I’ll grant you that if there’s anywhere in the US the harm to local business would be minimized, it would be Manhattan. But the policy was being suggested for a lot more than just Manhattan.

Any particular reason of downvoting without explaining what's wrong with my point of view?

This approach (no warning from compiler) is successfully used in Go, for example, and, I believe, the reasoning is similar.
It’s a terrible way to limit the number of cars. A variable toll would be a much better way of limiting the number of vehicles.
Ask HN: What's your favorite “that's not a bug, that's a feature” story?
The reasonable rough approximation ought to be comparing two complete power trains including stored energy.

For an AWD ICE car, that includes fuel, tank, engine, transmission, differentials, and drive shaft. For an AWD EV, that's two motors, batteries, and the rest of the cabling and infrastructure required for the batteries and motors.
i didn’t mean to imply that installed base trumps all other concerns. It creates back pressure that takes a really big reason to overcome. Installing a small bundle of fiber optic is so much more interesting than giant bundles of 10MB copper that can’t even handle the entire neighborhood. I’m sure that will overcome friction in a lot of places.

I’m wondering if part of that exorbitant cost was installing repeaters. Which fiber has much less need of.
I love this channel so much. Well done Alec!
There is probably a button, but at worst unplugging it works as toast is raised when the coils cool.
When you say "approval voting" do you mean unanimous consent? Approval voting is a method for elections, and off the top of my head I can't think of any way it could be applied to a yes/no motion.
That’s interesting because the implants I’m aware of usually operate little more than 2 years.
Use a bill pay service. Most US-based banks offer a bill pay service that will mail a check to the payee. I'm not sure if such a thing exists outside of the US, or if your European bank will mail a USD check.
I've found the domestic premium too be anywhere from 3X to 10X. It really depends on how much is being done. We sometimes build antennas, which are single layer PCBs. The cost-delta at production volumes is about 3X. On a circuit board assembly I've paid 15x more to build in the US, where the turnaround time was significantly slower and production yield was worse. This is CM-specific, of course.
He said after 7 or 8. That excludes 7 and possibly 8.

I have a 7.1.1 device and can confirm they have the global toggle still.
The parent was specifically talking about energy density of gasoline versus batteries in Wh/kg. The battery weight is already considered.
> I really feel it was just torture renamed. "Hey, let's burn some Jews! We'll call it science!" "Ok, I'm in." Experiment result: the untermenschen died.

In most cases they were doing actual science, just divorced from any recognizable morality. I'm less familiar with the Japanese case, but many of the Germans who did similar things were respected scientists (Carl Clauberg is an example). The desire to say "that's not real science" is emotional, but it's not accurate.

The truth is that these kinds of studies used to be not all that rare. The most famous is the Tuskegee syphilis experiment, but there are others. In The US, in the 1920s, at least 800 prisoners were infected with Malaria. Joseph Goldberger similarly experimented on prisoners in attempt to understand pellagra (and refused to let them drop out when their symptoms became unbearable). Richard Strong famously injected people with plague. In some of these cases, subjects signed a waiver, but in others they didn't. Internees in camps could have been induced to sign a waiver if the Germans or Japanese had cared about that.

Morality constrains science. That's a good thing. But it requires us to admit that we could learn more and more quickly if we had no morality. Understanding how radiation affects human reproductive systems or what the human body can withstand is valuable information. It just isn't information that we can obtain while staying with the guidelines of our morality.
What are some of HNers' experiences with cutting out caffeine?

I personally found that drinking coffee on a daily basis increases neurotic behaviour. The effects aren't instant but on a weeks-to-months timeframe. I have a hard time fully ditching coffee, given how ingrained it is in the fabric of society.
BTW for real world use if you want to do PCA but want a better solution than an algorithm which makes linearity assumptions there are two really hot algorithms for dimensionality reduction right now

UMAP - topology manifold learning based method

Ivis - simese triplet network autoencoder

Both of them will blow PCA out of the water on basically all datasets. PCAs only advantages are speed and interpretability (easy to see explained covariance)
Such a disgraceful project and I’m sure we only know the half of it.

I recently heard a good long form interview with an author who spent 20 years studying Charles Manson’s connection to this program. It’s pretty shocking:

And I just found a reason you should adjust your chemical intakes. Too much caffeine or not enough? You don’t know me, or how I work.
To be fair Comcast these days shows you a breakdown of the full cost of the service you are signing up for, which you have to accept. So the fees should not be a surprise. Would I prefer it was all included in the advertised price, absolutely.
Libraries often limit use of group study rooms to groups, even with student status you may not be able to use them individually. The spaces that indicate they are open to the public and are categorized with the "considerate" noise level would probably be much quieter than the hotel lobbies you're currently using, and you can access them now, without student status.
The battery is not the same thing as the motor. He’s saying that a motor is lighter than an engine, and this somewhat offsets the fact that batteries currently have lower energy density than gasoline.
I'd agree with that, and often say similar things only to be accused of shouting at clouds[0]. I still have a laptop at work running Windows XP on period hardware because it has a serial port that is useful for interfacing with equipment. I don't use it often, but when I do I always find it a bit disconcerting how responsive it is compared to the software I use every day here in the future. We have gigabytes of ram, SSDs, multi-core procs running at several Ghz each, and yet most software seems to respond slower without providing significantly more functionality!

[0] The Cloud being a frequent target of my ranting, this is not entirely incorrect.

A modern solution could be as simple as an email or a whatsapp message. You could reuse the same form and send an image with your phone. I agree that it's more of a "side-grade" than an upgrade.

You can order checks from third-parties, not just your bank. You might also walk into a location and ask if they can print you courtesy checks (a sheet of 3-4 checks).

This technique is novel, but there are already established methods of implanting false memories in people, with children the most susceptible.

I don't know the last time I've written a check in the store and I have a lot of things set to autopay but I still do write a few a few checks every month: housekeeper, various money I owe my neighbor, pay people for food on weekend trips, furnace maintenance, contractors, etc.

(If you count the checks my bank writes and mails for me, then I'm certainly up in the 7 or 8 a month range.)
Having updated OS X 10.0 era Cocoa apps to run on modern macOS, it’s really not that bad. Actually, it’s way easier than I’d expect given the age of Cocoa and how its first few years were full of rapid evolution.
Its been a long time but we used PCA in remote sensing to reduce the number of bands into a smaller subset that are easier to handle.

Satellite data is collected using sensors that are multispecteral/hyperspectral (for example LandSat has 11 bands, but sometimes there are over 100) but this can be cumbersome to work with. PCA can be applied to the data so that you have a smaller subset that contains most of the original information that makes further processing faster/easier
It sounds expensive, but we've had ours for over 20 years, and I expect it to last another 20 (or beyond) and look just as classy.

It's mechanically simple, easily serviceable (four screws), and spares are readily available.
Very few developers have proven that they're capable of building a sustainable business (like e.g. OmniGroup).

It's impossible to say if a particular app will in a week:

a) still be available

b) if it will have switched to subscriptions or free + IAP or free with ads and IAP

c) what the IAPs will be and if your old (if any) IAPs will still work.

d) if they'll decide to sell your info to the next available bidder

This is why almost all apps are worthless and why I've essentially stopped purchasing or downloading apps. It's simply not worth the trouble to invest time to learn to use an app and investigate whether you can trust the developer.

The email price had a disclaimer about extra fees being charged on checkout. So that does not help. The resort fee i had to pay was for a gym in the hotel I did not use and probably could have negotiated, the urban fee was for the “SF urban experience” which I can only assume is non negotiable given the location of the hotel.

You can’t dispute partial fees either and no bank lets you dispute a charge that is on your bill as far as I’m aware.

Which intel found bugs are you talking about? There was the late 90s sqrt bug (IIRC incorrectly initialized lookup table, unfortunately in ROM), and the lower than specified precision of the x87 transcendentals.

Those FPU bugs weren’t due to design complexity - the former was presumably a mask bug, and the latter is “maths is hard”.

There was an errata for some of the arm thumb2 cpu designs that led to incorrect branching when a jump instruction spanned a page boundary, which is the only cpu bug I ever encountered.
Not really, landlord will pass costs through to renter. So the Land Value Tax isn't really paid the the land owner but by the tenant of the land, through the land owner, to the Gov.

And the Gov sees the rich land owner as the source, not the renter. And it makes the land-owmer seem like their taxes are high - when the burden is not theirs
That’s awful.
>> Like Office 365 being part of their cloud division, including when people download and install office on their computer.

It's even sillier than that: Microsoft counts (a significant portion of) boxed copies of Office that you buy in a store as Azure cloud revenue. The justification being that buying a copy Office in a box gets you the right to the cloud-based version rather than the offline one you actually bought. Ultimately it's about flexibility.

And in this case, the flexibility to make your Cloud business whatever percentage of your total company revenue it might take in order to claim the market share numbers you want.
Mutant animal meat raised in factory farms fed soy and corn and shot with antibiotics and hormones is not real food either, and that is 99% of the meat dairy and eggs out there.

This is a straw man argument, because the perfect experiment will never be conducted. You would have to take 5000 people, put them in an island and feed them plant foods their whole life, collect blood and urine sample periodically to monitor them, wait for them to die and autopsy them.

Like we are doing with chimps currently literally. And we would need a control group. So because we can't conduct this perfect experiment, nothing in nutrition science has validity.

This is nonesense, its about gluing the pieces together. There are studies that show that certain populations are healthier than others, and we know what they eat.

There are studies that track population movement across the globe and their changes in health. Africans and Asians moving to the US and developing heart diesase and diabetes, when before they had none.

There are also studies that identify the mechanisms, we know certain molecules produced from the result of digesting meat that are carcinogenic.

So its the population studies, the observational studies, the studies of the action mechanisms all together that form a complete picture.

I deleted my previous comment, that assumed you reasoning is devoid of ethics. I don't know what "ideal world" or "non-ideal steps" you were implying, so I won't get into that.

That’s exactly what I was thinking as I read this.

What's sickening is that they've been getting away with this and worse for a long, long time; despite all sorts of evidence leaking of acts that are so insanely inhuman and twisted it's pretty damn obvious where the path ultimately leads.

The US imported all real psychos from Nazi Germany as part of operation Paperclip and let them loose on the local population to test their insane ideas about how to break and bend innocent people to whatever purpose using trauma.

Paperclip is also supposedly where the missing pieces for the nuclear bomb came from, which explains the sudden need to blow Japan into little pieces before the war was officially over.

These people are clearly insane, and will eventually have their power taken away and be tried for their crimes; or burned at stakes and torn into pieces by angry mobs, depending on how much forgiveness we're capable of collectively.
Supercaps can provide higher peak energy flow, either for acceleration or regen. They can buffer the battery from rapid energy flux.

I doubt very much they are going to actually store even 1kWh of total energy, because mass storage isn’t their strong suit.

Meanwhile, our Windows version hasn't needed any work since 2000

While I don't disagree that it's hard to keep up with Apple, if you haven't updated your Windows product in 19 years, then it's probably not a product I would want to use anyway.

Imagine if web developers thought the same way. Very few web sites exist today as they did in the year 2000, and those that do are ultra niche, or abandoned.

Go ask about MKUltra on /pol/ (which is full of far-right uber-nationalists) and you will get mountains upon mountains of information on MKUltra.

Your last two paragraphs are a beautifully succinct takedown of the radical libertarian politics that seems to be on the rise.

I don’t disagree that having tighter bounds for the Drake equation is worth investing time and energy into.

I think we are going to find that the preconditions for life are quite common. The way solar fusion and supernovas work, what atoms are produced, The distribution of material and of those atoms within an accretion ring... if a planet forms at the right distance, then it will have the mix of chemical precursors.

Honestly I suspect the only thing that makes Earth rare is our freakishly large moon. If we can ever prove that life is viable on a timescale of eons on a planet without such huge tidal forces pumping the biosphere, that will be a revelation.
I stopped drinking it for a couple of months while I was having anxiety problems. There was no upside to cutting it out, I only felt worse.

Parent poster said, "Very little competition" not "no competition". I'm not arguing these industries are monopolies, but they have very few players and very large conglomerates that own most of the market share -- often between 1-3 players.
Telling troops that they must be courageous is fairly obvious and transparent, I find it much more interesting how the impression of primarily seeking cooperation is communicated to the general public, while what's going on behind the scenes is often (but not always) counter to that....and how effective it is, to the degree that the very same people who advocate cooperation passionately refuse to recognize counter behavior when it is pointed out to them. An example I would give is the "diplomatic" actions of the US with countries along the Russian border.

> Not really, landlord will pass costs through to renter.

This argument, followed to its logical conclusion, would tell us to abandon all taxes, all monetary penalties short of total seizure, and any form of finance-based incentive on companies and landlords.

So, what would you propose instead?

Edit: ....Also, this ignores the fact that not all land owned by the wealthy is being rented. Indeed, there are landlords that deliberately keep units empty, in part to reduce supply and keep the price of the units they rent higher. Taxing them even when they're inactive would prevent this kind of perverse incentive and help (at least in some small way) to alleviate the housing shortages in some areas.
The dairy replacement market, while mature, doesn't do a very good job of competing directly with the dairy industry. Non-dairy milks cost easily twice what the dairy milks do.
