I still think you can have good discussions, but you have to enforce the Chattenham house rule and be willing to boot anybody who breaks it. With the rule in place, and perhaps a moderator, it is very hard to play politics and very easy to learn something.

Normally an SMS was up to 160 characters long. If you wrote a longer text than that then it would be a separate SMS and the telco would charge you extra. Because Õ is only really used in Estonian it's not part of the set of characters for a standard SMS. This meant that the presence of Õ in an SMS would make the max length of an SMS 70 characters (less than half).

As long as they still use a <video> tag does the chrome or JS implementation matter? The tag captures the semantics that Google can now use to show the video in their search results! etc. Using custom plugins like Flash made this much harder.
I suspect this has a lot to do with it. If having kids got you on the steady job train, and you stick with it after they leave (at 55+, I assume most children are at least not counted in household size for poverty income levels), then continuing the job when they leave will probably have you above poverty income.

Not in response to your post, but on the general topic, there is a persistent issue in US statistics of using income levels to declare wealthiness. To me, having poverty level income only implies poverty if the person also has no savings. If the person has a lot of savings/investments and can retire and live off return of capital from 55-70, that may look like 15+ years of poverty in an older adult to statisticians looking at income number, but could be a very nice early retirement. Income is an easy number to get, because of mandatory reporting in dollars, but a single annual value doesn't tell a complete story.
Isn't it great, some years ago, ubuntu "was sitting on top of debian", but provides a good out of the box experience. Don't get me wrong, I like ubuntu a lot, but I wonder if we have a "NOPEos" in 5 years, sitting on top of PopOS.

It's turtles all the way down.
With Resource alarms, you can track and get alerts based on events related to resources. Presently, we support two events – 'added' and 'deleted' and you can use operators, service tiers, resource groups to further constrain a trigger condition for the alarm. So you can setup "notify me if any new resource is created" or you can be specific - "notify me whenever a new SQL Database of greater than Standard Tier is created"

This isn't only good for cost tracking but also for accidental and risky mistakes like you can track and get alert for accidental deletion of important databases and virtual machines almost instantly.
There's some evidence that increased padding leads to increased impact force in a wide range of sports, from boxing to running, that have a padded person initiating impact. Anecdotally, this is well known among hockey players and there's a social stigma against wearing more protective gear than average. I've even seen it implicated in pedestrian deaths as a result of driving.
If you've not had to deal with a codebase that takes VSCode longer than a few minutes to index, then you're probably outside their initial target market. If you've not had to setup a hosted code search tool (eg livegrep https://github.com/livegrep/livegrep ) because there's just too much code,
you've been lucky. If your projects can be scoped, and not pull in code from dozens of libraries, across dozens of teams, many of which are on different continents, you're doing a better job of organizing code than I've been able to manage.
Yeah I actually agree -- this is very in line with the semantic web and is in many ways is a much more elegant proposal than Canvas (though I love canvas). This will make it much easier for devs to embed a 3D model in a page without sideloading all of three.js or similar monstrosities. It will also enable 3D model search engines to more easily find models on the web because of the semantic <model> tag.
For me Unreal Engine is the bottleneck. It does run on Linux, but the experience is not frictionless (relatively speaking, for that software :) )
Nothing like a business exposing its alleged cost structure to try and justify passing on costs. It’s the worst argument. It’s not even an argument. It induces me to somehow be part of their business, when I’m not an employee, board member or even a shareholder. It’s TMI.

I think I will move back to Linux and put windows in a vm for any windows software I need to run. I did this in 2008-2012 and it worked well.

Then you can easily deny network access to the VM except for whitelisted IPs. Since the vm is just for a specific task it doesn’t need to talk to many.
Google does make more money from other revenue sources, but I don't think this is the best example. Chrome (on all platforms) allows the user to set any custom search engine as the default. On the other hand, Safari limits users to four choices: Google, Yahoo, Bing, and DuckDuckGo.

Why wouldn’t you list your family as emergency contacts? Sorry about the friend situation though, it’s tough these days
I'm not sure why you're getting downvoted - this seems like a pretty reasonable comment that explores one person's current thinking on the topic.

I don't intend to have kids. I grew up in an abusive home, and I'm still working on attachment issues and CPTSD in my mid 30s. My rationale: this shit stops with me. Awareness and desire to address these issues isn't enough when I know I'm still exhibiting behaviors that I don't fully understand, and I won't propagate what my parents taught me.

While I haven't 100% closed myself to the possibility of kids, I've decided (and accepted) that I will not pursue it without major personal progress, which currently has its own timetable, meaning the door is probably closed.
Lab-made mini brains grow their own sets of 'eyes'
From my observation in my social circle, there are two pressures that forcing not having kid or more kids. One is support system and second financial stability to take care or kids.

First, with both partner working & almost no one to support(from relatives/close family) during first 3-5 years of kids. It's super exhausting and one starts having second thoughts about having more kids.

Second, People want good future for kids. Daycare expenses, school, college etc. general thinking is if I can support one child really well and not two then its better to have just one.

In my experience I have not seen anyone who genuinely dont like kids or regretted having kid even at their emotionally lowest point. It just above two primary forces, pushing them towards not have anymore kids.
Did you find any industry ventilation standards related to all the compounds you listed? IIRC, ASHRAE 60.1 is the industry standard but years ago at least, it was based mainly on using "bio-effluence" as a proxy for air quality. I.e., reducing stink.

>install an energy recovery ventilating system.

These are a good idea, but the exact type is important or else you risk cross-contamination between the exhaust and intake. That's why many designs (e.g., heat recovery wheels) are generally banned in some applications like healthcare.

With the crowd that HN attracts, I'd be interested if anybody has implemented some sort of demand-control ventilation in their home.

The commons includes bombing other countries and waging unwinnable wars?

I have no problem paying taxes if they were actually used for the commons, but only a fraction are used for the commons. Far too much is going to benefit special interest groups such as defense contractors, public sector employee benefits and pensions that are far above what private sector employees get.

PTC, from my understanding, is that the train gets "positive orders" from a central server. The central server says "It is safe to move through X", and the train then moves through X.

If the sensor in X is broken, then the server will say "I cannot prove it is safe to move through X", and the train will stop.

I'm not a transportation engineer however, so I'll defer to anyone with actual experience in the field. But the idea is that our sensors are so effective today, that it is better to "prove" each leg of the journey is safe with "positive train control", rather than the opposite normal approach. (Ex: Sensor detects a problem, which stops the train).

That is to say: all sensors in the USA are in positive-train control mode. Trains will therefore stop if any sensor malfunctions. We're now in a "default stop" state for all trains, unless those sensors are working, deployed across USA.
Apple does "Shill Marketing" on online / social media platforms.

"Someone who works for a business but pretends not to in order to seem like a reliable source is a shill. Shill marketing is the act of using a shill to try and convince the public that a product is worth buying ... The concept of shill marketing is simple. People tend to feel more comfortable with a product or service if they know someone else who has a good experience with it. If someone who isn't associated with the company tells you how good it is, the claim will probably be more convincing than if it came from the company spokesman ... Oftentimes, multiple shills work together, reinforcing each other's story and engaging in a conversation about how great the product is. ( https://www.infobloom.com/what-is-shill-marketing.htm ).

Only a locked-down system needs to be "reverse engineered". All Apple has to do to prove that the M1 isn't locked down is to either release hardware information that will help other system developers easily port Linux / xBSD or other other OSes to it. Or release drivers for other OSes (like it used to do for Intel based Macs with "Bootcamp" to run Windows).
Ironically, modern streaming apps have far more accurate numbers than anything Nielsen ever cooked up sampling people, but Netflix made the precedence that they should be "secret sauce" and not shared publicly and most of the "Streaming Wars" diaspora today are following that policy/precedent.

We're in something of a worst of both worlds situation where Nielsen has an increasingly small number of viewers where traditional TV boxes work to get decent samples, has to rely more than ever on surveys, and distrusts all streaming viewership numbers because they are cloak and dagger white lies between competitors, despite in theory being way more accurate than all the previous tools (the surveys and the TV boxes).

It's almost wild. The most forthcoming to shareholders/the general public over the years has been Hulu and Hulu's numbers at times have suggested Nielsen's data is very, very wrong right now, but Nielsen doesn't trust Hulu's data at all because it smells like lies because Netflix does nothing but lie or ghost them.

The vaccines produce an immune response in the blood and are then are broken down and removed from the body. The only long term effect is immunity. It doesn't make much sense to talk about the long term effects of vaccination. Side effects such as they are will occur around time of vaccination.

> Given these trade-offs it is reasonable for someone who has already been infected to avoid the vaccine.

Given that people go to silly lengths to avoid small discomforts and things they are afraid of I'd bet you that many who would avoid the vaccine because they had already had it in fact hadn't and wouldn't be interested in a test to establish it because it would debunk something they are holding onto as it makes them feel safe. Simply vaccinating everyone makes the most sense.

> The evidence seems to be that the coronavirus will continue mutating and the vaccine will not stop people from catching COVID again at some point.

I don't think this is established at all but its a fast moving topic can you point me to such?
Good insight! Putting it in that frame, it sounds like encoded data reaching an endpoint in the wrong packet order.

In many of our daily jobs, that would be considered a bug and would result in removal of dependent features, or active reworking until resolution.
Do we? I don't think we do anything cheaper than an SRO. At the very least, tents in public areas (or on private land!) are not the answer. In any case, we have these campground solutions already. They are called "campgrounds". They are just not an efficient use of urban land, although sometimes they also exist close to cities, e.g. some in Hawaii iirc.

Mainly though, this is a strawman. Tents themselves are not the biggest problem when they don't e.g. block a sidewalk, piece of public infrastructure, or a road. The problem is piles of garbage, needles, dumping sewage into lakes and streams, increase in crime, not-yet-criminal or never-prosecuted safety concerns (e.g. someone I know can no longer take an obvious bike trail to where they're going because of some close calls with aggressive barely human campers).

> The lowest temperature that has lead to bird deaths in a controlled laboratory setting is 280 deg C

"Did any birds die?" is an approach to this problem that I would expect from an undeveloped nation a hundred years ago. It is both excruciatingly short-term in focus and so imprecise that the results are useless for anyone who is not himself a rat or a canary.

Your data answers the question, "To what temperature must we heat PTFE in order to kill small animals?"

It does not answer the question, "What are the long-term effects on humans of short excursions outside of normal cooking temperatures?"
My Job Search and FAANG Interview Experience
Wouldn’t wfh decrease the cost of living in the city, since currently most high paying jobs make living within commuting distance a requirement? To make an extreme example, cost of living on the Bay Area should go down if wfh becomes widespread. There are other reasons to want to live in SF aside from getting paid a high salary in tech, so housing prices should “fallback” to whatever people value the culture/scenery… at. What you would probably see is a more even (and healthy) distribution of growth in all metro areas instead of being centered in a few with all of the cost of living increases associated with that.
> Obviously with a ML/AI approach it would be different now.

Is it? The theory of block signals and path signals don't change because AI was invented. And I have my doubts that AI could do better than path-signal algorithms.

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

OpenTTD players, wassup? You can run these block signals / path signals in video games. Its a bit complicated to setup and the terminology is arcane... but the algorithms aren't so advanced that they require "AI" or anything. (If at block signal, wait until exit signal is ready. Etc. etc.). Its actually pretty fun (OpenTTD is a videogame built around these signals!!), because if you mess up your signals, you get deadlocks and/or "race conditions" (aka: risk of a deadly crash). But once you get used to the methodology, you can build incredibly complex junctions that automatically and safely routes trains everywhere.

That's why you had legions of railway nerds playing with trains in their basement all day: they're trying to get their path signals / block signals / chain signals correct so that those toy trains traverse their toy-tracks automatically without crashing. These concepts were like, from the 1930s or something (Path signals are newer)

EDIT: Apparently "before 1923": https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/117705681X. Definitely an ancient and arcane art of old wizards. Railway engineers were dealing with semaphores, race conditions, and deadlocks __LONG__ before us programmers even existed!!

It's super interesting that we've built the biggest possible chip, a wafer-scale beast, and then, immediately in v2.0, the question is: how do we interconnect these? How do we scale them out?

There's so many interesting interconnection technologies growing, but there's so little mainstreaming, so little general availability. AMD tried so hard to make HyperTransport a viable, interesting ecosystem almost two decades ago (as I understand it by borrowing a lot from DEC). But they gave up & now InfinityFabric is for internal use & communication only.

Meanwhile we have other connects like CXL, CCIX, GenZ, OpenCAPI, TileLink (on RISC-V). NVLink and other commercial offerings are there. Few are targeting quite the colossal width we see here, that we see in Tesla Dojo chips. And the presence on the market is unbelievably slim. Some CCIX and some CXL has been used, primarily as attached FPGA coprocessing, not a lot more it feels like. NVLink is well used inside NVidia ultra-dense boxes. But a lot of this tech is still in very formative stages.

While technically possible I consider that incredibly unlikely as a result of what's essentially a contract dispute. What would Apple's cause of action be to terminate, say, Epic from the App Store entirely?

They sort of tried this at the beginning of the dispute when they claimed anything running Unreal Engine was a security risk and should be kicked. They overplayed their hand with that one and a court blocked it.

Game theory applies to Apple too. What's their upside from banning Epic from the App Store? They face the risk that a court may take that decision out of their hands. And while they're doing it they are losing out on that 30%.
