All EM radiation carries energy and the higher the frequency more energy is carried by each photon but that doesn't mean that the energy is transferred as heat (i.e. increase in temperature of the body).

The reason why IR is felt as heat is because it has the right wavelength to excite atoms and molecules unions into resonance.

> IR light is not ionizing, but we associate it with heat because the black-body radiation of things we generally interact with (humans and stovetops, for example) is mostly in the infrared spectrum.

In particular, this relationship is backwards. We don't associate heat with those objects because they happen to emit in the infrared. Since they emit in the infrared, they are good at heating (i.e. exciting molecular unions into vibration modes that make most of the energy stored). This is related to the fact that most of the mass of an object is associated to the nucleus, instead of the electrons. If it was the contrary, exciting electrons into higher energy states would be a better way to transfer energy into an object.

On the other hand, UV protection is good to prevent high energy being transferred into electrons which then get excited into higher energy states messing up electronic bonds and potentially our DNA.
I really love mancala. It’s one of my favorite games. However, I hate that most sets I’ve seen come with 3 stones or 4 stones per slot — for competitive play to be effective I’ve found starting with 7 stones per slot to make the game more “fair” between the person who goes 1st and the person who moves second.
Ugh, imgur does this now too. The one time I don't want to be logged in is if I'm looking at something nsfw...
They really hurt their own monetisation by making the subscriptions too expensive though. They more than doubled in price recently. It's not worth the price anymore for me.
That is possible, but bribing one individual is very risky for a brand. Mainly because, there are only so many things an individual can influence, and once his reputation is tarnished, the brands reputation is tarnished. So the risk is much higher than, say hiring a company to spam reviews.
I personally think politicians first and foremost need to try and restore trust in them by the people. I think the biggest reason for people to not vote these days is that they have already heard and seen confirmation for far too many lies.
I used to go to every single election. Not anymore. It feels like a waste of my time. Not because the process is so complicated. No. It is a waste because we get lied to constantly anyway.
> acquired founders need to stop making them and we need to stop believing them

Not just acquired founders. In my opinion we should stop so readily believing in promises by founders, start ups, corporations, celebrities, politicians, etc. unless there is a strong track record keeping them and/or other reasons to believe the promise can and will be kept.

Getting people to (pre-/re-)purchase something should require to build up trust, not just grand visions and good marketing.
By the same logic it’s good to have your company located in an armored bunker underground on the off chance that someone nukes the city you are in.

I realize the chances are a bit different, but it illustrates the point.
The whole problem seems to pivot around blame.

Having only ever worked at a small company, I've enjoyed the absence of fear of blame. When the hierarchy is so minimal risk-vs-benefit seems to be easy to communicate and digest between both ends of the spectrum and accept with shared responsibility. I understand this doesn't automatically scale, but it feels unsatisfying to assume blame is as inevitable part of growth.

Can anyone think of a way to avoid it? Is it a necessary side effect of larger layered hierarchy or is it something else?
Yeah but someone got a big raise because they're now seeing 4x as many clicks as before...

Until we start mining other planets, pretty much all space missions are going to have a huge costs on precious resources either directly or indirectly. We are basically hitting the point of no return if we haven't already passed it when it comes to destroying the natural balance on our own planet, and when things get bad here on Earth, leaving to civilize space or another planet will be reserved for affluent. Right now we are basically just helping them accomplish that goal for them to one day say... "So long suckers!"
Quora is even worse for this.

For years they’ve had an extremely hostile user experience on their mobile site — you scroll half way through a long answer, and get interrupted with a modal prompting you to finish reading it in the app.

But the modal cannot be dismissed — there is no way to close it. You can’t scroll the page, it persists on reload... rendering the site utterly unusable.

I'm probably just fantasizing, but it would be great the Rust Foundation took over Servo and they built it into its own browser separate from Firefox. ("Separate" as in "different stewardship". I don't mind if Firefox and Servo share some code in the form of library crates.) If there was someplace I could donate to support both Rust and a freedom-respecting web browser, that place would get a whole bunch of money from me.
A fun one I experienced was awful VOIP call quality due to a policy requirement that all company network traffic route through the headquarters office, and all the latency that introduced for anyone who worked from one of the (many) other offices.

Then one day the director of sales had a rather important call with a major prospective client while they happened to be visiting one of the regional offices. We were enjoying absolutely stellar-sounding phone calls within 48 hours.
Side issue, but I have cause to mention Chesterton's Fence so often that it's become a real frustration that there is no Wikipedia article about it — only this essay about why Wikipedia contributors should honour it. I wish there was an actual article I could point to when I want people to know about it.

(Why don't I just make one? I have basically given up on making substantial contributons to Wikipedia since the Deletion Police took over the asylum. There's a 90% probability that if I did spend a couple of hours writing a good article, someone would come along within a week and spend a couple seconds deleting it. It's out of control.)
We wouldn't even be having this discussion if Palmer Luckey hadn't persevered and created the Oculus.

There are so many radio shows that explore the exponentially growing music-verse out there.

Bandcamp is a great place for music artists. Here a huge chunk of the profits go direct to the artists, so it's got every possible kind of music from nobody you've ever heard of.

They have a weekly radio show called The Bandcamp Weekly. It's super varied but they're friendly and they often do themes each week. Give it a go
I understand, but they're also pushing many users away with this behaviour.

It's what I like about HN.. It feels like they don't even care how much users 'engage'. I bet they don't even run a report on it. They just let us do our thing here and not worry about it. As a user this is a much nicer experience.
I suggest searching for documentaries on your favorite genre, whether it be Jazz, Rock, or Hip Hop. Jot down the artists/labels that pique your interest. Research those groups online.

In parallel, learning music is best when you're having fun. You should start with your favorite artists and dive deeper into their discography. Research the label they were on (fruitful if the label is independent). Look into their contemporaries. Who were those artists? Maybe they were associated with a larger movement/scene, and so on.

Finally, listen to more music! Everything (almost) is on Youtube or Spotify. Make it a point to listen to music everyday.

It’s interesting to compare Quora and Stack Overflow. They both are about questions and answers, and they both set out to use interaction design and aggressive curation to create a high-quality Q&A resource.

reddit’s old theme is great. And I love how different subreddits are able to customize the look.

It falls apart a bit on phones, unfortunately.
Try out i.reddit.com alternately as it's the old mobile-friendly version.

Fair warning that you still get kicked into the new mobile version when selecting some content links.

What is it that makes it less interesting to you - what about graphical arts, sculpture, architecture?

Given your list I would suppose maybe you like things with a complex narrative, or as is the case for me - music with clever/complex lyrics.

So you could look for music that has a complex narrative, but obviously that helps you find music best suited for you and not helping you build an understanding of what is appealing about music or what makes for 'good' music artistically speaking.

Although maybe you can jump from music appealing to you to a broader feeling for music in general.

Is there some music or musicians you find more appealing than others?
Thank you for trying it out. Plenary has monthly, quarterly and yearly subscription options and even has a lifetime purchase plan. That is the way support the development of the app so that it doesn't have to rely on ads and works without any intrusions to users. That is the point of this post, right?

+1 for RYM. It's one of the greatest curated resources with a ton of ratings and metadata.

I think a good start for you might just be going to RYM Charts (https://rateyourmusic.com/customchart) and selecting a genre. You'll find the top rated albums, and can further filter by the decade. That's my #1 music discovery source.
It's probably a consequence of them using the history api + lazy programming, rather than anything nefarious.
What is this Wikipedia "Deletion Police"? I haven't heard of quality content being consistently deleted.

Maybe load up some rolling stone's(the magazine) lists on your favorite streaming service, and read the Wikipedia entry for each band/song that interests you. They aren't in chronological order, but they have top 500 lists for the most important albums, songs and musicians.
Can't they just evaporate off the water and use the remaining salt to treat roads in the winter?
Fortunately Apple can't prevent PWAs from telling users that Apple is the reason they can't have good things. I'm disappointed however in Apple also blocking PWA's from the App Store.

I think there's too much music out there to become a "buff" of every genre. You can certainly learn a little about every genre, but otherwise, I think you should pick a genre and focus on that.

My recommendation would be to look at the most famous/most popular musicians in the respective genre you're studying, and then follow the links from there. Learn who influenced them, and who they influenced. And then follow the organic web from there.

I’m afraid and won't be surprised if Reddit goes the Twitter route and kills (or somehow cripples) third party apps like Apollo. If Reddit is this adamant on destroying the user experience of their platform, killing off great apps like Apollo seems to fit that strategy.
Kinda strange.

Emacs is so inherently keyboard-focused that I fail to see the point of this... nor the need for it?!
It's easy to blame web developers. All too often they are using overengineered hacks to implement bizarre requirements from UX and product managers who don't and won't understand the web but absolutely must see their vision take form (reminds me of the Mad Men quote: "we employ more frustrated artists than the Third Reich").
Yep, I'm not on reddit anymore. Ciao, Reddit. Twitter is way better.

End-to-End Testing Tutorial
I misread your post, sorry.

The point I was trying to (poorly) make, is that if 40% of posts are asymptomatic, the median case is probably extremely mild (unless as soon as people have symptoms they are very serious, which seems unlikely).

Well, good. Being spammed with notifications is the primary reason I refuse to install many apps. Sure, you can turn it off but they really make you hunt around for it.
To be fair, traveling with a baby makes you much less likely to attack a plane.

This exception makes the TSA's policy more pragmatic and reasonable.

The harm of denying a baby milk or formula is worse than the risk of terrorism in this case. Not to mention is that it lowers the incidence of crying babies on flight.

The same logic could be applied to hand sanitizer restrictions in a global pandemic. Allowing people to carry a larger size could save more lives than the risk it poses. This is especially true when shortages can make it difficult to buy a travel size.

These are great starters, I would recommend going through and finding out what periods and artists speak to you and then joining Spotify and using their auto generated playlists to dig deeper. They do an AMAZING job if you <3 the songs you really get into. My personal taste is really scattered, gen z pop, old school country, punk, hip hop, 90's hi-nrg and house, disco, and they somehow consistently find new music that speaks to me.
> Employees just follow the existing rules/laws because it’s not their job challenging them, and decision makers are mostly concerned on shifting away blame from them

>but the efficiency metric is non existent in public administrations.

And both of these have very insidious downstream consequences.

The nature of government employment selects over time for people who are dedicated to process for process sake so of course there's nobody around who asks "why?" and nobody around to say "the tradeoff is worth it let's do X instead".

Politicians and high level bureaucrats control the resource streams. The less efficient the larger the resource streams and the more power they have. Not only is there no incentive for efficacy at a high level because "screw it's other people's money" but there is an incentive for inefficiency because it lets the people calling the shots preserve/grow their power.

The only time you get a push for efficiency is deep in the bowels of a silo/fiefdom where the teams are small and the organizational unit's resource inputs are static but their performance metrics are pegged to outputs. Of course this sentiment dies on the way up the org chart because resources are mostly a "use it or lose it" type thing.

One effect is that this drives away exactly the kind of results driven people who should be working as public service.

Another effect is that it cements the status quo such that it is basically impossible for a government or government unit to pivot from "being inefficient and generally sucking" to "decent use of taxpayer's money" without an existential crisis for the organization. Basically nobody says "hey, WTF are we doing" while the organization is becoming an ineffective graft ridden mess. Everyone just keeps their head down until a shock forces them to actually solve the problems.

This is why you never see government organizations in rich places like NYC, Boston or DC clean themselves up but you occasionally see government organizations in poorer places like Buffalo or Newark clean house because as painful as making do with less and cleaning your own house is to those kinds of organizations the alternative of having politicians do it for you to win brownie points is worse. The rich places can just paper over their organizational problems with money. The poorer places have to stay on task or clean house much more frequently if they don't because there's less money to float along on.

BigCos have some similarly bad feedback loops but it's much more common to see them lop off an org that's dead weight because when the metric the people at the top use is profit you get much more incentives value driven behavior.
There's no need but if someone straight-up registers your name before you do, you will have an expensive fight compared to the cost of registration.

Happened to my last company, the new company didn't want to budge and it must have cost £20k to rectify compared to the few hundred it would have cost if we'd registered it ourselves when we started trading 10 years earlier.

Proving we'd got unregistered rights to the mark was possible because of our marketing and lots of nice letters from customers. But it was perfectly possible that we could have lost it.

You know where your customers are - register there, and early!
No. Things are fucked in the US, and made worse by people dining-in at restaurants as if their actions didn't have consequences.

Their recommended notifications on Android are so spammy that they should be banned from the Play Store unless they change the defaults.
That isn't the case though. Gm and Google both tell you that their incidents per mile (I think they use 100000 miles or something) is constant, because as they get better they test in harder situations. A automatic car on a desert freeway (no traffic) is easy compared to freezing rain during the afternoon rush hour in Minneapolis. (afternoon implying most people were out and so the decision to stay home isn't available). That is just on hard situation that comes to mind, I think those doing self driving cars know of others.
I also can’t stand using apps because links work better in an actual web browser.

When I click on a link in an app, I have no clue what is about to happen. It could open my web browser, it could open some shitty in-app browser or it could show content in the app.

Also, having apps installed means I have to deal with the absolutely horrendous UX of being on the web, clicking a link and then having the app version of YouTube/Zillow/whatever forcefully opened instead of normal navigation.

So, I uninstalled all of those. I hope Apple gives me a setting to turn that fucking piece of shit feature off someday.
Perhaps we could measure it by the amount of gravity bleed through.
Very nice to see work in this area. Erlang is a very interesting platform for building robust systems.
Agreed. No, I don't want your app. Why can't I just use the browser? I can't even view pictures anymore in some threads without the app. HN is so nice with its simplicity.
I’ve found success using page.goto(url, { waitUntil: “networkidle2” }).

The default waitUntil fires when the onload event is triggered, networkidle2 waits for less than 2 network requests in the past 500ms, and networkidle0 waits for no requests in the past 500ms. This + waitForSelector should help you out.

Anecdotally, it happened to me once that someone forgot to leave the (only) key to a site laboratory, I had him "transmit" via fax the key, then after rummaging in a closet full of old keys I found one that had enough material, filed it down with the high-tech tools I had available (the file of a Leatherman multi-tool) and opened the lock, I cannot see how the same cannot be easily done with a 2-D print of the profile of a "virtually generated" key instead of the fax.
