This is pretty much a problem in public communication in Italy. There are some notable figures that (even if they are right) act in total disregard of deontological ethics, and make disparaging comments on other colleagues.

As the article notes, it is not a matter of agreeing but of treating other people in the scientific field with respect.

Also, some of those opinions may be wrong or just partially wrong, but we don't see that many mea culpa, if any.
Yeah, it all seems very weird to me. You're one DMCA notice from a random redditor away from having your entire website shutdown.

In general, you can't republish someone else's writing unless you get the permission from the author, or they publish it under a permissive license. Posting to Reddit does not put something in the public domain.
with WebComponents it's trivial to implement.
I've had mine for about a year. I put it in my garage which previously, would reach easily 100F + in the summer. This past summer, on the hottest day, it got to about 90 in the garage. When the water heater was running, it easily kept the garage below 90. I purchased the hybrid version which can use straight electricity when the heat pump won't cut it. This serves to also keep the garage cooler for the second fridge I have in the garage.

I was previously on propane to heat my water, which was costing between $50 - $60 a month. During the summer, my electricity bill only went up $12 a month. During the coldest part of winter, it was at about $30 a month more. But, I pay considerably less for electricity in the winter than in the summer.

Just for reference, I purchased the Rheem 65 gal 10 year warranty from Home Depot when it was on sale. This has definitely been one of the best purchases
Caffeine seems to be a known bronchodilator, so you're not wrong there.
The local public health departments need time to get testing and tracing working. It is the only way to open up safely. We are way behind the Asian countries that learned the lessons of SARS.

What rights do you think you have here? Businesses are controlled through licensing and zoning. Outdoor spaces are regulated. Which right are you referring to?
Raft itself - rather than any framework in which you would actually want to use it - is quite simple to implement. A few classmates of mine and I implemented a barebones Raft instance in about a weekend.
I'm going to express something a lot of people are thinking and are being far too diplomatic about.

React Hooks are a fucking stupid idea and always were.

They're basically just adding dynamic scoping to a language and framework which doesn't need it, in one of the most 'magical' and confusing ways possible. You have to care about execution order to understand exactly how they'll all work and that will bite you eventually if you're building anything without knowledge of all the contexts in which it's called.

There's a reason that most languages stick to lexical scoping: you can see the dependencies, in the same file.

And a large portion of the value of functional languages is that they avoid state, making magic-at-a-distance impossible.

Boilerplate is not the problem. Magic is the problem.
0.88 doesn't buy you very much room.

If it creeps up to 1.1, you still don't need many rounds of infection to completely overwhelm the system. 7 rounds of infection (~a month) would result in 10.4x more total patients.
I worked for Marin as a software engineer very early on and I'm actually still a shareholder (looking forward to it going to zero so I can declare full loss on my taxes). Their technology stack is tragic. That PA acquisition? They lost $1.1m on it. The company has never been profitable and the execs get paid a lot, yet do very little. I wouldn't give them a dime.
I read somewhere about a store who didn't sell "essential items", but they tried to begin selling those items and the local police prevented him from pivoting. iirc it was a small AZ town.

That may be fair; rereading Ginsburg's dissent though I'm still left wondering if it makes sense to apply precedent in the way the majority did, or if they were just making things up. It's quite possible that I'm just misunderstanding what I'm reading too though.
Except the phrase "Ok to print" is unambiguous consent. And should it occur somewhere where it is ambiguous what is being meant then it doesn't count as consent.

Sending a tweet to Disney with a generic hashtag can't be considered consent in any way, shape or form. What guarantee does DisneyPlus have that everyone sending them a tweet with hashtag #MayThe4th is intending that to count as consent?
Crops raised as ruminant food have different mechanical, nutritional, and yield characteristics than crops raised for humans, they are optimized for things other than being easy and palatable for humans to consume.

Consider edible beets and sugar beets. Sugar beets are technically edible but many people would find the experience of eating them to be unpleasant, since they were not bred to be edible by humans.

If you want to construct a story — which we both agree strays from the article — where I agreed to provide a specific service and if I failed the agreed remedy was to refund the payment, then, yes I agree to refund you with a cherry on top.

I think you are correct to want remedy. A big fix, a refund, a workaround, an apology, a million dollars, or a withdrawal of the study. Depending on circumstances.

In my world, most of the implicit contracts are. Shit happens and try to fix it. Yours might be refund me.
The keyword is "drain water heat recovery". I don't know the efficiency, but you can buy one for about $600.
I believe that medicine is one of the last guild systems, protected by law, and encumbered by all the rites and burdens thereof. The young acolytes are exploited by the old masters in return for an education which all claim cannot be delivered through any other mechanism (and actively preventing all attempts to try). The young must constantly prove themselves worthy of medicine, and the promise of future earnings and social standing (along with all the benefits of mastery within the system), and a guild master can lay any number of traps in the path of a prospective but unpopular aspirant in order to trip them up and toss them out.
for those that have an issue consuming coffee e.g headaches, stomach issues. my non-medical advice based on personal experiences is: try lighter to medium roasts. course grounds - french press | traditional brews. 100% arabica beans. flush with water i.e after a cup of coffee drink two - 4 cups of water. also mixing decaf n caffeinated coffee
The public response to COVID-19 made the transition from a scientific topic to a subject of politics/religion about a month ago. While I appreciate the author's sentiment I can't help but feel the authors' are pissing into a hurricane. At this point the course this thing is gonna run seems to be out of the control of scientists, academics and honest debate.

Daikin do used to have an Altherma product for sale, but heatpump for heating isn't as nice as gas furnace if you consider the fact that body temp is usually higher than the temperature heatpump outputs at efficient levels.

For example, to heat a room to 70 degrees indoor meant if they can output heat at 75 degrees then it'd be sufficient, unfortunately no one would want to have 75 degrees wind blowing on them in winter. We want something like 150 degrees so it actually feels warm.
Yes, even if this isn't required by the letter of the law, it certainly does seem to be required by the spirit of US law that the people are not mere subjects to be ordered around. At least in spirit, they deserve to be informed, so that they can make an informed decision about whether they believe their representatives are behaving reasonably. And if they don't agree, they can vote them out, or exercise their free speech rights to voice their dissatisfaction.
Well said (about the dynamics of why a precedent would be reversed) ... and welcome back.

I’m generally skeptical of content marketing that is mostly comprised of vague self-praise. I don’t know why this is on the HN front page. Though I guess arguably that’s a point in favor of their marketing competence.
It might solve some of the solar demand problem. Heat water up during the day when the sun is out, and then store that in an insulated tank.

Have both bath water and central heating run off that.
I know this is not a concept people are used to, but I’m really in to the idea of open source appliances. In that case there’d be one centralized (and forkable) project where skilled engineers from around the world could design a suitable machine. I’d love to see companies pop up to manufacture those designs the same way 3D printer companies have done.
Seriously. I have yet to find a non-techie user whose Downloads folder is not a complete mess, and why would they even know to organize it, it's so hidden from regular view. Many would just re-download things they might have already downloaded.
Yeah, except that I don't think they are allowed to feature your comment in promotional material without consent (tweets aren't public domain to the best of my knowledge). Same way you can't just reuse a Star Wars trailer in your own promotional material.

50$ a month for hot water seems really high? I’ve never gone over 20$. Anything you want to tell us?
The conclusion of the paper is that there isn't actually a significant difference between the algorithms. The Raft paper is much clearer about implementation, but (as Heidi says) the impl ideas from the Raft paper can be applied to Paxos in many cases. Raft's leader election _is_ a bit more elegant and results in a less complex implementation. The paper was a great read!

I never understood what was wrong with class components anyways. What did Hooks bring that couldn't be done in an easier to understand way with class components?
What are you talking about? The federal government has been basically a no show in this crisis. The state government is doing its best to avoid the scenario that Wuhan experienced where the hospitals were overwhelmed and the mortality rate shot up to 17%. I’m sure that there are other approaches, but this is the one most of the world is taking, and is their best guess at how to arrive at a good long term outcome.
If nothing else, at least we'll come out of this pandemic with some clear Supreme Court decisions to clarify what emergency powers state and local governments actually have. One nuance that people seem to miss is that timing matters. So a very short restriction on Constitutional rights may be acceptable, but the court places increasing scrutiny on those restrictions the longer they remain in place.
Anders Hejlsberg explains explains how “the IDE” way compiler works. First ~10 minutes is traditional compiler background. Then about ~8 minutes before he starts talking about how an IDE focused compiler works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSdV1M7n4gQ
> faring as well as its neighbors

It isn't though. Look at the number of deaths in Norway and Finland, and adjust based on population. Sweden is not doing very well. Perhaps, long term, the other countries catch up if they go through a cycle of opening up some and shutting down, but we don't know that now.
If the link was optional, so they could either share heat movement or discard waste heat, then there’d be plenty of room for an algorithm to sort it out.
My understanding is that the "traditional way" is based on a number of "passes". In my head it looks like:

1) Parse all the code.
2) Assemble the set of all types.
3) Typecheck all the code.
4) Translate the parse tree into unoptimized machine code.
5) Optimize all that machine code.

This is oversimplifying things, as in practice there are intermediate representations between the parse tree and the machine code. And optimization itself usually involves multiple passes of different kinds. But anyway, the key point here is that, if you change any of the code, you have to run all of these steps all over again. (I'm oversimplifying again. Maybe you only have to rerun them for a given "compilation unit", but that's bad enough.) This is the opposite of what you want for an IDE. There, you want to say "I just changed this function. Please recompile the absolute minimum necessary to tell me whether my change works." To answer a question like that efficiently, you have to rearchitect the whole compiler from being pass-based to being query-based, so you can give it instructions like "please update the type of just this expression".
Agreed, especially when it comes to how easy it is to build a bias. It seems it’s impossible to find any viewpoints that differ from what the hive mind consensus, even if it’s devils advocate or constructive. This likely applies to all forms of social media, including hn.

I do my best to keep within more niche subreddits that mostly focus of interests, but sometimes I find myself pulled into r/all.

Food processing automation is the standard way of doing business - think about each item on the supermarket shelf, and how it got there. Essentially nothing is hand-made and as you go up in volumes you tend towards 24/7 factory operations. And of course there are efficiencies to be gained at scale.

Robots tend to be for lower-volume activities.

There is always work been done - for example on delicate fruit there are a host of companies and machines that do things like sorting and even picking.
https://www.compacsort.com is a good example.

Robots tend to be for lower-volume: https://www.roboticsplus.co.nz/robotic-apple-packing

But for foods like potatoes the sorting machinery is pretty simple as spuds are easy to handle.

On the farm there are lots of solutions for automating the various process they have. The larger the farm the more is automated.

For example on a dairy farm you'll see milking machines that range from expensive robots (small, European farms) that allow no-touch operation, to inline or rotary milkers that allow decent volume with low/no touch etc.

Unless you intend to setup border checkpoints, with two-week quarantine camps for people traveling from LA to the Bay area, you have to look holistically at the region.

That’s a great idea. If you had enough money you could hire engineers to make version 1 and kick it off. Or maybe you could recruit some engineers?
I feel like the article didn't really answer that question. Also, given that some of the most successful people I know don't drink coffeine at all, I wonder if the assumption is even correct.
Hard disagree. It should be impossible to make any truthful claim about a NULL with respect to any other value including NULL. Thus it is correct that both foo = bar is false and foo <> bar is false.

Were it any other way, joins wouldn’t work properly.
During a college lecture I had what my friend described as a short seizure, for me I definitely felt like I was passing out and I had visions. I carefully walked to the campus hospital and the doctor I met with put forth his best guess that my excessive caffeine consumption had irritated the Vagus nerve causing me to pass out. So that's something to be wary of, oh and the withdrawal headache you'll get on Sunday if you forget you have a pretty hard weekday coffee habit.
The Bay Area shelter-in-place orders purport to ban you from inviting friends over, which is neither licensed nor regulated.

So much this. Mine is a trite comment, but I can't put it any better than you have.
Some politicians have pointed out that some lower income people are getting paid more to _not_ work now, due to unemployment benefits and the CARES Act.

I'm not saying that I agree with those politicians.

It seems like the concern for lower income people runs the gamut from them not being able to make it to them living high on the benefits hog.

Edit: It's not just politicians-- similar stories are on CNBC: https://www.cnbc.com/2020/04/22/she-got-a-paycheck-protectio...
That's a decision for those in government, but personally I see it as a balance of risk vs reward. There is a high risk of infection and relatively little benefit. It is probably better, for society as a whole, to pay the unemployment payments and have long hair for a while.

Shampoo doesn't remove the virus from one's lungs or exhalations. I'm not sure what benefit shampoo would have over, say, gloves. PPE is good but hairstylists aren't usually trained in its proper use.

I would hope dentists' offices reopen before hairstylists. Dentists are presumably more able to properly use PPE and disinfectants.
Does there have to be a statute to advocate for a rational, numerical based approach to public policy?

You're a super smart, analytical guy. You don't see any problem with imposing extremely restrictive rules on a population of millions without even a basic attempt to quantify what your desired outcome is?
Wow.

From their terms of use: "Disney DTC LLC and/or its affiliates and subsidiaries (collectively, “Disney” “we” or “us”) are pleased to provide to you certain websites, software, applications, content, products, and services (“Disney Products” and “Products”), which may be branded Disney, ABC, ESPN, Marvel, Pixar, Lucasfilm, FX, Fox Searchlight, 20th Century Fox, National Geographic, or another brand owned or licensed by Disney."

What Disney is arguing is that their Twitter account is magically a "Disney Service", and that by tweeting at them, and using a specific hashtag, you are magically using their service, which would then bind you to their terms of service.

Fuck right off. That's not how this works.

I understand what Disney wants, it wants to use other people's tweets in their own promotion materials. That is fine, provided they ask permission from the authors of said tweets. But since they're lazy fucks, they're trying to pre-emptively argue that if you use that hashtag, they already asked, and you already said ok, so they don't have to go through the hard, hard, work of actually asking people and documenting their consent.

One seminal work on the subject is No More Heroes: Madness and Psychiatry In War by Richard A. Gabriel.

One facet of difference, according to Gabriel, is range.

In the Ancient and Medieval world, a mile or two from the enemy was a comfort zone, at least for awhile. You could sleep soundly, there.

In more modern times, the comfort zone gets progressively and massively, further away.

Today, depending on armaments, can you sleep soundly when you're 50 or 100 miles from an enemy army? Are you safe, there? A fighter jet, presently 50 miles away, could strafe you and everyone around you mere minutes from now, in an incident that's over before you can get out of your sleeping bag.
> perhaps its time for governments to expect better treatment for Amazon employees.

Not sure why it is government's business unless some law is being violated. Using government to enforce "I feel good about it" policies through violence is a sure shot way to harming everyone.

Treatment given to Amazon (or any other employee) employee has nothing to do with the profits of the company, it is all about what the competitors are able to give to those employees.

Constant vilification of factories and large manufacturing corps eventually took all those jobs to China, same might happen with tech companies as well.
The fact that this article exists, and needs to exist, worries me more than any virus or lockdown.

Ask HN: Are most non-NewEgg sellers scammers?
I ordered some "in-stock" processors from NE seller Technology Galaxy that "shipped", they "lost" them and NE never credited my card.

I ordered the same "in-stock" processors from NE seller BuyVPC and they just voided the transaction without any communication after creating a shipping label. Also, no credit.

I'm out two weeks and $4000 in credit because of this.

NE seems like a platform that promotes and encourages fraud. I think I'll just have the credit card company chargeback NE due to their gross negligence and incompetence.

PS: Watch out for the boxed vs. OEM/tray processors bait-and-switch scam too. Get what you paid for (warranty) or send it back.

There were three huge changes to Reddit culture that I noticed. I might have these out of chronological order, but that's not material to the changes themselves.

The first was when posts started showing thumbnails. This made image content much more viable. Unfortunately, while there's plenty of awesome image content, it's also one of the lowest-effort routes for "shitposts" (the definition of which is left to the reader).

The second was the growth of subreddits. This allowed the community to split and silo itself. As a clichéd example, you can pick your left-wing politics subreddit or your right-wing politics subreddit, and you never have to mix with the other, bad one!

And the third was the death of Digg, which sent a huge influx of people Reddit's way. That one's got a lot of folk mythology behind it and little hard data, so I'll say no more.
That (1) driving is a pre-cursor to contact with others and (2) driving requires contact with others (gassing up, toll booths, parking attendants, snacks, LE and so on) and (3) driving could lead to accidents which might in turn lead to you ending up in the ER or requiring ambulance transport.
