This reads like a joke:

By making sustainable living more simple and accessible, Ikea hopes that the initiative will help its customers take a stand against excessive consumption this Black Friday and in the years to come

If you want to solve excessive consumption, you should do that exactly, which means tackling the problem itself and somehow achieving that people reduce the amount of things bought.

Offering recycling on the other hand doesn't really do that - or at least, I am not aware of a mechanism psychological or otherwise which makes consumers buy less because of recycling. And even if it does isn't it still a band-aid solution, and you're still not dealing with the root cause? Moreover, it does seem recycling is a nice way both for IKEA and customers to buy themselves the comforting (but fake) feeling of doing something sustainable while at the same time keeping things going as usual. Or who knows, even increasing 'hey I can recycle this so doesn't matter if I buy more, I'm still doing my thing for the planet'.
It seems inspired by Bretagne to me. Granitic walls, white windows. Nothing too French specific though, if there is ever something French specific about houses. You know, walls, roof, windows and doors.

If shape follows function though, I could not tell what this place function is.

Ideed, a lot of this hate is undeserved: you can buy solid wood products at Ikea, they obviously won't be the cheapest option avaliable.

They are actually really good at detailing all materials used for their product - you know whether you are buying a shelf made of chrome plated steel, galvanised steel, epoxy coated steel, or galvanised and then epoxy coated.

Look at Argos on the other hand - you have no clue of it's paper honycomb, particleboard or wood. You get a cat in a bag.

Is it dry there? While a jackhammer is probably even more effective I find if I wait for rain or soak down soil its much easier to dig where I live (Brisbane/clay soil).
They still have the real wooden furniture though. You don't have to buy the cheap paper ones.

Some use CDN, allow 3rd party CSS and images, that's almost uMatrix defaults:

It's not much of a dictionary if it doesn't even have "big brain". Rather than rag on it I should probably submit it though...as you were.
I disagree. I bought a lot of Ikea things over the past 5-10 years and it ages nicely (except for garden chairs and tables stored outside). Of course I never tried to disassemble it (why would I), but I disagree that quality is shoddy.
> don't want to go to bed, want to paaarty

This is much like the problem I mentioned though. To have consistent good mornings, you need to be going to sleep at exactly the same time every night. You then develop a pattern where you get tired, sleep and wake up at the same time every day. This assumes that you don't have issues which get in the way of this (sleeping disorders, etc.) If you don't want to go to bed, then you're probably not hitting the sack at the same time every day. Pandemic doesn't change this as you could be doing the same browsing HN late at night rather than partying. Also, alcohol will really screw this up as well.
ABS and other plastics inside concrete doesn't sound great for the environment...

Concrete is already pretty bad for the environment - a chunk of it lasts thousands of years, with a pretty alkaline surface meaning many plants don't want to be nearby, but otherwise at least is mostly inert like rock.

By adding polymers, we're probably going to have plasticisers oozing out of these things for thousands of years, turning all the fish into all three genders at once, together with lots of as-yet-unidentified effects of polymer breakdown products.

Windows is not iOS. This isn't a counterpoint.

I might be running long-running computations which take several days. I might be performing time-critical data acquisition which is going to run overnight. Hell, I might even just put the system to sleep expecting to pick up in the morning where I left off.

The computer's sole purpose is to perform tasks for me. The software vendors desire to push updates is of lower priority than my own needs. Deciding that it is acceptable to reboot the computer without any acknowledgement or permission from myself is completely and utterly unacceptable. You are correct that applications could be written to restore their state after a reboot. But it's of critical importance to note that:

1) most applications are not written to do this

2) not all application state is restorable

so to do this on Windows is guaranteed to break important workflows. People use Windows for actual important work, and this unscheduled reboot nonsense makes it impossible to rely on the system to function reliably.

Years ago, Windows Firefox switched to DirectWrite (Chrome-style) font rendering. Due to user complaints, Firefox now uses GDI-style font rendering for a specific list of fonts (Arial,Consolas,Courier New,Microsoft Sans Serif,Segoe UI,Tahoma,Trebuchet MS,Verdana). The font in the screenshot is Arial, being rendered using GDI. And GDI-style font rendering cannot rotate text well (possibly due to the fractional vertical positioning needed).
The Apple II was hardwired to run on 60Hz AC and used a limited character set. Minimal hardware design has its downsides.
In countries that run 50Hz AC games and other real-time software ran slower or had wrong timing. I noticed quite a number of Apple IIs in Germany being used in engineering or with measurement equipment because of the expansion slots. But software had to be modified to cope for the 50Hz.
In my high school we were taught the other way - that the gravity on you in free fall is a real force and centrifugal force going round a corner is not.

In general: be prepared to pay significantly more for natural fibres and fillings.

If you're in the UK, it's harder than that. You either find one of a handful of small companies that are prepared to interpret the law more leniently, or you import from somewhere else in the EU.

These chemicals are also in carpets, and here you're in a worse bind, because the natural fibre alternatives are generally treated against insects and/or impossible to properly clean.

This website (which I'm not sure strikes the most helpful tone) has more on the UK situation: http://www.toxicsofa.com/

Yes, but that's not such a big problem

- MDF/Particulate is more efficient at using the whole tree and more friendly to native forests as opposed to traditional furniture

- Less weight than traditional furniture

- Moving costs > purchase costs.

You want traditional solid furniture? Go to a flea market, used furniture store. It can probably be gotten for cheap as it is a nuisance. It weights a ton, it is hard to move, it is less ergonomic (though I have some beef with some current Ikea stuff) etc

Yes it will last forever, but it does require maintenance (which most of the time can't be done in-situ, so take that heavy thing downstairs, to a shop, etc, back, etc). Not practical

So thanks but no thanks

If one of the hindges in my IKEA kitchen breaks I'm sure I'll be able to replace it, probably at no cost, because it's still being made and probably will still be made in 10 years.

Don't be too sure of that. IKEA has greatly sped up their 'upgrade' cycle lately. Somethings are around unchanged year after year, but more and more things aren't. I've had several cases where I came back to IKEA 2 years later and wanted to expand or replace a thing in a furniture series only to find it discontinued.
I keep waiting for the day they announce discontinuing Android or Chrome OS (Web =~= Chrome), or even both, because it is bound to happen, even if not right away.

You must be very special :). I don’t know why that would. My googling said it could be rheumatoid arthritis:

> Rheumatoid arthritis

Popping joints can also occur with forms of inflammatory arthritis, such as rheumatoid arthritis.

High-pitched popping sounds from joints are more likely to be from inflammatory arthritis. Lower sounds can be from either inflammatory or noninflammatory arthritis, although this may be hard to distinguish

From: https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/325341#what-condit...

...but I don’t think this one symptom could be nearly enough to be evidence of that.

Could just be specific to the joint architecture. Everyone is a little different.
Seconded. It’s not as common in the US to have a trailer with a car (as opposed to a pickup truck), but you can do so much (and replace an expensive truck with a cheap car). Dump runs, green waste, buying appliances or bulky items, cleanups, helping friends, etc.

I’m not even sure my car is rated for towing (the hitch is for a bike rack that I also use) but as long as the load is small (under 1000 lbs) and the road is flat, it’s fine (I do have the lights harness and safety chains). I can’t tow a boat or a horse trailer over the Rockies, but I could take a jet ski to the local lake.

Yes in principle. And then you need to have the means to efficiently defend it against any contestant.

Having provable timestamped prior usage/publication/sale/distribution can be enough.

Having a public registration office stamp is even more solid ground, before you effectively publish anything.
You can buy packs of the screws etc. separately, though, and for a lot of the products you can also buy e.g. shelving, drawers and doors separately if anything breaks. At least I've always been able to do that in the IKEA's near me.
Bias vs. Variance in 13 Charts
I would think of it as closer to an equity investment: they provide some of the capital and share in some of the upside. And they likely provide some of the things equity investors do: strategic advice, domain knowledge, access to their network, all of which may or may not have value.

In some jurisdictions they may need to structure and describe it as a loan. But a non-recourse high-interest variable-payback-schedule loan is really blurring the lines between equity and debt no matter what you call it.
It is my understanding that a one time Commodore executives were the highest paid people in the microcomputer industry. Millions that could have gone in research, marketing, and just support programs vanished into the pockets of higher management even as Commodore was losing it's market share.

It seems so. They played a major role in pioneering the technology but couldn't see or leverage it's potential. The reaction inside Kodak was to try to suppress and ignore the technology and hope it would go away and not affect their existing market. Other companies have successfully tried that but Kodak obviously made the wrong decision and paid the price.

Both are due to the same photoelectric effect according to Wikpedia, however it doesn't seem like xenon flashes are the most suitable thing to erase those chips and I don't think ultraviolet lights would cause the same issues on the Pi that an xenon flash would.

If you're saying you're going to be providing content for website and blogs for others, your own content should be top notch. Currently, I don't get any confidence from your site that you can provide that. There are too many grammatical errors, wrong phrasing and incorrect usage of even basic English.

And like others have mentioned, I'm appalled that this is on the front page.

The problem with this is that you've replaced the code with comments about the code - that's what long method names are, comments. And like comments, they stagnate while the code they reference evolves.

Someone else reading this code in a few years time will need to look into the definitions of each of those method calls in order to understand the code, because names can't be trusted. All the more so with instance methods, as they may access arbitrary instance state to do their work, so that non-local (to the calling point) state may influence meaning.

Single use small methods need to justify their existence to avoid being inlined; they need a smidgen more purpose than a comment, or they hurt readability long term more than they help.

Our culture frames our relationship with our body as a struggle against weakness. This encouraged me to spend years trying to hack a solution that would allow me to eradicate the mid-day slump. I tried sleeping more, exercising, eating this or that way. But always there would be an inevitable dip in alertness at some point.

The many articles on SM Guru taught me that trying to coerce your biology into submission is futile. One should learn to work with the circadian rhythm, not against it. Ride the waves, don't try to plow through them.

Organizing your life that way is hard if you live by a 9-5 schedule. Especially because organizations tend to perpetuate the disrespect of our own biologies.

> best described and understood not as a physical external force

"best described as not a force" is not the same statement as "is not a force".

In physics and mathematics there can be multiple different, complementarity descriptions of the same thing. In fact, if you can reach the same result by two very different routes that seems to make it more robust.

An instance is not a replacement for groups, and it's most definitely not similar to a Reddit community.

What you want is, well, "groups" which is a feature that GNU Social had, and which is eventually going to come to Mastodon and Pleroma.

>...superior overall design of the HW. The VIC-II, SID, and CIA chips.

Chips that didn't exist in 1978. The overall point you're making is that technology from several years later was better.

Or you're trying to hijack the thread into a rant about Apple in the 1980s and later for some reason.

It's an example of few-shot learning and abstraction. Show ducklings similar objects, they will prefer similar objects. Show them different objects, they will follow different objects even a cross categories.

This type of learning based on inductive bias without a huge pretrained network could be huge for required training times and data.
> Physicist here, gravity is a force, just a different one.

Isn't gravity an acceleration, and weight a force? Otherwise gravity would accelerate heavier objects more slowly.
I strongly disagree with this assessment. IKEA does not benefit from non lasting furniture since you can get it swapped if it breaks. I bought a lot of furniture recently when we moved into our flat and a lot of non IKEA furniture we bought had issues very quickly, even expensive one.
No. The vast majority of our updates are just new features & bugfixes of existing features.
They should then return them - fully assembled - to the returns desk where they will be checked and the final value agreed.

Fully assembled? Will they be ok with me disassembling the furniture for transport and then assembling it in front of the return desk?

I was trying to say three things:

1) it still somehow works like other fundamental forces since it derives from asking invariance under a local symmetry group

2) it is different from other forces since the symmetry group associated to it is directly symmetries of space-time (rather than some internal U(1) vector bundle like maxwell or SU(3) nuclear strong force)

3) in weak fields like on earth it mostly reduces to a conservative force driven by a gravitation potential (what you experience while climbing a mountain)

3 bis) like (mostly) anything in physics there is a duality i.e. there are regimes where you can consider it as a force, and there are regimes where you cant.

I think that's incorrect. All the research discussed in-ear headphones that are not noise-cancelling, which lead people to turn up the volume to drown out background noise, which leads to hearing damage.

This is relevant to regular Airpods, but not Airpod Pros which are noise-cancelling. These sort of headphones are actually safer for you hearing, as you can keep the volume lower and still hear well.

Some anecdotal data: I sometimes sleep with a white noise machine (the Dohm from Yogasleep). When I sleep with it, I usually remember my dreams way better (I feel like I had multiple dreams that night compared to almost none usually). I can't really say if I sleep better or not, but it helps me fall asleep quicker if the neighbors are making noise at night.
