I'd expect the gaps, because the gaps are a natural consequence of the structure being interesting - that clear patterns appear as soon as you assemble a bit of data.

Most spoofs of the PT are bad because they don't have any periodicity, wholly missing the point.

I suspect this happens because the PT is the most famous organized list in science, and it's structure (not a simple array!) is fascinating even to people who don't bother to understand what the structure means (logically, not to mention chemically).

If you are really into the "Periodic" and "Table" aspects, check out Theo Gray's Periodic Periodic Table Table posts ;-)
Side question: Is it worth reading the entire series of books?

Short Term Fasting helps the treatment of cancer, but what is the official definition of STF? 1 day? 2? Or is it in hours?
Sure you can, just jump from a building or cliff at least 50 metres high.
Thats misinformation. If you want a comment removed you can email the HN mods (I always forget the email). I feel like they could similarly delete your account upon request.

The fantastic coincidence being the man who created the typesetting machine he invested in, had the last name Paige. I love aptonyms.

And here's an interesting read if you want to follow up about the machine.

You don't need to pay public loans back while getting a phd, so it's not because they have to service them. An extra few years of interest isn't going to matter in the long run.

If it would undoubtedly increase life time earnings it's a stupid decision to turn it down because of undergrad student loans. That makes absolutely no sense.

>red herring

I was taking your post at face value. It lamented allowing financiers to capture value.

I'm also not against tax payer funded college. But the loan system we have in the US combined with income based repayment is not as bad as people think it is. Mostly people just don't understand income based repayment and public vs. private loans.
CS:GO is still played internationally and there are also professional tournaments. So I would say that it is still a relevant benchmark.
Laptop model: Thinkpad T440p

CPU: Intel® Core™ i7-4710MQ CPU @ 2.50GHz × 8

RAM: 12GB

Screen: 14" Matte

Personal comments: Debian works well. Wish I upgraded the screen. Battery life is meh ~4hrs and drains while sleeping. Bit thick and takes a lot of space in backpack.

Intermittently, the fan will sound like it's hitting something and make a terrible whirring noise. Gets taken care of by a few spurts of compressed air.

Used as my 'desktop' at home.

Laptop model: Mackbook Pro 2015

CPU: i5 - 2.7ghz

RAM: 8GB

Screen: 13"

Personal comments: Decent battery life and works well for travel. Good keyboard like T440p. Not a fan of the OS but hardware-wise works very well.

Used as my personal travel laptop.

Laptop model: Mackbook Pro 2018

CPU: i7?

RAM: 16GB

Screen: 15"

Personal comments: Very good battery life. 15" is bigger than I'm used to, but I've started to appreciate the screen real estate without external monitor. Probably my least favorite laptop to use simply because the keys consistently double tap and I can't feel for fn keys (fn, volume, brightness). Work-provided laptop.

In summary, I'd lean towards a Thinkpad carbon for the ideal combination of portability, keyboard, and ability to run Linux. Never appreciated quality screens until using Macs - will definitely be upgrading future laptop screens.

> There’s no waste associated with putting an electric motor in a durable good that would potentially last 25-50 years. If that were the engineering goal, they would be able to achieve it while adding a very marginal cost to the bom.

Now, when you don’t stop at just the condenser motor, and apply that line of reasoning to every part on the BOM, your appliance now costs double the competition.

You can buy these appliances today, they’re designed for commercial use.

"The Geekbench 4 benchmark holds little to no relevance in the enterprise world. Nevertheless, it gives us a small taste of how AMD's EPYC 7002-series can provide enterprises with more bang for their buck."

And then they go right ahead and make 'comparisons' based on irrelevant workloads. Not saying AMD isn't faster or better price/perf but please do the benchmarks properly. Same can be said of comparison of POWER 9 vs amd/intc.
>Mat is white whereas Bangladeshi people are black. Malay people worship white skin and thus they even give money to beg-packing white people who exploit this to travel South East Asia for free.

It's much simpler: Bangladeshi workers speaking Malay are a dime a dozen. Westerners learning a minority language in Malaysia are relatively few and far between. Millions of whites visit Malaysia as tourists but they don't become celebrities.

It's also not about "worshipping white skin", but about being amused and/or feeling validated by the western internet.

Finally, the protest against western backpackers asking from money (a recent fad protest in some countries) is irrelevant to this particular story.

You're the only one bringing up a "founding principle", which shifts the discussion from reality on the ground towards legislative philosophy.

Everything you've said here and in the sibling comment makes the case for the irrelevance of those declared policies. If they were important you'd expect the US to have abolished slavery relatively early, or for it not to have been such an important issue as to have precipitated a civil war within its borders.

To say that a country is "founded on" something speaks to its early development. For instance the modern Icelandic state is arguably founded on its fisheries, and the US can be said to have been founded on sustenance agriculture, the economic surplus of slavery etc.
You can produce torque in excess of your weight by using pedals that clip in and pedaling "circles" instead of "squares". When I was in good shape I figured I could produce torque much closer to my weight than half of it.

I race an r6. There's no difference at all between a 600cc and a 1000cc bike off the line assuming a capable rider. When I launch, I can't keep the front wheel on the ground at full throttle, until about 70mph. Yes, if we are talking rolling on the throttle, not using any technique etc the big torquey twin will win Everytime.

Once you are in third though displacement takes the lead, and my smaller engine bike is at a disadvantage!
I generally agree, but what a few lines of CSS would make it much more pleasant to read IMO:

- limit container width so lines don't get too long

- larger text and more line height

And not really CSS but:

- Making it easier to collapse comments on mobile

I know some of those changes would potentially destroy the look & feel that some seem to enjoy around here. However on mobile currently it's only possible to enjoy HN via a third party app though.
You should have read slightly further:

Preliminary data show that STF [i.e. short term fasting] is safe, but challenging in cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. Ongoing clinical trials need to unravel if STF can also diminish toxicity and increase efficacy of chemotherapeutic regimes in daily practice.
Which raises a question of how many services out there do have links that would delete your account without confirmation (or confirmation that could be somehow spoofed by client side JS).

Leave alone collapsing comment threads. I end up on the commenters profile 50% of the time.
But why don't they automate it? 1. It's standard practice to have a delete my account option. 2. It's easier for users. 3. It's easier for admins. 4. The presence of the option makes clear that one can delete their account without much trouble. 5. With the option they don't get frowned upon, such as in this case.

Racism was of course a huge thing in the USSR, but racism against blacks was not, because there were so dew blacks that blacks were a curiosity, not an oppressed class.
> While the story remains unfailingly interesting, Blanch’s detours into the habits of the Russian aristocracy and European power politics, and the memorable personalities that populate the period occasionally detract from the book’s narrative momentum.

For me a part of the brilliance of Dune is that Herbert does not commit this sin. He maintains the momentum with only few and relevant digressions. I read the book again after three decades and was amazed that the depth I remembered came from a sparseness of words. I had spun off mere suggestions in the text into baroque textures in my head.

It reminds me of the cartoons of James Thurber, who could evoke more with the curve of a line than most artists can with any number.

I think this is part of what makes Dune so hard to adapt to film. There is less elaborate description to go by compared to Herbert's more verbose colleagues from Victor Hugo to George R.R. Martin. The imagination of each reader has more room to diverge.
The 4th book in the series is the one that either makes you hate Dune or love it. Up until that point it could pass for some interesting sci-fi fantasy, but after that point, either you'll put down the book in boredom or find yourself utterly mindblown.

I highly recommend it.
Word of warning, the entire series of books should be considered the six books written by Frank Herbert, not any of the poor worse-than-fan-fiction by Brian Herbert + Kevin J Anderson.
