Yeah, I was mainly talking about the heat once coupled to the pot. If "23%" means 77% of the heat goes straight past the pot, I'm still wondering if this is a heat 'delta' or quiescent heat flow required to keep a pot at a temperature.

Taking a spherical-cow approach, exactly how much energy would be required to (pressure?) cook 1kg of meat in an utterly lossless container? I'm picture stove-top pots more akin to helicopters that hot air balloons -- you're paying a lot of energy to keep the pot at a given temperature only because most of the heat is convecting and radiating out even after it manages to couple into the pot at some low factor. A tiny, tiny bit actually goes into changing the chemical state of the food.

So, an electically heated pressure + vacuum pot would surely be the most efficient (at making probably entirely untasty food.)

What's the reason why English and most other languages of Europe treat blue and green like distinct basic colors, while many languages of Asia have one word encompassing both? What's the reason why Hungarian has two basic words for different kinds of red? It's just a historical artifact of language evolution. Russian happened to the evolve two different distinct basic color words for blue; to an English speaker, both are different shades of blue, but in Russian, neither is a shade of the other; and Russian has no single color word encompassing the English concept of "blue".
Oh boy I can't wait to not being able to open certain websites because I am using software that American big tech doesn't like.

This is treachery on a chip and the fact that a sizable portion of people who are perfectly aware of how it works are okay with this just makes me lose hope for the future.
I’m working for a US startup remotely from Eastern Europe. From my experience it is easier to find startup remote jobs and I don’t mind to be honest.
Ignoring the network point I made above, it'll be a monumental effort to get there.

Best we can hope for is virtual machines, and archive files targeting a specific browser version on specific virtual machines.
I think we’re on the same page as to the situation. You just believe that curation of the process and vigilance will ensure positive outcomes and I believe that that path is not anti-fragile and will eventually fail.

Hope that’s accurate.
It didn't say that the beta was public. If you run AGPL code on a home server for personal use and someone hacks in I don't think you should owe them code.
I was curious what this would cost and found a thorough stackexchange post [0] that puts the price at 0.032 ETH per KB stored on-chain. Comes out to around 12,000 USD for a small 100kb static site.

I would guess this cost is competitive with carving binary data into stone, not bad for permenant storage, reading the data is free.

To keep all information, you also need to store the timezone that the event originally was.

E.g. When comparing temperature charts from different places in different timezones, you may want to show them in a way that "noon local time" is on the same place of the X-axis in both cases.

Or more usual: I keep a log of what I do during a day. If I now move to another timezone and want to look at the log, I don't want the times shown in my current timezone. I want the timezone I was in back then.
Like he said. Get out of there.
I strongly recommend reading this for anyone who's interested. It's a really interesting view of what Mexico looked like prior to Spanish colonization, told from a Spanish perspective of course.

It also became clear that the Spanish, despite their superior technology, were so outnumbered that they wouldn't have been successful if it weren't for their local allies. They were nearly all killed in a desperate escape from Tenochtitlan when things went downhill.
All valid points. But I’ve made the mistake of trading in or losing all of my old Android phones which had unlocked bootloaders.

Also, installing a phone OS is more intimidating to me than, say, putting Debian on a laptop/desktop. I’m happy to go into a BIOS, play with voltages, overclock, etc. but please don’t ask me to hold some combination of buttons to start a process that can easily brick my phone.
Sports Riot 1k Years Ago Created the Most Iconic Church in Antiquity
Oh I'm not so sure. I know a LOT of people who took up golf during last summer/fall. It was one of the few outdoor sports you could safely play with friends.
I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

— Percy Shelley's "Ozymandias"
You should talk to some homicide detectives, or even the people who deal with the day-to-day issues at the street level in downtown areas. The things they see on a regular basis are pretty mind-blowing, and not just per-incident, but cyclically and systemically. Their perspective on government policy and it’s effects are far different than ours by the nature of their jobs. That is a partial factor in how they vote and how they donate, particularly as of late.

Their life experience is dealing with the disproportionately bad aspects of society, just like you probably have a disproportionately good existence. There are assumptions and biases that come from both these exposure models.

And maybe it’s just a problem with their delivery, but if you hear a political party (unfortunately the loudmouth fringe more often than not) incessantly talking about how you suck, should be presumed to be an evil murderer, and advocate policies that you feel put your daily safety at further risk, you might rethink your donations and voting history as well. Not defending the bad cultures and actors whatsoever, but there’s more room for nuance in discussing the issues we have policing this large, individualistic, culturally heterogenous, heavily medicated and critically unmedicated country. The problem is a hard one, so easy simple answers should be viewed with skepticism. There is no “just do what Norway does” answer to the problem that can be made in good faith.
I've heard the song before but when back and listened to it.

Sounds like many other terrible recordings from early 60s- terrible mix, terrible background noise, instruments can't be heard distinctly.

Contrast Take Five, recorded live several years before. It's got some background noise but it's still so clear you can hear the creaking of the bass during the drum solo.

Any track on Pet Sounds. Recorded only a few years later, and under heavy influence by Spector, it sounds so much dramatically better.

Can anybody point out a better recorded example of Spector's wall of sound?

If I wanted to find someone in my city, a global website would be the last place I'd look. Maybe the people who use a global matching platform are more interested in finding someone with specific skills / interests rather than someone who lives nearby.
Somewhat pricey, but buy a rover and have it sent to the moon. Program it to lay tracks in form of a QR code that contains the URL that encodes the whole website.

2nd hand rovers are somewhat hard to come by. But you wouldn't need all the fancy scientific equipment. Maybe a prototype of the bare rover is available somewhere.

Kudos if you pull that off and have the Moon QR URL website say : "never gonna give you up...".
Better would be an ENS name pointing to an IPFS address.

I don't think "sub-par cuts" makes sense as a category. Different cuts are just suited to different kinds of cooking.

Calling a blade roast sub-par because it doesn't make good steaks makes about as much sense as calling tenderloin sub-par because it doesn't make a good braise.
Considering how fast bamboo grows, this seems excessive.

They're not even saving energy in doing this. Mulching those chopsticks would probably be much more energy efficient.

That website is a catastrophe. The banner on the left prevents the intro text from being read. There's also a banner on the right which is similar in behavior. Neither can be dismissed. Text can't be copied without dragging along useless marketing material. There is no Reader view to nuke the bad design decisions.

If you deploy a "test" version of an app to a public server/domain and send an invite to a closed mailing list for users to beta test it, then that still triggers the AGPL.
Hm, I have an OG iPad that runs a few excellent apps (TouchOSC, Animoog, Samplr) well enough that it‘s still a worthwhile device with just those. TouchOSC in particular should get massive props. As of last year, it was still able to update and is solid and super responsive. The App Store still works and I can download the last compatible version of any app I own.
How much one can improve a dictatorship working for the dictatorship ? Just thinking ...
If new cars are scarce then the price of used cars is going to get crazy high.

In the US I see ads for car dealers that don't (as they usually do) list any inventory. Many of them advertise that they have trucks but don't say anything about cars. For this reason

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

US carmakers will stop making cars and only make trucks if they can at all get away it.
And then you've just created a chain of legislation with the associated loopholes and confusion which will allow corporations to hide and deny any of it happening and then using legal fog to stonewall any Govt investigations and force people to risk their careers to call it out.

Forcing people to be whistle blowers is not a scalable enforcement plan. Very few people are willing to be one.

We need to legislate with the goal of corporate transparency not for more hidden behavior.
Create lots of copies. We know some papers/parchments can last 100s of years and are easy to store, so be sure to put some of your copies on paper. Anything current tech is just a guess as to what the future will bother to read and keep storing. (Metal plates, for example, would probably last but are a pain to move and store and are likely valuable melted down and reused)

After that, try to get your copies into institutions you think will survive for hundreds of years. So far, at least from a US/Europe-centric view, that seems to be universities and some churches. Even that's no guarantee - the Vatican library has been sacked a couple of times and had its contents hauled off, so who knows what was lost in those moves. You might try to bet on public libraries, though their track record is shorter.

Only partially joking: start a church that's dedicated to preservation of records.

But really, I think the key is lots of copies, spread as widely as you can.
I do not disagree with you, and I don't see that you disagree with me. The majority of people prefer the status quo. That strikes me as a tautology.

We're up to something like 1/3 of the population having some kind of criminal record, though, so the balance could tip in the coming years. The culture wars we are experiencing right now may be a manifestation of that.

Intel need to split into two.

1. Intel fabless: open up x86 like ARM. work on Xscale (ARM) and RISC-V (SiFive).

2. Intel foundry: a pure play foundry with no tie to its fabless side to win customers trust.

the foundry ecosystem is going to hurt Intel. the current trend is everyone design its own chip and outsource to foundry for production.

edit: look like the deal to buy SiFive fall apart but the idea is Intel fabless can focus on chip design regardless the platform.
Just wait for the first big JS Framework which uses the canvas for everything.
Not just GOOG, but all of FAANGMULAetc... and smaller start ups as well. Robinhood asked me a dynamic programming leetcode question for their web engineer (front end) role and Bloomberg asked me a OOP design question (asked to code in Python, even though I do not have Python on my resume...interviewer was a Python developer) for a javascript role - both were 1st round phone screens.

The tech industry has normalized to the state of asking such question - its rare to be interviewed on domain expertise, unless you are interviewing at a fortune 500 big corp.
"The right question is - would my colleagues do a better job negotiating my compensation than I would?"

Probably. We often tell ourselves that we are better able to negotiate on our own behalf than anyone else, but the truth is that unionized workers usually receive better compensation than non-unionized workers.

To put this another way, if you said you were thinking about quitting, would your employer respond by offering a raise? If you were embroiled in some kind of scandal and had to either quit or be fired, would you receive a severance? If not, then you are not important enough to have any real leverage to negotiate your compensation. As an individual you are probably easy to replace, and certainly much easier to replace than the entire workforce -- which is why unions usually negotiate better compensation than individuals.
A buddy of mine just joined Palo Alto networks and they gave him a 30% pay increase, as well as a $100,000 signing bonus, and then put him on a team who sold well and he got a $40,000 bonus a couple months after joining.
As an alternative place workers on the board. Have them be elected by the workers. A lot of places in Europe apparently do this. There's your non union workers representation and brings parity to negotiating power as well.
This is why, in a just society, the penalties for corruption and abuse of power for LEOs should be extreme. Same goes for elected officials I suppose, but abuse of the state's threat of violence is antithetical to a free society.

I don't think it would be fair nor that I think it would work.

If people are afraid to do anything, they will cover their asses than do their jobs.

I think, ultimately, the problem is multifaceted. I believe we start with decreasing the role of police and punishment in our society.
What's the difference between "artificial intelligence" and "autonomous systems"? (Or is that another attempt to double-dip, like the university that has not only a chemistry department and a solid state physics department, but also a "materials science center" and a "nanotechnology center"?)
It's also very wise to make sure you disallow force pushing to master/main/production. If you force push to a topic branch, it's usually ok. If you accidentally overwrite someone's changes, it's because you are working together and you can communicate that you messed up and for them to `pull --rebase` or however you want to resolve it. Usually that is. There's always room for disaster :)
To me what I see here is that the software to run a social media site is available to everyone, but some people don't want social media sites just to reach people, they want to build little empires. Why would you try to build a proprietary application when one already exists if your stated goal is free expression? Why would you attempt to obscurely and illegally re license software that already serves it's purpose? It's honestly a sign of what is slowly happening in social media, things like this and what gab did are the death throes of proprietary interactive media.
Well, garbage in garbage out, of course.

But in applications where it matters, you make sure you know the source timezone where the data enters your system.
Usually when I sous vide something, I do a quick hot sear at the end to build a nice crust. I used to reverse sear before I got my sous vide and made some amazing steaks, but doing it with the sous vide takes the cake imo
You are absolutely correct. As far as I'm aware they never sent any invites though.

edit: Only the users of the AGPL service are owed the code, it doesn't need to be posted publicly.
Yes. People more likely to encounter law enforcement in surprise, break-down-the-door scenarios where the cops might have a vested interest in keeping you away from the phone should probably forgo Face/Touch ID entirely, though.

> Outside US school market and Googleplex, Chromebooks are nowhere to be found.

Lots of consumers buy them directly from Best Buy etc.

But let's say they're only used in schools. Well, then the next generation is being brought up with machines that don't depend on any Windows apps.

> Also running the Linux kernel is an implementation detail, those that allow for GNU/Linux applications and Android, without breaking security into developer mode, do it with additional VMs, hardly any different from running WSL + WSL/Android on Windows 11.

That means it's a subset of Linux. It can't do things Linux can't do, so switching from there to "real" Linux has no significant barriers.
Show HN: I created a tool to schedule HTTP requests
In my last project, I was struggling to create and monitor cron jobs.

So, instead of creating hundreds of standalone scrips and executing them with cron, I decided to turn those scripts into multiple endpoints. Next, I created a single service that I could schedule HTTP requests to those endpoints and monitor its execution. No more scripts, now everything is endpoints that I can run manually at any time

I turned this scheduler service into a Micro-SaaS so you don't have to build it yourself: beew.io

I know you can Schedule HTTP requests with Zapier but come on... I will not pay 50 bucks for that hahahaha

btw, feedbacks are welcome.

https://beew.io
The problem starts when being polite and forgettable puts you on their radar. Police look in your backpack, and hey - it's a bike lock just like the one that was used to assault someone down the block a few minutes ago! You look about the right height. Which direction did you say you were coming from again?

Some situations can be lose-lose. Best you can do is don't talk to the police, and if you absolutely must, say as little as possible and don't lie.
wow, never heard of that. I like turning off the schmaltz.
Maybe this is crazy, but should we be thinking of satellite connectivity the same way we think about public utilities?

- For a lot of public utilities, the point is that building several parallel sets of infrastructure would be really wasteful. It makes sense to build it once, hopefully well, and let everyone use it.

- One might think this only is true of strictly terrestrial infrastructure like phone landlines or water districts. But of course, GPS is an example where we all benefit from a satellite constellation which is operated by the US military with an annual budget of roughly $1B -- and we can all use it for free. Had the US not provided for civilian access to GPS, and instead there were several competing private systems, they would all be worse and every application which is today based on GPS would have an additional monthly fee to access whichever private constellation that application had built around.

Admittedly, satellite connectivity comes with a bunch of complexities that GPS don't have. But still, if we were smart, would we be building one giant common-access constellation rather than multiple competing ones?
This kills the foundry.
When a publisher has made the majority of the expected revenue off a property they're pretty unlikely to want to donate some more dev time out of the goodness of their heart. I think historical trends have also shown that DRM is almost always left in place - so I think the empirical data is pointing strongly at a lack of any organic motivation to de-DRM any products.

Most of the time an anti-DRM patch gets rolled out it's either a company/individual that has strong personal feelings about DRM (i.e. somebody like Stardock) or else it's a patch that the devs wrote way back when to make testing in some environment easier that they kept around and valid out of the goodness of their hearts. I think in almost all cases it boils down to someone who personally disagrees with the prevailing business opinion that DRM is good and actually has enough political power in the company to force their opinion onto the business at large.
I see a mob with fists as a level of threat, rocks as a higher level, and guns as an even higher level.

My previous post had a flaw, though. I was thinking of fireworks that shoot something that burns and explodes, which flares are not. Flares are a lot less dangerous than that, and are not much of a threat. (I guess you could throw it or shove it in someone's face.) So my analogy with 2nd-amendment-vs-gun-control kind of breaks down. I'm leaving the previous post unedited for history, but it was wrong.

So at that point... you've got a group that is protesting, and they claim they aren't marching, so they aren't really threatening anyone. But at that point, they're still present. That is, by their own logic, where someone else's presence threatens them, well, they're present, so they are a threat too, right?

So, even though my previous post was wrong, the protesters' logic still doesn't make any sense.

For non-Nintendo Switch games, I buy from GOG whenever possible. It does require different taste in games (I grew up on Quest for Glory, Space Quest, and King’s Quest). You get a tried-and-true game, DRM-free, usually for dirt cheap, and it probably doesn’t require an RTX video card. It’s not for everyone, but it’s worked great for me.
Should we cool it with the historical present?
