>the panels are illuminated by the sun at different angles, and the maximum possible angle occurs only once a day

What would it take to put these on motors that follow the sun? How much of the energy being generated by the panels would be eaten up by the motors? Would it be a net benefit to have the panels being at the maximum possible angle throughout a greater part of the day, even if part of the energy is having to drive motors?
Not distributing per se (even though this would be possible) but I am storing my bookmarks in OneNote in a logical structure. OneNote has the advantage to easily switch between browsers and is fully searchable.
Individual beings who have a moral sense of personhood engage in behavior that can be classified as moral or immoral, right or wrong, permissible or impermissible. Their actions can be categorized as either condemnable or commendable. It makes sense to hold them morally responsible for their intentional actions.

In contrast to humans, animals such as dogs, cats, birds, and fish are commonly held NOT to be moral agents or moral persons. In the jungle, a lion eating another animal or killing a human for any reason is not considered morally wrong or blameworthy.

Pet owners frequently chastise their pets for undesirable behaviors such as urinating on the carpet, digging in the garden, or failing to obey a command, but yelling "bad dog" is not usually interpreted as moral agency. One could argue, however, that the owner is engaging in moral expectation or anthropomorphism.
This is not a defense of NFTs as they are being discussed. “NFTs” in this conversation are exactly the dumb ape pictures. Maybe NFT technology has some valuable applications, but don’t muddy the conversation trying to argue semantics. Your defense of hypothetical use cases of the same technology looks like a defense of the current use case.

And it’s entirely reasonable that people would be worried about gullible people buying worthless things. We call these scams and they are bad for society in general. I also worry about old ladies being conned into unnecessary roof repairs and I worry about dumb people falling prey to email scams and I worry about all sorts of other con artist activity because it’s bad stuff and harmful to society.
When I first graduated college in 2008, I got a job at Lockheed Martin which offered flexible working schedules. I loved it, but was so naive to think this was commonplace. Adopting flexible working arrangements seems like an easy way for organizations to improve morale.

At Lockheed, they let you pick if you wanted to work the standard 5x8 days 40 hour week, 4x10 days 40 hour week, or the 9x9 80 hour two-weeks with every other Friday off. This worked great. Everyone was aware that not everyone on the team could be counted as being available on Fridays depending on their schedule. Unfortunately for me when I left there, I realized how unusual this working arrangement is.
There's also the slightly more relevant metrics like IPC which is much lower on Ryzen chips overall. Maybe their single-core speed is a little slower, but they make up for it with incredibly high-performance instruction optimization. 64-bit division on a Coffee Lake CPU is a 36-cycle instruction, with up to a hundred cycles of latency. The same instruction on a Zen3 CPU is no more than 17 cycles, with latency no lower than 12. That's a rather extreme example, but it definitely makes a difference.
People are getting pissed that public policy and messaging is changing WITHOUT new data.

In the past week:

- The CDC director acknowledged and downplayed the severity of omicron by stating the vast majority of hospitalized patients have multiple comorbidities. This has been true since the start of the pandemic, but is only being addressed now.

- CDC and several states are making the distinction between "hospitalized from" and "hospitalized with" COVID. This has also been a point of contention for the past 2 years. For some reason we're changing that now. Your guess is as good as mine, but I'd bet it has to do with the omicron spike making govt. middle manager KPI graphs look bad.
How can you simultaneously say that Covid will become endemic, and also that we need to try to control its mutation rate? Ongoing mutation is a fact of (viral) life.
Blaming employer-based healthcare on the stabilization act sounds suspicious to me.
Invasive Bradford (Callery) pear tree is banned in Pennsylvania
Stay away from people who don't take the pandemic seriously, and take every precaution you know you would take if this virus was any more serious. We all knew what to expect. Sure it sucks, but would you rather catch the virus?
Happens to me as well. Stress and caffeine = heart on a roller coaster. At that point I'll usually back down to 1 cup in the morning. But, alas, I eventually work my way back up to, ahem, never mind how many cups and start the cycle over.
I definitely agree with you here. If you aren't doing so hot and you have to raise at a low valuation with an extra $375k to "convert" at that low valuation, then you'll be hit with a ton of dilution.

Fortunately, I think this is balanced by the fact that it will give more runway to companies before they have to deal with that, so hopefully more companies can move towards the "middle of the pack" tier before being eaten. (And to be quite frank, if you have YC on your investor list, there are many investors that are happy to invest in you just because of that. You're likely already "middle of the pack" just by virtue of that.)
Do you folks have to perform these calculations every time someone in your family gets sick or injured?
> You are free to fork it, fix the corruption issue and uphold the social contract of your fork.

The freedom to fork (for any reason) is orthogonal to the question of whether the maintainer is being an asshole or not.

Of course, people are also free to be assholes (for any reason). But it shouldn't be controversial to say "don't be an asshole".
He did. He’s using a grid tie inverter which requires the grid to provide a synchronisation signal for the output AC waveform. No power, no grid signal, no output AC waveform.
rsc's post isn't (directly) about this colors package. It is marginally about npm and broadly about package managers.

rsc is stating: (paraphrasing) the current state of affairs in many package managers is not a good design. This is (yet another) reason why package managers should work differently then they often do by default.
I've gone through cycles with this. Mostly I am done arguing. I hate arguing about this. It's just more of the culture war shit that so many different media sources love pushing to keep people amped up.

I double vaxxed and boosted. Stopped wearing a mask for the most part, but with Omicron I started wearing a mask again because I just don't want this stupid virus. I'm healthy and would probably not have a symptomatic infection. But I still don't want this stupid virus, and I don't want to spread it.

I think for 2022 I am going to try to argue less, and focus more on my areas of personal expertise. I've done a lot of arguing and feel like I'm generally worse off for it.
As a side note, I want to thank dang for allowing these threads to stay up, even though they get a bit political and contentious at times.

This is the only place I have to talk about COVID issues with smart people that I respect.
Human civilization goes back further than the 18th century jfyi
Well yeah that’s the idea. Things like “never being contacted after hours” only work if everyone agrees to it. If there are a few people on the team who “defect” by getting work flexibility and start pinging people at night, the whole culture quickly reverts to “it’s ok to ping people at night”.

You’ll be free to choose non-union jobs, it’s just there will now be an option for a “business hours only” workplace where there’s none now.
This is basically like the famous "20% time" but way better
Also, the source points out he retired from the role in February 2020, which doesn't exactly help the COVID vaccine vs quack cure conclusions people highlighting the connection presumably want people to draw.
Hence the need for good managers to set expectations and manage timelines.
Okay, it's fair to call it impossible if you restrict the domain like that. But, per my other comment, this feels like a non-standard use of "impossible figure", as the conventional meaning is such that, just from the image, there is no reasonable figure that results in that image. That's not the case here.

> The countries that have locked down the hardest (eg Australia, Canada) have seen no improvement relative to those with no lockdowns (e.g. Florida, Texas).

This is a laughable assertion.

Florida has 650 deaths per 100k people. Australia has 9.4 deaths per 100k people.
People are now skipping routine cancer screenings, check ups, and altogether avoiding any health care out of fear of catching covid. Its not hard to find stories of people with heart attacks not going to the hospital! Kids are missing routine vaccinations, etc. Drug overdoses are up - more deaths in SF are from ODs than Covid last time I looked. Dementia patients and those in nursing homes truly took a nose dive by completely separating them from human contact (they deteriorate rapidly with no stimulation). I imagine lots of people stopped exercising and put on loads of weight.
It's not just the cooling, it's power usage in general, that's how Intel moved ahead with this generation... 12600K is using 224W compared with 5600X's 134W during the same test (SuperPi stress test where 12600K scored worse at 389s vs. 5600X's 380s).

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate that the competition is heating up again, that can only be good news for consumers. But sucking more power to deliver perf gains is totally the wrong direction for this.
Green tea will give you L-theanine and caffeine in a natural way.
Consistent messaging from the start in a situation where information and knowledge is very limited in the start = not learning.

The problem here is that we have a lot of internalization of changing your mind is bad in the political arena. "Flip flopping," etc. Inquiry is discouraged.

The article is actually much more interesting because it's about how views are changing differently for different groups even inside the same partisan grouping. It shows that conversation and messaging is an ongoing thing.

I've vaxxed and boosted and will continue to get boosted as often as is recommended. I follow the local regulations, which in NYC mainly involve masking up and showing a vax proof for indoor activities like dining, concerts, and riding the NYC subway. I'm not stopping my life though. I've travelled internationally in the past few months, both to see family and sight-see. Seems like not a bad compromise. The one thing I don't as much is masking up outdoors, which is more common now in NYC than it was a month ago. I'd say 70% of people are doing that in Lower Manhattan.
Is it required to take the $375k note? If so, definitely a bad deal for some, and disincentivizes taking on early angels at an attractive cap.
This wasn't AWS CDK, it was a package to fake data and a package with some ANSI escape sequence constants. The comparison doesn't make sense. The problem is that developers apparently can't even differentiate between when you should use a library and when you shouldn't; they just pull in the first result from an NPM search. You can probably trust AWS, which is good because CDK is complicated. You can't necessarily trust random NPM package authors, which is good because rewriting `colors` is not a Herculean task.
> It definitely is

I just told you that for me, it's not. Repeating your view isn't adding anything. Restating it doesn't make it so. I understood you the first time.

> My point of view is that if you don't care as default state, then you put work into actually caring, when you get to your limit you'll be able to very easily see that you cannot contribute any more hours today, because you're almost depleted how much you actually care. Thus avoid crossing that thin line that is burnout and all mental health issues that come with it.

I completely believe that's how the mental process works for you. That's not how it works for me. If I detach myself from the project enough to not let it affect my mental state then I do zero work on that project.
4 day work week is the new remote.
I can accept their extreme methods could potentially suppress outbreaks. But could anything really work this well? And shouldn't it have a breaking point - at some point you run into something like omicron that spreads so quickly it has to overwhelm your ability to track and trace and you can't make testing supplies fast enough or hire people to police it fast enough.

And if you're not being given good information, how does an overseas Chinese individual spot anything amiss? Their parent or grandparent dies in China. Well, that's not unusual in itself. It's only unusual if it is happening more frequently than it should, and if that information isn't being made available, how could they know?

COVID is rampant in the United States, yet it doesn't seem like my friends parents and grandparents are dying at any particularly worrying rate - and yet overall, they absolutely are. If the data weren't there, it would be hard to notice anything were happening at all. You could lie to me and make me think supply chain issues were caused by something else, that my occasionally crowded local hospital was seeing a bad flu season, etc.

That bouncing off effect might be related to sugar too. If you really want to see caffeine's effects you might "microdose" a quarter of a cup of filtered coffee or a half shot of espresso, without mixing it with anything but water.
All streets are roads, no? While not all roads are streets.
Zero-sugar, zero-caffeine sodas seem to be slowly rising in popularity recently. I'm hopeful that we'll start to see them more often as options in restaurants, because like you said, it's frustrating when I go to a restaurant and must choose between drinking massive amounts of sugar, or drinking caffeine. Usually, even though I'd like to order soda, I end up ordering water because I struggle to justify either stimulant to myself internally.
How do ideas spread if you don't tout them?
> Soon your government will present you a new digital wallet based on the same tech. Only with one difference compared to the original crypto currencies: they will have full control over your wallet. And your wallet will have smart contracts, so they can decide where you are allowed to spend you money on and on what conditions. Let that sink in for a while before you start criticizing the real decentralized crypto currencies.

This attitude is what really irks me about cryptobros. "You can't criticize crypto because [insert dystopian sci-fi novel scenario] might happen"
Also, for the cost of adding motors, would the money be better spent on buying more fixed solar panels instead?
Will a Diet Coke give you the same effect as a Coke? I'm curious how much of your bouncing is due to the caffeine versus the sugar and/or some synergism.
One thing that I think is missing is the compilation time. Those can vary widely depending on the languages. Other than that it's a nice repo, thanks for sharing it!
incorrect. during unpredictable situations it makes it MORE important to be consistent in communication.

consistent communication could have been: boosters are recommended, we'll open them to relevant age groups in the future.

though honestly they should have opened boosters to everyone in september and called it done. we knew then everything we needed to know. which are:

1. risks of the boosters.
2. average declines in protection.
You can't expect people en masse to selflessly lose money. If you want a greener planet, support nuclear.
Side question, I've been thinking about adding on above my garage. One side of the new roof would face S-SW (currently the roof of our house only faces east and west). How would I figure out the optimal angle to build the roof for my latitude so that solar panels would get the maximum exposure?
If you can build something with 500k and grow at VC-expected multiples without raising again, I'm sure that'd be a pretty positive conversation to go have with YC to determine the equity attached to that additional 375k!

I think the issue is going to be that YC isn't looking to fund lifestyle businesses, so getting that initial shot is going to be tough. It just doesn't seem to me like YC is looking for companies that wouldn't have that next equity round.

I've never gone through YC though, so don't necessarily take my word for it!
Most big installs have motors. The motors don't take much power to slowly move the panels through the day. The downside is the extra expense of the motors and setup.
Only in the slowest modes. It is possible to go faster than the 1ms poll rate, though it is back to interrupts:

> For low speed (1.5 Mbit/s) and full speed (12 Mbit/s) devices the shortest time for a transaction in one direction is 1 ms.[6] High speed (480 Mbit/s) uses transactions within each micro frame (125 µs)[7] where using 1-byte interrupt packet results in a minimal response time of 940 ns. 4-byte interrupt packet results in 984 ns.

You either do an orderly shutdown, or you get de-facto shutdown.

In the case of this high-school, they only needed ~10% of students / teachers to get COVID19 before chaos reigned supreme. Students are now skipping classes out of fear of their own safety, teachers are collecting students into auditoriums (because too many teachers are sick, not enough substitute teachers to watch the students 30-at-a-time anymore, gotta collect all the students together to more efficiently watch over them).

At this point, the high-school in this Reddit discussion should have just an orderly shutdown, rather than pretending everything is fine.
I have quit caffeine several times. I love the taste of coffee and tea, but I become dependent on caffeine very quickly, and have to keep upping the dose just to feel normal. Eventually I don’t feel human until half way through the day and there is no amount of caffeine that will give me energy.
The withdrawal headaches are too excruciating for me to bear so I found a way to effectively wean myself off of caffeine using caffeine pills. Once you figure out how much caffeine you need to feel ok, you know your actual dose and can simply take a little less each day. For me that means a week or two of feeling a little groggy, but avoiding the headaches. I’m not a morning person, so I’ll never feel perky in the morning but I at least feel human.
The government said, at first, that nobody needed to go out and buy masks, because they won't do any good. And then the government said you had to wear a mask or you couldn't enter into buildings.

Now, the reasoning for the former was that they were concerned about PPE supplies, but that doesn't change the fact they reversed themselves very shortly, and expected people to forget the earlier messaging.

The government didn't need to be an oracle with a perfect track record, but I don't think it's outrageous to suggest that they should have been honest. If you can't see how the pandemic was used for political purposes, I don't know what to say.
Most AC power distribution transformers are 95% or better. As of 2016 the US EPA mandated even greater efficiency of 97% or greater:

I am not assuming anything at all, people that attempt to inject affordability into the care debate are doing so for disingenuous reasons.

The question of affordability is different from the question of quality care, we can solve the affordability problem with out having to lower the over all standard of care which is what you are advocating for, the bringing down of the overall quality of care in an attempt to increase accessibility of care. Ironically putting that faith in the US Federal Government will only result in 1 of those happening.
My second shot made me feel more ill than I have any other time in the last half decade or so aside from a bout with dengue. It’s likely I’ve also had COVID within that stretch and it barely registered (had a slightly sore throat for a few days after confirmed exposure).

I’ve also had the flu shot most every year, even though I really have never been seriously ill from the flu, because it’s an easy preventative measure without side effects. If the booster for COVID regularly makes me more sick than the disease it protects against that’s definitely a burden, a rather large one. Just because it’s killed vulnerable people doesn’t mean the calculus for me or others with strong immune systems is the same.
You are forgetting that there really is not a 1% chance of dying of covid across all risk categories.

The numbers are very clear on this:

There are people who have a 1% or greater risk of dying if they catch it.

Most people do not fall into that category, not even close.

Let's start with the fact that the 1% IFR is calculated using a faulty denominator. Due to the high prevalence of asymptomatic infection, the denominator is far smaller than it should be.

I was the only one in my household to have a single symptom when I caught it in February. My wife and two children did not have any symptoms and would not have been tested if I had not gotten myself tested. Wow this is an anecdote, it is directionally aligned with seroprevalence surveys.

Omicron is even less symptomatic and therefore, we still have a denominator that is far too small.

To put it into perspective, school children at the elementary age are actually at higher risk of death from an influenza infection than they are from a covid one. Obviously this does not apply to children who are immunocompromised or have comorbidities. They are the only age group that has a higher death rate from the influenza than from covid. But it is still notable. We have been sending our kids to schools without masks for decades even in the midst of various influenza epidemics.

Over time populations in the US that are less sensitive to media reporting, especially working class people, have formed their own intuitive risk calculations based on their anecdotal experience. Your average taxi driver has a pretty good understanding of who is at high risk and who isn't. I experienced this in Vegas when a woman driving my taxi stated to me that the people she knew who had died were all old or "really really fat". Her words not mine lol.

The people who are under 50 years of age who round 1% down to zero are more accurate than you are in their assessment. I hope I don't sound rude when I state that but based on the numbers it is accurate.
