In other words: correlation is not causation.

I remember I've heard looooong time ago they used a similar method in Siberia to make primary school students stronger. Not sure if that's still practiced. But that cold exposure strengthens the body always stayed with me. (and now we have Wim Hof)
There is a world of difference between 4°C and say 14-18°C, at 4°C you just don't get used to it really!

A good method may be to use a fine spray and start with legs, then arms then working up from the bottom to top of the torso. That way the blood gets more time to withdraw from the limbs into the torso to maintain the core temperature.
Nobody have experience with 2checkout? I'm considering using it for a SaaS (they handle taxes, payout to latam), but the lack of references feels odd
In conservative western countries a large proportion of people are opposed to new development of all kings most of the time. That is absolutely true of energy developments, new housing, infrastructure. Dealing with public opposition is a basic neccessity of building stuff.

The mass Twitch exodus: Why streamers are leaving
Around the time this was published Finland tried to use nuclear instead. What they got was a nuclear plant that was planned to operate in 2011 and still doesn't work.

There was actually big talk about a "nuclear renaissance" in the first decade of this millennium. It hasn't worked out.
The sad state of Discord and Jitsi?

The following all work perfectly on my 3 monutor setup:

* google meet

* skype for linux

* slack

* a standard, from tutorial, webrtc screen share and chat

I also use turboVNC to do control between my own devices (it has decent graphics support).

I can't see what those three huge players are missing that the author needs. They've tried two smaller players and are decrying it as a platform issue. Plenty of other non hacker suggestions in this thread as well.
For downloading the data there is an option to download "Ads and Businesses" under "Information About You". I just downloaded it, and it includes all data that was shared.

However, the data only shows the source, timestamp and activity ID. The actual event data is not included..
For me it seems there is a 3-day difference between the last time I've used the app (today) and the last time they shared data with facebook.

Actually, some dude took a fat shit during the SARS epidemic and infected 329 people in other apartments...

I think I came across this on HN many, many years ago!

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S120197121...

From this paper
https://europepmc.org/article/med/15737152

"The index patient in the second super-spreader outbreak was an individual on hemodialysis for chronic renal failure who had diarrhea and, on two occasions, stayed with his brother in Block E in the Amoy Gardens residential complex.30, 31 Amoy Gardens has 19 residential blocks, with eight apartments on each of the 33 floors.31 In several bathrooms from block E, it was reported that the U-shaped traps linking the vertical drainage pipes, known as risers, to the sanitary fixtures, did not function properly. As a result, when water flowed down, the backflow from the risers was able to generate aerosols and spread pathogens into individual bathrooms. In addition, powerful window fans installed by residents in many bathrooms created a significant negative pressure that amplified the aerosol backflow. In the Amoy Gardens complex outbreak, 329 individuals were infected and 42 died."
I’m not sure if your statement is true.

Even if the app had it in their privacy policy, that would not mean it is legal to send your data to Facebook.

GDPR requires the users consent to do so. Having a statement in a privacy policy is imho not enough to qualify as consent.
There are people still driving cars older than 20 years. If the car is able to last 20 years I am sure plenty of people would keep it that long. Most people trade in their car due to it giving them trouble. It winds up being cheaper to trade in for a new model.... Wonder if car companies are in on this...
best way to get familiar with the degree of overhead is benchmark some things with benchmarkdotnet using linq and with for loops. lists and arrays and ienumerables. you will build up an intuition for the costs involved. groupby in particular is really nasty. any time you want to use that just put things into a dictionary instead.
There's an Emacs macro for that.
Yes, this is a RIDL variant called "L1D Eviction Sampling". Bolt the RIDL paper (Addendum 2 B [1]) and the CacheOut paper refer to the CVE-2020-0549: "L1D Eviction Sampling (L1Des) Leakage".

But the CacheOut paper describes how to use it in practice and why the intel fix is not sufficient.

From the info I got on one of the conferences on energy saving, the coal is used in addition to nuclear because of the spikes in electricity usage. So nuclear is only covering whatever is the lowest level throughout the day, while coal plant is being started two times a day to cover the spikes.

"People passed down complex oral culture with no "practical use"

You're not arguing with what you're responding to, are you? Knowledge with no practical use can accommodate a lot more imprecision. Reliability in a context where details aren't tested is a fuzzy concept.
We have about a 230 year supply as it stands, including mining out known deposits. However there are plenty of ways to use recycling, breeder reactors and alternative sources that could in theory give us nuclear power for thousands of years. That’s not forever, but it’s a start.

The underlying assumption of the incapacitation argument is that people can't change. Which evidently is wrong as other countries achieve much lower recidivism rates.

This essentially moral assumption (that people are inherently good/evil) is shared with the punitive approach.

If a country actually wants to lower crime, bank robbers and muggings, the empirical evidence clearly points in one direction: A focus on rehabilitation, and in the long run lowering of inequality through wealth redistribution. The latter isn't really plausible at first glance, but has been a stable observation for decades. Example source: https://siteresources.worldbank.org/DEC/Resources/Crime%26In...
Interesting question. I share this train of thought. When I restarted writing JavaScript (thank god with TypeScript ;)) and I realized filter/map/reduce array methods, my fear of lacking LINQ vanished away. Reduce is painful in the beginning (because it is different to SQL's GroupBy) but it is a foundation for so much more (once you REALLY understand it).

Some more helpers are useful (first, last, max, take, skip ... all with variation). They should added to the core language.
Ask HN: Efficient Usage of an API, Framework or Language
All of us use some kind of framework, API, language built-in libraries or 3rd party libraries while developing software. These software bundles provide us tools for reducing complexity, write more efficient code and apply DRY. But, what is your method to traverse a library and find out suitable methods for your need or how do you know the task in your hand is already done by the library you use?

To give an example, I wasn't aware of the StringJoiner class in Java and I've done all the concatenation with delimiters using StringBuilder all this time until I saw it while studying a book. It creates more readable code and feels more smooth, I wish I've used all this time.

PS: I am sorry if this is a silly question.
True. For some classes of problems, code generation is actually used here:

Outside of maybe DPRK and France (I kid but they do take their speeding seriously) speeding is a civil crime. Speeding by some large amount (20+ in most of the US) can be a misdemeanor at the cop's discretion. You'd have to do something far beyond speeding, like provoke a police chase or something, to catch a felony. I'm unaware of any state where you can catch a felony charge from speeding and only speeding (delusional prosecutors trying to charge people with things that have zero hope of sticking notwithstanding).
Nothing about the greenest and most sustainable solution: reducing consumption. Most Americans could drop their consumption by 75% purely improving their lives, before difficult decisions, many of which would also improve their lives. Several nations, like Thailand, have lowered birth rates purely voluntarily, increasing prosperity and abundance.

Without reducing, new power sources will repeat what led Norman Borlaug said on receiving the Nobel Prize for his part in the Green Revolution:

"The green revolution has won a temporary success in man's war against hunger and deprivation; it has given man a breathing space. If fully implemented, the revolution can provide sufficient food for sustenance during the next three decades. But the frightening power of human reproduction must also be curbed; otherwise the success of the green revolution will be ephemeral only. Most people still fail to comprehend the magnitude and menace of the "Population Monster"...Since man is potentially a rational being, however, I am confident that within the next two decades he will recognize the self-destructive course he steers along the road of irresponsible population growth..."

We haven't made much progress stemming growth. Projections to 2100 still show our population growing, yet our global footprint is greater than one Earth.
Gg: Outsourcing Everyday Jobs to Thousands of Transient Functional Containers
A meal planning app for weight loss. I lost 50 pounds using calorie counting a few years ago. The thing that frustrated me most was trying to come up with meal plans every week. It's quite tedious to constantly find new recipes if you get bored with eating the same meals over and over. The weeks I planned ahead of time, I lost weight quickly. When I didn't plan I would stop losing weight, sometimes for months. So I'm trying to build an app that automatically builds a meal plan for you that you can then tweak.

There's a ton of problems when you're dealing with food though. Calculating calories of a recipe you find online can be tough. On one side, it's a natural language problem to extract the ingredient, the amount, the unit, and the prep/notes. On the other side, it's a data/data matching problem, where you need good data on a ton of ingredients, and then need to pick a reasonable one for "1 cup of milk".

And of course everyone eats and prepares food so differently that suggesting meals they'll actually enjoy is hard without asking them a bunch of questions first.

Prototype for new kind of stirling engine, it's different from others like two-stroke to four-stroke gas engine. That would make solar thermal efficient even for low temperature difference (sub 100°C) or allow for storage of energy by using liquid nitrogen tanks for low-temperature side. I'm currently aquiring better home with garage to develop this idea.

Where are you getting your 20 year figure from? There's a study which says 10 years but doesn't account for the energy/co2 required to refine oil. EV battery packs can also be recycled as grid storage.

At the very least, each LINQ method needs an enumerator, which, since it's typed as an interface, cannot be stack-allocated, even for value types (like List<T>'s enumerator). For Roslyn they noticed that the additional GC pressure was indeed a problem. But for most projects I wouldn't say it's much of a difference (and definitely don't start banning LINQ or other things unless a profiler tells you there's a problem).
Nuclear power:

https://www.nytimes.com/1979/09/25/archives/haydens-start-a-...

After the movie the China Syndrome and the Three Mile Island accident, no one wanted nuclear power.
Exactly. Assuming they took a cold shower in the morning, sounds like this would wake them up in an aggressive way, probably raise their adrenaline level which made them less likely to call in sick. Once at work and levels wore off, you were already at work so you'll push through. Once you need to write things up, you have same day of sick days but more days when you were at work.

If there was a long term (day long) effect in reducing "feeling sick" there should be less sick days as people who are borderline sick start to feel fine and don't report being sick. But if your feeling is temporary, let's say 2 hours then you can get to work and after the fact report that you were sick.
The population growth is now sublinear, and expected to stop around 2070.

"There is no way we can predict the outcome", he said, writing from his climate controlled room surrounded by concrete for miles in any direction.

Don't worry, evolutionary systems are continuous and highly robust. Remember, nature is out there rolling dices and so far, no killer moths have been spotted, despite getting in 190 million years of moth gene dice rolls.
Or hydrogen production, hydrogen fuel cells, and hydrogen-based engines. Hydrogen can be created with electrolysis using solar, wind, or nuclear power. Hydrogen-based vehicles have a much better range. Refueling a hydrogen vehicle quicker than charging a battery. Also, it is easy to transport hydrogen to locations where there is no power grid.

(I guess we should do both, but I feel like hydrogen as a fuel seems to be ignored.)
Wow! Thank you so much for the explanation. This is indeed treating it as a query language.

I had originally thought this library is basically eval + Proxy, an approach I had explored before a bit, for running user-written scripts. Funny enough, I've also gone down the road of developing a mini-language, which has a check on each parsed instruction, to have detailed control of its execution.

I didn't realize the "remote function" gets parsed and transpiled on the server.

Using a custom Babel plugin to transform the source, placing a check on each step, that is genius.

Oh, and I see there's an in-memory cache, using the source itself as a Map hash. Practical.

Seeing the depth of thought that's gone into it, I really think you are onto something with this. It deserves more attention than it's gotten so far. I'm sure many people love this kind of meta-level language wizardry.
> It's just that they've been convinced that generics are justified.

I wonder if anybody’s actually changed their mind on this, or whether the opinion of the Go team has shifted simply because it’s made up of different people now.
You mean "basically free" as in 10ct/kwh (the price HinkleyPointC in the UK got guaranteed). While most renewable sources on the market get guarantees in the range 2-5 ct/kwh. Even Power2gas2power seems cheaper at this point. And let's not talk how long it currently takes to build a nuclear power plant. In Europe we are currently at about 20 years for that to happen. Sure that happens partially because people oppose it but people also oppose green energy in their backyard and even coal power plants are built faster.

If it is clever to shut down existing nuclear power plants (which are very often past planned life time) one can argue, but building new ones?

Criminalizing the risk of a bad outcome is a slippery slope toward losing a heck of a lot of freedom. Damn near everything is risky on some level. This is why we generally asses civil penalties and fines when people do dangerous things but don't actually hurt anyone.

Letting the citizenry speak their minds, bear arms, and be safe from unwarranted searches all comes with some level of "risk" to everyone.
Someone knowledgeable please advise:

Do cryotherapy or cold showers increase the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease in the long term?

"Tau phosphorylation is exquisitely sensitive to temperature, increasing by 80% for each degree below 37°C, due to exponential decrease in PP2A activity during direct hypothermia, or anesthesia-induced hypothermia."

This means that one might expect a significant increase in tau phosphorylation from modest decreases in body temperature, possibly leading to increased risk of Alzheimer's in the long run.

Are you a time traveller? Because I've only read about the "basically free nuclear" myth in some books from the early 80s.

It's amazing how successful activists have apparently been with nuclear and how unsuccessful in other areas. I wonder why it was so easy to stop when other industries are so much worse. My guess is that politicians don't like the decades of cost and program over-runs.

I can compare that on myself - I was very often sick (with common colds and such) and it got slowly better after I started cold showering regularly.

Cold swimming (which should include showering with cold water if you follow guidelines) is not exceptional here and people do report improvements in immunity. That is common reason for starting it - you are often sick and this is last desperate attempt to make it better after more pleasant methods did not worked.

The gene pool of a species is much more dynamic than you assume in your scenario. Combinations, deletions, mutations, introduction of new genes from other species is very common on biological timelines.

To put it as an optimization problem: a huge portion of the search space has been (and is actively being) searched already, with the current species as the optimal solution for the given ecological niche. Changing the genomic setup will with a high likelihood move away from this optimum, rendering your "new" species less fit for its niche.

Nuclear energy is not free, though. Doing it safely is pretty expensive. The "whatever" reason that many people were opposed to it, is that nuclear disaster and nuclear waste are serious issues. Just not nearly as serious as global warming is. It's possible that the risks posed by nuclear energy have been overestimated, while the risks of fossil fuels have been underestimated quite a bit.
Linq has Reduce as well, known as Aggregate (foldr/foldl in most functional languages).
1) The article does not mention consuming less energy/stuff - whether by being mush more efficient for the same result (huge potential there !) or with more sobriety

2) "there is no chance that the renewables, wind, tide and water power can provide enough energy and in time" was true in 2004, now this totally an option : this is cheaper and faster to deploy than nuclear

3) "Opposition to nuclear energy is based on irrational fear" in only partly true... 1% of all nuclear power plant did had a super serious problem (Fukushima, Three Mile Island, Chernobyl)... And there are other unsolved issues around the short term and long term security

The world's present measured resources of uranium (5.7 Mt) in the cost category less than three times present spot prices and used only in conventional reactors, are enough to last for about 90 years. [1]

There are an estimated 1.1 trillion tonnes of proven coal reserves worldwide. This means that there is enough coal to last us around 150 years at current rates of production. In contrast, proven oil and gas reserves are equivalent to around 50 and 52 years at current production levels. [2]
