If you were with me for the good times, then ditched me at the first problem and shit talked me and turned other people against me, then described yourself as “a loyal friend”, I think I’d raise an eyebrow.

Intent matters. Let's say your partner is trying to toss a coke bottle into the garbage bin. Let's say your partner misses and bonks you on the nose with the bottle instead. Do you leave? What if your partner, instead, had been trying to throw the bottle at you in anger?
So good that I won’t just upvote your comment but again tell people: read it!

"There are two plausible explanations for the observed decline in average load factors as wind farms age. The first is that the turbines become less efficient over time as a result of mechanical wear and tear, erosion of the turbine blades and related factors. The second is that the turbines experience more frequent breakdowns and their operators take more time to bring them back into service because they are less concerned about the performance of older plants. Both reasons may be relevant in different circumstances and it is not possible to identify a primary explanation from the data. "
Almost certainly not actually infinite in reality :)

We treat it that way because, despite it showing that our model of physics is breaking down at that point, it works really well for most real purposes. But look at string theory, loop quantum gravity, etc., and you will find plenty of the variants within those umbrellas do not have a singularity at the heart of black holes.
Turned on? Stallman just didn't learn, despite decades of people trying to convince him, that his behavior was counter to his very cause. His overt misogyny created barriers to free software development where there needn't be any - who wants to go into the office that has "knight for hot ladies" pasted on the door? All of that behavior is being addressed directly now and people aren't going to put up with it.

RMS quirky as fuck. More than anything it's a shame he just couldn't pick up on that one social skill.

WordPress has commercial closed-source plug-ins available and one of the more popular ones happen to be a certain SEO-plug-in. You're certain it wasn't a pirated copy of a closed-source plugin?

I know a lot of guys who have successfully quit porn, and what they say helps is being really vulnerable with guys who have the same struggle. Part of it is looking at the emotional needs they are trying to fill with porn. Asking themselves questions like what is this doing for me in the moment? (Given that they don't want to be doing it, why are they actually doing it?) They also build habits of sharing how their week was emotionally with a small group of like-minded guys. Generally over the course of about a year they find themselves building habits where they learn what their emotional needs are, ways to meet their needs, and increasing ability to be courageous in things like confronting their wives or not responding in anger when their wife accuses them.

I can't speak from experience on porn, but this same approach has helped me a lot with other unhealthy habits. I've been doing it about a year, and I am much better at identifying what I am feeling and really desiring, and as a result, the unhealthy habits are less appealing because it's clear they won't give me what I'm really looking for. (In my case it's "belonging") I still don't have a solution for my desire to belong yet, but I am now able to sit in the pain and sadness and disappointment instead of trying to numb it.
I was referring specifically to the "being made of exotic material" part. Though yes, theories of Planet X being a massive gas giant have been around for a long time.

So far, what I've read about denoising is always the context of doing image post-processing, but it seems to me that some of these techniques could be used just as well to identify areas of the image that the denoiser is most uncertain about, so that you can trace more rays in those directions.
It's more that from how he described it they didn't apologise or treat him well as well.

Do the exact same thing they did except simply present it better and apologise and now you're likely not going to piss off a loyal customer.

Butter is just churned milk. If that is "processed" then everything is processed. Sea salt is processed too by that standard.
I simply use loose-leaf Twinings Earl Grey, the kind that comes in the light yellow tin. It's easy to find everywhere, even in some fairly unexciting supermarkets, and the quality and price are in the tea sweet spot for me. And to your point, it has enough bergamot but not too much. Just the right amount for me.
Careful, as you accelerate the black hole to ever larger fractions of C the mass becomes bigger and will cause even more problems. You might well disturb all the planetary orbits, not just earth.

Would make for a pretty impressive anti-podal volcano if nothing else.

I did hear one theory that the Tunguska event was an evaporating black hole, I don't think there's much scientific evidence to back that up though.

I forget the story, but some scary advanced weapon technology gets abandoned, sold on the black market, and ends up in India. Random folks there figured out you could chip the containment vessel, feed it sewage, and bounce a laser off it to capture energy and power the village. Complications ensue.

When someone is trying to break into a house, they might have to do it fast, so that they don't get noticed. If they need to pick two locks instead of one, it's costing them twice the time, so by locking the handle in addition to the deadbolt, you're increasing your security by making your door a bit more of a pain for someone to break into.
All black holes have singularities, what do you mean? (An Earth mass black hole is pretty tiny — Schwarzschild radius order of a centimetre).

Great work! I've got a rather wild ML ERH story to share.

So wrote my thesis on the design of EHR system (http://barnett.surge.sh/), and I interviewed this guy who said he was working on a crazy revolutionary ML-powered EHR system. It apparently had features such as voice recognition for writing notes instead of typing - but it also featured taking unstructured medical notes, and with the great AI, structuring them. So suddenly large scale medical record analysis would be easy - a rather incredible idea. However it sounded like they were at a very early stage, and they had nothing to show - so I thought 'yeah good luck getting that working' and trucked along with the thesis.

A few months after finishing my thesis, a friend of mine sends me this news article (https://thespinoff.co.nz/the-best-of/31-12-2018/summer-reiss...).

Turns out a journalist had heard of this medical AI, and dug way deeper. This guy (Albi) had convinced the GP I talked to that he had a working medical AI system. He had actually gone so far as to have the GP email 'the ai' and have it reply. However the whole thing was a fucking sham - it didn't exist, and the person replying was honestly probably just Albi. They were trying to raise funding to get it further, based on this claim of a 'functional ai'.

I don't think the GP I interviewed was in on the con, I think he was being taken for a ride. However once the article was published, there was heaps of attention and it all kind of fizzled out, and Albi was recently bankrupted.

But, I'm glad to see somebody is working on this problem - who isn't a conman haha.
Calling them currrency is already a scam. They are not a currency. They are hardly money (look up the difference yourself), because you mostly can’t buy stuff with it. And for sure, you can’t pay taxes with them.

I read a great question here on HN a while back to enthusiasts:

If you were the last person in earth to receive coins, would you still like them and endorse them?

So many comments can be traced to the idea of becoming richer. Compare this to the Euro: When the Euro was introduced as a currency in the EU in 2001, people gave zero fucks whether they were first to exchange their old currency for the new one or the last.

Vegan or Meat eater doesn't matter. It is always the amount and type (processed or non-processed/fresh) food that we consume is what makes an individual to gain or lose weight. I have reduced my weight without altering the type of food that I take with the following steps

1. Eat when you are hungry
2. Even when you are hungry, eat only a medium portion(your stomach can be half filled).
3. Reduce sugar in take (any form of sugar)
4. Include physical activities in your daily work / home life. Walking via stairs, cycling or walking to work etc.. you don’t necessarily need to do any dedicated exercise routines (well if u have time, its good to do).
5. Do not consume food after 7 pm. ( can take small portion of regional fruit if you are really hungry).
6. Most importantly, get a good sleep (10pm to 5am).
7. Get rid of all the measuring apps that you have in your phone, fitness, calorie calculator.. these are useless. Every human is unique in their nature and each individual needs certain amount of energy to do a work(differs from individual to individual) .. so we cannot set a common standard (BMI ) for all.

Always have time to cook fresh food on daily basis. I am from southern part of India and its very easy here to get fresh fruits, veggies, meat on daily basis. Mostly importantly, we buy on daily means and cook for the day. We never carry/food for the next day. Almost zero processed/frozen food. I believe processed food are the root cause for most of the health related issue that we face now a days.

This sounds like a symptom of compaction. Or the ratio of land to indoor foot (or meter) space is high enough to block each other's skyline, unless groups are willing to venture outside the entire neighborhood.

I worked with a woman at a medium sized food service company who was responsible for labeling items as “good” and “bad” on all our products to help people to eat “healthy”. (Hard boiled eggs bad, high carb high calorie roasted peas good that kind of stuff) We chatted a lot but she told me one day that her diet strategy was just eating the blandest foods possible. I mean I guess it worked, she wasn’t overweight. Explains why everything she rated healthy tasted like cardboard, I guess.

I am pretty sure it has mostly to do with your blood glucose level. Keto and Fasting are all about getting your blood glucose levels low enough and when you reach it your hunger usually goes away. I suspect people who eat a lot of processed foods also snack a lot. Every meal raises your blood sugar and makes you more hungry.
I acknowledged that this was a cost and never suggested it was free.

My point is that, in general, it is a small cost relative to everything else.

Another point that someone in the US might not know is that if you are in a major EU capital city or around you can relatively easily hire people who are fluent in at least 2 languages, so some level of multi-lingual support may thus come "for free" and it's not unusual to have 4+ languages spoken at native level even in a relatively small team (in the tech industry).

If everyone has an electric car then, in principle, that battery can be used to keep your house alive for quite a long time. And of course once the battery capacity has declined so that you are no longer satisfied with the car's range you can repurpose the battery for home use to store the output of solar panels on your roof.

It's a huge problem in terms of time and finance but not a difficult technological one.
I've been using DDG for literal years now, and whenever (rarely) I use Google for a search, I'm completely befuddled by Google Search's user experience. There's stuff everywhere: vertical lists, horizontal lists, thumbnails, chevrons, cards, blocks, drop shadows. DDG is just no-nonsense: a list of web results, like Google was then. For that alone, it wins my heart. Though, privacy is the main reason I use DDG.

Medicine does no more eradicate itself than food industry does. Of course, once you've eaten in a restaurant, you are not hungry anymore, but that's far cry from food industry "eradicating itself".
It also speaks to the need to know your customer. The restaurant should have had discreet cameras with facial recognition software to alert management immediately that a high value customer was walking in the door, and to make sure he got treated right.
I think increased interconnects are the way to go, but don't mind adding nuclear capacity. It's worth noting though, that Norway is quite an exception in their hydro capacity, as there is so much height differences in their terrain. Increasing hydro capacity is also pretty hard these days due to enormous environmental cost and the fact that most of the viable sites are already built.

For me if I eat pasta I’ll feel kinda foggy and tired. Happens every single time. I’ll generally take a nap for an hour or two, even if I just woke up. Same if I eat biscuits and gravy.

I can eat a big 2 pound ribeye and not feel like that at all. I definitely am starting to think that the only way to lose weight is to figure it out yourself. I lost 75 lbs eating sauerkraut and Johnsonville brats for 5 months, kept at that weight for several months, then went back to eating “normally” and gained back 50 over the course of the next year.
Yes it's very nice. I think they went a bit too far with their deep learning anti aliasing solution DLSS though. Read somewhere here that AMD potentially had an algorithm that surpassed it in many metrics using no ML.

Parties, plural. A better question would be who isn't spying. I live in Berlin. The Chinese, Russians, North Koreans, US, UK, Iranians, etc. all have big embassies here and there is a lot of diplomatic traffic and it of course features frequently in popular fiction on espionage. Also, there are lots of political refugees from all over the world living in Berlin. E.g. Ai Weiwei lives somewhere in my area and I've seen him on the street a couple of times. I live a kilometer away from the HQ of the German secret service.

I have no illusions about Cloudflare. However, unlike my ISP they are big, pretty competent, generally under a lot of scrutiny, and have a very big incentive to not get caught with their pants down contradicting what they say they do in their contracts, terms of use, etc. Not exactly ironclad, I know, but definitely a step up from O2's combination of indifference, incompetence and tendencies towards actively not caring one bit about their users privacy.
Incidentally this wind farm was the largest contributing factor to the blackout in London a few weeks ago when it decided to shutdown during a transient cause by a lightning strike, subsequent transmission line trip, and 200 MW of generation tripping. Then Hornsea wound down 700 MW. Some software change performed the next day apparently fixed the problem.no details on what it was though yet, or why the 200MW steam turbine also tripped.

Re 2.

They changed it so swiping left on someone who liked you no longer decreases the like counter

Also before that if you were out traveling the likes you got while on the road will not show up in your stack when you leave the area where you got them

Also if you swipe left on someone and you’re in their stack and they swipe right on you, they’ll show up in the count

The rest is still super scummy, but the “rules” of the like counter are at least somewhat logical
It does, and the physical lock makers know about this threat. My lock has a freely rotating piece of metal that covers the keyhole - you cannot drill through it without first preventing it from rotating.

More advanced locks jam when drilled through. There are also materials that emit lots of smoke when drilled through, mostly used in safes.
