It may also be cost of the appliance (rather than the fuel). The few induction stoves I was able to find are quite a bit more expensive than equivalent-output gas and resistive electric stoves. Not sure how much that is driven by inertia either, though.

This is a small pilot project, it will be run in just a few districts of Moscow for municipal elections this September. Also, as of now, only about 1% of the population of those districts have registered for online voting, around 500 people.

So it's more like a proof of concept, and a first step in making larger-scale electronic elections possible in the future (from technological, political, organizational, and public trust standpoints).

We get single phase 240V that is delivered to most electrical sockets as split phase 120V. For dryers, stoves, ovens, air conditioners, etc, it is wired to be the full 240V.

Given how many newer electronic appliances auto-switch when presented a higher voltage, I wonder if it will become more popular to connect some wall sockets with full phase 240V. It's an easy retrofit in many cases. Kinda depends on circuit density however.

I stumbled across this article a bit over a month ago and it lead me to discovering the mobile app Dictionary Universal which allows you to search the definition of a word in multiple dictionaries at the same time. It's nice to see different dictionaries definitions of the same word.

The only problem I have with it is that I can't seem to find any legal copies of dictionaries to use with it in the supported Lingvo DSL and Stardict formats.

That being said, there are a few websites that allow you to add all the big names in dictionaries to the app. I just wish I could do it above board.
No, if a single person watches more than once it is counted as multiple views. For the video creator, you can see a metric called "Unique Viewers" and see your "Average Views per Viewer" number which helps you see if people are watching multiple times.

All that being said, I do think there is some detention of fake views, especially if they come from the uploader themselves.
I don't really understand the complaints in the 'ergonomics' section, this code won't even compile:

fn dot_product(a: &Vector3, b: &Vector3) -> float {
a.x*b.x + a.y*b.y + a.z*b.z
}

fn do_math(p1: &Vector3, p2: &Vector3, d1: &Vector3, d2: &Vector3, s: f32, t: f32) -> f32 {
let a = p1 + &(&d1*s);
let b = p2 + &(&d2*t);
let result = dot_product(&(&b - &a), &(&b - &a));
}

Namely, how are you going to multiply a struct like d1 by an f32? Rust has deref coercions also, so there's plenty of times you don't even need to put a &.

Also, I think the idiomatic thing to do would be to implement 'Add' for Vector3.

> Robert Baer, a former CIA agent and author, called the lack of human intelligence on the UAE “a failure” when told about it by Reuters.

I would take any statements by Baer with an enormous bag of salt. He has built his post agency career on the Vanity-Fair-ization of CIA. He doesn’t get much attention or sell as many books when the Agency is doing things right.

Regarding a lack of HUMIT in the UAE, I am reminded of a quote from the Usual Suspects: “The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist.”
Wow.

When I worked at a startup, I had a boss who was a really nice guy, friend with the CEO, but very much in over his head. He had been a DBA who -- literally & by his own words -- had read a 24 hour book on Java and that was the extend of his knowledge. This was early 2000s so crazy, but not that crazy.

When I needed his blessing my approach was to start with the details, wait until I visibly see him start to tune out, start looking around the room out of boredom, then ask for permission on what I needed.

I never got a no. He was so happy for the meeting to be over he never disagreed. (And these were usually 10 minute tops.)

Gas ranges in the US are seen as premium. So lots of new construction in the mid+ tier comes with that by default. I don't know of anybody who chose gas because it was cheaper (a range uses so little gas that sometimes it does not even register on the meter, if that is your only gas appliance). Almost everyone chooses it because historically the typical electric range was the dog slow kind and gas is so much nicer to cook with.

I assume intelligence gathering involves a lot of shifting focuses and just random chance depending on any number of things. I'm not sure I buy into this article's premise that "doesn't spy".

That seems completely independent from the actual plug design. You can certainly get sockets with switches[0] it just isn't very popular (or, frankly, useful).

> and don't have the same shutter-safe design.

What you're saying is a bit unclear, do you mean the part where UK plugs need some sort of earth inserted to open "power" shutters or do you mean having shutters at all? Because the latter is definitely the case, and as an other commenter notes there are widely available plugs which can be inserted "inverted" and open the powered shutters with little efforts. While the E/F design is "less safe" in the best case scenario it's also less conducive to easy misuse.

Huh? I don't even understand this question on its face.

There was huge demand at the time Gmail was released for easy email with large quotas. Good text search was nice, but it was the easy email interface and large quotas that made a real impact.
there is a higher risk associated with 240V, but now all new home circuit require RCD (30mA in France is the norm now together with the big 500mA RCD from the utility). I've done the circuit in my home, sometimes with live current, but I always ensured that I am behind a 30mA RCD. I've touched the live phase several time without any injuries.
The injuries happen through second effects, like you touch the live phase while on a ladder and you fall.

The way the euro plugs are designed, means it is impossible to touch a live part, except maybe for the one which have no earth, though it is also very hard to do.
I registered GMail immediately, because it offered 1GB storage, way more than other venders at the time. I seldom use its search, even today. Today, the biggest value of gmail for me is its spam filter. similarly, I immediately switched from yahoo to google when google came out, but it wasn't because I felt google's results were more relevant. I have never compared the results. it was because google's ui was very clean and fast. I also couldn't understand the value of dropbox given box.com, but again, I registered for the free storage.

I think the intention of the "find a problem" suggestion is to avoid no demand, but I too think it might be too conservative and I can't map many successful startups to it well, like instagram, Minecraft and twitter. And I doubt their founders thought about solving a problem when they started their project.

A while back, I read on HN an article saying that there are 2 types of good ideas, one solves a problem, the other creates new opportunities. I kinda agree. Imagine we went back to an ancient time and asked people if they need anything like TV for entertainment, I guess the answer would be no, because TV hadn't been part of their life. Without it, they had other forms of entertainment to kill the time. If we went to 1900 and asked if people need personal cars. They would probably say no because their work and social network were local. But personal cars enabled new opportunities, people can now commute farther for better job and extend their network.

I guess if someone asks us today if we have a problem with not being able to do space travel. We would say no. But future people may think otherwise.
Interesting, it may well have some bearing upon the UNICODE naming which came about in 1991, which would be around the time that it's usage for "~" seemed to wane out of use.

"#" was another one with many names that have consolidated over time, been decades since heard anybody refer to it as a checkerboard, which was never as elegant and can see why "hash" became the norm.
I don't buy it. First, why would a Linux-based jailbreak install a binary for bash-3.2, when that version is going on 13 years old?

I'm sticking with what I've seen and been told: the guts of MacOS are there, just hidden.
Recognizing the signs of disruption in our urban habitat
The truly tragic thing is, if we just had better means of communicating with each other at a human level, we wouldn't need all this manipulation. Alas, the CIA interferes in things rather deliberately to undermine and usurp, where a concerted effort may allow a bigger-picture consensus to form.

I firmly believe that if we spent 25% of what the USA spends on its military every year instead on cultural interchange, education and language programs, nobody would be needing to invade anyone. It is the back-room corruption - i.e. ALL SECRECY and the means by which it is maintained - which is at the core of it.

Shut the CIA, and build more schools.
I agree that the duration is out of control, but that's not what the exhaustion doctrine is about.

It doesn't solve the interminable extension problem you mentioned, but it does moot the point raised by parent's comment.

I dunno about 'many'. Monopoly is infamous for being bad, is popular only for legacy reasons, and is rapidly fading. (My own family used to play Monopoly frequently, but I can't remember the last time we did, because the last few times we were able to play on the holidays, we were playing games like Pandemic or Settlers or Hill House or D&D...) If you look at how kids spend their time, on things like Minecraft or Fortnite, I think the overwhelming majority of them are better games than Monopoly.

Induction electric stove are pretty much the best you can get there, they heat nothing but the pan, they heat quickly, and the cooldown is instant.

They're not as flexible as gas, but they're more than sufficient for >95% of the population, and are safer & more efficient.
