Given the knee jerk reaction caused by my initial comment, I'm going to propose everyone to wait for 10 years until the rampant overprescriptions of these drugs become clearly in the eye of everyone, the new opioid epidemic.

In the meantime, I'll add ADHD to the list of uniquely american things (alongside circumcision and tipping), even tho I am sure that there are at least more than 0 people in every other country in the world who heard about ADHD before (so impressed by your rhetorical skills guys, merry xmas1).
That’s at the root of all these stories about, ”I can’t afford to live where I grew up”. Buddy, I can’t either, but when my parents bought it was a fruit orchard. Today it’s the hottest real estate market in the world. It’s apples and oranges.
This is the dumbest take I've read in a long time. From him I've learned which lifepo4 batteries won't burn my house down, proper wiring for stuff, etc. I've got a 144ah battery pack sitting right next to me as I type this I built from learning from him. Are you sure your comment isn't about the youtuber Electricboom?
well one day we will get lucky ;)
Replace them...?
A burst happening has nothing to do with desirability not being the answer. Less desirable areas had bigger bursts. Relatively, desirable areas will always appreciate, by definition. Housing isn't a mass produced fungible commodity like a car.

People comparing cars to houses make no sense.
Multi-day. IIRC I've only eaten on six different days since November 10th. Three Thanksgiving parties! One Christmas. Still eating out of social conformity but otherwise, just not. Next time I'll eat will be New Year's Eve.
I haven’t tried shrooms but had a similarly horrifying bad trip on weed brownies at my parents’ place a few years ago. My dad had just gotten into baking them and insisted I have two (BIG mistake) and I spent the next 6-or-so hours cycling through panic attacks and hallucinations while absolutely convinced I had murdered my parents earlier that evening.

Gotta say, my ole man knows how to make a potent pot brownie.
This is a perfect example of why cops should be paid more. If you could be convinced to be a cop the world would be a better place.

I live in an off-grid house. Solar isn't perfect, but it's been pretty good all things considered 6 months in. Converting an airport shuttle bus into an RV now, so I'll have to look this over for that.
> ... and I've been known to rescind my references and recommendations upon making such discoveries.

Why?

If person A makes some claim about subject X at some point in time, and you find it true and worth sharing, what then makes their claims invalid if you discover later that person A believes something you find distasteful? If their statement about X was true at the point in time it was made, is it any less true if you discover you can't stand the person?

What if you read a book by someone who makes well written arguments and an enjoyable read, and then attend a book signing years later and realize that they have rancid BO or something, and are oddly vocal about [insert some fetish you find exceedingly disgusting here]? Does the character of the author you discover later impact the arguments in the previous book?

It's a really odd and, IMO, exceedingly broken filter for what sources of information you're willing to consider. It makes it really easy to never go outside your own head, because anyone who believes all the same things you do can't have anything terribly interesting to teach you, and anyone who believes different things can be spun as somehow abominable.

I'm not nearly so arrogant as to think I know everything. I'm certain there are things I'm wrong about, though I've no idea what they are at the moment. I'm equally certain that I have rather different opinions about subjects than many of the people I interact with, either in person or online. Some of them make for interesting conversations (I prefer a fire pit, pipe or cigars, and a bit of whiskey to make things civil), some of them we simply agree not to discuss, and that's fine.

Sorry, but none of this works - although it’s a fun thought experiment. It’s very hard to predict human behaviour and it’s impossible to know how things will unfold over time.

Closing coal mines without having an alternative power source would only create shortages and price hikes.

Only 2-3% of new car sales are EVs. You not getting an EV to leave it to someone else is not going to get that number up.

The line thing would exasperate people and everyone would leave. Actually, seeing long lines and impatient customers is probably the best way to accelerate service by stressing out the staff.
We're not coming out of an ice age. Changes in temperature are not only much faster than they have been in the past, they're rapidly accelerating.

Could you insulate the batteries to reduce the heating demand? Instead of heating the entire cabin just heat the battery compartment, and only to the minimum necessary to keep them from being damaged (plus a margin for safety).

Maybe even just toss them in an old discarded deep freeze? You could even have one battery in there that is disconnected from the rest of the system so it can be used to jump start the system if it ever gets fully discharged.
I see a similar thing happening in America. It's just a blame game while refusing to change any aspect of culture that might indicate internal conditions of said culture that prevents similar outcomes to other, more "successful" cultures. But it's not nice to say this.

Ask HN: Late 30s PM career change to dev?
I am in my late 30s, currently a mid-level PM that has spent the better part of a decade at series A and B startups. I have previous experience in analytics and occasional dabbling of amateurish coding on the side.

I have always wondered if I'd be happier and less stressed as a developer. I've historically had difficulty with work life balance in a PM role; much of this problem is me, but some is the PM life as well. Every couple of years I wonder about going to code camp.

I am not worried about having to start at the bottom again and earning a entry level salary but am worried about ageism. Worst scenario would be I end up in a situation where I can't get a dev job and I've created too much of a gap to return to a good PM role.

With an earlier analytics background perhaps data engineering would be a softer/safer path, but I also like the idea of full stack or mobile.

Success to me might look like being as capable as a decent-performing mid-level dev at a pre-IPO scale-up within 5 years of taking the leap. I am going to be real with myself that FAANG would be a stretch.

Have any ex-PMs here made a later career switch like this? Any ENG hiring managers have advice? Am I crazy?
Pearson is for affine/linear+intercept relationships. Spearman is for monotonic relationships.
Right, electrics can be optimized to a usage. Some buses could have capacitor banks recharged at every stop. That sort of tactic would be nonsense for a daily driver.
Die Wise by Stephen Jenkinson is a masterpiece. I thought I had a pretty good relationship with death until I read this book. It starts out slow because that’s the thesis of the book: go slow and pay attention; be curious and feel emotions deeply without hurrying. He gently and convincingly shakes down concepts that seems beyond reproach like “hope”. Seriously he makes a killer argument against hope. Not that it’s all bad, but rather that it must earn it’s place at the table. Hope, he argues, is like a mortgage. You pay today with a goal of owning a piece of happiness in the future. (Eg Today’s bad because I’ve been told that I’m dying but I hope that I’ll get better with experimental therapy. 99% do not, so it’s better not to mortgage your future on a promise that’s unlikely.) I can’t do the book justice here, but I hope someone reads it because of this recommendation!
There's no comparison between 15.ai and other TTS.

Metro areas aren't magically sustainable. If anything, metro areas are very unsustainable whenever there's a supply chain issue, which is whenever there's an election to be won now.

The website's author hosts an excellent forum [0] focused on DIY solar power, for anybody who wants to get a bit deeper in to this and has questions or needs help sourcing parts (like LiFePO4 cells and BMSes) from China.

I recently built a LiFePO4 battery and upgraded our caravan (trailer) electrical system following these guides and with help from the forum. Couldn't have done it without those resources.

I am so tempted to get rid of my books.

I will keep the 1st editions, and most reference books.

I feel can toss everyone of my computer books. (Not one did I find well written, or worth keeping. If anyone decided to write a computer/programming book take out every unneeded word. Maybe take a technical writing course if you live near a good university?)

It's just hard to get rid of reference books.
I'm not sure how you can say that without knowing the heat loss for every room. With a wall mounted unit and closed doors there's not really any alternative. My entire example is meant to just be an example.

In reality you'd use a ducted split system, not 8 heads.

Anyway, are you claiming installing a split system is cheaper than installing a Burnham boiler? The point of the post is to say that boilers/furnaces are much cheaper to install in order to heat your entire house.
It might be a horrible idea to attempt to extinguish a lithium fire with water. [1]

How heavy is an EV bus? Battery-electric cars are already pretty hefty for their class. Would a bus be even more so, to the point of being dangerously massive?
As I wrote a few weeks ago, I have been successfully running an on-grid 5Kw solar system that has immensely helped me.

The on grid part helps with credit banking during summer and using in winters. For that, I changed my on grid inverter with a "phocos solar inverter" that does the same thing but also, when there is a grid power outage, it still supplies power to home without having batteries.

I haven't bought batteries because of the cost but this has been a good experience.

My panels are 16*325W and I produce around 30Kwh during the day in summers and during the current winter, I get enough to run appliances, rice cooker and lighting.
The cellular network standards (GSM/xG) use it heavily too.

> That sounds great to me, but I don’t see apartment buildings here in NYC being built with induction cook tops.

Very true for the average apartment.

Two (huge) obstacles for induction cooktops:

1) They're still more expensive than a non-induction electric cooktop. Might not be a big deal in a $1 million apartment buildout, but if someone is remodeling a block of apartments that are going to rent out no matter what they contain, the remodelers are going to get the cheaper non-induction equipment.

2) They depend on the type of cookware used. Again, not a big deal if you're a homeowner spending $$$ on a remodel and cookware to go with it. But it is a big deal if you're trying to rent out apartments to people who have cookware and you don't want to get constant calls about the fancy cooktop not working.

It's not realistic to expect the average NYC apartment to get fancy induction cooktops. They're just going to get the cheap electric units.

Try eating even less. I don't eat anything and I'm never hungry. (This is because I have a lot of fat on my body.)

If you're fat, you shouldn't ever be hungry, but eating food actually makes you go through cycles of hunger.

Stop eating altogether you get a steady hormonal state that is never hungry (until your fat reserves deplete).
No, as someone who used to live next to an expressway (45-50 mph traffic), the problem is 95% tire noise. Modern cars not accelerating make very little noise from the ICE.

The tires are like nails on a chalkboard to me after living that way for a 5 years. It cut through my apartment walls and morning rush hour served as a mandatory alarm clock.

The only time engines were an issue were people with modded exhaust or people street racing (motorcycles or cars).

Babies grow into humans which are clearly capable of running marathons. This science has no such birthright and may eventually prove to be truly unfeasible.
I think your numbers are off somewhere. Maybe you are thinking of some particular form of pollution rather than fuel efficiency? Short trips before the engine warms up are less fuel efficient, but nowhere near only 1/4 as efficient. Here's the US government suggesting a worst case combination of cold weather and a cold engine can cause a 24% drop in miles per gallon (ie, still more than 3/4 as efficient):

Fuel economy tests show that, in city driving, a conventional gasoline car's gas mileage is roughly 15% lower at 20°F than it would be at 77°F. It can drop as much as 24% for short (3- to 4-mile) trips.

Lack of well-protected harbors north of the Bay Area.

As you move North the winter storms get more and more fierce. You have to go pretty far inland (Portland or Puget Sound) to reach calm waters and a low enough wind speed to hold down construction costs for tall buildings.

The closest thing to an exception is Grays Harbor, which is topographically equivalent to the SF Bay but extremely shallow -- much too shallow for container ships. They have to dredge it every few years just to get the ag/lumber/automobile ships into the port.
After using streaming games on a Gigabit connection, I will remain convinced the UX will be subpar compared to local rendering. Beyond the technical side of it, why would I want to pay per second for remote rendering when local is sufficiently good? Is it because rent seeking is good for the operators?
I am not a MS employee but I do work as a software engineer at a small company and make six figures a year. Mistakes like this happen. In fact they happen all the time. There are a lot of people out there writing code on any given day. Some of them may have been staring at the screen for 12 straights hours trying to make a release date. Sure its a lot more visible when someone like MS makes one, but think about the actual issue here. They did not create a feature with the intent to overwrite existing licenses files, they made a feature to ensure the correct licenses were added to new repos. Now they forgot one edge case (out of how many thousands or millions?), took ownership of the mistake, and are taking actions to correct it. Overall to me that seems like a very small bug that they took/are taking steps to fix on Christmas no less.

>>None of this is an acceptable level of failure from people that drawing a 6 figure salary for a position of expertise or leadership.

If the rest of the world thought like you we would not have any people left in high paying jobs. Everyone is bound to make mistakes. Owning up and setting things right is what is important in my eyes.

Seems easy enough to play around with, and need not be strictly numbers either, as long as rank is defined on your fields (they are sortable...total ordering? I'm rusty on my terminology). Basically sort X, take the variance of the rank of Y, Z, etc. Much in the same way you would compute multi variable correlation.

You can definitely do that, however in practice, separating out by files makes the code very easy to test, since you can validate functionality per pixel type, and then validate your outer loop by passing fake objects with correct functions.

You can also have internal workings with static functions/variables that you can use as helpers, but invisible to outside code and not declared in header files.
This is one of the things intelligence agencies do: find people predisposed to being convinced to do things for them and them and then sending them to achieve things. A “real” spy with lots of experience has a lot more information to extract and is a much more valuable prisoner than an idealistic kid who knows basically nothing and has at least plausible deniability for the recruiting agency. Also conceivably some plans are pretty stupid like in every industry and for every job and the fact that these things are secret means you very rarely get the actual story about what was going on.

> They’re useless to cook on.

I'd say this is a bit of an overreaction. They're definitely terrible to time correctly, heat-wise. But they also can definitely cook. I've made a rib-eye steak medium rare just fine on a cast iron using reverse-sear between oven and the glass range.

The part I really hate is how careful I need to be not to damage the glass when using a heavy pan like that.
Well, where QM really comes into play the most is probably in the chip fabrication industry, all the nanometer-scale processes involve rely heavily on that theory. If you get an applied physics / quantum mechanics PhD from a leading research university today you can get a very well paid job designing and troubleshooting the machines that go into a chip fabrication setup.

Claiming it wouldn't be possible with JvN is a bit much, though. It was Heisenberg who developed matrix mechanics the most, along with people like PAM Dirac. JvN put the mathematics on a firmer footing, but claiming he should be viewed like Einstein, it's kind of silly:
