I work for a utility with ~260km of gas pipe, ranging between 60 year old cast iron to brand new polyethelene pipe, and everything in between. We aim for <2% UAFG (unaccounted for gas) and our regulatory requirement is <2-4% depending on the network classification.

This is leakage from between our recieving gas and it being metered to the customer. On the customer side, there's another estimated 2-4% loss.

Powering a ~500w blower is not a big deal if you are flexible with diy options. You can backfeed 50A 240v into your panel with about $150-200 worth of hardware (and to code if you follow a few basic rules). A ton of Houston homeowners did this after Ike. I was able to keep my furnace going continuously through a 24 hour outage with a 12kw generator. I know of some who used even smaller ~2kw units to similar effect (albeit they had to be more conservative with other household loads)

So you don't trust large US tech companies. Fair.

But why do you expect people can trust a group of anonymous developers building open source smartphones?
I think that in order to not break your flow, you should be able to translate your thoughts (the answer you found) to code or text as fast as possible. Typing slowly when you know what you want to write can be frustrating for one (lowering your motivation), but most importantly is too trivial a task to prevent you from thinking at the same time (and thus parasitic thoughts can break your flow). A HCI that can help you write your code as you think of it (and maybe log the thought process for future reference !) would be awesome on that front.
No, it can't. World uses single round of SHA-256. Bitcoin uses two rounds of SHA-256 for PoW. Since Bitcoin ASICs hardware is optimized really really hard, they are simply incapable of doing a single round SHA-256.

IMHO this design decision was a great call.

EDIT: I'm amazed that for 12 hours nobody could point to that well-known fact. NH crowd really knows little about cryptocurrencies.
Induction has immediate response time as well. I use both at home and I don’t think response time is a huge issue.

The two things that stop us from removing the gas all together:

- A few pans that we haven’t replaced with induction compatible ones

- The gas stove came with the house and works OK

If the house hadn’t come with gas induction would be fine with us- works great.
No, thank you, Mr Mindless Killer.

Yet the question remains; on what basis are they holding him in prison right now? They have nothing on him. The UK government, the US government and media are the only entities embarrassing themselves here.

Any intelligent person with moral principles right now is starting to think the US is some kind of mafia state. Even patriotic American citizens are starting to denounce the government and pretending that the US government is a separate concept from the US (the country). It doesn't look good.

Not necessarily, maybe there's a strategy that returns 1 extra percent per year compared to just holding the ETF long term. Not quite enough to make a day and night difference, but enough to make it worth it.

Still, I personally wouldn't share it had I had one, since generally the more traders use it the less effective it gets.
So, what’s the alternative?
Clicked for the article. Stayed for the pizza recipe.
I highly recommend you "The Little Book That Still Beats the Market" by Joel Greenblatt.

This approach works - it's just a longer term algorithm. You will need patience, but over time, you will probably beat S&P 500 by a large margin.

Now, if you are looking for algorithms that trade 1000 times a day etc - forget it, or go find a job at an algorithmic trading shop.

This was an interesting read. I believe the way to attack climate change is by attacking the biggest producers globally and not by going after categories that produce insignificant amounts but are easy to attack, mostly because of envy.

Climate change will not be solved by getting rid of motorcycles in Europe but rather needs to be looked at globally.

For the suggestions by the author I wonder how that kind of agriculture would work on a global scale? I'm not sure that the world could be fed by this style of agriculture.

I don't understand how one can say "it's not good enough" without proposing options that are actually better. I've yet to see any; all the censorship proposals on the table are far worse than the present state of affairs.

Qualia Mind Review – 12 Facts You Need to Know
I began my test by taking seven cases each day. Following a couple of days, I expanded the prescribed measurements to ten and later even twelve containers each day. In any case, I before long sorted out that around 7 containers each day are an ideal dose.

An hour after I took the cases, I saw expanded sharpness, center, and a smooth jolt of energy. I felt how my disposition improved, how work got simpler and more fun.

Few people making those comments will be bought commentators. Just people convinced by articles (and the occasional paid commentator).
Well, you're mostly correct but:

- several retired US military members have had "a talking to" for writing biographies.

- several people with US citizenship have been "droned" in the Middle East without a trial.

- it's pretty common to plant "classified" documents during military-related investigations. Usually at trial some are found to be unclassified, or were unavailable to the defendant, and the govt. withdraws the complaint ... after a couple of years pass.

- then there's Snowden ...
> about expected value and perceived risk. Overall for most people the equation is always: (probability of data being mishandled) * damage < time and effort required to maintain my privacy.

That is the main reason. To keep privacy is too costly on purpose. In Europe, thanks to the GDPR you can get quite good privacy. But companies give you a 1-click option to be tracked, And then company that build products usually 1-click or 2-click to not be tracked. But ad-based companies will ask you 3,4 or sometimes even dozens of clicks to not be tracked. That extra effort is on purpose and should be regulated. When you get a pop-up "Do you want to be tracked (Yes/no)" most people chooses no.

It's more like towards feudalism, and that's what the surveillance helps achieve. That's why surveillance is dangerous.
Demanding a product to get better by saying that owning it might be perilous because of some missing feature IS kind of whiny, tbh.
They're not perfectly stable. The issuer guarantees you something about them: maybe that you can redeem it for $0.95 today (perhaps phrased as $1 minus fees), or $1.0 in a year. So the price will fluctuate a little below $1, based on interest rates, creditworthiness of the issuer, and simple supply and demand. This is exactly like a bond.

The trade is to buy the stablecoin at $0.96 and wait for a chance to sell it at $0.995. Your investment thesis is that someone else is selling at $0.96 not because the issuer is going bust, but because they need the funds for something else.

Thinking About Glue Code
Consider doctors, who are extremely busy in their profession. Although, doctors do not spend enough time talking to their children, somehow they turn out to be alright.

You're correct in that it's really a market capture problem as things are. But the popular proposals that try to co-opt Big Tech into the censorship game are popular precisely because of that market capture - it's a way to make it extensive without putting the government in charge of it explicitly.

So we can't really treat these two as completely separate right now. Indeed, if those schemes are allowed to go forward, the next thing you'll hear is that we can't break Facebook etc up, because doing so will limit how effectively some information can be suppressed. The more power is concentrated, the more it seeks to sustain that state of affairs, and the better it is at that - so why would we hand those companies so much power when they already are a major problem?
Because you carry those bad emotions with you then as baggage instead of getting over them. And then they will bias your character and the decisions you do. So your life wont be run by you, but by the hidden subconscious emotional baggage that you carry. Its like with fears, you have to face them to overcome them and then the rest is easy

One upside of this is that the nonconsensual "revenge porn" that used to plague many victims is sometimes actually disappearing from the Internet for good. I had a friend whose ex-boyfriend uploaded a consensually filmed video in the early 2000s of her giving him oral sex, with her real name, onto porn sites. She went the police and they said they couldn't do anything. She would file takedowns with the sites and the video would always pop back up later. It wasn't the ex-boyfriend doing it because he was in jail for some of that time. Online trolls sent the video to her parents, to her employers, and to her friends. It seemed like she would never get away from this video, but in recent years it seems to have actually disappeared. It doesn't pop back up. Hasn't for a long time, and even if it does again, it's been some good years of relief for her.
While technically true, the use of tech is still notable here because it was used to launder the mistakes of humans.

There is an incorrect tendency to ascribe intelligence to AI, which can make especially laypeople prone to assume that if an AI system makes a statement, that statement has a certain sort of validity to it that isn't necessarily justified.

Garbage in garbage out applies to AI just like it applies to any other software system, and society needs to develop more resilience to this fact.

The Theia IDE people have implemented a LSP-wrapper around tsserver [1], which works all right. Of course, the reason that Typescript does not comply to the spec is that it was built before the LSP existed.

The environmental cost is real either way. Without activation lock, more phones get stolen, then more phones are manufactured and sold to replace them.

There are already plenty of perfectly good phones in the world; putting stolen iPhone 12 Pro devices into the second hand market lowers the value of existing devices.
And he's always going to say yes unless it's going to some truly extravagant abuser (e.g. North Korea), or to a customer that would cause diplomatic problems with the US (e.g. China... maybe).

The state absolutely has the power to turn this into an instrument of foreign policy; it has chosen not to do so, in order to use it as an instrument of military-industrial policy.

(To be clear - the Israeli state is absolutely the actor to put pressure on if you want this kind of thing to stop, and indeed bears moral responsibility. But the actions of these companies are not so closely tied to Israeli state interests as to make them immune to lawsuits abroad, or even in Israel if they violate Israeli law.)
Thanks for the reply. Seeing an algorithm trade 1000 times per day seems cool but I’ve realised is not a sustainable strategy even if you find something profitable since the costs of doing that many trades will make it unprofitable.

I am basically learning algorithmic trading. I know it’s really hard and if someone finds something profitable they probably wouldn’t share it but it’s very motivational if you find something that beats the market even by a small margin.
"Punk" is meaningless in these contexts, and it should not be used, or at the very least it should be admitted. It's just riding on the popularity and the brand-recognition of "cyberpunk".

The most likely explanation for the behavior is that creating multiple admin users on a secondary partition is such a niche use case that Apple simply didn't test and/or consider it. This is a bug, report it and it will be fixed eventually.

Most of the reactions here are overblown to a worrying degree. Surely an average HN consumer should have more common sense than that.
I could tell what boot phase my 386 + 486 desktops were at by listening to the ticking of the HDD heads. When I installed Win95 on the 486 (the poor thing), the time until the o/s was finished with the drive quadrupled.
Agreed, "perilous" is a gross exaggeration.
Instead of using your low end GPU, you could get a TPU like https://coral.ai/docs/edgetpu/benchmarks/. Or rent a single GPU on the cloud which costs less than a $/hour and can be free in certain cases.

In terms of APIs, you can try WebGPU which is nominally meant for Javascript in the browser, but there are native interfaces for it such as Rust: https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu
Christchurch shooting is a good example, because the follow-up crackdown on associated content showed just how far this can go. Remember his "manifesto"? In NZ, its distribution was banned outright by law (or rather government order, but they have laws on the books that allow for it). Not so in Australia - they couldn't find any legal means to restrict it, so the government basically informally asked the ISPs to "do something".

And they did - to the point where a bunch of websites with forums were blocked outright because of their hands-off policy wrt comments (usually in some particular subforum; it's a fairly common way to keep it civil elsewhere) meant that there were a bunch of posts with links to the document.

The end result is that a bunch of completely unrelated stuff was blocked in Australia outright for a while, by private companies in charge of communications acting in unison - effectively, a censorship cartel - with no political or judicial recourse, since the government was not involved in it, and the ISPs were in their right, legally speaking.
Police only exist in a complex enough form of social consequence worth arguing about, where people don't have the material and mental means to comfortably enjoy life.

Concepts such as law, order and defence are topics that readily devolve - precisely because of widespread mental deficiency - into counter-productivity.

The base useful question we can ask as a species supposedly seeking peace, is how to best cultivate the material and mental means that demonstrably create it in us.
The real problem is not in finding an algorithmic strategy that seem to work on historical data - the problem is how to validate sure it will work in the future and how to be confident it's still working even if it's loosing money for some time ?
This is an interesting take. My only concern is that people consistently trade security for freedom in modern societies. I wonder how pervasive surveillance has to be to break this trend.
From the perspective of an independent musician, Vinyl makes sense. Streaming pays artists next to zero. You can't give away CD's, CD's are obsolete. Bandcamp is a good model, if you actually have fans / supporters, they will buy your music even if they can listen to it for free and you will get a good percentage of what they pay. Many of these supporters probably also want to buy vinyl if it's available. No one thinks Vinyl is sonically superior to digital, but that is not the point. It is a cool piece of art that you can own/collect that shows your support and it is fun to play records. A lot or new records are also multi-colored splatter vinyl etc. which is even costlier to produce and doesn't effect the sound but just adds to the uniqueness. It's the same as paying extra for a hardcover copy of your favorite book. No one is going to get rich by selling vinyl, but any other alternative is a just a joke.
Given the bad reviews of this book, could somebody recommend a good book about the topic at hand (software design)?
> Installing beta OSes side by side with your main OS is standard practice for app developers. This is not some arcane niche use.

The problem is not a multi-OS environment, but multi-admin setups on secondary partition (which are extremely niche). It's obviously a bug.
> Is this just baby-talk for non-techies, or does the author really think this is how IP4 addresses are allocated?

The former, probably. Nominally, that is how IPv4 addresses are allocated, but the mass of caveats and "but actually"s required is enough to bury it many times over.

(For starters, we actually care about network topology, which is only roughly correlated with geography. Additionally, address blocks are typically allocated to organizations, which again correlate only loosely with topology or geography. Those blocks are then subdivided on a basis that slighly relates to topology (but not geography), but only the extent that it helps limit the size of routing tables and BGP data. And of course there's all kinds of other messes mixed in with this as well.)

If you're looking for a PC that's not a headache to put together, is semi-mobile, powerful and quiet have a look at AMD-based gaming PCs.

I got a Lenovo Legion with 4800H(8/16)/32GB/2T/GTX1650/144Hz a couple of months ago. That's a really sufficiently cooled system. It almost never spins up the fans, it's powerful, has a lot of space, no RGBs and has a super boring, tasteless, anti-theft design that never goes out of style (but the last one is more of a personal preference ;) It's been great.
Nothing relevant here, just generic advice. Actually, it's so generic that florists, hairdressers and cabinet makers can perfectly make use of those 'habits'.
Your reaction is very common, there is probably a name for such thing, because it's a paradox. People always say "this or that is unsignificant to global warming", but all contributors to pollution are insignificant, it's the accumulation of all of them that makes it what it is, and with this kind of reaction, things just keep getting worse

Not only do I agree with this thing about electric efficient stoves, but I think we push our lifestyles much more in favor of environment, like not really "I have respect for the environment, and I drive an electric car", but more "I have respect for the environment, and I ride a bicyle" this means more to me (electric cars are still a large source of pollution, from their components: plastics, electronics, to the batterires, their maintenances..)

I am doing research into using the Language Server Protocol for applications other than editor integration. Specifically, I am looking at calculating software metrics using the LSP. My use case is definitely doable. However, the LSP is not a great general abstraction layer of source code, something like Diffsitter would probably not be possible.
One article that completely ignores that the DoJ offered Thordarson immunity for this false testimony and that the judge mentions the Icelandic stuff as part of the reason the extradition was valid. It is also used as further evidence of the only charge that isn't an Espionage Act charge, which is the reason people try to claim these charges aren't clear violations of a free press.

And here's the full quote that the article took one line from

>Stundin cannot find any evidence that Thordarson was ever instructed to make those requests by anyone inside WikiLeaks. Thordarson himself is not even claiming that, although he explains this as something Assange was aware of or that he had interpreted it so that this was expected of him. How this supposed non-verbal communication took place he cannot explain.

edit oh, and the Washington Post article is from July 8th. The original article claims the media ignored the report as of July 2nd.
Yes exactly that. Even if you backtest for many years it’s still possible that you’ll lose money because future although correlated to the past can always have different patterns.

Still it’s a really fascinating field to explore.
