Interesting - I finally popped over to look - and I don't see a terms / acceptable use page...

I always do those peeks and ctr-f -? porn, adult

then look for what I call the anchor.fm/cancel culture language.. and if I see that then I move on.

So now I wonder if playboy porn is okay like vimeo, or if it's choose-your-own bouncer like peertube, or what.

popped over again for more info - clicked on pricing - saw something about "stripe" - so the content is to be beholden to the visa/mc/stripe censors?

I think paypal is less prude at this point.

sadly I think a thing like that that uses alt-coins is more needed - if you have to play within the terms/censors of youtube anyway, why bother doing something alternative? It's just gonna cost more time and money.

Love the idea - prefer a version that can cater to non-cancel culture / adult or whatnot would have more staying power.
Yeah, there was even an off-the-shelf unit to do ice storage in residential homes called an Ice Bear. Looks like they went bankrupt a while ago though.
For rooftop you’re not paying for the solar, you’re paying for the scaffolding, design and fitting for your particular roof, retrofitted electric work, marketing, permits etc.
I would just like to take this opportunity to post these screenshots I took over the past 2 days:

I am surprised by just how many ads for drugs I get.

They know their audience.

But still. Lots of ads for testosterone, growth hormone, and now ketamine.
Both referred to in my link.
I think you're skepticism is shared by the majority of people. But I think a small fraction of people have the optimism to set and strive for a big goal (eg becoming a billionaire) and an even smaller subset reach that goal. Thus the "1 percent" concept. I like the idea "you miss 100% of the shots you don't take".
Where does the zume fit?
I really dislike the suggestion "just have better self control". It's you versus an army of machine learning experts all tuning algorithm on personal data about you to learn your weaknesses and bait you into spending more time on the app.

Blaming the consumer ignores the adversarial role that the apps play in our lives.
You also gained a comfort level poking around in moderately complex system that could break if you did something wrong, and then force you to step through problem solving to fix it. This is a very important skill. (Though it's also important to understand when potentially breaking something, even temporarily, is low stakes vs. something to be avoided at all costs)

It's a skill I like to call a "video game mentality" that I think was probably influential in the rise of technology: video games gave players the ability to push buttons and experiment in all kinds of ways with a technological system but in a very low stakes environment.

I don't think I would have been nearly as comfortable poking around and tweaking system variables in my first computers running Windows 3.X and 95 if I didn't have years of experience poking around in other pixel-based environments in the form of videogames. I would break things, panic, realize that whatever it was, it was fixable, go through trial and error, learn to find other people and resources to help, fix the problem, and do it all over again at some point.
Not a new thing. In fact, a while back this guy[1] sold out the Nano extension to suspect elements and made money out of it. The new owners turned that extension into malware. The original author who sold it then started closing the github issues that were raised, made the repo read only and fled. Was discussed a while back here in HN https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24803740 and the malware details here

Well you are considered transphobic for disagreeing with the twitter trans community about anything. So I wouldn't put much weight into that.
I met her online.

And it’s only a recent development. The older I get, the less extroverted I am. When I was in school and early in university, I tended to stay out till noon the next day. Then it changed to 5 in the morning. And nowadays, I go to bed at a time I used to start thinking about going out ;)
I use Brave and love my ad-free life.
It makes sense for solar as well because it produces a peak at noon but not much in the early evening when a.c. demand is still very high.
Eh. There are a lot of ads. A lot of it is nonsense.

But: there are some diamonds in the rough. Do I really need another novelty tank top? No. Would I rather have an ad for a novelty tank top versus going back to the TV days and getting an ad for vitamins for senior citizens? No—give me my targeted ads, versus ads for drugs for old people.
Advertising works at a subconscious level. The more you see a product, the more you subconsciously learn to like and trust the product, especially if you are being exposed to that product in a trusted context (popular celebrity posing with it, etc).

I wish I had saved the link, but I read a study that showed people consistently underestimated how likely they were to buy a product after seeing an ad. They would buy it at much higher rates than the control group yet still assert that they were aware of the ad and not allowing it to influence their decisions.
Not only that, I made it a point to contact those companies and tell them why I won’t buy their products.
$1/W is not a bad price!

For 25 years, at 20% capacity factor, that will generate 96kWh a day, for a total of 876MWh. That's 2.3 c/kWh, not accounting for the time value of money. Call it 4c or 5c/kWh, if you take out a loan rather than paying up front. I dont know of any utility thag charges that little for electricity.

Of course, 96kWh/day is pretty high on the curve of household energy consumption, so most US customers wont get your economy of scale.
I recommend you open any internet browser, go to the search bar, and type "lobbying". Even better, search for "apple lobbying" and you might find extensive examples of apple influencing policymakers for their own benefit. You seem to have repeatedly missed the point in this thread.
Note that TypeScript uses subtyping to implement structural types, which is a different approach.
The ads, like on YouTube, are getting unbearable. And this time you can’t even block them
Facebook seems to put a lot of effort into making ads hard to block too.
These things aren't really part of a graphical user interface.
> My take away was that startups benefit tremendously from a data advisor role to get the data competency, as well as the educational and cultural benefits, but realistically the data infrastructure and analytics at that scale should have been bought not built.

I really like your takeaway about data teams at tech companies. They try to make "data" a core competency of their business, at huge cost for fixed value.

I also appreciated the very subtle implication that the OP is shrouding empire building under an otherwise informative growth story.
It's relatively easy to capture the carbon dioxide produced by cement production, though. Relatively few, relatively large, point sources where the CO2 is in pipes already.

Low-carbon alternatives to Portland cement are being researched and piloted, too. Just a matter of money and the learning curve, the same as with electric power production.
If you are interested in using a tracker, I highly recommend trying Sunvox[1]. It's an Impulse Trackers style pattern based sequencer. It's a surprisingly high quality modular synthesizer. It's also multi-platform: Windows, macOS, Linux (x86, x86_64, ARM, ARM64), iOS, Android, Windows CE.

This wouldn’t be anywhere near as bad a problem as it is if the UK would just build more housing, lots more housing.

Both house-prices and rents are high compared to median income because demand outstrips supply. I understand and sympathise with arguments for rent-control, and some form of quality regulation is definitely needed, but in the long-term rent-control introduces even more perverse incentives and is still ultimately just another work-around for the lack of supply.

Build. More. Houses.

It’s that simple.

Heck, build more super-expensive luxury housing without any provision for a minimum % of affordable homes - because more supply at the high-end means buyers themselves will shift upwards and today’s luxury-homes become tomorrow’s affordable homes.

If there needs to be regulation, we need to regulate NIMBYism.
The product preceded this company. It has been advertised on infomercials since at least the 90s and possibly earlier.

I do not mean to pry, but you don't by any chance happen to have six fingers on your right hand?
In the short run sure. But electricity isn't going to get cheaper. Think of it like prepaying your electricity bill for 15 years, and then after that, it's free.
Something changed about Instagram recently, maybe it’s just because I changed how I used it. I used to only follow people I know, but then I added a few accounts that post Simpsons screenshots and clips. Now my feed is overrun with meme accounts, other Simpsons accounts I don’t follow, similar accounts for Futurama, Seinfeld, etc.

Admittedly, some are amusing sometimes, but it feels likes it’s turned into 9gag or something. It’s like if you follow one instance of something Instagram immediately assumes you exclusively want to see every single thing like that.
I am one of those people you are describing, and I actually 100% agree with your assessment! But I think I was fair: as I said in original reply elsewhere (not this thread), it may be Stockholm syndrome, but once you’re in you can’t help but be all-in. It is necessary to remain sane, and thus, it changes you.

The only useful semi-rational heuristic I can ascribe to my general stance is that: before I had kids, life was objectively much easier, but I had many regrets and suffered greatly from causes of my own invention. After having kids, my kids are the cause of my suffering and I have no regrets about it. Biology assists you there because it makes you love them even though they are frequently the cause of your suffering.

One of the other _pragmatic_ reasons for having kids that I didn’t actually notice until after having kids, is that old people seem to often (but not always) become confused, lonely, and out of touch with modern realities and culture. Family creates, for many, a lifelong bond that bucks this tendency. Of course there are other stressful bonding scenarios that do this, like for combat vets, but seldom are they so cross-generational. The perspective shifts are also quite powerful, and there’s an amazing amount of high quality children’s media (especially books) that are no less powerful for being written in an ELI5 way…sorta like how good coders write lots of good code easily and great coders write only a tiny bit of code that seems totally obvious to everyone upon reading, but that was never done before. Anyway, most of that stuff I know I would have missed.

Along similar lines, you get exposed to a much more diverse community: the parents of your children’s friends, and various other child-centered communities. Almost all of my closest friends today, I only met as a side-effect of having kids. There’s probably a counterfactual for the childless but I haven’t lived that life and don’t know anything about it!

There are countless pragmatic reasons not to have kids. I think when people ask, “do you regret this life,” it is their lizard-brain kicking in, nudging then towards “yes it is time.” For those of us who have had them, our own lizard-brains kick in with their own reply. An ancient call and response.

After all, all the people smart enough not to have kids never achieved offspring to carry on that lifestyle, and likewise for the pack/community that discourages ever having kids.

As an atheist, my respect goes out to the “achildists” for bucking the trend: it is a dying breed by definition. As a “childist,” like some sort religious nut, all I can do when confronted with the question “do you regret having kids” is share what is in my heart: having kids is tough but I don’t regret it.

——

If someone was asking: “should I have kids?” then the answer might be very different! I’d probably say: “…no, why would you want to do that??” If someone is wondering about regrets, though, then they either have kids and have regrets or they are already feeling the call and asking for a lifeline to resist it. In either case, “sorry bub, your lizard-brain won, it’s too late, but here’s what you can look forward to.”
My brother did civil war reenacting pretty seriously (he had a bit part as a union soldier running across the battlefield and getting shot dead in the film Gettysburg, among other things) and he told me that a horse would get spooked by a coffee mug if it hadn't seen one before.

It gives you a whole new appreciation for HEMA and what it took to train destriers.

He's saying it helps cool the roof. You can 100% see the difference between a roof with solar and one without. The one with solar will be cooler.

They think they've figured out why some people clot now:

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-021-03744-4

But there's always going to be risks of complications and reaction.

What bothers me is instead of developing a test to determine who is at risk "science" and "policy makers" write it off as "well only a very very tiny percent of people will have a reaction/death so it's acceptable".

Well no, not really acceptable if you are that 1% (I happen to be one of the 1% with very bad reaction for months now, trust me you feel like someone has let down your entire life by not looking out for your situation and writing you off as expendable while hand-waiving it's all going to be okay).

There were reactions with the original SARS vaccines too, there is always a risk group but never a test developed to predict who is at risk:

With excess solar you usually just detach the inverter. In some areas, like Southern California, this can be forced during peak solar times.

As for the price going negative - this isn’t a super new phenomenon. I remember learning about coal power plants in West Virginia having negative power prices in the late night. This is simply because it’s hard to spin down and scale up these loads. It’s more cost effective to pay people to take the energy for a short time than it is to shut down the plant and potentially destabilize the grid in the future.

As for sinking it into the ground - there’s lots of research there. Tesla is pushing utility scale batteries. Other efforts move large rocks up and down hills, convert water to hydrogen and oxygen, or simply pump water up hill. Each of these has some losses and hardware costs to get going and efficiency isn’t great.

At a home you can get a set of Tesla Powerwalls and essentially do this - but you’ll find they cost about $6k each and eat about $7/mo in electric losses (at the $0.23/kWh price I pay - thanks, Eversource).
The number is well over 6000 deaths...where are you getting 1644? Any death is wrongful, and the poisonous jabs are causing more than just deaths.
> still assert that they were aware of the ad and not allowing it to influence their decisions.

The claim you're responding to is not that they won't allow it to influence their decisions, but that they will actively refuse to even consider a product if they learned about it through an ad.

Most of the ads I encounter are through podcasts because I don't watch TV and ad blockers of various kinds apply everywhere else. I will never use or recommend Squarespace for any purpose, simply on principle.
That is not true. Performance evaluation is not totally subjective.
IMO Linux won because its license forced everyone who used and extended it to open their changes - this changes the calculus for firms building products on Linux to make it more worthwhile to upstream their changes to reduce their local maintenance burden.

Compare this to something like the playstation 4, which used freeBSD as the base of their OS, and contributed nothing back to the project at all.

Cube farms (with ~7 ft. tall walls, not bullpens) are so much better than the typical open office or shared offices, for my preferences.

Bonus, if the cube opening is across the hallway from a window, and the cube lets me orient my seating position towards the opening, for glare and "feng shui".

Open office can be OK, if it has so much available space that I can distance a bit, and maybe also get a window, ideally that opens for fresh air.
I think the OP might be conflating the USDA nutritional guidelines with the food pyramid, which was rather blatantly bullshit and influenced by the agricultural industry.

Looks interesting. Yet the getting started link is broken and seems still quite alpha.
I agree. I wasn’t trying to place blame merely stating that there are ways to make the experience personal and closed to the people you know only. The sentence following the one you’re referring to was meant to convey your sentiments.

Don’t solar panels have a life span of like 20 years?
Depends on the ad - if it's excessively irritating or intrusive absolutely.

To the point where I'll boycott entire stores if an ad pisses me off too much.

Tangentially, youtube's ads are getting worse by the day and Hero Wars' efforts are now so damned desperate that they've gone beyond deliberately misleading to damned near pornographic.

It's bad enough that I'm considering completely dropping Google despite the inadequacy of DuckDuckGo and the fact I've had the same Gmail address since university.
The problem is that if you ever sell, your home's clearing price won't accurately capture the money you put in, and the value of your solar installation.
This is so important. Too many asynchronous solution simply don't support cancellation, and instead just keep chugging along, doing undesirable things while wasting cpu & ram.
I've experienced this firsthand.

The company was acquired, which caused a lot of work to be assigned in order to bring us into compliance with government regulations.

This resulted in thousands of man-hours of re-creation of build environments, headaches due to increased security, and general burnout.

>Years ago, as a kid, when the only computers I had access to were cobbled together hand-me-downs and machines people would throw away I used to do this kind of thing. Like the author, I settled on IceWM after trying Fluxbox/JWM/FVWM/"Window Maker" and all the various forks with minor variations.

I had one of those original EeePC's years ago, 900 mhz celeron in like 2008, 800x480 screen, just woefully out of date. Ended up running Fluxbox just because of ram usage. With an actual WM it couldn't stream The Daily Show smoothly. I really do love playing with low spec systems.
Oh right, I didn't fully read or understand the comment... was thinking more about the minimal computer OP was talking about.
I'm in the same boat. Normally I despise ads, but the ones on facebook I'm seeing I have actually clicked on to learn more. Not a robot, hate facebook to the core, but some of the ads I get are interesting.
Let me preface this with: I’m not a Rust fanatic (I still like C#). But Rust’s “procedural macros” are pretty interesting. They’re not just regular typed macros (which Rust has), but a function that takes a token stream and outputs a new token stream. This allows pretty cool macros like hex! for example: https://docs.rs/hex/0.4.2/hex/
Ok, so I'm going to hijack this slightly...

I'm an elderly (mid-40s) non-USian techie, and I've never done Instagram. On Facebook I mostly follow people I've largely lost touch with in real life (particular these past couple of years), and on Twitter it's news sources and journalists, plus a selection of 'celebs' from various niche interests like tech, sci-fi, winter sports and comedy.

Am I likely to be missing anything interesting by largely ignoring Instagram?
> If there was a single eink competitor being used in products outside of China

I'd say there are far fewer Microsoft operating system competitors than there are eink competitors. Also eink is an fpl manufacturer not a whole industry. Meaning they're a component supplier and there's tonnes of alternatives, memory-LCD is what I promote, and even within the electrophoretic space, there's ClearInk, Shenzhen Wenfeng, and several others. In any case, it is unclear to me what the main argument is. If you are trying to say eink is blocking progress, then I don't see any evidence for that, and that 2012 lawsuit in fact seems like an entirely reasonable lawsuit since based on what I understand, 2 engineers who had worked for Eink in Boston moved to China, started Guangzhou OED and then produced the exact same pigment and particle formulations and started selling knockoff displays with even the exact same TFT backplanes and resolutions.
Forgive this ignorant question… but what happens if people don’t “burn electricity” during negative pricing? Would the voltage on the grid start to fluctuate? What kinds of effects would we see? What happens to the generators in turbine-halls if they kept on running?
This seems a bit of a chicken and egg problem... why would the early adopters have chosen Linux, before others had been forced to contribute back their changes? The first company to adopt it wouldn't have received any benefits, only an obligation. Why pick it over BSD?

I think there were likely other factors that made it win out.
I only use insta in the browser on my phone, which is quite a nice watered down experience that doesn't show ads (even without an ad blocker) or annoying account suggestions.
This doesn’t explain everything though. We have a lot of consumers who want to build modular housing in CA and they are blocked by the trades. The trades lobby against both the construction of modular housing factories and specific proposed modular buildings. They don’t want more efficiency, they want more man-hours per project.
i've never seen those ads before. aren't instagram ads tailored based on your browsing history? if anything, those ads may just be indicative of your recent interests.
After reading your links I think it is more clear that "optimal dose" does not mean optimal dose for the patient or total population. It is optimal dose such that a single phase III trial would detect a measurable effect.

Once its approved already at a set dose, the "ideal dose" for future use is probably not the same as the "optimal dose" that maximized probability of approval.

"We propose a Bayesian utility approach (BUART) to randomized Phase II clinical trials which uses a first-order bivariate normal dynamic linear model for efficacy and safety in order to determine the optimal dose and study population in a subsequent Phase III clinical trial. "
