"for each degree C increase in the mean atmospheric temperature increases its water carrying capacity on the order of 4.2 quadrillion kilograms"

I wondered if that would counteract the sea rises caused by melting sea ice, but.. no. Apparently a worldwide rise of 1 meter is caused by around 1 quintillion kg of melted ice.
CS conferences still have peer-reviewed papers. Authors do all of the work for making the final paper. CS does have journals, and it's much the same in that authors do almost all of the work. (I have one time seen changes to a journal article I was a co-author on come from people working for the journal. Every other time the literal pdf we provide is what got published.)
Trump to ban agencies from buying equipment or services from Huawei
Years ago I worked for one of Amazon's shipping operators, whatever we wanna call them, and the rumor was that Amazon had already squeezed contracts to the point that on their own merit these contracts were not or only barely profitable, depending on the math. It was said to be still interesting to have the contracts, for scale and reputation. But then it may just not be sour grapes for FedEx, but rather that the numbers weren't compelling them to stay in a relationship likely to be dumped from anyway, sooner or later.

Reminds me of how mobile phones used to be huge and then they did everything possible to make them smaller until they were way too small and had to double back a bit. Now the same thing is happening with thickness.
Lawns are under-utilized capacity. Mostly too small or poorly laid out (like, almost all front lawns, for instance) to be much use. A pain to maintain, and done individually rather than more cheaply and efficiently as a group. Every other house with a playset rather than having lawns half the size and a couple much nicer, maintained parks per block. They're absurd.

The service is different though. If you use Amazon as your warehouse, on the lower tiers, you just ship inventory and they sort it by SKU .. for all stores! So some supplier could store a bunch of counterfeits with the same SKU, someone orders from your store, and your customer get a counterfeit (even if you've only shipped real products). .. This is one big reason most sex toy manufacturers won't sell to retailers that have Amazon stores.

I'm going to guess UPS keeps warehousing separate per vendor.

Maybe they're trying to catch Amazon flat-footed? Rather than waiting until Amazon doesn't need them anymore, if they drop Amazon before Amazon is ready, they might be able to get them to come crawling back on better terms.
I absolutely meant "literally". It's also a "relatively common thing" in "many circles" for people to modify their cars to have tea kettles installed in the dashboard but since no car ships from the factory like that it's insignificant enough to be completely discounted.

I would switch to a synthesized alternative tomorrow if we could figure out diet today.

But it's still regularly promoted that the best way to see to a full diet is a natural diet along with any necessary supplementation because [from my limited memory] we don't have a full grasp on the complex interactions/delivery of nutrients.

A predisposition to a B12 deficiency runs in my family. In other family members it's more severe than others (for instance a B12 shot has been not enough to bring my mother back from near physical collapse and has required emergency blood transfusions).

I've often thought I had a handle on it—take a daily oral or sublingual tablet of 5000mcg (usually urinate most of it out pretty quickly) and added more red meat to my diet (per my doctor) but still I've noticed advancing effects occasionally. One more physically apparent one is slowly advancing Vitiligo—I'd had some spots for years but notice a new or expanding one every so often. It's a [physically] harmless symptom, mind.

Worse are some of the others I experienced in my earlier years that persisted before I was diagnosed. I still have bouts where I thought I was looking after myself and those periods of sensation loss/global pins and needles, nausea. It can be frightening, and quality of life plummets. It's no joke.

Topre Realforce. I have a 110 key at work and 10 keyless at home due to the smaller desk. For “real work” I use the keypad constantly, I never related to the argument that travel distance to the mouse was worth sacrificing the keypad.

The "unarmed black man shot and killed by police" is heavily pushed by media companies because, well, its an emotional issue that gets ratings, sells newspapers, and gets clicks. Same thing with "terrorist threats", shark bites, and airline crashes. People view it because it's dramatic and it sticks in your head more because of it.

This bias is called "availability bias" and it causes people to see the problem as much greater than it actually is.

Show HN: High Heels with Shock Absorption
I know, you may think this is not applicable to you. But if you just take a second, at least one women comes to your mind who loves to wear heels but cannot since they are extremely painful or who still wears and bears the pain with a brave face.

Aider shoes, http://aidershoes.com, has redesigned the high heels shoes with a stable shock absorber that will help reduce the impact on feet and help distribute the weight better across the feet. The heels still offer the same height benefit that users love to have, with reduced pain. As we progress, we will make multiple designs implementing the idea to meet user's design expectations.

We are getting ready to launch in a few weeks with a generic model that introduces shock absorption in high heels to women everywhere. It would be extremely helpful if you share our product details with your friends and family who you think would love to try and get benefited. Our social media handle is below. Not sure if it is acceptable to ask for followers here.

Would there be a chance of rust integration with these stronger types they mention?
Yup, that's because it's about averages.

To take a contrived and simplified example, imagine a hypothetical world in which everybody dies on their 90th birthday by default, but a handful of diseases cause 25% of the population to die on their 30th birthday instead. That brings the average life expectancy to 73.75y.

Now imagine a bunch of medical breakthroughs bring the 30-year-old mortality rate down from 25% to 7%. That enormous difference brings the average life expectancy to 85.45y.

That's in increase in life expectancy just shy of 16%, despite the fact that it comes from a 72% reduction in 30-year-old mortality rates.

That's obviously a massive oversimplification, and real distributions look different, but it illustrates the problem with just looking at average life expectancies; it makes it look like everyone's life span has just been scaled up by 16%, which is not the case. If you look at it from the perspective of, "what are the chances my life will be cut short by some preventable disease?", the magnitude of the change is much greater. Some of that change is due to very cheap innovations like bread-mold-as-antibiotic, and some of it is due to very expensive innovations like organ transplants. Either way, I for one am glad those days are over, despite the appealing economic simplicity.

> The fact of the matter is that no other career path even comes close to the risk-adjusted lifetime financial remuneration of becoming a doctor

Does that stat include doctors who didn't place into residency. This year, 1 in 5 med school grads didn't get a residency. Some of them will match next year, but it's typically considered a one and done process. That something many older doctors tend to forget.

You basically go $1 million in debt (between tuition and lost wages) for a 1 in 5 chance of being a complete financial wreck with a mostly useless degree since you can't become licensed.

Once you've made it being a doctor can be great. However, the process of getting there is absolutely brutal.

It's almost certain that the decriminalization or legalization of all drugs would be a massive boon for society.

As practical examples such as Portugal show, it generally leads to a significant drop in both drug use and the detrimental factors associated with it. More police time and money can be spent on real crimes, and jails are free from many non violent offenders.

The last last point is a particularly significant benefit for the USA as the justice system has such an irrational focus on punishment over rehabilitation, so most prisons serve more as criminal training camps.
I would argue against that nobody knows how to teach game design, I majored in Computer Science & Game Design at Northeastern University and their program taught us the relation between mechanics and emotion, asking the right questions, and understanding the challenge of player education. Of course, these are a minor subset of game design but are arguably some of the most challenging elements, especially to learn on your own.

In terms of self-education, I would recommend to play as many games as possible, and play them twice. The first, as a player: develop an emotional connection with the experience. The second, as a designer: look at everything under a magnifying glass and never stop asking "why did they do this the way they did?" Hope that helps, just my 2 cents.
At least three years to break even, versus paying for lawn service (for me, anyway), not counting opportunity cost from spending all that up front rather than over time. Gonna guess I'd spend more time fiddling with it than I do on lawn service (probably not more than a minute a week), plus looks like there's an installation process that'd take time. Limited warranty only lasts two years, not even covering the entire time it'd take to break even. Hard pass. Maybe when they're down around $750 and no less reliable.

[EDIT] plus the lawn service does edging. So. Really not competitive.
A) Almost all websites from newspapers and other outlets have many of the same advertising problems on them.

In fact, I would imagine sites like twitter have more control over the ads placed on them than many websites for local papers.

B) Whenever announcements or tweets or other newsworthy events are reported in the paper, I still like to go to the primary source to get the full context.

So, the solution you propose really is an incomplete solution that doesn't address the problem.

I think those mental gymnastics are the result of cognitive dissonance. There's discomfort resulting from the idea that some action could be unethical in a non-obvious way to someone intelligent enough to be in the tech industry (this is sheer hubris and ignorance of course), or that intelligence does not lead to ethical behavior; or the idea that ethics could or should limit either innovation or income; or the idea that externalities are unacceptable exploitation, i.e. it really is someone else's problem. And like any ordinary person, people are resolving the discomfort with dismissal.

The history of the hippocratic oath shows that despite its age, it didn't really become popular in medicine until 1000 years after it was written. Seems reasonably likely there was quite a lot of mental gymnastics in the medical profession, arguing against an oath.

Norway has several very long railways -- it's a very long country. Oslo-Trondheim is about 500 km, Trondheim-Bodø about 700 km, Oslo-Bergen around 480 km.

Taking the train instead of flying is a popular and relatively cheap activity in Norway. The rail journey, perhaps the Bergen route in particular, is prized for its scenic views. There's even a television program, famously broadcast on national TV, that shows the train journey in real time, filmed from a camera mounted on the front. (You can find it on YouTube. It's great, and it's spawned lots of imitators in places like Switzerland and Turkey.)

Getting to the rest of Europe by rail (via Sweden) is similarly cheap and convenient as an alternative to flying, even if it's slower.

None of these railways classify as high speed, of course.

It just isn't as big an accomplishment as it looks, since it was on a railway.

> Reminds me of how mobile phones used to be huge and then they did everything possible to make them smaller until they were way too small and had to double back a bit.

Is this accurate?

I was reading reviews of the Game Boy Micro a few years ago (written when the Game Boy Micro was released in the early 2000s). Many described the product as "as small as a cell phone". I found this funny—it's significantly smaller than smartphones today—including the original iPhone, by the way, which wasn't small when it came out.

I'd say the trend has been towards larger phones as we've begun to use them more and more. If you use something most of your day, you don't mind so much if takes up more pocket space.

You may be right in terms of thickness, although I think it's too early to call that a trend.
