New Zealand has had the virus under control without pharmaceutical help for 9 months now. Many East Asian countries are doing totally fine, with extremely low case numbers and local quarantines for outbreaks.

The difference is pure culture: individualism vs collectivism. In China, not wearing a mask in public makes you a pariah. There’s no such social pressure here in the west.
antibacterial soap, too? how do you keep yourself clean?

and underpants, how? because of how tight they are?
Wild variations are bad for heavy inductive loads like transformers and motors. Within 10% is unlikely to damage anything though.
Would you have a source for that?
Not completely obviously!

Micro plastics was hard since you kinda have to choose between bottled water or tap water! We got a water filter for this one.

Heat meant loose underpants and no warm baths ever.

Teflon- easy. Replace with a carbon steel pan. Improve your chef skills AND sperm!

Western diet is basically high sugar and refined carbs. Just didn’t eat anything with refined sugar on the label in any amount whatsoever (I lost weight fast)

also switched to organic meat and dairy to minimise antibiotics. Can’t say if that made any difference but at least I was being nicer to animals
If you wait for someone else to think for you and protect you from all the dangers in life, you'll be waiting a long time.

The "regulators" are the same people and entities who make huge profits off this stuff.

Do your research and act on it yourself.
This is my preferred solution as well, nowadays.

Is this really so bad? Assuming humans are hit the hardest, the planet will be better off.

Obviously we wouldn't want it to kill our civilization, but for the mean time, it doesn't sound so bad with less homo sapiens
The most vulnerable people are being vaccinated right now, so we should expect (hope?) that the number of hospitalizations and deaths will decrease significantly even if the number of cases does not.
Crunchbase and Angular: Why We Made the Transition
> Oops, just checked, mine has a backlight, and the ReMarkable is even more Closed than my MobiScribe, fail.

Are you certain about this? I was told that remarkable is open source. But I have not verified this myself. But I see tools like https://github.com/torwag/remarkableflash which suggest it is possible to recompile what software remarkable has published and then flash it on to the system. Please double check either way.
For sure, IBM i, z/OS, and Unisys ClearPath have kept their own programming languages, in addition to Java, C and C++, both on their native environments as well as POSIX application layer.

Yes, put this in your ~/.cargo/config.toml:

I really want something that’s strongly typed but doesn’t require code generation like protobufs do. Yaml doesn’t do it for me. The closest I can get is putting the type guarantees in the database and using GraphQL.
Sure you can. Please refer to the doc of zld on how to use zld

I think JSON demonstrates that most of the time you don't need it, and doing that sort of thing badly is worse than not doing it at all.

E.g. XML has all that, and yet the average use of xml is much more fragile thsn the average use of json. Similarly asn.1 has all that, but does anyone actually like the fact the x509 certs use it? (To be clear, json would definitely not be appropriate for that case either).
This could be a B12 deficiency.

B12 deficiency stores can deplete over 2-4 years so it will be a while before you notice.
You also need very small amounts (monkeys get their B12 intake by accidentally eating bugs on their bananas).

I tried going vegetarian for a period of my life and I started feeling extremely tired after a while. I stopped doing it mainly because getting protein is hard and I didn't notice any other positive changes.
Thanks for your feedback. I am glad you like it.
Yes absolutely! Still doing the dietary things for her. She gets to have hot baths though, and wear tight fitting underpants.

FYI anyone else reading, if you have a boy Teflon is really something you should avoid.
I suppose the BMW 3 series and Mercedes C-Class aren't products which cater to the U.K. or Euro market either?

Obviously Tesla doesn't cater to the entire Euro market. But to suggest that Telsa has to cater to all segments in order to be taken seriously is a rather weird bar.

News to remerge on Facebook in Australia after deal struck with government
>>"The third thing to know is that if central banks go crazy increasing the money supply, the result will be high price inflation. There is one exception to this, which was evident in 2008 and 2009 [..]"

Japan has been doing that for decades now, and none of the mainstream macroeconomics prediction came true.

>>"If central banks simultaneously act to decrease the velocity of money — that is, if they take measures to reduce borrowing and lending — then price inflation will be limited accordingly."

What are those measures he is talking about?
Facebook is not the open web. Facebook is a walled garden.
One problem is mice aren't humans. In many cases research done on mice ends up being overly pessimistic, because the short lifespans of mice compared to humans means there is less evolutionary pressure to be resilient to cancers and other diseases of aging. Equally, in other circumstances they'll be more resilient, because they don't live long enough to see the effects of longer term toxins. And of course, there can be differences in specific metabolic pathways.

So yes, it certainly would be good to do more of that research. But there's limits to what it can tell us.
We’ve been launching airplanes with steam catapults for many decades, albeit in an environment where we’re willing to take more risks than to go see Grandma, but many of the catapult concerns are areas where we have decades of experience and hundreds of thousands of successful cat shots.
Yep, I'm definitely making no positive statements as to the absolute location of my brain, or its state of empicklement.
To quote the article the changes are:

- "The amendments require the Treasurer to take into account whether the digital platforms have already struck commercial agreements with news publishers before passing further regulation to make the code formally apply to them"

- "In the event the Treasurer decides to enforce the code, the tech giants must be given one month’s notice"

- "Another change will add a two-month mediation period into the code to give the parties more time to broker agreements before they are forced to enter a binding final-offer arbitration process. This comes on top of the existing three-month negotiation period."

These changes don't seem like a loss to me.

It's reasonable to work on the factors that you can easily influence. Once you've tackled those, you can see what else you can still fix. It doesn't need to be all or nothing.
Haha. I unfortunately did take it a bit more seriously. There was a point where if someone offered me a biscuit with my decaf tea my inner monologue would say “if you eat that biscuit you might never have children”. It was at least in that way the easiest diet I ever went on. 100% motivation!
Is 'x' industry the key driver of 'y' environmental destruction? No, for all values of x and y.

The key drivers for each and every 'y' are economics, poverty and/or poor regulation, while 'x' is just the current manifestation. People plant soy because that's the best crop available for them. If the soy market collapses, they will resort to some other cash crop. If you drive the people out of the area but leave poor regulation in place, some mega-corp will discover there are profits to be made, and continue the process.
More importantly, it had nothing to do with CN, which is not a "Canadian Amtrak" or even an Amtrak competitor. CN is a publicly-traded freight rail company that doesn't currently operate passenger service. There are plenty of those in the US besides CN (which also operates a bit in the US): Union Pacific, Norfolk Southern, etc.

> I assert that our understanding of the mathematics of harmonious color are well understood because the spectral relationships are fairly straightforward.

I definitely disagree with this. The relationship between color and spectrum is not straightforward.

Again, the human perception of color is complicated and nonlinear. We have made great strides sussing out that relationship with experiment, but when we discuss hue and relative differences, it becomes far more difficult to translate our experimental data on human color perception to some kind of useful model. The models have evolved over the years, from tristimulus models (based on the spectral response of photoreceptors) to more complicated nonlinear perceptual models (Lab and its successors), but as we work towards more accurate perceptual models, the models become more complicated and therefore more difficult to use and understand.

I am not trying to say this in order to be difficult--at one point I was working on image compression techniques and trying to create a perceptually uniform color quantization system. All models of color differences had noticeable limitations which made my work more difficult.

> Thus 180 degrees being "correct" complementary.

This assumes some kind of linearity in human visual perception which simply does not exist. You can do a hundred experiments showing that green light and magenta light mix to form white light, and yet this does not imply that they are complementary colors--the notion of complementary colors is only loosely related to the physics of light, just as color itself is only loosely related.

One line of questioning here is, "Is it reasonable to consider red and green to be complementary colors? If so, should our color space encode this relationship?"
Those timelines are subject to political winds, not the laws of physics.
Ask HN: New manager with no management experience and only one report
Hi HN,

I'm being assigned a new manager who is being promoted from an engineering role and is new to management. We worked together as engineers and this will continue after the promotion, as they'll continue to write code. I'll be the only report this person has, and we are the only two engineers on our team.

What are some of the pitfalls to look out for in a situation like this and how can I make it a success?
Exactly. Antibacterial soap is marketing BS. Soap already kills bacteria. As it has done since it was invented.

Proof point- look how hard antibacterial soap is being advertised during the pandemic, which is cause by a frikkin VIRUS
As I have stated, I was looking for evidence or proof for OP's claim about patents and did not find it, nor does OP appear to be able or willing to back up his/her claim. My opinion is that display pricing is driven primarily by volume, and secondarily by a lot of other rapidly fluctuating variables related to ITO/TFT manufacturing costs. I'm sure patents has some effect on the industry, but most likely negligible as I've never heard companies being impacted by it. At least not in my corner of the industry.

To be frank, I believe OP's claim about patents is wrong and is just some kind of worldview that for some reason has caught on recently in HN and is getting repeated without being challenged.

The simplest evidence I can give that volume is the main driver of pricing is to compare EPD 6" matrix display pricing between 2007 where it was 100x more expensive than it is today. Patents haven't changed. Volume has. That was driven by large scale buyers like Sony, Amazon, and others.

Man Rewrites SNES Racing Game to Improve Its Framerate Sevenfold
Yes, it does. The men on both sides of my family have hereditary slightly higher than average testosterone levels, and hair loss starting around 18-20yo is seemingly unavoidable.

None of us are lantern-jawed propaganda poster supermen, though. So testosterone is not the end-all, be-all hormone :-)
“Climate change is one exception“

Lol every time...
When I write code or here on HN, I try to use Americanisms... But when writing longer form or official things, I use British English.

I doubt I'm the only one.

Lol... Every damn time.
Combined cycle gas turbines are about the most efficient least polluting non-renewable power we have available. They are basically using a gas turbine as a heat source for a steam turbine engine.

Unfortunately you aren't going to load that onto a truck so that would be a straight gas turbine which is great for power to weight, cost and reliability but not efficiency.
That was my experience. My guess is capital seems abundant to well connected insiders in the Bay Area. It's not in London where revenue is a prerequisite. One startup I know had to go to Berlin for funding.
It’s a reaction trained to fixed winged airplane pilots to the point where it becomes instinctual. If your airspeed is dropping low you push forward the stick. You don’t do it because you have run a fluid dynamics simulation which warned you about the approaching stall, but rather as a reflex to a set of sensory cues.
Transaction fees appear to be significantly higher than $5 at the moment (see e.g. https://www.coindesk.com/ethereum-transaction-fees-hit-recor...).
This point of view is self-exterminating, which is why having it is dumb.
The last paragraph on Amtrak has nothing to do with CN or the rest of the article. Either the author is just unaware of Canadian National or they chose to include an unrelated point on Amtrak for some reason.

CN is not a "Canadian Amtrak" or even an Amtrak competitor. It's a publicly-traded freight rail company that doesn't currently operate passenger service. The US obviously has analogs: Union Pacific, Norfolk Southern, etc.

Facebook had all the leverage here, so I find it really really odd that Zuck caved to Murdoch^WThe Liberal Party.

Related: given the new proposed Australian law, I would love to see Twitter use this against News Corp - a hell of a lot of their articles is just commentary on a few tweets (i.e the actual news source of the story). Twitter should start demanding payment from News Corp because they’re stealing their revenue.

Please stop spreading misinformation about a disability you obviously know nothing about.

You are just disrespectful to the parents of kids with ADHD and minimize the problems people with ADHD have because of their disability.

ADHD is not bad parenting. It's a disability and it needs treatment. The treatment doesn't need to be medical but medication is very effective and can enable other treatment methods and lower the burden of ADHD for all parties that are involved including the kid.
Yes, that assertion sound like it's coming from someone who has never actually used Bitcoin.

There are cryptos which are instant and without transaction fees (e.g. Nano for payments and maybe in the future IOTA as an alternative to Ethereum). So there is some hope for the technology, but it remains to be seen if any of this actually takes off.
But we still need to somehow allocate funds to that insulating academy. We can't just give them blank checks to spend on whatever they want.(In current economy maybe we could, but that is beside the point)

So it is also part of that process that someone there provides the politicians good reasons to spend money. Now how to do this sanely is complex question, but it is step of process that needs to exist. Or we might end up funding astrology and likes...

Wow, thank you, I've finally found a name for the rash I used to get on my hands. It showed up when I ate wheat several days in a row, when I played with Play-doh, and when I used latex dishwashing gloves. Took years to figure it out. I still have scarring because of it.
Fractals show that order is simply a part of the chaos. Infinities create repeating discrete patterns in recursive order. We already do what Plato suggested, it's more or less called schooling and no one rebels because school teaches humans how they can productively live in community. You have many parents each of them called teachers. It's too bad we don't have closer bonds with all these various parents, would make life more meaningful.

Tiered pricing doesn't make a judgement on what you are using. It doesn't say "you're using your oven or A/C too much".

What I would like to know, is are smart meter capable of refusing a demand for electricity for a device. So, say the company wants to use minimal electricity, will it allow energy for fridges and freezers, but not for A/C and TVs?
In Rust, the state machines just implement one trait, Future, which has one method: poll.

For a very long time, async/await were just normal Rust macros; there was no compiler<->library interface.

For a year or so, async/await are proper keywords, which provides nicer syntax, and some optimizations that were hard to do with macros (e.g. better layout optimizations for the state machines).

But that's essentially the whole thing.

Looking at safety, flexibility, performance and simplicity, Rust design picks maximum safety, performance, and simplicity, trading off some flexibility in places where it really isn't necessary:

- you can't move a coroutine while its being polled, which is something you probably shouldn't be doing anyways

- you can't control the layout of the coroutine state for auto-generated corotuines; but you can lay them out manually if you need to, for perf (the compiler just won't help you here)

- you need to manually lay out a coroutine and commit to the layout for using them in ABIs

C++ just picks a different design. 100% safety isn't attainable, maximum flexibility is very important, performance is important, but if you need this you have alternatives (callbacks, etc.). I personally just find the API surface of C++ coroutines (futures, promises, tasks, handles, ...) to just be really big.

U.S. residential sector accounts for 21 percent of all energy consumption and is responsible for 20 percent of our country’s carbon emissions.

Heating is the largest energy expense in most homes, accounting for 35-50 percent of annual energy bills in colder parts of the country.

Home air conditioning accounts for almost 6 percent of all the electricity produced in the U.S.

https://www.c2es.org/content/home-energy-use/

As of Feb. 17, energy was out for 2.7 million households, officials said. With freezing temperatures expected through the weekend, getting the lights back on will be a slow process, as the state has lost 40% of its generating capacity, with natural gas wells and pipelines, along with wind turbines, frozen shut.

https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-factcheck-texas-wind-turb...

So extremely quick and dirty: If we moved to passive solar, we could potentially save as much as 10 percent of energy usage and it would be the part that's really critical in a crisis induced by an extreme weather event: The lifesaving ability to stay warm without power.

With climate change making extreme weather events more common, promoting passive solar ought to be a policy around the world. It also helps disrupt that positive feedback loop that we run the AC more because of climate change and running the AC more helps promote climate change.
Modern systems are even more interesting in how they boot. There is chipset initialization, DRAM configuration, etc that needs to be done. But how do you execute when there is no DRAM? It turns out modern CPUs have a decent amount of cache so they load the code from ROM or flash into the CPU's cache and both execute from there as well as using it as RAM.

Quite a lot goes on before even EFI or similar firmware starts, which itself does quite a bit of work before the OS boot loader starts.
I wonder if there's an equivalent for markdown variants. I wonder if there are more markdown variants or JSON variants.
I'm having a hard time understanding why investing later would be more expensive than investing now.

Unless you're taking into account the opportunity cost, I would expect the cost of investing in an electric infrastructure to be lower once the kinks have been worked out by early adopters.

On top of having a brand new set of expertise to shop for, the traditional automakers also will have to modify their existing factories. They'll have to do that eventually, but there might be some massive cost associated with adapting factories to the wrong tech.

As another commenter ("1-6") said, cloning cute animals is how you get the public's support.

The market isn't going to support the costs of developing cloning tech to save endangered species and government grants aren't big enough either. But if you market the tech to rich people who want clones of their pets, you can actually develop it and then, once you have it, modifying it to save endangered species, even ones that aren't cute, gets much easier and cheaper.

But it's used for all kind of config files. And there I would like to comment why stuff is done the way it is.
Lard from pasture raised pork is also higher in omega 3. In the USA we switched to a "meat hog" around the 1920-30s for better industrialization. Just a heads up pasture pigs like Large Black hogs or wild boar do have a different flavor but you can buy the lard alone to cook with.
