Gas turbine engines have critical components which can have gradual failure (fatigue particularly, and creep) which need regular inspection to catch small defects before they grow to critical size. They also have large numbers of high-temperature, stressed components.

Electric motors are generally much simpler in construction and wouldn't need nearly as much mechanical inspection.

The difficult/expensive part is the battery, but that's going to have more onboard condition monitoring and will be simply replaced periodically, not subject to regular teardown inspections. The cost of ongoing battery replacements might be significant, though.

I had that too when I switched from a 14" ThinkPad to a 13" XPS and happened to use a chair which was slightly low compared to my desk.

Switching to using a external keyboard fixed that.

But I also happen to hardly use my pinky finger (which turned out to be somewhat of a problem when I switched to a split keyboard which works best with 10 finker/touch typing). On reason for not using the pinky finger is that it's noticeable shorter to the point that the "home row" of my pinky finger is one row below that of my other fingers...

Why not? He would have another idea and try to get another reward for that. If it's the biggest possible reward that you can get, and you have an idea, why wouldn't you try to implement it? The rewards for a successful business 50 years ago were much smaller than they are today, yet people still created businesses, because it was the best reward you could get. They didn't have an idea and abandon it because the biggest possible reward was 1 million instead of 100. Biggest possible rewards 50 years from now could be much bigger, so why do people innovate now?

Back in the kde 3 days, there was this applet called "knob" for volume control. For me personally, its circular knob UI is actually the best.

Firstly, you can place the applet at a corner of the panel, e.g. at the bottom right, such that you now have an infinitely large target [1] to hit.

Then, once you have the mouse pointer hovering above it, you can:

- scroll up/down to increase/decrease the volume

- middle click to toggle on/off the sound

For those who possess precise control of the mouse pointer, of course they can still click on an arbitrary spot on the knob to set the volume.

For bonus point, because it is a knob, you always know what is the current volume level. All that for maybe 40x40 pixels of screen real estate only.

You should absolutely go see a doctor. The problem with ergonomics is that everything is bullshit. For instance, you know that famous thing where all your joints should be at 90°? Yeah, not so much. My cubital tunnel symptom was because my hands were too bent. Putting my keyboard deeper into the desk helped. Similarly, your issues with the shoulders don't sound like anything garden-variety, but then again they might be.

If you would like to hear anecdotes, here's mine. I was a horrible typer (spacebar with my index finger etc.). I learnt Programmer's Dvorak, which helped me type more sedately/less spastically. But it was still on a full-sized keyboard. More recently, I switched to the Ergodox EZ, and I definitely prefer it. It sits shoulder width apart. I found out I prefer NOT to have it tented, as my desk is too high already, and it would lead to pain on the top of my wrist. I also changed my keyboard layout to basically ignore half the keyboard, and just stay on the home row as much as possible. Fn keys, the thumb cluster etc., I try not to use at all. All of these things helped. But what helped most was going to a doctor, she measured my nerve speeds, and recommended a strap to wear at night. So, go to a doctor!

Depends on if other people are gonna work on it too, right? By barging in and telling people their indentation is messy because it's a mix of tabs and spaces which isn't consistent on your IDE, you take away the time they might otherwise spend on doing what they want. It isn't there for you, it's a passion project not a job.
From my experience, athletes who were really good at the sport wasn't the greatest teacher; since they kind of intuitively understood how they should conduct their body to do something, they had a real tough time trying to transfer that knowledge to me who has no idea how I should move my body. They often tried to use imaginary that didn't really connect with me. It was far better to be taught by someone who was good but wasn't a natural as a beginner since they seemed to have a better grasp on what kind of struggles normal people had.

Obviously this is just anecdotal and probably changes at the Olympics levels and other places where the learner competency and affinity is already high.
My biggest issue with Go is mostly generics really, everything else I can live with it.

Indeed. Worker cooperatives don't often take off because they're a bad idea. A company going under can be devastating for your career. If you have a significant stake in your company, you'll be broke as well as unemployed. People should diversify whenever they can and forcing people to hold a stake in their companies is a terrible idea.

Your proposal has merit. Perhaps Copilot is a necessary step towards this goal. I'm reminded of something physicist Savas Dimopoulos said in the documentary Particle Fever:

“The thing that differentiates scientists is purely an artistic ability to
discern what is a good idea, what is a beautiful idea, what is worth spending
time on, and most importantly, what is a problem that is sufficiently
interesting, yet sufficiently difficult, that it hasn’t yet been solved, but the
time for solving it has come now.”
DANE is meant to fix that. If someone asserts, via DNS records (signed by DNSSEC), that their SMTP server is able to use TLS, then you should only accept connections using TLS to that SMTP server.

Don't overthink this hypothetical scenario. When/if it happens you should be able to prove you're the original owner of the code and make sure any product based on stolen code in taken down.

Rather spend your brainpower on making the product better. Steer the product towards a future where this code leak is irrelevant because the product moved forward so much. Leverage this negative experience to make sure you'll remain the customers' preferred choice even if they can get today's version for free.

Product is so much more than the code. You have assets which you may not yet see as such:

- mistakes made and learned from. These can also come in form of code in the automated test suite.

- machinery around the product: cash flows, relationships between people involved (inside the team, and with customers)

- market insights

The growth-based system did quite well on average and it might be only the effects we have to address. One way to see it is that there is a mismatch between human capabilities and the systems requirements. We're already working on enhancing humans and creating better human replacements. Humans should be able to work on robots instead of working as robots. Until we made the transition, the system needs careful adjustment via i.e regulations and massive educational investments to minimize the pains for humans.

Audio File Transcription, for Super-Efficient Recording
That's pretty common on HiFi. It's not indicating "remaining" per se, the dB value is reduction from line level - -20dB is a 100-fold reduction in output power.

I actually find it pretty convenient since the dynamic range is actually useful (unlike most phones which have a step-change from 0 to 1).

Show HN: Infiuss Health; Platform for remote clinical trials in Africa
Hi HN! We’re Melissa and Charles, the founders of Infiuss Health.(https://infiuss.com)

Infiuss Health enables US and EU based life science companies run clinical trials and clinical research studies in Africa.

1.4 Billion Africans (most diverse population on the planet) are excluded from clinical research studies today because it takes averagely 6-12 months only to reach ~40% patient enrolment target, with researchers missing out on huge data that could be generated from studying this populations and exposing us to drugs, vaccines and medical devices tested on non-African participants.

Remotely run your clinical research study or clinical trial in Africa from anywhere in the world.

We are building an end-to-end platform to power remote research/clinical trials in Africa, connecting researchers (in industry and academia) directly to patients and participants for their clinical research studies in under 3 days. Our all-in-one software helps researchers to remotely recruit participants, collect remote consent, collect analyse data and provide virtual support. 20X faster and cheaper than traditional methods(CRO's).

Who are we:

During my Masters fellowship at Stanford, we developed a low-cost pregnancy monitoring device to be deployed in low-income settings. When we took this device into phase 1 clinical trials in Nigeria, it took us 9 months to reach 40% of our enrolment target. This made me realised the need for a solution that could speed up the enrolment process.

My co-founder Charles spent the last 5 years working at Microsoft and Huawei Technologies as a software engineer.

In 2018 we built software to connect blood donors with patients and hospitals in need of blood. Reached 5K+ users and delivered over 3K pints of blood.

How you can help

Our customers are US and EU based life science companies, Medical device companies, Pharma, CRO’s and sponsors looking to carry out preliminary research for FDA Approval. We can help with running surveys, recruiting participants and helping with ensuring that the research process is conducted as smoothly as possible.
If you’re interested in testing out our product https://dashboard.infiuss.com/login

If you have had any experience building databases for clinical recruitment or EHR purposes, we would love any helpful feedback.

Cheers,

Melissa

Might I gently point out that the difficulty of the problem is all political. The easiest "solution" is of course to take all the wealth that exists in the world and fairly distribute it while keeping everyone working as effectively as they are now.

Now obviously that idea isn't anywhere near being a solution. Neither is your idea.

Bezos was well aware and a part of this growth. He was there personally when the company I worked for was acquired. He offered a silly anecdote about a breakfast octopus to the then CEO.

In some ways the company has lived on past the CEOs desires to maintain it, but it's also not the same place. It's effectively turned into a way to push overstocked amazon wares. What was a big push to bring temporary employees on full-time 2 years prior has probably been disassembled for Amazon style hiring. After I left a enclosed cage and turnstile was added to the warehouse employee entrance (probably loss prevention, not totally unneeded, but who wants to feel like a prisoner at their job).

To be clear, my shoulder isn't really painful just tight. It's the same with my wrist, everything in my right hand feels tight.

For example, on my left hand I can stretch my fingers back without feeling any tightness, and on my right hand I can feel a stretch when I do the same thing.

I will go to a Doctor, I think I've been putting it off too much thinking adjustments made at home would cure it. Sadly, some have made it much better but it still ultimately returns, just slower than before.

If they did a cost/benefit calculus, they wouldn't be on that path (or that field, most likely). I have to remind myself that most people don't think like I do. There's a confirmation bias, where I'm surrounded by people who do - build mental models, analyzed them, then play what-if. My goal is to understand; for others, it's to experience, or to connect socially.
