I bought an iMac Pro in 2019 merely because it had the most advanced cooling system in the Appleverse - i. e. compared to a high end maxed out regular iMac I probably spent 1000 EUR just to not be bothered by fan noises when doing audio work.
Totally worth it after getting frustrated to no end when using the atrocious 2018 Macbook Pro.
While the timing of my purchase probably wasn't particularly "smart", I applaud Apple for having understood and fixed this problem in their new line up. Definitely looking forward to the more fleshed out M1 laptops next year.
No it won't, all CSR #2 needs to say is "CSR #1 is wrong and shouldn't have told you that." Now what? AT&T has done this to me in the past.

I think that's largely a function of how much the manufacturer is willing to spend on hardware. I have a Bosch Series 8 cook top and it has enough power levels and fast enough PWM cycle that I can't detect the pulsing even with a light weight carbon steel pan.

There still are issues, like the automatic pan warm up feature control logic overshoots with a carbon steel pan and undershoots with a cast iron one. Pan detection takes a couple of seconds every time it's triggered which makes it annoying to use lifting the pan as a way of temperature control.But overall I'm pretty happy.

A separately installed control panel with physical knobs would be appreciated though. Wouldn't want knobs on the main cook top as having a flat surface makes cleanup so much nicer.
I never felt the UI responsive difference between Linux and MacOS but Windows (including freshly installed on powerful many-core machines when) is a different story. The number one reason I ever switched from Windows to Linux is the latter always feeling way more swift - UI responsiveness always remaining perfect and some background tasks also working much faster. And I never actually used lightweight WMs - only KDE, GNOME and XFCE. The first time I've noticed some slowness in Lunux was on RaspberryPI (4, with the default LXDE).

The side is also easier to reach (and without obstructing the view on the page) than the top. On a screen that doesn't matter though.

On a computer screen you absolutely have more space on the side unless you're using a vertical screen or 3+ windows side by side.

Software UI is far too inflexible. Imho every program should have at least something like Firefox' customization mode where I can move, add and delete buttons on the interface. Though sadly even there I can't move the tab bar to the side.

probably a change in the strength of north atlantic thermohaline circulation.

that was a regional shift in local climate and not due to worldwide climate change. it isn't reflected in global proxies like antarctic ice cores.

hurricane activity in the atlantic basin increased, and its likely that la nina (cool) conditions persisted across the pacific.

it also may have caused draught that caused the collapse of the Maya civilization.

you probably get labelled a shill because you use it to cast doubt on anthropogenic causes of climate change and you argue that warmer temperatures benefited northern europe, while ignoring the drought and destruction of a civilization in central america.

Maybe Google is. I remember a time over a decade ago (before the insane 0% monetary policy started) when they were struggling to turn a profit. The business model did not change much since then and yet now they are profitable. It's possible that without this monetary stimulus, they would be unprofitable... Meaning destroying value; if that's the case then we can say thay Google is running a fictional business since it can only exist in this highly artificial monetary environment where it's receiving special treatment due to its ability to hoard eyeballs.

Who is to say that hoarding user attention and online advertising is actually profitable? In a real monetary system where the money supply isn't in a constant state of rapid expansion.

Cooking is a negligible amount of the gas use, but in warmer states gas networks will do rebate deals with developers to get gas appliances into new homes to keep the domestic networks expanding. There can be transmission loss in these networks and curbing demand for appliances (Via City regulation) stops them expanding.

Also, at least in my country, the network connection fee to the gas network is often higher than the gas used by appliances, (warm climate) and residential cooks don't realise they're subsidisng the cost of our business gas users.

A carbon tax would discourage this behavior only to the extent that it is harmful, and would avoid regulations on every niche market with a CO2 output...

Unfortunately, Carbon taxes have been become political poison and red meat for the republican base, so we use methods that are less effective, more costly, and more annoying.
It is temporary. The increase in biomass due to CO2 saturates when the area locally runs out of other constraints like water or nitrogen.

The IPCC predicts by 2100 the land is going to convert into a net source rather than sink of carbon -- so the positive feedback loops will exceed the negative feedback stabilizers.

The increase in biomass also comes at a decrease in nutrient density as well, so its not like this is magic sauce for croplands.

Hey, what do you know, it has been covered by "US Media":

> In the indictment, Thordarson’s claims are used not as the basis for charges but as background for what Assange told Chelsea Manning, who as an Army soldier exposed classified information through WikiLeaks in 2010.

> Thordarson in the article also does not deny involvement in the hacking of U.S. targets, and tells the publication his activities were “something Assange was aware of or that he had interpreted it so that this was expected of him.”
Not sure if that was always astroturfing. I certainly feel ambivalent about Julian Assange and he arguably cost Hillary Clinton the 2016 election, which obviously upset a lot of people.
No one has 'the truth', it's just not that sort of thing. Everyone has opinions. Some opinions are lies. Transparency is the way to deal with the lies.

I know it had medical use historically but had no idea it still has today.
Room Heating consumes more energy and thus emissions, perhaps switching to blankets and warm clothes can prevent more emissions than cooking. Even Better stop cookign and live on salads instead. That should be an even better way to prevent emissions. With this kind of logic one should probably just stop living altogether.

I was talking about the links the GP was posting about “download valley”.
Google bought Android in 2005, the iPhone was released in 2007, and other important companies (Microsoft, BlackBerry, Nokia) were also doing phone plays which would later fail.

Facebook was still in its infancy as an internet company back then and I doubt they would’ve been able to carry out a hardware or OS play without extremely diluting its focus. But sure, if they had done so and succeeded despite the minimal odds they would be in a totally dominant position right now.
> awful unresponsive touch controls

These are horrible indeed, and it gets only worse if liquid is spilled in the vicinity of those controls - who in their right mind would design a cooking surface that cannot handle spills?

The control knobs arranged in a linear fashion may be listed as an example of bad design in "The Design of Everyday Things", but little did Donald Norman know in which direction stove design would be heading!

Broadly, because by necessity you're dealing with untrusted inputs in a relatively complex format. The complexity leaves room for bugs in how you handle the input and the user supplied data provides an easy way to feed malicious inputs in.
For some odd reason the power plants were unable to locate any natural gas, but I don't know of anyone who had a gas outage at home.

Are there 2 unique gas distribution systems? Was there no gas, or was it just super expensive spot price and no one wanted to pay for it?

I'm sort of stuck on / amazed at the idea that YC is turning out 700 startups a year that don't have a clue how to write a prospectus that HN is interested in - without forcefully rewriting and bumping it. Not that this is the right place to ask about commercial viability. But the only conclusion I can draw is that these are bad ideas, or at least shot through with holes. If that's the case then the fair thing to do would be to let them surface and be subject to the same criticism as everyone else's semi-decent ideas. That's the service HN provides. If the idea is that by giving them special treatment or keeping them on the front page artificially, there's some other more private service being provided, then that's at real friction with the core values of HN and the (stated) values of YC.

My view would be you should probably treat them all equally, though. To the extent they get more lingering time on the front page than a "Show HN" they shouldn't be prioritized based on your (dang's) theories. Not that I think you'd be wrong to weigh them on the hoof, but you're setting yourself up for disaster with that.

My suggestion would be: Whatever the algo is for keeping them on the front page for a day, cap it at 1/day and shorten the time for each exceeding it. If they have 365*2/year, then it's l/2 day each. That gives every one equal time, without bias, and puts the onus on the generators to create good enough content.

Just my 2¢. Godspeed you.

[edit] Just to clarify, what I mean is that personally getting involved in judgment calls about time on the front page - even though or especially because you may already be trying to help them shape their pitch - exposes you to a whole ton of negativity and blame, with basically no upside at all. And I realize you're doing this out of goodwill. I think there's a basic truth and honesty in the upvoting on this site, and so did the founder. To the extent you're bending rules for the golden startups, the only sensible thing to do is bend them evenly. Herding them into a ghetto (subreddit) won't be acceptable, probably. It's always been sink or swim, and I think PG said that pretty early on. If there are more fish in the pond, that's their choice; it just changes the buoyancy.
If anyone knew, they certainly wouldn't tell you. If you knew, you wouldn't be asking this question and you'd be rich already.
The whole point of vim is normal mode, not insert mode. Insert mode is just typing, but normal mode is code or file navigation. Its not about typing speed but deliberate action and precision - with vim you need only a couple of keystrokes. In this context speed refers not to typing code but to doing what you mentioned quicker (at least for code search, jump to definition, go back in cursor history) but there is vimium for the web which helps with research.
My hands are slowly failing me and vim is a god send.

>the OP bought an unlocked phone elsewhere (not from them) and now complaining that they are not replacing it with comparable model.

No, I'm pretty sure they're complaining about it being replaced in the first place, with a 30d deadline at that, when AT&T claimed the original deadline was February 2022.

I use AT&T too (prepaid plan, on a dumbphone) and I got a text about the February 2022 deadline back in March 2021. But the text said nothing about them sending me a new phone and forcing me to switch sooner, and I haven't got another text since then either. That said, I already have a new phone that I was planning to switch to when February 2022 got closer (not AT&T, because my new phone isn't supported by them lol) . So it won't be too much of a problem if they do force me to switch sooner.
Thanks for the recommendation! Read through all the three articles. Learnt a lot. Even though some of the things written in a way that were 'handwaving' as the author writes himself, and I couldn't understand everything ( I'll keep revisiting ) I'd never thought about declarative model enabling using O(n) code instead of O(n^2) when state in the application increases, and some of the other things he talks about. I've linked these articles series as a first thing in my blog post.
I see this point often brought up to detract from green energy sources. But I fail to see how it would be possible to transition to any new green technology without relying on the existing energy infrastructure for manufacturing. This attitude reminds of of the saying "perfection is the enemy of the good" and would get us no closer to a green energy future if everyone held this opinion.

Put another way, what is the alternative you are proposing for the energy source to manufacture the first wind turbine (at cost and can scale)? You might be able to manufacture a couple of wind turbines with some horses and man power but it will never be cost competitive with fossil fuels unfortunately.

Quite a few. Older through the wall gas panel type gas heaters work without power. Often found in low-end apartments and trailers.

>i think it gets rather muddy as there isn't really a good metric for raw signal quality (afaik). there's cell tuning and number of spiking channels, but still not a great measure of snr for bmi work (afaik). often times people will apply measures to the outputs of their systems, like task performance, but part of the problem there is that often the state model has varying quality and suitability to task, so it can be difficult to disambiguate signal quality from state model performance.

This was something I picked up on back in 2017. I did manage to come up with a definition of SNR that made some sense (basically the euclidean distance between symbol menas, divided by the noise level along the vector connecting the two symbols, assuming the feature space was basically an N-dimensional QAM signal using features 1...N instead of amplitude and phase) - but even then that didn't take into account the fact that the noise was neither well-approximated by AWGN biased nor even constant...

And of course, as you said, you could get a bad SNR just because you're extracting the wrong features (although, to be fair, the same problem can exist in telecoms too).
