> what happens if I microwave a full ak mag

I seem to recall Mythbusters baking a loaded .44 Magnum in an oven, and that was on corporate broadcast TV.

I can't speak for the average person, but if I find myself curious about the results of something obviously dangerous, I like to look up a video of someone else doing it so I can find out with no risk. I don't find myself wanting to replicate dangerous experiments once I've watched a video.
This is probably one of the more sound takes on both ThinkSpot and the right way to address what is happening on these massive platforms. Thanks for this.
hogwash. Support the ecosystem, pass them around, take the chance of letting them sit on a shelf. $35.
It's a true belief for companies like Equifax, who can offload all of the liability so long as it's the criminal that is guilty instead of them. For Equifax, securing reads is worth very little because as long as they can A. stop competitors from using their data and B. have no liability all of their needs are met.
Fuck you Google.
So this is just like Mathpix?

I’ve never found typing out LaTeX equations particularly tedious, unless you’re doing multi-page derivations in which case you’re spending more time checking for errors.
This still doesn’t address the wild inefficiencies in the US healthcare system causing us to spend more per capita than any other first world country with poorer outcomes.

People should take care of their health, but that is not going to fix US healthcare (such as private insurance, pharma, and healthcare providers gouging healthcare consumers). Stab at the heart of the beast.
I'm not an American, how does this compare to current US West Coast?
Perhaps it should be pursued. Actually yes, I think it should.

But I think the article is trying to imply that it all has to do with wealth as a cause, not wealth as a substitute identifier for a host of healthy habits.

The healthy habits are not expensive, but mostly rich people seem to adopt them.
> like a baby mosquito on the back of an giant elephant.

As far as most *nix users are concerned Microsoft has been more like a dead rotting elephant covered with flies for a long time and someone needs to cleanup that mess. The engineers there should really take a look outside their bubble about how other competent developers think of their software.
whats the reasoning behind the new law?
Got it, thanks.

It can also be made to work for highly-responsive but relatively small data sets: At Justin.tv, the scaling issues we hit with the first-generation video system were net splits and an increasing percentage of processor time being devoted to synchronization. The replacement system used a single PostgreSQL server (with a hot backup) to hold the real-time status of the entire system: Where every channel was being put into the system, the entire replication graph for every channel, active BGP routes, and the current load of every server and network link.

Whenever a viewer showed up to the website, we’d do a relatively complicated query against this database to figure out which server to direct them to for the channel they wanted to watch. The net result was a system that showed video sooner, with less latency, and more cheaply than any of our competitors were able to achieve. I don’t know what their setup looks like these days, but this basic setup took them from before the Twitch.tv rebrand all the way to their Amazon acquisition.

There was a lot of tuning that we had to do to make this work (like running off of a ramdisk, and having a pool of read-only clones), and it certainly had its hair-tearing-out moments, but in retrospect it was absolutely the right choice. We kept expecting it to fall over, but the plan to shard the database onto multiple servers collected dust for years because there was always a way to get the performance gains we needed through basic tuning.
It's not clear that tabs are the best technical solution. For starters, why can't there be a text editor (or text editor feature) of rendering the leading spaces of a line with a flexible size, so that the data itself doesn't have to be massaged to achieve the effect?

If some visually impaired people insist that 80 column punched cards are the best for them, do we switch to that? Or maybe we should all work with Braille or Morse Code? I'm not convinced by lowest-common-denominator arguments. Suppose that no code representation method suits every possible programming minority; do we give up and not code at all?

Here is a counterargument: I'm not switching to idiotic tabs even if doing so saves puppies from being drowned. Not caring is a perfectly valid argument.
Still my favorite SF writer of all time. I read the Witling in the 80's in high school. I have read every book he has written before and after that book. He peaked with the two books you recommended and has slowly gone down hill since then.
Wow that's pretty cool. Thanks for explaining it.

Microwave ovens also produce non-ionizing radiation so I imagine that they would be safe to place one's full body inside as well.

> Lélia Deluiz Wanick Salgado and Sebastião Salgado are a married couple...

It helps a bit to know that Sebastião Salgado is well-know as being a prolific photographer (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sebasti%C3%A3o_Salgado) with exhibitions around the world.

Of course, this doesn't mean that it wasn't an easy task, it's just to highlight that perhaps he had a different view of the nature after travelling a bit.
I guess the downvotes are because people are under the impression that you do need a passport to move between EU countries if you are an EU citizen, but of course this is not the case, and as it is not the case the passport itself does not gain any points from this property of EU citizenship.

>Not anymore a conspiracy theory. This is the actual big brother modeling our futures,

No. This is a company that gets 99% of its income from selling ad space doing what they need to do to keep advertisers, their customers, happy.

It is not a conspiracy, Big Brother isn't trying to censor you, YouTube is trying to keep their customers happy to keep money flowing in.

I'm tired of people complaining YouTube demonetizing, or removing, videos is some sort of state-sponsored censorship. We had this exact same thing happen to many firearm channels in the past couple of years and it had nothing to do with guns being evil and everything to do with some of the channels were doing outright dangerous things and that advertisers did not want to be associated with home-made ammunition (taofledermaus exists solely to shoot home made ammunition, stuff like lego heads/nails/pennies/wax/anything you can think of), bumpstocks (JerryRigEverything showed one when it was in the news, DemolitionRanch showed how to bumpfire without a bumpstock), what happens if I put the wrong caliber ammunition in a firearm (Demolition Ranch, also I believe King of Everything did this as well he also was in the news for at least two of his videos and had legal action taken against him for making explosives around the same time) and video series like:

"what happens if I shoot OBJECT with a 50 cal" DemolitionRanch 50-cal Fridays

"what happens if I microwave ammunition/loaded firearms/full magazines" DemolitionRanch

Etc.

People screamed this was some Orwellian, big brother, gotta oppress people, conspiracy and it was nothing more than YouTube doing CYA and attempting to keep their customers (the advertisers) happy.

As a creator or viewer you are NOT a customer of YouTube, you are the product.
Another option is to over provisioned spot instances, such that it would feel like a 24/7 instance, but cost like spot. However, you would probably need an automatic platform to achieve that.
It is sort of an issue. If anyone has an unencrypted disk and gets their computer stolen but not their login password, they would have access to their token when it's stored unencrypted, but if it were stored encrypted, they wouldn't have access to it. Atlassian's response is basically a cop-out. I've barely used Electron but I know about node-keytar.

SSH keys can be encrypted even if the disk isn't encrypted, and the password in /etc/passwd is usually hashed and will take a lot of guesses to crack if they have a good password.
Lol, my HOA can barely get enough people to attend the HOA meetings to even establish a quorum
Agreed. Being of the Libertarian mindset, I was at first completely okay with it under the argument of personal liberty and personal property. It's a private company and they can do what they want.

But the closer I looked at it the more I realized that it truly is a public space. And then when powerful political figures started influencing what was okay to censor on it I realized they are trying to do an end-run around the actual law via technicality. No need for the government to censor anything when they can just get the technocrats to do it for them. And everyone seems okay with it, so long as it's not them.
A horrible trend over here in Germany and Austria are stone gardens. Not the artisan Japanese style, but the supposedly-no-maintenance-dead-as-can-be-heat-traps. It's so horrible that a few towns have started to outlaw them for new-builds.

I like openbsd. I like their attitude (even if many don’t) I like what they’ve given to the UNIX-likes, and what they strip away due to complexity (removal of Bluetooth) or lack of decent UX (wpa_supplicant), or just potential issues (removal of Hyperthreading)

I know it’s probably controversial to mention it; but I’m also glad they didn’t buy into the code of conduct saga that waved over FreeBSD and eventually Linux.

I’ve used the OS as a daily driver, it certainly was nice, albeit slow. I would go back if I could avoid some of the Linux/MacOS stuff I really need. I still use it on personal servers and I still really love it.

I send them €50/mo but I don’t feel like it’s enough. I wish they had more resources to bring things like AC Wi-Fi to the fold. Truly impressive work to all involved.
Yeah, I've been using Mathpix for almost a year now and this seems practically the same.

Unless they are deliberately avoiding comparison to Mathpix, they are quite unaware of the competition out there :|

Axel,

Look at my HN profile and contact me, so I can send you an email and ask you something. Or, put a way to contact you in your HN profile.
WTF? Now this is getting weird.
Or the case of discovering a great show on Netflix/HBO, binging all available seasons, only to discover that 4 more seasons have aired, and Netflix/HBO just didn’t bother enough to renew the seasons.

Or show is only available on the Nth $9.99/mo streaming platform, and I already pay for 3 others. Normally I sign up for a trial with a fake email address (getnada is great!), but some require a (valid) credit card, and I don’t have an unlimited supply of those.

Or the show simply isn’t available in your geographic region.

Medical workers coming in from other countries can suppress wages, but enough to cause a significant price difference in cost of health care? We also don't know the dynamic effects of a labor shortage. Maybe Germans would switch jobs into the medical field and the wages won't rise that much?
The fact that this is centralized, based on fiat, easily connected to social media accounts, actually makes it the best way for governments to combat real cryptocurrency.

But I hope they don't figure that out, and give Ethereum and Bitcoin time to finish their scaling efforts.
I've been saying for a while that we'll get to the point where anyone fighting for Free Speech will get painted as a racist because the censors will claim "free speech is a racist idea" and it appears we're pretty close.

How much of our classic liberty are we willing to lose in the pursuit of tribalism? The retort I hear when I complain about censorship is "haha you conservatives used to love the free market", not realizing not everyone who supports free speech and is anti-corporate is a conservative!

EDIT: These corporations cynically manipulated society's tribalistic nature to impose something that should've had bipartisan opposition. The good news about things like this is it's a great way to develop that bipartisan opposition, many people who've been wearing blinders will say, "hey wait a minute, that's my voice you're shutting down, and I'm not a bad person."

EDIT 2: I'm not here to defend Jordan Peterson or white supremacists. Just saying that moves like this will at least drive more than just two kinds of people away from YouTube, which was "people who love liberty and white supremacists" which of course makes the liberty people miserable.
That's my point, but I'm not taking a position on it (at least within this comment thread - I've got plenty of personal views on it that I apply to my personal life).

I'm pointing out that there's a continuum between total individual liberty, where everybody does exactly what they want, and living in a larger society of people, where your actions affect others and there need to be some sort of constraints on them. We've been picking points along this continuum for centuries, and sliding slowly towards more restrictions on individual liberty for the benefit of society simply because population density is higher now. The point we're at now, where we accept that giving your children over to an institution to be raised for half their waking childhood is normal but cameras in the classroom are abhorrent, is an arbitrary artifact of what we grew up with in our own childhoods. In the next generation, perhaps they'll view cameras in the classroom as normal but Matrix-style pods as abhorrent. Someday perhaps they just won't think, the same way a mitochondria (once an independent organism!) doesn't think too much about being a component of our cellular makeup.

It's extremely tedious to type formulas in MS Word... an insane amount of clicking around the toolbars and then clicking in boxes. In my experience Latex is far easier.
If you don't have access to such a device, the probability you'll do something with it is zero. Getting them into the hands of many people increases the chance that some of those people will actually do something worthwhile. They're cheap enough that you can tinker without losing a lot of money if you break it, and if it goes unused it's not a huge loss either.

i dont spray chemicals on my lawn nor do i seed/fertilize it - i just mow it really short every 1-2 weeks so it is pleasant enough for kids to play on and not get pricked by prickly weeds.

There is a lot more to scientific computation than statistics, and the only thing R is good at is statistics.
Yep, same. I'm not ready to flee Linux just because of the CoC, though. Need to stand our ground.
Progress indicators that moving perfectly and steadily are probably time based, but I'd have thought they've always been work based. Example: you know you have to copy 20GB across the network; update the progress bar with 'percent of data complete' periodically (on a timer, in the byte copying loop, whatever.)

I've seen dual progress bars: one for "overall progress" (each one of five tasks fills this bar 20%) and one for the current task (maybe downloading, maybe unpacking, maybe copying, maybe waiting for hardware to reply...)

My favorite part was how s-l-o-w-l-y the "How Can We Help?" dialog sank when I clicked Send to Bottom.

I also appreciate how it would reappear and block the interface.

AWS spot instances for gpu can have availability issues as well or sometimes be priced higher than on demand (still trying to understand that one).

If you do choose to run spot at aws (gpu or otherwise) be sure to check out the excellent project at autospotting.org and donate if you use it. Makes it super easy to replace on demand nodes in an ASG with spot nodes and always make sure you’re getting a good price.

> I will never be able to afford Photoshop

Seriously? It’s $10/month on the Photography Plan, and you get Lightroom and some online storage in the same bundle as well:

https://www.adobe.com/creativecloud/photography.html

I get that $120/year is significant, but it doesn’t take much payback in terms of time saved to make it worthwhile. If you can’t squeeze $120/year of use value out of Photoshop and Lightroom, you probably don’t do enough image editing and photography to make any photo app worth buying.
Being a dual-GPU model, it really can only fit half the total memory in the majority of cases, because sharing memory across GPUs is far slower and more difficult to implement.

This just sounds like a member of the old guard being uncomfortable with progress. His arguments dont seem very strong, questions over why plants would have such a capacity.

Dang, wasn't aware - that's discouraging. However I was not suggesting Vimeo is 'clean' - don't know enough about the ethics/track record of any of those services enough to imply that Vimeo is anything except another option for hosting videos.
If you can get VPS for $5 a month, I kind of don't feel like running some old hardware at home is worth $30. Ofc depends on what you use it for. For NAS I would rather buy actual NAS which would have Plex and other stuff and would take a lot less in power than old computer and would be a lot better in terms of storing data.
To be fair the 4 bumps the devices up out of the awkward "somewhat better than an Arduino, but still kinda crappy at almost everything" the 2 and 3 were stuck in. Much better I/O speeds, h265 and 4k, enough memory (and dual-monitor support!) to run a real desktop workstation on it. I skipped the 3 because two of my three Rpi2s were gathering dust after the novelty wore off and they proved to be too weak to repurpose for much of anything useful (one hangs on as an MPD server) but the 4 is way, way more capable.

You forgot the part about how Emperor G would come and burn your house to the ground if you tried to build outside the city because building houses was his idea.

But wait, they didn't invent building houses. But Arbiter W lives in the walled city and the Emperor gives him gifts. Arbiter W considers Emperor G to be the person who owns the idea of building houses, and Aribter W is the one that sent the arsons out to your place, so you are now shit out of luck with a burning house.

>Speed is Stellar

>Speed is not a concern for me.

Is he saying that speed isn't a concern for him in general? If so, why mention that the speed is stellar, then? Or is he saying that the system is so light in general that he doesn't suspect speed will become a problem down the line?
