That's plainly false. You can easily add onclick handlers to a tags, or have them redirect through a tracker, or basically any other thing that would work on a button tag.

Interesting that the author focuses on protein rather than calories.

If it's protein, and not calories, that are going to be an issue in PRC, I suspect the people in PRC will be ordered by their government to consume chicken instead of pork. one chicken per week per man is plenty to supplant a rice- or wheat-based diet, along with some vegetables. Chicken production can also be scaled rapidly, albeit if done quickly there will probably be outbreaks of avian flu.
Absolutely, but unlike the TV example today if you want 'smart' in your fridge you have to actively seek it out and hand over a pile of extra cash.

It is hard to have sympathy for a person complaining about a feature, they say they didnt want, that they specifically paid a lot of extra money for.

But it turns out he litterally did it so he could go on twitter and moan about it.

I feel like the "graceful degradation" writeup is incomplete. The obvious solution -- to me -- would be to have the tills continue operating as normal while their queue is full, but stop trying to write to the queue. This would allow you to sell as many items as people desire to buy, but you lose the ability to keep track electronically of what's been sold.

The ideal solution presented here is instead that the tills should bottleneck the customers so that they collectively can't buy more items than the central computer is capable of logging in amortized real time. This preserves the ability to keep electronic track of everything the store sells. But it does it by preventing the store from selling its inventory to customers! Instead of a loss in real-time recordkeeping, we have a hard cap on the amount of money the store can earn during the Christmas season. And the reason we've put the cap in place is that otherwise we'd blow right past it!

That solution is so anomalous-seeming that I want to see a discussion of what exactly the store's goals are, and why refusing to sell your inventory to customers in December is a good idea for a retail store.
For those who haven't read A Canticle for Leibowitz, I highly recommend it.

I was in the hospital for pancreatitis a few years ago, here in Austin. One thing that struck me was that they came around for their regular visits at least once every couple of hours, even with me being hooked up to all the machines. I never got to sleep more than one or two hours at a time for that entire period. And they screwed up my blood pressure medication and drove my Systolic up over 250, which lead to me learning a new level 10 of pain, and extended my stay in the hospital for a week. At least I learned that Morphine doesn’t work on me, but Dilaudid does.

Whatever else a hospital is, it is typically not a place that is designed for rest and recuperation and overall patient wellness. They want to push their curatives on you as quickly as possible and without a lot of regard for your mental well being, so that they can get you out quickly and move on to the next patient. Think of it more like a MASH unit, where you’re only supposed to be there for a short period of time before they stabilize you and ship you out somewhere else.

I grew up spending a great deal of my life in hospitals, because of my dad and his medical problems. And then my mom and her medical problems. But until recently, I never really understood things from their perspective. I hope I don’t develop hospital psychosis like my dad did, but I am definitely very wary of checking into a hospital unless there is no choice.

Squats are fantastic. They force your brain to recruit a tremendous number of muscle fibers and coordinate them simultaneously. The impact this has on how your brain/body works is really cool.

If you want to take it to the next level, look into the [power] clean (and press) or the snatch. These take the power profile of a squat, and add explosive speed to the mix. If you think simply engaging all your muscles is good, wait til you add in the speed component and/or the upper body... Definitely higher-risk exercises, but you get what you pay for in my experience. Just think about the kinematics of moving a barbell from the ground to as high as you can possibly hold it within 1~2 seconds. These are the most incredible exertions your body can possibly make. Some athletes can put out in excess of 4kW of power [1] when performing these movements. Imagine the adaptations the human brain would have to make in order to properly manage this amount of power.

Is a person legally responsible for the injury if he engages in skydiving but then gets injured because the pilot of his plane made a mistake or manufacturer technician of his plane didn't prepare it correctly?

Is a person walking at night legally responsible for getting mugged, because there's a known risk of getting mugged?

Is the responsibility for any action with known risk solely on the person undertaking the action?

And if this person is legally defined to be responsible should this person and only this person be corporeally punished for engaging with this risky action when it results in undesirable outcome for herself?

Since father is also equally responsible why not take out one of his organs he can live without as a punishment for the undesirable outcome? Or why not give him 100 lashes or something?

Why corporal punishment for a women but just a fine for a man?

Refusing women abortion is similarly barbaric. We just don't notice it.

The article does not go into much depth - the immediate questions about "why and how" are largely unanswered. It was written more as a polemic against "sterilizing immunity as a myth". Still, the few positive points which are present remain interesting, though thirst enticing instead of thirst quenching.

In the UK I saw a robotics company (as in robots for factories I think), a company called OCADO that does food delivery, so does all the logistics behind it too. Also insurance companies, banks etc. I have seen job ads for F1 racing too. Plenty of stuff out there. A lot of it on job boards but you often need to talk to a recruiter to find out what the job is.

Most modern bombs can be tuned for the size of the explosion + the amount of fallout produced. Also the fallout heavily depends on how high up the bomb is detonated - detonate it close to the ground, then all the soil and debris gets irradiated and thrown into the air. Detonate it high up and you still get the destructive heat blast and shock wave, but not a whole lot of fallout.
This move seems designed specifically to forestall calls for that requirement. Consider: Twitter are first pointing out that bots can be good, IOW "we're not banning them outright". Then they're introducing this non-mandatory bot label, which makes it seem like they're aware of bots and working on ensuring they can keep doing all the good things they do.

Of course, none of this addresses malicious bots in any way. In effect, this is Twitter showing they're aware of their bot problem, but unwilling or unable to do anything about it, and are therefore doing a misdirection as a PR effort.
Vendors tend to offer perks for that, like extended warranties, so it's hard to really blame them.

I don't think it's a stretch. You are seeing inside it, just with extremely low fidelity but the headline made no claim about the fidelity.

Something like this could be really useful for police or armed services who are about to raid a building. I'd wager they'd be the biggest sponsors of taking this study further.

Some cars in arab countries have a feature where the "travel prayer" is recited via the speakers upon starting the car. It takes about one minute [1]. Fortunately our company car hat a button to turn the feature off. Of course we always turned it back on to annoy the next (non-muslim western) car user. Saudi airlines also plays the prayer (or used to?), however by someone with a really deep voice and with cave-like reverb, which made is sound quite unlike any other airplane announcement. [2]

I'm thinking, all a glass bottle of Ketchup needs is a smart fridge able to detect that last bit and warn you about how hard it will be to get it out and offer advice on how to do so. Maybe some gamification could be thrown in, get more kudos the less you leave in? Yeah I'm filing patents and will contact Heinz... Think about the opportunity for notifications!
One of the main differences is what the tamper is made out of (the casing). You need a material that is reflective to the X-rays used to compress the fusion fuel. In Castle Bravo, this was made out of uranium-238, in the Tsar bomb, it was made from lead. Using uranium boosted the power output by about 2x, at the expense of making the bombs far, far dirtier. The extreme heat and the high neutron radiation from the primary (a fission device) detonating would cause the uranium to decay into more unstable isotopes (U-235, Pu-239, etc.) which would then fission themselves.

The ideology at the time was that a larger blast was more important, since at the time nuclear weapons were still to be dropped by bombers (No ICBMs for another decade). You wanted the bomb to take out the target even if you couldn't quite reach it.

The Soviets estimated that using the same technique would have produced a yield of 100 Mt, but for testing, lead was used to limit the fallout to something they deemed manageable.
A smart fridge would put the kids up for adoption in that case.
A lightning may contain between 200 and 2000 kWh of energy. There isn't any capacitor or inductor bank that large that could contain this amount of energy that fast. The additional trouble would then be making this energy useful, as capturing this amount of energy safely is not trivial.

On top of that, an individual wind turbine is unlikely to be struck often enough to actually make up for the investment of a potential capacitor bank that large.
You think of it as a clever hack, but the data analyst at your health insurer, seeing the sudden midnight disappearance of half of the stuff in your fridge, may view it as a symptom of depression.

"Seeing through walls" motion detection can be done with Doppler imaging and commodity Wi-Fi today using custom firmware. Hundreds of research papers have been published on this topic. The upcoming IEEE 802.11bf standard is scheduled to add that capability to every router in 2024, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27123493 & https://www.theregister.com/2021/03/31/wifi_devices_monitori...

> In three years or so, the Wi-Fi specification is scheduled to get an upgrade that will turn wireless devices into sensors capable of gathering data about the people and objects bathed in their signals... When 802.11bf will be finalized and introduced as an IEEE standard in September 2024, Wi-Fi will cease to be a communication-only standard and will legitimately become a full-fledged sensing paradigm... tracking can be done surreptitiously because Wi-Fi signals can penetrate walls, don't require light, and don't offer any visible indicator of their presence.

Ask HN: How to Retire in an Year?
Time to be creative.

I want to be post finance. Basically I don't want to worry about money anymore so that I can do whatever I want whenever I want. And I want to do it in an year.

I think 1 million USD should should do given I live in a country which is cheap. Or 100K USD recurring revenue per year atleast for the next 10 years.

Have any of you done this?

What all the things that I can try which can increase my probability of achieving this? Legally ofcourse.

I am not interested in comments that says it's not possible. Also not interested in comments asking what I will do for the rest of my life. I will figure something out.
Nope, they compared three languages and a couple of python variants using a for loop.
What would happen if the US declared war on China? That's the question, and the consequences would be too catastrophic for the US to even contemplate it unless faced with an existential threat, which the Chinese civil war isn't.

Regarding your second point, the rhetoric, if not outright propaganda, is always very interesting. In the context of the Chinese civil war, the mainland taking action against Taiwan is less of an aggression than the US invading Iraq or even Afghanistan. This is not whataboutism, this is just an observation on how terms used vary based on the country, not on their actual actions. Food for thought.

But back on topic: I think this article and these sudden mentions of Taiwan are political games to attack Biden more than anything else. They purport to suggest that Biden is weak and endangering the security of the US and their allies. Note that the person interviewed in this article is also a conservative, Republican supporter and critic of Obama when he was President.

Ehh... when eating, easily I always forget someting in the fridge and end up opening it x times. Now that is even after meal is prepared and already opened y times.

Laser detectors might be hard to find in living rooms but you could accidently detect it with the selfie camera of your smartphone. At least in the past, manufacturers cheaped out on this one and omitted the IR filter on it. You can try if that's the case by pointing an IR remote control at it from close up and see if it lights up when you press a button.

True, but just like in Haskell that data is not returned by the function, JavaScript functions are pure for I/O.
The blockchain allows me to cryptographically prove that I knew some information at a certain time.

If I was the first person to record that I knew this information, that's a pretty good proxy to proof that I created it. That makes me the author, artist, or inventor of this information.

If other people find this information valuable, then they might want to pay me because I released this information. Because I was the first person to sign the information on the blockchain, they know the right person to pay.

So the blockchain provides a way of tracking the author of information, which is not controlled by any company or government.
