I’ve personally never encountered such a poorly designed induction hob. Induction hob require proper electronic control systems to operate, it would be weird to design such a system to operate with a wide PWM, it’s costs nothing for the system to operate at 1Hz or higher.

In ceramic hobs, they usually don’t have proper power control systems. They normally rely on a set of thermal switches to disconnect the main heating element when the ceramic element gets hot enough. The entire control system is analog and relies physical phenomena like wax expansion etc. Phenomena that is well know to be unresponsive, but very cheap.
You are quite right, normal and “pretty” criminals will just use whatever and not care about encryption. Not only because they won’t necessarily be educated about it, but it will have no impact on their ability to operate.

The police and intelligences agencies aren’t intercepting the communications of normal and petty criminals. It’s organised crime and terrorism that matters, they will obviously continue to use it anyway.
Telescope cameras typically only use CMOS sensors, why aren't image intensifiers used there?

I don't now a bank here that supports anything other than their own app. They don't support Linux and refuse to give me a dedicated TAN generator for whatever reason, so my only choice is using the Android app. That forced me to finally leave BB10 OS and buy a new smartphone.

As a result I rarely carry my phone around. I really don't like interacting with the UI, it feels like navigating a website with tons of ad popups and after a decade of using smartphones I still hate virtual keyboards.

> Peak BBC is making a story about the BBC headline news on the BBC news website.

You missed a step. The story has to be about "TV Licencing", with the Beeb saying something to the effect of 'we asked TV Licensing to comment'.

The point being that "TV Licensing' is a brand of the BBC. So in effect 'we asked ourselves'.
I agree corporate journalism is a pathetic shell of its former self that can only race bait to get clicks. But I do think there is some good journalism going on in the independent scene. For example, Glenn Greenwald still puts out good investigative journalism, and there is a lot of good content on substack as well. I think this is the future, it just makes sense. In the past, journalists had to group into big organizations as you needed a lot of infrastructure to get the message out - printing presses, delivery workers, etc. Now with the internet all you really need is a single person.
> bottom-of-the-barrel Indian devs with a handful of Western project managers

It's really disappointing to see such casual racism on HN.

Surely you could think of a better adjective than "bottom-of-the-barrel" to describe humans (Indians) that are intentionally hired at the lowest possible wages, by Western managers to maximize profits for a Western owned & led company?
Kudos to you! In that time did you ever feel that you were being unfairly compared to certain unicorn startups as you were becoming profitable?

How does the reach of FAANG and their financial clout make it difficult when you're hiring devs?

Unless you need something that is new in Windows 11 I don't really see any point in upgrading while Windows 10 is still supported and so getting the same security updates.

There are too many downgrades in terms of UX in Windows 11 to upgrade just because it is new.

While I can't comment on the specific case or tech, and there are better examples than the one mentioned here, the criticism of companies trying to insert themselves into the building blocks of standards as a rent seeking strategy, especiallly when it comes to signing things, must absolutely be annoying.

I've been drawn into discussions about alternative security techs like white box cryptography, physically unique functions (PUFs), a variety of novel payments and data privacy technologies, and perhaps ironically, some very-uniquely sensible applications of blockchain based protocols compared to those other things.

I think we could put a lot of the hustles to bed if from a product and investment perspective we used the razor that betting you can outsmart your customers or market and seize some rent collecting thread in it by becoming "the standard" is a poor product strategy. Having your technology mandated isn't a product, since a standard isn't anything someone wants, it's what they must use. This makes it an anti-product.

I have seen it with certain archetype (not referencing parties here) who think they have companies and products because they have a proof of some assertion, pedigree, and credentials, and therefore you must invest with or buy from them, because they are right, and the alternative is to not be aligned to their beliefs, which raises the question of where specifically your PhD in the field is from and whether you are even qualified to decline their offer, which is to imply - you're stupid, and you should give them your money thank them for not exposing your ignorance. "Fund this or risk humiliation," must work in institutions, but it's not a product, which means it's not going to get traction, and without that user traction, it's not going to register as a candidate for a standards track.

In some very ancient words, "nothing forced is beautiful." Not referencing the parties to the original discussion specifically, but I wanted to say there is a sympathetic case to be made for the tension between standards bodies and other chancers using all kinds of institutional shenanigans to have a go at them, and perhaps this underlying dynamic is the source of the frustration that bubbles up and was expressed in the post.
+1. Come over to Estonia, author. About 50% of our territory is forest, at least statistically. Many complain (rightly so) about too intensive logging, but there is nonetheless plenty of forest left, even if much of it is planted by humans several decades ago. City dwellers are finding their ways back to the countryside, figuring out solutions to live there all year. Farmers are still alive, many of them doing well... etc. There's lots of happy people living outside bigger cities and towns. I doubt this could be much different in most other countries.

If anything, I'd say nature is finding its way back to city and town centers. Or is this an exaggeration, wishful thinking? Let's think about "everyone's nature conservation" and other similar memes. Recreational areas in towns seem to be greener and way better thought out in my country than they were some 20 years ago, etc.

It's a different, more exhausted planet than some decades ago, but current 20+ generation is clearly acting towards preserving and reincarnating nature as much as they can.

Why "like to be omitted"? It's actually part of the allure.

The slogan was "Live fast, die young, and leave a good looking corpse".

Not "Eat kale, be productive, use a task management program, live to 100".
I was thinking the other day that we need an object based terminal, like the Lisp listener in Genera. Each item printed would have context, be clickable (or otherwise inspectable), and be able to output more than just text: images, diagrams, graphs, etc.

I have been learning Powershell and given its object based nature, a PowerTerm that extended PowerShell in this way seems like an obvious extension.

Of course, my next thought is, why do you not build it yourself? LOL
It's different (IMHO better) on Mac, even though it looks superficially similar.

On Mac, there is conceptually a two-level hierarchy of apps and windows. Every app maintains its own stack of windows. You can switch between apps with a single click (or keyboard command) and then switch between windows in that app's window stack if you want to bring a different one to the top. So a single click och keypress lets you switch between any pair of windows that are topmost in their respective apps. (There is also a keyboard shortcut to switch windows within an app.)

On Windows, you can't switch to apps (only to windows) but the windows are grouped by app into a hierarchical menu, so every time you switch window from the taskbar it takes two clicks and you are forced to hunt through a list of thumbnails.
Controlling funding for education is extremely tempting for state and national politicians. It's better handled at a local level because this way you give parents a chance at choosing the type of education students receive

The drawback is the inequality in funding

But just to give you an example of what can happen when education is funded at a state level: majority of voters could elect an oppressive regime that targets minorities, and impose a certain type of education that is detrimental to them (i.e. not in their mother tongue)
> Regular GAC 21H2 will last you only until June 13, 2023.

I got that date from the retirement date for Windows 10 Home and Pro at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/products/windows-...

So maybe 21H2 will be supported until Jun 13, 2023 but there will be newer feature updates for Windows 10 which will be supported until October 14th, 2025.

I don't know where you are located but here in Switzerland I would definitely want the positive PCR test as proof. Although it may no longer be needed as it looks like this will be over soon the confirmation of an infection is treated here almost like a vaccination. So you will get a certificate extension etc. The isolation time here has been reduced to 5 days with minimum 2 days symptom free.
Honestly on some roads, I'd argue that's a feature.

It's ridiculous when there is a wide, flat, straight asphalt road surface with a speed limit of 25mph. Build it out of cobblestones, and 25mph suddenly feels a lot faster!

This also means that success in business is very much correlated if one’s parents are also entrepreneurs. Now it can be that these people are more well off but it could be also that ones who have parents running the business learn first hand what actually matters. I believe it is combination of two.

And things what actually matters is so unsexy that nobody wants to write about it.

Roads are initially built with the promise of future returns in mind. These estimates of future returns tend to be affected by developers, who are acting to encourage the approval of development projects.

Rebuilding projects are contemplated in the shadow of actual returns, which are harder to lie about.
Interesting that while the odds of the vaccine protecting against infection are near all-time lows (mid 70s), vaccine protection against hospitalization is near all-time highs (mid-90s).

Also interesting that this data treats 14-days+ after last shot as fully vaccinated, so presumably two-shot and three-shot people are both treated as “fully vaccinated”.

> Fully-vaccinated people may have received additional or booster doses, which are not specifically accounted for in this analysis.

Sticking with Windows95 because you like the UI is a bad move. Ditto XP, 7, 8.

10 is still maintained, so it's a different case for now. But W10 users should be developing a migration plan -- either to 11 or away from Windows.
Correct. That's absolutely right. I'm not 100% sure how my comment wasn't clear, but I will apologize to everyone if I confused them. Anyway, Plausible updated their analytics to use Bunny yesterday, which is a win for their customers. We wrote more about this solution back in 2021 (https://usefathom.com/blog/eu-isolation) after a lot of work. We spent a lot of time looking into possible options, the law, and are pleased that our innovation is going to help other companies.
Personally I think cloth masks are worthless for anything but the most casual exposure to the virus, and then for it to maintain any reasonable protective effect, you would need to remove and dispose of the mask as those luckily trapped virus particles can dislodge and infect. Continuing to wear a cloth mask that has accumulated virus particles in it just turns a chance casual exposure into a long term one.

So one, you would need to know you were casually exposed (most folks don’t)
And two, you would need to have a pretty good supply of masks carried with you at all times to replenish on every exposure.
I tried Windows 11 on my Home based laptop about a month after release, bumped into a bunch of user interface glitches, and immediately reverted to Windows 10. The glitches were not show-stopping, but not confidence inspiring either. Given that I only boot into Windows for work, I have put the upgrade on indefinite hold.

My advice: if you aren't doing anything critical, it's probably fine to upgrade sooner rather than later. It sounds like there are a few benefits to Windows 11. If you are doing anything critical, give it a year for the bugs to be ironed out.
The article starts with a statistic (as opposed to anecdote):

> These findings demonstrate that such cases and hospitalizations have occurred in New York State, but at levels substantially lower than among unvaccinated people

Of course, one could argue that New York State doesn't make a large scale statistic, but it's still far from being anecdata.
> Former MSFTy, don’t bother wasting your time giving feedback. Nobody cares, those that cared left.

What you're describing does not comport with my experience there.

Personally, I ensured that every issue filed on GitHub was triaged (read, replied if necessary, de-duped if necessary, labeled appropriately, assigned a severity/priority) and that all feedback items from the Visual Studio feedback system that applied to my product area was either (a) de-duped to GitHub and given the same treatment, or (b) dealt with in that system because it might have had some info that could constitute private data being leaked (sometimes I'd create a representative issue on GitHub and de-dupe to that one if appropriate).

What I'm describing is actually routine for most PMs and engineers in the group I was in, and that's still the case today. I won't claim that it's perfect or that everyone who files an issue will have their bugs dealt with immediately, but I've had several community members give positive feedback about the whole thing and talk about how it's like night and day compared to previous eras at the company.

> Even for software where ‘zero bugs’ was important they’d just delete a whole bunch of bugs and see if any bounce (come back). Eventually people get sick of refilling so they get to zero but bounce by exhausting the very people eying time help them.

This is ridiculous and I sincerely hope it's not happening outside of small groups (who should stop right now). I never saw this happen. We'd deprecate some older things and then close associated bugs as not applicable, but declaring bankruptcy on a bunch of legit bugs would be unheard of in the group I worked with. If you were caught doing that you'd be in some deep shit, since it's a violation of the trust your community places in you to be a responsible caretaker of the software they rely on.

> Enough social media pressure may end up risking a line item in a PMs yearly goals.

Social media pressure is a thing, sadly, but also not that much of a thing. Only in rare cases did something exploding on twitter or whatever cause action on our end. I'm also curious where in Microsoft a single PM's line items are treated with that much relative importance. This whole notion of "PMs dictate and devs make it happen" is bizarre to me because figuring out what to do next was always a collaboration and careful evaluation of tradeoffs across both disciplines. Again, it wasn't perfect and there's much I wish was different, but fundamentally it was sound and constructive. Any of my line items as a PM wouldn't somehow get re-prioritized just because someone yelled about it on social media.

Anyways, I'm sorry you had a bad time with what seems like it may have been a bad group. If what you're saying is true, I hope that changes for the group you were with.
Would one of these make a decent random source if you could find them for cheap?

Hmm. He was comparing the Bayesian models to golems as well, not just frequentist. It was an analogy to all statistical models.

Second in the lectures he said that he uses frequentist techniques all the time and that it's often worth looking at it from each perspective.

I interpreted it as his problem is not with the methods themselves, but with how they are commonly used in science. To me this made a lot of sense.
I worked for a bit for chess.com. Your assumption about "bottom-of-the-barrel" Indian devs is heartless and also incorrect. Be better please.
It's not the main problem, but one problem with Hospital IT is doctors making IT decisions. I hear from others there's a similar problem with IT around lawyers.
Yeah, one big problem I have with the woke movement is that they seem to advocate for policies that contradict common sense. And then they back it up by pointing to these extreme fringe examples. And then if you question their results, they tend to just get really angry and insulting, like the comment you replied to.
That true, because they use a different model (directly supported by people via subscriptions/donations).

This model can produce good journalism in some cases (when the people have taste and the journalist doesn't try to optimize his way to placating larger masses) but can also produce bad journalism (say, subscriptions are what sustain all kinds of crap content creators via things like Patreon to Twitch, and hell, OnlyFans).

Queens are notable because they had immense power... and knew the score with gender bias and had the means to change minute details of the subjects' lives. However, they rarely changed cultural norms WRT gender. I'm thinking mainly of Cleopatra (and Nefertiti, even though she never held the highest title AFAICT). It may be because there are just bigger problems for leaders to solve.
Yeah, it turns out we live in a society after all.
I do not see how you can replace the benefits of network effects of growing up in and around wealthy and knowledgeable people and their families. It is human nature to trust people more in your own network or close to your own network than outside of it.

I want to point out that the strategy of trying to get Omicron for future natural immunity against other strains, while probably one that will work based on what we know about viral competition, is wishful thinking and not based on scientific fact (show me a study and I’ll change my mind.)
