As someone who restores old Teletype machines, I don't consider little key units with clickers in them to be a "mechanical keyboard". On a real mechanical keyboard, like a Teletype or an IBM Selectric, you cannot push two keys at once. The mechanism resists that.
This threw me off too so I'm unsure. But it really sounds like much bigger leaps than what is conventionally believed.
Jim Balsillie – ‘Data is not the new oil – it’s the new plutonium’
a nuclear site would never be cheaper than solar energy. I mean in the next 20-40 years it might have been cheaper. unfortunatly the site needs to be cleaned up in a process that costs multiple billions of euro and the storage for the factory is still not ready for the next thousands of years and is also really costly in germany.

in germany solar energy has two problems:

- trash (there is no long term storage and there probably will never be one that can sustain 1000+ years)

- cleanup of land (germany is small and has a lot of people we need to use our space without wasting it)
No organization ever managed to land on the moon so far on the first try. My guess is that this won't be any different.
Fairly little, actually. The main difference you'd see is:

1) It's a 30-watt bulb, so I'd be a lot darker than you'd be used to/would be usable

2) It's gotten even darker, so it would be almost completely useless by now.

3) Because of the lower wattage, it's basically been used more gently than any bulb you'd use now-a-days

Basically, you'd probably replace it about as soon as the current ones anyways.
Do it dude! Ads are one way, but also look at Patreon for subscribers.

If it's related to people's individual political preferences, and delivers easy to consume information to those who want to learn about their political environment yet feel lost in the process of figuring it out, then it's likely that people wouldn't mind donating a dollar or so a month to get that information. Also, people would really value the fact that it wouldn't be a matter of taking a politician by their words but by there actions. It'll cut through the bullshit for a lot of voters/users.

For linear algebra, the YouTube channel 3blue1brown has a truly excellent series on linear algebra; I found it was the best intro to the subject avaliable.
I’m really sorry that happened to you, Steve.
Yes, but that’s not “reversing” so much as completely rebuilding soil, which takes decades of no farming and no tillage.

A lot of loss can also be trivially reduces by planting rows of trees between fields, which I saw all over the place in NZ, but haven’t seen elsewhere.
Right but if you can't make money on something then there's a cap on how good it can be. E.g. say what you want about Facebook, but it wouldn't be nearly as polished if it were made by only Zuckerberg working 5 or 10 hours a week in his spare time.
This all came out of Boeing wanting to maintain "type identity" (my own term) of the Max with previous 737s, to reduce Boeing's certification cost and schedule, and airlines' retraining costs and schedules.

I wonder how much of those "savings" has already been eaten, and at what date they are surpassed.
1. When learning something, learn it in small chunks — like reading a chapter at a time from a book. Then write things down on paper and review regularly.

2. Keep a bullet journal[1] for learning new things.

3. Try explaining what you learn to your spouse, friend, coworker, and see if they can understand it. If you’re able to explain it in simple enough terms then most likely you have mastered that. Also, teaching reinforces your knowledge.

I understand the discussion is about fats in general, but we have extremely reliable evidence that saturated fat causes heart disease, the #1 killer of men and women, our parents and grandparents. I'll quote HackerNews user cageface because s/he said it so well (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16566968):

"Literally hundreds of metabolic ward studies (the gold standard in nutrition) have demonstrated a direct, causal relationship between saturated fat intake and blood cholesterol levels. And the correlation between high cholesterol levels and CVD has been known for decades. Don't be fooled by observational studies which fail to disentangle the highly variable baseline individual cholesterol levels from the effects of fat in the diet.
Here is a review of 395 direct feeding experiments, which are much more appropriate for measuring the effects of diet:"

Ha, the trackpoint is a necessity for me too. I have acquired various Thinkpad USB and bluetooth keyboards so that my desktop and home media computers also have it. I feel a bit baffled if forced to use a trackpad on someone else's machine. I've been doing this for almost 20 years, since I first learned on a Thinkpad T20.

However, I also use Fedora Linux almost exclusively, and have suffered through several shifts in the drivers and input systems. There were times that my desktop trackpoint became much harder for me to use, as the behavior of the cursor went haywire. I was never able to find configurable parameters to put it completely back to normal, but instead had to also retrain my fingers a bit.

I find that I am much more "fluent" on my laptop with a 1080 screen. On my desktop with side-by-side 4K screens, my efforts are a bit spastic. I have traded off precision so that I can get the cursor around all that real estate without coffee breaks in the middle of long movements. But, trying to grab window corners and other small targets can be a bit hit or miss as I over-shoot.

IIRC, it was between Broad and Cedar off of First, back on the lot toward Post Alley, across from the Labor Temple. Any pics I have are buried somewhere in storage, unfortunately.

Edit: It might've been between Broad and Eagle. It's been almost 30 years and the neighborhood has completely changed.

It was directly uphill from the Union 76 Superfund site, which might be the sculpture park now. I remember watching the trucks swoop in one day as they put up fences around the site. Our property was managed by a somewhat crazy SEIU member who was a direct descendant of a surviving male member of the Donner Party.

This is true. But in this case it seemed this was a very determined effort, not just a way to relax, but to actually strive to accomplish something during a 10 year's span.

I believe such great determination would be better applied to something less virtual. 10 years is a large chunk of our life and you can accomplish lot in 10 years if you are determined.

> if y = z + a * (x - z) then 1.) f(y) = f(x) + a * (f(x) - f(z))

This is incorrect, isn't it?

It should be 2.) f(y) = f(z) + a * (f(x) - f(z)) if I'm not mistaken.

For example, consider f(n) = n + 1

- z=1, x=2

- f(z)=2, f(x)=3

- f(z + a(x - z)) <=> f(1 + a); for a = -1, we should get f(0) = 1,

Substituting into 1.) yields 3 + -1 * (3 - 2) = 2 (incorrect)
Substituting into 2.) yields 2 + -1 * (3 - 2) = 1 (correct)
> But why does that generosity extend only to our own kind?

No. Use a VPN.
I'm not big into politics but my understanding is these click bait bills are drafted and thrown out on a weekly basis. The purpose of these bills that will never pass is so when people try to get re-elected they can say things like "I tried to stop Facebook from interfering with our financial system" or something along those lines that appeals to their base.
Yes, doctors are very smart and well trained. But medicine as a whole has a lot of completely insane practices.

For example, have you ever tried to sleep in a hospital? They generally run very cool, daylight temperature lights 24/7, with tons of noisy machines, and the nurses wake patients every hour.

And it's not just the patients who are getting their circadian rhythms destroyed, the residents themselves are doing 30+ hour shifts. It dates back to the first medical residency, started by William Stewart Halsted who was a cocaine fiend and expected everyone else to keep the same hours.

We know that sleep deprivation impairs your driving ability just as much as being drunk. So why do we accept doctors and nurses being sleep deprived?
Disclaimer: I work on decentralized cryptocurrencies.

I think your claims are flawed.

You missed the whole "Big Tech" part of this bill. In fact, I'd argue Facebook has probably encroached more on our liberties than any other American institution.

If you read the bill, it's about preventing Facebook from becoming a finance company, to prevent it from circumventing finance regulations.

The international monetary system is built on government-managed central banking. This is why modern economics are so stable (and a huge player in post-WW2 growth). Governments did away with private currencies a long time ago, and for better or for worse it is a pillar of 21st century economics.
> but I can't figure out monetization.

Seriously? This is the thing stopping you? It doesn't sound so much like you care about democracy so much as making money. Clearly you can use ads but that isn't very profitable. You have to ask yourself, which is more important: democracy or the time you put in to make the app. You can even make that decision AFTER you have made the app (you don't have to figure out monetization first)
Absolutely. After the first crash I made sure none of my future flights were on one, and all of the articles that continue to come out about the 737 MAX seem to indicate that Boeing is a cost-cutting safety-skirting company that can’t be trusted to not kill people. I’d gladly pay an extra $50 to not be a guinea pig for their fixes.
Unfortunately, he doesn't do that. There's an even more complicated formula under that which is supposed to be related to the slope of some line and a ratio between b and a (I think?) and then I'm guessing he reduces it, but doesn't explain how he did it.

I've tried learning calculus 3-4 times during my life, using materials for an "absolute beginner", and this has always been my experience, as if one were teaching programming by going from "This is a variable. It can store data." directly to "A monad is a monoid in the category of endofunctors." To this day I have no idea what calculus even is, or what it's for.
Either he's ignorant, or he thinks the target audience are morons. Either way, it's not good, but I think the second possibility would make him a bullshitter, and that should not be allowed to go unanswered in civil discourse.

The reason I say that is because the metaphor does not work. There are in fact airlines who do not charge baggage fees, there are in fact travelers who don't take baggage. In the case where there's a baggage fee and a traveler with baggage, paying the fee means you get to take your bag. You do get something for the fee, even if you don't like that the airline charges extra for it.

Meanwhile, you get nothing for a resort free. If you refuse to pay, you're refusing the entire transaction. If this CEO is broadcasting bullshit, then he's a bullshitter. It'd be better if he's just ignorant about what he's saying, everyone's an idiot about something or other. But to be a bullshitter? That's bad for the brand to hire. Makes it stink. And I don't care to stay at a Marriott as much as I did before reading this.
Maybe they have the benefit of learning from the failures of other countries? Not sure how much space agencies share information with each other.
In the USA, one simply has to contact their representatives to let them know about their opinions. They track it, whether you want to believe that or not. Whether they use it or not is another story, but we're not a direct democracy here, so we elect representatives to make decisions for us.

> I've thought of building an app where voters could enter their opinions and be notified whenever their representatives vote for or against their views, but I can't figure out monetization.

Have you read a bill? It’s filled with “replace subsection (a) with subsection (b)” and other legalese because they’re literally making law. You either have to be knowledgeable enough to understand the bill, or take the politician’s word on what the bill says, or rely on a news article summarizing what the bill says, or rely on the activist group who projects the unintended and intended effects of the bill.

Sounds like you want to create a news organization that has your editorial judgment, accessible with a fancy custom app that uses “machine learning” or whatever buzzword’s being used.

Doesn't that also potentially undermine democracy? Ads are specifically intended to sway peoples thinking. I know this already happens with politics but do we really need more tools to influence people? (Yes we can do it for good, but there's equal potential for bad) I'm not saying we should, but I'm saying we should think about this before that kind of data is mass gathered and sold.
what are some common k8s debugging rabbit holes that people have to go down on the day to day?
As some of the other comments have mentioned, kubernetes is “multitenant capable”, but the questions come down to:

1. Do you understand all the primitives and how they interact

2. Do your use cases require some or all of these primitives be bypassed (host network, root containers, custom extensions / operators), which may invalidate most security

3. Are the human costs to manage 1 and 2 less than the human/infra costs to manage multiple clusters?

Many applications have a few assumptions that violate “safety on a single machine” - databases use raw block devices, processes run as root by default. The harder it becomes to isolate an app on a single machine, the harder it is to isolate that workload on a cluster.

In addition, the moment you install something above kube (helm, ingress controllers, operators that can read or write secrets across namespaces) you start to blur the security boundaries at a cluster level and thus make it harder to reason about who can do what. It’s a lot like the Linux kernel / userspace separation - everything secure is in the kernel, but if a driver or subsystem has a vulnerability that tends to compromise the whole kernel.

I would suggest most people run multiple clusters until you get to the point where you have cluster sprawl (and are paying for a ton of redundant / idle infra), and then start either with an opinionated distro designed for picking all the defaults for you (OpenShift, a few of the other vendors) or hire someone who can design a top to bottom policy (and even then you’ll want multiple clusters for failure isolation).
There are professionals using FCP.

Why do you think that the keyboard is the problem, and not the indoctrination of "this is the right way to type and posture" leading to further stress?

In fact, in my admittedly small sample of others I know who do have problems with their wrists, they were all ones who tried very hard to rigidly conform to the "standard" posture and move only the fingers of the hands instead of the whole arm. They were also people who hit the keys much harder than necessary.

I use a standard flat QWERTY keyboard and I can type for hours at 150+ WPM with no problem, but I've had comments from some of those people above that I'm not doing it right... when they're the ones who are getting pains in their wrists, not me...

If you try to keep your hands parallel to the keyboard no matter what, you are going to stress your wrists. Let them approach at whatever angle feels comfortable, and relax. That also happens to be the "trick" to typing faster too --- if you expend effort on trying to be "strict" about posture rather than just hitting the keys in whatever you feel to be the most comfortable way, you'll tire quickly, type slower, and stress your joints more.

My brother-in-law, who has a mental disability, saw a gastroenterologist for abdominal pain. They found worms and prescribed him a drug to get rid of the worms.

The doctor said the worms could cause abdominal pain, but then again in most cases they don't, so he also put him on a drug for irritable bowel syndrome.

After a couple of weeks, the stomach pain went away, but meanwhile my brother-in-law was having issues with mental coherence, drowsiness, and sleep disturbances. Other people who interacted with him were concerned about him, too. He has a mental disability and diabetes and other health issues, so our first thought was the usual suspects, not his IBS medication, but eventually I realized that neither my wife nor myself knew anything about it, so I looked it up.

It turned out the new medication was an antidepressant with a laundry list of side effect, including drowsiness and sleep disturbances. We weaned him off it, and he came back to normal pretty quickly. No stomach pain, either.

So, to sum up, the doctor saw a patient with worms and abdominal pain and decided to put him on an antidepressant for the rest of his life because the kind of worm infestation he had would only cause pain in a minority of cases.
