I'm a former Disneyland CM, I strongly suspect lower attendance is a desired goal.

If my memory is correct, Disneyland can accommodate around 60,000 (aka a 60k day) without having to shut the gates to prevent further entry - and the park feels.. well packed - Disney over time has made AP's less viable for frequent visits to reduce overcrowding, raising ticket prices accomplishes the same thing, a 45k day with everyone paying an average of 60 bucks a head, is just as profitable as a 60k day with and average of everyone paying 45 a head. The difference is the 45k day is a whole lot more pleasant for everyone, and puts far less strain on park infrastructure, on a 50+ day, an attraction going out of service puts a tremendous load on other things nearby (vending, merch, and foods), on a 45k- day, the load is much much less.

for reference, a 50k day by the way, was not abnormal when I worked there in the early 00's. - and a 55k day was seen weekly or more during summertime.

Scaffoldhub looks cool. I can see how Divjoy looks like it's more geared towards marketing sites since that's pretty much what's in the component library right now. Going to be adding a lot of dynamic components over the next few weeks (think dashboards, social media feeds, activity dropdown menus, etc) and figuring out how to cleanly connect all this stuff up with backend options.
I remember telling my computer science teacher how the floppy disk file system worked (a directory was a linked list of sectors, each one of which represented the head of a file, IIRC) and he refused to believe anyone would implement it like that due to the obvious perf issues.

Anaheim is landlocked, it would cost them several billion dollars just to buy more land in Anaheim alone, the odds of more park in Anaheim are basically zero.
It sucks. Sometimes the bold text is the exact opposite of the answer to the query I search for. It’s very misleading unless you click through and read the full context.
Time takes the shock out of things because people compartmentalize things that they don't think of as recent. I feel like people right now, at least in the anglo-american orbit, are constantly shocked about almost everything, or when not actually shocked, pretending to be.

Sure, if you consider 3,200 feet as "measured in feet" [1]. Anything can technically be measured in feet. When you said that I assumed you meant they were like 20-30 feet thick, not over half a mile.

Sure that is the way, for the meantime the technology in use comes with the risk of blowing up and it would be sensible to take that into consideration during engineering, among other things such as the inconveniences. Accepting the reality that the battery tech is lagging is far more desirable from an engineering point of view and work with that.

If I am away from home and on the way back, upon checking in at the airport I am told I cannot bring the laptop, how would you supposed I would handle the situation? Throw it in a trash bin (I don't mind the encrypted data) but is this a solution, instead of simply discarding the battery instead? (in this particular case where there is a recall for a certain laptop).

I think Knotts is about as safe as it ever has been, I'm saying this as someone who worked at both Knotts and Disney, Knotts in some ways in the early and mid 00's was actually better about doing some basic maintenance to keep the park looking and feeling fresh.

I think you're completely forgetting why they build them like this: It makes for a better laptop.
The non-removable macbook can have a much larger battery due to not needing a case and entire user accessible portion of the machine.

If Apple built this machine like how you are saying it would get half the battery life (keep in mind that this is a max performance model with battery life as low as 3 hours when used at max off charger) or would be much heavier and thicker and people. would. not. buy. it. It's a compromise whereas you make the repair (which hopefully should never happen) harder while making the daily use of the laptop entirely different.

You can burn your house and blame the dictator, but at the end of the day, you burnt your own house. And the dictator's palace is thousands of miles away.

I also see no dilemma, at least not for the "dictator". If the riot doesn't extend to Beijing, and the chance it does is basically 0, the "dictator" is having no trouble at all. HK may rot, but it rots by its own choice.

Trump isn't the best advertisement for how well democracy works. Neither is Boris Johnson. (In fact, Trump v Clinton as a choice for leader... shudder.)

Epstein may have been the world's most successful pimp and blackmailer, and thrived for years among our elite. That's not a great look, either.

Then there's income disparity, the alienation of so many in our society (though it's probably still better than working in a Foxconn factory), debt (especially from medical care and higher education), the rise of opioid addiction, and suicide.

Yikes. I wonder how fresh and clear the air is up there on your high horse.
Judging by the tone of the democratic primaries debates, even professing support for such a benighted concept as the sovereign right of your nation to control its border is enough to 'shock' at least a reasonable portion of the public. If you refuse to use someone's chosen pronouns you're going to generate some 'shock' too. The current status quo may like to consider itself having shrugged off the prudishness of the West's Christian tradition, but they remain as easily shocked and offended as ever.

From what I understand, no one ever moves (fast, slow, whatever) compared to the speed of light from their own reference point.

The speed of light is always the same for all observers from their own reference point, so how do you reconcile those statements?
You should mark it spam, because that's what it is.
Hey Martin, thanks for checking it out! Yeah, I'm eager to get a lot more dynamic components in there (lists, dashboards, social media feeds, dropdown menus, etc). Going to make that a focus over the next few weeks. These components will probably make it in before I have the data part figured out, but long-term want to find an elegant way to let the user pick from multiple data strategies (graphql, rest, etc) and just magically wire it up to the components.
It’s a fine choice if your local water source is truly not potable, but for the vast majority of the western world that’s not the case. On the contrary, the majority of tap water that people can drink for effectively free is of higher quality and testing standards than most bottled water.
Absolutely. Electrons are accelerated by the field until they hit something. The average velocity of all the electrons due to the competing acceleration and collisions is the drift velocity and it's very slow.

On the other hand, electric fields move quickly. At some large proportion of the speed of light depending on the particular materials of the wire and some other factors.

BPA in infant formula and bottles is banned for safety reasons in the EU and Canada. So, would you mind if I believed the European Comission or Health Canada instead? Even in the US, BPA is not permitted in infant formula and bottles in an industry-voluntary way that avoided the FDA making an explicit safety judgment on the levels of BPA present in the containers. The CDC warns against storing breastmilk in BPA-containing plastic.

BPA is not the end-all be-all of endocrine disruptors, of course: there are other classes of compounds banned in most of the developed world with solid evidence of harmful effects, like phthalates. It would be useful to check various established OECD health authorities and reputable research before dismissing the danger of endocrine disruptors as "rumors spread by know-nothings".

Except, as already noted, batteries in current Macbooks are not one rectangular slab like that.

Take a look at the inside of the current Macbook Pro: https://i.imgur.com/pTZjbuZ.jpg

That's a "battery" that's actually six separate batteries, fit around and underneath the structural components of the touchpad.

Make it a single piece that can be neatly removed like your would-be concept image and you cut battery life in half. Customers would revolt, and far more noticeably than over mere keyboard problems.
I see it contrapositively; that they're now so mainstream that they can't find a plot that offends people anymore that they are not also offended by enough to not produce. It's not that society has somehow become unoffendable, but that the people who produce the Simpsons are either 1) people who were hired because they are extremely successful establishment writers, or 2) leftovers from an earlier era of the show who are far more wealthy and establishment than they were then.

It's not completely fair to say they toned it down (although they absolutely did to some extent), it's more that they fell into a establishment rut and repeated themselves endlessly.

You could effortlessly write a humanistic/heartwarming, funny script every week that would deeply offend the powerful. The network that airs the Simpsons wouldn't air them, though. That's not what they're paying for.
It's great to hear you find the code east to read and change. To clarify, would you want something like a rest API + node server that talks to an SQL database? The plan is to provide more self-hosted options for code export, going with 3rd party services like Firebase was just easier to add for this MVP.
Basically correct. If you could attach a magical GoPro to a single electron in a conductor and applied voltage to it, you would see that it zips around at very high speeds in various directions across very small distances and only averages out as moving in the right direction. This average velocity is the drift speed. If you magically labeled all the electrons in the lamp's wiring, you would find it contains (almost) all the same electrons it started with. The company just bills you for the energy it took to move those electrons back and forth like the teeth on a sawblade.

You can also think of it like water in a filled tube. If you pump more water into one end the person on the other end will get your signal long before the physical water you put in to create the signal reaches him. You could put a water wheel or propeller in the tube to convert the energy of the moving water into work, and just like the lamp you don't have to wait until the physical molecules of water you pumped in reaches the wheel to start using energy from the moving water.
delete the whole code (or just throw away the keys) and all the debt is paid.
Just to add to this, there is no absolute simultaneity in General Relativity, and also no absolute way of saying, "This event happened T time ago." The only concepts that are rigorously defined are future, past and spacelike-separated (points in spacetime you could only reach by traveling faster than light). So if we try to define a reference frame that allows time comparisons between Earth and the Galactic Center, we have to be very careful, and keep in mind that it is just one of infinitely many possible coordinate systems, each of which will give a different answer to the question, "How long ago did this flare happen?"

One fun coordinate system is Cosmic Background Radiation time. The CMB redshifts as the Universe expands, so the temperature of the CMB can serve as a clock. Anyone anywhere in the Universe can measure the average temperature of the CMB, and use that as their clock.

About Mauna Kea, I urge everyone to look into the issue in more depth before forming an opinion. There is a huge amount of disinformation being spread on social media, and the basic picture most media is painting is wrong. The Thirty Meter Telescope project has gone to great lengths to try to listen to the community, and to take religious and cultural concerns into account. These concerns had a big impact on both the location and the design of the telescope. The telescope site is father below the summit than the previous telescopes, so that it cannot be seen from most of the island. The entire optical design of the telescope was made to be super compact (F/1), which was a very risky technical decision, just so the telescope wouldn't be as tall. The internal clearances of the telescope within the dome are just 20 inches, barely allowing it to be serviced, for the same reason.

The sacredness of Mauna Kea is also much more questionable, within traditional Hawaiian religion, than activists are claiming. There's actually surprisingly little evidence that it was historically held to be anywhere near as sacred as TMT opponents claim. The Hawaiian creation story, for example, doesn't mention Mauna Kea. It's important to realize that the Hawaiian traditional religion was suppressed by the Hawaiian monarchy in 1819, which means that it is not easy to reconstruct nowadays. Many of the anti-TMT activists belong to a movement trying to bring the religion back to life, but what they claim about the religion does not necessarily reflect ancient beliefs. One thing that undermines their claims is the fact that pre-contact, native Hawaiians excavated the largest quarry in Polynesia on Mauna Kea.

There are, however, culturally significant sites on Mauna Kea that clearly should be preserved. There are ancient shrines and burial grounds, for example. The TMT site was chosen to be as far removed from such sites as possible. There are also places where modern "cultural practitioners" (ironically enabled by the observatory access road) carry out their practices, and TMT does not significantly disturb these practices.

Consumer surplus is one of those economics concepts that probably doesn't exist. People will generally pay anything they can afford. Fortunately, what they pay for positional goods and such mostly washes out as transfers or asset inflation and doesn't pollute GDP, which measures intrinsic value (bits, ultimately).

That's still not acceptable in 2019 last I checked. Hell, nearly nothing in Pink Flamingos wouldn't be shocking today, though much of it (like rape or animal cruelty) hasn't aged well.

But you've seen two girls one cup. You've seen people dress in fursuits and fuck, and been fisted, and sounded, and it may not be attractive to you but it's not shocking. That's what he's talking about.

I'm guessing that a minority of people on HN haven't seen video of someone dying in a gruesome manner. Perhaps it was ISIS sawing off someone's head. Perhaps it was someone falling from the twin towers. Perhaps it was somebody murdering a homeless man for fun.

It's not shocking. It's despicable, but it's not shocking.

Nazism and white supremacy and racism and misogyny isn't shocking - it's dismaying, but it's not shocking. It may be socially acceptable, but it's not shocking. If anything, it's hackneyed.

Article: "Jumpshot is the data arm of Avast, a well-regarded maker of numerous Internet security products. This suite of products, in order to function, must collect and analyze every URL visited by every browser of every machine on which its installed. [...]

Article: "Because Avast has to see and process all these URLs anyway (in order to serve their function of providing web security), they anonymize, aggregate, and remove any personally-identifiable information from the browser URL visits and then provide them to Jumpshot, who then makes estimates about broad web usage behavior."

>In metals, electric current is a flow of electrons. Many books claim that these electrons flow at the speed of light. This is incorrect. Electrons in an electric current actually flow quite slowly; at speeds on the order of centimeters per minute. And in AC circuits the electrons don't really "flow" much at all, instead they sit in place and vibrate. It's the energy in the circuit which flows fast, not the electrons.

> Metals are always full of movable electrons. In a simple circuit, all of the wires are totally packed full of electrons all the time. And when a battery or generator pumps the electrons at one point in the circuit, electrons in the entire loop of the circuit are forced to flow, and energy spreads almost instantly throughout the entire circuit. This happens even though the electrons move very slowly.
