> you will send them more money, on average, than if you purchased the items a la cart (on average)

a properly functioning rental mechanism should produce a maximum utiliztion of the object being rented. The savings to the consumer ought to come from the fact that an object you purchase isn't 100% utilized at all times, but the rental mechanism could make this the case, and therefore, produce a savings for the renter (you don't pay for under-utilization like you would for purchasing).
I've been in a few places with inside trees: Most notably, "Arby's" (a fast-food restaurant) and nursing homes.

Sometimes, places simply have a hole in the foundation that allows access to the ground. These holes often have more dirt on top and can support a rather tall tree. Other places have large containers of dirt which support smaller trees.

It really isn't much different than folks planting trees in the middle of the sidewalk or trees/shrubs in large pots outside, honestly, except for the fact that it won't rain indoors.
I can think of a system : at the next election, vote for a president with a program about systemic transparency and openness for all the agencies and organizations.
The protection-from-predators theory is interesting, and sounds plausible. I've always disliked nature that was too much groomed also, like perfect lawns, shaped bushes, parks with only two types of trees in them, or whatnot. Sterile, human-made nature. It always lacks diversity - there are few insects, fewer birds, and no larger animals in such environments. I always thought I disliked it because I love nature and wasn't stimulated enough by such barren wastelands, but I guess ut could actually be my monkey brain complaining about a lack of food/foraging opportunities there.

Right but the article also says that ⅓ of people who used then would have otherwise used a car. And I'd expect the actual number to be a bit higher because people like to appear healthy and green.

So they are displacing cars.

Deep web: 5 curious facts you didn't know about
in the short term, amazon may be willing to make a loss to acquire customers.

But in the longer term, the rental discount has to at least be balanced by the extra profit from the sales quota. If amazon then turn a dial to increase sales quota (or decrease the discount), they then stand to make significant profit on the captive customer (who may no longer have an option to move away at the same low cost).

I think this type of deal is anti-competitive, and should be prohibited under monopoly laws (i.e., using dominance in one market to leverage another market).
Most motherboards should have support, but you can double-check the memory QVL for each board to see for ECC UDIMMs to use. ECC support should be based on the AMD IMC (on chip) and AGESA and should work with all Zen CPUs except for the consumer APUs.

These scooters are quickly becoming a hazard on the streets. It's not designed for one person, I have seen couples riding, multiple teeagers, parents with kids riding them for joy without any protection for head or body. These idiots are putting themselves and others at risk and when the ride is over then just drop them at random places and move on. Hell I have seen some parked in the middle of side walk blocking the way. At night people and cyclists can slam into them.

I am amazed why the hell it's not illegal and it not saving anything as these are fun rides.
Oh look you created an incredibly inefficient, expensive and corrupted system to research drugs and now you claim you spend more on drug research than anybody. Have a pat on the back.
But some things translate much better than others: Django and Rails aren't that different (I'd also put Laravel in there). So I think the real problem is moving from a senior Django role to a senior Rails role and vice versa, but I see no reason why a 10 years Django developer can't get a mid-level Rails job (other than blatant age discrimination that is).

Based on the short literature research I did that's visible in my other comment, I came to some rough ideas on how to make a good sleep tracker. If there are people who want to work on it, feel free to reach out. Creating this as a side project might be something I was going to do anyway to learn about data science and some simple hardware hacking. It's currently 2nd on the list (only beaten by the 1st thing: prepping for interviews).

What I think that technically needs to happen at minimum is:

1. Movement

2. HRV

3. EEG (brainwaves)

That will be the minimum viable product that may become as good as polysomnography and bring sleep lab tech to your home. Dreem claims to be doing this, but it isn't clear whether their claims are true.

Companies like Zeo produced presumably good results, yet they are now bankrupt. It's quite infuriating to see. So there's a business model (or simply an organizational problem at Zeo at the time) and I'm not clear what it is. The tech is already here! For example, Somté PSG shows that it can be done, and I'm simply thinking to myself: this could be more user friendly, couldn't it? [1]

Marketing-wise, I think the following needs to happen:

1. Get multiple unrelated universities to test your device against polysomnography and iterate against it.

2. Once it's within the 90% agreement range, then even make a YouTube video about such tests. Keep testing it against the golden standard, because if you are as good as the golden standard, then you can really state you track sleep.

3. Also test different PSGs with each other, because while PSG is the golden standard, no study told to what extent they actually agree on sleep metrics. There probably are studies on it but they didn't test this (or comment on it even, I believe) when wearables such as a Fitbit were studied as well.

4. Make ridiculous cool claims like everyone is already doing. Really go for the full appeal to authority, like Dreem is doing (nothing new).

The words "well-maintained" and "curated" don't usually rhyme very well with "nature", IMO. Real nature is by definition unmaintained. When it's maintained it becomes a park/garden, and loses more or less all its diversity. Fine, if you just want to look at some green leaves (which is great in a city) but we shouldn't call it nature just because something is alive there.
If a future administration ever has the political power to implement totalitarianism we're stuffed. The lack of a mass surveillance system will not stop them as they will build one. Horrible totalitarian regimes have existed in the past with quite low-tech systems (e.g. East Germany, USSR).

I find this SO hard to believe. It just does not pass the bullshit test, you know?

How come the US spends zillions on drug research and then sells that research for pennies to everybody except themselves?

I mean the logical conclusion to me, is that the real value of this drug research is in fact much lower than the pharma industry pretends it to be, hence they can't sell it for such insane prices abroad as they can in the US where they control regulation.

Also, there is this comment which, if true, illustrates that point perfectly: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20582411
Do you have children? The idea of going car free when you need to take 50kg of stuff with you everywhere is terrifying.
That map is answering a different question.

> Which neighborhoods in America offer children the best chance to rise out of poverty?

A couple that could live in either location but is saving 2+k per month is very much not in poverty. A couple that can afford to send their kid through med school because they have well over a million extra in assets is hardly poor.
I suppose I could also argue if you value money over performance you would not upgrade at all. That's me right now.

I guess I am one of those people who absolutely hates the idea of swapping out the ram, motherboard and cpu just for a mid life upgrade. I would actually rather pay more to jump in at the beginning of a new era knowing I will be able to upgrade to a new cpu in 3 years time without upgrading everything else at the same time.
If a businessmodel is questionable from a societal viewpoint, then they shouldn't be surprised that some regulation hits them. See for instance Airbnb, where the businessmodel has become impossible in many cities already.
> You don't have gas or grocery insurance, do you?

Some people do have analogous "insurance" for gas or groceries: Anyone with a Sam's Club, Costco, or Amazon Prime membership pays a subscription fee so that they can get a negotiated discount on routine, affordable expenses.

So, yeah, I guess most "health insurance" could be more accurately called "healthcare buyer's clubs (that also happen to include some insurance)". Unfortunately, we're in the late stages of an economy where the buyer's clubs have eaten the entire market and are free to extract fat margins with little consequence.

> All these new green products only offer marginal improvements over their "non" green counterparts and never address making the manufactuering process green, which counts for the vast majority of the emissions of almost all goods.

Not for cars, not by a long shot. The vast majority of carbon emissions of a car are after it rolls off the assembly line.

> It doesn't take into account the CO2 footprint of the person doing the biking or walking.

This is carbon neutral because all the CO2 we exhale comes from atmospheric CO2 captured by plants (and then through the food chain up to us).

Now, of course food production has a carbon footprint because of harvesting, transport, processing, etc. but it quickly gets hugely complex to measure.

In any case, for the purpose of comparison they obviously restricted to the impact of the mean of transport. Your food or your carbon footprint in general does not change anything about that.

I'd like to raise that:

- If a future administration ever has the political power to implement totalitarianism, we're stuffed. The lack of an existing mass surveillance system will not stop them as they will build one.

- Most people's political leanings are already very easy to detect due to social media, social networks, financial donations, etc. So balloons don't seem to make it much worse.

- We can expect severe security threats in the future as WMDs become cheaper, more accessible and more powerful.. The police are not magicians - they need effective tools..

Just upgraded from my old i5-4430 to the new 3700x. I'm very happy for the performance upgrade but there are a couple issues. I had to install Ubuntu using the netboot image because of the RDRAND bug affecting systemd. Systemd has already been patched with a workaround but the old one is hardcoded in the standard Ubuntu ISO. As usual the drivers for new hardware are lacking on Linux, as far as I know temperatures and fan controls are off the table until Linux 5.4.

In that case using the correct word would render the title unambiguous and comprehensible to everybody. As it is written I read it as "who was responsible for the act known as the Maya Sacrifice?". As a non-native English speaker who learnt the language in a rather formal way, interpreting the word "sacrifice" as a verb is ungrammatical to me.

I think you underestimate the fossile fuel expenditure from agriculture, transportation, wastage, etc.

But it is true that if I walk into a forest and eat a wild grown apple, that CO2 is then from and in the normal carbon cycle and not any added fossile carbon.

Thanks - and wow! I had heard that they are good, but not this good. Since price per performance is pretty much what I always look at then AMD looks like a clear winner.

Some time ago I had just had a discussion on CPU choice with a friend and I think he went with Intel (citing something vague about "less problems"), and unfortunately I didn't look anything up then. It is sad in how little the general public knows about what is the best choice at any given moment and how long it takes for this knowledge to spread.
Re: the car, don't forget the impact of producing the car, and the totalt impact of the fossil fuel production chain.
Stockholm is not bad at all for a nature loving SW developer. I know lots of people who moved from here, to the valley (biggest opportunity), London/Berlin (bigger than Stockholm while still European cities) and lately some successful people started leaving for Singapore (taxes & climate reasons) but I don't think any of those offer the same nature opportunities. We have a pretty damn good tech/IT scene here, and from the city center you can go on a run and be in a huge, empty natural reserve forest within 20 minutes (it's about 2 miles out). You can also head out into the archipelago of 25,000 islands just east of the city. Lots of space, pretty unspoiled and accessible to all regardless of ownership, thanks to a law that gives the public the right to hike or camp anywhere in the country. I'd imagine there are few IT startup hubs that can compete in this. Portland maybe? Helsinki or the Baltics certainly have the nature, but smaller startup/tech scenes.
Um, I think you're wrong about the following claim. Let's use wireguard as an example.

> PFS however would not prevent the following more likely scenario: the police asks for the key, and effortlessly decrypts everything from now on. PFS doesn’t provide post-compromise security, which is far more important.

Wireguard achieves PFS using regular ephemeral diffie-hellman key exchanges. If I understand the scenario you describe, Police has initial (long-term) key (from either endpoint or both) and taps VPS traffic. The long term key can probably be used to get the initial negotiation of the tunnel, but after the first ephemeral key exchange it can't decrypt any more of the traffic. Why? Well both endpoints kept their secret (random) portion of the key exchange on their machine, and continually wipe it (and the derived key) after every key exchange. So police needs the interstitial derived keys from either endpoint to decrypt the traffic. But it'll be probably too late after the conversation is over.
Factually incorrect.
