Was the other drying one that used a similar design as Dyson's Airblade or something that predates it? Because the parent was talking about the state of the art for hand dryers before Dyson and I concur with them, it was pretty shit. On the other hand I wouldn't be surprised if other vendors these days managed to clone Dyson's design and even improve on it.
Indeed. If you want to fix childrens' education, fix the parents' view of, and commitment to, education.
well, for one pytorch added the python overhead over an otherwise very clean lua jit
Previously she had a Bosch. Forget the model number. It worked well (I thought it was a viable corded replacement), but it died after a few years (apparently a common problem), and that prompted the purchase of a Miele corded vacuum (way better, but again died, this time due to the motor taking a bath!)... then the Dyson, which was billed as a corded vacuum replacement. To me, it's a glorified dustbuster.

> Er, the United States, an economist sitting next to him replied, where the highest tax rate averaged about 70% from the 1930s to the 1970s, “and those were actually pretty good years for growth”. Rates are nowhere near that now. The supposed populist Trump gave a $1.5tn tax cut mainly to the richest corporations and individuals and the top rate now stands at 37%.

Go ahead and tax the likes of Bill Gates at 70%. You won't get much more than you do now, relatively speaking.

Hmm interesting, thanks. That is all GHG emissions though. I wonder if there are numbers around buying produce or meat at the store, how much of the GHG emissions tied to that product are agricultural vs the packaging, transportation, etc.

In other words, how big of a difference does 'buying local' have when buying food? Just wondering aloud, not necessarily asking anyone in particular.
Not as much "meddle in politics of foreign countries" as "help fellow humans avoid disasters".
Before the Internet everybody knew that Consumer Reports was the place to go for unbiased product recommendations. It still is. We used it for our vacuum cleaner; it costs 1/4 what the Dyson did and works better. But that was almost 10 years ago so such a recommendation would no longer be valid. Go to consumerreports.org.
Well if we're going to talk about people being frauds...

Patrick Moore burnt every last atom of his remaining credibility in his now famous Canal+ Glyphosate interview. Not that he had much being a paid PR consultant to various logging corporations and the nuclear industry, trying to leverage his former Greenpeace role for money.

They "falsely" claim Moore has published no papers in a mid 2015 Guardian article? Yet you link to a chapter in a year later 2016 book, not a paper as proof.

WUWT has NO credibility being one of the most well known deniers on the planet, putting out endless FUD, and infamously the instigators of the appalling shitshow that was Climategate.

That was looked into in great detail, and a series of independent investigations showed that the scientists did no wrong. Note, those investigations were UK and US, including the Science Select Committee, a Public Inquiry, the NSF and the EPA among others. All of them cleared the scientists.

It took years for the damage WUWT did with Climategate to settle.

Inadvertently I'm sure, with Moore you provide anecdotal evidence for my point. :)
I have a Dyson DC33 and can confirm that the exhaust blowing dust away from the vacuum is still a major problem.

I end up chasing bits of pet hair around the floor with it because it blows them away faster than I can vacuum them up.
If you can write a program that can automate this, then you're a better programmer than most of us.

I can’t stand that noise those Dyson Airblade makes, it’s just as unpleasant as the Xlerator’s and I generally avoid bathrooms with either hand dryer.

Normal models may be slower, but the only way they are taking 60 seconds if it’s broken or you never move your hands.
Some of the extremely dangerous sources of pollution actually get away with it due to the focus on CO2 and global warming, e.g. shipping - its CO2 emissions contribution is insignificant, but:

> Of total global air emissions, shipping accounts for 18 to 30 percent of the nitrogen oxide and 9% of the sulphur oxides.[2][28] Sulfur in the air creates acid rain which damages crops and buildings

Nobody thinks about this anymore when they buy their fancy new PV panels from China, or their organically grown tropical fruit.

Electric bikes are great! During peak rush hour traffic, it's actually faster for me to commute using my bike than driving down the freeway.

Parents are the absolute worst bullies. I'm not saying every parent bullies their children, I'm saying the ones who do the bullying is much worse than anything peers can dish out. And it's more persistent and impossible to escape. Then they turn around and act normal in front of other people so the fucked up kid looks like the bad guy to outsiders.

From as far back as I can remember until I left for college my mom berated me day in and day out about how my of a piece of garbage I am, how I ruined her life, how literally everything I did was wrong, and how I'm the reason my dad is an alcoholic. Despite me being a good kid who never got into any trouble.

I was bullied in elementary school, middle school, and summer camp for being a runt (literally off the growth charts) but it didn't actually bother me, I already learned that I was garbage from my mom.

Been through years of therapy... I don't think I'll ever be able to really recover, the best I can do is move forward.
Why Every Developer Should Keep a Daily Code Journal
I suspect the "scary" comment may not have been understood because of ESL, perhaps. So I think the person who asked if it was a good thing wasn't being sarcastic.
Yes -- the framing of WWII as a war of "good against evil" and "fascism must be fought at all costs" is entirely retrospective. Roosevelt and Wilkie were stepping over each other trying to argue who was the most anti-interventionist.

It was only the bombing of Pearl Harbor that gave Roosevelt the political power to openly support intervention in the European theater, which before he could only passively push for. If he had announced his intention to get boots on the ground before the 1940 election, we would have had a different president in 1941.

>The conventional wisdom is that the party is split between Remainers and Leavers, and that Corbyn himself is a closet Leaver who wants to leave so he can get out from under EU rules on state aid and bring about a glorious socialist revolution.

More of an absurd conspiracy theory than conventional wisdom, that.

>If this is remotely true, then Corbyn's personal aim is to help the Tories to a no-deal Brexit

Which I suppose he would achieve by passing a law that prohibits the tories from achieving a no deal brexit?

If he truly didn't want that he probably wouldn't have whipped for it.

Wouldn't be the first time his position was completely misrepresented though... and the motive for the various parts of the media owned by tax avoiders to do this is pretty obvious.

>he cannot be seen to be doing this.

How convenient for the conspiracy theory that he does and says the exact opposite of what he truly "wants" to do because he can't be "seen" to be doing it.
neither fats nor carbs are bad, as long as you get good quality fats and good quality carbs. The problem is people eat bad quality carbs (highly processed) and they eat way too much fat, especially saturated fat. The scientists from the early studies had it right that too much saturated fats are bad for you. that doesn't mean you need to get rid of all fats. It's not commonly known, but important to remember, there's fat already in fruits, veggies, whole grains already in the correct quantities. Having a few nuts and seeds is also fine. Just be careful with all the processed fats and meats/dairy: you really want to limit those.

You know what are the main elements of an electric car?
Battery and electric motor. Dyson uses them in every product. So it's in the business more that you think.
And another great skill of dyson is the design. And the CEO is one of the most famous in the world.
So battery, motor and design makes a good electric car.
At least in theory...
China, through its own behavior in situations like these, makes its own market less attractive for companies and investors, though. You'd have to be crazy to see what is going on right now, and go all-in in with the market in China. The arbitrary power of the CPC over market access is a huge liability.

Big companies may still want to do business in China, but they need stronger footholds in other markets to offset the risk.

Every single thing you just wrote applies to both sides of any political issue. That's politics: you get out there and advocate for a position and then people turn up and vote (or not). People being convinced to vote for something is not a sign that their vote is somehow invalid. It's literally how the political process works.

It's great that they've improved, but I'm still confused about the hype. The best Dysons I've used are worse than my old, $400 Miele. They may be competitive now, but it took them 10 revisions to get to a point other manufacturers have been at for 20 years.

They feel like a vacuum marketing company more than anything. People seem to like them because they've only ever used $100 vacuums and it's their first time with something better, so it feels awesome in comparison.
Web pages are trivially censorable directly by the Chinese government though. I don't see how that's responsive solution to the problem here.
...and the only reason why that's true is because (1) the "vast majority" are not Uyghurs and (2) (rightfully) fear their tyrannical government and take care to not offend it. If you changed the criterion to "likely to end up in [bad place] if they said stuff their government didn't like", the likelihood for Chinese citizens would be multiple orders of magnitude higher than for Americans.
Beyond that there's a fundamental issue that app store monopolies should be illegal. All marketplaces need competition.

Apple doesn't have the right to choose what I get to install on my phone.
Because we should support violent offenders just because now, because they're "against China" now, even if they're ignorant, illegal and misinformed? Who's using who with your support for this?
my dyson handheld is the best vacuum I've ever owned. The hand drier thing is clearly false, they work WAAAAAY better than the normal ones.
Qt is a great toolkit and I've messed around with it on Android on and off since Lighthouse. One thing I want to point out is that Qt is LGPLv3 and (in my non-lawyer opinion) this is a pain point on restricted application environments like the Google Play store on Android. Its not clear to me that you can comply with a user request to get access to replace or modify LGPL'd software in your application.
Are you sure BO are in the same class as Dyson ? BO seemed to me a very niche luxury brand, Dyson is way more mainstream. Both have different values.
I love my v8, you are right it isn’t the “best” vacuum cleaner, but it is so easy to use casually that I don’t really care. I might upgrade to a v10 someday because it fixes the emptying container problem, but I can even live with that for the moment.

If someone knows of any better cordless full sized vacuum cleaners, I’d love to know about them. Right now there are lot of low quality Chinese models available, but if you have problems with the Dyson, then you definitely wouldn’t be happy with those.
UPDATE: The Elixir position has been filled.
I think we have to weigh the risks vs. the potential rewards, and accept "premature death" as a possible cost.

The lack of ability to process out ammonia seems pretty debilitating, so that seems like it was a good candidate.

Jesse Gelsinger is a hero, and should be remembered as such.

That all said, we should glean as much science as possible from the postmortem to understand and prevent whatever misunderstandings resulted in the death, going forward.
That damages your hearing? Surely there must be a space between. Long time ago in a McDonald's in Poland I used one that would dry your hands in 5 seconds flat. It was powerful and loud, but only as loud as a blender. Which is loud, but not painful or damaging to ears...

EDIT: it looked similar to this one:

Except it had even lower power rating. I don't get why this states "25 seconds". Do people have hands made from sponge?
The real "benefit" of the bladeless fan is that it produces continuous wind rather than choppy wind. It's not exactly something you notice until you learn about it though. Then suddenly you start notice that regular fans actually are choppy.
I'm curious how all this is different from what Trump has been attempting to do at the US border? So shipping asylum seekers to a country with a semi-dictator or an island somewhere is considered acceptable?
I just could not stop laughing reading this. It does remind me, that my professor once showed us a slide of the coastline of africa, which none of us recognized until he rotated it to the correct orientation.
That's not a guarantee.

There were Nazi sympathizers in what would have been Union states during that time. Support for the war was not 100%.

If we're defining the South by the slave trade, then they'd have strong ties to the British, the French, and the Dutch through that. All Allied powers. Connections to the Axis powers would have been Portugal and Spain.

You're making the mistake of assuming that just because one immoral act was committed that there were no redeeming values to be found in the people.

That is just untrue.

It is interesting to speculate what would have happened had secession succeeded. We can speculate that slavery would have still eventually ended, maybe later. Reconstruction obviously doesn't happen. Do the two nations become more Canada/US, Mexico/US, East/West Germany, or even North/South Korea? Are there scuffles over unclaimed territory? Who knows.

The point is that it could have just as easily be the former Union joining the Axis. We don't know.
This seems like a purposely antagonistic comment?

>Any recommendations for a good vacuum are welcome!

Bought a Neato Botvac and I'm close to saying it's the single product that has improved my life the most in recent years.

I'm only cleaning a small flat but going from having to scrape dirt out of the carpet with an ineffective Dyson vacuum manually for an hour to literally pressing a button is crazy.

You get all of the cons of running your own business (stressful, wearing many hats, little compensation up-front), none of the overall control, and if it's ridiculously successful, your compensation will most likely be squeezed out during one of the rounds of investment.
I bought a dyson V6 refurb on ebay from the dyson store for roughly the same cost as a branded upright vacuum. I live in a 550 sq ft apartment, space is a premium. It's compact (Hangs on a wall in a cupboard, taking up a space that we wouldn't use anything else for, rather than a large part of one of our other small cupboards) - the battery life is about 20 minutes, which is enough time to clean my entire apartment in one go, it fits under all my furniture, hoovers up our pet hair.

What more could I ask for?

>Before that they had nothing. For 2+ years.

This is simply not true. They made it perfectly clear that they wanted a deal with the customs union and single market.

>True enough -- to a point. But he could say what the general outline of the UK's goals in the negotiations will be and how the strategy/objectives/redlines will differ from TM's and Boris's.

Could and did. The media has done a grand job of obfuscation about this despite the fact that it was right there in the manifesto.

>He cannot say for certain how the EU will respond to any proposal, although honestly Barnier has been crystal clear about what is required of the UK and what the options are.

What Barnier has been less clear about is whether they are prepared to negotiate a new deal at all after May's deal. The EU actually has flip flopped on that issue and its mind probably still isn't made up even now.

>And does Corbyn even know the difference between the Single Market and Customs Union? I have seen no indication that he does.

I suppose you have seen an indication that he doesn't?
When i wanted a new vacuum cleaner, i asked my cleaner. After all, she spends a substantial fraction of her working life using them. She recommended a Numatic Henry, so that's what i got. It's ugly, it's loud, but it's built like a tank and it could suck the bricks out of a wall.
I know what you mean. In the short term, a donut gets me really really high, it's like I'm on cloud 9.

The decline of US coal production is right there in the page that you linked to:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coal_mining_in_the_United_Stat...

American coal production peaked in 2008 at 1.172 billion short tons. Domestic use peaked in 2006 at 1.150 billion short tons. As of 2018 those numbers are down to 0.755 and 0.678 billion tons short tons respectively.

The EIA's latest Short Term Energy Outlook predicts that total US coal production for 2019 will be 0.679 billion short tons and for 2020 will be 0.603 billion short tons, 48% below the peak.

If you look at the "components of annual change" graphic in the EIA report, you can see that coking coal (used for making steel) is up slightly from 2017-2020. It's coal consumption for electric power that is in persistent decline.

https://www.eia.gov/outlooks/steo/report/coal.php

Coal supplies about 25% of American electricity in 2019 and is expected to decline to 22% in 2020:

https://www.eia.gov/outlooks/steo/report/electricity.php

Percentage-wise, coal reached its all time high in the mid-1990s, at over 50% of American electricity generation:

https://www.mjbradley.com/sites/default/files/MJBAcoalretire...

The Jevons Paradox observes the introduction of more efficient technology in an existing system but finds a "paradoxical" uptick in input consumption. The introduction of more efficient coal burning machinery in England was followed by higher coal consumption. That surprised Jevons.

The broadening of energy use (e.g. India developing like England did) certainly also increases demand for energy inputs, but it's a different case than the Jevons Paradox.

I think that the difficult part was the belief. I'd bet a thousand that Musk and others have clear ideas on how to automate car manufacturing a good 10x more now. Tesla went back to manual labour due to market / investor constraints. But electronics like assembly is not out of sight.
(not sure where you're based but...) a Henry! https://www.numatic.co.uk/products.aspx?r=4&sr=1 They're cheap, they're reliable, you can use them bagged or bagless, they're basically indestructible (our chimney sweep uses a bog standard one for the actual sweeping), if anything does break you can easily repair them, they are really very good at vacuuming. Excellent product, would buy again, if I ever had to.
Even had I not seen the effect in action, here and elsewhere, I'd still be willing to take people at their word when they say, as they have and do and will go on doing, that this kind of arrant nonsense does in fact depress their desire to participate in projects whose leaders engage in it, because it evinces a lack of essential respect on the part of those leaders for members of the groups whom those "jokes" target.

If you think they are lying about that, or can't be trusted for some other reason, here's your opportunity to explain your reasoning on that.

Yes, I think it does matter. It's arbitrary and capricious if HMRC can change the rules and retroactively apply them.

It's totally reasonable (absent a statute of limitations lapse) IMO for them to go back and retroactively enforce rules that you weren't following once they detect that. (I would even entertain that it would be unreasonable for them to not do so.)
