You didn’t mean it was happening, but saying that it’s “almost impossible” that it isn’t happening doesn’t come across as moderate as you might have intended.
Ok, but the headline makes it seem like it definitely was, when there's clearly room for interpretation.

You'll still be lucky to get 300-500 cycles out of them if you go down to 20% charge or so. A 'Normal' car battery can fail in 30-150 cycles if you do that, hence the 'deep cycle' part of it.

Fine for a trolling motor, but if you're deep cycling them in a power system, that could kill them in a couple years. Usually you'll want to size them so you never go below 50% discharge on a normal basis.
I’ve had to do this before to avoid my rent going up several hundred dollars at lease renewal time. They offered me the unit right next door for $500 less than what my then-current unit would cost. The new one was identical in all ways except it was mirrored.

I wish they didn’t just take the well established name of a principle and re use it in their distro-name. As much as I appreciate this initiative I think they should consider the importance of naming and branding. An original product should have an original name.
I've had several former employers I wouldn't have wanted to maintain any sort of relationship with, for reasons up to and including them being likely to try some sort of mitm shenanigans and commit the fraud themselves.

I think this situation might be a strong case for better id verification and ubi. We've got the cryptographic tools, the funding, and the evidence that other systems are failing terribly. We just need the political will and legislative implementation - Yang had a great foundation for it.

What everyone forgets is how important 'notifications' on Facebook are. When making a post, many if not most residents are likely to see the update. It may even be better than physical mailers, and I doubt many other options even compare for awareness.

A website is unlikely to get nearly any traffic, and especially not timely views for upcoming events. Emails will probably head to spam or not get read.

It shouldn't be Facebook as the default, but the simplicity of reaching most of your audience is valuable.
I have always wondered about the causes behind Québec's anormaly high PISA score in mathematic¹ and I think that your annecdote is probably highlighting of of them.

Well you're flat wrong about the controversy bit, not even reaching the substance.
> BUS FACTOR OF ZERO

Bus factor is usually defined as the minimum number of team members that have to be hit by a bus to put the project in jeopardy. The Wikipedia article linked from the site defines it the same way.

So a bus factor of zero would mean that the project is in jeopardy even if all the maintainers are alive.
The thing I found most interesting was the ungodly mess they found in the spreadsheet of the raw data. I almost never see papers backed by a link to the spreadsheet or other software used to calculate the results, but I feel like that ought to be expected for publication nowadays. I wonder how many other papers would implode if their raw data were easily available for download.
just a curious question, should we be concerned about this? i know misinformation is an issue but, that's not gonna stop it considering how people were before the internet was super big. if anyone remember when people use to believe there were people putting hiv needles inside the seats at movie theaters? yeah, people spread stuff, even without the internet. creating a bill actually might make it worse considering how people would just start believing it was done to censor the truth. we should try better to open up dialogue, it might work better than creating laws and just reinforcing paranoia.
Huh, that is almost as ridiculous as using nameplate disk capacity units that sound the same, but are are different than the ones used and reported by the operating system.

In your first comment you seemed to be talking right by the person, but I guess not.

Not completely accurate.

Studies with negative outcomes are not required to be published by the drug maker. You can virtually keep trying the same drug and "get lucky" with a single trial, and just register that one with the authorities since the standards for replication are still very low.
Exactly.

That's why I said that it seems almost impossible... but that's not very clear or moderate over text, my bad.

Let’s not forget about the ‘Vaccine Confidence’ project which is doing the opposite, paying influencers to say vaccines are safe and there are no risks

The honest answer is vaccines are not risk-free, but also probably not as dangerous as some people think.

Autonomy as a concept doesn’t get you very far if you’re seeking fulfillment or meaning. Sure, it’s an important component of fulfillment, but you don’t even need complete autonomy to be happy. You can be happy with compelled marriage or accidental childbirth. This article, and I think you, are too focused on autonomy and material conditions.

Yeah, LFP is where it’s at as far as longevity and price and price per cycle and safety.

The efficiency of a complete cycle of storing then retrieving energy into hydrogen is quite low and there are thermodynamic reasons (due to the phase changes between liquid and gas) that limit the achievable efficiency.

Hydrogen might be a possible choice when high energy per mass or power per mass is desired, but it is a very bad choice for the purpose of this new iron-air battery, i.e. stationary storage with very high energy capacity and very low cost.

Iron-air might indeed be the best choice for medium-time energy storage, with low cost and good full-cycle efficiency.

For very long energy storage times, e.g. years, synthetic hydrocarbons would be preferable to hydrogen, due to much easier storage and handling.
I've actually started using Facebook again regularly, recently. Not really to connect with friends... mainly for Marketplace (RIP Craigslist, unfortunately) and to post on a couple active private Facebook Groups. Local community groups and some for hobbies/interests.

What strikes me is how exhausting using Facebook is for these purposes.

To read any Group you are constantly tapping tiny a "View More Comments" button. Very hard to read FB as you would HN or a forum, despite some great Groups and information there. When you get to the bottom of a group post, it shows you an endless scroll of "similar" content from entirely separate groups. I hate the entire experience. Anything to get you to keep scrolling and see another sponsored post.

Marketplace started out as a modern, local, second-hand goods CL competitor, but has devolved into shipping new cheap meme items. My main Marketplace feed is now crap like Rick & Morty stickers. Or the constant sponsored ads for new furniture or other products. Very hard to use Marketplace how I want to, which is finding local used antiques and unique items. I really wish CL had adapted to the new mobile landscape and competition a decade ago.
Another explanation, less popular, is that Apple restricting to WebKit actually helps foster browser competition at the moment.

Let me explain. Right now it's WebKit vs Blink (Chrome and all Chromium-based Browsers, including Brave, Vivaldi, Opera, Edge, etc.). If Blink were to be allowed on iPhones... you'd see Chrome become even more dominant. Firefox is dying on PC, has less than 1% mobile share, and is no competition in this case.

Requiring WebKit is what prevents an even greater Chrome monoculture.
It will probably be the same as it is now. Between Fall to the Spring period the number of viral diseases rises, so there might be higher restrictions again.
This is not a matter of opinion. The collection of CVEs reported (which represent an unknown fraction of faults that could in principle be found) clearly identify which are memory usage bugs of a type that could be prevented by a compiler. My reading is that the large majority are not.

If the demonstrated complacency of Rust coders toward potential bugs is factored in, and inexperience with the language among potential reviewers, use of Rust in the kernel could actually increase the number of exploitable faults. I do not assert this would certainly occur, but no one can demonstrate it would not.
I don’t think you need ultra wealth to be free of most inconvenience.
Off your link: "It would appear as though Resident Joe Biden and his team of treasonous usurpers may be responsible for at least one of the campaigns, and this through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)."

Saying "there is a public health campaign to increase vaccinations" does not make the risk real. Please link to sources that actually show that instead of something that calls people "treasonous usurpers" and links to InfoWars.
> this is much harder todo than it sounds.

Cherry picking patients is not hard, since this is entirely up to the trial's recruitment criteria. This is also what makes comparing drugs virtually impossible since no 2 drugs in the same market apply the same recruitment criteria. This is how manufacturers invite the discussion about "superiority" while competitive drugs are almost never compared directly in the same trials.
As others have said, how much does that really curtail the meth making in this country? I'd be surprised if it's over .1%. So everyone else has to jump through hoops so the agencies can claim a hollow victory. This type of thinking is rampant in the US and it gets so tiring.
Yeah, China domestically got really good at LFP chemistry. The US doesn’t make LFP domestically, and from what I understand it’s overall less common outside of China. I’m a big LFP fan. Under-rated and already capable of many things people claim for new chemistries (long cycle life, much safer, low cost, using very abundant minerals, etc).
This is more about curbing western ideology

Private English tuition is/was? the bedrock of western values in China.

It's where mundane, textbook, multi-choice English taught in schools gets emotional cadence, individualism, expression and creativity.

The govt wants English to be computer code as it's taught in public schools.
>But if you still have to go inland, it's the same problem but worse.

Population centers are disproportionately near the coast/harbors.

This is often mentioned whenever people discuss sea level rise from climate change.

According to the UN, 40% of the entire world's population lives within 60 miles of a coast. I believe the proportion for the US is similar.

I think this is important in understanding why it is feasible and cheap as a % to ship things around the world.

Of course, there are rivers and railroads too.

If we are going by that analogy, to governments the “chrome” is important when the “pipes” underneath are a common resource it regulates.

I don’t think govs regulating the implementation of anything in the OS is a good idea, but we could at least expect some wrist snapping to unlock the situation.

Why is that a high hill to climb? It's more like a slippery slope. Until recently it was definitely the expectation that your government information would stay only IN the government.
Awesome. I love that people are coming up with homebrew carts for old systems like this, but does anyone have insight into how Nintendo might might respond to this legally? I just thought they were really litigious and it seems like something their lawyers would be all over.
Typical reaction from Chinese government sympathizer/nationalist. Blank downvote or outright rejection with no explanation. I don't think you need to bother to hide my post, the free world is waking up to how bad the Chinese government is. So do Chinese citizens that are awake.
Retire at 59? Good luck.
Very difficult in the US because the Federal government has no authority to require one, and the Supreme Court has consistently ruled that any regulatory or back door methods to effectively achieve a similar result is not legal.

It is one of the reasons ID resolution in the US is largely outsourced to private entities, which have no such restrictions.
React Refactor Code #1
Yours is a positive take; mine is much more pessimistic. Now, companies that tutor students will have to register as non-profits and won’t be able to raise money or receive investment from foreign companies. It is this last bit that really drives this policy. Banning foreign influence in tutoring is in line with Xi's continuing desire to monitor and control all aspects of thought and influence. Bloomberg reports that "all foreign tutors and foreign curriculum will also be banned."
As a long time gamer, the idea of cloud gaming is very appealing, but the latencies and the lack of good internet in most places is a huge barrier.

I personally will never play games via streaming. They aren't the same quality, there is latency and you don't really own any of the games. Then OnLive died out, I lost all of the games I bought on there.

It seems wasteful to spend this thread rehasing the utter disregard the legislative branch has for enacting strong data and privacy legislation (California's CCPA aside), Equifax's willful ignorance towards data security with no consequences for them and no recourse for citizens who had their data leaked, etc. It's not easy, it hasn't been done yet, and it's a high hill to climb. Have to get in front of the folks who write the law, who currently aren't making it a priority.
No, it says that a someone or a few people tried to attack and flag a post to death, and all their comments from others were also downvoted. Nothing says that this got "widespread approval". The top comment could be +0 -12 and it just means all the others are worse. Only an admin can know if any comment got upvotes.

From watching this thread out of curiosity of why it was attacked so viciously, I saw every post go immediately down, no positive time.

All this successfully did was attract a bunch of anti-vaxers, people pushing it, and a few stragglers who saw it before it was flagged.
A public benefit corporation that provides a way to keep family and friends in the loop. No news. No businesses. No politics. Lots of baby and dog photos.
The endless stream of EV pr pretending EV's are the inevitable future is getting pretty annoying. Used car sales are at an all time high in the US. power grids in most western countries and certainly in the USA are incapable of supporting a massive wave of EV's even if government sweeteners and ICE poison pills force 'adoption'.

Cars today are far too tech heavy. People want simple, robust and long lived vehicles with far fewer bells and whistles. When you look back even 25 years it's very revealing how simple and longer lived they were.
I guess you're right in many ways. These days smartphones are everywhere, they're common technology, something akin to a TV set. There's nothing special about them any more, maybe even for small children? Thus they're also easier and easier to use just like a tool; something that you simply forget about when you don't need it.

Got me thinking. Thanks for your reply.
> death rate among people who had the Pfizer vaccine was almost three times that of the AstraZeneca jab.

Why not someone shorting Pfizer, rather than Russia?

It's very amature-ish, Russia would know it would get exposed, but did it anyway? Russia is good at this.

Also why France and Germany? English speaking influencers will flow to Europe, but not so much the other way.
This tries to reduce it to a scheduling problem, but reduces too much.

Let's take a much simpler game than life, like chess. If the chess coach said "the most important thing is controlling your time", how sufficient would that sound as a winning strategy?

Sure, time control could be important, but it doesn't really guide anyone on how to thing about the strategy and tactics. In fact, time might not even be an issue before you lose the game.

Or on the flip side, if you had infinite time, you still couldn't exhaust all the combinations of movements to decide the best move.

Cultivating wisdom means working on honing our "meta-heuristic" machinery, the heuristic that binds all our heuristics together, so that we are adaptively more likely to find and process the relevant information to achieve our goals in life. It has to dynamically assess the relevance of every other constraint of the game and cannot reduce the solution to a hardcoded normativity like "just control time" "just have more freedom" "just have more money".

SARS-COV-2 is a single distinct virus with little variation. While it appears to be able to infect some domestic animals from human hosts, we have yet to find an animal reservoir. (If we had, that would be the end of the lab leak theory.)

And we have two vaccines against it with near 95% effectiveness, which compares with the estimated effectiveness of the smallpox vaccine.

If you want another point of comparison, look at measles. It’s not eradicated, but it’s not endemic either. In fact it is quite rare (far rarer than the flu) in counties with competent child vaccination programs.
Little known fact that early floppy disks used a circular punch card
The old friends who assume such negative intent… Are those friends worth keeping around anyway?

I deactivated my FB page over a year ago and never looked back. I still keep my Messenger and Instagram accounts active, so while I’m still in Facebook’s sphere of influence, I’ve got two ways of staying in touch with most of the people I like and I’m no longer susceptible to the doomscrolling and perpetual outrage machine of their newsfeed. It’s been a huge net positive for me. Much like fitness or improving our environmental impact, harm reduction is still worthwhile even if it falls short of some the most extreme ideals. I’d love to be completely out of Facebook’s ecosystem but for now, I’m happy to settle for limiting its ability to wreck my mood and devour my time.

I use ddvault's recommended service, migadu.com. Not for everyone, and they had a little fiasco with their free service in the past (they no longer offer free service), but I have had zero issue with it and it supports essentially infinite domains for no additional charge, which I really like.

Others recommended fastmail which I also like. Some people have concerns with it because it is based in Australia, which a couple years ago passed some pretty far-reaching data subpoena laws, but they don't seem too concerned about it: https://fastmail.blog/privacy-security/advocating-for-privac...

Facebook is heavily oriented toward photos and audio/video. Does this emphasis ever have a discriminatory effect on, e.g., sight or sound-impaired users.

A local or state government using Facebook exclusively for announcements would arguably be covered by the ADA.

Apple was in critically bad place when windows dominated with Internet Explorer, and Adobe with its apps. These two companies dictated where the users would be, and Apple had to beg them to play nice.

The iPhone was a whole new platform where Apple had 100% power on where it could go; opening the door to third party browsers to bring their domination to the platform from the start must have been seen as suicidal.
