> 133ft @ 11% is a speed bump to most competitive or avid amateur cyclists.

I've been a competitive-ish triathlete for five years, and I have to disagree.

From "The Climbing Cyclist, Gradients and cycling, an introduction" [1]:

* 0%: A flat road
* 1-3%: Slightly uphill but not particularly
challenging. A bit like riding into the wind.
* 4-6%: A manageable gradient that can cause fatigue
over long periods.
* 7-9%: Starting to become uncomfortable for seasoned
riders, and very challenging for new climbers.
* 10%-15%: A painful gradient, especially if maintained
for any length of time
* 16%+: Very challenging for riders of all abilities.
Maintaining this sort of incline for any
length of time is very painful.

I'm not sure vegans would touch this, but they've always been more akin to a religion than a diet. Vegetarians would largely go for this I think.

I'd be very happy if could get meat that was cheaper, safer, cleaner, and didn't have animal cruelty issues. This is the future.

Also does anyone else here remember the beef vats in Call to Power, the civilization knockoff game? It really feels like I'm living in the future when I read articles like this.
Engineers aren't going to be able to stop anything on their own. Someone needs to FUND engineers to solve the problem. We don't magically conjure and implement global-scale solutions.
Theoretically it's true (but again the burden is simple transferred to someone else).

But in reality, as a BI Developer (prev as a data analyst), what I really don't want to do is a join by timestamp (and a userId), pretty much the only way to join two "subsystems" that are not interconnected.

Example:
Analysts want to know what's the coin balance when player starts purchasing energy bundles. Now that they don't know about each other so the telemetry only has one common field: userId. Eventually either BI developer (who develops DWH/View/etc.) or DA has to write a join by userId and timestamp to get the most accurate coin balance when player purchases an energy bundle.
Notice, however, that pedestrian fatalities (further down on the same page) have soared. They do not share in the safety features that benefit the motorists who kill them.
You grow by knowing more without having to think first. That means that your first ideas are better ideas, and you arrive at solid solutions faster.

This applies in the small (writing a few lines of code) and in the large (designing an architecture).
the insight i was able to take away from this is to consider the competitors as 'free advertising' for the product.

I guess this works as long as one's brand is acknowledged as the de-facto product.
Is it really that related?

Also, it's always disturbing to read essays with such a strong undercurrent of men-vs-women, literal-war-of-the-sexes thinking, replete with evo-psych just-so stories. Men of the future will abandon womankind for the convenience of gynoids? Women will make babies with each other, but as some sort of evo-psych-needs-fulfillment instead of a happy technological development for gay couples? It's such a radically pessimistic and simplistic view of humanity, and its unspoken assumptions and logical leaps are demeaning to all individuals of all sexes.

I won't claim to know why the non-homogenous, outlier population of sexual predators might be deterred or placated by adult entertainment (the main article already raises a number of explanations for the statistical shift that are unrelated to the sort of...evo-psych-needs-theory in the comment link) but it's unwise to trust anyone that comes up to you saying "I know the exact reason and this is it!"

EDIT: Also videogames are apparently wish fulfillment for the Y-chromosome's desire to be a polygamous warlord / prolific rapist, despite caveman chieftain harems being a social construct that only existed for a nanosecond on the human evolutionary timescale, if it ever did exist outside of lurid fiction. Poe's law is beginning to kick in.
It's an opera with various songs. For four of these songs, content ID reported a melody match with a composition. Keep in mind that compositions and performances have separate copyrights and often separate owners! Compositions have to be registered separately in content ID. https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/2822002?hl=en

What happened was that each song was correctly identified by its melody and matched with an entry in the composition database, even though the compositions are clearly public domain.
No, it is problem for any base.
For example decimal system can represent 1/5,1/4, 1/8 and 1/2 properly. But, what about 1/3, 1/7, 1/6, 1/9 as decimal numbers with finite number of digits.

This will be a problem for any base representation when it has to be boxed in finite number of digits or memory.

One good thing is decimal is widely used format, so it is good to go with that for representing stuff. But, it is more of an accidental advantage that decimal has. Nothing more.

Ehhhh, that may not be the email address that the invited user prefers to use (or may not even know what email it was).

For example, in my last (extremely large) company, IT would helpfully create multiple email addresses for us (UUID plus firstname.lastname) and you could also ask them to create one that you're used to using. So if someone emailed me at work, it was not obvious which email they used and if I then needed to use those credentials to login on a different device, I wouldn't know what to use.
ECS is really just OOP with dynamic multiple inheritance: an object can inherit from multiple base "classes" (with "components" providing the data and "systems" providing the code) and this inheritance structure can be changed at runtime, by adding/removing components. Everything else (struct-of-arrays vs. array-of-structs) is just low-level implementation details.

When I implemented a variation on ECS for a game I'm building, I did exactly as you suggest, re, message passing: components receive and respond to messages but their implementation is hidden.
all knowledge includes quality and crap. The average citizen doesn't have the tools or training to discern the two.

The average citizen shouldn't need college level statistics and logical fallacy training to lead a comparably normal/healthy life.

But maybe there is an argument to be made to completely revamp k-12 with the sole goal of training people to be able to discern good and bad information.

Its not easy, plenty of professorial researchers fall for some of the same traps.
You skipped the line right after this which completely changed the meaning:

If someone is going to naively brute-force your login screen, it's safe to assume they're going to look at the sign-up password requirements anyway. Nobody is just going to throw the whole unicode character set at your password field and go from 1 to infinity characters in order to guess your passwords.

More likely a hashed table gets leaked and they just compare it with existing rainbow tables. Password hints do nothing to protect against that, while inconveniencing your real users.

For a real user trying to guess their password, providing hints (that already match your signup rules) might take them down from 10 wrong guesses to 2 or 3, a huge improvement. For brute-forcing bots, it might take them from 5 years to 4.5 years per password. So what?

If it's another human trying to guess someone's password, again, the requirements are already there in the sign up screen. Also, it's probably easier just to spearphish them with a fake email or try to answer their (not-so) secret questions based on public records and whatnot.
MS wanted the web tied to IE and Windows, but I don’t recall them trying to kill the web or positioning themselves to take a percentage of all web commerce.
I used to self censor, like cutting audio. “Sonova——itch” “mother f——er” and “Oh, S—-t”. It would get confused grins. Started when we had our first kid and they copied our swearing. However, I swear a lot due to work - there was a swearing culture tied to being authentic or something and I picked it back up all these years later.
Have you never heard of the little boy who cried wolf? If 99% of the time when the things you say aren't even lies but just straight up rejection of reality altogether, yes your reputation as a truth teller might suffer.
Speeding Up Traditional CGI Render Schedules with a Convolutional Neural Network
What optimizations would hypothetically be allowed and what optimizations the compiler actually has enough information to be allowed to perform are very different.

A compiler is hypothetically allowed to convert array-of-struct into struct-of-array, but to actually be allowed to do that it would need to understand every single use of pointers in the entire program. That is extremely challenging, if not impossible.
Most developed countries have great chocolate, the floor of chocolate from America is lower than the floor of European chocolate, even though the ceilings are about the same. So, on average, European chocolate is better.
We're not talking about mom and pop, here, really. This is presumably a population that is making money on YouTube. Yes, $1000 is a lot to the average person, but as a business expense it's really not much. And getting your channel banned is career (or business) ending.

So? Viking I entered Mars orbit in July 1976 for the bicentennial. Of course a country spending literally billions is going to time it well with local goals if it makes sense.

IMO, if anything you get bonus points for achieving goals like this on a a timetable you set, being an additional constraint.
> The problem is the bureaucratic class.. ie those qualified to run these things all have similar views, regardless of party

This begs the question.

> Unfortunately, when you do that, the ruling class doesn't like it and then they try to impeach you.

This reads as unfounded conspiracy. Your thesis is that impeachment by republicans was both a real threat to trump, but still failed, as a threat to step in line? Why are they still clinging to him as head of party then?
The inclusive components approach is rather beautiful. No frameworks (so it works in all frameworks that are standards compliant), and it is accessible and semantic:

Github's elements collection (custom elements/web components) includes several beautifully implemented `details` based approaches to UI problem:

Doing this stuff in React is really quite over-complicating it (and making it practically less accessible/reusable). React is uniquely bad for the web among the most popular frameworks:

"It happened to Manhattan too; another city I love. It belongs to the banks and uber wealthy now."

It happens pretty much anywhere that becomes desirable to live for the rich.

I'm not really sure what could be done about it, since the rich are so good at getting what they want.
Ask HN: Could Microsoft restrict access to file backups via Microsoft Account?
I read many accounts of Google locking out users from their Google Accounts and providing no available recourse, so I moved to Microsoft OneDrive and an external drive backup system.

However, with the recent release of Windows 11, and the ensuing discussion around the always-online account structure required to use W11 machines, I realized that my locally-stored XLSXs, DOCXs, OneNote Notebooks, etc. are all tagged with my Microsoft Account information.

This leads me to ask: if Microsoft were to ban my account [1], could they then stop me from opening my backup files on a new machine, even if I made a new account?

[1]: I have not heard any stories of this happening to Windows users, but given the current tech landscape I don't want to take any chances.
None of that will make any difference. What will work is strong families and traditional morality.

That is unacceptable and therefore things will continue to get worse.
>Anyone who has ever cultured cells on any scale can attest to the amount of water needed at any scale in terms of washing, rinsing, diluting, sterilizing, feeding, etc.

There is an enormous difference in scale and efficiency between a lab scale process and an industrial one. Researchers (myself included) do what gets the job done quickly, not necessarily balancing the budget at the same time.
It's a hard problem. I'd like to imagine factory meat will free up land for use as wild nature preserves, which are the only real way to, well, preserve nature.

But land has many other alternative uses. Until we value every one of those alternative uses less than we value preserving nature itself, we'll tend to use the land for something else.

Of course it depends on the land in question. Any land that is currently good for grazing and nothing should immediately be freed up once grazing stops being economical. Unfortunately, the land like that is not the most biodiverse -- it's rocky scrub, not forest -- but I'll be happy to see it added to the set of lands we don't want to mess with.

cost of something != it’s environmental impact.

so you would have more expensive imports, maybe. and you would move to produce things locally. also, the cheap imports are cheap because there is a human price (ie basically slavery) paid at the origin. if you produced things ethically they would be more expensive rendering the navy useless as you would once again shift to producing locally.

also, since when does the us navy provide this service? i mean maybe it provides it, but i have a hard time believing it protects all the shipping lanes all the time (ie other nations surely protect their trading routes)
I wish I could say the same. Even getting a complex SVG to render correctly can be a pain, and WEBGL / WebP support is non existent. It’s been awhile though, perhaps I should take another look at the updates they’ve made since.

A Lack of Covid-19 Genomes Could Prolong the Pandemic
Ok great there’s an easy way to solve this issue: consumer research.

If consumer research shows that most consumers are aware Champagne always comes from Champagne, and they consider sparkling white wine from Portugal to be “not Champagne” - then keep the restrictions.

In the other hand if most consumers aren’t aware of the distinction, or don’t care, then it’s simply protectionism.

This could create different rules in different places, but that’s just because different consumers require different protections.

But the EU doesn’t seem to care about whether consumer confusion is actually happening.

That’s ironic, as the EU prides itself on serving consumers via regulations.

The lack of consumer research and consumer advocacy is very “un-EU.”

Edit: Champagne might not be the best example, because geography does matter. Different soil produces different grapes.

Edit 2: What is misleading about including the place of production in the phrase “Made in Champagne, France”. “Acme Fine China, made in the USA” makes sense.
That's a good place to work since it seems to get less attention. It's clear that getting as many things as we can on the grid is part of the solution since the grid is easier to transition to non-carbon energy than a bunch of mobile engines, but the grid is a lot less efficient than it could be.
I've considered stuff like this a lot lately, as there seems to be a lot of hypocrisy amongst commonly held positions (including mine).

I find it odd that people who truly believe in evolution, and that humans are just smarter animals, and that animals are also capable of sensing pain and emotion, can be deeply concerned (rightfully) about things such as trans rights, gender discrimination, etc. for humans (that are very high on "Maslow's hierarchy"), and yet are perfectly content to pay for meat they know was the product of an industry which is pretty horrific in its treatment of billions of cows, pigs, etc. a year.

Similarly, I have friends who regularly rail against the "wealthy" and how it's immoral to have so much money when people are suffering in poverty. Then the same day will go spend $200 on a handbag or $20 on a cocktail or $1000 on a weekend getaway to Hawaii without blinking, knowing full well those unnecessary purchases cost as much as several meals or vaccines for those less fortunate people that the "rich" should be taxed to help.

How do so many people act contradictory to their stated positions? Are they dishonest with themselves? Haven't thought it through? Or do people just want the world to be a better place... as long as it's not an inconvenience for them personally?
Neither buying or selling can be done overnight, but usually takes at minumum weeks, probably months to do fully. Bitcoins take seconds.
Yeah exactly, but in fairness I think it can sometimes be legitimately difficult to know who's doing the work. Sometimes the tool maker's contribution really does setup an environment where the next step is inevitable. Scientists have always known that the context of their work - their peers' publications - provide the springboard to 'ask the right question'.

Our tendency to anthropomorphize computers certainly contributes to getting confused about who did the work and who deserves credit, but humans have always had a hard time giving credit where credit is due when multiple people are involved, even outside of cases where contributors are excluded or snubbed. We humans tend to like clean simple narratives about breakthrough geniuses. We don't as much like listening to or trying to explain long histories of incremental improvements by many that culminate in a big change.
Among silly comments on HN, this is sillyness of a 14 year old. Ya can't be serious.

I love meat, and don't have a problem with eating slaughtered animals, but I still might pay a premium for these kinds of products if the environmental benefits hold up and the taste is close enough. I think there's a massive premium market. Even more so if they can start producing speciality products that are "better" than real meat along some other axis (e.g. embedded flavourings; more perfect distribution of fat etc.)

This would be generally true in Australia. Land value for 700sqm where I live is $700k. An older character house or luxury/new build would add value, but almost anything else would have minimal value. A house on a typical block seems to rise in value faster than a unit (say, one of 6-8 on a block) where land is a smaller part of its valuation and redevelopment potential is wrapped up with the wider group.

That must be some kind of "new OOP", since the "old OOP" is messaging, local retention, and protection and hiding of state-process, and extreme late-binding of all things. At least according to Alan Kay, who wrote this verbatim.

To wit, encapsulation and abstraction existed outside of OOP (for example, Modula had it before), inheritance is not a necessary feature for OOP (Self doesn't have it), and the O in SOLID doesn't apply to Smalltalk and Self.

This was just an idle conversation we were having at work. Imagine that one day you wake up and you've been sent back in time, where you are now a researcher at DARPA in the early 1960s. You've got the influence to effect fundamental changes in the next sixty years of the Internet's history, and can make your changes any time in the next sixty years - but you know that as soon as you change one thing in history, you'll be sent back to 2021, to continue living in the world you have wrought.
