My view is a bit more pragmatic....

I used to don ever thicker layers of neoprene to survive in the sea.... and still my hands would go pasty white and lose all feeling and function.

Then I read about this guy and thought, never mind the theories, he does actually swim in water with literal chunks of ice floating about in it, so ok, lets try it.

And yup, it works. I now swim in ordinary trunks and my hands go a beet red and carry on working.

So what's my theory?

Dead simple. I have a big log of fuel (overweight with a big tummy) I just need to get it burning well. ie. Get the bellows going and get it burning.

Toss in this bit of plain observational science... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nasal_cycle

ie. Your nostrils can and do change size.

My guess is the "breathe lots and then hold your breathe" triggers the nostrils to expand so it's easier to breathe lots.

Is there any more to it? I don't know don't care. I just know I feel better after one of these cold swims.

Weird. But true.

In retrospect, I'm not surprised that such a facility exists within humans. After all, many other animals survive in cold conditions, early indigenous tribes did and still do.
Maybe one day I will look back at that episode and conclude it was fine, even good
We've since announced that we're making full schematics and assembly drawings available to independent repair shops who get Framework hardware in. We actually chatted with Louis a couple of times to get his feedback on the plan.
Nah that's just like "your opinion, man" regardless of how realistic it is. That isn't fraud.

Saying something that happened or that exists that is also an untrue statement is required for it to go from opinion to fraud. Support your opinion with falsehoods to get a sale. Fraud? Talk about goals of being a trillion dollar revenue lemonade stand? Go nuts.

It is pretty simple to do telemetry and phoning home correctly; be transparent and give the user control. Show them exactly what is being sent, how it will be used, let them edit the data and let them choose to when/how send it or not send it. The 0ad project does this well IMO.
> We designed the adapter to be modular, with both the 1m AC cable and 2m USB-C cable detachable and replaceable, reducing waste in case your cat chews through one of them.

Thank you. This is one of my chief annoyances with Lenovo's connector, and it smacks of planned obsolescence, since there is no other conceivable reason for it. I think every brick I've had has failed in the same spot: between the connector and cord at the laptop, which, of course, is the non-replaceable cable.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teletext

An example of usage (I had no phone or Internet at that time).
Say you wanted to view the Formula 1 results , you open the TV, press the Teletext button then you would have to find from a table of content like page the number code/ID for the Formula 1 results , so it could be

311 - Formula 1 results

312 - Formula 1 pilots current points/results

313 - Formula 1 team points/results

football stuff could probably start at

301 - last week football results

302 - football stuff ###

So after you used it a few times you would remember that
sport stuff is starting at 300 , 301 -310 is football
310 -314 Formula 1 etc so you could just do

1 open TV

2 press teletext button

3 enter code from memory 311

4 view the information

Since there was no internet there was no other way to see this data anymore, so it was the only information on demand we had.

There was also a nice weather info page, I think it included more then a day so it was better then waiting for the news to hear the weather person tell you something.
^ this, so much this. Please, if your project has a UI, please include a screenshot or two. I can't believe in this day and age, I still come across way to many repos (or software companies) with 0 screenshots.
Denial is quite a river these days. Where else are you going to get a brain imaging study with before and after data on thousands of people? If that's not persuasive and concerning to you I don't think anything will be.
More like an anecdote then
Placing a user-supplied dictionary at the front of the archive is essentially how “normal” compression works.

The advantage of a user-supplied dictionary is that it can be transmitted once, out of band. With this approach it can also be larger than what would make sense for an individual file and it can take advantage of similarity between files.

But if you just send it along with the compressed data anyway, you’re not buying anything extra.
One interesting use case is syncing your bank transactions there. That’s what TillerHQ does for Google Sheets or Fintable for Airtable. Once you have the data there, you can use no-code tools like Softr/Stacker to build-your-own finance app or business accounting workflow. (Full disclosure: I’m the founder at Fintable).
A 13.5" laptop is our first, but certainly not last category. Just about every category in consumer electronics is missing a product like this, with rare exceptions like desktop PCs and what Fairphone is doing in the smartphone space.
Jotting down an algorithm and talking about complexity is probably easier than implementing it?
I think what a lot of people call the flu is actually "the sniffles" which desensitizes people to the danger. Influenza like you had is really, really bad. It takes weeks to recover and the first 1 or 2 weeks are hell.

>We have taken steps to ensure that we never store a full IP address (we now truncate it before hashing or discard it entirely

Let's say there's still 30 bits of an ipv4 address left after they "truncated it before hashing". How long would it take to brute force the entire truncated address space? An hour?
Lol, I just stayed at the SF Grand Hyatt for 5 weeks and noticed lots of bad design in the hotel rooms.

1. a shallow basin on top of bathroom counter that encourages splashing water outside the sink

2. because its a basin on top of the counter it's impossible to clean well under it so it looks disgusting if you happen to look on top of the counter under the basin. Like if you happen to push a toothbrush under there (easy) you'll likely never want to use that toothbrush again after to see what it touched.

3. because it's shallow the overflow drain hole faces up meaning bending over to get a mouth full of water has you staring straight into a moldy yucky hole. A more normal deep, more vertical sink the overflow hole might be just as gross inside but it's hard to accidentally look inside it and get grossed out with your nose and mouth being 3-4 inches from the mold.

4. The mirror like surface of the bathroom counter shows a very clear reflection into the back of the mirror light which has tons of gross dust and mold.

Yea, don't design like a hotel room (eg, bad design)

Note: The hotel was not bad, especially for the current price which I'm guessing is a COVID price ($150-$200 a night). It's just interesting how much form over function the interior designer's choices were.

As for your comment in general, I like interesting UIs but I hate bad UIs more. 2 examples I've run into recently.

* Match.com, if you start editing your profile it pops up an overlay to edit. If you click anywhere outside that overlay you lose anything you had entered. I wanted to grab a piece of text and lost several minutes of work.

* Hinge. IIRC if you start entering something and switch away to another app for a moment you lose everything you started entering.

* I forgot which app it was but today I needed to copy a phone number but the app wouldn't let my select it.

* Shopify's phone number entry takes 10 characters. So if you type 123-555-1212 you get 123-555-12. If they don't want the dashes why not ignore them. Or better, allow them and just ignore them on the server. There's no good excuse for forcing the user to format a common form of number into some other format when the computer can do that for them.

My point is, I'd much rather UI designers start with some framework that supports known best practices and also learning what are best practices before just making some random new UI because they feel the need to be different (not saying Material Design is that)
For those languages, I don't really see a need to paremtrize types on values. Because of the AMAZING generics support.

This specific study contradicts other studies before that came to a different conclusion. It's kind of a hen-egg problem, in which I firmly believe this study got it wrong.

No "science denial". Questioning of this specific study and disregarding your appeals for authority.
We'll certainly be complying with EU warranty requirements before we start selling there.

For longer warranties in general, that is something we would like to do. We're giving ourselves some time in market in order to price it appropriately, but since our product is easy to repair, we believe our costs for supporting warranties will be lower than it would be for less repairable products.
I want the comments to appear instead of the link!
more specifically the executable part contains the logic to decompress the remainder of the file, while still allowing a decompression program to be able to open and decompress the file (ignoring the executable portion of that file).

The result of calculation of the state of observer is linear evolution: the state of observer splits and entangles with the observed state and each part observes the respective outcome. Ironically Copenhagen gave the same result for Schrodinger's cat experiment: even before measurement it's known what states are in superposition and those states are "dead" and "alive", and it's still known without measurement too.

>that the number of observers that observe one outcome is proportional to the wave function amplitude of that outcome

If you mean the number, the norm of each state of observer that observes the respective outcome can be calculated. The statistics over the outcomes can be calculated too.
Indeed, the US tends to protect its criminals from justice, as long as they work for the government. It’s not callous, though, it’s just bullying. The “scapegoat” argument could make sense in a few countries without proper judicial system, but obviously doesn’t make sense with European countries.
The situation seems significantly more nuanced than the villain-line sounds, and I would suggest people read the following article before coming to any conclusions: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/07/audacitys-new-owner-...

For those who don't wish to, in summary:

The problem is that they can't DMCA the downloader repo (as it doesn't contain any copyrighted content), but the downloader violates their service's TOS and specifically costs them licensing fees, as the rights holders extract payment for each download.

Their only recourse, in this instance, is to sue... But if they sue, they risk outsized impact on the life of the github author, something that it appears they have no desire to do.

But what do they do, stuck between the rock of "this guy is costing us money and effecting our business" and the hard place of "if we sue this guy he may end up a political prisoner in China"?

So they say that awful sounding line. The guy is an bumbling idiot when it comes to optics, clearly, with no understanding of how what he was saying was going to be read, but I don't think he's as villainous as the quote makes him out to be.
Next species for humans to domesticate - cockatoos can be used as automatic bin openers when you need to throw out your garbage!

also, according to the article, they sound like punk rock!
> ...these are the people who (usually) play games with you...

I don't think this even matters, to be honest. Not only is interviewing good for you personally (as you said), but also lets the company gauge the talent pool in the job market a bit better.

Furthermore, if you have a positive experience with the company, there is precisely nothing stopping you from recommending it to your friends, should they be looking for work.

However, for the most part i agree with you in response to the previous commenter's post - interviewing is good in general, even when you don't need a job at that exact time. There's also the possibility of just reaching out afterwards, if the situation changes.
Exploitative colonialism and multinational corporations are definitely things that exist, but countries that do neither still manage to produce a high standard of living by having low levels of corruption. This is what all countries with high standard of living has in common, not stealing from other countries.

Besides, such exploitation doesn't even help the standard of living in the home countries anyway, since the profits are more likely to be stashed in offshore accounts or reinvested in more of the same shenanigans, rather than be invested in the home economy.
Mehhhhhh...organic and / or natural anything is based on separating fools from their money. That's not to say that there aren't small numbers of highly informed people who understand what "organic" agriculture is doing, it's to say that the vast majority of people who believe things about "organic" foods believe wrong things. It's conflated with naturalness marketing woo.
Glad you're ok, but I'm surprised you describe SOB as a slight inconvenience. In general, SOB is a pretty bad sign-- you're having trouble getting the one thing you'll die fastest without. Sure, you can put up with temporary mild SOB if you know it's going to stay mild, but not everyone can know that :/
I remember reading the old Paul Graham essays where he says one of the main reasons they picked SV is because everyone is always smiling and optimistic, open to new ideas. Is that still the case these days?

This argument is philosophical nonsense from people fully disconnected from real science. This isn't to say his mind didn't work. It's entirely possible to produce extremely sophisticated mental constructs fully divorced from any connection to reality.

Imagine if nobody had figured out any parallel between programming and math and claimed you couldn't get in any way from the latter to the former!

Dualism is complete and total nonsense. Red is just a label used within a certain pattern of neurons the same way main is a label in a program. If you don't introduce nonsense you don't then find yourself with the hard problem of explaining the result of your own mental gymnastics.
This may not provide you with the desired results - you usually want to hire people for their technical skills, not how good they are building an online presence and marketing themselves.
If they are the "Punks of the bird world", then what are New Zealand's Keas? I heard from a New Zealander that they will completely dismantle your convertible car (with a soft top) or your bicycle, if you leave it with them.

That was interesting.

> But ultimately, should Google have hired me? Yes, absolutely yes. I am often a dick, I am often difficult, I often don’t know computer science, but. BUT. I make really good things, maybe they aren't perfect, but people really like them. Surely, surely Google could have used that.

To me at least, being a dick is a negative that outweighs making good things, especially for a large organization. Maybe google made the right call.
That might the point for some third world countries, and the US, which openly protect their criminals (usually war criminals) from justice.

With more civilized countries, the idea is that the person accused is still being tried, but in its country court, with the assumption that if they are guilty, they will get sentenced anyways.
I did look into the full context and nuance and wrote a fuller response here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27927878. I'm not looking to pillory anyone.

Essentially, I argue that - perhaps counter-intuitively - the actually empathetic and good faith thing to do would've been to just file the lawsuit rather than post what he posted, despite the claim that they're doing all this out of empathy.

Maybe I'll change my stance on it in the future, but those are my current feelings on it. At the very least, it's indeed one of the worst and least self-aware ways anyone could handle this situation.
Can you explain? How are wages artificially low? Why is insolvency the solution instead of lowering payroll taxes or whatever business owners generally advocate for?
Sorry, that’s not the reason. Fauci has since stated that he was lying to protect the supply of masks for medical purposes. Whilst the scientific consensus has evolved on masks, that has nothing to do with this lie (stating information you know to be wrong as fact is called lying). Nor does it have anything to do with his change of heart.

https://edition.cnn.com/factsfirst/politics/factcheck_e58c20...

(and of course it proves what everyone does kind of knows: misinformation doesn’t just come from “weird” aunts on Facebook and Russians, but from official authorities if they feel lying to you would protect their interest, conveniently equated to societal interest. This becomes especially questionable when financial authorities do it and especially reprehensible when politicians use their positions in authorities to further their own agenda/ideology. Doubly so when it’s racist)
Facebook is beyond useless when it comes to constructive discussions. For all practical purposes it counts even laughing or angry reactions the same way as a simple like and there is no dislike. The very real effect is the current information/trust crisis where even if someone were to patiently explain for the 1000th time that no, COVID is not a hoax or whatever the current ridiculous stupid shit is currently pushed, a newer irrelevant comment will be displayed with the explanation buried deep somewhere.
It was a bit of a relevation for me recently to find that Firefox on mobile has an embedded QR code reader. Since most QR's are URL's anyway that helped me out here.
Hey! Love the entire concept behind it. That being said, for mass-adoption and a large parts "ecosystem", do you guys anticipate you'll be able to get the initial price for the laptop down in the future with either cheaper casing materials or after recouping the initial R&D cost for the custom motherboard design and such?

It's totally understandable that the first product from a rather small company would demand some sort of higher price, your initial investment into R&D and product design & manufacturing must've been huge! But is this something we can expect to get a bit better in the future?
The necessary part is only that the prospective subjects aren't protected by strict regulatory regimes like in the United States. Somalia, as, essentially, a failed state, I assume, has lax medical regulations and is a possible candidate for experimentation.

I think it's a bit racist for you to generalize my description of a poor and under regulated state, like Somalia, as being equal to "black people". Not all countries in Africa are like Somalia, you know. I suggest reading a bit more about Africa. I personally enjoy watching YouTube videos made by creators in different countries, African countries have a wide range.

As Mark Twain said, "Travel is fatal to prejudice". Today, we can virtually "travel" with the click of a button. Not all black people are poor Somalis!
Nope. I've seen many times seeds from letfover of tasteless salads grow into delicous plants after being just throw away in a fertile garden.

And honestly I met so many farmers that have no idea what tomatoes should taste like it's not even funny. Dining at their table, I hear them rejoice the produce in their plate is so good while I cringe because they feels like clown noses compared to the real thing.

Just like people can't fathom that we used to have bird migrations that cover the entire sky, people don't realize what we have lost with food. And they think they do, they think you are some kind of bragging posh to tell them that that's not supposed to be like this.

But I ate strawberries from my mother in law garden yesterday. It felt like eating sweets.

I haven't eaten some like that for 20 years, and I'm a very picky buyer.

Her soil is full of life.

Fruits and vegetable have been selected for being awesome for centuries. If you treat them well, you will not want to eat a kit kat instead.

But I don't blame the kids that do: currently, the kit kat tastes way better that whatever they have for lunch.

True story. During ww2 Aussie diggers used to post a lookout for their superiors they would nickname the cockatoo while they were gambling or misbehaving. The cockatoo would make noise letting their fellow soldiers know of the incoming officer.

This habit is named after the same habit the birds have for predators.
Thank you for this! I love the colored bezels, even if it's not much, it's one of those little things that make a difference.
