Possibly my favorite piece of writing on the Internet, a substantive, totally engrossing investigative mystery set on what feels like the Martian frontier.

The writer’s descriptions of preparing for searches limited by the environment to a couple of hours might as well have taken place in an airlock, and (spoilers!) when they finally turn up some evidence towards the end and manage to involve the local scattered populace & sheriff in the hunt before the payoff...

Read with a tab of Google Earth open and follow along with the clues for a weirdly immersive experience, preferably on a hot and dry day!
Solar panels and heat pumps sound expensive, and it feels like that’s laying the burden on the landlords to install these technologies.

Wouldn’t it be more productive to centralize an efficient form of power generation, and let the consumers choose how much they can afford to pay for through their electricity meters?
> Getting pregnant is not something you cannot avoid.

Unless you promote not having sex at all, then yes, it’s something you cannot avoid. You can take precautions, but contraception fails.

And that still doesn’t even touch topics such as rape.
So? If you're stupid enough to opt in to having an unnecessarily tall vehicle then you should expect more difficulty in using the road.
Well, even within the wikipedia article you see quite a few definitions under 'variants'. It's also nearly a word for word copy of how it is defined in contrast to the mediocrity principle ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mediocrity_principle )

Either way, his point is fundamentally pretty close to even the WAP definition in the summary.

I think it's fairly self evident, though. If there is only one set of observers in the entirety of the observable universe, those observers would be inaccurate in assuming that they are unlikely to be special because they exist and therefor others likely to as well. We just can't make a deduction about the probability of life based on the fact we exist, because for us to make that observation we have to exist, regardless of (im)probable it was. You can reach the same conclusion just thinking about selection bias - we have selected for intelligent life out of necessity, because if we hadn't, we couldn't be around to make the argument either way.
It mostly depends on the actual network hardware, drivers and the access point, not the OS.

When a WiFi device does a 'scan' (which it needs to do to know if there might be a better AP to connect to, amongst other things), it has to retune the radio to another frequency. That means it can't listen on the original frequency, and packets get lost. Depending on the network design, they might be retransmitted from the access point (layer 2 retransmit, a few milliseconds), or by TCP after a timeout (1 network round trip, hundreds of milliseconds often).

A third option is your laptop tells the AP that it is going into a power saving mode and won't be listening. Packets are then queued for it while it retunes and does a scan.

Best would be to have multiple radios, one whose only job is scanning. Then there would be no latency impact at all.
Maybe they changed this. I thought that was a rule to begin with
And UWP improves on it, giving more C++ features across the ABI, basically what .NET v1.0 should have been all along.
Well, I've found it pretty useful to hand animation in js as-is for specific patterns (as we actually handle the specific bezier curve animation, timings, etc...)
Corrupt, sparse, irregular and ugly: Deep learning on time series
I think the first gen AirPod was 200ms, and current AirPod Pro had it down to ~150ms. Which is already the outliner in the industry as most are still 250ms+.

Compared to Wired Headphone of 5ms latency.

At least Apple continues the R&D to lower latency. Hopefully someday it will reach sub 50ms.
In addition to that, buildings should be made to last. Badly designed or built houses can be just ticking time-bombs for mold and other air-quality issues, and certainly not sustainable.
What a coincidence! Today is my 5th day of fasting. I've only been having water and coconut water[0] (one or two glasses a day).

The first few days which were a little tough. From midway through the third day onwards, I started feeling absolutely fine. There is an overall feeling of lightness. And, of course, the amazing experience when I have that glass of coconut water is truly indescribable!

zero copy supposedly means you're saving on memory allocation when reading. You're saving the decoding step, so my guess would have been that in practice you're gaining both on memory consumption and cpu.

If in a group of a million people you had enough people interested in and capable of doing the science necessary for making progress interstellar communication or travel, we would have many many many times more people working in those fields today.

A civilization with only a million people in it would have priorities vastly different than our own.
Definitely, I'm not affiliated to Sketch but there are a few things on the article that are outdated. Through Sketch Cloud you can actually handle commenting, clickable prototypes and assets for the front-end team (avoiding using Zeplin and Invision). The plugin ecosystem is really strong on Sketch as well, and they are also rolling out collaborative editing this year.

This is most obvious when learning a second language. If you're eg an English speaker learning German vocabulary, you soon notice that you can look at the German words and know what they mean quite easily, but the other way round is significantly more difficult.

After learning some vocab you learn that it's barely ever worth the time to even study German->English as English->German is "real" learning while the former just makes you feel like you are.

It would be 840, not 841, if rounded down. Wikipedia says you should add 0.2 mm before rounding down (which gives you the expected 841), but it doesn't explain where that number comes from.
I’ve been doing web development for more than 23 years. I’ve pretty much stuck to vanilla JS that entire time (though I did use jquery during the worse of the browser incompatibility years). I keep meaning to learn some of the newer libraries but never get around to it since vanilla JS does everything I want it to do and I already know it. I wonder if I would be as surprised by what libraries like Vue can do as this person is about vanilla JS.
What does it have to do with individualism or collectivism? Why are you bringing an opinion of Sapolsky as if he was an important person?

What I am telling that the current H1B system in US does not benefit anyone exception for the employer and probably enslaved employee. The original motivation behind the program is decent - let the really outstanding specialists to develop more (as US provides more opportunities for the top people), but what it become is essentially stripping the countries of intellectual power in bulk, and using back in US for a cheap price, basically enslaving them, by locking them via H1Bs. American workforce suffers, because they are under constant stress for being replaced by cheap H1Bs, the poor countries suffer, because of brain drain, world becomes more unequal, USA becomes more unequal.

I never said nothing about "imprisonment" - most of poor countries are not prisons, and especially not for IT specialists, who can have some decent quality of live with their salaries. And the only hope for "the prisons" as you mentioned before to improve, is to keep their intellectuals in.
Isn’t that completely missing the point laid out in the paper?

The paper is say that those who have more money pollute more and consume more resources. Your solution seems to be to let people with more money consume more resources, rather than building more efficient buildings that reduces everyone’s resource consumption.
Came in for the content, stayed for the article's format, which is quite something. Interactive, and using spaced repetition as a built-in. You can tell a lot of work has gone into this.

Does intelligent life exist on other planets? Technosignatures may hold clues
Ask HN: Which business commentators do you read weekly?
Over the last few years, I have seen a trend of journalists and analysts moving away from the big newspaper brands to set up their own publications and newsletters.

In the tech space, Ben Thompson at Stratechery is a classic example.

But there are others, like Dan Frommer at The New Consumer.

Do you regularly read any one-person publications or the blogs (or newsletters) of individual analysts who illuminate a specific sector on a regular basis?
I claimed fundamental principles, not fundamental properties. :) I think there are a number of ways to add neutrino mass to the standard model without introducing new principles.

But this is at the end just semantics. We don't know by which mechanism neutrinos gain mass yet. We don't know any number of things about non-terrestrial observations. There clearly is plenty of physics to discover. But it's easy to underestimate the discrepancy to Kelvins days. When he made that statement the existence of electrons had not yet been discovered. Atomism was something coming out of chemistry, not out of physics, and at the close of the 19th century time it was still possible to doubt the reality of atoms.

You focus on ether dragging, but in fact it was not understood what the mirrors Michelson used were made of, or how they got their reflective properties.
The problem with Monopoly was it was originally designed to not be fun except for the one person winning. You thought you were playing a game, but instead it was educating you on how the haves end up having more.
I think one point of the article is that there are few structural incentives for adoption of these sorts of technologies. It's let up to the good will of the consumer, who in almost all cases has to spend a lot more for what is an external benefit.

For another example, I subscribe to Ethical Consumer magazine [1], who rate products and companies on everything from carbon impact to animal use/abuse to tax avoidance. Invariably, the most ethical products are the most expensive. It simply costs more when you don't externalize negative effects. So the products are there, but they're only purchased by the small cross section of folks who can afford to and choose to essentially double their cost of living. What we need is (at the very least) societal, structural incentives towards more ethical capitalism.

This was my biggest disappointment with the AirPod pros. On my phone the sound and mic quality is good. If I try to use it on my MacBook Air on zoom it’s totally crap. Audio only is good-ish (I get some brief disconnects when there’s no sound some time, but the audio quality is good). With the mic it’s absolutely not.
And now we witness everyday spaghetti code written on the top of some framework and each noodle is wrapped five times in a needless abstraction.

There is nothing preventing you to write nice and clean code in plain JS.
A lot of people link CS with a career as software engineer for the web but leave out a lot of other software engineering and research opportunities. I get that a deep knowledge of CS doesn't always directly help while doing web development but it can really help in other area's of software development (embedded systems, OS, graphics, etc.)
There are a lot of interesting developments in the haptics world, yet we have to see something really interesting and different from vibrations to get to the next level..

I tried to build a startup around haptic technology which could have changed things in that space. It didn't work out as we couldn't get funded. Still, a prototype is laying on a shelf somewhere...
Supposedly the drivers are also full of hacks. Blacklists and Whitelists for which devices actually support certain features. A device might say it supports a specific codec, but then when the phone starts streaming audio it causes the headset to lock up.

It's a bunch of hacks all hacking around the other hacks.

Being unable to verify the reports does in no way make them false. There must be some actual evidence of widespread falsification of reports. Many of these killings have actual recorded evidence of the criminal shooting or drawing a firearm, such as the video a month or two back of a black man fleeing from police in a park. Currently your claim that armed suspects shot by police were not actually armed is simply a theory which has no evidence to back it up. How many of these cases do you believe are framed by the police? 20%? 40%? 80%? All of them?

All officer involved shootings are investigated, but you take issue with the investigation being internal. If an independent investigation office was created, would you accept the results if the results still were the same? What group, would you accept results from in independent office from as not compromised or part of a pro-police conspiracy? Certainly not any Trump appointed office, no matter how seemingly neutral.
There is also the aspect that "responsible" companies know that they cater to affluent consumers and simply can afford to charge more. Vegetarian products for example shouldn't be more expensive than meat, because the raw materials are quite cheap compared to raising animals, yet they usually cost more.
Are we? Most people have no clue that their two cats hate each other (which they are most likely to do if they did not grow up together) or that their dog has chronic backpains (which many breeds do because they have overly long backs like the Dachshund) or difficulty breathing (like all breeds with short noses) or that their horse is bored to death (which they tend to be because they are kept in a much to small lot). We are pretty terrible with our pets. We just like to imagine we are not since we consider ourselves emphatic and don't hear a complaint so all must be good.

>I think the problem is that a rational person (in our current definition) is incentivized to spend most of the available income/wealth during his/her lifetime

This is not necessarily a problem; there's no objective way to weigh up the satisfaction of somebody alive now against the satisfaction of some hypothetical person alive in future. And attempting to do so introduces some interesting questions, e.g. if we seek to maximise the satisfaction of future people, as individuals should we try to have as many children as possible? Because more people means more overall satisfaction.

In the context of the cost of a building, the cost of these elements is near-insignificant. Less true if you're retrofitting them to an existing building, but for new builds (which is what OP suggested) they ought to be mandatory.

IIRC there is a limiting factor with (ground-based) heat-pumps, though... the in-earth elements can't be placed too close to each other before they lose efficiency badly through competition for the same heat energy stocks. (Somebody who knows more about this should correct me.)
I think its a problem with selling. People want to sell. So out with the old, in with the new. Lets revive some of the trends from the 70's. Or lets rewrite all this code to use classes. Sell more books and courses. Hate on all solutions that dont require out products. Are you still writing plain old JS? In order to be pro you need to use these frameworks... Its all marketing. Trying to argue is like standing on a train track and argue a train to stop. The train will just continue. And plenty of people wanting to be on the hype train.

Second problem is that buyers are not result focused. Few companies understand that they pay for these cool frameworks every time a user visit their website. They pay with 15% less conversion, or lower user satisfaction.

The human species doesn't need to be wiped out for civilization to end,at least at the level of being interested in interstellar communication. It's true tho that civilization may spring up again after some time, so perhaps that should be factored into the equation.

And nuclear war had been only narrowly avoided on around 13 documented occasions in the last 70 years [0]. Some of these events were avoided by happenstance, not any kind of systematic protection. This kind of luck will not continue forever. And if it does break out, right now we don't really understand what may happen to the planet if the US or Russia unleash their full nuclear arsenal, rather than just bombing one or two cities.

You need a small amount of insulin even during ketocis, otherwise you will go into ketoacidosis. Type 1 diabetics suffer from destruction of b islet cells and thus have reduced to zero insulin production. There are some reasons why you might have a small insulin production( e.g. acute pancreatitis destroying some but not all b islet cells) but those are pretty rare. For most people the destruction happens as a result of an auto-immune disorder and eventually they all get destroyed. So maybe there's a period between the diagnosis( usually around ~90% destroyed cells) and when all cells get destroyed that you can manage it with keto. But it won't last forever and thus is not a cure.
If someone uses framework because they would write spaghetti code without it, I guarantee that they still write spaghetti code, just served in the framework provided boxes.

Bringing an Economic Revolution to Chess
No tech in history has ever included everyone. All ideologies are lies, “buy low sell high” bullshit. Build any tech that makes the world a better place, and try to make it as inclusive as possible. My intuition is that for breakthroughs to occur, we need new technologies in creating markets for activities with high positive externalities. Look at education, for example. The budget on that seems mostly wasted, because there is not a good market to direct the spending to efficient solutions. If we look at MOOCs and KhanAcademy and similar projects, it’s clear that they are more or less worse versions of a traditional class. They could be so much more. We could have great interactive, multimedia textbooks with integrated teacher support that answer questions, and integrated exercises that auto-grade and tell you how to fix your mistakes. We could have platforms that measure and certify productivity of workers, so that the current credentialism and mad-high university prices crash down.
Our problems won’t be solved by religions. Religions have never worked. The only thing that can solve our problems is social innovation. We need better institutions that align incentives of decision-makers to their people, and create competition to drive progress. If you look at why first world countries are better than third world countries, you’ll see it’s because of better institutions, not religions. In fact, third world countries are much more keen on religion and virtue signaling. Religion thrives on poverty and corruption.

>> I know what it is to know how things work underneath the high level languages (PHP, JavaScript and Python for me)

I suspect this has helped you more than you seem to know. This knowledge opens doors; gets you jobs you couldn't otherwise get; and makes you a better programmer.

>> In Python (my language of choice for the last 7 years along with JavaScript) I do not really have to care about pointers, stack or heap allocation, how memory gets create or cleaned, etc. I also do not need to know if there is a virtual machine, a garbage collector, etc.

I have seen some horrendous Python code written by people who didn't understand these things. The Python VM "hides" them from you, but they're still relevant for writing fast, correct code as almost every operation in the language ends up using one or more of those "under the hood".
