> The evidence that we were shown as kids should not be considered rigorous or acceptable in science - mixing invisible gases in an open container that allows air in, is not rigorous.

Well, have you seen other gas-gas reactions produce water vapor? Because most of the ones I've seen, especially exothermic ones, don't produce any vapor at all. So when a hydrogen-oxygen reaction produces vapor, why else would it be if not because they reacted and produced a gas that quickly condensed on the glass? (true, I never personally tasted that condensed liquid to confirm it is water and not some other liquid).

> I too believe that computers work. :) I don't dispute that we are able to use things to create some excellent technology. What I dispute that we know what we're doing.

Well, how could we reliably make them work if we don't know what we're doing? This is why I don't need to take so many things on faith: I see people reliably make them work. If I saw a faith healer or church reliably cure people, by the millions every day, I wouldn't even need faith: it would be obvious that they know something real.

> We cannot see evolution occurring. (Feel free to point me to an article or something that you think shows this.)

First of all, as I explained earlier, I don't need to literally see it happen to understand how it must have. The present derives from the past, and if you simply extend how we see genetics working today into the past (or future), evolution is in fact the only possible result (assuming no magical forces are acting). Your way of thinking is a dead end for any process that lies outside the limited human senses: if something is smaller than what we can see, or further away than we can see, or takes longer than a single human lifetime, it would be completely out of the reach of science. I do not accept this view of the world, and I don't see any reason why theories couldn't be extrapolated beyond what is immediately visible.

If I understand what my eyes see, and I understand how a lense works, and I understand how an electron microscope works, then I can trust that the image the electron microscope is drawing of a microbe is true, even though if I take away the microscope I can only see a mess. The same works if you apply this reasoning backwards in time, even over millions of years.

By the way, there have apparently been quite a few experiments of artificially producing new species from a single colony - there's a list here:

The crisis of reproducibility is a tangent, and it only affects a limited set of fields, it is not a crisis in all of science. It is also caused by all sorts of economic incentives (we live under capitalism, unfortunately) pushing scientists to avoid revealing too much data - it is not necessarily a crisis of bad science (though there are fields that should barely be regarded as scientific at all - nutrition "science" being a prime example).

While Wavlink bears a lot of responsibility for these problems, I bet this is a Mediatek or Ralink board support package that is security swiss cheese.
In the United States, cobblestones were manufactured large blocks that were impermeable and very durable. Streets were paved with them.
I did a tour of an 80 MW coal power plant during my electrical engineering coursework. You're not going to fit an 184 MW heat exchanger in the garage the car gets parked in, much less the battery pack under the floor.

Also, as the article suggests, carbon monoxide is bad, and obviously you need oxygen to breathe, but firefighters have equipment that can help with that. However, when you've directed all the energy in the battery into a couple hundred pounds of water, the resulting 100C steam will instantly give 3rd degree burns to anyone in the airspace within a 10m cube around the vehicle.

Vehicles hold a shocking amount of energy to be able to transport thousands of pounds of steel for hundreds of miles. Because burning gasoline is a visceral experience, no one suggests that at arrival to an ICE car you should vaporize and exploding 20 gallons of fuel. Instead, you must prevent the fuel from burning.

Amazing stuff! How did you do the scaling back in 2004? I can only picture doing this with a modern JS stack, but I suppose I'm a spoiled web developer in that way.
That's a shame. Those could have been useful for adjusting volume, brightness, zoom/scale, h/v scroll, etc.
It wouldn't take too much effort to do. Just lock down the existing API and require all requests to be signed with a safetynet/recaptcha/devicecheck token. On the other hand they've been making various changes on the new mobile app, adding various a/b tests that try to encourage account creation.

I do recreationally partake of psilocybin (for "spiritual" and simply entertainment reasons), and this was something that I personally have noticed: I no longer have migraines. Previously I suffered extreme migraines that would easily knock me out for a day, I couldn't take any medicine or I would vomit it back up, etc. I haven't since my first "shroom" experience.

The weird thing is that I get the pre-migraine experience at the same rate, it just isn't followed by a migraine. Previously I'd get the vision distortions that would get worse to the point that I could barely see, and then an extreme migraine would start. I still get those vision distortions (every week or two) just as frequently, but they're followed by just returning to normal.

This is obviously single case anecdotal, could be purely coincidental, and I don't encourage anyone to base any action on it, but it was something I literally had a discussion about this weekend.
Apple products are targeted at developers as well, to developers that care about Apple eco-system, not those that use macbooks to actually do work for GNU/Linux.

Thanks. I agree that heroku is an amazing service, a really impressive product.

But once you are using a single performance dyno, you are unlikely looking at a bill that's only "couple hundred dollars a month".

Thanks for confirming you use performance dynos for user-facing stuff -- I thought I was going insane discovering that it didn't look like standard dynos were suitable for that for me -- is "everyone else" using them though? The heroku docs imply they are indeed... standard (that's the name), and the performance dynos are for unusual performance needs.

Which is not what it was looking like to me.

Based on my current investigations, I agree being prepared to spend $1000/month is a better back of the napkin to-start-with estimate.

Which, sure, is quite possibly still a value compared to the number of hours you'd be spending setting up and maintaning something else. Quite possibly! But it's not "a couple hundred dollars a month".
A very nice surprise. It's been known anecdotally for many years! (https://erowid.org/plants/mushrooms/mushrooms_medical1.shtml)

Science sure moves slowly when there's artificial barriers in place, like the object of your research being a Schedule I substance.
The article does say that 31% of those surveyed didn't have the training, so presumably, the majority of departments do have the training. Given the number of poor rural volunteer departments in the US that struggle with funding, I would assume that 31% probably overlaps with the set that are struggling in general.

"Only about 5% of our customers use that much."

If only 5% uses 1.2TB each month, why would Comcast want to impose the cap to everyone?

Comcast has already made enough money and this move has nothing but against social good.

I am an international student from China in US. If you ever go to China, you will find how affordable Internet (or Phone Data plans) is. And it is even affordable in sparsely-populated rural areas, unlike the US rural areas I've heard of.

These big private companies are just lagging US behind and the country cannot do anything with it.
Nevermind, that is the trend in HN that equates developers with writing UNIX cli applications and daemons.
So.. this basically means swapping your CPU gets rid of anything you stored on its "TPM", or can it be backuped up to the TPM of your Mainboard and restored to the new one you install?
> 1. New tractors get much better fuel mileage

Some do, some don't but this is mostly true (which is why the farmer in question is re-powering the old tractors).

> 2. New tractors have technology that can go a long way to making the payments on them

This is pretty flatly false. Whatever monitors, guidance, and steering technology (which is all I can think of that you might be referring to) is available for these tractors as well.

> 3. New tractors have a lot more operator comfort and if you're putting in eighteen hour days that's important.

This is also addressed with new seats and making the cab air-ride in the article.

But then these upgrades are why I think this in particular is a false economy, he is spending a lot on these old tractors!

Gently used is still pretty pricey, newer year but high-hour tractors are where I always feel the sweet spot is, a 9,000 hour 2005 model tractor is pretty cheap and is also pretty good in most cases.

I'm talking about internal code that is not exposed to the user. There are loads of situations where something will fluctuate in size rapidly, you dont know beforehand to what extent, and allocating memory every-time it changes is very inefficient. In these cases speculatively over allocating is a very good strategy.
> I advocated repeatedly to Steve that an Apple phone could be really great. Every time there was a rumor that Apple might be working on a phone, I would refine the pitch to him. Once he called me at home on a Sunday (How did he even get my number?) to ask a question, and I enthused at length about the possibilities.

Imagine knowing in the era of J2ME that there will be the iPhone (and iPad) and phoning Carmack to get an 2 hour impromptu speech about mobile phones. I bet Jobs got a kick out of that.
Are you finding it mature enough to "just work"? The reason someone pays for something like heroku is they put a high value on "just work", I am really not looking to be troubleshooting weird bugs or figuring out weird edge cases in my ops, that's the whole point here!

I'll take a look, it definitely looks interesting, thanks!
> At least after the CPC and Mao came into power in China, they finally eliminated the opium scourge, and kicked out the British dickheads from their country (except for Hong Kong).

And then, he killed, and starved 60m of his countrymen.

I feel, you are under influence of Maoism.
If my experience with multiple different "oh, sorry, no flight tonight" is anything to go by the ground staff are always completely unprepared for the process of putting people into a hotel. It's as if nothing like this has happened before in the entire history of the airline.

You'll have a massive queue with some harried staff member hastily scanning the 3-ring binder seemingly trying to reinvent the process from first principles. The whole process seems to kick off when the first passenger hits the counter, too - not, say, when the airline first knows that this situation is inevitable.

I think they are always hoping for a miraculous save ("It turns out half the passengers have old friends in the city they want to overnight with, and the other half got on to other flights with 10 minutes notice, hooray!").

Guix has never insisted on 'curl | bash'. At first there were no instructions on how to use the shell installer script (perhaps you translated to 'curl | bash'?), but now the manual explicitly recommends to wget and chmod it:

I think you'll find that things are much more up to date nowadays. You still need root access for the guix-daemon though.

No. And the "smarter" the student, the less sympathetic I am. Certainly, those who were in the 90%th percentile of SAT scores shouldn't get "forgiveness". They should have been smart enough to know how loans work.
The original one uses a red ribbon throughout the zoom; is there a reason why that helps visually maintain the illusion? Is it just a stylistic choice?

The second one doesn't contain a static object that travels with the camera in the frame at all times, and the zooming in effect is still visually compelling, so it doesn't seem necessary. But I really liked the constant ribbon in the first.

Also, who did the art for them? Was it a team effort or just a single person?

[EDIT] It looks like Arcadia also has a sort of ribbon effect, though it is more subtle than the single, same color ribbon in the original.
Even for non-technical users, the MikroTik routers ship set up how a consumer would expect it I think.

The configuration after a reset/as shipped (at least on all my old models) is a local network at 192.168.88.0/24 with NAT and DHCP set up, wireless enabled and bridged to lan, etc.

Only time it's going to get a bit dicey is if they want to customize the configuration (e.g., forward ports). But for 90% of people that's not going to be an issue.
Alternatively one could contribute to making the competing hardware just as good.

It is sad how I intuitively felt the urge to scroll to see if I could zoom in quicker. I think the Web is getting us too used to quick scrolling and just short glimpses of artworks, places or articles, and unable to stop even for a couple of minutes to try to explore the essence of some art and get absorbed by it.

Why do you have this image of Apple might be the better question here.

I was able to afford a PC for a long time before i was able to afford an Apple product.

The PC platform did so much more for every single human being on our planet than any apple product will ever do.

Apple is doing a great job on being the innovative hipster company they are, don't get me wrong.

But Android had an real impact.

Google provided Maps free as one of the first.

I use a MacBook at work and sitll use more Microsoft products. Microsoft has much more products and is much more diverse then Apple. Those are just two totally different companies with different focuses.

Microsoft works on tons of fronts, Apple does that on one and Apple has to succeed in its small focus area while microsoft doesn't.

My brother is good friends with a family that has a fairly large farming operation near our hometown. Their dad puts out blog posts periodically and in one of them he mentioned something about the South African workers being delayed or unavailable due to the pandemic.

I would guess they maybe make a good labor pool due to being in the opposite hemisphere, so they can come up to the US during their off season. Not sure on that though.

I was surprised when I read about it, and then a little less surprised when I read it in this article. Guess it's a thing.

I'm not disagreeing with you. I didn't follow this whole saga very closely and I picked the one quote of his that I'd seen in the headlines. It's not that I'm trying to give him the benefit of the doubt as much as up until this moment I haven't personally seen anything worse than that one comment.

That one comment by itself seemed bad but explainable. If he's said worse, well, damned if I'm going to be an apologist for a pedophilia advocate.
One interesting thing to contemplate along these lines is that the U235 to U238 ratio of naturally occurring uranium changes through time on Earth. They had about the same abundance when the Solar System was created but they have different half lives. U235 is about 0.70 billion years and U238 at about 4.47 billion years.

Currently U235 is only 0.7% of natural uranium, but one can make a nuclear reactor with natural water as a regulator with ratios of about 3%. So for most of Earth's history an intelligent race could probably develop nuclear power at the wood burning level of energy production. If nuclear and coal were developed in tandem, I can't imagine coal winning out. It is so much less safe and dirty.

There is even geologic formations where natural nuclear reactors existed in the past[1].

In Azure Sphere, Pluton didn't do any direct network communication, that was all handled by the main core. Also there was no cellular so the whole system depended on user interaction to get online.

When the main core wanted to talk to the Azure Sphere cloud service (from Linux user land), it would go through a remote attestation process that involved Pluton. Pluton can securely track what software was booted on the main core (called "measure boot") and it basically sends a hash of that to the cloud to prove to the cloud what software is currently running.

So I imagine the chip-to-cloud thing they're talking about is this remote attestation protocol.

Also, it's possible the term "Pluton" has been expanded to refer to more than just the M4 chip we used in Azure Sphere.
