The opening post was about a psychological effect to which this poster responded "No. I wrote up the computations explaining why." and linked to a paper which had as a conclusion an increase in breathing rates.

My point is that a crowded room likely has more than one causes which could explain why productivity is lowered and decisions making worsened.

You won't notice an autonomic response but your brain likely will and it might very well answer by releasing adrenaline, cortisol, etc., and make you more anxious and stressed to encourage you to leave the environment that is causing the increased breathing rates.

Markets and population are not one to one. One very dedicated, idealistic and pious person can do more today than the rest of 7 billion people combined. What's desperately needed is to elevate the debate and put all issues on the table:

China's leaders can misspeak. Why should they tell others how to speak? China's leaders cannot disarm their enemies. Why should they try to disarm yours? If people could go to China or Russia without having their businesses raided by the police just for being good at what they do and employing people, who cares who's rich or poor?

Go high enough on the wealth ladder, and it's almost comical about how real wealth lives. Super frugal, much simpler than the trap of material wealth and celebrity everybody presumes.

That side benefit of the cheap HVAC transformers makes HVAC practical for transmission where you have many cities that you are passing by and need to distribute power to.

HVDC shines when you have a hydro plant a long distance away, with nothing in between.

If you want to pass by a bunch of cities in between and distribute power to them, it would get expensive to put a small HVDC substation “spur” at each.

Can you mix HVAC and HVDC on the same infrastructure?

> "house fan" for 15 minutes or so every hour at night just to circulate the air in the house,

Depending on your climate, this could significantly raise the humidity in your house. Reason is that moisture from the AC coil are wet after the AC turns off. Typically drips off into the pan until next time AC cycles.

If you run the fan you will then evaporate into the air circulating some of the moisture just removed.

Definitely true. You can measure how leaky a building is by sealing it up, blowing air in the door, and measuring how the pressure changes. If it’s very leaky the pressure doesn’t rise as much.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blower_door

We used to assume that you’d get enough fresh air from infiltration through accidental sources. With a better sealed building, that’s not always the case and you may need to deliberately bring in outside air. Heat recovery ventilation systems help to do this more efficiently than the inadvertent leaking method.

Depends if "electronic voting" means "in-person voting at polling stations with existing polling cards and polling booths, but replace paper ballots with touchscreen vote-counting machines" or if it means "Voting by smart phone"

Although there are downsides to vote-by-smartphone, an advocate would argue you should compare it to vote-by-mail rather than vote-in-person, given that almost every election allows vote-by-mail.
> Imagine if we could conduct voting in a day (even in large democracies).

That would be horrible. "direct democracy" does not work (Switzerland is also a representative democracy), practical policy making requires some domain knowledge, patience and the ability to make compromises that the Internet mob could not possibly deliver. People are generally very good at judging the trustworthiness of other people, however, and at being critical about other people (rather themselves). Both traits work well for a representative democracy.

> The delay for counting the votes measures in days, which is a tiny amount in a feedback loop where one iteration takes 4-6 years.

I think their argument is precisely that that's too slow of a time to reflect what the voters want and that a faster turnaround time would allow referendums and more of a direct democracy, even when it comes to minor issues, since 'representatives' often don't quite represent.

Such a system does need informed voters, otherwise it opens up to reactionary activism, but that's a whole another debate.
It happens to me all the time. I used to use Gmail API to send mail (personal hobby app, to my own account). Every now and then Gmail would randomly refuse to authenticate through the API because of unsafe or suspicious access or some other BS. Then I would need to jump through some hoops (log in manually though browser, toggle on/off the "allow less secure app" setting, the disable unlock captcha setting, and it would work again for a while before acting up again.
To me it feels like Trump did it more or less intentionally. He seem to know that behind a stone faced facade, Xi is an anxious and insecure person — the same 7th grader he was when his family was purged.
None of which has anything to do with Trump's policies and, in fact, these numbers would improve if the fuckbag Republicans would all spontaneously die and leave the actual adults to their work.

So a game company removes one of their own games, and replaces it with a different version with a different name?

"Design" is far from my key value metric in a thermostat. When I had my Nest, it looked pretty, but I kept having to re-set the temperature because they'd add some new smart feature that didn't behave the way I wanted to. I ended up largely crippling the crud out of it to begin with.

And of course, after I sold it there was the incident where a server error caused everyone's heat to stop working, so the fact that my pets didn't freeze to death that day made a big impact on me too. ;)

Some of the stuff he talks about are legitimate issues that need to be fixed. He's just so superficial with his changes that none of the problems get fixed. In some cases he just exacerbates the problem.

I personally feel people dismiss these issues because trump talks about fixing them. They seem to think admitting a problem trump is talking about is real means they support trump. That's absolutely crazy. Then again Republicans did the same with Obama though.

It's almost taboo to think the world should not be looked at either from a left or right perspective. Truth is what the party tells you.

I've seen this argument before used to defend oil companies and the like. Or a company for not paying taxes. Or lobbying to change the laws. "They're just performing their fiduciary responsibility their shareholders!"

I disagree entirely. The existence of capitalism doesn't give people or companies a free morality pass.

First of all I'm not generalizing. What I say is purely based on my experiences. Experiences may differ. Im not racist, infact I love China as a country (I want to visit again sooner than later) and I think that many chinese are good honest persons, especially the elder more talkative and the young people from the big cities (especially Shanghai youngsters seem very "western" for a lack of a better word). But there is many that are not. Its cultural, imagine the history of the chinese. Having empathy and having the balls to take a stance would at some points in history have cut your lineage short in china.

Its actually kind of funny that you accuse me of generalization, since every single chinese I have met in China referred to me as "Englishman" and wanted to take pictures with me because i had "jew hair"
Limits per country it is not discrimination, as it limits a White British or French, a Myslim Pakistani, or Indian Hindu the same.

The limits are there to prevent one ethnicity just gaming it industrial scale and taking over the system.

Unfortunately it sucks for aj Indian, but it is great if you are an African from Senegal.

I personally think it should be more proportional to the country's population size, (i.e. India should have a higher quota) but the limit is still a good idea.

I can't find firm material on exactly what explains the night usage — I'm sure the National Grid have details on this somewhere. Even so, the price of electricity reduces at night and so industry uses it a lot during that time. A lot of people leave appliances on overnight too, like washing machines.
Thanks for posting the follow-ups I've missed. It's bad news indeed, the situation is getting far less optimistic.
Please try not to flamebait, particularly with political topics, on HN.

Aside from the actual topic at hand — China — the big pillars of Economic growth, immigration, healthcare, North Korea, the Middle East, national security, ISIS, and NATO are all massive issues that US continues to struggle with and has for decades (well, ISIS is a recent spinoff of an older problem).

Trump has set a great direction in Iraq/Afghanistan (get the hell out). Trump has worked marvels with Kim (when was the last nuclear test?). Trump made great strides in recognizing the truth on the growth with the embassy move to Jerusalem and judging by the latest hystrionics by Hamas might be zeroing in on the greatest deal of his life in the Middle East. Trumps purpose with the travel ban was forcing better intelligence/screening of incoming passengers and we’ve got the data sharing he wanted. NATO countries are paying more than ever. The ISIS caliphate is defeated.

Immigration reform and healthcare he has fought hard battles and wants to keep fighting. There’s recent progress on the great DACA bargain. Trump wants to get true historic immigration reform on that list, and he continues to push for a real Republican answer to healthcare while chipping away at the margins for things like drug pricing.

Oh yeah, and the economy has literally never been better, and never been better for everyone across the income scale. He fought the Fed hard to ensure real wages would rise for the low and middle class when they tried to squash it with rate hikes.

Trumps strategy with China is sound (despite the talking heads all saying tariffs don’t work) and he had the leverage going into this negotiation to get important concessions.

All this, while the whole time being called a Russian traitor from across the aisle. Crazy times we live in.

> Because it's not work... unless your job involves going to conferences.

Right, I'm talking about professional conferences related to one's work, otherwise presumably you'd be taking vacation days to attend them.

And what defines "work" if it's not whatever I'm getting paid for? Like, if I spent a work day sitting on my ass eating snacks and watching YouTube, that's definitely not "work" in the colloquial sense, but I doubt FTB would be happy if I tried to avoid paying taxes on my salary for that day because I wasn't "working". I'd think going to a conference is a far clearer cut case in the "work" column than that.

* .edu is "dot ee dee you" not "dot ed-you", though I pronounce all of the other old-school domains as words.
