The 787 originally didn't use a complete battery box, and there was a major fire on board that grounded the 787 fleet for a year. The fire destroyed a rack of electronics, and was serious enough to bring down an airliner.

In those cases, the batteries were all Lithium-ion.
I've played it before at a movie theater, I remember there was a noticeable latency between the time when you pressed the button and the machine responded (felt like 250-400ms). I watched some other people play it while I waited for the film to start, and it almost appeared to be buffering inputs at an extremely low polling rate, such that it might be impossible to even line it up in the first place. Very strange game, I guess I'm not really surprised.

>We do like drinking and eating together though, so we got that!

Regardless of the details of your argument, or whether my paraphrase of your original comment was accurate, it is an infeasible solution to suggest that everyone needs to go to church in order to address the loneliness, social anxiety, and tribalism. Your comments all have a condescending, passive aggressive tone and you are trying all kinds of dirty tactics to manipulate the debate to your favor. I doubt you have any real interest in more people going to church. Based on your comments, your goal is to argue and put blame on others. I'm not sure if anyone in this thread has really learned from this discussion (flamewar) and I regret engaging in it.

I am with mastercard on this one. Either they were asked to pay bribe and refused, which is good, or they genuinely care about their customers. In corrupt countries, such as India, politicians and local law “enforcement” love to get their hands in the pockets of honest and hard working people. And what easier way is there than having a card that provides details of the money you have in your pocket.
I'm curious about your reasoning to provide an API to potentially other companies that could offer payroll service. Do you see this as financially better than providing the service directly yourselves?
Yeah, iCloud is really nice. It very neatly solves the how to I get thing on phone to computer problem for files and more. MS would be losing if they didn’t have an answer.

But since this is a business service it’s gonna be a replacement for roaming profiles which is a godsend.
Stay positive! This is a good incentive to break out of this toxic tradition/behaviour. Now you have a good idea of what not to do. You might even tell your parents this conclusion.
Yes, I get that. We all know what the void is like: it's the state we were all in before we were born. It's not at all clear to me that that will be worse than witnessing the collapse of civilization, which is not at all unlikely to happen in the lifetime of many of the people hanging out here on HN.

> find something else to talk about

Not sure if you clicked on the links or have any first hand experience with this phenomenon, but that's exactly the problem: conservative family members always find a way to steer the conversation back to politics. They don't live in the real world anymore, everything relates back to their political outrage. And if you do anything but agree with them, they immediately become defensive and act like you started attacking them for no reason. The only option is to pretend you're in a room full of tourettes patients who can't help what they're saying and shouldn't be taken seriously.

Or — relevant to this forum — personal attacks. It doesn't even have to be about normal identity politics stuff.

I get harassed by family about how awful I am for working in “tech” after both platforms axed Trumps accounts. (FWIW, I don’t work for a social media company. I'm extremely proud of my work. It saves lives. There is literally nothing controversial about what I do. But "tech bad" is now a News Max talking point.)

There is a local place that has an arcade with machines that give tickets. My kids loves it. I figured out which games work best just by watching other people, over many visits.

More like a 1/7th of the space previously reserved for the timeline, and considerably worse on older phones with smaller screens (eg iPhone 7). The fact that it disappeared when scrolling down but reappeared instantly when scrolling up made it even more annoying. Tyrannising your scrolling behaviour. The fucking audacity.

The title is incorrect. It targeted older phones exclusively.

It was fully sourced with peer reviewed research, per my recollection. I also recall that the version of the memo circulated frequently on social media and in progressive news sources like Mother Jones was not the original, and in particular, omitted all the sourcing. Are you sure you didn’t see an edited version that was circulated specifically to malign Damore?

I got estranged from my parents because my wife and they did not get along well. Towards the end, I would call my mother once a week. I could never make my wife get along with my mom. One day , my mother said something that annoyed my wife. I called my mother and had an angry conversation and hung up the phone. She had high fever but did not call for about 10 days. She died of stomach cancer two weeks later. To this day I am unable to forgive myself for it and regret what I did. My life is so full of such regrets that it becomes unbearable and wish I were dead.

Natural infection vs. vaccination: Which gives more protection?
Dunno, tagging seems worth it, deleting not so much. Storage is getting cheaper ever year. I've looked through a many albums from parents, grand parents, and great grand parents. I hope that my pictures make it that far, but seems like the world needs a "free" (except for storage/bandwidth) photo backup service to have any chance of surviving multiple generations.
I'm not entirely sure how you mean. Would you care to elaborate your point?

Just to make it more clear, in case I wasn't, the 'common wisdom' as also perpetuated in the parent's statement is indeed about the faster boiling time. It's all over the internet too (and youtube).

The 'problem' with it is that it it is actually factually true. That water will definitely boil faster without salt added to it at the start. It can be calculated to the T if you know all the input parameters, like initial temperature, power output of your heating element, amount of water and salt. The fact remains that it's only by maybe milliseconds for common water and salt amounts used in cooking. So pedantically, whoever mentions it, is right, but it doesn't matter and is not how it's commonly referred to. It's more used to throw around your knowledge about cooking, giving 'tips' etc. I don't doubt that many of the other 'common wisdoms' of cookery are similarly unfounded if pedantically true. Not all of them probably.
Should just be nanoseconds. I think they're mostly making considerations for unfortunate thread scheduling where one gets stuck for a while.

I had the same relationship with both my parents. I got so little positive reinforcement in my life that I had to practice thanking people giving me praise because it was so odd to me. Part of me doesn't want to get married or have kids just because I've seen the horrible ball and chain it can be with both my parents.
Objectivity is really just society's collective subjectivity as far as determining what is protected, unprotected, reasonable, who is "wrong", etc. I don't see how societies can exist without this (even anarchists would implicitly be subscribing to the collective rules and interpretations, or lack there of).

> By intuition, you'll first try to PUSH on a door with a HORIZONTAL bar or handle...

I'm curious why you say this. My intuition when seeing a door with any handle (vertical or horizontal) would be to pull, since either style has the affordance of pullability. You don't need a handle at all if the door is intended to be pushed, you just need a push plate (if that), since a flat surface has the affordance of pushability.
You can run arbitrary software on the Remarkable, in case you weren't aware (quite easily even, you can ssh in out-of-the-box)

The supplied software isn't all Open Source, and I wouldn't be surprised if there's some drivers or firmware that can't be Open Source on it. But I don't see how it even _could be_ the e-ink part that's forcing the main UI software parts to be closed source.
Yeah, I remember that podcast, and I remember thinking that it sounds like it should be, but will it be so? Since then a little has happened to calm my doubts. Like, it wasn't Twitter that got bullied by Trump back when he was USA president, but very much otherwise. (You can say TikTok almost got bullied, but in the end it wasn't, and even then, it almost got bullied into something that some other tech-giants would love.) And while €100,000 might sound significant for some random citizen, is it for Google, really? Heck, is it even a nuisance?

(BTW, this is what I felt about many of Ravikant's statements: he sounds so wise, so believable, and I want to agree with him, because it fits my own philosophy so much, but as soon as I get distracted from the magic of his voice for a moment, I start doubting if all of it has any ground whatsoever or is it just make believe.)

Edit: However, I think I have to clarify that your interpretation isn't exactly how I remember his point. As I remember, the point was that openly censoring the content for any reason other than the court order is basically the moment where they lose the "plausible deniability" of being responsible for their content, i.e. they cannot be seen as "just a middleman" anymore (this is how they want to be seen). But it is close enough for the matter we are discussing right now.

Nope, I'd expect the current trend of glaciers and icecaps melting to continue or accelerate. And for rainy seasons to get more severe. As they have been.

Exactly the same story here, but stretched out over a longer timeframe. Trying to build a lifestyle business (pet1.net) for a market I actually care about. I have a piece of software (atomicdroplet.com) that I've been selling for years and is still returning - albeit in very limited quantities.

> The people pushing this shit are either stupid or malicious, and either way they need to be removed from any position of control as soon as possible.

Uh, no.

If people want this sort of experience, it should be available to those who do want it. Those people should seek objective information about what they are buying into in order to make an informed decision. I am concerned that it may lead to a world where these services are pushed onto people who do not want them. Yet there is nothing wrong intrinsically wrong with people deciding to use something that you and I may find distasteful.
Everything happens for a reason ... and that reason is physics.
Foam interrupts the "oxygen" side of the heat-fuel-oxygen fire triangle. Unfortunately, lithium-ion batteries make their own oxygen when heated, so it doesn't help to smother them.

The advice is to use copious amounts of water to cool the batteries, removing the "heat" leg of the triangle. This works but requires extended periods of cooling support due to the possibility of internal shorts re-supplying the heat, and starting the process again.

yeah, really kind of a weird attempt to put down a long dead author for having some luck with birth and some success with writing spy novels (and essentially defining the genre).

i guess it is an attempt to generate clicks by fabricating a controversy?

it would be one thing if it were a serious attempt to critique the values espoused by bond/fleming, but it is just a bland flattening of the truth with some uninspired spitting on it.
Have a look at Alton Brown's "I'm Just Here for the Food." It teaches the different cooking methods - braising, grilling, roasting, frying etc. It teaches you why how these methods work and what foods benefit from them. It's a fun a book and you will cook a bunch of good stuff and there's a healthy bit of science in there as well. It will get you on your way to cooking without recipes.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1584790830

The other recommendation I could make would be to "Cooks Illustrated" magazine. It's a monthly magazine but they're the kind of thing you could keep around for years as a reference. Besides the usual recipes also lots of "how to" and they usually have a seasonal focus so you can learn to cook things in season.

The answer to the headline is, of course, because almost everyone sucks at money.
Historically corporations were given a license to operate by the state, and limited liability conditional on their serving a public good.

Some people currently seem to have the attitude that a corporation can be protected by the state but not responsible for its actions that negatively impact the common good. This was not the original intention.

> But wether public or private, corporations were originally only granted special legal privileges by government, conditional on them serving some PUBLIC good. With special rights came special restrictions, and their operations were periodically reviewed for compliance with their stated purpose. However, over time the system of incorporation has been altered by corporations themselves, such that the benefits of state-grants have been kept, while the responsibilities discarded. [0]

There's a Christian book called "Wild at Heart" which had a whole chapter on wounds from fathers. I bought into it for years. In hindsight I think books like that can lead people into exaggerating imagined or downplaying real problems. IME it's best to talk to a professional, or at least get a variety of other perspectives before passing judgement.
I grew up in an Ahmedi congregation in suburban Cleveland. It was about 50% African-American and 50% post-60s Pakistani or Indian immigrants with the odd old-time immigrant family (mine) who intermarried or white converts. (My great grandfather famously had Elijah Muhammad to dinner on one of his visits to Cleveland.)

Later as I grew up I realized just how unusual that sort of integration was among any congregation, not just Christian or Islamic. When I read Vivek Bald’s book Bengali Harlem: The Lost Histories of South Asian America, I realized that actually this was the norm in the 20s-60s for South Asian immigrants of all backgrounds.

This has led to some befuddlement amongst others. A black City Councilperson in New Orleans egged a crowd on to call my cousin from Islamabad names based on his origin for trying to set up a tiny house village for homeless people in a residential neighborhood in Eastern New Orleans. I roared back at him that it pained me to see someone that looked like my grandmother beating up on my cousin, mentioned that my congregation met in a formerly AME church and kept the pews for years and shame on him for assuming we are all carpetbaggers. He turned to me and said “You are presumed to be what you look like.” I’ve never been happier to see someone lose an election.
