I mean why not? Hard radiation tends to destroy whatever it hits on a molecular/atomic level. If you have a biological shield which is constantly refreshing itself, you can possibly have a much lighter assembly. Mycelium has also been used to purify water. It might be possible to integrate shielding with water storage/buffer and recycling.

It'll probably require layering different types of material to convert higher energy radiation (like cosmic rays) to more manageable spectra.
In other words, advertising is socially-acceptable corporate-sponsored brainwashing.
I think there was a peak in hobby photography after the introduction of consumer grade DSLR cameras, which in my opinion is slowly fading away. The bulkiness of having a dedicated camera to take pictures, stopped making sense to me. For special photography needs I can rent or borrow a friends camera like my parents used to do in the SLR days.

Like most other things in life we are progressively choosing convenience over features and photography just reached it's limit to add new and useful features.
Isn’t this how levels.fyi works?
You didn’t give any reasons about adoption of Vala. You said it’s hard to hire Rust programmers, and then just “Remember Vala anyone?” without actually saying anything more about Vala.
So price fixing?
Yeah, I think it really depends on the state of your cabinets. The bare bones induction option is something like

https://www.homedepot.com/p/Empava-36-in-Built-In-Electric-S...?

But you also need a 220+V and 40A circuit installed. How expensive this will be is 100% dependent on where your breaker box is in relation to your kitchen. Moreover, this option only works if your kitchen is already configured for a cooktop, as opposed to a full range. Most American kitchens are still configured for ranges, so to install something like this you'd also need to retrofit your cabinets. Now prices are starting to add up.

The minimum induction range is about $1000, so I don't think you're going to get away with spending less than $1500 except in a very exceptional case.

All that being said, yes, it can be done for much less than what OP paid in most cases, but I wouldn't necessarily count on the quality of the barebones induction range (at least based on my experience with portable induction cooktops -- they are often shit with small heating coils that produce intense hotspotting).
this is the whole point of Ethereum and smart contracts.
But then the organizers of this couldn't release it on Twitter 6 months from now for street cred, and have all the personal data to boot.

A cynical take, for sure, but I can't think of any other reason why anyone would do this over something like you mentioned.
What's the tech advancement/invention that pushed mirrorless cameras past DSLR?
Whatever the parties (owners, managers, workers) involved collectively agree is fair. Instead of the boss earning five orders of magnitude more than the average employee, why not four? But as it stands today, workers don't even get the chance to ask that question. Any hint of organizing is crushed ruthlessly. And if you argue that Musk/Bezos/etc is essential and the company wouldn't exist without him, well, the same applies to the workers in aggregate. That's why owners are paranoid about collective action.
new bugs all the time too. in iOS 13 i found a bug where getting data from a store by key would ignore whatever store you pass it, so it would return data from every store that matched the key.
Yep, I have a $50 one that I use for boiling maple sap outdoors in the spring, but also indoors whenever it's useful to be able to set up a cook surface somewhere other than the kitchen. It doesn't have the super-precise control of the Breville, but it's still a great tool.
Apple has been rapidly addressing shortcomings in WebKit and significantly expanding its team over the last year (at least). They’re clearly investing, so they clearly care in that sense. It’s also obvious that that rapid pace and onboarding could produce defects. But I don’t think it’s accurate at all to say they don’t care about the web.
DARE and similar anti-drug propaganda lied through their teeth about the real consequences of using drugs. The war on drugs has been lost completely, but they continue to persecute low-level drug offenders when the distribution channels remain completely unaffected. The government (and by extension government-funded research) has proven itself unable to be trusted in this area.

Eventually... But we have to remember that things moved in waves.

2006/2007 was when the foreclosures started happening. Interest rates started going up in that timeframe [0], which lines up with the idea that folks couldn't refinance their ARMs into something they could keep paying on; first due to the higher interest rate, and second because the higher interest rate cause their house values to plummet. As these defaults piled up, in late 2007 and early 2008, the banks who later folded realized that their portfolios were not really salvageable.

Agreed. I like phones for photography, the image quality and the optimizations, features are great, but they have shitty ergonomics compared to a real camera. The thing with the phone is that it's always on me and that's what matters in the end.

I used many cameras, film and digital from compacts to one of the best 6x7 medium format rangefinder. Just pulled the trigger on a Leica DG 15 mm for micro four thirds, which will probably be my main lens from now on.
I think you have a point there, but it could sound less condescending. It is really putting off. I personally don't think it leads to anything constrictive, only makes people feel worse about themselves.
this was demonstrated in the case of tiktok. Essentially, every other player tried to emulate them, and then facebook lobbied USA and it's minions (like india) to mount pressure on tiktok for being "chinese spy app".
I would imagine all purchases to be a low dispute risk, as the merchant can simply offer refunds to all no questions asked. After all the marginal cost of goods sold for an app is probably effectively 0.

That being said, a $1 purchase through stripe likely has an effective fee higher than 30%, so this would only make sense for larger purchases.
I think Apple does not hold much sway over lawmakers here in the Netherlands. US tech companies are not very popular in general, and politicians are not corrupt for the most part. Many laws originate in Brussels.

Incompetence/cluelessness and lack of resources around tech is the bigger problem here.

We would probably better off not relying on politicians to use what technology wins, but instead tax carbon emissions. And I mean tax it properly at real cost of the externality. Not some fig leaf $1/gallon.
From the reviews I've read, it sounds like contrast focusing is damn fast these days. A mirrorless system won't beat a DSLR under all conditions, but under most conditions, at the same price point.

Ego rents are very much a part of modern economic theory. As are any range of cognitive biases (see behavioral economics), institutional frictions, spatial constraints, and on and on. It's a wide tent. Some say too wide.
Aren't you leaving out partial refreshes here? Several e-ink tablets have achieved near-instant feedback for writing and typing. Full refresh times don't matter near as much for text processing, so I think you are overdramatizing.

Still, general purpose computing is indeed questionable. But why wouldn't it be possible to manufacture and sell such a device at < $1000? 13.3'' displays are at $370 [1], and the remaining specs are inexpensive [2] (given there is no ssd included). Solely depends on ones profit margin, it seems.

By the way, I appreciate your steady fight against malicious patent usage claims of e-ink corp by many users on HN. No idea if you are right, but it is admirable that you rightfully keep insisting on proof as there seems to be none.

Anyhow, seems like they think it is the concentration of melanin in the fungi. The melanin has been sequenced and it is the same type found in human skin. Maybe we will see this adaptation in space fairing humans... Wonder if current black astronauts are less effected by radiation.

EDIT: Probably something that will seem so obvious in hindsight.
It would seem I’m not alone in thinking that many web features are too implicit. “Dialog fatigue” or “ok-click syndrome” are real problems, but for many features I think the correct behavior is probably not a silent grant. Anything that consumes the user’s resources after navigating away from the page should probably require direct user consent in some form or another.
What??? The existence of a law against any specific or general act is necessary for taking legal action. Your unnecessarily crude example is a violation of an existing law. Box checked. It's not a violation of the Sherman Act (Clayton Act, FTC Act), so let's stop talking about that example, thanks.

The question in the air in these cases is whether Deere, Apple, etc. are violations of specific anti-trust laws -- the language of those law is intentionally open-ended, and there isn't a ton of case-law. Thus, these cases have a high chance of setting precedent.

Now, it seems that what you're suggesting is that we should be able to punish companies, people, etc for being "bad" just because we know it's "bad." This sort of "justice" is literally arbitrary, and leads to incredible injustices. The closest remedies we have as a people, if this behavior is found to not violate existing anti-trust laws, is to persuade Congress to pass new laws (good luck), pass a constitutional amendment (nope), or to wage a class-action suit (here's your gift certificate for a can of beans).
I understand you but bat, exa, etc.. have a huge downside. I have to change many platforms and systems at work and I can't be bothered to install all those new utilities in every new system.

cat, ls, etc.. just work, bat has to be installed, and I have a pretty high threshold for a utility to be so vital for me that I absolutely have to install it in every Unix box I work.
I'm not a Windows guy at all, but is it possible to enumerate Alternate Data Streams? I looked at NTFS a long time ago, and I remember thinking it was strange that no way to find Alternate Data Streams existed, but I haven't looked since. I know that Microsoft at least occasionally adds system calls to Windows, so maybe this functionality exists now.

It's difficult to gain competency in algorithmic whiteboarding questions without being smart and at least half decent at coding.

And without learning what amounts to a secondary career skill in the art of doing a specific song and dance in front of a room of often ill-prepared and apathetic strangers. Who often grossly overestimate their ability to curate and conduct these sessions.

BTW "song and dance" is not meant pejoratively but refers specifically to the "art" of: talking to a room full of randoms while you are allegedly doing original thinking and coding; also, pretending that the problem is novel to you, even making fake pauses and saying "hmm" now and then to make it seem so[1] (when, per the company's instructions, you prepared assiduously for the interview, with the precise goal in mind of anticipating as many of these problems as possible); dealing with their less than helpful interruptions and basically pedantic suggestions; etc.

Which is what the whiteboard process seems to optimize for best.

[1] There are forums, mentioned in other instances of this perennial thread, where people trade suggestions in precisely this extremely valuable (by whiteboard performance art standards) skill.
> The Spaniards didn't go deep into the Amazon. It was possible to hide from them in the jungle, which is thousands of miles deep.

Diseases spread quickly among populations. By the time the spanish showed up, the incas were already in a crisis in part due to european diseases, which were brought there by trade.

There absolutely weren't big amazonian civilizations by the early 20th century, and there hadn't been any for a long time by that point.
Get Ready for More Volcanic Eruptions as the Planet Warms (2017)
the title is a bit clickbaty, it should be written as: where to use margins when building web components.
you are just saying that you have to place margin in the container of the component not inside it. that's it!

Anyways, I think the answer is "it depends" and there's no silver bullet when it comes to micro CSS details.

CSS is always controversial when it comes to how structure it and I don't think this type conversations are useful or add anything to front end. it's just a waste of time as the end result only matters.

we can argue for days to both sides on where to place margins and we will never find the "perfect" way.

I am a big believer front end developers will move to low code tools for CSS such as https://intab.io to style their CSS in the near future and focus more on the end result rather than waste time arguing on this micro details. take a way, focus on the end result rather than these trivial things!
> When a group is disproportionately excluded from the education, economic and other systems of society due to, for example, racism or sexism, they tend to have disproportionately worse economic outcomes

Well, it depends. A lot of real-world identity politics amounts to malicious, overt marginalization of "market-dominant" or "model" minorities who, despite their marginalized status, have better educational and economic outcomes than the relevant majority group.

This is the story of, e.g. Asians in the U.S. but also of recent African immigrants from subcultures like the Igbo, Ashanti and Yoruba with a focus on education and cultural development, who get marginalized in Black communities throughout the West for supposedly "acting white" or, more diplomatically stated, "pursuing respectability politics".
Ah yes, that might work too, thanks for the reminder!
I agree. DSLR manufacturers never really took phone camera seriously. This hit me when my SO decided to buy a new IPhone over a Sony alpha for her YT channel.
> I don't lend much credence to this guy anyway, considering that he thought history ended in 1992

I'm not sure why people jump on this so much - it very well could have ended if the US had better leadership & strategy... If the US had Marshal plan equivalent for the former USSR & a realist China strategy, things would have been different. But sure Huntington's book is better.
I started putting together a parts list on sparkfun but many of the authors' recommended components were listed as out of stock with no known return date. I tried to do similar at adafruit but some components would have to be substituted. I don't know enough about electrical engineering and component picking to make the right substitution choice here, and wasn't prepared to commit too much free time to trial and error. My guess is people who do know what to substitute and how to work around any necessary changes here are already too advanced to be an audience for this book.

Seems like bad luck on the timing for the release of this book that components would just be unavailable, or maybe its just bad luck with the worldwide chip shortage.

If a separate manifest of usable parts appears I'd likely dig into this title.

I know this is a common refrain, but if you can build and run a successful sports organization at the university level you can potentially help bring in tens of millions of dollars to the school. It's very competitive, it's hard (in the sense that there's no playbook to do it the way you can grind leet code for a few months and walk into any junior or mid-level FAANG job), and like most people you're being paid less than the money you're bringing in.
it's more like a CSS reset file than a framework. in that case I don't see adding 4kb is necessary.
I'm more a fan from styling everything from scratch rather than using any CSS framework.

we just need better tooling to write better CSS faster not necessarily including prewritten CSS.

I deeply believe this is where CSS going and this why I'm building https://intab.io to push towards that direction myself.
The last paragraph is what I'm trying to advance in discussions here. You put it much better though.
Ask HN: Best Practices for Creating a Golden Record or Single Source of Truth?
Hey HN.

I'm facing this challenge at my job where I receive user's data from N sources and need to create a single source of truth (a table with single entities for each user).

I'm looking for best practices, I don't even know how to start it.

When I look for that on the web I find many random "tutorials" where it ends up trying to sell you a tool for that purpose.
If anyone could point me in a good direction/book/tutorial on that matter (Golden Record, SSOT, MDM, etc.) I would really appreciate it.

Ps: I use GCP (BigQuery SQL) and Python.

Thanks!
Could you explain ego rent? Google didn't give me an answer (it sucks these days tbh).
I would be happy with just knowing this, not so much what each person makes, but:

title or level and min salary, median salary, and max salary for the roles in the company.

Furthermore, each employee within a company should know what the salary bands are for their titles/roles. This should be common knowledge.

I know and am honest with myself and my manager of my skills. If I know what min and max and median is on my team I can negotiate appropriately with how/where I fit in the team productivity-wise. I am not going to ask for the top end of my team for my title if I know I am not producing. Likewise do you want to lose talent to a competitor because they're making the bottom of the range but producing at the middle or near the top?

Alternatively, what if they simply learned something new which caused them to change their belief in something? It's better to focus on what caused their mind to be changed (it may or may not be bunk) versus focusing on the fact that their mind changed at all (which can certainly be a good thing).
My understanding is that FTP/FTPS is analogous to HTTP/HTTPS but I left FTP for ssh long ago and never looked back.
Safari is hell nowadays, bad UX, not compliant with web standards - not just whatever API Google comes up this year, but basic CSS that's common and works in every other browser.

At my last web dev gig, we had to go and get Apple hardware because our visual tests kept failing on Safari. They need to get their shit together or let people port good browser engines.
I took a LISP class in graduate school in the late 1980s, and dialed up to their VAX on a 300 baud modem from my commodore 64. Ah 40 character lines crawling across the TV/monitor. It felt powerful!
It’s clear that Safari is not a top prio at Apple, even though it’s probably the most important app on their operating systems. Contrast with Google that needs Chrome to exert their control over the web.
I admit that after reading, the "useless vs useful" framing comes off a bit like a false or maybe just unnecessary dichotomy. Maybe there's more to the idea than what was presented though.

It reminded me of the film _About A Boy_ which tackles a really similar set of themes and also avoids this "be useful" trap by getting at something more like the "subjective value of heroism" or in other words the perceived value of helpful interpersonal connection--to the subject. In any case the theme is IMO naturally attractive to humans and is a key part of cultural narratives. The Uncle Ben story from Spider-Man--it's great to be a hero but what are the real dilemmas there, _and_ what do we make of them. Etc.

Heading in this direction naturally confounds the idea of social boundaries a bit, which IMO is a really good conversation to be having these days, since boundary-setting, having shown so much therapeutic value, is a crucial concept to reconcile with a more boundary-opening approach.

Not to criticize too harshly, but if the only tool we are considering is this useful/useless filter, the outcomes might be unnecessarily not-so-great, for both others and ourselves.
an LNB (the thing that goes in the focus of a parabolic antena) is really cheap and easy to power

IMO it is because so many people have a kind of sexual fetish of technophilia.
They literally get off on new technology. It doesn't matter if it doesn't solve anything. It just needs to feel new and as if progress is being made. As long as it feels new and like progress the technophile will be happy to reinvent the wheel.

Even the word technophile has positive connotations as opposed to something deviant in our society. We don't even have a word for a deviant technophile , deviant over obsession with nonsense and "the next big thing".
