More like “sewer-heat recovery projects” can help against climate change. For those of us with septic tanks, take care of the bio-sludge by not flushing much bleach or other harmful chemicals (if you’re on chemo, I’m sorry, that sucks, don’t worry about your septic-tank biome), ear fiber, consider flushing some active yeast now and then, and limit your water use.
I’ve said it before and enjoy saying it again: I only take cold showers now, to save money, help my physical health (pain down), and help my mental health (turning on the water when I don’t want to us a confidence boost, and stepping out of the shower feels really good).
We don’t need more excuses to keep living beyond our collective means.
I drive an older "full size" SUV ('04 Ford Expedition), mainly because my parents' gave the thing to me when I graduated college. It's fairly easy to work on, so I kind of just keep the thing running. The fuel economy is very bad (like 17 mph highway, 11 in the city), but it's one of those situations where even if I bought a new car with double the fuel economy, it'd take me over a hundred thousand miles of driving to make up the cost difference in fuel savings alone.

It's also really nice to be in a situation where literally everything I own can be moved with it. Strapped my box spring / bed frame to the top of it once.
My wife and I retired in 1998 and moved to the mountains (Sedona AZ). Since then I have worked onsite at Google and Capital One, otherwise did occasional consulting gigs remotely and worked briefly for two companies remotely. I feel like I have had large extended time off periods, except I am always writing a book (BTW, shameless plug: I just published my "Practical Artificial Intelligence Programming with Clojure" book today - grab a free copy from my web site https://markwatson.com)

I haven't been bored for too long since boredom is a trigger for getting some work. We are in a relatively inexpensive area to live which helps financially.

I would rather leave some money on the table and have more free time.
All of those things can be had for cheaper from other vendors. Apple bans competition and overcharges for it on iOS.
And the comments completely ignore that means a return trip for the rental too. When you do as many trips as someone in rural/burbs with fixer houses, that's completely impractical.
Same. I've used a lot of git UI tools in the past (SourceTree, TortoiseGit, GitKraken, Tower, GitHub Desktop, SmartGit to name a few), but when I first tried out Sublime Merge I was blown away and never looked back. It was insanely fast. The UI makes sense and intuitive. Plus the killer feature which is customizable commands in every menu you can think of.
I agree, HN needs less and less facts nowadays and more feelings about somebodies favorite tool or framework. The quality of comments are going below Reddit levels.
This isn't right, any amount of complexity in step 2 is immaterial to the author's argument since the circularity comes from steps 1 and 3.

The author makes a good point that trust must be rooted in something other than the list of people who have coin. Most PoS chains gloss over this part, but do use some kind of real-world root like twitter accounts or burned coins to sign the first block.
The top 0.001% don't need to meet in a smokey room to collude. If they have similar enough motivations (remain wealthy) and operating framework (buying power) they can "collude" by simply acting the same way. Most drivers on the road all behave similarly even though they didn't all meet and coordinate ahead of time. They have similar goals and a framework to operate in.
If someone figures out how to determine the stakes needed to rig up a cheap 51% attack, it breaks the network.

As an Italian, the Starbucks "espresso" I had in the UK once was by far the worst I ever tried for the price. And yes, I tried lots of espressos abroad, from cheap supermarket ones, to fast food chain ones, to essentially any popular higher end café chain.

I may be wrong and too I’m too lazy to search, but I think that at some point France was one of the biggest markets for MacDo. But honestly nothing can beat that kebab/swawarma thing, that stuff is the best meat for the buck you can get (and quite tasty, too). I’m surprised the kebab culture hasn’t made any big inroads in the States just yet, or it doesn’t seen that it has from half a world away.

Shaky Rumor Claims Redesigned MacBook Pros Will Feature 'M1X' Chip
I love that there's a call for more UX patterns to be built into native elements, but I really wish there was a massive push to develop better a11y tooling for developers. Chromium has the A11y Tree View, but it's so noisy that as someone who isn't intimately familiar with the interaction pattern of screen readers, I can't easily digest where the issues are.

I'd love to see a purpose-built browser that "renders" your site purely by the a11y tree, but in a layout similar to how a site might look. That'd make it super easy to see missing buttons, links, uninteractable elements, etc. I'm sure there's efforts within browser developers to do this, but it's frustrating that most of the work is being spent just telling developers their sites are inaccessible rather than giving them the tooling to help make their sites accessible.
Levinthal's Paradox: How to Fold Graciously
Add to that a conservatism that treats the constitution like a religious text designed to curtail any kind of societal evolution or transformation as circumstances change.
Wonder if you could put fold-out solar panels in the bed and have the truck be a complete off-grid power source? It would probably look like Wall-E at a job site.
>If it flies like a duck, is the size of a duck, and quacks like a duck . . . it probably isn’t an alien spaceship or ultra-advanced drone from a foreign power. But headlines such as “U.S. Navy Pilot Spots UFO” generate more clicks than “Pilot Sees Goose on Infrared Camera.”

I was really hoping they were hiding aliens though.

Since you could be in any basis before taking the Fourier transform, it's more like there's a canonical change-of-basis than there is a canonical basis. Time domain might not be the system's most natural basis.
In my experience you need to live somewhere for a bit longer to really understand and appreciate it. Takes me about a year to get of the shock and start to settle in. If you can, make it 3 years for a proper taste.
My reading is that VC's customers have portfolios that include successful companies. VCs are thus disincentivized from disrupting those companies, even if it makes a good return for the new company.
i think you 're forgetting the part where people can just use a different currency, i.e. vote with their feet. Usage is not enforced with guns in the crypto world (hopefully; PoS creates that possibility though). It doesn't solve the problem of fracturing by elites, but it's actually more "individualist" in choice than democracy is.
One thing that comes to mind here is that on-demand private security with fast response times are common-place in high crime countries and cities (such as Brazil and South Africa). I'm honestly not surprised that people in LA are turning to this and I wouldn't be surprised if this catches on pretty quickly where I live (Seattle).

From what I can tell it seem like almost complete open season on property theft and damage in Seattle.

In short, I don't really blame Citizen for doing this, I blame the politicians for not providing an adequately safe or lawful city.
Yes, my point is, that applies for a single coin. The conceptual shift I'm talking about here is that (my definition of fork here is) /another/ coin. Another coin (like ethereum, doge, whatever) is just another "fork" of "cryptocoin-coin". People in need of cryptocoins, if only one existed, would acquire, buy, mine that one. But now that they have multiple options, it is split between all, to varying degrees. As long as they are interchangeable, they are the same thing pretty much. In a fully cryptocoin future world, when a dogecoin is minted, it affects the value of bitcoin. So any x-coin does not live in a vacuum, and can only be scarce in its own network.
Yes, we're seeing Journeys be used pretty horizontally (which clearly makes our messaging a challenge!) and CS being one of those use cases - interested to learn more about how you see Journey fitting in for you.

How would your stake get devalued? If the whole currency gets devalued then it would be devalued for everyone, not just for you.

You'd end up holding the same % stake in the original network, and the same or greater stake in the fork as well.
Yeah student loan forgiveness is a terrible idea. They should just be made dischargable after 10 years.

I've had it with the "they will immediately discharge the debt after graduation" meme. Yes, just add a delay and let them rot on the streets if they are that cheap. If people can't repay their student loans within 10 years then it was a bad deal to begin with.
It's a great example of the saying "if an idea is stupid but it works, then it isn't stupid". When I heard about them, I thought these incentives were kinda goofy. I'm pleasantly surprised by how many people who hesitated to get their vaccines just needed a little nudge (as opposed to being hardcore antivaxxers that I assume will never get it willingly)

So I had to look up what 'invert a binary tree' meant. I was thinking make the leaves roots and the root a leaf, which made no sense.

So flipping the left and right, no I have never had to do that. I have had to write algorithms that processed the tree in infix, prefix and postfix order. And I have had to do it backwards, which is kind of the same but I never changed the tree for that.

As far as an interview question it is testing 2 things, 1) do you even know what a binary tree is, 2) are you comfortable with recursion. And in my case 3) are you willing to admit you do not understand and need an explanation.

From an interview perspective, all 3 are viable questions.

Agreed - the perceived tone of the post is not very convincing. The sibling post ( https://gomakethings.com/theres-no-such-thing-as-a-website-o... ) is also really light on facts.

"In many countries around the world, accessibility is a legal requirement." Would have been nice to name a few. AFAIK it's not that clear cut in the US for example. It depends on your industry, your physical presence (judges seem to apply the rule of thumb of "if you have accessible buildings to do business, your website must be too", etc).
If I can figure out a way to make a decent income I'll do at a year or so.
Bitfury company did a research on PoW vs PoS [1] and their conclusion was "Pure proof of stake approaches pose substantial security threats that cannot be recreated in proof of work systems (including Bitcoin). These problems are inherent to proof of stake algorithms, as proof of stake consensus is not anchored in the physical world (cf. with hashing equipment in proof of work). That is why virtually all of currencies relying on proof of stake use additional mechanisms to address security issues."

On top of that even Vitalik said "proof-of-stake systems are ultimately permanent nobilities where the members of the genesis block allocation always have the ultimate say. No matter what happens ten million blocks down the road, the genesis block members can always come together and launch an alternate fork with an alternate transaction history and have that fork take over."

I like Ford and have driven mustangs for 30 years with a short gap where I had a truck.

Just a preface to say I’m not hating on Ford in particular here, but the msrp is bogus. I can nearly guarantee that the actual base on a vehicle you can actually by will be $10k higher once a dealer is involved.

It's a bit of creative writing, mostly. Fungi evolve, that's what they do. And they evolve very rapidly. They also have great staying power, with spores that have covered every square millimeter of the earth pretty much for the entire history of life on earth. You're breathing some in right now.

Animals evolved warm-bloodedness partly to improve resistance to environmental fungi. Meanwhile, insects (bees, ants, others) actually farm fungi as part of their food and for defense. This all points to a really profound and fundamental fact: We have been co-existing with fungi every second of every person's entire lives.

If fungi are killing more people, it's because people have changed, not the fungi.
What a complete moron this CEO is.
I'm not sure how much more offensive McDonald's frontage is than, just for example, Sephora. Both fronts look somewhat plain and are built into existing (and impressive) facades.

Of course, your criticism ignores that culture is more than restaurants and much more than consumerism. No matter what stores are open along the Champs-Elysees, that it connects the Arc de Triomphe and Tuileries Garden is worth more culturally than what store fronts exist along the way. That is certainly the unique bit, and probably what draws tourists.

Well, the Sephora was a draw for my sister :)

I went for a walk out in my suburb one night. If you can show me a single Honda Civic or Mazda sedan where the hood starts at 5' off the ground, I will bow down and say you have a point. Note that I mean the grill ended, and hood started, at the top of my shoulders. I'm six feet tall; how the hell has this happened, and why is it considered acceptable?

Until then, I (and presumably many others) will view trucks as objectively more dangerous, and contributing to a less walkable city. I recognize going under a vehicle is a bad time regardless of how tall it is, but my girlfriend can't hide right in front of a Toyota RAV-4 or Audi Q5.
Having known somebody on methadone... it's not great. It's just as addictive as heroin, but instead of making you feel good, it makes you feel like shit. And then if you don't take the drug that makes you feel like shit, you go into withdrawal again.

If the goal is to punish somebody for the rest of their life for having fun on an illegal substance, then mission accomplished. If the goal is to remediate the user so that they can be a productive member of society, then it's an utter failure. Sometimes people don't get hooked on the methadone itself, but it's a very delicate balancing act and not at all guaranteed
To contemplate words for a moment, the phrase is "pique my interest".

"Pique" is an odd word. "Pique my interest" is a positive thing but "a fit of pique" or just feeling piqued are negative.

Vigilantism is scary stuff.

I was on reddit and ran across a video that the submission claimed to be of someone poisoning local pets. The video showed someone pouring something on the ground from a distance. We never see what it is.

Later we get a video where the camera person is screaming at the person they are recording. The person just walks away as the camera person follows them yelling.

I was a bit horrified that when I expressed in some skepticism I was meet with a lot of arguments like.

"Why didn't they stop to talk if they're innocent?"

"They didn't deny it."

"You know people really do this."

"You don't have to defend a dog killer you know."

People just took the text claims at face value despite the video showing nothing that it claimed, because they were upset by the claim in the text.

Apps that just have text and a photo, not even an image of a crime, people will believe it whole hog.

A during riots in Minneapolis a local social media apps and sites had rumors spread fast about drive by shootings by people on pickup trucks with assault rifles. These rumor spread several nights in a row despite it never appearing in the news and it being obvious that the previous night's rumors were 100% false.

One city council member spread the rumors of a full on Klan rally in a park with robes hoods and all... a completely absurd claim, folks bought it and spread it.

So back to the app, we have an app whose audience wants to hear this kind of information. That's a scary audience.
That's great to hear! I might be willing to take that penalty depending on the size of the project to avoid any future incompatibilities.
