On the contrary, batches of images with a high degree of similarity compress _very_ well. You have to use an algorithm specifically designed for that task though. Video codecs are a real world example of such - consider that H. 265 is really compressing a stream of (potentially) completely independent frames under the hood.

I'm not sure what the state of lossless algorithms might be for that though.
My hope is that it would instill a sense of responsibility in some people. If you want to benefit from an organ donation if you ever need a transplant, then the responsible and fair thing to do is to donate into that system yourself when you die.
While I believe this is interesting project, I got really distracted by the PR around it. "scientist love flow chart" is like talking to babies and making fun of science at the same time. The fake scientist in all pictures ... probably I am not the target audience here.
That paper doesn't show what you think it shows. There are too many variables between these CPU implementations to support the conclusion that the ISA doesn't matter for power consumption.
I'm unsure if you're saying I'm coming from a deontological viewpoint (I'm not), I'm assuming you are a utilitarian, as you said.

Remaining in a utilitarian paradigm, I hardly think societies with slavery maximized utility, this was more or less my point.

More to the actual point, science must have deontological ethics for science to, well, exist. Any world where science has no moral rules is a fantasy, and a rather dystopian one. There must be some sort of social contract between scientists and the general population for it to actually be useful. We are already witnessing a rise in anti-scientific sentiment even with the rigorous reviews we currently have. And it has led to many deaths, directly or indirectly.

Now imagine that scientists are allowed to conduct experiments purely for the sake of progress without consideration of absolute morality. People would actively be burning down science labs, and science itself would be seen akin to witchcraft. This would no doubt slow progress to a halt.

To summarize, the idea of a world where we can have science without deontology is fictional, you seemed to argue it should be this way, I'm arguing that it can't, in practice, be this way.

There just has to be rules, man.
$40K ($32K after tax incentives) doesn't seem absurdly expensive. Most cars in that size class seem to be in the $30K range.

What's surprising to me is that you were seriously considering a mid-size SUV, but settled on an e-bike. (My main commute vehicle (when I was commuting) was a bike, but that bike is in no way comparable to an SUV)
it's kind of strange to pay attention to a fringe internet forum when you have mainstream media, like CNN, WaPo, NBC etc broadcasting conspiracy theories on "white supremacists", "white privilege", "systemic racism", "critical race theory", and other racist divisive bs every day for years now, not to mention inciting riots and violence on the streets.

Especially when they openly admit doing this for political reasons.
Go was in the honeymoon phase between 2013-2016. Considering how much unnecessary attention Rust gets in this forum despite being a terrible language to learn would suggest that Rust is the language currently in the honeymoon phase.

In a world where most people are extremely poor and outlooks are very bleak, religion gives hope to people that their life is meaningful and purposeful (designed for a higher purpose).

In addition, religious people are more charitable than atheists (Muslims are the most charitable as charity is obligatory for them).

Sure any culture could do these things for people. But they don't because culture is not a way of life and belief that imbues human beings with purpose, satisfaction, and clarity about their place in the world. If any culture did do this, it would be a religion.
It’s not punishing dead people. It’s punishing people who benefit from organ donations but choose to not contribute their own organs i.e. those who receive organ donations from those who chose to donate their organs without themselves choosing to donate their own organs.

The default-to-being—an-organ-donor/presumed consent approach has proven benefits when it comes to outcomes in medical situations that require organ donors [0][1][2]. The thing that I personally dislike about defaults like these is that it allows people to move through their life ignorant of the good that they are able to do for others and the good that others are able to do for them.

In the case of an organ donation question on a driving license, I would personally like there to only be two options that are both not default: opt-in to being an organ donor and being able to receive organ donations, and opt-out to not being an organ donor and then be unable to receive donations. An answer to this question would be required (opt-in or opt-out), and not making a selection would the equivalent of submitting an incomplete driver’s license application such that the application would be rejected.

Um, hammers are a scam, too, I think. Show me research demonstrating they have to look like that! There are two points, both missed by the author, to a good office chair.

Firstly, adjustability. The chair is not ergonomic per se, but it allows for a massive amount of adjustment so everyone can get what they need. You can get HM chairs in various sizes, by the way. Secondly, durability. I sat on an HM for 6 years or so without it showing literally any wear. I have a cheap office chair at home that looks like crap after 4.

> On 7 February surgeon James Jaggers had almost completed the operation when he learnt that the organs came from a donor with type A blood, incompatible with Jesica's type O. The story became front page news. Jesica was kept on life support systems while a second transplant was sought—and, astonishingly, found. Despite the second transplant, Jesica died from irreversible brain damage on 22 February.

Quite the testing they did there.

A quick google indicates they test for certain infections (in the US), not genetic disorders:

https://www.cdc.gov/transplantsafety/protecting-patient/scre...

It just so happens people with my condition receive a lot of organ transplants and the organs they receive then don't have the genetic defect. Not exactly a cure, but I'm pretty darn sure it would run the other way and if someone got one if my organs, they would have my genetic disorder in that organ. And they would likely not be happy campers.

So I doubt your statement is entirely accurate.

Edit: I will add that genetic testing takes time and organs aren't viable for transplant for very long. Transplant happens pretty quickly following death of the donor, so genetic testing is unlikely to enter the mix anytime soon, I think.

Anecdata, but the company I moved to a few months ago have 18 staff: only 3 of us have a dedicated work space (from the morning standups that I can see).

My brother works from home now and he's either in his living room or kitchen and my sister has just moved house and has converted one of the bedrooms to an office but prior to that worked from her dining room.

I've worked from home for a few years and have an office (spare bedroom we didn't use) so it's no big deal for me.

I'd love to see a large-scale survey around home office working.
I program in Python at my job and Rust in a hobby project. It surprised me how easy and productive actually Rust is, and I was really very sceptical initially. I know it is very subjective, and possibly a result of my longer exposure to statically typed languages, but simply Rust felt quite natural to me, while Python still feels very quirky, irregular and sometimes outright annoying, despite me spending more time with Python than Rust.

> Compatibility with the GPL

> Both versions of the AGPL, like the corresponding versions of the GNU GPL on which they are based, are strong copyleft licenses. In the Free Software Foundation's judgment, the added requirement in section 2(d) of Affero GPL v1 made it incompatible with the otherwise nearly identical GPLv2. That is to say, one cannot distribute a single work formed by combining components covered by each license.

> By contrast, GPLv3 and AGPLv3 each include clauses (in section 13 of each license) that together achieve a form of mutual compatibility for the two licenses. These clauses explicitly allow the "conveying" of a work formed by linking code licensed under the one license against code licensed under the other license,[4] despite the licenses otherwise not allowing relicensing under the terms of each other.[5]

> To establish an upgrade path from Affero's original AGPLv1 to the GNU AGPLv3, Affero, Inc. published the Affero General Public License version 2 in November 2007,[6] which is merely a transitional license that allows recipients of software licensed under "AGPLv1 or any later version as published by Affero, Inc." to distribute the software, or derivative works, under the GNU AGPLv3 or any later version.
The .NET framework is fantastic at this, you don't even need the underlying code, usually just the function signatures and Visual Studio autocompletion allows you to guess your way into finding the right classes and functions. Everything has long descriptive names (without the AbstractProxyFactory bloat from Java), follows conventions, arranged in a logical hierarchy and ample documentation available in intellisense.

This is actually a pretty good point. Yes, a person truly in need, often in a life-or-death situation, will benefit from that organ, but the hospital and staff performing that transplant will also benefit financially (especially here in the US where health care bills are out of control).

Why shouldn't the estate of the deceased get rewarded for the deceased's generosity?

(Of course, I fully expect this added cost to just get passed on to the recipient, which isn't a great outcome.)
The worst thing about eBikes is that they can let people ride beyond their ability. Just because you can ride at 25+ mph on a mixed use path doesn't mean that you should ride that fast when you're sharing the path with walkers, joggers, and other cyclists on conventional bikes.

On a conventional bike, it takes some training (and thus, skill) before you can ride 25+ mph for any length of time, but you can take an eBike out on your first ride and ride that fast.
Ask HN: What's Going on with Gmail and YouTube?
I recently received an email in my gmail inbox addressed to a completely different recipient (my email address is nowhere in the raw contents), containing a YouTube terms of service update from 2019. I found a reddit post with a few more people in the same situation that goes into more detail, including strange sender routing and possibly invalid dkim/etc being presented as valid by gmail: https://www.reddit.com/r/Scams/comments/mokin6/phishing_email_pretending_to_be_from_google/

What could this be? An exploit of Gmail, a bug sending people the wrong mail? Concerning in any case.
I was looking for the same thing. I came to the conclusion that the reason the article didn’t share any is because a 6x8’ (ironically, slightly smaller than the dimensions of a jail cell) plywood shack, constructed by a 28 year old, that is given away, probably looks worse than the shanties of the poorest Brazilian favelas.

As a side note, it’s often times easier to gauge the bias of a news source by what they deliberately won’t show you, than the entirety of the content they craft to try and persuade you.
Glad you admit that both you and the OP don't get it. It's only mind blowing because you don't get it.
Must feel strange to have opted in many years ago and now it’s “just„ the default.

This rule has been decided by elected leaders after many discussions. As a citizen you opt in by default into many things that have been different in the older times. School, health care, the BBC, etc. some of which you even cannot opt out at all.
Why should organ donation be treated differently?
It's important not to underestimate how many customers a store in a mall needs to survive. Most need tens of thousands of people to visit the mall every week in order to generate sufficient customers to have enough revenue to be viable businesses. Food-based businesses are a bit different because the same customers can visit every day, but you can't operate a hairdresser or a movie theatre by serving the same few hundred co-working space users every day if you have to pay the sort of costs it takes to run a store in a mall.

In such an era we need institutions to display integrity above and beyond. That means not letting unfounded vaccine skepticism affect how rollout is conducted.

It's a great discussion to have when the matter at hand is that subtle. Frankensteining together human stem cells and monkey blastocysts until something works is pretty far from surgically selecting specific genes.

From the article:

The announcement of the new chimeras will no doubt be labelled “unnatural” or “playing God” by some people – but the same could be said about many scientific breakthroughs. An iPhone is unnatural.

When lifeforms are compared to iPhones, we've reached a pretty clear David Mitchell moment of saying "Are we the baddies?" Something reeks here of amoral science.

We need a better understanding of consciousness and awareness before trying such things, or it's only a matter of time before realizing a catastrophic error that joins the many permanent stains of humanity, as we accidentally become the monster "AM" in "I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream"
I have a couple of comments here.

> You should never be going off and work on huge changes without keeping in sync with the base branch.

I agree, but the stacked PR approach doesn't preclude this. If you periodically `autorebase` the stack against `origin/master` right after a `git fetch origin`, your stack stays in sync with `master`.

> ate a longer lived branch and make small PRs to that. Then merge longer lived branch into master

Large features don't necessarily imply long-running feature branches, though. I personally prefer feature flags (or some other mechanism for conditional execution) on the base branch for features that are "open" for more than a week or so, say.

"Large" is also subjective. You could have changes that are large in terms of lines of code added, the number of services that are being touched, or the number of different+unrelated concerns involved.

As an example, this week I worked on a semi-greenfield Kafka service. Stacking PRs helped me keep track of the review process a lot more easily than "one big PR" would allow, and the stack was merged in 4-ish days. I structured the stack like this:

- Add a `proto` file covering messages that this Kafka consumer reads off the incoming topic
- Pull in a gradle library for protobuf code generation
- Add in a simple Kafka consumer and producer
- Add a `Processor` that works on incoming messages
- Hook everything up; the sevice consumes off Kafka, "processes" the data, and produces back to Kafka

These PRs aren't similar in terms of size or complexity, but the various concerns that comprise this service are nicely split up.

> Stacked PRs make all this more difficult.

I'm in agreement. Stacked PRs involve more overhead, but there are times when this is a reasonable tradeoff.
If we're concerned with getting consent, but also allegedly too many people are just forgetting to opt-in:

What if, before somebody gets their ID (or another process everyone goes through), we ask them "do you want to be an organ donor" and they have to say either say yes / no?

Taking a single error and suggesting it's evidence of a wider problem is a fun game. Now compare how many transplants happen every day to how often this sort of mistake occurs.

Humans are fallible and mistakes happen. It's a tragedy of course, but it is not evidence of a widespread problem.

Sitting most of the day (i.e. with almost all of your muscles relaxed) is associated with dozens of diseases and early death.

Any chair that lets you relax your legs or disengages your hips is very bad for your health. Any chair that also relaxes your spine is even worse.

The author basically nails it: either pick a chair so basic you're forced to engage your hips and spine to spread the load and maintain posture, or go with an active option like a medicine ball or stand-up desk.
It is also my view on the subject and the way it is in Portugal as well.

Here in Germany I stand in the minority where donation is opt-in, the result being that better not need an organ transplant over here, as it has one of the lowest contribution rates across Europe.
Keeping Time with Zircons
'people without housing opted to sleep outside in tents rather than accept the heightened risk at the shelters'....

This issue is more complex than it appears. The catchall phrase 'homeless' doesn't begin to describe the three horsemen of the unsheltered apocalypse: Substance abuse, Serious mental illness and indigents.

While the shelters are often very rough drug dens, ironically many substance abuse casualties refuse care and walk out of other services facilities because they won't or can't abide by the sobriety rules.

I'm very enthusiastic about firms like palletshelter.com because local authorities can quickly set up their heat & ac equipped tiny homes on local land and infrastructure to serve the three distinct group's very different needs. What doesn't work is allowing addicts to camp out in downtown areas for obvious hygiene and practical reasons. This chap who is using his carpentry skills to 'help the homeless' is arguably a well meaning co dependent.

California is an absolute disaster area right now, with half the USA homeless and more coming, 13 billion spent in the last three years on a problem that is getting worse, and the misguided 'housing first' dogma dominating political decision making. The sooner we start behaving responsibly towards the unsheltered and take their disparate issues and needs seriously in the western world the sooner we can begin to tackle this huge issue. Building favelas and skid rows in major cities is a recipe for disaster and so are attempts to provide free housing for everyone who doesn't have one for obvious economic and behavioral/medical reasons.
