I am not sure about discoloration -- I don't develop paper very often, and I don't use fixer for any reason other than to remove unexposed silver halide. (Without a fixing step, you could expose the film to light and run it through the developer again, and have another image. Or most likely, just completely ruin the negative. Fixers claim to do a lot of things, but washing away silver halide is the reason it's a mandatory step.)

For measuring exhaustion, I look at the datasheet to estimate the area of film that it can fix before exhaustion, and keep track with tick marks on my bottle. I typically use Ilford Rapid Fixer diluted 1+9 (100mL fixer -> 1L of working solution). 5L of fixer develops 2000 8x10 sheets, so 100mL does 40 sheets. I mostly shoot 4x5, so that's 160 sheets. When there are 160 tick marks on the bottle, I discard it and make a new batch. (Honestly, expiration dates are really my limiting factor. 6 months in a tightly capped bottle.)

Film photography is 99.9% bookkeeping and 0.1% art ;)
I'm assuming from DFW's reaction, the crowd most definitely missed his point.
Can you elaborate or share a link?
> If a site-blocking order is an available remedy, what analytical framework governs its use, and how must this framework account for the impact of such an order on freedom of expression?

On the one hand, it's unreasonable to expect a court to specify a perfect algorithm for determining which sites can and can't be blocked, but on the other hand, the fact that such a dangerous remedy has been invented by the judicial branch, with no clear guidance from the legislature, suggests that the system needs to "fail open" by protecting fundamental rights, until the government can pass a law that gives some parameters to how this censorship power may be used.
Not just a problem with Tesla. My Audi SQ5 with the 'Advanced Drivers Assitance Pack' will happily drive in to a stationary car in front of me.

It's a problem with radars, they don't detect stationary objects well.

That's pretty trite to state in the context of the information presented in this article. Evidently, insufficient care was given, and perhaps concern had been misplaced.

If the police will shoot you for simply possessing a firearm...do we really have the right to bare arms?

I guess we have the right to store an unloaded firearm in a gun safe.

Alibaba, of course. There are lots of low-end laptops. Some are probably junk, and some aren't. Buy from a manufacturer, not a reseller. Quantity 1 will cost a bit more.

You obviously haven't been to a hospital in Toronto in the last 10 years. Go visit St Joes, you walk in and take a ticket like you're at the butchers. The ticket is to get in line for administration. After administration you wait 12 hours for someone to see you. Just peek through the emerg doors and you see people in hallways lying in beds. The Canadian medical system is shit compared to the US medical system.

(Not disagreeing with your comment, just highlighting something)

It’s worth nothing that the Israeli study linked identified 275 cases of myocarditis, all but ~14 of which were mild, out of five million doses - a far cry from the mass death and destruction due to the vaccine that the vaccine skeptics are describing.
My best guess without wasting days and weeks of my life studying this is that some people with a lot of extra money laying around are passionate about blockchain, Ethereum contracts and non-fungible tokens so they are attempting to will a system into existence that eventually will stay afloat without their assistance. This system will be extremely useful is what they imagine and as early adopters, they will make their money back. If not, it was money they had to gamble. Of course, I could be imagining all this.

There's a serious problem of a widespread lack of access to family doctors, ER overcrowding, and extremely long EMT response times.

At least, there is in BC. Each province manages health care as they see fit.
There are roughly 40 - 50 fatalities for folks working on side of road a year?

"The tow truck driver was loading the vehicle onto the truck when he was struck by 23-year-old Michelle F. Parker, who was driving a Dodge Journey through the closed portion of Debarr Road at 3:07 a.m., police wrote.

The tow truck driver was brought to the hospital, where police said he died. No one else was injured and police said the tow truck driver would be identified once his family has been notified.

Parker was arrested and is facing charges of manslaughter, driving under the influence and driving in violation of license limitation."

My wife actually asked this of some professionals working in this space yesterday at a local awareness event (she works in community services, unrelated to drug policy). The answer (paraphrased) was it doesn't directly stop the poisonings. It's in the spirit of harm reduction to open up more support channels. One example given was about going to the hospital and honesty with health professionals. Currently there's disincentives for an addict to disclose their addiction due to legal actions that get triggered upon disclosure. Removing those legal triggers could (would?) allow for more supervision without legal consequence to hopefully reduce the overall harm. It gave us something to chat about.
Why are they reporting this in the media?
Don’t know about Clojure but in Scala that tends to be awkward and not preferred.
I concur with this view. Perhaps a more effective solution to prevent drug users from dying due to drugs is for drug users to stop using drugs?
do other manufactures call it full self driving and let you easily trick it while you sleep in the back seat?
Off topic: why do websites have a button to “keep reading” for showing the whole post? It’s already loaded, why not display the whole thing?
Reading this again, for the upteenth time, I'm struck by how much of David Foster Wallace's work had simple mores and cliches but expressed in such a high brow way so as to not feel silly. Infinite Jest, which I read at 19, felt so significant because he managed to say something very trite and cliche in such a powerful way.

Quote:

"""
Of course the main requirement of speeches like this is that I'm supposed to talk about your liberal arts education's meaning, to try to explain why the degree you are about to receive has actual human value instead of just a material payoff. So let's talk about the single most pervasive cliché in the commencement speech genre, which is that a liberal arts education is not so much about filling you up with knowledge as it is about "teaching you how to think". If you're like me as a student, you've never liked hearing this, and you tend to feel a bit insulted by the claim that you needed anybody to teach you how to think, since the fact that you even got admitted to a college this good seems like proof that you already know how to think. But I'm going to posit to you that the liberal arts cliché turns out not to be insulting at all, because the really significant education in thinking that we're supposed to get in a place like this isn't really about the capacity to think, but rather about the choice of what to think about. If your total freedom of choice regarding what to think about seems too obvious to waste time discussing, I'd ask you to think about fish and water, and to bracket for just a few minutes your skepticism about the value of the totally obvious.

I highly recommend the film version of "Interviews with Hideous Men" (directed by John Krasinski of all people). It captures the inner, quiet desperation of people in the 21st century.
Sorry, I should have been more specific. Sandisk Extreme, in particular. It’s not anecdotal but “common knowledge” in certain circles. I believe the more recent Samsung SD cards are better, but the older ones were basically notorious.
> Here come the tesla fans quoting stats about how safe tesla is.

I'm not a Tesla fan.

How many accidents have been caused by automated drive systems and how do their failure rates compare to normal human-driven accident rates?
To my understanding the operation is done. That makes it safe to report on.
You talk about "users" as if the majority of people are tech-literate. They are not. Imagine explaining to your parents what a "single use digital token" is. Now imagine explaining "it's a card that you only use for this".

Outdated/meat-space abstractions are useful for both driving adoption and getting laypeople to understand intuitively what you mean. And beyond that, most of us encounter dozens of them a day without blinking. Think about that the next time you check your electronic mail on your general-purpose computing device you call a "phone".
There are replies to another comment about it being a bug. They are saying that's just a cover. Standard conspiracy stuff.

But people are also questioning the whole idea of blocking messages at all. Everyone thinks they don't need to be protected, but the fact of it is that we're all vulnerable to manipulation. Hell, that's one of the issues that people take with media platforms. Their content selection algorithms and targeted ads are manipulative.
TekSavvy is not a great deal. But you get incredibly good tech support and they’re an honest company. I will, by principle, stay with them.

Bell just installed fibre to the side of my house for free and want to give me “2 years of 1GB symmetrical” for $35/mo CAD. Nope. Never in a million years will I do business with you, Bell.
It is frustrating that there are so many stories of insane bravery, from Chernobyl to any number of war stories to this, where the basic plot goes:

1. Leadership fails to plan for worst case scenario, because it's not politically expedient to act as though it might happen.

2. The worst case scenario happens

3. Brave people put their lives on the line to put out a fire they had no part in starting, that need never have been started in the first place

And this certainly won't be the last such story in our lifetimes. Glad these guys are doing what they can, but it's shameful that their talents need to be called upon to clean up crap like this.
I usually make coffee in a cafetière (french press), but in hot weather i like an iced latte. At home I make them with a moka pot; I have a small pot which can make a double espresso, which I needed to run twice to get my daily fix.

So I bought a “12 cup” Bialetti, which makes about a pint each time, which is enough to keep me going for a day or two.

And yes it took me a while to get the hang of getting it to siphon all the water through the coffee properly without over-cooking.

We have quality and standards regulations for all sorts of things, thankfully. That software doesn't makes it the odd one out.
What are some of the options?
This is not the right question to ask because it's an apples to oranges comparison for many, but most importantly two reasons.

1. Automated driving right now happens in a tiny fraction of environments that are self-selected to be safe, if you were to put as many automated as real cars into absolutely the same environment as real cars the rate of incidents would obviously be substantially higher

2. automated errors are correlated. One bug in the model likely extends to every self-driving car in the same situation. Inherent reason why you cannot trivially compare the dangers of automated systems to people.
It's not that it doesn't detect them, it's that all lane-following systems are programmed to ignore them, because the radar doesn't have the resolution to distinguish between objects in the lane and objects outside the lane, such as trees or bridges.

It's why Tesla is moving towards an optical based system, and why Waymo uses lidar.
I took a class simply named "Programming Languages" as part of my degree, and we focused on one different language each week for the entire semester.

The only two to make me go "wow" were Lisp and Haskell. They really are that strange and different.

(Well, technically the assembly language we used also made me go "wow," in the sense that I had sympathy for the suffering of programmers in the olden days, but as an EE you may have a different takeaway.)
It's plagiarized?
Its kind of brilliant... Like... what can a super-rich quasi-billionaire / hundreds-millionaire buy to impress their friends? impress someone at a party etc... You can buy a Lamborghini etc... but now what? all your friends have Lamborghinis, how are you different. You're nothing... unless you buy this virtual pet rock that costs X millions of dollars. And signals you are so F'ing rich you can blast a couple Million on a digital rock.

No. It's why I wear only full sleeve shirts.
I bet the inmates are required to be vaccinated and tested. The thing I'm noting is that family members are not and they come from all over, interacting with gas station employees, etc...
That symmetrical 1gbps probably had a 50 GB monthly quota. If you haggle, you can get unlimited for $55/month, two year contract, without TV etc.

Ask HN: Backup Google Account Before They Deactivate Me
Today I received a notice that Google is deleting my account because I am not old enough. The birthday on my account is January 1979, i'm 42.

I've had a gmail account since it first started (2003?) so the account its-self is 18 years old.

I also have a paid Google Storage plan and have about 2TB of photos, documents, data on my account. The helpdesk spent about an hour on the phone with me and said they couldnt figure it out and suggested I back up my data. I even sent them my passport copy showing my birthdate (in 1979!)

How the heck do I back up 2TB of account data? Is there a service that can pull all my photos and GDrive docs at least? I have 28 days until my account is deactivated according to google.
Ask HN: Is there a comprehensive list of seed investors?
I can go to crunchbase and find companies in my space and see who is investing, but that is likely to expose me to most active investors.

I'm looking to get comprehensive list of pre-seed/seed funds, VCs, angel investors, and accelerator.

List of funds and angel investors seems to be the most difficult to find.
I might be wrong since you and (presumably) jstx1 see it that way.

I heard his follow on joke. I took it as a joke.

It was funny because he knew they were cheering his rant, but he pretends for a moment that they were cheering that target of his rant.

So (loudest members of) the audience didn't get it, but we all do? Hmm. Doesn't seem likely.
You’ve got the right but they’ve got something better: qualified immunity.
I am content to live in Washington, DC. It has wonderful parks, it has the National Gallery of Art, one has suburban-feeling neighborhoods no farther from the White House than Murray Hill is from Wall Street.

Elsewhere? I'd vote for the upper Midwest, somewhere close to the Great Lakes between Cleveland and Milwaukee.
Eh, I just see them as "different" coffee. I have a decent burr grinder, buy fresh roasted beans, and brew with a Moka pot. I also have a drip machine when I plan to drink a lot of coffee over a period of time, i.e. a lazy morning reading. I've got an aeropress when I'm feeling like something a little different (or when I'm making coffee at the office). And I keep good ol' freeze dried coffee in the cupboard when I'm feeling lazy or want a quick caffeine buzz.

They're all different and I love em all for different reasons.

Though I will say I absolutely refuse to drink Keurig coffee. It's an environmental disaster and it has the strength and flavour of coffee brewed with used beans...
Yeah, it's a stretch and I'm partially joking.
And like the police it is often in their best interests to make sure the worst case scenario happens everytime.
Ask HN: Would You Pay for HN?
I disagree with your take -I don't see it being a question of moderation. You had many of those groups online (if not all of them) in the 90's and 00's. Unlike today, if you didn't like the forum you were on you could go to another one where you fit in.

There was a greater diversity of social gathering places.

Now -there's facebook, twitter, reddit and HN.

Moderation has ALWAYS been a factor and that's not what made the old internet better.

What made the old internet better was that it was open and more diverse (in terms of viewpoint and choices). The new internet is basically (on a social level) a few social media corporations which are becoming increasingly sterile.
One example provided, which I've not fact-checked and might be limited to BC, was that disclosing addiction during a hospital visit opens up a file with child welfare services.
For those curious the US is conducting the withdrawal now and Turkey and Qatar are providing security.

https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/us-launches-drone...

This mission is over and everyone remaining is being advised to hide or flee on foot. This is likely thousands to tens of thousands within the country. This includes children, btw...

https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2021-08-24/students...

Given the US provided all the information needed to detain (and kill) all citizens and allies, it will likely get ugly.

https://nypost.com/2021/08/27/taliban-kill-squad-hunting-afg...

My personal prediction is that we see a plane shot down on withdrawal. The airport is situated such that a bit of mortar fire could strand everyone. I’m really hopeful I’m wrong... I feel we are trading them legitimacy and a list of allies, for the opportunity to withdrawal. We shall see if that holds.
I find it confusing that a community that frequently acknowledges that free services treat their users as the product simultaneously has expectations that the free service should amplify their speech.

By contrast, I'm typing on a work computer right now. We deploy no special certificates to attempt to MITM traffic, nor will we ever.

I'm using a Chromebook, which allows me to run multiple users at the same time, each with their own profiles. Each user has their own encryption keys for their hard drive. We have no corporate network, no VPN, and instead rely on attestation for authorization.

I prefer to use this device for personal use because I know how safe it is.

I'm not arguing against comparing different policies, I'm just pre-emptively pointing out a flawed way of interpreting the data. You can see people trying to interpret it that way elsewhere in this thread already... for example in the math in this (now flagged dead, not by me) comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28342601

Neither of your points A or B are at all discussed in this data, nor are they responsive to my comment. I'd classify them as largely off topic and I'm not going to respond past pointing that out. The data at hand does not discuss financial costs of either lockdowns or letting people get sick. Does not compare risks between different age groups (apart from giving number of deaths under 65). Does not discuss policy ideas. Etc.
As another comment points out the screenshot clearly shows two red exclamation marks indicating it wasn’t delivered.

You can take issue with the censoring (and I do) but it’s not silently censoring which is much worse.
Two interrelated things.

First, metrics. When you click the button, they get a signal that someone has been reading the page.

Secondly, there are a lot of JS APIs that require human interaction before you're allowed to use them, for privacy reasons. By clicking a button, those are "unlocked" and they can send all your privacy-obliterating data back along with their metrics.

That’s not how things work. Their market cap is price per stock * number of stocks (the theoretical price to buy Ford completely).

You can also calculated their book value, which is their assets minus their liabilities, but that is smaller than their market cap (as it should be).
