1500W for 120s gives you 180kJ.

Energy required to heat water by one degree 4.19 kJ/kg/K

Then, heating by 80K (20C to 100C) requires 335.2 kJ/kg.

Thus, at most, you were able to heat 180kJ/335.2kJ/kg = 0.53kg~0.53liters. A large tea mug.

Hardly the 'large pot' that was mentioned above.
Maybe spend those millions on lobbying state and local governments to address the reasons this has become a problem in the first place. Also, all either does is make the products we have to purchase that much more expensive since, you know, the retailers are passing those expenses to customers.
I'm not related to this project, but I am an Android dev, and I would guess it has to do with the WiFi changes detailed here: https://developer.android.com/about/versions/pie/android-9.0...

Google often changes the permissions/allowed access/APIs to potentially sensitive device data, and frowns upon/bans using old APIs.

Probably the app was built with permissions changes in mind and perhaps had to set that specific minimum version. It is possible for some things to have the new API but run on an older version, through support libraries, but not everything is supported that way.
Why not both? There are many companies and countries where you can do just that. Work a 30 hour week with a month+ vacation a year.
Ah, I was thinking it was that paper.

This is the conclusion, pasted:

>This study demonstrated that natural immunity confers longer lasting and stronger
protection against infection, symptomatic disease and hospitalization caused by the
Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2, compared to the BNT162b2 two-dose vaccine-induced
immunity. Individuals who were both previously infected with SARS-CoV-2 and
given a single dose of the vaccine gained additional protection against the Delta
variant.

So two things:

1) The vaccine still helps those even with acquired natural immunity.
2) The study is comparing the vaccine targeted towards the original Wuhan variant against a moving target.

So I don't see why we should discount vaccines and rely on natural immunity when we can still update the vaccines to join the fight against new strains and collect more data.

Obviously there's still great value in this study in perhaps justifying delaying doses for people who've had a previous infection in order to get more equitable distribution of vaccines.
> choice not to prosecute theft

Wrong. Wrong wrong wrong.

"The judicial branch of California explains on its page about Prop 47 that the new law “reclassifies certain theft and drug possession offenses from felonies to misdemeanors.” Thanks to Prop 47, shoplifting offenses involving property valued at less than $950 are prosecuted as misdemeanors, not felonies, but they are still prosecuted. Such offenses are punishable by up to six months in county jail."

Get your facts straight before spreading disinformation.
Will this be applied to self-driving taxis as well, once we have them? Will we have less right to protest unless we can afford to own, instead of rent?

This is a gray area even when it's a private company deciding how their services may be used, once the company gets big enough. But in this case it was done at the direction of government, which I think makes it unambiguously an infringement of freedom of movement.

Pei mentions in passing that China's median age will rise significantly, but he spends no time on the causes, and so kind of misses the point.

China's working age population will decline by about 250M people, about a quarter, by 2040.[1] (Aside, its elderly population will rise by about 200M in the same period.)

GDP is produced by working age people, so this decline is the headwind that China faces. It's also why the Chinese state is trying to boost fertility,[2] in a heavy-handed, state-ish way.[3] GDP is consumed in raising children.

1. This is known, because nearly everyone who will be of working age in 2040 is alive today, and immigration and emigration are negligible for China.

I was thinking of various 80% flexible working models and there are some great set ups.

4 on, 3 off is usual

But if you break it up to two week cycles you get:
4 on, 2 off, 4 on, 4 off
4 on, 1 off, 4 on, 5 off

And even wilder if you do three week cycles:
6 on, 2 off, 6 on, 7 off

Imagine a full week off every third week! Of course, this likely is not very realistic because it would not line up with collaborators well.
Did the user create the OS, libraries, or the transistors? By the user's actions, their files were created. They own that data. We should expose it to them.

The other things, they probably did not create. We don't need to expose that.

Nice whataboutism, but there is a difference.

Edit: Also, yes, we should give the user access to the OS and system libraries. They own the computer, and we should allow them to do with it what they wish.
> The question is privacy "from whom".

For me, privacy means that I have control over who I disclose what to. But context matters. If I'm in my own house, I (should) have almost total control over disclosure. When I'm in someone else's house, I have very little control as I'm subjecting myself to their rules.

A smartphone is probably the most intimate, personal device most people will ever own, and it's the equivalent of their house. However, if you're using cloud services, then you're in someone else's house and are subject to their rules.

That's why, in my view, doing the scanning on-device is not only dangerous, but unethical. Doing the scanning on the servers is neither of those things.

I get the argument about rogue employees, but I don't find it persuasive. I'm told that Apple keeps your data encrypted on their servers, although they hold the keys. If that's so, then "rogue employees" are something that Apple can, and should, control.
I don't think you'd find many people who'd argue with that. But Etsy's requirements are far different from a lot of DoD systems.
Most of it is fabricated and fudged statistics as part of publications catering to corporate PR and the pro-surveillance narrative anyway:

Great, great post. Agree completely and wasn’t aware of this until you wrote it down.
Vivaldi? I certainty trust the people behind that one.
As an avid marijuana user here, no, this is not the narrative that should be spread. As others have said, weed makes you incredibly impaired, just in other ways.

You are slower to process inputs, you are less likely to consider threats or obstacles as dangerous, to an extent your ability to judge distances is hindered, you are much more easily distracted (highway hypnosis, for example, becomes a huge problem - especially with blinking lights and whatnot), your ability to focus is oftentimes next to zero, causing you to be distracted often by music or other passengers in the car.

Plus, driving slowly in and of itself is a hazard - the "speed rule" exists for a reason. If everyone is going 30 mph over the speed limit on a busy highway, you are more likely to cause an accident by going the posted speed limit than if you were to go the same speed as the rest of the traffic - even though it's technically illegal.

So please, do not use marijuana and drive. Stay at home and watch Money Heist and postmates a McFlurry from McDonalds or something.
Jennifer Senior's excellent article on burnout, "Can’t Get No Satisfaction" [1], contains this gem of a quote, from psychotherapist & burned-out burnout researcher Prof Barry Farber:

> [...] their level of caring couldn’t be sustained in the absence of results

> Farber often calls burnout “the gap between expectation and reward,”

Also:

> “My clients are perfectionists,” says Alden Cass, a therapist to both corporate attorneys and men on Wall Street. He’s young, about the age of a hungry broker, and he looks like the men he treats—strong features, dark teased hair, Turnbull & Asser striped shirt, nice watch. “They have very rigid ideals in terms of win-lose,” he continues. “Their expectations of success are through the roof, and when their reality doesn’t match up with their expectations, it leads to burnout—they leave no room for error or failure at all in their formula.”

> Yet ask Cass why his clients are burning out, and his answer isn’t any different for a banker than it would be for a public-school teacher; there’s a gulf between what they expected from their jobs and what they got. “I can’t tell you,” he says, “how many people come into my office and ask, ‘How come I have this money and I can’t find happiness?’ ”

> So what does he tell them? “That happiness equals reality divided by expectations.”

You might have better results if you use different traceroute options (e.g. --tcp on Linux, which uses TCP SYN for probes) or other traceroute-like programs (e.g. lft, paris-traceroute, mtr)
It depends on how your personal incentive structure is modeled. Behaviorally, everything for me is goal oriented. I reward myself when I accomplish something (hard), this is how my parents raised me. Psychologically, I didn’t earn a vacation yet.

Honestly a lot of security guards would have fun subduing a guy like this (as heroically as possible), and that's why the stores have policies against it.

I don't expect this will change any minds, and I even think maybe it's the right political move, placating people in this way.

But I hope it's at least obvious to anyone not deliberately deceiving themselves that these issues are political and not just a question of "following the science".
None of the states I've ever been, over the thousands of times I have partaken, with the maybe hundred different strains, with different percentages of indica/sativa, at different dosages, in different forms (flower vs. edible vs. whatever else), have ever been safe for me to operate a vehicle.

No, nobody is an exception. You are not superhuman.

Please stop normalizing this. This narrative makes it harder to change the minds of dissenters and legitimize legalization for those people that actually benefit from it.
Yes, I know what AppImages are. The problem with AppImage is that hardly anyone packages their software as an AppImage.
You are right and I apologize. It also applies to your statement about other people.
Yeah. I aint saying who I am, but I'll anonymously corroborate this. Nic had a lot of good ideas, but he micromanaged the hell out of low-level product decisions, forced us to use specific broken products that made me swear the vendors must have naked photos of him somewhere. He threw new requirements out of left field in the middle of demos that were not real requirements written down anywhere, but for whatever reason, we had to change course in the middle of development and do it anyway.

I'm sitting here right now on a Friday afternoon while the Air Force is on a four-day weekend ahead of labor day, trying to deploy to a broken ass application his DevSecOps reference architecture forces everyone to use, but it doesn't work because it uses a checksum algorithm disabled by FIPS-compliance hardening in this environment, which we have absolutely no control over. The biggest impediment to even getting this far was another vendor enterprise service he forced us to use that was broken until July. We were stuck just waiting on a bug fix to be provided. And, of course, we have to use Iron Bank container images for everything, but Iron Bank container images are themselves perpetually broken. They do security hardening, but no functionality testing, and their process of pushing breaking changes to the same tags can break you in production unexpectedly. And you can't pin to the actual sha because Harbor only holds onto five orphaned shas at a time that don't correspond to a tag.

He's touting a lot of accomplishments here that are accomplishments because pushing broken functionality and calling it done is a very easy way to say you delivered faster than a normal DoD program that has to actually prove it does what it says it does.
Windows 10/Pro costs 145/259€.

If you paid 30 bucks you paid for a stolen or otherwise illegally sold license.

Actually it's 6 years. There were no free upgrades before Windows 10 as far as I'm aware.

I was following the development of WSL and got the impression that The people that work on kernel kinda know what they are doing and even listen to requests. The network team takes long to respond but still kinda implements requests. And NTFS is developed by a single person that lives in a wine cellar with a machine gun (as seen by every new file system feature being built in layers above ntfs.) And explorer and other user facing features are done by monkeys on typewriters.

It's the opening of Pandora's box. Scanning your device is a huge paradigm shift; we all know the cloud is "someone else's computer" and untrustworthy but thus far one's device was sacred and no one dared touch it.

The floodgates are open now; politicians and other "interested parties" have watched this unfold very carefully and gleefully noted the majority didn't care as much as everyone expected, so they'll definitely be pushing for it now.

Imagine Windows Defender (an antimalware / antivirus distributed with all versions of Windows and enabled by default) starts scanning one's hard drive (and attached external drives) for image files (it already scans documents and executables and even uploads samples of malicious binaries to Microsoft for analysis): how would you / the world react?

How is this question relevant?
Both state and federal election will be surprising I think.

I know several Labor/Greens supporters who are gobsmacked by these lockdowns because they work in areas where they see the detrimental effects on society's most vulnerable. My psychology sister-in-law for example! She would never vote the Liberal (conservative) Party - for her the party "brand" is toxic. But she's absolutely set on not voting for anyone who supports lockdowns.

I also know many "ordinary" folk (not college educated, blue-collar workers) who early on were very supportive of lockdowns and the state Government, but it has genuinely taken its toll on them and they are now sharing anti-lockdown posts on Facebook. I don't know how they will vote because they also hate the Liberal Party.

On the other side of politics, I know many life-long Liberal Party voters who for the first time will be voting for someone else. They believe the party has abandoned its values.

I don't trust any of the polls. On our last federal election, even the exit polls were predicting a Labor Party win! So they couldn't even predict how people would vote by asking them after they had voted!
I think you're missing the point that they would have just rolled with some different symbol instead. People like this don't become violent as a result of liberals losing their minds, obviously.

Semantic quibbling over the provenance of the symbol is a distraction from the violent ethos and activities of those who adopted it.
Ah, I see you've updated the question:

> Do you need DSM to rebuild?

I don't think so. I've never had to do it without DSM, but since it is just mdadm and lvm you should be able to connect all the remaining disks to and Linux box and run the appropriate mdadm commands to fix the array.
I find it curious that you mention your not being offended at some gesture that happens to mean something a couple 100 or 1000 miles away from where you saw the gesture. Why would it require extra cultural sensitivity to realize that, if you visit some other place, that they have a different language (verbal and non-verbal)?
I didn't want to get into terrorists, but both sides of the conflict are killing innocent people, including women and children. If you tallied them up, I'm not sure which side would have higher numbers. One side can shoot people from the sky, the other uses a more manual approach.

If one side is (kind-of) hailed as heroes while the others are called terrorists, how could I pass judgement on one of them, without passing the same judgement on those we tend to call soldiers or commanders?

I don't think they are doing something unprecedented - in pretty much all wars atrocities were committed and wars are atrocities themselves. When they don't have other realistic ways to fight back, while not condoning, I cannot judge them.

Back to rich folks: If someone kills 10 people for whatever, another provokes a war for profit, killing many thousands, yet another organizes mass addiction for profit, killing many thousands, who has most and least guilt? Please answer.

Only one of them is a candidate for hanging in western world. Do you think it's proper?
Sure, but so is letting "unlimited" just turn into looting by the privileged or some sort of toxic "my manager won't let me take more than a week off". Which is what I've been getting at. People love to condemn Unlimited PTO as some sort of toxic trap, and it certainly can be, but it all comes down to if your HR department is competent and cares. If your management is bad, having fixed PTO isn't going to save you from them.

> I have yet to see a team that really does asynchronous work right.

I think the Linux kernel developers can be considered the biggest software team that does asynchronous work, and it works just fine.

Honestly just some basic mailinglist software installation goes a long way.

And an organization can still have a process in place on how to get synched when its needed (scheduled calls, impromptu emergency response situations, etc).
That was my point. Expecting a kindergaten teacher to do anything beyond those things you listed is not reasonable. It's great if after teaching a day of kindergartners they can then do an evening teaching college classes, but that's so not the norm. Stating that a teacher at this level is not fully versed in binary is not an insult. It's more insulting to think that someone was able to construe that from my comment.
And thats why I love HN, some topic with notation I have no idea about but I my ADHD will solve that for sure. Thanks for providing the entrypoint!
It’s a shame we limit things that way, keeping kids from learning more than their parents.
it's a clear cut case really, the elementary dev issues an ultimatum to the repo owner, the repo owner points out that they do not have any legal basis to issue such an ultimatum.

if elementary os people do not have a registered trademark to enforce this, then they shoud have "recommended" the repo owner to change the name, not giving an order and linking their company brand webpage.
Depends on which way round your hand is -- V with folded fingers/palm facing out, it's the peace/victory sign.

V with back of the hand/knuckles facing out would the insult -- supposedly originating from English archers insulting the French at the battle of Agincourt. According to legend, the French would cut off the index & ring fingers from captured English soldiers so they couldn't draw their bow string. So the English would wave the two fingers in the V formation in the general direction of the French in order to insult them! At least that's the legend anyway ...

> What kind of training do major tech companies do? I've never done any in my career, outside my degrees, and not everyone does that even! Is that unusual?

I wouldn't say it's unusual for most tech employees to fail to avail themselves of the training opportunities in their company. But that's not because of a lack of opportunities I would say.

Many licensed professions have mandatory continuing education requirements--you're required to take a dozen-ish hours a year of classes in your field--and so there's a pretty big cottage industry of actually providing and discovering those opportunities. Since CS isn't licensed, there's fewer of those opportunities around--although there is some, and if you work at a large company, you might even get periodic mailings about some of these opportunities.

Instead, a lot of training in the CS fields tends to be a mixture of hands-on training, learning about stuff outside of the company (and potentially conveying it to other people internally--we've had learning about containers taught to us that way), and going to seminars or conferences. It's worth noting that if you work at a large company, there's a decent chance that the company has already budgeted a certain amount per person for training, so if you find a conference that's not totally irrelevant to your interests, you can probably get manager approval to go to it, fully paid by your company.
Compassion for other people? We've evolved to have a society for a reason, stepping over dead or desperate people on our way to work isn't good for us either, even if you don't care about them. There are solutions, specifically access to treatment and "clean" drugs that have a much lower chance of killing, that can actually help people.
