I completely agree, and I don't understand what, aside from its historical significance, people can point to that suggest it was a good logo. I think it's a little visually complicated, I don't think the colors harmonize, it's not transcendentally simple like the Apple logo or the Nike swish, the choice of font and arrangement of letters isn't doing anything for me. and I'd like to think that I'm the type of person that would be receptive to rationales for why logos are the way they are. Not that I'm an expert, but I followed conversations on flag design, I've read about the Twitter and Pepsi logo redesigns, the Obama icon, etc.

The best rationale that I can think of is that it looks like an artifact of outdated 90s design, but was produced in the 80s, and so was in a sense ahead of its time, which counts for something, at least.
...please don't feed the trolls. Flag, downvote, and move on.
It still requires specific equipment- it looks like its still a qPCR based test, not an isothermal amplification type test, so it needs a qPCR machine and reagents. It cuts out one step, RNA extraction, which means it trades off some sensitivity for a faster and cheaper result.
Wanting to eat things that are delicious because you enjoy the flavor sounds perfectly rational to me. I'll enjoy the anticipation while I'm getting it, I'll enjoy the experience when I'm eating it, and a piece of pie is not going to stop me from being healthy by itself.

Sure wanting to eat the whole pie might be irrational, but that's seldom the way people think about it. I can't eat a whole pie at once, but I can definitely eat the bite on my fork, add one more slice to my plate, etc.

This mistakes thinking long-term vs thinking marginally, which is the larger point being made.
I have always thought of a service like this one but it wouldn't be sustainable where I live due to lack of access to water if it grows. Centralized farming is arguably better suited given existing micro farms and outdated tooling.

But, this is a neat idea. I hope this grows big.
Yep, it’s just noise in the discussion, and doesn’t add any value other than putting the other person on defense mode.

Proper discussions are difficult though, but i learned that starting out with acknowledging positive things, and most certainly stick to facts, not attacking the people you’re talking with.
The author opted for the paywall because it’s a good deal for authors in many cases. Medium didn’t just throw the paywall over articles.

If someone has a gun and is suicidal there is the chance that they could injure others.

I have seen a lot of suicide by police though which is always very tragic and heart breaking, so you definitely have a point.

But then with every new encounter there is the chance that they actually start shooting.

Also if someone is suicidal they are not too concerned about consequences such as jail because they alrwsdy don't plan to be around to have to face it. So as sad as it is, there is always a high risk of danger to others.

I was friends with a journalist who had to do those "man on the street" interviews where they ask questions like, "How many states are there?" "Is Puerto Rica part of America or its own country" etc. etc.

I asked if it was depressing and she said no: she'd often spend all day trying to find people who could not answer the questions or would say something wacko. In general most people knew the answers or had pretty milquetoast opinions but that doesn't make for a good segment.

I love All Gas No Brakes; I do not take it for a minute to be representative of majority opinions in the US. I think its whole purpose is to reveal certain things which the media incorrectly identifies as being a "significant" or "reasonable" opinion or to reveal the absurdism living under most American life.

For eg. the most recent video on Portland reveals the hollowing out of those protests as they have disassociated from BLM, not because they represent what BLM has become but precisely because they do not.

I have a friend who is in the same position as you. There is a difference between being employed and being a contractor. Since you get them in the capacity as a contracting person, they dont count as capital gains, but as ordinary salary when you excerce them where you obviously pay all your social security charges and much higher tax rate. At least thats the case where i live (europe). It is up to you though to declare it correctly. Its also logical as you have to do the same on your invoiced money as well.

I hope i didn't spoil it for you ;)
Holy cow it feels good to hear that! Thank you!

We have a mixin class that will allocate a subclass with its own array of handles (the handles overload * and -> so they act like pointers). If you have an instance variable you can choose to give it a different allocator, where that instance variable of object with handle `n` is the nth object in the new area. Then your instance method `barf& foo();`, instead of getting the instance variable `barf m_foo` Instead does some inlined arithmetic and gives the caller a reference to the object.
That NeXT logo looks awkward and amateurish. I could have done a better job making a next logo and I have never designed a logo in my life.

> The cost of switching phone platforms is massive compared to the app market. Phones can cost over $1000, apps are commonly $1, a difference of a thousand fold. And that's only the hardware cost. Then you have issues if there is any other app you need which is only available on one platform, or if you make use of Google or Apple services that are only well supported or supported at all on one platform and would incur substantial switching costs to move to the other.

Ultimately that is up to the courts to decide. But I will point out that in a previous case involving IBM S/390 computer systems, the court decided this requirement was not met, despite the hardware expense and associated software compatibility limitations.

> Which would only apply if there was a viable competing product without those restrictions. But there are only two viable phone platforms and Apple's has a strict monopoly while Google's has a de facto one where Google Play has >90% share of the Android market, and they both impose similar restrictions, so a viable option without those restrictions isn't there.

I'm not sure which specific restrictions you are referring to here. If the complaint against Apple is that you cannot install apps from 3rd party sources on your iPhone, there is a competing product that allows you to do that on the market.

> Furthermore, the customer for app distribution is at least as much the developer as the user -- they're the one who pays the app store's fee, right? -- and they don't get to choose which phone their customers have already bought.

This is not relevant for antitrust purposes. Developers are not entitled to demand a specific company give them access to that company's users.
I don’t follow Quillette avidly by any means, but when they crop up here the articles tend to be well argued and well-supported. In this case, the author presents a truckload of verifiable facts—if he’s lying, it would be easy to demonstrate, and it would rightly destroy his (and Quillette’s) credibility. I have no doubt that he’s “spinning” the story a bit, but provided he’s not overtly lying about the verifiable evidence then it’s already damning of the university.

Further, there are lots of publications which have egregiously lied about verifiable events and which we still welcome on HN, but I won’t get into that since it would probably only lead to comments which would run afoul of the guidelines.
I have the same reaction. I think that as consumers of media, we hear about Next through the history of Steve Jobs' career and the history of Apple, and media about those subjects is all over the place. I've never seen it out in the world, or encountered some salient cultural reference it was attached to, or saw it in anything outside of its status as a chapter in the history of Apple.
I'll admit it — I couldn't read the article on Medium. So I found it on dev.to:

What happened?

The power grid must not only have sufficient generation capacity to match load, it needs some extra - called spinning or operating reserve. This ensures security - the characteristic where the grid is resilient to any single failure. Because load is not normally controlled (i.e. people can turn loads on and off without permission from the system operator), the system needs to be able to respond to that as well as contingencies like a line or generator trip.

Imagine, for instance, that you're fully maxed out on generation with no reserve, and one generator trips offline. You will now need to trigger emergency load shedding very, very rapidly (within seconds) to arrest frequency decline and a cascading, wide-area outage.

So you carry a margin of operating or spinning reserve, essentially generation that is available to very quickly ramp its output up or down in response to system conditions. When that margin starts to get eaten away by lack of capacity, you can do controlled load shedding, where you remove loads that have been already marked as low-priority to get some of your margin back. By doing this, you can avoid uncontrolled load shedding, which would have worse consequences.

CAISO Grid STAGE 3 System Emergency Notice [202002424]

The California ISO hereby issues a CAISO Grid Stage 3 System Emergency Notice
effective 08/14/2020 at 18:36 through 08/14/2020 at 23:59.

Reason:
California ISO is Reserve Deficient.

Refer to the ISO System Emergency Fact Sheet (http://www.caiso.com/Documents/SystemAlertsWarningsandEmerge...)
for additional detail.

The ISO requires load curtailments, use of Interruptible Loads* and
requests Out-of-Market (OOM) and Emergency Energy from all available sources.
Maximum conservation efforts are requested.

Spinning Reserves have depleted or are forecast to deplete to levels below
minimum requirements. Load curtailments are required and will continue until
such time as sufficient Spinning Reserves are available.

Monitor system conditions on Today's Outlook (http://www.caiso.com/TodaysOutlook/Pages/default.aspx)
and check with local electric utilities for additional information.

Sure, I give him kudos for showing real activists in the protest videos alongside the usual AGNB characters.
Major problem is support and management. Hosting can be automated to a degree and has been by many projects. Some open source software charge one time setup fee for their automated DO/scaleway/cloud install button.
Some quick additional info, since I wasn’t familiar with all the context. I am glad I looked deeper, I am ashamed to admit I assumed some wrongdoing given he had resigned!

I don't think WebSQL is the best example. Chromium uses SQLite for other things (bookmarks, history, etc.) and WebSQL is mostly a JS API for interfacing with SQLite so I'm guessing the overhead isn't huge (and SQLite is pretty small to begin with).
I don't need to reread my own comment. I wrote it. You have to decide: is this relationship professional or not. There are certain conditions that preclude the former. The second biggest mistake I've made professionally was not understanding this (note: I was not the person with power) and it cost me deep into 6 figures. So kindly take your trivializing nonsense of what I'm saying elsewhere.

You can have a professional relationship, or you can have a romantic one. One often starts before the other, and that's ok so long as consent and power are balanced through that progression. But blending of the two under ambiguous circumstances enables horrific abuse, and I won't pretend otherwise just because people fantasize themselves as the boss that gets to date everyone attractive in their office.
Really? An adult can’t handle random people saying mean things about them on the internet?
You’re not jealous of developers. You’re jealous of celebrities. Sorry
Maybe you could point out how this article is click-bait and stretched out. Fairly ridiculous to ban an entire popular domain because it doesn't meet your standard on average. We should be judging articles on their merits.
Not necessarily. We'll could also raise taxes to make it work... or reduce benefits.
I think it’s not productive calling each other confused, because I think what’s going on is that you’re both approaching this from a different perspective.
That is if you allow dynamic code loading or such dom manipulation to allow it. But for such cases, you should have already started the fallback engine the first time you scanned through the website code.

But fair enough. In the wild you would have to use fallback pretty much always.

Still, webassembly-able gecko would be handy and would allow for experimenting with above mentioned streamlined 'web standard'. Web author could simply sign it's compliance to the 'standard' using meta tags, http headers or some other way.
I agree. Fortunately, now that most are working from home, pretending is much easier.
Imagine a life where you had to strenuously hunt for 30 hours a week and then partied for the rest of the time. It’d result in both a high level of physical fitness and be pretty pleasant. I don’t know if that’s an accurate description of their life, but it shows that the two terms aren’t contradictory.
I really disagree, the piece is mostly a list of tangible data. One could cut out any supported statement and it would be almost the same length. The authors seem to me to be avoiding any sort of relative arguments as much as possible. Your response by contrast is dominated by catastrophic thinking

40 years ago, most of Eastern Europe was under North Korea-like Communism, China was still enforcing the one-child policy, and South Africa was still under Apartheid. Not to mention the looming fear of nuclear annihilation. I’m not sure how 40 years ago, we were better off.

But I’ll look into Thomas Piketty.
>Research in my own lab and others suggests that, if you want to improve your self-control, what you should do instead is focus on proactively reducing, rather than reactively overpowering temptation. Fortunately, there are several ways and opportunities to do this.

Am I the only one who has, many times, encountered people who say "I don't buy junk food because if I do I'll end up eating it?"

This is one of my gripes with psychology articles/self help books. So so many topics are simple 'revelations' that many of us have figured out by the time we are 20. Can't eat a cookie if you don't have any cookies.

I've read some good psychology books ("Thinking fast and slow" was great), but most of the others I've read I could have have read the one page summary and realized I don't need to read it.

The grid is slowly being decentralized using grid-agnostic solar and storage. (I.e., solar power that stays going even when the grid drops off.) A computer network -- not a large infrastructure project -- is likely to be the solution.

I don't think New Relic does retroactive charging. I think we were using more New Relic resources than we had paid for by accident and nothing really came out of it. We just fixed the issue and continued with the plan.
This is most definitely not true where I live. You’re definitely not allowed to put someone’s picture online without their consent, and absolutely not allowed to build a database out of that based on facial recognition.

Just to pick on your response to 2: there’s plenty more complex interfaces than Func possible that have single-use implementations. The fact that they’re rare in C# is precisely because they’re too painful.to the extent that C# developers will instinctively attack the problem a different way to avoid the painful syntax.
The thing is, when switching from an omnivore diet to a plant-based diet, meat is not replaced by tomatoes and broccolis (or vegetables in general), it is replaced by tofu, beans, lentils, rice, nuts, etc. which are all at the bottom of the list your linked.
What are “our best data”? The #metoo era only began in the last couple of years, and I’m unaware of a rigorous academic effort to investigate its victims to the degree that we have investigated female sexual victimization over the last several decades. And this makes sense given the portrait of fear on university campuses—no one wants to look like they’re not “part of the team” lest they be subject to their own Ordeal. We do have a number of very convincing cases of excesses which certainly persuade me about the need for further investigation.

> Your argument boils down to "people pointing out the sexism are the REAL sexists" which as you might expect, is not convincing to the rest of us.

Innocent men by definition aren’t sexists, and my point was that arguments to treat them as such (based on the idea that innocent men are responsible for the violations of guilty men by virtue of their common gender) is patently sexism. Maybe that’s not the point you were making; I just wanted to head that off in advance because frankly I’m sick of these disgusting lines of argumentation.

Paradoxically, publishing this blog post will no doubt result in the window knob being fixed and a new "no unauthorized modifications to HVAC" policy being out in place.
I'm not a reductionist so I don't conflate the weather and climate, but I'd consider hurricanes, volcanoes, tropical storms, and fluid flows in the ocean to be part of climate, not weather.

Hurricanes have a huge impact on animal populations, volcanoes have a huge impact on atmosphere and temperature of the core, and tropical storms are still big enough that the sum total of them is not negligible at the climate scale.

Chaotic systems sometimes don't have higher level descriptions--sufficiently chaotic systems can't be predicted at any level, and you can actually measure this. Look into the mathematical theory of chaos.
What designs? If you're referring to the images in the article, most of those appear to be part of a presentation that discusses the merits and properties of different fonts and stylizations, presumably to illustrate a set of ideas that culminates in the reveal of Next logo.

As I understand it, the problem was evening demand, not daytime and that's probably also the real reason why all the empty office buildings aren't helping - most people would probably be out of the office and back home by them. If anything, residential solar makes this problem worse both by making non-solar generation less financially viable and causing a sharp increase in demand for it during the evening as the sun goes down.
