I have a totally stock EPS that will just apply random full torque left or right if the battery voltage drops below ~10 volts. One would imagine that's a scenario they tested for, but apparently not! It happens very easily on my car when all the electrics are turned on for a few hours while driving with low revs, like driving on a cold dark day on a 40mph road.

The first time I did it, my thumb was dislocated because it was inside the wheel! Didn't realise quite how powerful power steering systems are!

Now I have tape over the heated seats button with a warning to only use them or the rear defroster, not both.

Fun fact: The power steering uses 170 Amps when turning the wheel fast! Of course the voltage drops!
Blu Ray quality is always better than streaming, by an order of magnitude. Blu Ray 4k has a bitrate of between 92 and 144Mb/s[1], Netflix bitrate at 4K is around 16Mb/s[2] - the resolution is the same but online streaming platforms will need to use loads of compression or most of their user base would not have a fast enough connection to watch video in 4K.

Full HD 1080p bitrates are a similar story, Blu Ray is much higher than streaming (36Mb/s vs around 6Mb/s, respectively)[3][4].

I get most of my meat from a local farm share. I've noticed that the largest difference vs grocery store meat by far is the fat in the pork we get. Poultry in general would be next, followed by the actual pork meat, and then beef. But yes, it's nice to get poultry that tastes like ... something.

The largest difference at first with beef was that it was grass fed and I was not used to that. But now I tend to buy grass fed beef when I do get it from the supermarket and thus don't notice a big difference vs my farm meat.
I remember that clearly. The asian Ugandans (they were born and bred natives), controlled a lot of stuff. It's fairly easy to see why the resentment festered.

The problem was that they controlled a lot of stuff.

When Amin threw them out, he gave their holdings to his cronies, who immediately started to loot them.

The national infrastructure collapsed, almost overnight.

I have no idea if it has fully recovered. When I lived there, Uganda was actually a relatively cosmopolitan country.

Lebanon comes to mind, as a similar nation.
I don't see that much a problem with it. 95 years or death + 70 years gives the creator and their children the benefit of their copyrights.

Guilded (YC S17) | Full Time | Full-stack software engineer | $150,000+ | REMOTE (U.S. only)

We're looking for senior full-stack software engineers to connect the world's online gaming communities. You'll join a quickly-growing, engineering-led team, where you'll be using modern processes and tools to build features that teams need and love (our users often say Guilded makes Discord feel like Skype).

We're a fully-remote and asynchronous team. We know that many engineers are the happiest and do their best work when they're empowered to build on their own schedule. If that sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.

We enjoy working and gaming together, have IRL meetups in really fun locations, and have very interesting challenges ahead in all areas from shipping new features to scaling infrastructure to meet demand.

You should have 5+ years of software development experience (ideally at least 2 years building and shipping consumer products) with expertise in Javascript, React, and SQL. Our tech stack is primarily Node and React, but we pull in other technologies as necessary.

Check out our company handbook for an intro to our culture at https://www.guilded.gg/jobs

> "You can’t return empties, so you can't free up the chassis required to move full containers out of the port. And because you're not pulling the containers out of the port, you're not able to return empties to the port. I did not know that this was the case before I went down there. We only discovered it during that three-hour boat ride."

It's interesting that he got this data by asking the owners of the many different companies involved (Ports / shipping / trucking).

Is this gridlock something that could be solved at-scale through short-term government intervention? That is, could the military provide "Free" storage in a boneyard out in the desert near LA for 6-24 months? Could permits and/or fees be waived to provide incentives? Should a new "Reef" be built by depositing 10k empty containers out in the Pacific (ick!)? The problem seems to be getting worse, and tipping points best avoided...

Seems like 1-off efforts to unlock the gridlock may be needed.

I'm not one to call aesthetics silly. The act of reading and writing programs relies heavily on the programmers emotion, and so I think aesthetics matter greatly. What don't you like about them?
What niche do you work in?
A priority queue is the easy answer to virtually any “top k” problem so is still worth mentioning.
Spewing BS doesn't in this context seem to imply either lying or shilling for somebody else. It's a devaluing the opinion of no taxing the rich, and being disappointed at the expression of that opinion.
I still have a set of SCO Xenix 386 (Santa Cruz Operation) 5.25-inch installation floppies, including the license activation key. (And yes, I have a nearly contemporaneous PC with a 5.25-inch floppy drive).

Of the listed *nix systems, I've worked on about half over my IT career. One that is also missing is Apollo/DOMAIN, which was eventually bought by HP.

Incidentally, Banyan VINES was a network OS like Novell Netware, rather than something a user would run on a workstation.
The longest I can theoretically think is justified is the death of the author. The idea to keep works out of the public domain so that heirs or estates or businesses can live off economic rents is pretty bizarre to me, seems straight up feudal.
I believe that the issue is that the harms are broad but relatively small for each person, while the benefits are quite concentrated for those who do profit. Thus, there aren't going to be many people where loosening copyright terms is their primary factor in voting for a legislator or lobbying, while the large rights-holders will put considerable effort into maintaining or extending the status quo.
I never thought I’d find a Heffalump or Woozle on HN, but there you have it. Truly all walks of life come here.

> My story is definitely anecdotal, but my cardiologist said that unfortunately she couldn't register this with VAERS because I got there too late. If it takes 3 weeks to get the the hospital in Denmark, how long does it take in India?

Highly skeptical about this. In the US, I registered to vsafe after my vaccines and got pinged for a survey daily after the dose for a week (IIRC) then weekly for a month. Then again after 6 months. All surveys asking about my condition, new symptoms, etc..

Not saying you're lying, or that your doctor was full of shit, but I don't believe there's any time limit for reporting possible vaccine side effects.

Also, VAERS is an American thing. Not sure what Denmark has to do with it. If there's a Danish equivalent, why didn't you mention it?

I'm sorry, but your post has too many red flags.
> Well, the world is aware that the US tends to have a "shoot first, ask later" policy.

The larger point that you seem to have missed being that the US military doesn't do anything without a logical or historical justification (barring cases involving immediate political pressure). They've either thoroughly thought it through or there are a lot of bodies behind the silliest of rules. Why do they insist on putting the non-dominant hand flat on top of the grenade spoon before pulling the pin? I dunno, but I'm sure a bunch of people died not doing it.

> I'll take UK policing over US policing any day of the week.

I'm sure you would, at this moment. But we'll see if that holds given the direction of the trendlines. It is always funny to me when people compare culturally homogenous countries to the US. There is a reason why Japan has such a low crime rate - and it isn't due to gun control.

In any case, it is silly to pretend that the UK isn't dancing to the tune of the US in this case - so pointing to anything the UK may do better is doubly silly.
Hello, are you also looking for interns ?
Why the hell does netflix has so many upvotes? i would pay triple their max subscription fee for their content!

For me it has to be Google, yeah FB too for obvious reasons but Google got too big and their products have been showing a detrimental pattern. They will be around but people are using tiktok and friends in lieu of youtube and their main revenue source is ADs via search and I see many good competitors in that space. New apps and enganging services don't really rely on google search. The main spenders are merchants and being able to get virtual foot traffic without Google's help is getting easier by the day.

Both Google and FB (Alphabet/Meta) are clouded by the arrogance an deep pocket brings where they thing their cash will somehow overcome the law of diminishing returns. Their historical predecessors like AT&T, IBM & Cisco are good examples. You can tell by how they treat their customers. Apple and Amazon know better, they keep their status because they know their deep pockets are always vulnerable and they need to treat their users very well even if they have to treat their employees like shit. I thing google and fb will just keep investing in new companies, lawyers and lobbyists to rhyme with history.

Example: I thing GCP is superior but I would bet on AWS support more than GCP any day! I think android can be customized to provide a better security and private environment but I would bet having a good UX with iOS any day.
I can see why they might do it this way. ABS/SC in ICE cars tend to focus mostly on the braking system. Since most ICE cars are two-wheel drive with an open differential, there's not much that can be done from a stability point of view besides cutting power. Even AWD cars with computer-controlled differentials have response times that are too long to really be of much use in an emergency situation.

EVs, OTOH, can apply or reduce torque to the wheels much faster than even the brakes can respond. And being able to not only apply stopping force to a wheel, but also apply torque to another wheel makes for a totally different approach to stability management.
Really free-range poultry (backyard chicken, rather than chicken grown in a factory with a tiny yard just enough to satisfy free range regulations) is like you say, tough, stringy, full of muscle, with normal-sized breasts and its meat is dark. It's no good for roasting because you really have to boil it for a couple of hours at least in order to get it to the point it's edible. I made the mistake once to only cook a hen for half an hour, like I'd do for supermarket chicken and I spent the night chewing until my jaws ached (I didn't want to throw it out. Poor bird died so I could eat it; so I ate it).

That said, real-free-range chicken makes the most unbelievably godly soup. They have this amazing yellow fat and their skin is thick with it, so they make a really thick broth. Just add a few vegetables, a bit of celery, some carrots, potatoes, and you don't even need rice or anything else to thicken it. I suspect it's that kind of chicken that people mean when they say that chicken soup is good for you when you're sick. It's the kind of soup that could raise the dead.

Edit - I forgot about the bones. Real free range chicken bones are hard. You can't just snap them between your fingers. Well I can't anyway. They're like real bones. Amaze!

> Ouch. Though honestly, this probably ought to result in some execs being fired

It should, but it won't because everybody failed the same way.

It was just like the 2008 banking crisis. Lots of people saw it coming, but reasoned "If I predict doom and mistime it, I'm an outlier and get fired. If I simply keep my head down and cash out and it all goes pear-shaped, I'm simply one of the masses and nobody will notice me."
> Or how JKR on Harry Potter went from being vilified by conservative voices to the modern "She who will not be named" of Lefty HBO.

well, that's for one very specific and notable reason alone, not because of some shifting moral landscape.
OK thats something. But thats still not much like what we have today. Its like Forster extrapolated from his era and imagined people in the future having more aquaintances. But I don't 'know' any of the people I interact with online, or at least very few of them. Nonetheless meaningfull (and sometimes silly but entertaining) interactions occur.
> characters have been changed ... Yennefer is no longer a mature, smart person but now is a stereotypical "I'm a strong independent woman" character that has the personality of a 15 year old. Triss is completely different from the books and game

That doesn't sound like wokeness, it sounds like a character change that you just don't like. Fair enough, but it's not wokeness.

> Fringilla magically changed to be black even though EVERY other Nilfgaardian is white. Side characters were changed to be black

I just finished watching this series. Some actors have dark skin but it's not part of their character or even mentioned. There's no reference to any sort of Black culture or even nation in-universe where people tend darker. There's no sense in which they are black except for the literal colour of their skin. And at that level, there's no sense in which the characters in the books aren't black. There's no "changed to be black" here.

I assumed you had some objection about the actual storyline which does in fact revolve around discrimination against Witchers, racism and genocide and slavery against Elves, culture wars between nations, and cultures domineering others through centuries of abuse and slavery. But really you're just annoyed that some actors are black?
I think the hot take is that although these are best practices, not many companies actually do them.
This podcast also had a strong impact on me. I'd love to hear some substantial debunking. In particular Dr. McCullough alleges that pre-hospitalization treatment of Covid has been de-emphasized at the cost of hundreds of thousands of excess deaths. If this tragedy occurred it is critical to learn from it.
Awesome!

How do I embed this?
Really? No, I don't know... To me the order is clear:

> Pay it but cut spending on other expenses
> Pay the costs from your savings
> Borrow from family or friends
> Charge to credit card and pay over time
> Take a personal loan

If that particular month I got that kind of scratch then I would definitely allocate it to cover the expense, second best and most likely, savings...

Family and friend if I must, luckily I do have a few names on the 'hey, can I borrow a few G's' list...

Credit card and loan are definitely bottom of the list... I finished paying a 7 grand credit debt a few years ago and decided to call it quits with it. Since then I've been trying to save and now (mid-thirties) I can finally feel at ease with some savings... I'm terrible with money btw.
One thousand years. This gives the creator, their children, and their descendants the benefit of their copyrights for a millennium.
Maybe the solution is to have a randomly generated paragraph of text to read which expires in short amount of time. So you can't predict it and you don't have enough time to splice together a fake reading from something else.
Same reason tech patents last for 20 years and not 5.

You've got big moneyed interests who benefit from long IP terms and small groups of people that might benefit from shorter IP periods. End result, no legislator will push for shorter terms, they just don't care about it.

Disney can show how much money they'll lose if the mouse becomes public domain (and how much that'd hurt campaign contributions) while Mickey's auto repair shop will struggle to show similar losses if they can't put the mouse on their billboard.
First, try to do some market research. If you can bootstrap on one platform, you can afford to pay someone to rewrite it later. I'm guessing many potential customers don't have a computer either. Cross-platform is probably a good idea eventually. Including mobile. Since I'm guessing with a note-taking app for confidential information (medical?), your customers might be word-of-mouth. I'm guessing Windows is a good target, but you may want to think about mobile-first. If you go with Windows, Qt is a good choice. But give Electron a shot too, it's probably not that slow for a simple app. It's when people start piling heavy themes and bad algorithms on top of it that it gets slow.
I don't think people care much about this issue and will focus more on issues that actually matter to them in a functioning democracy. E.g. taxes, health care, crime, education.
I'm not sure who downvoted you, but I cannot agree more.

For giggles, I just went ahead and priced this out:

One-time costs:

* Plex Pass: $80

* NZB indexer access: $10 (for 2 or 3)

Ongoing monthly costs:

* File server (three-year deprecation): $55

* IPTV: $15

* Unlimited Usenet account: $3

This took an afternoon of setup, but has just worked since. Heck, the other day I discovered a new season of a show had apparently been released – because it completed downloading and filled Plex overnight.
Parent said Petersen was "spewing BS... to protect his money", I suppose that may not quite be shilling, it's more being deceptive and greedy/crass? I am happy to accept clearer wording if you've got any ideas.
Because nuclear accidents don't stop at the border. And besides nuclear being the most expensive options, it's still not safe, nor a solved problem for futute generations. You just cannot keep going on poisoning the world.
There's no group that sees a huge immediate profit from their reduction to finance a lobby, and the overall benefit to the average person is very opaque.

How would you pitch a fifty year copyright to a random neighbor? "Tired of spending full price on Beatles albums? Wish you could hear more Elvis covers? Reduce copyright!"
This is close to how they make the mask-sets, very slow.
For whatever it is worth, Winnie the Pooh is far from most popular children's books.

It was movies that got super popular and fun to watch. Book is one of those you buy, but rarely read cause neither you nor kid wants it that much.
1,000 years is too long IMO.
Maybe its a stretch but I was doing research into North Korean hacks from APT38 and noticed that TSMC had been hit by WannaCry in mid/late 2018 shutting down some of their chip manufacturing facilities. Would it be possible to believe this snowballed into what we have today with a series of bad situations?
It would be cumbersome though - if one thread grows too long, someone has to re-arrange the whole board to make it fit etc. I imagine long conversations would be very rare on that platform. Message boards would mostly be one off messages ' bike for sale' etc
Rule-Based Programming in Interactive Fiction
From the people that I've spoken to, you are correct that this is where the implementation eventually arrived, but I'm not sure that was the original intent. I know at one point they tried a Go rewrite, but I'm not sure that ever shipped or if any design changes were made.
Normally it's better to focus on high-level time-complexity improving optimizations but there's still a whole lot of things where you really need assembly micro-optimizations, since they usually offer a 10x or 100x speedup. It's just that those things usually only concern core libraries. Stuff like crc32. But the rest of the time we're just writing code that glues all the assembly optimized subroutines together.
Getting people drug addicted removes potential help and illegal immigration drives down prices
I did some quick profiling and it is doing quite a lot of re-rendering, but I do not see any of the common issues you see in actual slow React apps. For me it performs well, even on 6x slowdown there is no visible lag or "stickiness" (I'm on a Macbook Air M1).

The background does take up some CPU, have you tried if it's still slow when you change it to a static picture?
Side note: it's absolutely insane that you can change the background! Amazing work, such detail.

A different framework would not make a difference per se, maybe less re-rendering could help a bit, you can easily do that in React. And btw I'm not hating on the other frameworks mentioned; absolutely legit choices, but React is as well.

There are many very performant and user friendly apps written in React, and you can easily write shitty apps in all frameworks (React included).

I'm very impressed by this app, so much functionality and details, honestly insane.
