Coleman stove for Honda Generator is quite suspect.

I'm guessing early on the goal went from this:

to this:

* decide which of a thousand rabid fans of your site you want to choose, perhaps some of whom are already offering you an entire house for a coleman stove
Computing power is cheap enough that I'd expect modern printers to just rasterize everything ahead of time before even starting the printing mechanism so this would eliminate this problem and make the logic simpler.
> I would hope by now the human eyeball is replaced by some digital light sensor

It has been! But if my lab experience was any guide, it's not necessarily a good light sensor. Spectrophotometry is great for getting coarse accuracy results out of. True precision... that is, and will remain, difficult.
I dont understand the combative and critical tone and direction of the article. Nothing mentioned in the article justifies it. When piecing together a story from second hand or off the cuff remarks of course people will say different things because their own knowledge is incomplete. It seems like the author threw her hands up in the air and just dumped everything she had gathered into a heap. I guess that's what a wire service is supposed to do tho?
If Apple wants to move fast, maybe it would be disadvantageous to have developers hyper optimize for a specific μarch?
That's absolutely terrifying. Thanks for the insight.
I executed a major career pivot at age 32 and now that I'm approaching 40, I'm so glad I did. It was hard but worth it. You have plenty of time, as long as you can put aside the feelings that you've waited too long and start looking for a path from your current life to the life you want. Those feelings will only hold you back. Now is a good time to pick a fig and start eating it. :)

I think it's generally understood that people have varying degrees of self-agency. If you're the sort who doesn't believe in your own agency, that everything happens to you rather than you being largely in control, then when life hands you lemons you will consider yourself a victim.
I disagree about Chapel's cost. A 5 cost Chapel would lead to extraordinarily unbalanced games where a good starting hand basically sets you up to win.

Having the cost be 2 means that everyone gets access to it in the first two hands with out there being much swingy-ness in terms of the initial shuffle.

Maybe an argument could be made for 3 or 4 in the sense that everyone would still have access to it, but 5 just seems too high.
Unlimited resources often slows things down, paradoxically.
I guess the counterargument is that as long as you bring it down in a "safe" area, you don't really need a 100% success rate.

If you can reuse it, great, if not, well, it's a rocket.
With the right camera modifications, you don't have to remove any layers from a chip to discern the core count: https://www.flickr.com/photos/130561288@N04/48258310027/ That's an IR photograph taken with a Sony APS-C camera that the IR-blocking filter has been removed from. That's enough to make out the cores and L3 cache slices. (The rest of Fritzchens Fritz's flickr uploads are worth checking out too, especially the video showing how he preps a die for visible light photography.)
Sounds deep, you probably mean things like love and faith and kindness.

But it's misleading. Friendships and relationships aren't "free" in terms of effort and achievement. They take the same kind of work/luck/genetics/network combination as getting an interesting and fulfilling job does.

Sure, even the hobo on the street can have faith in Jesus and mental peace for free if you mean that sort of thing, but most things people want are scarce or at least aren't available by default, without either effort or connections.
These hit pieces on the Astrazeneca vaccine are frustrating. In a peer reviewed paper in the Lancet, with a large phase III trial, the vaccine was found safe and effective enough to end the pandemic, which seems like a good enough bar. >95% effective at preventing severe disease. This is a standard far beyond what we should be having during a pandemic.

Yet it's still banned for use in the US and most of the world. There is no rational utilitarian reason for this to be banned.

Lift the ban on Astrazeneca and in the US we can be close to normal in 60 days.

It's Career Inertia.

For half a century CIA hired people who had invested massive resources in becoming completely fluent in Russian, well versed in Russian culture, and who had cultivated contacts in Russia. These are the sorts of skills that take a lifetime to develop. All of the most senior staff at the intelligence agencies fall into this category.

This is why the intelligence agencies stick their fingers in their ears and sing "LALALALALALA... I can't hear you" every time Chinese intelligence humiliates them. They're a one-trick pony: anti-Russian operations. That's all they know how to do. They're just trying to get to retirement, no matter what it costs the country.

Just don't put it on the Internet? What's wrong with that? For "Smart" TVs that have obnoxious screens just to switch inputs - ignore them. I still have a great stereo receiver and it does all my switching.

Yes, I prefer non-smart TVs but you can also treat most of them as dumb TVs and they still work fine. If I ever did end up with one that refused to work if it wasn't online I'd take the sucker back.

I have ZERO intention to ever use the software bundled with a TV for all of the reasons others talk about in this thread. It's just not that big a deal to use something else as the source for my content.
Pinterest is a cancer in the world of useful content. It's bad enough that they've destroyed Google image search, but now I see results from them bleeding on to regular search as well, which boggles my mind because Pinterest just links to other sites (while making it next to impossible to find the actual site.)

I hate Pinterest so much that I've set up a keyword shortcut in Chrome search for image search that adds "-site:pinterest.com" automatically when searching.

The election was over. I was going to win easily. And all of a sudden we got hit with the China virus. And now I’m working my ass off.” And he abruptly said, “So long, Bob. Good luck.”

Simple answer: Pinterest isn't for you

Less simple answer: Pinterest has 335 million active users for a reason. It's where people go to collect fantasy boyfriends from TV and movies (not a dig, it's a valid hobby), plan weddings, and generally anything where collecting images from around the web is useful. It's Pinboard for a completely different realm of niches from what you're familiar with.

Pinterest ranks because those results are useful for more people than they annoy.

Personally, and I'm happy to to be wrong, I can't think of any situation where mutating data in a getter is a good idea... in any language ever. Every single time I've caught myself thinking about it, if I take a step back, what I'm about to do is hot garbage and thankfully my hot-garbage-sense caught on.
Apple probably has their own vertically integrated self-driving / electric car supply chain and their own self-driving / electric car product in the works. Why would the famously secretive company expose their future products before they're ready? Also, as good as Musk is at his work, Cook probably didn't want merge with volatile Musk.
While it will be fun to see humans on Mars, the really interesting stuff is further out. Where large lifters like this will really shine is in allowing automated mining factories to be sent to various space rocks in order to allow further, larger projects to be built in place. Musk has been piggybacking technologies to fund future projects — I don't see Mars as an endpoint for his vision, and Mars will be a cash sink instead of a cash generator for some time to come. Look for the next moneymaking (and project-fostering) step.
To be also fair, exponential growth basically does not exist in nature; if you think you have exponential growth, you actually have truncated logistic growth.

AMA continues to befuddle me. If everyone started taking 4000 IU of Vitamin D today, there would be a 10x fall in deaths. And it's available immediately. That will help get the vaccine distributed and reduce the death and admission rate in the mean time.

Also, there are now reports that anything that can trigger an igA response will also kill the virus. Apparently covid is rather easy to kill but we're not doing anything intelligent as a species to stop it.

Sounds levels in particular will be extreme at launch (as in, deadly even outside the blast radius). And there's a lot more fuel that could potentially explode over populated areas on the way into orbit.

For this reason, I think the intent is for Superheavy launches to be mainly done far out at sea. But Boca is needed in the interim for testing purposes.

With all the personalization that Google employs, one should assume that it can figure this out or that it allows one to, for instance, in some setting, block Pinterest unless one explicitly ask for it by including the keyword “pinterest” in one's search.

Perhaps it should be possible to downvote search results to further create a better personalized effect — continually downvoting Pinterest should have a desired effect.
Where are you getting that information about a billion doses already manufactured? Would be great if true!
In addition to the other comment (a lot more engines in the first stage of a full stack than the test hopper), there's also the impact of mishaps - an exploding fully fueled full stack would have dramatically larger impact than the partially-filled test hop.

Then there's he environmental impact of more frequent launches (originally the area was approved for 12 falcon 9 flights a year) - sound impacts on wildlife, habitat impact of larger construction areas, more staff around reduces habitat quality for wildlife, etc.

Why on earth did they not turn on the telemetry system before abandoning the device?

At least that way you could ping the damn thing from a helicopter and triangulate the replies.
Yeah the functionality is definitely important from story telling perspective, my point there is the style of the UI is also part of the world building, e.g. the screens from Star Wars should look different from the screens from Blade Runner cuz they're different worlds and different culture, people should have different means to access information from devices. Making everything typical sci-fi style hologram looking UI works but it's a place that can add some nice touch (or can use non screen interfaces if it makes sense in the world)
While everyone can look back with regret, wishing to correct one's mistakes or redo a failed attempt, we know that it is beyond our power to do so. But it is not beyond God's power to bring some good out of it. I don't see how we can read the Gospels and come up with any other answer. Nor do the lives of Christ's saints lead us to any other conclusion.

If we do not always understand why God allows certain events in our lives — why He permits the evils we do or endure — the saint's witness assures us: the same mercy that restores life, that can reunite mother and son, may also permit death as the prelude to restoration.

What are the practical reasons we should rearchitect our systems to remove NAT?

I don't think anyone that has commented so far (or the article itself) really understands how problematic it really is. I don't either for sure, but it's a few 10s(?) of kgs of heavy metal. It's probably going to act like a rock in the glacier, eroding slowly over a long period of time. I don't know how much is problematic, but consider the concentration of naturally occurring Uranium as a point of comparison: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uranium_in_the_environment#Nat.... Even factoring in a few orders of magnitude for refined Plutonium vs. naturally occurring Uranium, it's still a relatively low concentration, and that assumes it erodes entirely and quickly, neither of which seems likely at all.
I use Linux myself at work and currently as my daily driver. But I can’t in good conscience recommend it to regular people. If you want more competition, open source has to be competitive.

Dunno why people are downvoting you - there is more truth than many would like to admit, apparently.

> Aside from blending small amounts on hydrogen in existing methane feeds, no one will do this.

The province of Alberta, Canada has put hydrogen at the core of its energy development strategy. The idea is to use existing natural gas pipelines to transfer hydrogen.

It’s true that a small fraction of hydrogen will permeate the pipes and leak; however, that leakage is not economically significant:

“... this theoretical distribution main leakage rate (43 million ft3/yr) would be 0.0002% of the 24.13 trillion cubic feet of natural gas consumed in 2010.” [1]

Hydrogen can be blended with natural gas (the above calculation was made assuming a 20% blend) or it can be sent down the line exclusively. As for how the hydrogen is produced, there are several ways:

1. It can be cracked from natural gas, after which the carbon is captured and stored back underground. Or,

2. It can be produced from electrolysis of water using energy from a renewable source such as wind or solar, effectively storing the energy for later use.

Either way, the point is that hydrogen is a useful fuel that can be transported over existing infrastructure and then used in a variety of ways that may help with the transition to a zero carbon system. Just to give one example, hydrogen can be combined with carbon dioxide to create jet fuel. [2]

Ask HN: Any Modern Alternative to JQuery?
I'm an experienced Django developer and I am trying build a modern looking website.

I was trying to complete a React course on Udemy but realised that React (Webpack, Redux, Next, Hooks, etc.) may be an overkill and lead to lot of wasted dev time for my usecase. I have used jQuery previously and the application eventually devolved into spaghetti.

Is there anything better than jQuery but not as complex as react and that integrates well with a backend like Django?
