It's not nearly as diverse of hatred that 4chan has to offer.

/pol/ is a U.S.A. board that takes a firm single side in the U.S.A. culture war.

Most 4chan boards are largely outside of it and the hatred one sees there does not align with any of the two factions in the U.S.A. culture war and the hatred that flows is indeed very diverse in that sense.
"It's like innocent until proven guilty flies out the window."

Honestly, this is now the public perception (and the system) operates these days. I had a trooper recently hold a charge that he knew was incorrect and it carried with it pretrial restrictions that no other charge would. The state police say there's nothing wrong with subjecting people to pretrial restrictions under charges that they know to be incorrect. The attitude is "screw you, criminal" (just a summary offense).

Some states actually get it right and use blood tests. That means that some blood is saved if the defense wants to have it tested (evidence preservation).

I agree with you that the risk of getting Covid-19 far outweigh the risk of blood clots associated with some vaccines, however, I've read this comparison with birth control related blood clots many times and it just doesn't seem to be comparable.

https://www.marketwatch.com/story/why-comparing-blood-clot-r...

> Indeed, government health officials are investigating a type of blood clot called a cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) among the J&J recipients. These clots formed in the draining veins of the brain, combined with a low platelet count, essentially causing a stroke. Hormonal birth control pills, on the other hand, raise the risk of blood clots in the leg that can break off and travel to the lung, causing a pulmonary embolism that blocks blood flow to part of the lung. The latter clots can be treated with anticoagulants, while the J&J clots cannot.

One seems to be far more deadly than the other.
Wow this study says lockdowns don't work, social distancing doesn't work, and masks help a little under ideal circumstances (real circumstances not studied). I'm surprised to see a study that admits these things here on HN.

This is literally what "COVID deniers" have been saying since the lockdowns started. Yes, some people are extreme about the masks, but the lockdowns have always been the most serious infraction on our liberties and lives.

I wonder how many people died of induced mental or economic despair due to the lockdowns, which are still in place in some places, a year later, when we have ample evidence that their only effect is the destruction of livelihoods, especially of small business owners.

Or suppose you run the most successful/profitable Fantasy Sports League start-up on the internet (used to work for 'em) and host your own gear. Every year you have to analyze trends in use and predict future load, to build the capital needed to buy all new racks of servers every 2-3 years, pay for all the IT staff, datacenter costs.

That was before the cloud existed. They had to poach experts from hosting companies to build and maintain their gear. They built a 24/7 NOC, did server repair, became network experts, storage experts, database experts. Besides being incredibly complex and burdensome, it was financially risky. If they missed their projections they could over-invest by 1-2 million bucks, or even worse, not have the capacity needed to meet demand.

If somebody told us back then that we could pay a premium to be able to scale at any time as much as we needed, when we needed it? We would have flipped out. We had heard about Amazon building some kind of "grid computing" thing, but it seemed like a pipe dream for universities, like parallel computing. Turns out it was a different kind of grid.
It's was not unexpected that levels bounced back eventually - we'd expect them to, after a small trial lasting only 27 weeks. Arguably if this approach (or the gene drive one) was sustained and combined with the standard treatments we'll get rid of these things or at least malaria.
That does not make any sense for any reasonable definition of clickbait.
I don't think it's that clear. The interface of a library is still part of the library, albeit a very small one (smallest possible to enable interoperability). So, the SCOTUS accepts that re-using part of a creation can be fair-use.

You jest but USA elected Donald Trump to lead them, proving once and for all that misinformation spread by the internet is potentially world-ending.

You jest but if a pandemic 100 times as deadly as COVID came upon us, anti-vaxxers and the misinformation they spread via the internet could potentially end the world.

You either education your people, or you have to control the information they receive.

The GOP has long chosen to make Americans more stupid (privatisation of education, the teaching of fairy tales in the science classroom, etc) so that they can continue to be manipulated into voting for charlatans. As a result, the only way to keep the country from completely going off the rails on the backs of dumb fucks is to manipulate the information they receive... try and protect them from misinformation, disinformation, and lies.
I would say that this is "surprising" because the AMA (and many other mental health groups) were predicting a huge increase in suicides, which never happened. Later on, the "people are killing themselves" narrative became the accepted dogma, sans evidence. I don't remember much talk about suicidal ideation, it was mainly (understandably) fixated on the suicide rate.

An increase in actual suicide attempts is different from an increase in self-reported suicide attempts, and I'm not sure how you would reconcile the former with a decrease/stagnation in the suicide rate. If more people are deciding to reach out/ask for help I would expect a similar pattern.
I don't think the usual risk factors for clotting apply here. These cases were rare enough to stand out at just 1 per million. The clotting seems to be a specific immune response similar to some people who clot when given heparin.

I'm afraid that still doesn't answer my question.

I apologize if this is not the implied logic - and I ask that you break it down for me so I can understand, as briefly as you possibly can.

I actually choose a slower (V1) supercharger because it's close to a friend's house and we can meet up for lunch or dinner while I'm passing through their city. The notification on my phone that the charge session has ended always interrupts our meal a bit earlier than we would naturally end it, but that just means no awkward goodbye. It's great.

Also, I couldn't imagine driving an EV now without liquid cooled batteries. How would you preheat the battery when you want it to be nice and warm in preparation for a rapid charge, or to gain performance on cold mornings?

Try disabling all your browser extensions and see if the problem persists.

It’s amazing to me how inefficiently a lot of browser extensions are written - eg last I checked, metamask pulls in web3, which is a clown car of javascript that takes hundreds of milliseconds to parse. That code needs to be parsed every time you navigate to a new website. You might not notice a single extension like that, but with a few bad extensions it’s easy for your browser to slow to a crawl. The obvious response is to blame the browser for stuff like this, but it’s usually the extensions that are causing your problems.

Like another comment said, don't bother swapping out disks, just leave the dead ones in place and disable them in software. Then eventually either replace the whole server or get someone on site to do a mass swap of disks. At this scale redundancy needs to be spread between machines anyway so no gain in replacing disks as they die.

What is the "interface" of an image and what is the "implementation"? In the Oracle case, the terms were clear. The interface is the set of rules that bind the implementation and its consumers. In the case of an image, this is inapplicable. One could try to determine the size of the image, its colors, and other physical parameters. But in the end, I fail to develop a useful abstraction that could serve as "interface". So, no, the case cannot be used as an argument, IMO.

Are those EVs that are going to become decent sub $20k buys at say 5 years old even in existence yet? Even if they are there aren’t enough of them being sold new yet.

I seems to me probably another 5 years to get enough volume in solid lower end EVs that are bought in quantity and have a decent lifespan. Then another 5 years for them to filter down to the used market with decent prices.

I bought a 2017 Golf last year for around $15k. In Australia the only thing you can get electric wise at that price point would be a 2013 or so leaf with 100km range, and even then there is basically no supply.
I think I know what you're getting at: If all of the manufacturers suddenly requested private inventories to be set up, the chip manufacturer would be dedicating all of its production to filling up warehouses rather than shipping.

That's the thing! If you read the post I NEVER received ANY warnings... Legit just banned for three strikes over night with NO emails about any of the copyright strikes. No way to appeal or contact youtube about what videos had strikes or on what channel. All I have is speculation based on the termination emails I received.

I need to make this clear now. NONE of the videos were MONETIZED... None of the channels reached watch-time criteria to be monetized because youtube doesn't count shorts. ALL clips where EDITED into shorts and given proper attribution back to the streamers with links in the description and video etc. Some of the streamers even commented and I was able to pin/promo their streams in the comments as well!

MY MAIN CHANNEL. That is ALL purely my content was INCLUDED in the ban. I made the shorts channel in the youtube channel switcher section and they didn't have emails associted. Somehow I could still get emails to my gabnworba@gmail.com account through random page emails like: league-of-legen-63423@pages.plusgoogle.com (they route to my main I guess?)

I'm sorry that I'm not a very good writer and didn't detail all this in my medium post but I was definitely NOT just ripping content as my own and getting paid for it. I only had revenue from my MAIN channel which was terminated with the rest.
It could. But there's a lot of code complexity there because ripgrep is made from de-coupled components. Implementing your idea would require making that frequency distribution available as an overridable element all the way down into where substring search is actually implemented (a transitive dependency of ripgrep).

On top of that, it's unlikely to make much of a difference. Not only would the frequency distributions between languages look pretty similar, but it's still just a guess at the end of the day. There is such a thing as overfitting too. :-)
...and this is why we torrent.
The "laws of entropy" are about the observer's uncertainty about the physical state which is then described as a thermodynamical system (in equilibrium in the classical formulation). And they can be “violated”, even though it’s unlikely it’s not impossible.

For a demon who knew the position and velocity of every particle there is no entropy (or it doesn't change if we define one).

Maxwell: “One of the best established facts in thermodynamics is that it is impossible in a system enclosed in an envelope which permits neither change of volume nor passage of heat, and in which both the temperature and the pressure are everywhere the same, to produce any inequality of temperature or pressure without the expenditure of work. This is the second law of thermodynamics, and it is undoubtedly true as long as we can deal with bodies only in mass, and have no power of perceiving the separate molecules of which they are made up. But if we conceive of a being whose faculties are so sharpened that he can follow every molecule in its course, such a being, whose attributes are still as essentially as finite as our own, would be able to do what is at present impossible to us.”

"python is bad"

Supporting evidence:

1. It looks ugly

2. Why is there more than one python?

3. Whitespace is dumb

4. Dynamic typing is bad

5. No support for constants

The article fails to even consider that languages are different tools for different problems where a valid argument can actually be found.

Why do you need constants? How can you argue that types are necessary but simultaneously permit magic numbers?

There are certainly some valid shortcomings of python, none of which the author mention.

I'll also add that a lack of backwards compatibility with python2 is painful but not unheard of in other languages and libraries. Not that the author presented it as a complaint about compatibility, rather about being given too many options. I wonder which C compiler they use?
The author's About page says he has "a particular dislike of self-anointed 'experts,'" but that seems to be exactly what he is.
This just gave me an idea. I’ve been on teams like this. I’ve also been on teams at the other extreme, where formatting nit picking took up the vast majority of review.

The former is obviously painful because poorly formatted code is a constant mental burden. But it’s also true that unrelated formatting changes can present a similar mental burden and make meaningful changes harder to identify.

The latter can detract from more meaningful review. But prioritizing better formatting consistently keeps a codebase more manageable over time.

This is somewhere tooling can help, more than it already does. Automated linting/formatting is great. Depending when it’s applied, and how effective its automation, it can potentially defer the burden til review time. But there’s still a lot of room for improvement there.

Many diff tools present an “ignore whitespace” option. I would like to see this taken two steps further:

1. Better language syntax awareness could go beyond whitespace as formatting-specific “noise”. I know there’s work in this direction and it’s great too. Besides making it more available and complete...

2. “Ignore” is probably not the best option. Ideally tooling can also identify these two sets of changes so they can be both viewed, and more importantly merged separately.

The problem right now is that formatting is noise pretty much everywhere one might interact with a project. Making it a distinct set of changes at the diff and history level would help significantly.

But of course he wouldn't be doing a voice-over in a real non-recorded attempt to solve a problem and I think it's notable that he falls silent when focusing at times. Interesting that he solves it by sleeping on the problem.

He's quite active on Twitter: a friend of mine has had some good debates with him on particular problems using Twitter.

> From what I understand batteries remain the lion's share of an electric vehicle's total production cost (I've heard as much as $16K/vehicle).

I've seen this same figure for current EVs. But it's important to look at the trend. Lithium-ion battery prices have decreased by 97% since their introduction in 1991. The price decrease curve is amazing [0]. Teslas were at least $80K in 2015; today a Tesla with similar range (Model 3) can be had for $40K. That decrease is largely the result of Tesla and Panasonic improving battery energy density and battery production economies of scale. There is every reason to believe this trend will continue, especially if solid-state batteries can be scaled up.

As for rare-earth metals, cobalt is the worst one w.r.t. rarity and human labor. Tesla's next generation of batteries (starting in late 2021) eliminate cobalt and substitute nickel and manganese, which are far more plentiful and don't require child labor.

Not trying to sanctify Tesla here; I just follow them more closely than other battery manufacturers. The others are probably working toward similar goals.
