Yup, not only that, but the Lamborghini Countach has a Cd of 0.42, while every car on this list has a lower Cd, except for the original VW Beetle [1].

If you can't afford utility hookups for your new construction, don't live rural. Live in the city limits. That's why city limits exist. There are economic boundaries where a city can fend for its residents.

This isn't about 5th generation people losing power, it is about people choosing to live rural and feeling entitled to costly infrastructure for free.
The question is are outcomes in vaccinated people comparable to flu - if yes - we can freely ignore it. Or people that have natural immunity. Or unvaccinated.

I have a bad feeling that with focus just on antibodies we're ignoring the important metrics. Which is outcomes.
>Processed foods are taxed here whereas things like produce typically have no tax.

Without (intentionally, anyway) taking any other position at issue here, I'm not sure this is a cromulent comparison. Processed foods are also more calorically dense, heavier per dollar, and ultimately less expensive per meal, even factoring in the tax. We can try to think about it like a policy lever, but if it's still less expensive than the alternative, it kinda feels like rent-seeking, given that eating isn't a habit one can just give up.
The article begins with the idea that the causes of the Great Depression are not known or too numerous to pin down. It then continues by claiming that "recent scholarship has resulted in striking agreement on the reason for the crisis." The cause of the Great Depression was the gold standard, according to the article:

> ... The constraints of the gold-standard system hamstrung countries as they struggled to adapt during the 1920s to changes in the world economy. ... Central bankers continued to kick the world economy while it was down until it lost consciousness.

What this article ignores, like countless articles before and since, is the Roaring 20s. Articles like this treat the Great Depression as an event that hit the US economy out of the blue. But even superficial study of the ten years prior reveals something obvious: a massive, compounding, technology-fueled asset bubble.

The article also ignores the event that kicked off the Roaring 20s: the depression of 1920-1921:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depression_of_1920–1921

This depression resolved itself under a gold standard regime and with minimal intervention by the Federal Government and Federal Reserve.

50 years ago the US abandoned the last vestiges of the gold standard. Today we find ourselves in the middle of a technology-fueled asset bubble. The US president talks, without a hint of embarrassment, about the need to borrow to continue to service debts. This is, of course, the very definition of a Ponzi scheme.

Whatever this comes to, we won't have the gold standard to kick around. It's been out of the picture for decades. What happens when the world's governments decide to outdo each other on how much currency they can conjure into being?

Nice will read and review today.
How do you look at spamming private messages to many recipients, resulting in a similar effect to posting publicly?

I know of bullying on FB where the harasser sends the same message to dozens of friends of the harassed. FB makes this easy to do since a list of someone's contacts are often easy to find online and there is no recourse to find or report these messages (as with a public post).

To me this presents a particularly tricky double-edged sword. E2E encryption is good in many cases, but tied to an easy way to send many messages and easily-accessible lists of people to target a message to, can result in a similar but more hidden version of public posts.

My guess is that this is being used today to disseminate similar content that is being restricted on public posts.

As far as I can tell, restrictions to limit the number and speed of private messages have not been effective against this kind of approach, and new accounts can always be created. In some cases, these messages go to a different "inbox" for non-contacts, but not always, and this just delays the receipt of the message since, again, they cannot be found or reported.

I don't know a good solution to this problem, but it's not one I've seen talked about.
In theory? Sure.

The reality is, the money collected really isn't spent helping folks change their habits. It goes to some unionized civil servant's pension fund...

While a bit interesting how he brings it all together for the setup, I could care less about these rural people who decide to live in Minden or whatever and complain about expenses. This is not Toronto news CBC. These people are reasonably well off and choosing to live outside of the city where more and more of the majority live and we've got bigger issues closer to home like affordability and infrastructure etc etc. Bah.
Did college in those places / time periods put you into debt?

But anyway, what's the point of looking that far back and cross-content, why don't we compare it to American universities just a few decades ago?
I was actually suggesting we make things more expensive for the upper class, but same-same ;)

Let me ask you this. What if fines are what dividing people into castes? The fees around court and jail in the US are a great example of this. If you get sent to jail or taken to court for any kind of infraction, the fees around it can cripple you financially for YEARS. Tho if you have a spare 50k laying around you can make them all go away. I think there are many cases outside of the criminal legal system where this is also real.
I was under the impression the purpose of vice taxes is due to activities causing societal harm, not self harm.

If it was self harm, then seems like we should start with vice taxes for added sugar and not doing cardio workouts.

I know of at least one theater complex nearby that has an Imax screen or two, but those are not the best sound in the house. They're very good, but the gold standard (at least around here) are the couple of normal (but quite good) screens + projectors that they've paired with some fancy Dolby thing. It's noticeably better, in movies that are mixed for it (and I think this one is).

However, I'd probably take Imax with very good sound over a normal theater with the best possible sound, for this one. Then again, I've not tried it in the best-sound theaters, so maybe I'm wrong about which is preferable.

I know that, trying to (re-)watch it at home, my normally-plenty-good pieced-together 5.1 system was not up to the task, which is the first time I've felt like that about this set-up of mine—and I watched both Arrival and Blade Runner 2049 on it, so it's been Villeneuve-tested before.
That's why they said "and in Suriname". The "in" makes it clear.
That's not the result of a hidden depression, it's the result of intentionally giving control of society to capital and then capital throwing labor under the bus through wage and environmental arbitrage. It's the system working as intended, a feature not a bug. If we enter an actual depression, it will compound on top of the inequality.
It is terrible, just tried this

Have you seen the deficits the governments run?

Should we foot the bill for connecting every rural home because people wanted to move out of the city - increasing the urban sprawl? Maybe if there 5-10 people at a time in batches they could do it at cost. . but custom jobs for every individual homeowner, come on be realistic instead of entitled.
I've always wanted to explore the word2vec space to find the most sparsely populated region, then (assuming you can train some sort of reverse vec2word model) coin that word that the English language was apparently sorely lacking.
depends.

I get used to things. I have spent hundreds of hours using modern laptop computers to develop software, read articles, mindlessly consume social media content, watch porn. Because of these hundreds of hours, when I come to interact with my laptop computer, a set of pre-established affordances, feelings, and thought patterns immediately present themselves.

This goes away if I write in my notebook or type on my alphasmart, where a whole other host of feelings and thought patterns immediately appear. Usually, these are feelings and thought patterns that are localized to what I'm writing about, which makes writing (and thinking) much easier.
Even if A.30 was "more contagious", like Alpha, it isn't as contagious as Delta and thus would get outcompeted.

There's a lot of variants of concern. Its important to keep an eye on new variants, but don't worry about them until they cross the 1% or 5% mark. At that point, you can better theorize that they might be outcompeting the dominant strain.

You _really_ don't know that something is outcompeting until it reaches 50%. But by then its too late. The 1% or 5% points are still a month or two in advance of the 50% crossing, in both Alpha and Delta.

So that's where I keep my attention: at the 1% and 5% points. A variant gotta get to 1% before it can reach 50% of the world ya know?

IMO the ROI isn't worth it for CS students. I've taught coding bootcamps and I've studied bachelor + master CS.

If all you want is ROI, then after high school go to a coding bootcamp, work at a small startup as a web developer and work for 3 to 4 years. That's income otherwise missed.

If you happen to then feel that you're missing out or feel inferior, then college might be worth a little more as it will basically be a form of professional therapy. Keep your job on the side though, don't lose that income.

Now that you're done with college, carry on.

If you happen to go to college, US people should see if they can pay like 2000 euro's per year on tuition. This may mean they need to travel to Europe.

I regret my college education, but I only know it now that I've been through 8 years of it (9 years worth in degrees). It's really tough to see upfront whether it's worth it or not, and it depends on personality type I guess a bit. I'm a really open person interested in science. That's what kept me there so long. But I'm also interested in earning an awesome income (e.g. $150K or something, not the $60K I do now). If you're in it for the money, go do your best to start a job in the field you want to make a lot of money at.

A lot of my education was actually amazing! But when I applied to jobs people didn't seem to care, I kept failing job interviews and I was astounded because a few years ago it was super easy to get a job, even as a second year bachelor student.

N = 1, I know. Take it for what it's worth.

Though, to be fair if I am now capable of treating my sleeping issues, then it has been worth it. Only time will tell.

I may change my stance on this in 10 years time.
Great question. We recognize how important this is and are actively working on it.
This is part of the problem with talking with Facebook engineers.

Most of society is against spyware. It's not a controversial topic- spyware is pretty frowned upon. Spying on people does, to most people, show a lack of integrity. So does much of the other actions Facebook has taken and which are now coming out in these leaks.

If you bring this up with Facebook engineers it turns into a "linguistic" issue. You're told that integrity only applies in the computer science sense of the word, and are then told by the engineer what you "actually" think.

All of this is condescending and distracting from the main point- which seems to be the point.
Are ground-source heatpumps considered 'geothermal'?

Its much less sexy than a giant plant connected to a magma stream, but if we made these routine for all new suburban constructions, alongside passivhaus standards, we could eliminate residential fossil fuel connections for huge sections of the Western world.

Like another commenter mentioned, we could even have communal systems for individual streets, drilled beneath roads, to service townhouses and apartment blocks.

You can run the ground-source for heating and cooling, alongside a single wall-mounted air conditioner for dehumidification in the summer.
Lists don't make good HN submissions—they're too generic. The only thing to discuss is the lowest common denominator of the items on the list, and that's usually some very general topic about which there's nothing particularly new to say. Also, HN is itself a list. A pointer to a pointer to a pointer is too much indirection!

It's better to post the most interesting item on the list. That increases the chance that there's something specific to talk about.

I'm sure some of that also has to do with weed being legalized in a good portion of the states now, too. I know it was a big problem in hotels in Oregon when they did at first. Just about any hotel you walked into was very pungent. Like it used to be with cigarettes before indoor smoking bans.

As I know it, as an enduser service, the input is a selected portion of the screen display (much like a screenshot), meaning, there shouldn't come any association with this. However, the framework is a general service available to about any app (probably requiring some sort of consent [I'm not an app developer]) and an app may use this for embedding or associating data. So availability to Siri indexing and/or the question of trusting an app regarding its data management shouldn't be different from what applies to any other stored content. Mind that there is no obligation to activate Siri.

as an angel i have invested in a bunch of companies that later IPO'd. they then continued to significantly appreciate.

the downside is that the time horizon is very long (ie one that i invested in 2006 IPOd in 2015 and continues to rise) so the absolute return is huge but the IRR drops. so people who benchmark everything by IRR will not see much improvement, even though the TVPI etc are still awesome.

Power Freq Power Freq

As you can see, going from 4.35GHz down to 3.45GHz reduces power consumption by over 3x. Further, per-core power usage of the 3990x is very low overall.

This lower clock and lower per-core performance gives higher overall performance per watt.
I'm fortunate to live with a wetland on the property, and find a lot of dragonflies and even bumblebees which have disappeared from several adjacent states and are now proposed for endangered status.

So has the Japanese government indeed been struggling (I doubt there are that many things that would make such an organization struggle) or was it just avoiding running after every fashionable technological trend there was? I imagine that other governments have spent hundreds of millions in taxpayers’ money going through generations of quickly-becoming-obsolete tech in the same time.

Are we simply dealing here with different philosophies in regarding what’s important in life?

In my neighborhood, there were 2 cases of West Nile virus detected in humans in June/July.

Since then, the city have contracted a corporation called BugStars to drive down every street in my neighborhood (downtown, 10k population) and the four around it releasing poison directly into the air every Wednesday night.

There was no notice given to any of us, and only after investigating were we able to figure out why everyone's beehives died the same day, and we are left on our own to coordinate which nights we need to seal the windows or breath actual poison.
I’ve been thinking about the same since I saw your comment. I think a comma after Tobago: “Trinidad and Tobago, and in Suriname” would make the sentence easier to understand but it also might add meaning that isn’t there. Does the added comma imply that primary object (most of the work) was done on Trinidad and Tobago, while the work in Suriname is smaller or less important?
One of the ways that MobaXterm shines is in its licensing. The free version is licensed for commercial use!

Individual end-user is allowed to download (...) and to use MobaXterm Home Edition in a commercial or company environment.

This is wonderful because you don't have to lie and tell Xterm "Yes, I am a home user..." even though you're using it for work. So if all the other great things about MobaXterm weren't enough, its licensing is what causes me to recommend it at work.

> No part of the left-right political spectrum can be said to be the good guys or the bad guys in respect of free expression, especially in the United States.

Maybe across all time, yes. But parties change. Right now there's a clear enemy of free expression, and it's not the right.

The correct play, of course, is to pressure the party that's currently on the anti-free-expression side to back down - even (especially) if that's your "own" party (not like the two major US political parties are very representative of their ostensible constituents) - and that's what the GP is doing.

(you can do this without condemning the ideals of the party as uniformly bad - which is something that a lot of people don't get - attacking a party is not the same as attacking its ideals!)
I felt the same way my desire to learn a new language was somewhere between low and none at all.

Earlier this year we had 3 children in daycare. From a budgeting perspective, US policy doesn't make sense for parents. Once children are in school, cost of childcare reduces dramatically. But before then, you're on your own. I would definitely support policy that helps offset the cost of early childcare.
