There are good journals with a strict vetting process and there are predatory journals where the "peer review" is just a rubber stamp iif you pay the publication fees. And there are many levels in between.

So in an Internet discussion, I try to use "published in a serious peer review journal". But it's very difficult to know if a journal is serious unless you are an specialist in that area.

There are indices that somewhat measure the quality, but for example a citation index or 1.5 is a lot in Math but low in Physics, so you don't know unless you are an specialist in the area.

There are tricks that are useful to detect bad journals, like looking at the rest of the articles published in the journal. A lot of single author articles is a red flag. Weird titles like "Using General relativity to prove that Sunspots are Conscious" is another red flag.

I'm reminded of fluorine chemistry. Back in the days before the Montreal Protocol you could get all sorts of halofluorocarbon starting materials for pennies because they were byproducts of CFC manufacture. But nowadays cost is prohibitive, a 100 g can of CF2Br2 will set you back hundreds because it's a specialty chemical and the paperwork is outrageous. It's a genuinely small sacrifice for most, but for a select few there's great cost.
Quality gas stoves can be easily converted to propane. Doing as you propose would be in violation of urban building codes.

They literally discussed how they're doing this last week during a white house press conference.
But those sacrifices are literally a rounding error compared to what large industries do.

You can buy precut pineapple in a plastic jar, on a plasic plate, packed in a cardboard box covered in plastic, on a pallet, wrapped in plastic,... and on the other hand we ban plastic straws.

Now we're literally burning coal in some places, heating water, running the turbines, creating electricity, losing a lot of that power in the wires, to heat a metal disk/spiral, so we can cook, and cook worse than using eg. gas directly.

It depends what you mean by effective.

The requirements for public transport are far larger, and the region does get ludicrously lavished with funds for public transport (the recent expansions actually cost more than supplying the whole country with fibre...obv, the govt took the choice to allow telecoms companies to jack up prices 5%+RPI every year rather than cut back on projects that might lead to lower house prices for those in govt) but the train service in the South-East is comically bad relative to the rest of the UK along almost every metric (again, part of this is the load but...not all of it).

So outside London, you can just buy a cheap car, that is an option outside London (only Birmingham and Edinburgh are really undrivable). And if you are in any large city outside London, then the public transport is usually pretty good. Glasgow has an underground system, Newcastle does, Manchester has quite a big tram network iirc, rail is usually far better outside London, buses are usually pretty good (although not everywhere). The only issue that I can see people on here running into is the fact that there is a lot of housebuilding, and infrastructure in some of these new areas is poor...and, although cars are cheap, some cities are just shutting down all car travel from outside (Edinburgh is one, although it is sometimes difficult to distinguish what is deliberate and what is just incompetence).

At most US companies, certainly one of any size, you'll pay something for healthcare in terms of contributions to your insurance plan and deductible/co-pays. But the amounts are capped. The $60K may have been the "list price" pre-insurance for a hospital stay.

And while the list price of private schools may get into the quoted range, 1.) Relatively few people pay the list price and 2.) There are (often good) state schools which, while not free, are a lot cheaper especially for in-state residents.

I am not sure we have the luxury of only going after primary emitters. I think at this point we have to do literally everything we can.

Also, I read on HN a month or so ago about gas stoves making indoor air quality worse. So there is some upside there too. And if we remove gas stoves then people will probably not care to have gas brought in just for water heaters, and maybe we can avoid an entire type of infrastructure.
Are you asking for a precise number? Sorry but what kind of question is that? I couldn't even give you an order of magnitude but it's a lot. Basically every person who is cooking an Asian cuisine.
Yes, almost all natural gas appliances can be converted to propane, and come with the instructions to do so. In NH natural gas is only in the cities, all rural houses (that want it) use 100-500 gallon propane tanks instead. It's very common here.

When I built my house new in 2018 I installed a 500 gallon tank for the heating system + cooking. (Though the house is primarily heated with a wood stove)
Pre M1, I've always preferred a PC.

When I'm using a laptop, especially doing real work, they heat up, the fans go crazy, the laptop is hot to the touch and everything slows down.

It almost makes you anxious. You're wondering if it's about to crash or go on fire.

I've always kept a Desktop PC on the go for this reason, a well cooled desktop just doesn't have these issues. With a laptop, I always feel like I'm compromising a bit.

I got an M1 Macbook Pro recently and it just doesn't have these issues, I fire up my whole dev environment and get busy, and it's still quiet and (mostly) cool, and I can't notice anything slowing down.

I don't care so much about the architecture differences, x64 vs ARM etc, but the fact that I can finally use a laptop like a desktop is massive.
> of course they will say the new thing is worse. We see this in software engineering and technology all of the time.

It usually is worse, and still keeps getting worse with every subsequent iteration. But there will always be some pious Gnome or Firefox UI developer to tell the user they are wrong.

I'm sure if the government made a law that all acoustic pianos must be replaced with digital ones, there'd be a ready supply of people crawling out of the woodwork, who could not tell a piano from a typewriter, to tell professional pianists that "digital pianos are better, you just need to get used to it!"
How do I cook with gas if not my home hookup? By driving my car to the nearest hardware store, purchasing or renting a steel propane tank, filling it from another tank that was filled by a truck that drove in, and driving home?

>Telegram is fast

It's fast because it's insecure. Would they deploy end-to-end encryption for their groups, it would be as slow as the competition.

>has native clients instead of a garbage web ui

The "native clients" are used to manage data stored on remote server over an encrypted tunnel. The data that sits on Telegram servers is plaintext. The security benefits of the native clients (e.g. handling E2EE in a secure way) don't really play out when the desktop application doesn't feature end-to-end encryption at all, not even for 1:1 chats.

>has better stickers than the alternatives,

My Signal client has 1:1 match of my Telegram sticker packs. This is a non-issue. Porting them is trivial.

>has a larger user base

Sure, which means, larger amount of your data is hoarded by the Mark Zuckerberg of Russia who will take zero responsibility if his servers are hacked.

Just a thought: You should probably refrain from advertising features of an app the glaring security issues of which you can ignore out of your privilege. There's a LOT of oppressive regimes in the world, and people living there shouldn't take your advice.

> The Israeli developers who wrote this software may not even have been exposed to the moral and ethical questions writing such software ought to raise

Of course they have been exposed to ethical questions for writing the software. If you know Israel well, and the famed Unit 8200 [0], the initial creation of this type of software is definitely built with morals in mind - saving lives is the entire impetus.

Lots of security software out of Israel (see CheckPoint, a now public company) is first born out of the IDF with the goal of fighting terrorism and criminals. I don't see an ethics class being the answer here, as this type of cyber & security software has certainly saved lives. The issue is what happens after this software is developed, with seemingly justified reason to exist, and now in the hands of a business growing around it.

A few weeks ago I moved my sim from a broken LG V20 to a Oneplus 3t and att suspended my account. I wasn't sent a message or any kind of notification. My sim just stopped working.

I had to call att support for 30+ minutes to find out that it was because the 3t doesn't support volte and get my account reactivated.

The way att has been handling this transition has been really shitty.

VOLTE is a banned subject on the lineageos subreddit because support for it is so spotty and hw manufacturers and carriers don't release the information to rom devs that they need to support it.
The oldest computer I have is a 2009 mac mini, which still works, but it gets hot and it's pretty slow. The second oldest is a 2011 fujitsu esprimo e900 which has unreliable capacitors, and has to be plugged in for a while before it can boot up without shutting down randomly. My point is, computers are fragile, even more so the newer one with smaller parts with tighter tolerances. And with the quick advancement of the technology, I think 15 years is already an excessive lifetime.
That's because the "marketplace of ideas" is being distorted by algorithms that are going to favor "provocative" ideas that drive clicks. Exciting lies defeat boring truths.

I agree with the k8s part though. Commiting your enviroment to git and reproducing it anywhere is great. Orchestrating thousands of that is horrible and adds too many extra layers.
Maybe a future version could even write the requirements for the application. And when the users can't figure out how to use whatever comes out, we can have an AI do that part too.
Gas stoves aren’t “the problem”; natural gas space heating and leaks from the gas grid are.

Gas stoves are more collateral damage than culprit, in my opinion, although the indoor air quality issues are a compelling health concern.
Or more like fake engine sounds for electric cars.

Please replace "cast iron" with "good" pans. Uncoated cast iron is a fucking pain to take care of if you cook anything acidic regularly. Coated cast iron is better, but SO heavy (and it takes forever to get up to temp because it's such a heat sink)>

Nobody should be buying thin, cheap aluminum pans. They heat unevenly and both get too hot too quickly on the flame and lose heat almost immediately if they're of a burner. Solid bottom steel pans will always be the standard because they're lighter than cast iron but hold temp and work well.

Modern economics seems to believe that CEOs can only be motivated by more and more money. But low income people get lazy and spoiled if they make more money.

VoLTE is so damn frustrating. LTE works via plug and play with any phone that supports the correct bands, but VoLTE doesn't. I have a Sony Xperia phone here in Canada and it's just not possible to use it on VoLTE without rooting to install specific provisioning files and whatnot.

And that's not even counting how you can't just go from country to country without changing firmware.

I've always used a local SIM whenever I go on a trip to another country. But with VoLTE, you're incentized to roam with the carrier that has whitelisted and provisioned your phone, because your phone will be fed that home VoLTE provisioning information when roaming.

There's the irony: I can VoLTE call with a Verizon SIM roaming on Bell, but not with a Bell Canada SIM on its own network.
> you need way more resources and funds to physically watch and search a lot of people [...] Mass computer surveillance is practical, easy, and affordable

You're right but old-school methods make everything impractical, hard, expensive, and far riskier for both the dissident who already has enough reasons to just stay quiet, and also for the journalist. They set a very high bar for succeeding. You're asking a regular person to take the end-to-end role of a Cold War spy and their source. And this when having access to sensitive info, suspicious purchases like photographic equipment and chemicals, trips abroad, or any attempt to contact a journalist would individually be enough to put someone on a watch list. There are only so many ways to get in contact with a journalist and set up meetings that don't involve any electronic communication.

The state can take a lot more than the individual. So the question is how many people who have sensitive information to share could or would go that route in face of this dramatically mounting pressure? Anything that raises that bar for doing it is a win for the oppressive regime because it makes surveillance that much easier.
Is this tool obsoleted by autoformatters?

It seems to be what Flutter is doing, and it must be a ton of work.
Your argument has some gaps. Here are the two basic problems:

1. f(k) is not defined in your notation, only f(k,k) is. My guess is that f(k) is supposed to represent the real number defined by the k^th row of the table.

2. Whatever f(k) is supposed to be in your notation, you have not shown that it has a limit as k approaches infinity, let alone that z = f.

In fact, f(k) cannot possibly have a limit f. If it did, then by the definition of limit, all but finitely many numbers in [0,1] would have to be within epsilon of f, for any epsilon > 0. We could then show that all but finitely many numbers in [0,1] have the exact same first trillion digits of their decimal expansion. Obviously this is absurd.

This is what always happens with Cantor diagonal argument critiques. The critique invariably ignores the logically rigorous argument of the CDA itself, sets up its own new version or extension of the diagonalization construction, and then makes whatever false assumptions are needed for the new construction reach a conclusion contrary to the CDA.

It's like walking into a sturdy bridge with a few pebbles in your pocket, arranging the pebbles into a flimsy tower, knocking the tower over and declaring that you've destroyed the bridge.

Nope. No plausible amount of computational power that works in any way known to modern science will directly break SHA256.

Wondering if it's just me: I bought an M1 MacBook Air with 8GB of RAM, based on reports saying that RAM management is much more effective than with Intel CPUs. Ever since, I'm really struggling with load management. I typically have Chrome open with 20-30 tabs, plus a couple of Electron apps (Notion, Slack, Google Calendar), and my MacBook frequently slows down to a crawl or gets stuck entirely. Simple commands - "close all tabs" in Chrome - can take 50 seconds to execute. Is anyone else experiencing the same?
I don’t think the marginal utility of doubling computing will diminish any time soon. As we gain more computing power, we just start doing more and more computation heavy tasks that weren’t possible before.

For example, VR games are notoriously demanding on today’s hardware, especially if you want to put that hardware in the headset.

And many applications get slower over time, not faster, as new features are added. This is especially true in an era of cross platform frameworks that are convenient for developers, but are much slower than native.
