I had blood and urine and hair with high mercury levels - but according to you remote comment diagnosing "specialist" I'm a psycho.

Also, my jaw was in a bad state - a needle meant for mucosa injection went right deep in - in exactly all the places where I had had amalgam fillings. Nothing ever showed up in x-ray - which is normal, bone damage shows up in x-ray only when it's extreme (although a needle easily penetrating bone already is quite extreme). The doctor injected DMPS (chelator), the jaw healed.

Also, an double-size right-side thyroid with a nodule, stable for 2.5 decades, within half a year completely disappeared to the great amazement of my endocrinologist who had recommended surgery. There was lots of activity in the tissue around that area in my neck starting after I got chelation.

Warts on my feet, getting more and more numerous over the decades, completely gone.

Winter depression, psoriasis, colds (before diagnosis lasting the entire winter, getting longer and longer), eye issues, comprehension issues, digestion was bad and now is wonderful, - a long list of stuff JUST GONE NOW.

Look in a mirror for who is the quack, not to mention that with your accusation and remote diagnosis you are being quite an asshole.

The doctor I'm seeing is a researcher at a university clinic and always talks in "studies" and is very careful, never making any promises, always cautious with recommendations, preferring to do as little as possible. When I went there he said I must have something else, the levels of mercury found justify chelation treatment but are not high enough to explain all my problems. He never found anything else and improvement was far exceeding expectations. With chronic poisoning most of the stuff is hidden and comes out slowly, so yes, lab measurements usually cannot show it, I was "lucky" I had such highly elevated values. The doctor also makes no money - the university clinic charges a tiny bit (Germany, not US, it's next to nothing because there is nothing expensive, no medical imaging, just a few cheap lab tests, the chelators, DMPS and DMSA, some minor additions, are extra but inexpensive).

Motorbikes? Or electric bikes?

I must say I'm not that bullish (on bikes and electric bikes). Shopping, hills, rain, children all combine to mean they can't really do 100% of journeys. And human nature will ensure that that big expensive chunk of metal gets used as much as possible to make it worth the cost.

Of course our car powered present doesn't involve 100% car transport so you could still be right, and it's still worth aiming for.

Ps, if that counts as curmudgeonly I certainly have no hope, now get of my lawn.
> Why are people assuming racism?

Because a huge number of black people in America describe a frequency and quality of interactions with police that are vastly different from white people's described experiences, claims which are backed up by horrifying anecdotes (like this story, or the seemingly weekly story of some other small town police department that was "shocked" to find it had officers in the local KKK chapter) and larger scale statistics on law enforcement.

That is a strong prior. Coupled with the utter stupidity of testing bird shit on the outside of a car to see if it's cocaine, it seems entirely fair to conclude this was motivated by some amount of racism.
I would expect the target groups "allows Avast bloatware on his computer" and "uses DuckDuck Go" are completely disjunct. Makes me wonder how valuable their data really is.

But it seriously limits any sort of appeal it may have to regular folk who don't really care about that anonymity.

In the case of Liberty Reserve and e-gold, just their mention becomes a huge red flag for any legitimate activity. Cryptocurrency is basically there too, particularly as it's a worse system in pretty much every other way.

Does the bottom half own less than nothing when summed, or does every person in the bottom half own less than nothing?
I made a project, I messed around with the components, and I exported it. There weren't any tests or docs. That's very disappointing.
The goal of the Chinese leadership seems to be Singapore - a rich, rules-driven, low-corruption dictatorship. That would satisfy at least some of the demands of the Chinese public.

The “therefore” is misplaced; curated snippets aren't always correct, either.
Did you know in Rome they didn't really have a rigid conception of heterosexuality? There were really only active, and passive partners in the sexual act. That was the distinction that mattered, and Hadrian was just seen as having "Greek taste". Also romans shat in public prolifically, as seen in the many pieces of graffiti warning people against doing it near shopfronts and people's homes. People shouldn't romanticise what they don't understand :)
Or (3) stop the inane practice of selling seasonal/annual passes. That's added crowding without corresponding revenue.

The old Leaf is, too. Pretty much any Leaf from 2012, onwards.

If you are in the UK and have a Leaf with a 30kWh battery or larger, you can participate in a V2G trial:

Technically, Leafs with 24kWh batteries work, too, but they aren't normally accepted in the trial as there is not enough capacity to be worthwhile.
Laws everywhere are pretty much saying your take is wrong. There is no such thing as an implicit contract, and your take on it is plain victim blaming.

It is very surprising to read this on a board where many people write code: if a dev found unlicensed code, they would certainly not think it is public domain.

Yup - specifically, the neoconservative philosophy that said that now that the USSR was gone, the US had the power and hence the responsibility to reshape world political power structures in whatever way it thought was right.
Meanwhile, up at SFO, I had a few sips in a fancy water bottle. They wouldn't let me drink or dump the water. They escorted me, past like three bathrooms/water fountains, back to the other where I drank it while back in line.
AFAIR "easily" is a stretch -- there are highly efficient combined-cycle gas-turbine plants, and I think some of those actually get above 50% efficiency.

For most thermal generation, however, it's Carnot-cycle limits which get you down, and that's governed by hot vs. cold side efficiency.

Coal actually has some of the higher efficiencies, in some cases, exceeding 45%, though whether that's through high temps or combined cycle I'm not sure. (I'm not defending coal, just noting efficiency numbers I've encountered.)

Update: Wikipedia's language is "possibly 62%" efficiency, FWIW:

The article is talking mostly about long term interest rates (on 10, 20, 30 yr government bonds). Those are set by the market, by a simple demand/supply mechanism on individual bond issues. Things like QE have some impact, but the impact is hard to gauge. The central banks normally determine only the short term interest rates (up to 3-6 months).

Note that even as QE is being slowly reversed in the United States and the short term interest rates have been raised - the 10yr, 20yr, 30yr treasury yields are still tanking like crazy. So it is not the fault of the central banks, which is the point of the article.

In short - people are buying bonds which eventually drives the yield below zero. There's no rule that says "a bond can only be sold at below the levels that the 0% yield implies", therefore brace yourself for the possibility of breaching this level. For any currency, including USD.

Google (and virtually every other search engine) has always included content with links, what's different now (but not unique to Google, though they are perhaps the most advanced at it) is that now it algorithmically synthesizes content instead of merely aggregating it.

The EHang 184 looks more promising.[1] That has four sets of contra-rotating props, so there's some redundancy. Flight time 23 minutes, so it's a demonstrator, not something useful. Like the others, it's a scaled up quadrotor drone. This concept needs a higher battery energy density to work.

Someone recently flew a jet-powered "hoverboard" across the English channel.[2] That thing is powered by several large model aircraft jet engines. It's much like the Hiller Flying Platform of 1954.[3]

If you like strange VTOL craft, many of them are in the Hiller Aviation Museum in San Carlos, CA.

Also check out the famous AvroCar flying saucer.[4] The US National Archives has uploaded the declassified videos to YouTube. The first video, before the first flight, was classified SECRET. The second video, after the first flight, was only CONFIDENTIAL. The third and final video was UNCLASSIFIED, because it didn't work. The thing was sent to what is now NASA Ames to see if it was good for anything. The video shows it bumping around a meter or two off the ground, pretending to be a hovercraft. The original goal was a supersonic VTOL aircraft. Not even close. The U.S. Army canned the project in favor of the Huey helicopter, which actually worked.

Two things I would change:

1. The latency selector should be plain numbers, to avoid coloring the perception by the emotional terms used

2. Currently the letters appear with a delay, but the cursor advances immediately (could be my browser) - there is instant visual feedback, which probably reduces perceived latency

Say someone buys a used car for $10K. Typically that is their only car, that they use work. They can't sell it because then they'd lose their job and probably be unable to buy food etc. So where is the cash value?

IMO "net worth" is kind of fuzzy, e.g. people have organs that could be sold for profit but those aren't included in calculations. I'd rather look at income minus expenses.
And they replace them with their stuff? You imply foul play but there is nothing in the list.
This is why most platforms provide both raw and semantic events: mousedown and mouseup are instantaneous and reflect the raw input, but click is meant to describe user intent to initiate an action. Leaving the raw events for games but requiring semantic events for dangerous actions seems like a decent compromise.
The top Google hit for "yices alarm" is currently the exact Hacker News comment you've replied to. I wonder if Google adapted its search results based on that very comment? Maybe their algorithms shrewdly give more weight to fixing search results when the context mentions Google ("I googled for...", "Google didn't work when...", etc.) and the site is high profile (like HN). That would be very crafty.

Any DDG users notice how it does the same thing with the top StackOverflow answer? From the user's perspective it's fantastic, but I assume it's legally at least a grey area. Considering how aggressively SO is monetising now they'll probably come after them before long. (Of course, DDG's userbase is pretty small, but probably a not insignificant share of developers.)

Google is so powerful you can't do without them

I wonder how true that assumption really is any more. The quality of traffic Google drives to sites I operate is very low compared to all other major sources, with much less engagement by any metric you like, notably including conversions. The only reliable exception is when we're running marketing campaigns in other places, which often result in spikes in both direct visitors landing on our homepage and search engine visitors arriving at our general landing pages.

There is this conventional wisdom that SEO, and in particular playing by Google's rules to rank highly in its results pages, is the only way you can run a viable commercial site these days. Our experience has been exactly the opposite: our SEO is actually quite effective, in that we do rank very highly for many relevant search terms, but it makes a relatively small contribution to anything that matters. And really, when I write "SEO" here, I'm only talking about general good practices like being fast, having a good information architecture and working well on different devices. We don't change the structure of our pages just because Google's latest blog post says X or Y is now considered a "best practice" or anything like that.

Of course I have no way to know how representative our experience is. YMMV.
Telemetry, probably; imagery, definitely not. (They sell this imagery, it's not public information like NOAA data.)
>Are you suggesting the victim is "oppressors" to the protestors? Or, are you suggesting anyone from "The state of China" should be tagged as "enemy"?

Anyone from China who given the chance does not surrender is fair game.

>How comes slaughter a human being (even if an enemy) becomes natural right in a civilized society?

If a party you have no prior social contract with endevours to threaten your existence you have every right to threaten theirs. Such people are undeserving of civility.

Isn't the whole point of a company to increase share price?

Do you think most people will know if their laptop if affected?

Yes. Apple sent out notifications to owners of recalled devices. That's why you should register your hardware (trivial in the case of a Mac notebook). In my case I plugged my serial number into the recall site when it was first announced (whilst not logged in to my Apple account) and was told my notebook (a refurb 2015 MBP) wasn't eligible. A couple weeks ago I got an email dictating otherwise.

Running the AC on that day is not expensive due to financial agreements. It's intrinsically a resource intensive thing to do.

When you sign up for a fixed rate, it's baked in to the price that you will fire up your AC if you feel like it even when the grid is at capacity and power is extremely expensive.

Paying market rate doesn't mean you are blocked from firing up the AC. It might cost you $100 during a heat wave, but you've paid your power company $100 less throughout the year because you haven't been paying in instalments for your peak consumption days.

Being able to say fuck it, I'd rather be uncomfortable and save $100 is empowerment, not a burden.

In aggregate, those that make this decision would provide a lot of economic benefit. The peak is reduced and whole power plants can be decommissioned.

Large planes fly themselves on planned routes which avoid incursions by other planes by design: the function of air traffic control is to assign the routes such that incursions don't occur. In the event that the onboard collision avoidance system projects that another aircraft will come too close the warns the pilot with a recommended action. There is also a ground proximity warning system which issues warnings about collision with ground/mapped obstacles but again leaves it to the pilot to take the necessary action.

ATC relies upon surveillance radar that won't provide adequate coverage at low elevations (too many obstructions). ATC is also badly overstretched in busy airspaces coping with existing traffic. Adding a large number of new low-altitude aircraft will require new navigation technology (e.g. coordinating a swarm of vehicles in close proximity, relaying warnings about dangerous wind conditions or uncontrolled vehicles, etc)

Conditions in the air can be more treacherous than on a road: although there are more degrees of freedom the supporting air is also more variable than a road: wind shear and clear air turbulence can be perilous even for large aircraft, icing can quickly cripple aerodynamics, and in the event of failure safely halting can be problematic.
