I love Marathon Supreme tires. They're lighter but I haven't seen a puncture on them; on the other side I experienced breaks in their sides (probably because of clipping a sidewalk or other object) twice.

I usually ride 32mm or 35mm. You can reach a decent pressure and still ride comfortably.

Then... you have never engaged with actual history?

Historians are extremely aware of the difficulty of determining what is true, and they certainly have no problem engaging with the messiness of it all.
Ask HN: Why do lenders offer long-term fixed rate mortgages in the US?
In the UK you typically get fixed terms of 2 years or 5 years, and shop around for a new deal once that term expires. The norm in America seems to be 25 year fixed rate contracts. What is the systemic difference between the UK and US such that lenders are willing to accept this interest rate risk?

Yeah but then you have to do the research that you have all the correct drivers and so forth. Also with time things such as harddrives deteriorate. And also by your same logic. If you are able to get computers for free then you would also be able to get the keyboards, mouses and displays for free right?
Man, I don't know. I have the Onyx Poke 3 and I find the software pretty janky. For instance, in order to install a dictionary, I have to jump through a whole series of hoops to download one to a PC and then upload/install it on the tablet. I could install the Kindle app (after I enable the Google Play Store), but then I might as well buy a Kindle. In order to upload epub or pdf documents to the Poke3, I have to interface through a browser on a page with a very limited interface. They do not have upload by email, bluetooth, or any other convenient interface with my phone. All in all, it's just felt like a half-baked product to me.

I'm not spinning out but I am spinning faster than I can sustain / is efficient. I'm looking for the next gear basically. Spinning out is much faster and requires and descent (for me at least). Based on Strava I'm not that strong. Top 40% maybe. If I was racing I'd be cat 4. My observation is more to do with stronger riders than I am. Once you get to a certain speed/ftp all the considerations like rolling resistance, gearing, aero etc become much more obvious. If you are averaging 29.5km/h like in the test you might think optimisations don't make much difference but if you average 40kmh+ you will know they do.

They even note this in the article "If you ride much faster, then it’s possible that wider tires have a little more wind resistance, but the difference will be so small that it’ll get lost in all the other factors that influence your bike’s speed. On the other hand, if you ride slower, then the advantage of wider tires will be even greater."

>If an intervention is shown to be effective in treating COVID-19, the design allows the replacement of the placebo group with the effective intervention.

Is't that kind of bad?

Say, if by pure chance, there is an intervention that is equally effective as Ivermectin, wouldn't it cause the whole thing to zero out, or show very little benefit for the Ivermectin?

EDIT:

They also say..

> It would not take much of a clinical trial to know whether that was true or not, and almost every physician would be able to spot really quickly whether there was a drug that miraculously was helping people. But we’re not getting that feedback from physicians

Isn't that the exact kind of feedback that is being neglected right now?

Twitter nearly killed my startup
"Among the new requirements on the project was this: Project must not be sponsored by a commercial company or organization (monetary or with employees paid to work on the project)"

So what happens when more than one of these "developers of tools you use to be paid" demands the same? You get Mark Zuckerberg shouting "Who run Bartertown?!" at some poor project maintainer.

Edit: It just occurred to me that the point of confusion might be my reference to the 90s era US welfare program, and not Master Blaster... basically the donut hole described the gulf between how much somebody on welfare got paid while not working and how much they'd need to get paid in order to cover the loss of access to the program (because having a job, among other things that help to lift one out of poverty, made you ineligible). The really bad part has more to do with the how unlikely it was for somebody in such a situation to ever be able to demand such a rate without first developing a work history and gaining experience - which guaranteed no positive change without first assuming a massive amount of risk. The same phenomenon would occur here, where taking a single dollar or accepting a pull request from an address with a corporate domain would have to be weighed against the cost of all tooling in use by a project suddenly demanding money. It would be a massive disincentive to incremental improvement, where the only rational move is to either abandon all such tooling (which, ironically, very likely depends on other open source projects in a similar situation) or turn down every offer that doesn't fully cover all potential costs.

I've heard a story about an exercise involving British and American warships where at one point ships from the two different navies collided. It was a very minor incident- no deaths or serious injuries, and relatively little damage to the ships.

The next morning the American ship that had been involved in the collision was nowhere to be found. The British admiral asked the Americans where it was, and was told that the captain had reported the collision and been ordered to return to port for an investigation.

He was shocked- earlier in his career, a ship he commanded had been involved in a similar incident. The letter he received from a senior admiral in response to it began with "Today, you became a better sailor..."

Groceries can have expiration dates you might want to check, and produce and fruit quality that varies. Or frozen food that you might not be sure of how long it's been sitting outside of the freezer.

Also, there are so many grocery stores (where I live at least, and in all suburban US areas I've been in), that you must be driving by one at some point in the week. The transportation costs are nil, so the only difference is the time you spend in the grocery store. Which is also very low if you're familiar with the store.

Therefore, the only missing variable is how much you trust the worker that is walking around picking things up, and for me, that is very little, especially if there is a price premium with picking up a grocery order.
The great tragedy of philosophy is that every time it gives some useful answers the topic ceases to be philosophical.

Mathematics and logic were initially developed by philosophers. Modern science is a clear result of natural philosophy.

The sad end result is that the remaining problems in philosophy are the ones that will probably never have a satisfactory answer.

The Supernote does come with slightly higher input latency but not by much – I got used to it pretty quickly and honestly don't really notice it anymore.

Chickens used for eggs live in tiny cages that fit themselves only. It's disgusting.

Hopefully health authorities and regulators will start to question if those places, besides unethical, are potential factories of virus strains.

You mention the ecological requirements of giving a chicken the proper larger space, which poses the question: maybe eggs for mass consumption just aren't ecological at all.
Your anecdote is amusing, but I hope you’re not using it as an example to support your claim that Rust’s static linking should be considered when choosing tools.
It's time to weaken the legal privacy protections of users, but strengthen the technical protection (encryption) and strengthen the requirement to notify users whose data has been accessed.

I'd like so see police able to access any unencrypted data for any court sanctioned purpose, but within 6 weeks I'd like the owner of that data notified that the police have used their data and the reasons why.

Then people can vote with their feet and use only encrypted services for things...

yeah that's why I said just kidding. basically you would need to host your sha hashes somewhere else, which is probably a little bit wierd. also sub resource integrity, only works with sub resources ;-) (and I think sub resource integrity is stupid, because the future is only useful for external resources, which you should trust?! I would never trust external resources)
Accept that, in the case of your append-only log, you need to trust that someone is applying that lack of read permission to themselves. And that they do it well.
>How about actually supporting the European Tech industry instead of just adding endless bureaucracy?

How about doing both the first while also ensuring that european law is actually being followed? So far US monopolists have relied on being in bed with Irish lawmakers to avoid the GDPR fines.
Seems interesting, and seems the developer has made good progress. This would potentially open up AirDrop for Android too. That would be great!
Doing this will make website hits tank, significantly (unless there's lock-in). Then anyone looking at the stats will ask for the change to be reverted.
I keep reading that reading stuff on a paper or e-ink display is easier on the eyes than a monitor. Certainly makes sense if the comparison is to a CRT but compared to a standard LCD? Are there any medical studies that confirm this? As far as I know modern life exposes us to far little brightness, causing myopia for a lot of people. If anything a very bright backlight display should probably be better for our eyes...

I wonder if flatpak will (hopefully) become the standard for linux apps in one or two years time, and if in 20 years we'll just be able to go back and install the flatpaks and have solved that problem.

Valve seems to be betting on it, as Steam on Linux seems to use runtimes that are very similar to flatpaks.

You are absolutely right, that the European Parliament (EP), does not write legislation alone.

Though the "nothing will happen" is at best pessimistic outlook, at worst obfuscates the relationship dynamics in between the European Parliament and the Commission.

EP's resolution are a strong signal taken by the European Commission in the legislative framework. The stronger the margin of the vote at the EP with more Political Groups, the more likely the item enters legislative drafting/amending queue at the Commission.

I remember when them and other news media pilloried Iceland for not honouring foreign debts taken out by private Icelandic banks during the recession. It was going to be the end of country since no one would loan them money in the future. Iceland was one of the first countries to emerge the recession.
Used perf record for getting CPU efficiency numbers, and it worked very well, however to be able to reliably trace the code, I had to compile it in debug mode with no optimizations, and run with a single thread. That combination increased the execution time considerably.

Some of the Matrix and solver code coming from Eigen is heavily optimized for SIMD operations and using it with -O0 is just painful.

Moreover, I had to verify its memory sanity and used Valgrind for that. Using a full size problem meant it had to churn for days to finish execution.

Having deadlines doesn't always help in this stuff.

Depends on what you mean with "BROKEN". Breaking changes actually break other people's code, tutorials, documentation, tooling and developer knowledge often for very questionable gains.

There are many projects that are relied on by thousands, but they keep pushing breaking changes on a regular basis without providing tangible improvements. This is especially true for tooling, frameworks etc. for web development.
> The study’s authors tested cosmetics made by dozens of brands, including L’Oréal, Ulta, Mac, Cover Girl, Clinique, Maybelline, Smashbox, Nars, Estée Lauder and more.

> However, the study didn’t reveal which brands use the toxic chemicals because the authors said they did not want to “pick on” the companies involved. The Guardian could not ask companies for comment because it is unclear which use PFAS.

Hmmmmnnn ... Given that the study chose not to "pick on" brands by name, it seems to me to be clumsy of TheGuardian to mention only some names from the full list of brands tested.
I think the problem is that we're thinking about everything in terms of money. The primary purpose of publicly subsidized innovations should be to make life easier and better, not to earn money for the government. We have taxes for the latter.
Indeed, Scala code quality varies a lot based on developer / team / org. Code can be several different flavors of crap, but it can also be magnificently good in the hands of strong developers, and the quality is definitely scalable to team / org, with the right attitude and hiring practices.

Thankfully the Scala teams I worked on have been great, and to be fair the issues we did encounter were mostly from developers having little Scala experience being lost without mentorship. I'm yet to encounter the stereotypical overengineers or FP nazis, I think the fashion for those attitudes might be more in the past these days.
I never thought touchscreens would ever be feasible on all phones sold (It was just too expensive 12-15 years ago). Nor did I think Facebook or Youtube would ever solve their scaling problems (communication was all one to one or one to many back then, few people could afford to broadcast). But here we are.

Metcalfe's Law (and Reed's Law) state every time some new development gets added to the networked world the value addition may scale geometrically or even exponentially because of how many people get exposed to it thanks to the network...when that kind of growth happens all kinds of unimaginable things are possible.

It was very hard for me to read. On a large screen, there are several animations visible at once all competing for my attention. A lot of the big caption text is invisible after the first line or two so I had to open browser dev tools to work out what it was supposed to say. All the effects on the visuals mean it's difficult to read meaningful data from them either.

That's a very interesting study, but I think it's quite spurious to connect this result to media quality/partisanship the way you do. Certainly the study doesn't make this connection. After all, surveys tend to find that Fox News viewers are less informed about domestic and international events than consumers of other news media (one study found them less informed than people who did not watch the news at all). So I don't think this effect is caused by media.

Haidt's study uses his five moral foundations model, where one's moral foundations are characterized by five dimensions: harm/care, fairness/reciprocity, ingroup/loyalty, authority/respect, and purity/sanctity. The first two are called "individualizing foundations" and the last three are called "binding foundations".

Haidt's findings in other studies (which generalize beyond just the US or the West) are that people across the political spectrum care about the individualizing foundations, but progressives care more about these foundations than conservatives. But progressives care much less about the binding foundations.

With this in mind, I don't think it's too surprising that conservatives have an easier time estimating the viewpoint of progressives, since the moral foundations of progressives are not alien to conservatives, they are just weighted differently. Whereas for progressives, the moral foundations of conservatives can feel utterly alien and inexplicable, especially if they tend to have their social interactions in a progressive bubble.

(Also, be mindful that the population sample of the study is nowhere close to a random sample of the population. The sample is over 60% female, overwhelmingly young (median age is 28), and liberal participants outnumbered moderates and conservatives combined. Since it's an online survey, there's a reasonable chance that you're mostly reaching urban people, which tend to live in progressive bubbles. Conservatives who live in areas that are mostly progressive may understand progressives better than those who live in conservative bubbles. The study acknowledges this in the discussion section. The result might still hold up, but the effect might be exaggerated by the sample.)
