West propaganda machinery lately. Not sure if it is nationalism forcing people to be hostile towards China, Russia, India and anything not from the West.

I introduced a lot of people to HN, but they get turned off by these pro-West propaganda and leave. Such a turn off. I try to avoid news about China, Russia, India and anything from my beloved continent of Africa because I know comments will be mostly negative.

I am not a fan of echo chambers. I am forced to tolerate this echo chamber because of tech-related news. How I wish HN that can focus 100% on tech and related news. That was going to be awesome for people like me who don't like to be force-fed propaganda. Tech news is the only thing keeping me from quitting it altogether, but amount of propaganda being pushed to the front page will really push me to the edge.
I am not from the USA (there is some number of international participants). So applying there is considerably more difficult than for a US person (and the effort goes in non-STEM things such as the application procedure).

But we're not talking about recycling plastic. We're talking about products that can be recycled that are contaminated with plastic (e.g. plastic bags that clog up machines and plastic liners for paper products that presumably contaminate the paper pulp). It's a materials handling problem. It should be solvable.
Yes, that's what I meant by the solution not being trivial even for 3 points. It's either the circumscribed circle (for acute triangles) or the longest edge being the diameter (for obtuse triangles).

For a larger number of points it's generally the same, only you don't know which of the multiple possible triangles will work.

Food and health, a lot of totally contradicting studies.
It's not just the "influencers". It's the entire media system. 99.99% of traditional media and social media are just fillers with no substance or value.

And we are nowhere close to peak. Look at the hysteria developing on traditional media and social media for the pending "royal" birth.

But then again, who am I to judge. I'm on a social media complaining about social media.
Loads of studies could be ethically performed with humans but it's more expensive to get test subjects. With mice you get a bunch of them and control what they do throughout their whole day without having to pay them anything.

>Now, being a Pentester doesn’t mean you only focus on one thing - such as Network Pentesting or Web Apps

I disagree. There are people who's entire jobs are just to break web apps (most banks probably have a couple on the payroll) or just to get into and around a network (though the latter is slowly becoming less common as network architecture is changing).
There will not be a decarbonized economy running on wind an and solar. It's less than 1% of the worlds energy consumption and won't be more than 3% in 2040.

Nuclear doesn't us "lots of concrete" in any meaningful way especially not when you start factoring in the energy density.

Wind and solar require huge areas, lots of rare earth metals and there is no plan for how to decommission plus, wind and solar are unreliable which means they still need backup from something else like coal, nuclear or oil.

In other words there will be no decarbonized economy without nuclear or fusion or thorium.

In a country with a fairly low GDP/capita, the form of development must have been heavily influenced by economics. The capital cost per dwelling unit and the cost of delivering utilities (electricity, communications, water, sewerage, etc) and transportation must be taken into account.
This was how I gained full sysadmin access to our college's VAX 11/780 mini computer in late 1986. This machine ran pretty much everything from accounting to exam marking. There were three terminals that the admins would logon to pretty much regularly on the "student" side of the computer room. I knocked up a script to run on these three terminals that looked exactly like the standard login and mailed me the credentials entered before displaying the standard "incorrect username/password" (and then silently logoff). The risk for me, had the IT team been a bit more up on their game, was spotting my account being logged into these three terminals for long periods of time with me no-where to be seen :)

I kept silent about this until years afterwards for fear of being chucked out of college, which to be honest would've been a good thing seeing as the course was a waste of time.
Then that's different.
This won't work, xcode is heavily integrated with macOS only libraries and as far as I'm aware, it requires GUI interaction at some point to produce the iOS binary.

You really don’t need to simulate it. It will just be a electrically small magnetic loop with a large real resistance. Any antenna text book should have it, with gain proportional to frequency.

Of course the nonlinearity of the filament will change things slightly, but it will converge down to a fixed impedance.
Yet they are used as a backup for both wind and solar because those are unreliable energy sources. That's what I am talking about.

Coal isn't economically unsustainable I don't know where you have that from.

Wind and solar covers less than 1% of the worlds energy needs even push forward to 2040 and it might do around 3%.

It's not even close to being a serious contender for humans energy needs.
The world economy manufactures and uses 50 million tons of hydrogen a year, so I think that problem has been well-solved.
The question I find fascinating is whether we should spend $100 for a hard case to protect our $1000 smart phone. I bought an Otter case for my current iPhone, and it's saved my phone 6 times from a fall of 3 feet or more (I know, because I scratch a tick mark into the case each time).

The comment I get most often is how bulky my phone is with the case. It's a tradeoff.

A lot of damage could be avoided with a lanyard, but none of the iPhones have lanyard holes. Nearly all early cell/mobile phones, and small audio devices had this feature. Cameras have had straps and lanyard holes for years. Why not the iPhone??

> Is this assuming it goes into landfill afterwards? Does it look better if you use something more easily recyclable?

Yes, it does, and yes it does. However, getting the waste to the right place is also problematic. According to BBC[0] despite the fact that the cups are technically recyclable, lamost all of them end up in landfill anyway.

You might consider checking out r/homelab if you're considering something big- the community is really large and supportive.
I don't necessary disagree with you, and generally lean towards the 'marketplace of ideas' / free speech side of things. But a few thoughts that make me hesitate:

1. not deplatforming is based on a belief ("sunlight is the best desinfectant, etc.) that, as far as I can tell, isn't supported by much evidence either, at least as far as it's larger-scale effects.

2. it's possible, for example, that having these ideas out in the open and easily accessible actually increases the effect of them radicalising/convincing people who previously didn't have much of an opinion on or care about these issues. This might outweigh the effect of those already radical being exposed to alternative ideas.

3. building on this, I find that generally the 'better' and less hateful ideas are more nuanced and complex, and thus much harder to convey. Especially in online environments like reddit/twitter/etc.

4. there's the 'bullshit asymmetry principle'. it's much easier to produce bullshit arguments for bad ideas than it is to counter them. it also strikes me as much easier to get ensnared by hateful and/or bad ideas than it is to 'escape' them. A bit like how cults work.

5. access to these ideas via Reddit and the like removes one rather important element: collective shaming and having to accept the consequences of particular ideas. While in theory this is a good thing, in practice it can easily lead people down dark paths in isolation.

Having grown up deeply religious, and having spent a lot of time in all sort of fringe communities, I suspect that the net effect of not deplatforming is negative. Ideas are perhaps kind of like viruses. With the internet and places like Reddit, they can propagate freely without the mediating effects of interpersonal contact and various degrees of ostracism or other consequences. They also have a reach that they never had before.

Despite all that, I'm not arguing that we should do something about it. I don't know, and still lean towards accepting this new reality with all its consequences, or at least making sure we have a better understanding before we 'curb' things. But I'm much less optimistic about this new, internet-enabled state of things than I used to be.

Apologies for all this being a bit of a ramble.
Rather than making thousands of requests in parallel, wouldn't reducing the number of queries be the more obvious choice.
Perhaps. On the other hand, there are many more technologies than there are market niches for them to fill, so most technologies will be losers.

I see nothing that tells me fusion won't be a loser. The attachment some people have to it is bizarre. It's like they were told when they were young and naive that fusion was going to be the future, and are unable to revise their programmed opinions in light of contrary evidence.
I believe one of the early Macs also had a similar feature on the inside.
Many years ago I was dumping all my photos into Coppermine [1]

The future of technology surrounding self-driving cars and Tesla
I've got a work-in-progress series [0] (first three posts are up) on writing a compiler from scratch in JavaScript (no third-party libraries). The first two posts target amd64 assembly, the third post ports to LLVM IR. You may not learn much about the best way to build compilers [i.e. 1) using a parser generator and 2) not emitting text directly], but you'll start with minimal code/functionality and build up from there -- which I always find super useful in learning new things.

There are many series like mine throughout the internet that are generally useful aides when combined with the typical dense, classical compiler textbook. The single exception to "dense textbooks" on compilers is Nikolaus Wirth's Compiler Construction [1] where he takes you through writing a compiler from scratch in ~100 pages. This is one of my favorite compiler (and programming?) books by one of the coolest programming language researchers. But even it may not be super accessible as a first on compilers.

The UK doesn't have a direct property tax. The closest thing is the council tax (which is linked to the notional value of your home in 1991), but that is generally paid by the occupants, not the owner (and may be discounted or increased if a home is left empty depending on the disposition of the local council). It also doesn't update as the market changes, because it's effectively frozen 30 years ago.
