> Denaturing hydrocarbons like in cooking will inevitably produce some of the above compounds, there is no way around it. You can try to avoid producing some of them by carefully steering conditions in a way that reduces some of the above compounds. But usually that increases the risk of other ones being produced. You can also undercook everything, but then you'll be left with unsafe food because of the bacterial risk.

You can use the sous vide approach, cooking to the safe temperature and no higher.

Pharma does deserve to do well in case they accept responsibility. But if they say “hey, if we screw up you’re paying for it”, that’s just having all the good stuff without any risk.
I never used it, seriously or otherwise, but I appreciated having it there:

1) Universal torrent support is prerequisite to broad adoption. Having S3 be part of that network is nice.

2) It gives a fallback to exploding costs if something I do goes viral. I have the option of a weekend hackathon.

... and so on.

It's one of those features I like even if I don't use.

Really sorry to hear that. I hope it is a hobby and not your job.

I remember when Nazis where a joke on the internet. That they are not quite that anymore is not completely their own making as there are some people obsessed with them and even start to mirror them. Or others that want to build a profile about standing against the obvious.

Suddenly there is a significant group that denies civil liberties like free speech or freedom of association. Free speech in interesting here, because it seem to trigger those that fear that Nazis are overtaking the internet. To me this is very indicative of reactionary behavior towards a vastly overestimated threat.
Listening is easier than speaking only when what you listen to is easy and at a pace you can follow where you can have things repeated.

Speaking is hard, but those native in the language is more likely to understand slow and broken speech with a little effort than a learner is to understand fast and unclear speech that takes shortcuts.

This is my experience with learning Mandarin at least, both using classroom teaching and Duolingo.
Hypersonics and the Need for Speed
The "hard-right" is normally bored teenage boys that are trolling for laughs and don't actually believe any of this stuff.

There is a meme online currently that says "My political opinions are based on who I am trolling".

As for Pepe being a far-right meme. It never has been one. That was misinformation to stir up a moral panic and push for censorship.

The Pepe has also been used by Hong Kong protesters, (IIRC) the yellow vest protesters in france and loads of other pro-democracy freedom groups outside of the west.

Only painful memories.
> First, you don't need 10k kanji to read. About 3000-5000 depending on what you read is enough.

You’re still grossly over-representing what is needed to read Japanese.

1. 10k characters is utter nonsense. I assume that people conflate the 10k words needed for JLPT N1 with characters. They are totally different, since words are often combinations of characters.

2. Joyo kanji has 2,136 characters. All government documents and pretty much all mainstream media use only these characters plus some kanji specific to names. Any kanji outside of joyo (e.g., an unusual name or a stylistic word) typically have a phonetic reading (furigana) next to or over the character(s). Joyo is what is tested for the JLPT 1 (the top level).

3. Hundreds of joyo kanji are very context-specific — that is, they are relatively low utility.

4. There are a few additional kanji outside of joyo that are widely known. Educated folks also know more than joyo that are specialist terms or stylistic words. It would be like an English speaker knowing words like “deoxyribonucleic acid” (DNA) or “ceteris paribus”.

5. Lastly, for anyone reading Classical Japanese or historical documents… well, much of the above is not relevant due to changes in the language (mostly simplification over time). It depends on what is being studied or read.

6. 3000 kanji nets someone “highly educated native speaker” status — think teacher, doctor, lawyer. 5000 kanji gets you nerd status — think professor or logomaniac.
To be fair, infections after the vaccine are so mild that few people notice them, thus will not isolate.

And the effectiveness at preventing transmission drops by something like 10% every month after the vaccination. Maybe this is due to delta-variant increasing?

And after delta, there will be epsilon ... and so on. Whatever strains escape the immunity created by the vaccines will be what spread.

De facto, vaccinations will not stop the spread and will not stop mutations. But they do prevent serious disease and death.

> The reality is they've been used for hundreds of years for cooking, without complicated maintenance routines.

But they have been used routinely: They seasoned themselves just by being used and they never saw strong detergents. "Iron rusts" was obvious to everyone because one was confronted with it every day and thus the drying for the night or oiling/greasing to protect against humidity was a natural task.

Nowadays, when we don't use our one cast iron pot every day, we need to replace the routinely usage with a maintenance routine.
You are pro-choice then?

Yes, there is one mention of microaggressions in the paper

> Not only repeated exposure but also a lack of
resistance within the chan communities reinforces such microaggressions.

What is your comment supposed to mean? Is it mentioned too often/too little so the rest of the paper to loose legitimacy, or what is your point?

Since I've never heard the term before, I looked it up

> Microaggression is a term used for commonplace daily verbal, behavioral or environmental slights, whether intentional or unintentional, that communicate hostile, derogatory, or negative attitudes toward stigmatized or culturally marginalized groups.

Seems highly relevant to a paper about extremists use of humor.
They don't. If a powerful server is poorly-designed and doesn't sufficiently reduce its power consumption when it idles (as this computer fails to do), then it doesn't meet regulation, but generally powerful servers are designed more professionally than consumer-grade Alienware gamer computers, so I wouldn't worry about it. You fell for clickbait.
The written article is very informative but the graphics will fall short for those that are visual learners, and may even confuse.

As i come to understand it from the written article, the reason light from behind the black hole can be seen, is the rapidly twisting of the magnetic field and the warping of spacetime that ocurrs.
However, none of the visual representations show any magnetic field twisting or warping of spacetime.
I think the point is that the control group and treatment groups are in fact the same group (you were giving them the same "service" before starting the experiment) and any difference in the beta_C and beta_T is just random noise. The key part of the argument is that if N goes to infinity the beta_C should be equalt to beta_T (hence it doesn't make much sense to compare them).
Well, in this case I would also like to know, out of pure curiosity. I cannot come up with a viable reason on my own why you would run 'man -w' as part of a test.

No, because it's often very hard to estimate until you're actually working on something. It's common to get a consensus estimate that something is "easy" only for some poor developer to be left with something that is "hard" and takes much longer than estimated.

Also, something might genuinely be easy for someone who has worked on that part of the codebase before. But it could take someone new a long time to get up to speed, again making that developer look bad (this is not to advocate that only devs familiar with the code should work on it - you want to spread the knowledge around).
But if you double the length of the sides on the hexagon, then you double the construction cost but quadruple the area. Should we conclude that bees should prefer to make their hives out of a single giant hexagon?
My family is on Google Apps free edition.

Google has been doing it's best to make my life miserable. It recently killed Google Voice in the free edition, so my younger child can no longer get a phone number. With zero warning.

I've been through this each time I've (tried) to use Google for anything critical, so I've stopped.

I mentioned a family example since B2B would be confidential. But I can count at least a half-dozen instances of Google discontinuing something an employer has relied on, leading to a world of pain.

My general cloud policy is AWS, Azure, or anything-but-Google. I have a similar anti-Oracle policy too. Once you're burned a few times, you find that some companies are too expensive to do business with.
> don't know what a vaccine is going to do for me (at this junction in time, maybe T+12 months will be different lets see what the science says)

We do know what a vaccine does, especially in the case of viral vectors(they’ve been around for decades). What specifically seems to be unknown?
It's way older. There are collections of jokes from Germany stemming from the WW1 era and from the Nazi regime, for example.
I don't think there is little incentive for anyone to curate a list of best bikes for under $500. There are plenty of incentives for journalism publications like MCN (motorcycle news) to do reviews of the products in the sectors they cover. There are plenty of publications about Cycling, it's a very popular sport.

The problem is that the monetization of the affiliate system creates a massive incentive for people to crowd out the real people who do this. Instead of googling which bike to buy and being met with a number of fairly reputable publications which specialize in this stuff, you're met with Business Insider and other trash which are all just following the incentive of trying to get their affiliate link clicked between the time you start researching and the time you innevitably buy something off Amazon.

I think the MCN example above is actually really good - since no one expects to get an affiliate payment from Amazon from someone buying a motorcycle, the quality of the reviews for "Best motorbike under $5000" are about a million times better than "Best bike for under $500". The good reviews do exist, you just can't find them, because Amazon has completely screwed the click through path from "Google X product -> Purchase on Amazon"

Some spending is "spent this or spend nothing". This isn't one of those cases, this is "spend on this now or spend other money later", because if you don't spend money on limiting how far-right extremists recruit young people, then eventually a bomb explodes somewhere.

Coping with that bomb isn't voluntary. There are proverbs something along the lines of "a penny of prevention is worth a pound of cure", they didn't become proverbs by lacking truth.
HN has a bit of the opposite policy, but it would be interesting to only allow downvotes if you have responded to the comment.

You would need a separate mechanism for flagging though to filter low effort contributions and it is questionable if that wouldn't just replace downvotes with flagging. Alternatively maybe only have that rule for comments above a certain length, although that isn't a good metric either.
They are pretty open about the business model, and to put a lot more work into the reviews than just generating a list of affiliate links 3ith the data available from Amazon‘s API: https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/about/

Surely the sharing of such sensitive personal data should require people to opt in, rather than opt out? I am in the UK and I haven't seen or heard any government information campaigns about this - no TV adverts, no billboards, no banners on websites, nothing in social media newsfeeds. Mainstream news coverage has been thin, at best.
Given that the president of the EU commission and the largest coalition in the EU parliament are conservatives and that the EU is evidently not an extreme left institution, I don’t understand why they should care about the extreme left having lost whatever you think they lost.

> Not trying to troll, but what are examples of progressive or soft-socialist governance working well, anywhere in the world at any time in history?

I think if you want to find historical examples of success you're going to need to have a highly inclusive definition of "soft socialist" or consider cases where people are fed and clothed but living miserably under the thumb of the government as "working well"

Historically blue cities in the US have been run by authoritarians with varying visions of what they want the place to look like who are supported by a bunch of boot lickers who believe in the vision. Examples abound on the US east coast. Recently it's become less fashionable to rule with an iron fist. This has lead to some serious problems where "crime with a victim" and "this behavior makes things seriously miserable for everyone around" laws and go unenforced but I think that some cities will see the West coast examples decide they do not want and then go strike a good balance between the extremes.

Torture, disappearances, embezzlement of aid, using civilians as shields. Iran comes in as supporters.

Calculus always eluded me.

Integration and differentiation came like the next step in school. You learned addition and subtraction, and its rules, then multiplication and division and its rules, etc. This went on and built on each other until you learned integration and differentiation.

Both had rules that weren't conceptually much more difficult than what came before, but in university it didn't help that I understood all this.

In the end I had to learn some tricks to find out how to modify a formula so I could integrate them. I would walk in circles all the time and end up with the same formula.
I used it 25 years ago (!) to build a tool for provisioning servers from a configuration file, i.e. generating files in /etc using macro substitution. I'm sure the kids are doing this more elegantly today, but it sure saved us a lot of time!
I won't lie, the mere possibility that Google had rescued TF-IDF from antiquity, grafted some neural transformer layers onto it, and perhaps even advanced its own search capabilities as a result was extremely intriguing. Although in hindsight, of course "TF-" stands for Tensorflow and TF-Ranking is yet another black-box GAN model that is the exact opposite of a beautifully simple formula for calculating a document's relevance to specific keyphrases.

Still quite cool! Just makes me realize how wistful I was for old-school algorithms, ones whose effectiveness at illuminating a sort of universal order within the chaos seems utterly unreasonable in light of their simplicity (TF-IDF in particular is so compact, you could scrawl the gist of it on a bubble gum wrapper).
I don't like the title. Sorry for nitpicking but "renewables" are packed together in opposition to what? To non-renewables? If so being second is actually the worst position to be in.

Only after looking at the picture you see the categories are "natural gas", "coal", "renewables", "nuclear", "other".

And the decline of coal vs natural gas is more significant than the rise in renewables.

And if you look at the second graph already in 2019 "renewables" were for some time the "second" source.

I would like to see a more insightful analysis and a better title
