> How could anyone honestly believe that mass collusion amongst a distributed and isolated group of people

This is pure speculation and I don't want to sound like I'm supporting the Post Office and Fujitsu's behaviour, which was despicable.

I wondered if their previous systems were, internally, considered to be very flaky. You then get a new shiny system with a very different set of results and instead of the response being "why is the old system and new system disagreeing so badly" you get the response "hey, this is great, the new system has revealed wrong doing the old system was not able to".

As I say it's a guess but I just wondered.
EB is kinda a mixed bag. Is there much production on EB? It’s great for q&d stuff you don’t want to get into specifics but I couldn’t imagine explaining my architecture with a big “EB does what EB wants to do here” bubble

Yeah, they make you either get DS-lite or, for a bit more, pure IPv4 (where you don't get any IPv6).
In the 2000s it was true too, but not nearly as acute as now.

The downturn in home building is decades long. And the 2008 cycle reduces the construction workforce even more, and it never recovered.

I think what people would most likely object to is the implication that every woman should want that.
I'm seeing a ton of [dead] comments in his comments page. Maybe you don't have showdead enabled so you're only seeing the non dead comments?
I actually like one-off requests from management. Not all requests, I try to deflect the easy/"easy" ones, explain why the hard/"easy" are hard, take the easy/"hard" ones because it would be stupid not to and actively seek the hard/"hard" ones.

To explain why "easy" problem is hard, the best way I found is to find a precedent. Like "remember that supposedly easy project that ended up costing so much money to the company, that's what you are asking me right now, I can do it, but don't expect a different result", or "No, I can't finish it by 10pm, last time it took 3 days, it will also take 3 days this time, if you want it to be done by 10pm, find someone better than me or reduce the scope". The goal, if you get the task, is to make it clear it is harder than it looks (bonus point if it isn't).

With one-off tasks, you get to learn a lot in many fields. Being a jack of all trades is interesting too. "Interesting" work can become stale if you are doing it for too long. You may think that spending all day working on a state-of-the-art project that make inspiring YouTube videos is interesting, but it can quickly become routine. But if you are recognized as a wild card, you can get to work for some time on that fancy project, maybe just because there is a library that crashes or because they need you do whip out a quick UI, but you get to see the environment, work a bit, and see if it is as interesting as it looks, and if it is, and if you really saved their ass, you have your chance of getting in the team, especially if it really is your field of expertise.
You can see that one because I vouched for it. Can you not see a year or more of dead comments? Do you have show-dead enabled? Most users don’t.

NPR is National Public Radio based in the US. Not sure why they would ever report on how long a Japanese anime that isn’t broadcast in US runs.

I had a friend who had a few psychotic episodes in her teens and early 20s. She fully knew there were no aliens, but that didn't stop the sensation that they were real and hiding in her apartment, or the actually real fright that came along with experiencing it.
If you have hundreds of unique passwords, I don't see an alternative unless you're a savant or use predictable patterns. But that doesn't mean there aren't ways to get around it. For one, using a password manager shouldn't stop you from remembering your most important passwords, especially those you expect to use in other people's machines. You can take some extra care to make these important passwords easy to remember while still being secure. I could go on but everything I'd say is quite obvious.
The part that needs more research is the level of difference between hospitalized and non-hospitalized COVID patients. They only had 15 who were hospitalized.
the question about the moral authority was a rhetorical one. Apologies if it came across as a genuine question.

I think you’re missing the point: Toyota made their decisions (which they probably had more data then you have for) and now they are making the most out of it, while also trying to extract the most value possible.

Does this, in retrospect, look like a mistake? Maybe, but most of the times decisions like this are made with imperfect information and there is a good dose of guessing involved.

Again, I’m not saying that what they did or are doing is good/bad right/wrong. I’m saying that it’s totally understandable and as long as this is within the law I don’t have a problem with it.

Also, research a bit the solid state battery work that Toyota has allegedly done. I’m not saying it’s going to pan out, but they definitely did not sit around twiddling their fingers and plotting on how to lobby more effectively.

Here:
https://afdc.energy.gov/vehicles/electric_emissions.html

Also factor in the carbon emissions for manufacturing the battery:
https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2021/may/11/viral-imag...

And depending where your battery is produced you need to use your EV anywhere between 2-5 years before you can say that you emitted less than an equivalent gas powered car. This totally ignores PZEV cars btw. It also ignores the environmental impact of the battery after it no longer works.

Also, here is a bulletproof way of reducing carbon emissions and reducing impact on environment: buy less stuff. Including but not limited to buying a new car less often. I’m gonna bet you real money that the impact my SUV has on the environment if own it for 12 years instead of 5 is lower, per year than if I buy an EV every 5 years.

So I’m not sure that you can claim EVs are much much better, but if you have any credible sources I’m open to changing my mind.
It goes even beyond a panic response. When drowning, a person cannot consciously control their arms. Nor yell for help. Basic inate responses take over. So even if they know exactlt what to do, they couldn't help themselves. The reading on the page is a great source of info.

That said, a number of those videos I don't know if they were full on drowning response, vs being in distress.

That's eye opening, thank you! I've once worked on a "hard" statistical model and all I got from my boss' boss was a "who cares" face. Then he was so happy to see our (to my view) dumb web app, he didn't even realized it was the model behind that app that consumed 80% of my time/energy :/

We use the dialyzer and also heavy usage of the @spec function signature annotation on public module functions to work around this. It’s an nice compromise between some defensive safety while still enjoying the readability of the dynamic typing.

And, now, this[1]:

> Among 1497 fully vaccinated health care workers for whom RT-PCR data were available, 39 SARS-CoV-2 breakthrough infections were documented. Neutralizing antibody titers in case patients during the peri-infection period were lower than those in matched uninfected controls ...

For the record, that's 2.6% breakthrough infection among fully vaccinated people who are healthier and more careful than the general population.

This one is particularly interesting in revealing the situational awareness of the lifeguards [0]. One jumps in from the left, then another when it looks like there could be more than one person that needs help.

At the same time, the two other lifeguards on duty on the right side reposition themselves: one stays on the right, the other moves to the left side of the pool, and both begin stalking up & down the pool length to monitor the pool as their colleagues deal with their situation.

It has the feel of a well-oiled machine to continue keeping the other swimmers safe even when overall monitoring capacity is reduced. A very good example of the need for-- and effective use of-- multiple redundancy layers in the realm of human safety.

I feel compelled to keep watching these at random until I can pick out the person in crisis by the time the lifeguard jumps in. After reading the article I am terrified of not being vigilant enough when my kids go swimming.

> I thought it was still considered essential everywhere to at least be able to connect to your personal IP address from the internet for personal usage.

Yes! CGN, asymmetric bandwidth plans, dynamic IP addresses, they're all treating the customer as a consumer. As if it's just a cable hookup. It's a shame, really. CGN shouldn't exist.

UDP "hole-punching" would still work with CGN, but in most cases you would need cooperation of a third party. There are also trickier ways like what samy.pl/pwnat does.

I'm on FIOS in NYC now, but when I was on optimum and spectrum they both gave me IPv6 delegations and, as far as I could tell, they never changed. Honestly I would not have switched to FIOS in hindsight -- it's not much better and I don't think I'll ever have IPv6 :(.

Yep. Just as bilog says. Navier Stokes.

There are additional aspects that may or may not be lumped in somebody’s exposition - such as the transport of heat and coupling of the energy equation in the compressible Navier-Stokes equations.

> it's local and in-depth generic reporting that's struggling.

Exactly. And what's killing it is the big news companies like the NYT since they get preferential treatment by social media and search.

If you search for wildfires in idaho or california, you will most likely get links to NYT, WSJ, CBS, NBC, etc articles first instead of local news sources. People aren't going to click or scroll down to get a more accurate or indepth local source.

As more people use search and social media for news, it will be the local news that will suffer as tech caters to the biggest news companies.

I bet an idahoan who searches for wildfires in his state will more likely get an article from the BBC rather than a local source from idaho.

Seems like we are in an era where only the biggest survive in all industries.
The writers of the show, perhaps by nature of having a lot of episodes to work with, made a stunningly large corpus of nearly universal childhood experiences. I don’t look fondly on my own childhood (not for any bad reasons or anything) but I do admire the thought and work that went into making a show relatable even for people with boring childhoods like mine.

Some of my favorite episodes are “Prove it”, where Arthur’s sister tricks him into taking her to the science museum by promoting pseudoscience, and the episode “Bugged” which contains a surprisingly dark retelling of “Metamorphosis” about being a know it all. Just a phenomenal show.

Hydrogen is simple a better element to build a battery around than lithium. That and more availability and less dependency on rare elements.
Being an adult without kids, I haven't really seen much of Arthur since the 90's, but I came across this episode and appreciated it:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIkrKjabzE0 (part 1)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKsWvCY0FP4 (part 2)

It's a good lesson in how group dynamics can cause social movements to get way out of hand. Being a cartoon, it's a little farfetched, but the episode was inspired by an actual event:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Third_Wave_(experiment)

I don't think Arthur tackles it particularly well, although the message at the end is decent. I'm nevertheless impressed that they even thought to try and approach this topic with such a young audience.
Yes, yes, you’re the exception, the modern reneissance man. r/iamverysmart.

But could you do what the fictional engineer in The Mysterious Island did, to start from mining, smelting, drilling, making chemicals to create a whole level of technology from scratch? There’s also creating civilization; i.e. the social and legal constructions which guide and powers us as a group; most of us have a vague notion, but how many of us could create a system of law and government from nothing? There is almost an infinite stack to know. Anyone claiming to know “all the layers” is simply blind to all the layers they themselves take for granted.

Ask HN: Why do hotels use hotel aggregators?
Hotels list themselves on Expedia et al, but hate when you actually use those sites and treat you horribly if you book through such a site (no points, no perks, worse room, extra fees, etc). And of course that leaves a bad impression of the hotel too, that they must be ok with. What is the calculus that causes them to still use the aggregators when they obviously don't value customers that use them?

Thank you for your valuable feedbacks and sharing your thought. I totally agree with your approach for a general Saas project/product and frankly speaking, I prefer as well your business model because it can bring recurring revenue instead of one-time sales.

Here in terms of Nextless.js, as the customer will have access to the source code, the revenue sharing like 3% as you suggest is extremely hard to implement. It raises a lot of technical challenge...

Perhaps in the future, this concern can be addressed somehow and your proposed business model shall be implemented. Have you had such concerns/experiences for your projects? Pricing is not an easy subject though :)

Lots of diseases result in nerve damage. Polio was famous for this, after all. Different viruses infect different tissues. This is why we don't like getting sick, and push vaccines where we can.

Infectious diseases that don't have long term effects are actually comparatively few in numbers -- those are the ones we tend to "get sick" with, for the simple reason that they aren't worth the effort of trying to control.

This "flu" thing just won't die. No one expert EVER likened covid to "the flu", beyond pointing out that, like Influenza, it presents as an upper respiratory infection. Everyone knew from that first cluster in Wuhan that this was much, much more dangerous. Everyone told you that. Everyone trustworthy, anyway.

So why do you continue to insist, after nineteen months, that this is just "the flu"?

Yeah, this is crazy to me. There is no difference between carbon steel, stainless steel clad, or cast iron in this respect. You preheat the pan until it reaches Leidenfrost and add fat or oil. Every single one, it’s the same.

This has been known scientifically for almost 50 years at this point. More people should get off the Internet and read Harold McGee
As a European this also amazes me. Sexuality is frowned upon and people are made to feel bad about themselves for normal human behaviour (yet at the same time most porn is produced in the US). The only European country close to this level of sexual strictness is the UK (and Ireland)

Then on the other hand, glorifying violence is no problem whatsoever. To the extreme situation we have now where showing a nipple is pure evil but shooting someone in the face is badass. I just don't get this.

Not that I care very much, Americans are free to arrange their society as they see fit. But the problem is that American morals tend to spread a lot due to cultural sharing, like movies.

And until Joe Biden starts ranting about Mexican rapists jumping the border or having to send money to "shithole countries," I don't see an equivalence between the two. As the article states, the "cuts" are the result of the slow speed with which the Biden administration has been processing applications, a result of the extremely outdated immigration bureaucracy and of Trump suspending immigration last year[0].

One might blame the Biden Administration for complacency (I would,) but that's nothing compared to the malice of the previous administration.
