I think it's still not that frequent. More frequent than I expected before running the numbers, though. Let's say you have a five number interesting sequence starting at N. If the highest number that you can draw is M, then at most, you will have M-5 of these possible. Call it M of them. But we probably don't have sequences starting at each N.

Let's say we've got k of these different kinds of interestingnesses, and an average sequence can start at like a quarter of the numbers. Then the number of draws that we would consider interesting are no more than 0.25 * k * M. So the probability of an interesting draw is 0.25 * k * M / (M choose 5). If M = 69 (apparently the PowerBall rules), then it's 0.25 * k * 69 / 11238513 = k / 651508.

The probability of drawing one of these in c draws is 1 - (1 - k / 651508)^c. For a draw to be at least 50-50 (where it becomes more surprising to not have seen one, that's at least -log(2)/log(1 - k/651508) draws.

For 5 interesting sequences, that's about 90k draws. For 10 interesting sequences, that's about 45k draws. For 100 interesting sequences, it's about 4.5k draws. By 100 sequences, I think the number of numbers the sequence is eligible to start at will drop by a ton. Even having a quarter of numbers be eligible start positions with 10 really interesting sequences seems like a tall order.

So I'd guess the number of draws for a "real" answer is between 5k and 100k draws.

Looks like about 50 U.S. states and territories do it 2x / week. I don't know internationally, but let's double that number to 100 places, 2x per week: 200 draws per week.

5k/200-100k/200 = 25 - 500 weeks = 6mo to a decade before this isn't surprising. I'm leaning more toward the decade end.

Yep same lesson. As I wrote above, we knew we could not finish the min. contract amount based on prior usage which the rep said the roll-over is great for our use case and would be fine for us to continue using them for the next year they would just issue new paperwork (I should have pushed harder on clarifying all the ins and outs of roll-over and get it into the contract). The contract is only 1 page and the only roll over clause is vague and so yes I guess they can basically decide to change what new contract polices they have internally and the customer would be subject to that whim, which from the rep it sounds they have because newer customers than us on a different policy (not sure how/when they decided to create these customer buckets) where contract can only roll-over by paying the same amount each year or more.

"Rollover of Capacity. If Customer purchases additional capacity under a separate order form before the end of the Subscription Term hereunder, any unconsumed Capacity will roll over into the immediately succeeding subscription term of such order form. Otherwise, purchased Capacity expires and becomes void automatically
at the end of the Subscription Term."
> Then get your electricity nationaly, or from france, or from germany, or from saudi arabia, or from australia, or from argentina.

Ah yes, because the other countries will magically have the spare capacity (both in terms of generation and transmission)?

We already see this play out in Europe: nobody there wants to do anything about russia because they control the natural gas supply.

>The point is NOT to outsource your country's entire electricity production.

Maybe, but the effects are the same. If you can't produce enough electricity to make it through the night, that puts you in very vulurable position. Even if it doesn't completely shut down the country, it might cause enough unrest to topple the current administration (eg. if they're only leading in the polls by a few percentage points and there's an election in a few months).

Many people know the precise rates; it is just that common people do not, which is the whole point. VAT rate is public and I think uniform across the country. Local governments impose various fees and they are not widely known to the public. Relevant accountants and officials know all about the rates but they are not supposed to broadcast it.

I saw a clip of Chinese news broadcast giving shocking rates on Youtube, like a quarter to a third, but unfortunately I cannot find it now. There is little public information about effective sales tax rate. However, people do realize it. High taxes is one reason Chinese tourists buy a lot when overseas; they could see the price difference.
It's also arguably worse. It adds a conflict of interest that the "numbers game" never had. The same government that is responsible for providing an education that makes people resistant to the lottery has an interest in people being vulnerable to the lottery.

Humour is usually understood by clever people, not wannabe contrarians who mimic each other and pretend to know it all. HN is but a shell of what it used to be, infested by pretentious mediocrity. Read carefully and you will see how language, topics and “well informed” explanations are following a set of pattern. Basically most people here imitate each other and rarely provide meaningful insights while down voters often downvote meaningful replies. Links are great tho.

Just have a read and see how many replies on most topics rarely dive into specifics and often barely scratch the surface of topics. Humous takes a deep understanding of a topic for one to see why it is hilariously amusing to some. Not something you can achieve with shallowness.

> If you file an issue against ripgrep proper with code links and some more details

Sorry, I don't think I explained my issue very well. In general it has nothing to do with the interaction with ripgrep, that works fine.

It's that each adapter (e.g. zip -> list of file streams) needs to have an interface of fn(Read) -> Iter<ReadWithMeta>

But then if there's a PDF within the zip, I have to give the returned ReadWithMeta to the PDF adapter - but it can't take ownership, because the Archive file iterators only give borrowed reads. I maybe worked around this by creating a wrapper type [3] and adding an unsafe here [2], but something deadlocks when adapting zip files currently.

Also, for external programs, I have to copy the data from the Read into a Write (stdin of the program) - which needs to happen in a separate thread, otherwise the stdout is never read [1], but some Reads I have aren't Send since they come from e.g. zip-rs, so they can't be passed to a thread.

Traditional power stations do exactly this - being closed for maintenance or running on low output for days, weeks or months even the interconnector cables between UK and European power suppliers have failed for months at a time.

Reactivity is really hard to measure.

You'd have to specify the pressure and temperature first. Fine enough, human body fever temps to freezing, and then maybe a few atm to vacuum.

Then the really hard part comes in: you have to specify the reagents. Water, saline, air, ok. But the carcinogens really come in on all the ways the human body mixes with everything. You got all the enzymes, the buffers, the solutions, the biles and secretions, the hyper complex bio-chem that is a single pancreatic cell, etc.

I don't think such a matrix would be possible to report out without having a complete understanding of every human's biology in all it's strange wonderful forms.
For someone who has no talent whatsoever in stuff like that, I must say it almost looks like magic what you are doing. Well done!
> Organic is a better example. It's simply a marketing concept designed to capitalize on the appeal to nature fallacy

It's not clear what exactly are you referring to with "organic", as one can refer to both agricaltural products and processed food.

At least in relation to processed food, I do read and compare labels, and very often, there are 1. less additives 2. natural additives as opposed to chemical ones 3. less refined ingredients.

This alone is a big deal, and just based on this, organic as a whole is definitely healthier.

I can't talk for processes themselves, but I wouldn't be surprised if there were higher standards in the food chain (e.g. less freezing time, no freezing at all etc.). As a matter of fact, you'll often read that organic is tastier; I personally don't find it so, but that could be very well the cause. Again, organic food is preferrable here (I'm not using "healthier" in a strict sense here).

I'm not based on USA though, which may have looser food standards.

In all fairness, in the US--at least where I live--the bulk of education funding comes from property taxes which is presumably progressive. (There is a different criticism that this leads to wealthier towns having better education. Which is probably true at some level although there isn't a lot of correlation between per pupil spend and educational outcomes in a given area.)

In sub-Saharan Africa, millions of people suffer from sickle cell disease, and an estimated 50% to 90% of children born with the ailment die before the age of five. Bill Gates says he has a plan to cure it.

Sickle Cell protects against malaria, which is also a horrible disease. The Gates Foundation hopes to do something about Sickle Cell in the next ten years and hopes to eradicate malaria in the next twenty (see below). I hope they decide this needs to be more of a coordinated effort.

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has committed nearly $2 billion to antimalaria efforts, and Bill Gates has said he believes the disease can be wiped out by 2040.

Malaria today is transmitted in ninety-five countries, accounting for nearly half of the world’s population. Eighty-nine percent of all reported cases are in sub-Saharan Africa

I was suggesting that people test on themselves. Which is we something we already don and can only avoid by outsourcing all our choices. If I expect a given behavior to be net-beneficial and I carefully document and publish my findings who is harmed?

What set of behavior, specifically, are you looking to legislate away? The fewer people looking for drugs and treatments the more expensive those will be. Every restriction is another price hike.
Randomness is a weird concept, because if you roll a die it's random right? Unless you have all the physical variables - roll speed, angular velocity, height, shape of die, air resistance, air movement, temperature, etc to work out where it will land. So randomness is more a lack of knowledge. Randomness is that you are not sure.

And I don't know enough about quantum mechanics to even comment on that, but that's some weird shit too!

We need an OS that self-destructs all data if surrendered, and that should be a hardcoded feature of the OS.

Something like a fingerprint scanner that needs to be scanned at least once every 24 hours or all data gets erased.

The Department of Conservation (DOC) that look after the National Parks in NZ are brilliant. I drove all over NZ in a campervan about twelve years ago - as many do - literally every second vehicle you see is a campervan - and everything is really well signposted. You pull off the road into a layby, and there will be a wooden sign saying "Waterfall - 30 min walk" and then you follow a well kept path for 30 min and then you find a waterfall. Simple! And there are unstaffed DOC campsites in very beautiful places with very basic facilities (tap, compost loo). You just stay the night and then drop an envolope of cash into a box. And the huts in the middle of nowhere that take days to hike to, somehow they keep them maintained too.

Another fun fact, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs or "paws") are commonly observed in interstellar space and a substantial reservoir of carbon overall!

The 3.6 micron band from the IRAC camera on the Spitzer space telescope has a strong PAH flourescence feature in the band (absorbs UV, emits vibrational mode IR). The 3.6 micron wavelength is commonly colored green in composites, so if you see lots of green nebulosity in images from Spitzer, those are likely mainly PAHS.

I highly doubt this. According to wikipedia[1], three high voltage towers can transmit 7079 MW of power. To beat that with lipo batteries you'd need to move 26,713 metric tons worth of batteries per hour[2], and that's not even including time to charge. I don't think any sort of freight transportation method can do that cheaper than some transmission towers.

Make phones that self-destruct all data if the device is handed over. It should be hardcoded to do so and that should not be an editable setting by the user.
