The article doesn't really provide any arguments against superblock planning. Is she assuming that the failure of America's city planning is readily apparant? Why? And how would these failures not be explained by poor zoning laws in the US?

Besides microclimites, which are a whole other discussion, predictions vary per service. It looks like AccuWeather has a 2% better rating for San Francisco, it's not much but it's something. https://www.forecastadvisor.com/California/SanFrancisco/9412...

but compared to a smaller city also with microclimates on a large body of water the prediction for San Fran is 15% better - https://www.forecastadvisor.com/Minnesota/Duluth/55811/
I'm a pilot and can't make sense of 'the plane had to take evasive action to avoid the drone' - I'm skeptical I'd see a drone, unless it were huge, I'm even more skeptical I'd be able to evaluate and take action in time once I did see it. A drone is almost certainly below me in altitude which means it's against the ground as the background. I don't think I have much of a chance of seeing it at all unless it's painted in DayGlo and has strobes. Any else got an idea if you'd see anything in time? I'm flown near geese, they were definitely trying to avoid me, otherwise it wouldn't have ended well. So I've got a sneaky suspicion if I'm on a collision course with a drone, it's going to get hit unless the drone pilot prevents it.

But the coffee cup thing is just dumb, probably less useful than even the plastic straw crusade. There is close to zero actual biodegrading happening in landfills. Just tax the underlying soft drinks if you have a beef with cup consumption.
Completely agree. I don’t want medical practitioners who finished a medical bootcamp last week googling best practices on their phones and pretending to know what they’re talking about while I’m sedated in the OR.
Zapier does indexed compensation by region. E.g. They pay employees in Asia less than employees in America.
This is actually the worst of both worlds. They are paying over the market rate in some countries and under the market in others. Some of their employees are raking it in, others not so much.
What's fair or desirable about that?
Yes, if you want what you had before, then streaming isn't going to save you money. However, with the current system, I can pay $50/month for cable and then get whatever else I actually want when I want it. I get YouTube TV but only during the football season. I enjoy and pay for Netflix. I rent movies occasionally on Amazon, which I have Prime for, but I'd be paying for that anyway for package deliveries. If I had a kid at the right age, I'd probably shell out for Disney.

Overall, I pay a lot less than I would for cable and I get 90% of what I'd use anyway. So I pay a medium amount, but use everything I pay for. Compare this with cable where you pay a lot and use very little of what you pay for.
It is not always about the biggest, but easiest to replace. When getting people to do something they do not want to do, that is what you aim for.

> The US health care system is the least efficient of all the developed world, in terms of results vs expense. In many sectors, a competitive market gives the best results. In health care, that's just not the case.

Interestingly, your example undermines your case, because the US system is also less cost efficient than systems that are more market-oriented than it is.

The US healthcare system is uniquely problematic. It's not a markets vs. socialism problem, it's a unique damage that arises from trying to do things at such a scale.

Everywhere else in the world it's things the size of individual US states doing healthcare regulation, e.g. a median US state like Oregon has a GDP larger than Portugal or Greece. In the US it happens at the level of the entire union, which screws things up something terrible because it's well past the point that economies of scale give diminishing returns but it grows the public and private bureaucracies so large that they have their own inertia and gravity.

If the only thing the US did was repeal all federal healthcare laws and hand the whole thing over to the individual states, it would probably cut costs significantly. And then California could have single payer and New Jersey could require employer-provided coverage and Wyoming could let the market handle it entirely and probably all of them would do better than the feds are currently doing.
Indeed. But he didn't mention how he connected the dummy load to the radio. Dummy loads have usually a standard antenna connector and are meant to be attached directly to the radio or through an non-irradiating cable. So, my guess is that, by using the dummy load, he disconnected the actual antenna: the "dipole" made by the wires between the radio and the dessert

OP was speaking less about software and more about tech startup culture. Theranos comes to mind. Shoddy MVPs work well for consumer software but are dangerous in the medical field where the results could be life or death. The question is how can existing processes help/hurt a transition to medical field or will it require a radically different approach that doesn't gain from existing expertise (or at least without thorough consideration).
Just because something exists, doesn't mean it can't be done better, faster, smarter, cheaper. In fact it's usually a good sign that someone else built it first because it may indicate a valid market.
This article has cherry picked these photos, if you look at Emma Chamberlain's instagram for instance you will see many 'typical' instagram photos that you would see on a girl with millions of followers - it's just that they are occasionally interspersed by a silly photo of two.

There's nothing wrong with that this of course, I have no problem with people posting whatever they want. I just think the article is overstating the shift in content.

Sweden has corporate taxes slightly lower than under Trump’s tax law. It collects 6% of revenue from corporate taxes, versus 9% in the US. It collects much less of it’s revenue from progressive income taxes than the US does, and much more from regressive consumption and payroll taxes. Sweden’s capital gains rate is only moderately higher than the US’s (flat 30% versus 23.8% in the top brackets). There are no inheritance taxes. In short, if the US adopted Sweden’s tax code, taxes on lower income and middle class people would go up much more than on rich people. (In fact, the tax burden in Sweden is almost perfectly flat.) Sweden has school choice including subsidization of religious schools. Elective abortion is legal only up to 18 weeks. Deregulation and privatization are extensive. For example, Stockholm’s metro system is operated under contract by for-profit corporations. Sweden has no ban on fully automatic weapons or high capacity magazines.

These are really fundamental differences, particularly in the area of taxes (and that’s true not just for Sweden and Spain, but most European countries). In Europe, there is an expansive welfare state with lots of benefits for the middle class, but the middle class are also the ones that pay for it, through high payroll and sales taxes. In the US, replacing sales taxes with a 20% VAT (the OECD average) would raise an extra $700 billion according to CBO estimates. Enough to pay for socialized health care and education. But nobody on the left is proposing that. Every proposal focuses on raising taxes on corporations and the rich to pay for middle class benefits.

I think you misread it --- the sentence is saying 10 cells in series provided 4V, which means ~0.4V/cell and far closer to what the chemistry would predict for a copper-iron cell:

edit: see near the bottom of page 4 of this: http://www.mrloader.com/uploads/3/2/2/1/32218311/electrochem...

That says 0.43V for a copper-iron cell.

Sorry, I can't believe you compare nutritional disbalance (which is caused, in part, by abundance of cheap available calories in cheap available foods with ) with actual starvation. Yes, common American diet is nutritionally unsound (and government meddling for decades using bad science carries serious part of the blame, agro subsidies do too) but this is radically different from not being able to afford any food at all. I can't believe this needs to be spelled out.

> people really are actually poor in real life. It happens. A lot.

Who you are arguing with? I never claimed there are no poor people in real life. What I said that Uber drivers aren't doing it because their alternative is starving. Most people who are really poor do not participate in the gig economy at all.
Funny thing is, a light bulb is a decent dummy load for an antenna tuner. I rigged one up to test out an Icom AH-4 at the ham store.

I am not an astrophysicist (or a physicist even) but one piece of evidence that may be useful here:

Based on our understanding of the nuclear fusion reactions, starting from hydrogen, we expect to see, for a star of a given light / radiation spectrum (viz. Young stars, old, white dwarfs, super giants, etc ), emit spectra lines indicative of different elements such as H, He, O, C, etc. [1]. Young stars may not have all the "heavier elements", older stars do. Their relative abundance also changes with age.

Our models & predictions of stellar nuclear fusion (afaik) correspond very well with the specific emission spectra we detect for different star types. Which also corresponds very well to the size / lifetime of star, etc.

So, the data is very very consistent with nuclear fusion happening in stars.

Now, it may be possible that they are just the "other ends" of white holes. But if it were so, then the model becomes far mode complex, plus, where are all the black holes? While I do not know if the total number / mass of all extant blackholes is as much as the total stellar mass, I would suspect it's far far lesser. Probably wouldn't add up.

This is just the first explanation that came to my mind. I am certain there are others.

Again, this is a non-physicist's lay analysis. Take it FWIW. :)

I heard of debt. I actually made and paid off some. Turns out, those debt distributors (some people call them "banks") actually care about getting their money back and require proof of income and employment before they give you that sweet debt.
I've initially thought it was some sort of April fool's article. But I'm skeptical.

He didn't detail, but probably used a proper, non-irradiating cable, or no cable at all, when he experimented with the dummy load. If that was the case, he can't say he just swapped the dessert with the dummy load and, then, can't attribute the change in the results to that. So my guess is that the wires were in fact playing the role of an antenna there.

Besides, impedance matching doesn't mean much per se. As they say, even a dummy load can be tunned. The effectively irradiated power and the irradiation patterns are even more important than tunning in many situations.
That well might be so, but when people get the power to decide who is a racist, results degenerate very quickly.
There is that, but property taxes are also designed to discourage unproductive speculation. Many taxes have dual purposes like that (e.g. sin taxes).
I have a few reusable, resealable glass coffee cups, and I don’t know that I got 70 uses out of them before I dropped one as I was washing it and it shattered. I’ll be buying plastic reusable cups next time, even though they’re not as nice to use, because for someone as clumsy as me, the risk of breaking a glass object that needs to be hand-washed regularly and is intended to be used while moving around is quite high.
You could also ask if fusion is just energy from other ends of black holes. My point is that scientists can’t be there so see it but they have a very high probability that this is what is powering it based on theories and calculations
According to the article they are, but only if you have a machine to separate the wax lining.
There is a cap on potential solar power generation. Compare the amount of power generated per square meter for a solar panel versus a nuclear power station. Nuclear reactors can be stacked vertically or located underground. Also it is ugly to have vast areas of the natural landscape covered in panels. Ugly waste of space.
In grad school, I had a tiny start-up with a classmate selling a virtual instrument doing just what you describe (for guitar sound synthesis). We had PDE models for the string, finger/string interaction, fret/string interactions etc. We would then discretize these PDEs to generate in real-time a synthetic "force" applied by the string on soundboard, and then convolve this in real-time with measured impulse responses of real acoustic guitar soundboards. Our website is still up (spicyguitar.com) and we give it for free now, but I don't know if it still works in recent DAWs.
Consider that 99% of new products are evolutionary, they don't represent a fundamental new approach or a fundamental new innovation. Most real innovation is incremental, and small, and new 'great products' are a compendium of a lot of little things.
The point of the article is that we don't consider a unit in a number system to be prime, and in the integers/rationals/reals 1 is a unit.

Why we don't consider units to be prime is more than just it "makes more math look nicer."

As discussed in the article, once we explored different types of number system (the example given is an adjoin of the square root of negative 5 to the integers) we were able to classify numbers that no-one would ever 'intuit' as prime: the units.

The defining characteristic of these non-primes is shared by '1' in the integers/rationals/reals so it is consistent to call 1 a non-prime as well.

> System-wide UI consistency, especially in the fine details

> Singular UI/UX vision eliminates points of confusion and everything-is-a-compromise choices for third party developers

There are consistent themes across both GTK+ and Qt. Pretty much all my apps share a similar theme and UI. There are Mac Apps as well that deviate from whatever "standardization" you're referring to.

> Navigable by non-experts, even when things turn to shit

It is no longer 2004. A lot of Mac users are also more than capable of running a few shell commands when needed. There are tons of web UIs and graphical apps to manage a Linux OS, from hardware, users, configuration, etc. However, a properly configured Linux OS won't need a lot of interaction on the frontend.

> Nominally "perfect" hardware support

Linux has way better hardware support than Mac. I'm not sure what you're referring to here.

Agreed, this is one area that needs some improvement, but last I checked it is pretty well supported:

You can read Martin Luther's writings on the matter, if you like.
> there's already another website that does exactly the same thing

I don't think there's anything wrong with this per se, but you still need something to set yours apart. For example, if the features are identical, then the price can be different. If the price is the same, then you can edge them out with features or service or get ready, experience.

Amazon won us over with price, but now there are often other places with lower online prices (often walmart.com) but we tend to use amazon more because the experience is good (although they're killing that now too, but that's another discussion).
Not sure how this got three downvotes without explanation, so if anyone would be kind enough to do so, that'd be much appreciated. Hacker News is supposed to be about discussion, not blind voting.
yeah that is pretty controversial stuff! I guess for me this falls into that fringe category of stuff that really should best be only found by those truly seeking it, so I’m morally OK with barriers without total censorship. But I’d also like to think more about how to help those people who get sucked into such things. The more private it becomes, maybe the harder it is to see & help?

All that said I still stand by my original comment, there is a chilling effect on free speech, not to be so glibly dismissed.
> It also is, for example, the ‘reason’ that 0⁰ equals 1,

Is it? That seems different. The math proof for that is pretty easy.

a^n * a^m = a^(n+m)

Is the argument just that we should say the above is true if n or m != 0?
Who's to say that the nursing side of Lambda won't be accredited?
> It's not as if the other costs of running a government increased by x%.

Isn't it? If those workers want to buy houses, or rent, as most do, then it has gone up. And since that is the majority of what people pay. So these workers costs have gone up significantly, with a raise in house prices.
This reminds me of Matt Webb's piece titled "Instagram as an island economy"[1] where he writes about the concept of encoded labour: "Every "user" of Instagram is a worker. There are some people who produce photos -- this is valuable, it means there is something for people to look it. There are some people who only produce comments or "likes," the virtual society equivalent of apes picking lice off other apes."

People keep saying nuclear is really expensive.

Moreover, "orders of magnitude cheaper" means hundreds of times cheaper. You would have to be doing something silly like comparing one 3MW wind turbine to one 3000MW nuclear reactor.
