>>They are not required to disclose the contents of the fracking wastewater fluid.

>Majority of water used in hydro fracking is slick water. This is normal water with friction reducers added to it. Typically 1%. Though can change based on the design of the frack. These are maybe not disclosed to the public since they typically are proprietary formulas that each vendor creates on their own. Each wanting to protect their IP from other vendors supplying the friction reducers.

How does this make the claim that they are not required to disclose the contents of the waste water false? Are friction reducers mostly similar and non toxic? It is irrelevant that it is 99% water as most industrial waste is mostly water. If I pumped out water that was 99% water and 1% mercury it would be incredibly toxic. The issue is certain chemicals end up lingering in water and bio accumulating for a very long time.
Disappointed to see so much bald-faced lying in the comments. I really don’t understand why the most egregious liars aren’t given the boot.

The way I read this submission is:

1. Google is tracking you. They track you because they need this data to target better ads, this is how they make money.

2. The OP for this comment, says they use FOSS apps to get around Google’s tracking.

My comment is about - if you are against the idea of being tracked from profit, it would be a good idea to vote with your wallet to help open source developers get paid and to show that there is a viable business model for other individual developers.
I've found the perfect middleground is typescript checking with JSDoc syntax. The code is just JS, no emitting necessary, but you get all the type checking.

Together with testing of @example stanzas, you get everything for cheap-ish.

Alas, there is no good JSDoc @example test runner¹. This would be very valuable. If there were, I would let that handle my unit tests and focus only on integration testing.

Edit: runtime type checking at the boundary is also valuable! I've tried runtypes, but actually prefer compiling the ts definitions to JSON Schema with typescript-json-schema, and checking with plain JSON Schema validation.

¹I've used @supabase/doctest-js and jsdoctest, and found both lacking. If you know of a better one, please share!
> You are right, but I have not seen any published data about the properties of some concrete 128-bit or 256-bit CRC's that could be chosen.

I mean, sure. But what published data do you have about SHA1's error detection properties?

SHA1 doesn't have a hamming distance analysis associated with it, not at all... nor is there any kind of "burst error" analysis (or the like) associated with it. The only analysis you got on SHA1 is differential cryptography, and other such maths that have little or no relevance with regards to the kinds of errors we expect to see in data.

Its not too hard to pick a 128-bit burst error CRC-128. In fact, all CRC-128 would detect 128-bit burst errors. The "high quality CRC" is about the difficult question of hamming distances and other such properties.

-----

IMO: picking SHA1 is basically saying you don't care about those details. Which is a fine choice to make. But it seems odd that you'd criticize CRC for "not having enough analysis" when SHA1 barely has any at all.
A better term might be "non-intermittent". Nuclear plants produce the same amount of energy regardless of time of day or wind speed. And power output can be modulated with more aggressive cooling. Same thermal output of the reactor, but lessened electrical output.

By comparison, any plan for a renewable grid requires massive storage capacity. Most hand-wave this away by assuming some new technology will effectively make storage free.
Maybe you should also include in the site this explanation

Insular is another app that activates the Android work profile: https://secure-system.gitlab.io/Insular/

Both Shelter and Insular are effective for isolating your files, contacts, and phone logs in each profile. If you are using a VPN, it is limited to the profile that the VPN app is installed on, and you need to install and run it again on the other profile to cover the apps in that profile.
Different people have different experiences. Different people have different thresholds for trust. Different people have different prior experiences. Some people have witnessed and been harmed by more lies than others. What does or doesn't seem like an overreaction to you, me, or others is going to be different to one degree or another to every individual. What you judge to be a small inconsequential lie may seem like a much bigger deal to other people who have other experiences and viewpoints. That's why the mask lie was not merely silly, it was flat out idiotic. Those responsible, the liars, assumed that everybody else would have the same tolerance for falsehoods as themselves. That was a myopic assumption to say the least.

(I got vaccinated too, but I have no particular animosity towards those that haven't. They are, if anything, victims of the government's long history of being untrustworthy.)

These things can never be black and white. The spectrum of ideas is too grey.

There are many controversial subjects in humanity where free expression of ideas may cause harm but ultimately freedom is more worthwhile than what it restricts.

But there are exceptions:

* GLobal pandemics with successful vaccinations where the choices we make affect the lives of millions

* Global climate change, inaction (or wrong action) will affect the lives of BILLIONS.
It depends what you're walking through! I'll walk for hours on a beautiful nature trail or a pretty, safe cityscape with interesting sidewalk-addressing buildings.

I won't walk for 5 minutes sandwiched between a fast road strip-mall parking lots, industrial facilities, or open fields.

Well, not much. Data isn't the main product where I work for, so I end up just using python libraries for some mundane applications and small datasets (image classification and recommender systems). But I'm the "need to know from scratch" kinda person and I wonder if I should waste my time learning the math behind it or if its useless
That's probably deliberate. An intentional name collision seems a good way to run a front.
I strongly recommend the 'Futility Closet' podcast that accompanies the website. It is one of the most consistently interesting podcasts out there.
Allow us who haven't experienced it to highly doubt this. At the very best it looks like nifty tech that would be fun to play around with for a couple of hours until the novelty wears off, no more than that.
From your first link, it says that that band changed their name because of a NS band with the same name. NS meaning National Socialist...
We’re talking about enough batteries for the entire world’s total energy needs for weeks at a time. That means the battery industry needs to increase in size by many times it’s current state, which implies many new factories built and so on, never mind contention over natural resources. Meeting such demand seems likely to take many decades and untold trillions in investment.
> more complex than the "cheapskates ignoring maintenance to save a few pennies"

The unrepaired pool deck cutout (cheap to fix) and general water intrusion problems (not so cheap) were very serious maintenance problems that shouldn't have been bandaided with buckets, etc., and would have weakened slabs over time. The condo board and residents (many educated) themselves should have been more on top of those visible problems.

If that caused the garage column strengths to reduce from 100% (as modelled) of required strength to 99%, then that's a factor in the collapse. Of course, there should have been a design safety margin. I would say the condo board and residents themselves should have noticed the 12" columns and started asking questions.

Also, any structural engineer today, after looking at the plans, would have noticed the minimal use of shear walls and the discrepancy in concrete beams drawn in the parking area.

The building code has changed since 1980, so that review should be done for all older buildings, esp. the other two Champlain projects. In fact, buyers are discounting those older buildings.

Does anyone know who is behind that project? Who is developing it?
I've confirmed that the actual execution of the function itself takes ~30ms, and that the time to download is standard (~200ms). That only leaves the cold start; nothing else makes sense.

edit: I even set up a node server on AppEngine itself, copied over the exact code to an endpoint, and it was taking 300-500ms tops (after the initial cold start of the AppEngine server).
> Glass cockpit upgrades are very popular. For example, an Evolution E5 is $5k to $10k depending on the model. You can remove your vacuum system at that point. There's nothing stopping anyone from upgrading, aside from the cost.

To me the cost is the obvious point of complaint.

Now I'm not an aircraft tech, but I'm looking through the manual for the E5 and as far as I can tell the $5000 base configuration gets you the main unit itself as well as an exterior sensor module. The main module of course houses the display, CPU, and battery as well as the IMU and pneumatic sensors for pitot/static and some serial ports for connection to other electronics. The remote module houses a non-certified GPS (connection to an IFR-certified navigation system is required for installation in IFR-capable aircraft), a compass, and a temperature sensor.

None of that is high-tech equipment, nor is the software required to turn those sensor inputs in to useful displays particularly complicated. I don't see any obvious reason a group of motivated electronics hobbyists couldn't build a proof-of-concept that performs all the same core functions over a long weekend with a few hundred bucks worth of off the shelf parts and access to the relevant details of the ARINC 429 standard.

Obviously there are reliability and redundancy aspects to consider, but even the E5 is only officially allowed to replace one of two instruments and everything else must remain in its original position. Reliable IMUs and redundant microcontrollers aren't the cheapest things out there but they don't make up an order of magnitude price difference either.

The regulations are there for a reason at their core, but there has to be some kind of balance where we don't have extra zeroes appearing in price tags just because something goes on a plane.

For 2.:

pip can be configured to use a local warehouse, and there are warehouses that transparently proxy to pypi, but caches any previously fetched result. E.G: https://pypi.org/project/proxypypi/

Since you control it, and it's read only from the outside, you can actually expose it even outside of your network.

But indeed, it must be replicated for npm, cargo, maven, docker...

There is a startup idea here :)

The difference in scaling is more subtle than that. The thing that makes lambda so nice from scalability point of view is that you don't need to worry about the scalability of your application. You don't need any awkward async stuff or tune application server flags or anything like that. Your only concern with lambda code is to respond to one request as fast as possible. You can write something that burns 100% CPU in a busyloop per request in a lambda if you want and it'll scale all the same. In fargate making sure that the application is able to handle some economical amount of concurrency is your responsibility, and it can in some cases be very much non-trivial problem.
`any` is one of the main reasons why typescript is now so popular. Its a dev-conversion tool. It's amazing for teams that aren't ready to make the full leap. But later migration to strict mode is necessary.
At least in the OP’s case it seems the requests are infrequent. I understand your point about the 11th request, but at that point what % of your customers are impacted. The tail latency is always an issue, PC is a good way to solve that.
Politics, especially the green movement. They want the "war" on CO2 to be about personal sacrifice and de-industrialization.

Sometimes I wish the European governments would open "climate sanctuaries", where Green Party members and other individuals can go and live for a while taking only cold showers, not using any plastic, living with dim lightbulbs and low flush toilets, and perhaps even whipping themselves occasionally.

As they leave, they will get a certificate that says they helped to "save the planet". The dedicated ones can live there while less dedicated visit just for a few hours on Sundays.

Meanwhile the actual governments can build out nuclear power and do something that is effective. This would give both sides what they want.

To be fair, all bands I knew of listed there were indeed done with serious NS ideology. Even the most famous and "mainstream" Burzum runs a YouTube channel that expresses white supremacy ideas and racist weirdness.

Overall, the list appears reasonable to me and no (to me known) member is particularly surprising.
Either way we (humanity) have to research these things or we are guaranteeing that we will reach an energy and materials plateau and eventual decline as a species.
Arguably, time is better spent studying nuclear engineering.

That's the only thing that can save the planet (besides enabling space exploration and colonization of Moon and Mars)
Thank you! appreciate your reply, honestly. i have an engineering degree but it has nothing to do with computers, so i kinda struggle sometimes.

Well, at the end of the day in this situation it is still humans that thought up the idea to separate the regions. I presume it is also humans who want to keep us-east-1 alive. Neither of those conditions (use1 going down or the cross DC contamination) are intentional.

If us-east-1 goes dead because of a condition that humans failed to anticipate, then it stands to reason that the other regions are actually dependent on use1 in a way humans didn't anticipate.
It's how I paid for my Christmas gifts when I was in High School. Wait in lines for xboxes, furbies, whatever the hot toy was that year.

Think of the guys who spent tens of thousands of dollars on generators, rented a truck and drove down to New Orleans after katrina. They got locked up (and their generators impounded) because they were "price gouging". As if the tens of thousands of capital and the dangerous work of brining the generators to market wasn't worth the 5x markup. The generators weren't doing anyone any good sitting in Kansas.

Surely you're not greedy, right? You work for the good of everyone and you benefit in no way, right? It isn't the benevolence of the baker that puts bread on your table.

Given that your first link says they changed their name because of a naming conflict with a known Nazi band, don't you think that maybe that other band is the one banned? And yes, that one is quite clearly a neonazi band.

I was expecting things like "woman was hit by a car" to be replaced by "A car hit a woman" (prefer active voice).

Instead it refers to pedestrians as Vulnerable Road Users. It says the information that "alcohol was not a factor" is a "Distracting counterfactual. Readers place more blame on victims when articles use more counterfactual statements. Counterfactuals also obscure the systemic nature of incidents and place unreasonable burden on individuals."

I thought this would be an automated grammar assistant for basic English writing techniques you should have learned in high school. It's not. Instead, it's a tool for injecting bias into reporting.
My experience with the Walmart app for iOS has been a nightmare and my store is 3 minutes from my house so I use it frequently for pick up orders.

The app made some insanely confusing UX decisions, such as forcing users to go to 2 separate parts of the app depending on if you are searching for products on Walmart.com vs local Walmart store, instead of one seamless UX flow of adding your local store and searching for items in stock locally on top of suggesting to ship it to you as a secondary channel.

After I somehow navigate the maze of getting to the local store search section of the app after wasting time searching their Walmart.com commingled section of the app, I enter my zip code and the store 3 mins away never shows up and I have to do some hacky workaround to get the store to show.

Finally after ordering for pickup, I have to navigate a maze to get to the local store orders page to see the order details.

Walmart labs really needs to do some solid UX research on their in-app end to end customer journey and copy how Hone Depot does it. Don’t get my started on how frustrating it is to find an item in their maze of alphabetical ordered aisles that often doesn’t match the item location aisle details in the app.

Ugh thinking about the app makes my blood pressure increase.

TL;DR
The Home Depot in-app experience and UX for browsing, purchasing, and locating in-store items is a dream to use and is arguably best practice for e-commerce and retail commingled UX compared to Walmart.

This feels easily related to lack of unified physical theories.

We seem to find structure all over but no idea why it ended up just this way.

My guess is a link between field effects and information coming off cells. Cells emit information instigating a field reaction but only to a certain point as a survival mechanism.

Once an equilibrium is reached the cells radiate new information to inhibit the field effect?

Which makes me wonder if cells not being able to inhibit field effects is related to aging.

I picked the wrong field in college. Math was fun but the kind of abstract that almost feels useless a lot of the time, and biotech really feels like the final frontier anymore.

AFAICT, this one is char-for-char the same URL, and the submitted title is the same. Just a question of technical curiosity.
