A human can put out ~200W to the pedals (or 400 for an hour if you are among the best in the world). The amount of heat they put out when doing that is much more. The human body is about 30% efficient so if you are doing 200watts to the pedals you are putting out over 400w of heat.

Gemini is probably the best one, code-quality wise.

Agreed, the way the trading-pair-to-exchange relationship works right now is imperfect. It's ripe for a good refactor.
Austin Power's would probably make money today, but it probably wouldn't be made. Because it's impossible to only make "good movies," especially when you are working without an established fanbase or franchise, for every Austin Powers you make, you get 2-3 shitty high budget attempts that flop.

We should also ask ourself if high budget comedies are really necessary. You could do Austin Powers on a cheap budget and it would probably only reduce the quality a bit. So maybe it's not the end of the world if the Austin Powers movies of the future are lower budget and on TV.

> And I severely doubt more than 5% of the planet cares about whether "in the end we all get more accurately priced securities."

Accurately priced securities are like a responsive public health system or redundancy in the electricity grid. Almost nobody cares about these things directly.

Yet virtually everybody enjoys the enormous gains in material living standards that are facilitated by having these things in place.

Technically, the orbit baselined for NASA's Gateway is Near-rectilinear Halo Orbit, which is a particular class of EML2 halo orbit that happens to loop around the Moon... ...and it is chosen partially so Earth is never eclipsed (unlike many other EML2 halo orbits). EML1 is no longer baselined.

Ask HN: Consultants in Montreal willing to let me shadow them?
Shadowing is an excellent way to learn how experts work. Sadly it's mostly overlooked. I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to shadow a consultant/senior engineer, and I'm willing to use my skills to help them in day to day operations.

It comes down to ignoring Firefox's inferior UI/UX and blindly buying into Firefox marketing.

Seeing as how the internet is actually a shitload of poorly organized data it's unclear what advantage Mozilla gains by not being in the 'data collection business'.

"Firefox isn’t perfect — it still defaults searches to Google and permits some other tracking. But it doesn’t share browsing data with Mozilla, which isn’t in the data-collection business."

Needlessly relearning things to avoid collecting them doesn't make any part of browsing faster or more efficient.

"The Sentinelese and Jawari (despite not being hill people) are hunter-gatherers presumably because it allows them to stay independent (enslaved, taxed etc)."

I don't know anything about the Jawari but this just seems like speculation w.r.t the Sentinelese. You're ascribing a single-liftetime conscious decision ("I know civilization, it is bad, so we should all just keep to ourselves in this isolated place and not develop technology") to groups of people who have been living in isolation for centuries, possibly even thousands of years. In the case of the sentinelese, it may not even be a type of cultural evolutionary trait to avoid people so much as a consequence of isolation, that people just don't go there because it's out of the way or they don't know about it. And their hostility to outsiders could have any number of explanations... it could be that they see civilization as a threat to their way of life, but it could also be that they are just scared of people who look different and use seemingly magical tools, or due to some pervasive myth/aspect of their religion.

Ask HN: Whistleblowing on a Tech Company
I know a tech company that's raised a crapload of money (even by SV standards) but I suspected their tech doesn't work.

A colleague who I consider very smart coincidentally (and independently) was very suspicious about them too.

I don't work for the company (not uBeam btw) but I'm kinda fed up their bullshit (quoting some lyrics here :-)).

How can I whistleblow on them such that they're forced to demo their tech and prove that it works?
You cannot make yourself believe in God any more than you can make yourself believe in the grocery store clerk. Either they are and you interact with them, or they are not. Prayer is nothing more than talking with God, who is there.

> Nietzsche nailed it.
If God is not, Nietzsche is correct.

If God is, then He is stronger than the universe, and the sight of His _back_ is enough to make you as radiant as the sun [1]. How gentle then, if He loves us, must He be with us, creatures of dust and ash as we are?

> Third, a friend of mine asked me what evidence, if any, would be sufficient to convince me that the supernatural existed. This question stumped me. My philosophy at the time excluded the contemplation of the supernatural axiomatically: by definition (my definition) even the word "super-natural" was a contradiction in terms. Logic then said that, if my conclusions were definitional, they were circular. I was assuming the conclusion of the subject matter in dispute ... This meant that, logically, even if God existed, and manifested Himself to me, my philosophy would force me to reject the evidence of my senses, and dismiss any manifestations as a coincidence, hallucination, or dream. Under this hypothetical, my philosophy would force me to an exactly wrong conclusion due to structural errors of assumption. [2]

>Japanese made products used to be synonymous to 'cheap' and 'poor quality.' It was not until July 1950 when Dr. Edwards Deming (1900-1993) introduced SQC to the Japanese industry audience, using the trademark colored-beads experiment.

>Eizaburo Nishibori, one of the country's post-war quality pioneers, describes in a book* the humble initial encounter to modern quality concepts that preceded Deming's historic 8-day seminar.

>It was during American occupation of Japan (1945- 1952) when GHQ (offices of the Allied occupation) placed an order of vacuum tubes to Toshiba. Nishibori recalled the American officers wanted to see a 'control chart' from the manufacturing process being used to produce their order. No one at Toshiba knew what it was. "You don't know a control chart? How do you plan to manage quality?" Nishibori remembers replying, "If we, engineers at Toshiba, don't know it, most likely no one in Japan knows."

> It’s just to say that such designers do exist

Sure - somewhere they exist. But I have yet to run into one in my career. Real question: are they doing paid production work?

I just simply cannot fathom passing off the cost of using buggy/incomplete tooling to my customer so I'm curious if it's people just producing for the open source community using open source tools?

Not trying to rip on your statement, but that's the only reason I can fathom using these tools in any professional context.
I think it will bring about a LOT of changes for targeted applications, and most specifically gaming. I also find Blazor and a few other technologies related to WASM interesing. I do not think it will displace much as far as web based applications.

And all of that said, I happen to like JS. It's my favorite language. While I'm really green with it, I'd consider Rust my second fav. C# third. In the end, I find that I can be incredibly productive with JS + NPM and that cannot be understated. I'm able to leverage community repos that cover everything under the sun and write less than half the code and better cover my use cases for good enough performance. When I need more, I'll leverage other languages/tools, most of the time, I don't. And even when I do, I tend to lean on Node/JS for orchestration.
My take was, any company like this that survived in 2009 did very well.

> All I need in a browser is the ability to browse (tabbed) while blocking ads.

You can do this in Firefox, with several great ad-blocking extensions, such as uBlock Origin or Adnsaueum.

> Browsers anymore have become walled gardens what with their add-on web stores, garbage like Pocket, sync, etc. I don't want any of that. Browsers could all be more like the old-school Konqueror, in the sense that one could import ad block lists at will without resorting to visiting store.

Firefox allows you to remove what you don't need, especially Pocket. Sync is optional.

I find the package manager actually great. Quicklisp works with monthly "distributions" that are tested to load together, rather than libs that must be strictly pinned and updated separately like everywhere else. I can understand the ecosystem problem, but it might be way better than one thinks: https://github.com/CodyReichert/awesome-cl

Also, Quicklisp can be completed with http://ultralisp.org/, a distribution that builds every 5 minutes and to which it is trivial to add a library. There's also Qlot for local dependencies, and more.

This actually seems like a GREAT thing to untangle all the otherwise useless? 32bit support from the underlying filesystem.

Why have windows apps accessing your 32 bit libraries in /usr (which only the Windows apps need at this point) and instead just a flatpak library of sandboxed 32 libraries?

My steam install is already flatpaked, I'd be much happier if the community just moved this way -

Seems like much closer to what I would want when running ANY Windows app in my otherwise completely open source desktop in the first place.

As home theaters get bigger and better, I feel like movie theaters are going the wrong direction trying to amp up the experience. Sure, they can ride the Marvel movies for a while and catch people who need to be there opening weekend, but the core viewers have been chipped away.

I think there are two ways forward: return to the crummy old theater model of playing classic movies day and night (why don't any multiplexes have 1 screen dedicated to this?) Curation is key as well as choice. It would be bice when there are 8 crappy movies at the theater to see "Die Hard" and "The Godfather" playing so there is always an option for people that just want a night out.

Which is the second point: movie theaters are one of the last remaining "things to do" on a normal night that is kid-friendly and group-friendly. Malls are gone (or profoundly dead) and movie theaters are one of the last options. Although I feel like the concept of "going out" is itself maybe dying.

Rehabilitation is counterproductive for prison officials. Someone who is rehabilitated is much less likely to reoffend, and deprives your prison of an inmate.

Someone asked that on HN before. The bottom line is that parallel construction for insider trading isn't a thing. If the SEC can show you had NMPI and traded, you're in trouble, even if it didn't inform your trading. If they can't show it, it doesn't matter if your explanation was that you had a lucky feeling.

Frustrating part is that I could never get the timing right. After about 100 attempts I gave up and just lived with the annoying seat belt warning bell.

Why do you perceive mass disarmament of non-police and non-military as an acceptable alternative to mass surveillance? They both present the same issues of:

-selective enforcement;

-persecution of minorities;

-suppression of political rivals;

-inherent asymmetrical concentration of power into the established elite;

-history of abuse by totalitarians;

I'm genuinely unable to wrap my head around taking a pro-liberty stance on one issue and a pro-authority stance on the other. Yes, criminals abuse our common freedoms, but governments have always had vastly greater ability to abuse their power. And crime is already marginal, and falling!

There was a period in the video game industry, right at the tail end of the arcade era, where video games were launched in the arcade in order to boost sales of the games in the console market.

I imagine Amazon and Netflix will look to a similar strategy with movie theatres in order to boost demand for both individual films and their services in general.
