This video also let me to this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-Fc08X56R0 explaining that no matter how much you shake the soda can or bottle, the pressure inside remains stable (3 atm).

Once you open it after shaking however, it's the chain reaction of CO2 coming out of solution around the bubbles you introduced, not the pressure.

So if you have a shaken up can. just tap it gently to remove the bubbles stuck to the sides before opening.
I hate this. It's incredibly dangerous and annoying.
Growing enough food isn't the problem. Distribution, which includes economic and political factors, is the issue. Google tells me that 811 million people go hungry. That's a lot of people, but it's not a large part of the world, since 7 billion people presumably have enough to eat.
I think there's a few well-moderated large subreddits that I read periodically that are pretty similar to HN. Like if you go to r/linux, I doubt most people would say that's toxic. It's probably worse than HN, but that might be down to dang be good at moderating.

I guess it's a social medium but it feels different.
I agree with the article. While we don't know yet, how the drug will work in practice, if it is as effective as the results in the clinical trial, it can considerably change the course of this pandemic.

One issue would be high cost. Nevertheless, any day spent in hospital has much higher costs.

Another issue could be how timely we are able to identify people needing this medicine (risk groups). Won't it be that by the time we realize, the patient is already in the hospital? There are plans already being implemented to provide this medicine in pharmacies, promptly after getting positive covid test without the need for GP appointment and prescription.

I hope that this really works.

Even without an escalating charge it's interesting - as if you put the value too high you're paying more than you want, put it low and a competitor will buy you out.

Take the entire Star Wars canon for example, say they put the value at $10b, netflix could buy it relatively easily, but a 1% tax would mean Disney have to pay $1b a decade just to keep it registered. Bump that to $50b though and it will cost $5b a decade to register. Drop it to $100m and some individuals might buy it just for shits and giggles.
You probably know this already, but getting rid of those false alarms is absolutely critical. Instead of alerting on disk use, alert on user-facing metrics when possible (unless it’s disk space going below a certain threshold, since that’s one of the worst things that can happen).
... "don't connect it to the network", means don't connect it to the network, via a Roku-router or wlan or whatever.

Don't buy one with other networks either, if they exist...

I've personally worked at a large tech company and saw widespread A/B testing for things exactly as minute as this type of wording. It wasn't a constant dynamic A/B test that automatically selects the best results but rather a trial period and analysis for changes like this.

I obviously can't speak to this case in particular but for pieces of text that are part of the core user flow (not necessarily true in this case), I'd be shocked if A/B tests weren't going on at any large company.
Is traditional computer vision less susceptible to these? Since the features are human crafted, it sounds to me that the risk would be much lower.
But I think calling it pay-for-click is a misnomer, that's just the latest version of a very old business model. Cable news, like Fox, has had the same outrage-fueled engagement metrics that predate the internet, and before them there were newspapers doing the same thing. I think the technology of social media is just creating small efficiencies in an existing business model preying on very old aspects of human nature.

This is my concern as well. Twitter already has significant issues with this. But based on Dorsey's Rogan appearances I get the impression that he was never entirely comfortable with playing the arbiter of truth/acceptable content outside of high profile cases. He deferred to his trust and safety team most of the time, though you can still find a lot of enclaves that a platform like facebook might have preemptively purged.

His successor could very well be much more aggressive in this respect.
While I agree printed media is biased and is a medium for propaganda, it's hard to argue it's comparable in scale or effectiveness to social media.

1) in the Renaissance, literacy was much lower, books were scarce and expensive, and writing was often made in Latin, like the original bibles and Newton's Principia Mathematica. Therefore, print had MUCH less reach than social media.

2) the attentional cost of a book is vastly greater than a tweet. Tweets are designed to be simple and read in seconds; books are often complex and take weeks to digest.

3) due to 2, I feel Twitter's discourse evolves and devolves much, much faster into extremism and bullying and bad behaviors. It takes a long time for book disses to reach their target, not so for Twitter.

I could go on, but suffice to say, social media is an exponential notch above printed media in it's potential misuse and damage to society.
> By providing simple rules of information flow: small amount of content, retweet, followers) and rewards (likes), they've created the most efficient engines for finding and spreading novelty at the expense of everything else.

Those are indeed elementary factors, but I think that Twitter's effectiveness stems from how it enables tribal thinking and actively nourishes it with its algorithmic ranking.

It's one gigantic outrage machine, and few things are as addictive as outrage.

Great advice. In addition, first-time founders should focus a lot on how the product addresses the customer problem and build no more than what is needed to solve that problem. I sometimes work with founders who have too much luxury with time and money (from their full-time job) that so much time/effort is wasted on building features that aren't necessary. That being said, the hard part is that it's an art and not exact science but there are frameworks you can use to minimize waste.

We've built product without even having a website. Just cold outreach and talking about how we solve our customer's problems.
Much of the value that a CEO adds is in figuring out which rules can be broken without adverse consequences. They're accountable for results; if they raise shareholder value doing terrible things but never get caught, that's a win for shareholders, and they get to keep their position. If they do get caught, they get to be the fall guy, they resign, the board gets to say "We are shocked that such things occurred, we had no knowledge of it, the guilty parties have been sacked, and cleaning up the mess they made is a top priority for the organization." Witness Uber, Volkswagon, Boeing, and Wells Fargo.

The moonlighting employee has the same options. Don't get caught. If you do get caught, you get fired, just like the CEO.

This is also a good portion of why CEOs get paid so much. The average person doesn't like to inhabit the Hobbesian reality that CEOs do, where they're accountable for results and any bad things happening are automatically their fault. They want a world where if they take the right actions and follow the rules, they get some reasonable amount of security. Employment is basically a way to create an artificial island of "if you follow the rules, you get paid", at the expense of the company capturing much of the value you create. Most people take this bargain, because they value security over maximizing profit. Those who don't are always able to take the opposite side of the trade, and become an owner/executive, at the cost of being exposed to all the risks of the real world.

Have been called "pseudoscience" by a "dietitian and journalist" writing for the Washington Post, not by a scientist; that's the source Wikipedia uses to backup their "pseudoscience" claim. The article is rather short, and it seems like mainstream science doesn't discount the risk of inflammation and autoinflammation from lectins at all[0]. Whether cutting out lectins is a good diet for most people is in debate, but whether lectins can be harmful is not.

I don't find it comforting that an opinion article in a newspaper can turn into "encyclopedic truth", and then come to define a man's life even in unrelated issues.

> only able to process something like one transaction per day or something absurd like that.

why are you blatantly lying?

[1]: To split the logic across different branches and enforce more parallelism, it is essential to build DApps and other solutions using multiple UTXOs. This provides benefits in terms of scaling, just like developing Bitcoin services prerequisites splitting one wallet into sub wallets. DApps built on Cardano are not limited to one transaction per block. In fact, the block budget (that is the maximum number of transactions it can hold) allows the execution of hundreds of simple transactions and several complex scripts. However, the eUTXO model allows spending a transaction output only once. Given that users can face contention issues trying to access the same UTXO, it is important to use many different UTXOs. Note that this is important unless such a design would benefit from a strict ordering of clients. Sets of UTXOs can be used to implement design patterns that include semaphores. In addition, different users can interact with one smart contract without any concurrency failure.

> - iOS still doesn't support webgl 2.0 and webgl 1.0 is ancient

Right, it supports Metal and all the WebGPU implementations right now are using Metal. Apple was in fact the driving force behind WebGPU.

I see where they are coming from, opengl (including webgl) is such a clusterfuck.
Does anyone know where the actual latest design for ETH 2.0 sharding is? Whitepaper/repo because w/o sharding you can't scale layer 1, and if you don't scale layer 1, you can't address layer 1 gas costs.

I've always been of the opinion that their sharding effort would fail, but I want to stay well informed. Sharding POS is very hard because the "trilemma" is correct for POS (kadena.io / explorer.chainweb.com being the example that the trilemma is solvable if you stick to POW).

Layer 2/zk-rollups will only help successful dapp devs lower their gas costs (see: DyDx). It doesn't relieve the pressure on layer 1 as other apps/patterns move in until a new equilibrium is reached.
Yes, I'm a maintainer. What's your point?

Sure. And the threat of jail/imprisonment doesn't deter determined murderer's. It doesn't mean we shouldn't put deterrents.
I remember the 'Weekly World News' writing about that under the headline 'Scientists Plan to Blow Up Moon', I remember it specifically because I worked with Alexander Abian's daughter at the time.

I had an AMD DX4-120 that was overclocked to 160 Mhz. Yup, a 160 Mhz 486.

Was on par with a 90 Mhz Pentium for integer processing, IIRC, so MP3 playback didn't drag the system to a halt, though it was still a noticeable impact on performance.

What really dragged the performance down was when I'd try to run 3D Studio MAX at the same time. I had 24 MB of RAM, and the installer warned that they did not recommend running with less than 48 MB, which was an absurd number for a home user at the time.
Another case of blaming a symptom rather than the cause.

The media began showing Tweets because Twitter had reached a sufficient audience size. The real problem is the audience size.

Stroustrup famously said [1]:

> There are only two kinds of languages: the ones people complain about and the ones nobody uses.

I'd paraphrase this about communication platforms (including social media, Reddit, forums, etc):

> There are only two kinds of communication platforms: the ones where people are reactionary, argumentative, tribal, incendiary, conflict-seeking, virtue-signaling and just downright mean and the others too small for that not to have happened yet.

Agreed. There are a lot of people and companies that are very important in the tech world who espouse repugnant racial ideologies a few times per year as the prevalent political fashion demands. I'd like to not block half the tech world, but I'd also like to hide their sporadic, vapid, ideo-tribal signaling posts.
I think Twitter can amplify what we seek (whether consciously or not). I found the complete opposite: it built tremendous confidence as I went from 0 to thousands of followers who were interested in my parenting+comedy niche.
It's a clever trick. Short tweets with pictures skip the rational thinking part of the brain, for those tweets don't have anything to think about, and go straight to the emotional animalistic part of the brain. So twitter turns into a sort of colossus stadium where millions of apes screaming at each other. Usually, the stadium splits into a few big chunks where apes chant the same meme.
My point is that if you want to ban something then you need a specific dividing line other than "like Twitter." Otherwise either everything is banned or nothing is banned since everyone just uses loopholes. And if everything is banned you better be sure you actually want everything banned.
Why should you? Why should copyright by applied differently for car dealerships vs Disney?

What you're describing is most closely described as trademarks but even there, you couldn't use Apple's name and logo to promote something in a non-competing sector. The best you could do is have a name or logo that was similar but which couldn't be confused with Apple, as well as being in a non-competing sector. Using Mickey Mouse wouldn't to promote new or used cars wouldn't even fly under trademark laws because you're using the trademark rather than a similar but unrelated one.
It's still possible to learn new tech at that age. I'm in that age bracket and I'm using React and GraphQL and AWS and Terraform and Docker along with the young consultants. Didn't take that long to pick it up enough to be useful either. I probably won't be the resident expert anytime soon (nor am I quite so driven to become an expert in that tech quickly, like I might have done when I was younger), but I'm still building websites with them.

My prior experience with other tech stacks helped me pick things up more easily too, because I know what subjects I should be googling to get the information I need, and a lot of it is basically the same concept, but with different syntax.
Those things are still possible in the current Mac OS.

Adding context, it’s also worth noting that Massachusetts is a pretty small, narrow state. Anyone who wanted to get a gun can easily go over the border.

Right next door is New Hampshire. A state with “live free or die” as it’s motto, and includes things like Walmart-sized liquor stores at the state border to take advantage of their dramatically lower liquor taxes. New Hampshire also has some of the most permissive gun laws in the country.

"They must find it hard to afford the tools to do so"

With the centenary woods in Amazon and the abundance of gold is not very hard to make money there.

There are the criminals as well, people who go to Amazon just to make money..and those should be hunt, but, since there are very big extensions of land is really hard to get those. Amazon is really huge, it's a Europe.

And since we don't extract the resources and use it to preserve the forest, there is no money to preserve it all. Wealthy countries love to complain but don't give the money necessary to preserve it ($50b/year is the needed).

A solution would be give the right of exploration to companies extract the resources in certain areas of land, get the taxes and invest in protection and require these companies to monitor a part of Amazon in exchange for the right of exploration.
But since no one can touch there, is really a no mans land.
I think asking the dumb questions is important. It shows they aren't afraid to admit they may not know basic things and have desire to learn and adapt

> most of my follows are pretty high-brow (…) and I still get almost no value from it. They use twitter to post (…) promos to web content that I didn't have trouble finding without twitter.

Have you considered you’re not getting value from it because your follows are high-brow?

Instead of following big shots with their own marketing teams, follow small creators in areas that interest you (e.g. indie game developers).
So is this one of those, "the board fired me and let me "quit" on my own terms" emails? I skimmed it and I don't see any substance, just the usual platitudes.
"Also guns are quite a bit harder to make than drugs..."

This statement is so broad as to be completely meaningless. "Guns" and "drugs" are both vast categories containing elements of wildly varying complexity. So this depends entirely on which drugs and which guns you're talking about.

Alcohol and single-shot pipe shotguns are stupidly trivial... Anyone with YouTube and some patience can figure it out. Meanwhile, making MDMA and AR-15s require a considerable investment in equipment and skills. Alcohol is far easier to make than an AR-15--and MDMA is far harder to make than a shotgun.

FTR, I have personally made both a pipe shotgun and alcohol from scratch. Super fun projects... Neither one should cost you more than $10 at the hardware store, and a half-day in the garage.
It’s really not hard to understand why if you think about it just a bit. Industrial farming requires very specific growing conditions (e.g., single crop per row/field and in a spacing that allows mechanized seeding and harvest). Growing by hand allows optimizing the ground space by, for example, under planting one crop to another (e.g., radishes can grow quickly so can be sown between larger plants while those larger are still small and the radishes are harvested before the space is needed by the larger plants). This is all very labor intensive, of course.

Another example is starting virtually all seedlings inside and then transplanting, which virtually all market gardens do. That gives a head start to your plantings. But of course again it’s labor intensive.

A good summary can be found in page 21 and following of the book How Asia Works (which can be found online: https://delong.typepad.com/files/studwell.pdf).

The "problems" you state are far older than Twitter, and its best to study history and the problem of "Yellow Journalism". Over 100 years ago, people were complaining about false-outrage that manipulates the American public.

The only thing that has changed is that the American public has _forgotten_ what it was like to live in a outrage-fueled society, and we have to relearn the lessons of the past now. We need laws and society to change and recognize that all this fake-outrage is damaging ourselves, our psyche, and ultimately, our society.
You just need to respect human agency instead of thinking you inherently know better than the world how to use it. It is a sentiment which is very out of current zeitgeist with its "boy who cried dystopia" bent.
>an event that occurred 5 years ago, was immediately rolled back after launch, and hasn't happened again.

It shouldn't have happened in the first place so no one gets any points for taking it down immediately. The fact it doesn't seem to have happened again also earns no points because again it should never have happened in the first place. At no point should your web browser silently install an addon/extension without your permission. That this same web browser wants to trot around afterwards and prattle on about how secure and open they are makes it even worse.
