The author seems to have mostly stumbled upon the old “time is money” adage.

People today have much more money (or purchasing power) than pre industrial people. They have the same amount of time.

There’s a big consequence to your behaviors whether you have more time, or more money. When you have more time, you backpack, take long buses and sleep in hostels. When you have more money than time you fly, use guided tours to do things quickly etc (all within your preferences of course)

The author then goes through the problem with what another comment described as “completionist attitude”. That’s not necessarily a good way to live your life I reckon.

I have learned to minimize pinky use on QWERTY, but you're right about thumb keys: I could really use control, shift, and alt modifiers right below the space bar. And you're right about typing courses, but.. I never took one, and I think that's true of most people. Perhaps more education would suffice to avoid most typist RSI.

Hey Kwantam,

When you suspect sockpuppet abuse on HN, I've found it highly effective to email dang directly (hn@ycombinator.com) rather than engaging further with the suspected bad actor (though I admire and commend your diligence and steadfastness ;).
Sometimes I wonder, I posted about zombocom like a day before that (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30006335) on HN, and suddenly there is this on the front page?

Was it me? Did I give someone an idea to post this? I have seen NOTHING about zombocom for years

Why not move your personal blog to a static site generator?
This idea really resonates with me. I started out life pretty poor, and am fortunate enough now to be able to purchase most anything I want. What I no longer have however, is time. I found myself purchasing things I want to have time for, but in all reality don't. Thinking about the second cost before hitting that buy button may be a good way for me to stop cluttering my life up with stuff I don't need, and the associated stress of knowing it's sitting there waiting to eat up time I don't have.
Me too, but you just didn't get the joke.

> Can someone steelman this judges reasoning here for me? I just can’t see it. This seems like insanity to me in at at will state.

I assume the judge believes that legislature's intent when making Wisconsin an at-will state was that this state of affairs would never protect individual employees and always be used to protect the interests of employers. I imagine he's right about that, too, although it's a disgusting thought and the employees will eventually prevail.

Breaking up without being married is even more work, this is a shortsighted outlook. A partition sale for jointly owned real estate can be more expensive and time consuming than a divorce. And what happens if your non spouse partner dies is a bigger problem

The goal in wordle or hangman is to guess the word within a set number of guesses.

> minimize average number of guesses

Yes, and it’s def much better than binary search, but the algorithm to arrive at the solution is optimal in that way — minimize the depth of the tree given a set of words/letters, with each branch being “correct letter position”, “correct letter”, or eliminate letter. No need to use abstract coloring concepts either.

No real need for “ML” or anything.

If someone had the time, they can prebuilt all the decision trees and pick the optimal words to as the starting word.

Make a hangman solver was actually a take home interview question I had back in like 2009. Code it up, it’s a lot easier than it sounds.

The key words are "under pure gravity loading" which means if there was no wind, earthquakes or occupants. These forces are more significant the higher the building. I wouldn't be surprised if including wind would halve the limit.

I also think they mean something that could be practically recognised as a building. You can build much higher if you are not restricted by a traditional proportions of a building (for example a pyramid or dome).

As to the building sinking -- it is not a difficult problem to solve. The reason some buildings face problem is that this is just a cost issue -- they guessed they need X amount of effort to provide stable base for the building and they guessed wrong. In practice there exists very simple algorithm to provide stable base -- drill to the rock face and use the underlying rock rather than possibly unstable ground. The reason this is not always used is because it can be very costly.
Fwiw I hate drag and drop on left click, I wish it was on right click (or even better required a key press at the same time).

Here's some graphs of temperature changes during sears (also bearing in mind that the steak keeps increasing in temperature for a couple minutes after you pull it from the oven).

https://genuineideas.com/Assets/imageassets/Reverse-Sear.jpg

Taking it up to 115 also gives you some wiggle room if you want a really intense sear, or if you want to baste (I usually throw a handful of thyme in the butter while I sear).
You can't do that, I'm afraid. Too many uncontrolled variables still. What if placebo rates change seasonally? Also, you cannot properly double blind the test - the experimenters all know about the prior study, and know which cohort they are treating.

To be fair, your attitude is quite common in cash-strapped university departments - but it leads to bad science.
Interesting read. I'd argue that there is also a third price -- the price of getting rid of it.

While throwing something in a garbage may be "cheap", there are many hidden costs, especially for the society as a whole.

I have definitely started to consider "price of disposal" when purchasing new tings.
I think you need both, really. If your entire game is "I've got connections" then you've got no game. Your entire game can readily fall apart if people decide to stop backing you.

If you have knowledge/skills but no connections, you've still got no game.

I think you need some of both to really get anywhere.

So this kind of ends up being good advice for people who err in a particular direction and could stand to beef up the part they are missing.
Thiomersal/Thimerosal leaves the bloodstream more quickly - but that is a relative term. Like you said, I've not seen not seen solid evidence that its leaving the body - but even then the best guesstimates are still half a year in the body instead of a full year or more like methylmercury.

It can also cross into the brain if my memory serves me correctly. Thimerosal may not be deadly, but is certainty to be avoided if possible.

Terrific article. It’s funny, but from the beginning I knew he was going to end at concluding we overregulate to the detriment of us all.

I think a good rule of thumb is to see if someone in theoretical worse conditions for some outcome is doing better on that outcome.

So it isn’t natural conditions that limit San Fransican skyscrapers because Tokyo faces those conditions too.

But this is a cool article exploring all this and the economic cost of doing it this way.
These are private hospitals, and the draft doesn't apply to women. This is a pretty bad comparison.
In Larry Niven's "Known Space" books [0], there was a planet where telepathy was common. Natural selection kept it in check so a hunter would only be able to nudge a prey into walking into an ambush. Then an alien exploratory vessel lands on the planet, aliens that have no resistance to telepathy are instantly controlled and you get an intergalactic slaver empire from a neolithic culture in one generation.

So red queen effect [1]. Maybe telepathy evolves in tandem with resistance to telepathy.

What is the difference between "Engineering Information" and "Computer and Engineering Information" groups?
I think he's misunderstanding the point of the poke test (myth #7). It's not intended to precisely gauge doneness regardless of cut, it's intended to help absolute beginners tell the difference between blue-rare, well-done, and somewhere in the middle. If you're buying a meat thermometer that starts at $83USD and your job is writing for a cooking website, you don't need to compare your steak to the fleshy bits of your hand to tell if it's done, but it's helpful if you just started cooking for yourself.

The real question should be, why do you refuse to even just acknowledge basic facts right from the official EUAs? They are for prevention, not for lessening symptoms, and they simply are not preventing COVID-19 with Omicron.
I didn't say it's the contract; I said it's a contract.
You probably want something that gets you started with some hands-on projects, actually building stuff and seeing results. I'd recommend something like the following, and ignore anybody who says "Start with The Art of Electronics" or similar. Not that The Art of Electronics isn't something you might want to get around to eventually. But it's good to get your hands dirty and start building stuff, blinking LED's, etc., early on IMO.

A critique of conspiracy theories is not a denial that conspiracies exist. It just means that the concept of a "conspiracy theory" as basis of trying to understand reality is flawed, because it relies on no or bad evidence, and very often seeks to simplify a very complex reality in a way that doesn't do that reality justice.

But I am not sure if we both mean the same things when we use the word "conspiracy". It's not a secret, for example. that cocolate has a slave labor problem. Planned obsolescence is not a secret (but it's more complex than just someone trying to screw you over). I don't think I understand the conspiracy aspect of the rest of your examples, save for the obvious JFK conspiracy theories.

Somebody defined the expression "gaffe" as commonly used in Washington, as the case that a politician told the truth when expected to do otherwise. (I think that the expression has fallen out of fashion--this was 40 years ago.) Shoenbach's case seems to fit.
I mostly believe you because of another video I’ve seen but lost the link to (and the nonfree software the cars run makes them exceptionally deprecating assets as Tesla remotely decreases max acceleration when the cars are resold), I guess my point was that the video dividuum shared didn’t really show claims that hyperbolic, and if I didn’t already dislike Tesla neither of your comments would convince me.
Well, even if you are totally oblivious to the cost to the environment (we all are at times) - there are real, immediate costs to getting read of many items.

Ask anyone how many hours they took to sell a car, house, or their art work and you can see 'ending' costs add up quickly - other items often have disposal costs like appliances and tires.
Sounds like we need a study where the experimenter doesn’t know if they believe it or not. Maybe by giving them amnesia.
Jesus Christ. I don't necessarily disagree with you but maybe you should tone it down a little pal. If you truly believe you're on the right side of this argument then argue with rationality and civility. This behavior does nothing to further rational discussion.

I am from Wildlife Studios (a startup game company) and we have been constructing an ML Platform. Kedro has an important role on that, being one of the core tools.

In my opinion, the main advantages of Kedro are:

* standardize the development of ML pipelines

* easy to extend with plugins

* easy to share pipelines components between different projects

* data catalog (also easy to create custom datasets)

* kedro-viz

Today, we have a cookiecutter template with a custom Kedro pipeline that is used by new projects. It has the most common steps of ML pipelines developed here in Wildlife. Therefore, speeding up the development of new models. Moreover, it has the Kedro MLFlow plugin for automatic experiment tracking. Finally, we also have a catalog of pipeline steps that can be easily added to a Kedro project.
Assuming your premise is true, is a strongly held belief a prerequisite to conduct a scientific inquiry? Or couldn't it just be any hypothesis, however crazy? It seems to me you are imposing a constraint that doesn't need to be there, and parent is arguing it doesn't deserve to be there, either.
I understand that, and fully share his view that "tiny bits of connective tissue-rich meat, fat, and gristle stuck to the bone to be the tastiest part of the steak".

I can also easily admit that it's possible that the "bone-in steak has more flavor" argument might actually just be a consequence of the above: people leaving the bone on may mistake the flavors of said meat and fat for flavor imparted by the bone, rather than being innate.

However, I'm trying to weigh the one source here calling this a myth against plenty of reputable Chefs who subscribe to this myth - not just with steak, but also with poultry. It's quite possible that these Chefs are fooling themselves (they frequently do; I've seen enough contradictions), but it nevertheless is an extraordinary claim.

This is 100% possible without a server. Your repo can be your database if you run it statically with something like Hugo (a single binary with no dependencies). Store your content in your own repo in Markdown files (or something similar, like MDX) and host it on Netlify, Vercel, AWS, etc.

If your site has 10K posts and you don’t want to deal with long build times, use Next.js with ISR (make some high traffic pages static, others dynamic (server side rendered)).

As the founder of Forestry.io and Tina.io, I’m biased about a content editing UI, but there are many options if you want a GUI on top of your content files.

By optimizing for initial purchase price, I often find that I don't take care of my stuff because it was never that good to begin with. When I had a car I loved, I took way better care of it than other vehicles simply because I found it to be a joy to drive. Alas, good care doesn't protect against hit & run accidents. We had a good eight years together. IMO, people often don't bother to care for their belongings because their belongings just aren't worthwhile or deprecate too rapidly: you bought that PC last week? Throw it out, it's an antique.
It might behoove you to think of these as exercises in "measurement" rather than "experiment"
I certainly don't feel smarter when using it. Happier and more creative though. A little goes a long way.

I use /e/. It's a pretty good experience, a bit above LineageOS for microG.

The major downsides are a bit of a weird launcher, camera app (OpenCamera ... but worse?) and them occasionally pushing their weird services (some account and the absolutely terrible search engine). Those are all easily fixed, though. What stays is a pretty solid version of Android with almost everything working (the best experience I've had with microG), which is a pretty big achievement without Google Services (... and with Android).

You may want to install additional location (NLP) providers, my experience with the pre-installed ones was not very good. I also have occasional issues related to the camera (probably specific to my device).

A fun side-fact is that they use Bromite (great version of Chrome) as the default browser without crediting the author, just calling it "Browser". As a techie I don't like this obfuscation, but for non-techies it must be great.
Are you referring to American/Australian wagyu as "wagyu" ? Did you get it at a restaurant or make it yourself?

I find that American/Australian wagyu is not like Japanese wagyu, but it is still extremely good - it's just a really really good 'regular' steak. It's going to be beefier than a Japanese wagyu with less marbling.

I'd be really surprised to hear that you can't tell the difference between a 'regular' steak and Japanese A5 though. They're really, really different - the marbling is extreme by comparison.
That’s probably still less total effort than what’s embodied in the device as part of its making. Mining and refining bauxite or iron ore, mining and refining fossil fuels, doing all the processing and transporting to get it to you in good condition is likely to dominate the cost to throw it into a regionally compacted bundle to trundle it off across half a continent (but not the world’s largest ocean) for disposal.

Correct but irrelevant. Operation of the plant resulted in more emissions than were captured. The fact that hydrogen was also produced is a net neutral in that equation.

If you want to describe this in terms of a hydrogen produced with a particular net emissions footprint, that's fine. It's dirty hydrogen that's been made less less dirty.
If you buy the 15lb Wagyu ribeye it'll be 40/lb. I do not recommend buying wagyu by the ounce.
I learned this the hard way when trying to create iron nanoparticles.
I found a great deal on a fair amount of iron pentacarbonyl while I was working at LANL. It was a few dollars to buy. Later I learned that it would cost thousands of dollars to dispose of!
The most important thing is that it was consistent. Once you learned about top-level and context menus, you could find basically everything in any app. Toolbars, hotkeys etc would provide shortcuts, but you didn't have to bother with any of that except for the few apps you used a lot. Similarly e.g. lists worked the same everywhere - same scrolling behavior, same ways to select multiple items etc.

These days, something as trivial as finding the settings dialog in the app can be a challenge, especially on mobile.
I don't like PHP or MySQL, but WP is a pretty decent piece of software.
I think most of those costs for a house, car, or piece or art are only present because of an attempt to recover some of the first cost. If you just want to be rid of those things, the third cost can be quite low.
