yeah you're probably right. I don't remember the exact numbers.

Though I was also telling a story and exaggeration tends to be a part of story telling.

It's like saying I saw an alligator as big as a house. Sure, probably didn't happen, but you get the point.

I do not personally know anyone who got it. Friends of friends only.
Only one fatal, and only one seriously ill. Both had other health issues that combined with Covid made it hard.

I am not afraid, but I am cautious. I feel comfortable being out but avoid most indoor situations if I can. I already worked from home prior, and would not accept going back to an office. Specialty now.

Hard to say if it was overkill. But it was at least appropriate, if not too much.
That is an impressive reversal of cause and effect on so many levels.
Way back when forums were a thing and all the kids had obnoxious photoshop "signatures" with their favorite anime characters and video games, I made a dynamic forum signature image that let people type messages.

I used to use variations of that "interactive" signature theme. Random redirects that showed different anime images. IP addresses. (Which was later a service that someone built and provided to everyone.)

I remember using this on Warp Pipe, the GameCube online tunnelling software forums.

Remember these things?

I then made a Nintendo DS match making service for friend codes and advertised it on Mario Kart DS by setting it as my username (I chose the domain "DSmeet.com" to be juuust short enough to fit), then raced backwards the entire game so people would see me. (And it worked!)

I was so happy with myself because I wrote the forum software by hand. (Of course I had to do everything hard-mode back then...)

Here are some examples of the "signatures" I'm talking about, if you've never seen one before:

Really neat interactive project. You sent me on a trip down memory lane. :)
They want me to pay $25 to watch something my tax dollars already paid for?

I'm using hyperbole to make my point. If you take what I said at face value then you'll only see it one way. But my point is still valid.

If you want to criticize something, do it, but don't exact semantic correctness or else no debate will ever more forward.
What's crazy is that these are supposed to be complementary effects. The more apps that are installed on Apple's platform the more money that Apple makes, but apparently that's not enough for them.
Ask HN: What happen if Facebook, Twitter, Uber founder follow the lean startup?
As per title, what would happen if Facebook, Twitter, Uber and other big company founder follow the lean startup method in the early days?

I'm talking about creating a 1 page website to track potential interest. Would they still persist with the idea?

I remember Pinterest founder says that he is glad he did not read the book "The Lean Startup" because it might have convinced him to give up at that point.
Nuclear engineer here. I've read through a good portion of the regulatory submission to the NRC and have a few takeaways that oppose some of the less-well-informed takes in this thread:

- The reactor differs substantially from existing PWRs by encasing the primary in double containment, using natural circulation flow for both normal operation and emergency cooling. There are no pumps needed (or installed) to move coolant through the reactor.

- During normal operation, the primary is entirely contained within the primary containment, and circulates naturally, using the differential temperature and gravity. The steam system can is used to remove heat.

- During an emergency, valves open to admit the reactor coolant into the backup containment. These valves are normally held shut by hydraulics with positive control from electronics-- their failure mode is to open with no other operator action in case of a loss of power. No additional operator action is needed to initiate the emergency cooling flow, which is also a natural circulation loop to the backup containment shell, which then conducts heat to the pool.

- The backup containment shell is designed to withstand hydrogen explosions such as those that occurred at Fukushima, and which was possibly prevented at Three Mile Island by venting (whether there was a hydrogen explosion at TMI-2 is not fully understood).

- There is no mechanism for positive reactivity addition via graphite moderator rod such as in the Chernobyl design. The specific failure mode at Chernobyl is not possible with this reactor.

- The pool is specified as a stainless-steel-lined reinforced concrete and designed to withstand earthquakes. The safety systems are such that no reactor electricity supply is needed to remove heat-- the pool could be filled e.g. from a fire truck, and the immediate decay heat from shutdown does not require any additional heat removal or water addition. So the failure mode we saw at Fukushima (inability to remove decay heat due to loss of electricity) and hydrogen explosion breaching containment does not apply to this design.
I am inclined to agree with you.

Removable batteries for cars has a LOT of bulk and weight to deal with. More a "service interval" like action rather than a daily event. Still handy to have but not nearly so much incentive in the market.

But for motorbikes and scooters, maybe it could work. Especially small city scooter(125cc equivalent) work.

Mind you, I am picturing a dystopian future whereby all the UberEats-like delivery scooter people keep getting their batteries stolen...

As someone who had to study civil engineering as an undergrad a lot of the formula are empirical. 3rd power law might not coorelate with degradation of some road some road while others might exhibit 5th power law. However if I recall correctly the correlation between road wear and axle load was ^4.
How's this any different than the situation with PC parts? You have CPU and GPU manufacturers advertising their products with images of games being played, yet you need to buy half a dozen other parts before you can start gaming.

Wow! That link suggests diabetes doubles your risk, but that high blood pressure actually lowers your risk — but turns out to be only for folks over 70. Super weird!

> We similarly investigated the change in the hypertension hazard ratio (from 1.09 (1.05–1.14) adjusted for age and sex, to 0.89 (0.85–0.93) with all covariates included), and found that diabetes and obesity were principally responsible for this reduction (HR 0.97 (0.92–1.01) adjusted for age, sex, diabetes and obesity). Given the strong association between blood pressure and age we then examined the interaction between these variables; this revealed strong evidence of interaction (P < 0.001), with hypertension associated with a higher risk up to the age of 70 years and a lower risk above the age of 70 (adjusted HRs 3.10 (1.69–5.70), 2.73 (1.96–3.81), 2.07 (1.73–2.47), 1.32 (1.17–1.50), 0.94 (0.86–1.02) and 0.73 (0.69–0.78) for ages 18–39, 40–49, 50–59, 60–69, 70–79 and 80 or over, respectively). The reasons for the inverse association between hypertension and mortality in older individuals are unclear and warrant further investigation, including detailed examination of frailty, comorbidity and drug exposures in this age group.

Thanks for sharing this!
I worked at Best Buy during college, and if you closed you'd have to wait for a manager to unlock the door for you and check your stuff.

If I had to wait more than a minute or so, I'd fill out a time correction for the time I was spent locked in the building. Anytime someone said anything about it, I said if I'm stuck in the building I'm under the company's control, so I should be paid. Eventually managers just started getting there faster when I paged them.

A while later Best Buy was sued for this and lost.
I see that you have a WhatsApp button on your site. What do you use that for?

> You can find housing near your employer. You have a laundry list of personal reasons why that housing is not right for you but the fact remains you chose to have those things and commute instead of living nearby and sacrificing those things.

I think this is only reasonable for jobs that 1) offer enough compensation that the worker has real choice about where they live and 2) both worker and employer expect the worker to live and work in the same place for a long time.

A lot of people are in situations where, rather than them choosing the housing, it's the landlord choosing the tenant, and the tenant has to take what they can get. At one and the same time, they may also be in a situation where, rather than them choosing the employer, it's the employer choosing the worker, and again, the worker takes what they can get. A long commute is not a self-imposed hardship when other people are the primary determiners of where you can live and work.
Some distributions, for example Slackware, don't have it at all.
Woosh...
It's not clear that Tesla's was more than a compliance effort. California had a "fast-fueling" zero-emissions vehicle credit and by enabling battery swaps, Tesla qualified. California changed the incentives and Tesla shut down it's swapping efforts.
Last line shows it is a company issue not individual. Think if some VP in Google recommends reducing free beverages inside company to shitty cola only it will not be accepted by higher ups. If your VP/SVP/CFO are reading only number and not the text line attached to it and its implications it is a culture issue.

No. Cannabis is largely the same stuff it was 35 years ago. Potency is mainly a function of light (cd/m^2) and so it comes down to grower ability.

Also, anyone who says pot used to be weaker back in the day is a cop.
I agree. I personally feel that if you're either unwilling or unable to handle the responses you might receive, then you shouldn't send the email in the first place.
I like APNews and Reuters. Gaurdian and NYTimes are pretty inaccurate, atleast when they report about my country.
In general in any SaaS business, the free plan usually is written off as part of marketing budget.

The idea is that instead of paying Google/Facebook to display adds in the hopes that it will convert people as leads and hopefully down the line as a paying customer, it's usually much much cheaper to provide a free plan instead, which helps out as a "trial" of the final product.

Despite the sales factor, it also helps you get real users early on which can provide invaluable feedback to you, and help you prioritize the parts of the software that has real need versus what you imagine that people would want instead.
If they can do this for one highly complex, many moving parts, integrated product.... do it for phones.

And standardise recycling while you're at it.
1 - thanks, fixed.

2 - the lower court appears to have used the back half of the sentence as describing the components of the first half.

Given the supremes’ reading, the back half doesn’t need to even be there, though I guess if you can conceive of someone working for a company but not subject to the control of the company it would cover some ground. Heaven knows I’ve had employees like that.

It seems a pretty bad deal to spend 2 weeks of your spare time to read about some funky battery, then risk your life fixing it and all that for less than $3,000. Unless you enjoy doing this kind of stuff or really short on money and rich on time.
I don't understand- how were they not being paid? If I had to show up for a 9 to 5 and there was 15 minutes of security screening, I'm showing up at 9 and getting paid for it, not showing up early. Am I OOTL on something here? Were they threatened with termination?

And true - on Linux a X11 frame buffer DISPLAY is required, but I would still consider this to be headless. On other platforms, it should be truly headless. (I could be sorely mistaken)
Name their actual bad behavior then - instead of going with the techlash style vaucous talking point "assertion that something must be done" and then locking up when asked about any details. It is amazing at how propaganda talking points cause humans to fail a Turing test like that by acting indistinguishable from bots.
I know it is not from the book being discussed and that’s why I didn’t say it is. That’s all I can say to this low-effort bad-faith response.
You don’t get to 2T by paying more than you can.

I think if contemporary dialogue about Marx focused more on Capital and less on The Communist Manifesto we'd have less confusion about what Marx was trying to say.

I think it's perfectly okay to agree with his concept of dialectical materialism and also disagree with the statist solution put forth in the manifesto.
Agreed. Perform the ritual and summon the @dang for his opinion perhaps?

> An Israeli startup tried electric cars with battery swapping and failed miserably.

I believe it’s a killer flaw to over-interpret the failure of a novel technology and/or business model.

Yesterday’s miserable failure may be tomorrow’s runaway success given some refinements or the better availability of component technology and/or the readiness of the market.

Over the decades I’ve experienced a few - one of the more memorable examples for me is the Apple Newton. A pretty miserable failure at the time. Fast forward a couple of decades, and most of us are now carrying the logical evolution of that device in our pockets, whether it be made by Apple or others.
> The highest impact things an individual can do, roughly in order are: Don't have children. Don't own a car. Don't fly internationally. Don't eat meat. Don't eat dairy. Don't eat imported food.

Re GP context, even with a low income you might get a lot done in activism / community organising, it might also make you feel more fulfilled as you are fighting to save the planet.
This isn't screening to get in, it's screening to leave. So your shift ends at 5, and they make you wait in a line to get out the door--after you'd already clocked out. And yes, you would be threatened with termination if you didn't wait in the security line
Those SEER 29 units are available but in my short time once selling AC units, most went for the lowest cost unit available. Those cheaper units are not as efficient.

With split units the maximum efficiency attained is in the hands of the customer. Great for customer freedom, but not so great for the environment if the lowest of the low in AC units are available.

Semi-related question: How is fresh air turnover handled in apartments with split AC units?

I'm hopeful it's a startup that sells only the tops of muffins.
To be fair, it's not obvious how to pronounce a way it's spelt. e.g. "record" and "record" are pronounced differently, but have the same spelling.

The poem "Dearest creature in creation" is a fun illustration of the differences between spelling and pronunciation.
2 - But if the circuit court used the back of the sentence to read the first half, time going through security screening would've seemed like a pretty obvious example of time that the employee "is suffered", right?

My understanding was that's not what happened though. See page 7 for the summary of the district court's reasoning.
I'll note for conceptual understanding (by people who aren't patio11, who I'm sure understands this all far better than me) the general point that a gain or loss on the sale of a capital asset is how much money you got from selling it minus how much you "paid". More technically, how much you "paid" is called the basis, and you can do things that adjust the basis as patio11 noted above.

Lacking in raw physical power by comparison, sure. But what health issues do we avoid? Do new health issues arise? Optimality in a complex environment is inevitably a nontrivial trade off; we aren't forced to hunt animals with primitive weapons or contend with widespread famine in the modern world.

most people prescribed opioids never become addicted

I ask b/c it is hard to tell how bad it is just by case counts and deaths. Hard to tell how many of those cases actually lead to illness (most or only a few?). Further hard to tell if people are dying from Covid or with Covid. For that reason I am asking for personal experiences.

While I respect the job that libvirt does (it works — high praise for software), it’s unfortunate that it is also the answer to the question “how can I represent all these virtualized things using XML?”, which was in fashion when libvirt was created.

It’s also a bit misleading to characterize cloud providers as building on libvirt. Libvirt is useful as an mostly hypervisor-agnostic wrapper, which is super useful for enterprise on-prem software, but kinda of the opposite of what big providers need and build for themselves.

I wonder what we will look back on as the XML of today. Everything is schemaless JSON and YAML; surely we’ll look back and wonder WTF everyone was thinking? But alas, it’s probably not a data format at all. Only time will tell.
