“20% of electric car owners switch back to gas-powered cars” “20% of electric car owners switch back to gas-powered cars”
I love the 30 year mortgage. I buy a home I couldn't afford in cash or with a substantially shorter term note, live in the house 2-4 years then sell it for a profit with no prepayment penalty. I've done that 4 times in a row each time being able to buy a house that's perfect for my family's needs at the moment.

The real problems, in my opinion, are (1) people go all-in for their "forever home" only to discover most people don't stay that long, and (2) people view themselves as owners rather than future sellers. Understand your house is a leveraged investment and you'll do well.
I had an Amiga 3000, and the significant thing for me with it was that I could run my multiline BBS at the same time as I could play games or do other things. Before Windows 3.0. During the MS-DOS era.

No one is suggesting we stop giving fentanyl deaths attention or lumping all age groups. The suggestion here is to always give the caveat: ~300k COVID deaths compared to ~64k fentanyl deaths overall.

I've seen too many posts by COVID-deniers referencing this statistic without the caveat.
I've also noticed something similar when researching mobile phones. Device pages that are clearly automatically created with poor and often nonsensical sentences and repition created by some script. And ranking top of Google. Similarly on YouTube videos that are collection of still images with robot voice reading clearly copy texts with almost zero original content. Again ranking near the top for a topic.
https://www.ssa.gov/oact/STATS/table4c6.html confirms that. In the US, it's about 1 in 400 for men at 40, 1 in 600 for women; at 50 it's 1 in 200 for men and 1 in 300 for women; and at 60 it's 1 in 90 for men, 1 in 150 for women. About 17% of US men, and 11% of US women, who make it to 40 are dead before 66. These are all pre-covid rates (from 02017).
There exists no distinction between "publishers" and "platforms" as far as Section 230 protections from online liability goes. It's entirely decided by who produced the content: users are responsible for content that they upload, the sites hosting user-generated content are not. It doesn't matter if the site selectively promotes, or otherwise acts as a "publisher", so long as it's the user's content.

Highly inflammatory.

I was a in a crowd of protesters that had guns pointed at us by a group of white right PB/3%/OK last summer in Portland that were occupying a block. I realize you are probably talking about the protests to end police violence and call for accountability, but I think you're mixing up who's protesting what. PB's come to town and occupy blocks regularly, they aren't fighting for social justice, the are simply fighting against social justice.

> Not that I agree with either side.

Do you know what the sides are? Because it's rather shocking that you would say that, esp. about Portland.
Something's not right there. People use Zotero with libraries with tens of thousands of items all the time. (Some people have hundreds of thousands of items, though that gets dicier.) Not sure exactly what you were seeing, but we'd be happy to debug in the Zotero Forums if you wanted to try again. It's possible to configure a third-party plugin such that it affects performance, for example.

> The results were subtle, but significant. Compared to meat-eater Ross, vegan Hugo experienced a massive drop in cholesterol and a sharp increase in resistance to type 2 diabetes. Hugo said that he struggled with the vegan diet for the first few weeks, experiencing huge cravings for meat and cheese, but he eventually got used to it and claimed to feel more energetic.

> Notably, the vegan diet was associated with a steadier blood sugar level and energy level, while the carnivorous diet resulted in harsher peaks and dips of energy. Interestingly, however, the vegan diet resulted in a severe reduction in gut bacteria diversity, while it remained stable during the meat and dairy diet.

I was always fascinated by the idea of "field testers" testing products in their daily lives and writing a short review about their experience. A cook would write about a chef knife, a post officer about comfortable all-weather boots, a craftsman about a tool etc.

The biggest problem would be how to incentivize such people, but gamification and some monetary rewards from the community could probably solve this.
A fun exercise when reading posts like those is to mentally compare to TCL. It is somewhat uglier - TCL's lists are multi-valued; and newlines are signficicant, introducing difference between "script" and "command".

Still, the basic eval command looks remarkably similar in lisp vs TCL.
Is there a plugin which allows you to curate your own index, i.e. a whitelist of sites to search?
So you're saying you just go with the flow instead of planning out things then?
I was considering doing something similar this spring, but instead of trenching my yard I was considering solar and just a small mesh network to get to the corner of my backyard, maybe 300 feet from the house. My thought was that it would be an office and reading area. Perhaps a place to nap away from the kiddo as well :)
That’s hilarious to me because I remember someone at UT wrote a pascal compiler in Lisp so TeX would run on the lispm.
> The web has become a crappy place to research products

I'd say most people's interface to the web has become crappy.
From the book Make It Stick: The science of successful learning (Brown, Rodiger, and McDaniel, 2014), interleaving your practice (mix it up, and be okay with each subject feeling difficult), and using active recall (for example, before looking something up, commit a guess and risk being wrong) seem to be effective in general. Only throwing fastballs until comfortable, and then switching to knuckleballs, might feel easier but tends to result in slower skill-building.
We kid and joke about expensive cables, but we're at a point where it's become true. It's hit or miss buying USB cables. For fast-charging as an example (double-trouble if you don't have a quality or compatible charger to pair it with). Likewise for USB transfer rates (e.g. for the Oculus Quest that I was not planning on testing with 10 different 5m USB cables to see which worked).

Same goes for the connectors. All the IEEE and ISO standards out there in the world and the damn USB plugs stick out half the time (nevermind the Chinese-made ones I had that were 1.5x the normal length). In other instances 3.5mm jacks don't stay in or something or other becomes loose. And trying to find reviews or info about this online, or filtering it out to some level on purchase sites like Amazon is...tiring.
For context, analysts forecast 266k deliveries. That is an ~15% beat.

This could push QoQ profits up 50% from 2b to over 3b, if margins increase slightly.
Is it a rip off? Supply and demand. Charging more incentivized more production. Which we desperately need.
I normally don't talk to people much about real estate, house prices, mortgages etc., but the local real estate market has heated up a little so I have been talking about these things with people more.

One thing I did not expect is how many banks have waived the 20% down payment rule. If you pay some mortgage insurance you can buy a home with less than 20%. I have talked with people who managed to ante up 20%, and some who bought without 20% down.

In light of the not-so-distant 2008 subprime mortgage bailout, some of what is happening surprised me a little. Obviously, that this is happening would have the tendency to inflate real estate prices.

This 100% has nothing to do with it. Screws aren’t even the easy, cheap, or fast option for construction. Everyone defaults to nails anyway because they’re the cheap, fast, easy, and correct option for framing.

Building a code-compliant small structure is basically trivial these days. The information is readily available from so many different sources that you have to ignore them all and choose to improvise your own thing, such as using screws instead of framing nails in a framing nailer, to get things done.

Many of the code violations in this build are just common sense problems, like putting high voltage wiring in a pipe with low-voltage wiring.

> People in the know are often comfortably well off. They have no problem with saying "Well, pay the few extra bucks to do it right." and the result is some people are sleeping in the streets and it falls on deaf ears when you try to draw those connections.

Construction workers are well-versed in building to code. It’s definitely not causing housing shortages or even remotely related to it. Code isn’t causing houses to not be built, and abolishing building code wouldn’t increase the rate of construction.

Zoning, on the other hand, is a huge problem.

I find myself appending the word "forum" to a large percentage of my google queries these days, to avoid the dynamic you mentioned. This essentially filters the results for real/original content of other people that were looking for the same information as me.
If you don't keep spending your entire income the interest rate will fall below zero. Our enlightened society has decided that an interest rate below zero is apparently defrauding savers while they can just get a certificate of deposit at 0% interest and therefore demands endless growth fueled by government debt.

The best part is that the very same people demand that the government pay its debts back, at very high interest of course, which is completely illogical because paying debt reduces interest rates.
How is dealers adding additional markup to the MSRP helping improve supply?
The larger issue as I see it is that the medical system around these screenings are not well versed in the statistics and able to communicate that to patients. "Eight [patients] said they never received any information about the possibility of a false positive, and five recalled that their doctor treated the test results as definitive." It's hard to know what happened in the room when the doctor spoke with them or what was on those particular patients tests, and that's (one hopes) the worst medical news those people will receive for a long time so listening comprehension is understandably impaired, but there needs to someone available who can help them interpret, even days or weeks later, and these people were let down by the entire system, not just the test manufacturers.
The mortgage rate is locked in, but that doesn’t save you—if you have a high mortgage rate the rates could go down (but you’re locked in and can’t benefit unless you refinance), if you have a low mortgage rate then the principal is higher.
I know Paul Graham explicitly said it's ok to downvote for disagreeing (I read it a few weeks ago, I cannot provide a source), but it's not like his words are religious scriptures haha.

There's no real point in having rules you can't enforce anyway. If you wanted to stop that you would have to get rid of downvotes alltogether.

I used to think downvotes were a good thing and I wished some other forums had them, but HNs downvote system changed my mind. I wonder if that would increase the load on the mods because then people would use flagging for that? I don't know. It's not my forum, I don't have access to the statistics and I don't get a say anyway!
To add to the other comment, Zotero can also download the PDF for you if you just have a citation (if it can find it) and it also integrates into Word, Google Docs, etc. for citations when writing research papers.

It's especially useful for multiple people writing the same research paper as the library can be shared.
While I agree with you, I remember that 3 a.m. was also quite busy in Dubai, it's not an usual or quiet time there.
protip: add "forum" to your search. you'll get hits from actual forums and you'll bypass a lot of seo crap
that has quite the overhead for something that can be done using a single bit of the actual value. roughly half the programming i do is high-performance real-time constrained. not really appropriate in that context.
The side scrolling is nice, but when searching some code related question it doesn't show useful results. Even the Code Complete snippets aren't displayed in a readable way, lines are too short, and the language highlight is not recognized (every script is python by default?).

Thanks for mentioning it since I'm creating a snippet search engine and wanted some competitors to compare.
Better ensure that assert is not turned off in release mode then.
It’s all bad. I’m not able to save up for a down payment, even if I wanted to buy a home (which I don’t, I want to keep moving around places and I’d rather not worry about maintenance, property taxes, etc.) I feel bad for those who do want to buy and are priced out.
> The answer is usually "one person every 400k sessions".

But you control that to some extent. If more people are aware of the command and believe it will work (I wouldn't) then you'll probably get higher incidence rates. I wouldn't believe it would work because like the person two parent comments above, less than half the novel crap I try works. So I try novel crap less and less frequently compared to things that I know will work.

Stocks generate rent and so do houses. That is why these things can continue to grow in value without being called ponzi schemes, though there are certainly speculative phases for both. To compare these things with cryptocurrency is to show a profound misunderstanding of investment. Cryptocurrency does not generate any rent, the sole reason you buy Bitcoin is because you think you might find a greater fool to buy it from you for a higher price. This is identical to how ponzi schemes function
> Is it better to terminate 85 pregnancies which do not have a serious defect in order to catch 15 which do?

Yes, it’s absolutely better to do that. Of course, the actual ratio is much better than that because we do follow-up tests after the screen.
As a Debian and Android user, can anyone help me understand how AirDrop and this python implementation differ from or are similar to Syncthing and/or Firefox Send? Is it basicly the same idea?
Interesting. This just seems like a "snooze" service which I thought most providers had by now. Do you have any concerns around privacy or exposing sensitive data to a third-party?
Surprised this sort of hack would even pass code review.
> At what point is it not better to terminate 100% of pregnancies?

Everyone should decide for themselves. Having seen the long term consequences I would rather err on the side of caution, even if it were difficult to become pregnant.

Such diseases are often incurable and significantly degrade the quality of life of not only the person to be born but the whole immediate family. At least in the US the there isn't enough social safety net or support too offset the crushing costs.
Lend people money so they have more to spend, and lo and behold, prices go up. But now you are in the same situation as before except you are in debt.
Google puts substantial effort into identifying copycat content. The main way they do that is to see which site had the content first.

Unfortunately with smaller sites, it could be a few days till their search bot finds the content, and often the copycat sites have agressive scrapers so appear to have the content first.

From googles point of view, the copycat is the original, and the original is the copycat.

There are also some kinds of copycat content which users actually prefer. For example, sites which bypass paywalls, sites which quote other sites, sites that display decrapified content from another site, etc.
I wouldn't call this kind of macro idiomatic in non-GTK code. Reference counting is mostly used only occasionally in Rust code, and so the boilerplate cost of adding another local variable when giving a closure its own reference-counted pointer is outweighed by the maintainability cost of introducing a macro.

gtk-rs is different because it pervasively uses Rust bindings to a non-Rust-based memory management system based on reference counting and interior mutability, kind of like if everything was wrapped in Rc<RefCell<T>>. In that scenario, yeah, adding another local in front of every closure capture sounds like a pain. If most Rust code were like this, I suspect that something like glib::clone would be added as built-in syntax.
"1,350 versus 1,319"

Without knowing anything else, I seriously doubt that is statistically significant.

The normal pre-COVID ICU bed occupancy rate was somewhere near 57-82% (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3840149/). 54% is quite low. I suspect that the bar for getting into an ICU bed has been raised by the number of COVID patients.

BTW, Indiana has ~1,940 ICU beds (https://www.wfyi.org/news/articles/indiana-releases-specific...). In numbers, that means

* ~173 are unoccupied,

* ~718 are occupied by COVID patients, and

* ~1048 are occupied by non-COVID patients.
If you are triggered by my „anti-morality views“, please re-read my comments again. There are too many attempts in this thread to stretch morality over basic policy and product issues and to shape it into a personal attack on me, I’m going to stop responding to all of them.
If something can be both right and wrong depending on context, it is not guided by morality, it is guided by reason and by data. Some data retention policy can be right for some users and wrong for others. Lockdown can be appropriate solution under certain conditions and an attack to personal freedom in other cases. Neither data retention or hygiene rules are moral or immoral, because there’s no universal judgement for them. If something is highly contextual and disputed, it is better to keep morality off the discussion, otherwise consensus will never be found. It is better to use something people agree on, like human laws or laws of nature.
I have a Garmin Fenix 6 Pro and it does a pretty good job tracking my HRV, but I am not sure if the best measure (at least for me) to track my well being. I find just step counting and "activity minutes" to be a better metric for me. Basically if I force myself to walk, bike, etc I end up having a better week then if I do not. I also try not to read to much news.
Specificity and sensitivity are two dimensions that you can measure tests in. You can claim your test is 99% accurate if you mean that "if the test says you don't have the disease, there is a 99% chance that you don't have the disease". That same test can still be 85% wrong if it says you DO have the disease, though.

I doubt that hyping one side of this equation is fraud. Pushing the error in this direction seems like a good idea, anyway. If you have some weird illness, and the test comes back as a false positive, at least you'll continue to explore that possibility for a while. If it comes back as a false negative, then you'll spend a ton of time exploring alternatives which will be true negatives. Probably infuriating.

The ability to pass less than 20% with PMI has been a thing for a long time... It was around before the 2008 crash and never went away afterwards. The bar to qualify for a mortgage went up, and has come back down some (though not all the way to pre-2008 levels), but PMI didn't really change AFAIK.
There's a chap on YouTube that compares smart watches to pro (or prosumer?) devices. His take away from testing apple series 7 watch [0] is that it's very accurate when it comes to heart rate and HRV.

The appeal of having a smart device like this is that you don't have to worry much about manual tracking. My problem with the Apple Watch is that I couldn't keep it charged.

I've also heard really interesting personal stories about Garmin body battery functionality so I might check that out next.

These are the formulas you want:

They are the classic IIR biquads. If you want steeper filters, just run multiple equal filters in series (high-order IIRs are prone to numeric instability).

Consumer Reports is my first stop whenever I look to purchase some non trivial item. I typically use the top five from their recommended list to quickly narrow down my initial result set. Then I'll cross reference with Wirecutter to see if they are in agreement (usually are). If I'm down to one or two choices at that point I'll try to find some unbiased reviews on YouTube. Not a perfect system, but I find it works pretty well compared to just going right to a Google search result.
