Our metabolism increase from walking 5-15 minutes every day is significant. With individual car transportation there is little want or little ability to do so. Many schedules do not allow for daily 60 minute exercise routines at the gym which take 10-15 min to get there by car.

Every day US citizens waste hours life with transportation. I do believe in cars but I also believe we need to reshape how we live. If the US government allows our time to be wasted repeatedly by a variety of lobbies building infrastructure for a variety of interests it shows how little our leadership values the time of our citizens. I almost find it more egregious that government wants to waste the time of our citizens than wanting to eventually kill ourselves with emissions.

The US currently has an oversupply of labour and I suggest the US does something with it to reshape infrastructure to be less energy reliant.

The world should look into outfit and create houses with manditory natural cooling/heating, increase density in cities and towns to reduce habitat distruction and sprawl, reduce emissions of high GWP chemicals, and create a global political situation to reduce reliance on a failing economic system that incentivizes people to hide pandemics.
The monetary policy of the USA is insane these days. Tax cut and spend is here for the moment. Taxes will go up but so will spending...

It shouldn’t be impossible. Diff the latest revision with the first. If it’s simply a revision of an existing product, things don’t change that much. If it’s substantially different, it’s simply a new product. Even small revisions of products usually get entirely new product names and numbers. It’s weird to let one product hang around for 10 years and go through several changes.

Hell, don’t let the product name change. Have a base name and an extension that can be appended and edited, with a text requirement for each (eg 12 characters minimum for the product name and 30 characters max for revision extension.) Do something similar with the description content and have a space for product changes/enhancements following an uneditable and mandatory product description.

How would this have prevented Sun from “imploding”?

Wasn’t Sun’s main issue that they were selling extremely expensive hardware and a proprietary OS that were completely overtaken by x86 and Linux?

I remember getting to play with the very expensive hardware they’d handout to startups in the late 90’s and early 00’s. It was good hardware, but it wasn’t so much better than the slightly more buggy and much less costly Linux systems at the time.

To the contrary, lives sacrificed is necessary for liberty.

Personally, I would rather die of covid (or terrorists) than be locked in my house (or have my movements surveilled) by a government that fetishizes safety above all else. To hell with safety.

A friend of mine was dosed without her knowledge or consent at a festival. She thinks it was from a cup of punch she was given, input to this day can’t be sure of the route of ingestion. She was familiar with LSD and realized what was happening, but was not prepared for it and had a rough time.

It’s completely irresponsible to give someone a drug without consent, outside of some forms of medical intervention, regardless of your intentions.

Why does anyone even need to decide? Just look at the amortized costs for any activity, whether it is "essential" or not. Essential things still cost money. The only thing you might want to do is provide a rebate for taxes on "essential" activities. This still provides the market pressure for people to minimize costly activities (but doesn't ban it), while being net zero impact to revenue.

Someone mentioned there are 200 climbing accidents a year. Figure out how much that costs, and bake it into the cost of some climbing specific requirement (climbing permits? equipment? gym memberships?). I doubt the cost will be significant. And if it is, maybe we should rethink climbing as an activity.

Same with sugar. Figure out how much added sugar actually costs in terms of health impacts, and tax sugar appropriately. A key point of this strategy is that if you aren't consuming a large amount of e.g. soda, as a parent post claimed, then the tax is negligible anyways.

Have you tried dancing? Given you have found so much depth in "simple" movements like barbell exercises, do you think it is reasonable to assume that every single move in dance (of which there are countless) would all have equivalent depth? What happens when you start linking moves - you then get a combinatorial explosion of compound movements to practice.

I recently took up dancing to improve my fight game. I went in thinking it would just be a fun/different way of working on footwork, I was quickly amazed how it is very different to most the other sports I've tried.

Someone else mentioned musical instruments on this HN post - I think that might be it. Dancing is a musical instrument where you trade sound for expressivity in your body. So suddenly you've taken a sport and you have layered rhythm and musicality on top of it - and your movements are coupled to your understanding of those.

That's quite deep, I guess at high level boxing you get similar concepts without the music element (ideas of tempo and upsetting people's tempo).

I think my biggest value I took away from dancing was learning a new energy to take to sports. Whatever you do in dancing, it needs to look smooth and soft - that is the name of the game. But there is a stiffness and explosiveness I take to most my sports and learning to apply softness has been valuable. After all most of the greatest all time athletes have an easiness about their techniques which I guess correlates to efficiency.

I think I agree with your overall point on your post - if you sleep on any activity you won't get much value from it, the corollary being that if you go deep on something you will find lots of value in it. I guess my specific reply to you was "don't sleep on dancing"
Black body radiation is interesting and does make sense, but then it brings up another question, which is:

"If there is black body radiation everywhere in space -- then why doesn't space itself heat up until it's eventually the temperature of the Sun?"

Maybe objects in space, such as planets, act as "heat drains" for the rest of space... that is, all of the heat (information) in space eventually winds up at a physical planet, or other object in space...

If this is true, then this leads to an interesting identity, which is basically that every element, that is, everything on the periodic table from hydrogen on downward, is not just an element, not just matter, but also has an identity in terms of heat/information...

In other words, every single element (and by extension substance) is what it is, but could also be thought about simultaneously as heat, and simultaneously as information.

Which brings up endothermic/exothermic chemical reactions.

That is, chemical reactions between two or more elements (for example, hydrogen and oxygen combining to produce water) where heat is produced (combining them via fire), or where heat is consumed (note that the separation of water into hydrogen and oxygen via electrolysis, as far as I know, is neither endothermic or exothermic -- so where did the information go? Into the electricity? It's possible, we can't rule out that possibility...)

And then the next question... Do chemical elements combined as a compound (such as water) then store the information as heat from the reaction somehow, or does it somehow dissipate, does that information somehow come back when they are separated?

I don't know the answer to any of these questions; I'm just thinking aloud, but my intutive mind says that there may be something to discover there...

Supercharge Keto BHB Reviews
We generally suggest conversing with your primary care physician before beginning a keto diet or expanding your ketone consumption. Individuals with diabetes need to control the measure of ketones in the circulatory system cautiously, and individuals with hypertension should be cautious with the aggregate sum of salt expended. For sound people, be that as it may, keto salts are an extraordinary method to supercharge the weight reduction from a keto diet.

I find it kind of hard to believe the United States government hasn’t identified the seeds. I bet I could get a reasonably close ID with a photo of the seeds and Google. Surely there’s at least one government lab and several dozen government scientists capable of figuring it out.
As an undergrad, thanks to TeX making the dieresis readily accessible, I was fond of its use. I remember someone commenting that my writing "coördinates" with a dieresis made him want to pronounce it as if he were Inspector Clouseau.
I think it's bad to let your tools become a crutch to avoid gaining a deeper understanding.

That being said, if you take a software developer's CPU away what are they supposed to do - build their own foundry? Same for electrical engineers - can they really be faulted for an inability to design a modern chip without the help of extensive tooling?

(I'm certainly nowhere near being capable of implementing my own C++ compiler from scratch.)
Customs might get even more suspicious about seeds, since (1) there are all sorts of regulations about agricultural imports and (2) the seeds could be for an illegal substance, such as marijuana.

Running a cloud infrastructure for PII isn't exactly low cost, and bundling a life time subscription with a one time device purchase is horrible economics. It isn't done for no reason.
It won't dry up that quickly.

As long as customers still use SAP and Oracle it will be a long while.

The problem with enterprise software was never the technical details - it was getting archaic, inefficient business processes in systems that didn't support those processes.

This doesn't change with SaaS. Extension tools have gotten better but the core problem still exists. So many customers still use on-prem SAP hosted in the cloud. The end result is the same requirement for everything but sysops.
None of the Berke Breathed comebacks have done much for me.

I downplayed the value of the P&L, but your right. If the person ultimately wants to get to a CTO role, I imagine the P&L becomes more important overtime. Knowing when to back a project may come down to knowing whether it impacts the right metric.

The other thing probably worth studying earlier is HC costing. It’s really easy to understand, but often catches directors/vp in non-finance functions off guard.

> wonder (with my limited knowledge on the exact nature of the language) why we still print 'ye' if the 'y' was a shorthand for 'th'

Where it is pronounced “the”, it wasn't really a shorthand for “th” it was a rendering of “þe”, because the cursive “þ” came to look like “y”. Because we don't use “

But, actually, in Ozymandias it's not that form, it's the pronoun, which was actually pronounced “ye” and spelled “ye”, an alternative form of “you”, not the article pronounced “the” and spelled “þe”.

I think two of the items will have a particularly significant impact.

The camera and lens will yield a vastly superior result, much more visually pleasing. If you’re capturing video for public consumption, it’s well worthwhile considering. (Concerning the camera body: Troy speaks of the Sony α6400, but the α6100 will produce identical results at a somewhat lower price; the main differences are that the α6100 lacks colour grading profiles—something only useful if you do post-processing—and has a plastic body and an inferior screen and viewfinder.)

The computer: ten years is a rather long time in desktop CPU performance. Per https://www.cpubenchmark.net/year-on-year.html, the average desktop CPU is now more than 5× as fast as the average 2010 one. That rate seems roughly right for high-end consumer CPUs, though once you go up to your Threadripper SKUs it jumps up to 7.5–10× the best of then ’cos you’ve got so many cores, though at a somewhat higher price. And that’s just CPU—storage is waaaaay more than 5× faster; if you are still on a ten year old hard disk drive, updating to a solid state drive alone will increase task performance for many things far more than fivefold; make it NVMe with a new PC and some things you do may genuinely be more than a hundred times as fast.
Always interesting to see other people's setups.

I'm curious how that ZigBee graph was generated. Would be really cool to see under the hood of the network my Hues have formed. He mentions a "ConBee II sniffer". I skimmed Google for ConBee II, and indeed it's a ZigBee gateway, but I couldn't find any explicit sniffer functionality?

> I ended up with an Eaton 5P 850VA / 600W Line Interactive Tower UPS

It bothers me to no end that UPS's are rarely specified by their Energy capacity (e.g. Amp-Hours or Watt-Hours); only the maximum Power. Often times the Energy capacity isn't even specified anywhere obvious; you have to dig to find it. Bonkers.

> The main consideration was whether I should get 3 x 4K screens or go with an ultrawide which tends to be a lower pixel density.

Having gone Ultrawide, I regret it. It sounds good on paper, but it has proven to be far more hassle than it's worth. The problem is: if you tile windows into two halves, they're a little too big; if you tile into thirds, they're a little too small.

A third is fine for watching a video on the side, or working on a terminal. But it's too cramped for code.

Plus if you split it in halves, you end up moving your eyes and/or head a _lot_ to look from the left half to the right half. Remember, you're going to be at this screen for 8+ hours a day. The last thing you want is more mileage on your eyes and neck.

On a regular monitor, half a screen-width is "just right" as Goldilocks would say. So between Ultrawide versus two or three regular monitors, I'd rather go back to regular monitors.

I also thought it would be great for gaming, and to be fair it does deliver. The view in Subnautica is amazing! But the extra FoV and pixels are _expensive_, and one would need to account for that by pouring more money into their GPU. Realistically, I would rather have spent more money on upping my FPS than my FOV.

That said, any movies shot in ultrawide ratios look great on it...
It's not so much that CRTs are faster than LCD.

It's that old consoles (up until the Sega Saturn, Nintendo 64, Sony Playstation era) didn't draw to frame buffers. They didn't have enough RAM to have a real frame buffer.

You configured the graphics chip what you wanted it to draw, and as the scanline scanned across the screen, it outputted the color that was supposed to be output depending on the background/sprite/palette settings. You could change where the sprite is halfway across the scanline, and it might immediately, in the middle of drawing a scanline, output a different color. There was no delays anywhere in the system, only the propagation delay of electricity in wires and transistors. The various HW registers that controlled what and where the sprites were were connected via a small pile of non-clocked digital logic gates to a DAC to the analog output pins of the graphics chip, which was connected to the electron guns directly if you used component video or via a simple, no-latency analog circuit if you had composite video.

These days, you program the graphics card to draw what you want it to draw. Once you've programmed everything for it to draw, it draws that into the backbuffer. Once the current frame has been sent to the display, the backbuffer is swapped with the frontbuffer. When the next frame begin is sent to the display, your changes finally go out across the wire. Depending on the display (see especially motion adapting TV screens) there might be more delay. Then whatever changes you make are finally displayed on the screen.

It's kinda weird. Old video game consoles (up until the SNES and Genesis) had extremely low latency. And that's been gone for 25 years. Not only is it gone, but it will likely be gone forever- we don't even make the technology anymore to show the new generation what it was like. On the one hand, the new technology is "better"; there's no way to do today's advanced graphics without a deep drawing pipeline that outputs to a frame buffer. But it's also somehow worse. We can make it less bad with technology like 144Hz and Freesync, but the old era is gone.
