I don't think your quote from the book conflicts with Dr. Hossenfelder's criticisms at all. The quote vaguely says "Q = 1 is a scientific goal", then describes Qplasma (and calls it Q): "Q is the ratio of fusion power out to heating power in" (that sounds like Qplasma to me.)

The source in the book is basically saying "Q[plasma] needs to be twenty or thirty times higher than it is to get more _power_ out than you put in", but there's already a term for that: Qtotal. Hossenfelder's claim was that the book never mentions Qtotal and continues the misleading technique of using Qplasma as if it's an indicator of power production (and saying it needs to be 20-30x), rather than using a much more clear term Qtotal to describe "total" energy out vs energy in.

The response video you linked is even worse: They "correct" Dr. Hossenfelder by showing papers that spout Qplasma numbers as just "Q" and talk about how ITER achieves a Q=10. But that's not in contradiction at all with Dr. Hossenfelder; her qualm is how misleading it is to talk about "Q > 1" as if it's producing useful energy when you actually mean "Qplasma > 1" (which does not produce useful energy.)

The response video then goes on to talk about how useful Qplasma is, but that doesn't matter to Dr. Hossenfelder's point, which is that it is unethical to go around touting "We're going to get 10x the energy out that we put in" when you're just referring to Qplasma=10. That's all her video said, and the response is attacking a straw man.
That doesn’t make this OK. Furthermore, if a book was published through Amazon’s own publishing program they already know who is the owner and who is not and could actually solve this fast and efficiently.

Also, infringement is not a victimless crime and while humans can more easily discount its affect on large corporations (in your example with Pokémon), this really affects individual authors that try to make a living off of their talent.

Probably because that number is fairly stable over time. Beds exist for that load. A new load is a problem, because staffed hospital beds take time to create. It takes years to make a new nurse or doctor, for instance.
I mean, both? I think the vast majority of people I knew (UK, in my 20s) knew that the main reason we were locked down was to minimize the risk of the NHS being so overrun it couldn't perform basic healthcare.

Of course personally we all just wanted to not be locked down any more but I don't actually think that many of us were staying in for our own sakes - we knew the long term risk to our own health if we were to catch it was fairly low. Very biased sample, of course.
Whatever you feelings may be, HN brings a breath of fresh air. Compared to other social media, its quite rare for commentary to devolve into nonsense.
Unless you have to, as in work or an exam, focus in something else for a while. Or better, just don´t focus in anything at all. Do whatever you please at the moment. Take a mental holiday. Recharge your batteries. What´s the worst that can happen?
Robo-advisory was a dead business 5+ years ago. The game quickly had to expand to add services on top of the core robo offering. Now the big guys like Vanguard, Fidelity, Schwab all have their own robo-flavors. Its become table stakes. In that context, this deal makes sense.

New variants are now emerging every 30 days. Good luck with that plan. Why is the concept that life finds a way so hard to accept? We're getting our asses kicked by this thing.

But I would agree with you if the variants would just stop creating themselves. But it doesn't seem like any immunity really lasts. So this leads to repeatedly infecting yourself with variants as they emerge (1 in 6 chance of a bad outcome of long covid or worse), become a bit of a test rat for the latest vaccine, or some combination therein.

I'm hoping we eventually get a vaccine that transcends the evolutionary range of this thing. And then we could do exactly what you're suggesting. But that's a science project and you never know how those will go.

The main concern I have is will we be a nation crippled with PTSD and long-term healthcare concerns when this is finally over with?
Oh yah that guy ... To tell you the truth I moved on to dating Citi, Wells Fargo at the same time though 2018-2019 and managed to work-in Chase 3-days-week over Christmas. Frankly, all of us are better off without Libra whatever that guy's name was.

I seem to experience troubles like that with any kind of Bluetooth devices. E.g., sometimes they don't connect or disconnect or lag. At this point, I am suspicious of the entire Bluetooth technology. The same is with WiFi actually: it does work well most of the time but sometimes it does not (for whatever reasons, bugs? changes in environment?).
Do you plan on adding capability to do more DDL and DML?
You've presented an unfalsifiable story. There's no way to prove it wrong, that's just more evidence of the conspiracy.
I don't think this is a bad argument at all. It wouldn't kill anyone to include a brief stderr worthy message along with the exit. Especially when, and correct me if I'm wrong, code 126 is pretty vague here. "Command not executable" doesn't seem even correct to me.
> The seller knows the "real" price…

The seller knows the customary price, and the lowest price they would be willing to accept. The "real" price is whatever the buyer and seller agree on for a particular trade. Price discovery is an ongoing process which isn't finished just because you've determined an average price for past trades. The buyer isn't losing out unless there's actual fraud involved, even if they could have potentially negotiated a better price. And really, we're mostly talking about trades between individuals and small businesses (who may also be individuals)—why should all the surplus value represented by the difference between the highest and lowest prices acceptable to both parties go to the buyer, and not the seller?
I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic, but although the vaccine does greatly reduce probability of death, it's still very clear the substantially larger elderly population of Florida has a larger effect on their death rate than the 3.7% lower vaccination rate.
> I'd say the answer to that should be determined by the hospital capacity. If a region has sufficient hospital capacity that it would not be overwhelmed by the increase in COVID cases among the unvaccinated go ahead and lift most restrictions.

Having anyone's freedoms dependent on available hospital capacity is a terrible way to run a society. Note that these freedoms were debated and won in an era where medicine was terrible.
Fair enough.

With as important as live calls have been for work, it was worth it to get a wired adapter to avoid the occasional latency spikes and to limit the packet round trip time. It is legitimately noticeable to me when I'm on wifi and not wired (I keep both active for simplicity's sake).

Anker offers a nice one that was only about $40, and provides both gigabit ethernet (1000baseT (or an incredible fake thereof)) and some USB-A connections as well.
It's not usually intended as a disaster recovery strategy; it's more often intended so that the event stream can be ingested in future by completely new consumers.

Retention policies and compaction exist where you don't actually want to keep the data, but the capability is one of the distinguishing features.

You can make an event log look like a database or a queue or a cache - but if you do that you should definitely consider whether you are using the right tool for the job.

That's a bold statement considering the anti-vaccine climate today. The value in doctors isn't necessarily what they've learned but instead what trends they've seen personally and local to your area.

I do agree human financial advisors are mainly a tool for comfort. I've got one and most of our conversations instigated by him are relationship-building and not necessarily aggessive-fund-strategy type talk.
Eradication is not the goal. Making sure hospitals aren't overwhelmed with COVID patients is the goal. Catching COVID is potentially dangerous and often times results in long recovery window. Vaccination is harmless and works. The thread will never subside; this is a new virus we will have to live with for the rest of our lives - especially considering we can't seem to get everyone to do the right thing, even with government mandates.
There are other customers than US Military (eg foreign allied militaries), but it is true that they don’t spend nearly as much as Pentagon does.
Extend that to AirPods Pro. My right ear cup crashes periodically - then I can only hear out of the left side until the watchdog timer engages and nukes the left cup too. I frequently have to reset it by holding down the buttons for 10 seconds in order to get it to connect to anything. It frequently disconnects and refuses to reconnect if I take off my mask out from under it. It stops detecting my head occasionally. An iOS bug probably, but I can't change the Mic mode anymore when on calls - it just shows me them menu options but I can't tap any of them. And the ear cups started to smell, lol, but there's no clear way to actually clean them due to their, well, magnets. I bike to work and have to dry them when I arrive because sweat builds up under the cups. They're also just too big to fit into anything practical, so I end up just carrying them around in one hand.

All in all, they're fine, but they most certainly do not just work for me, and they're not a $600 product IMO.
There's been a great app for the Mac like this for years and years:

In 2010, smartphones were just taking off, every new generation offered significant improvement. 2010 smartphones are terrible by today's standards: small storage, underpowered, no 4G, bad camera, etc...

2015 smartphones are a different story. Things have stabilized, and a good 2015 smartphone should be perfectly usable today, a bit sluggish, but usable. And interestingly, that's when they stopped having user replaceable batteries. More generally, the market shifted from real obsolescence to planned obsolescence.
I used OneNote in school and really liked it but no native Linux support is a deal breaker. The web client is far too slow and frustrating to use on a daily basis.

Mask mandates aren't worthless, but I agree they'd be a lot better if they required better masks. I believe that's already the case in other countries and I wouldn't be surprised if it eventually comes to the US.

You can get similar type of modular RISC-V + Linux systems on AliExpress if you want to do something closer to what OP is doing. Lichee is one of them who seem to have a crazy number of modules (I've not tested any of them - they could well be total junk), including also ARM boards and FPGA boards.
Apple has always gone to lengths to prevent their products from interacting outside their walled garden. The last straw for me (more than a decade ago) was when a firmware update closed a gap I was using to load music onto my ipod without going through the hateful ITunes synchronization process.
"They didn't entirely succeed in their aims" seems like really terrible reasoning to me, and also has really bad long term consequences. If I'm a massive market leader like Intel then, I now have all the incentives in the world to use disgusting underhanded tactics to bury my competition. Worst case scenario, they get severely weakened like AMD was for years and I face no legal consequences. Best case scenario, I kill my only competitor and face a paltry $1B fine.

If they are in fact using the reasoning you think they are, then they are even bigger idiots than I had previously thought.

Pfizer is going to be making 5.7 billion dollars in revenue from Paxlovid at the bare minimum in the next 6 months, in the US. That's around as much revenue as 300 million vaccine doses. We are already past the tipping point, as of around 20 days ago.
Quoting the last paragraph of the guidelines, which has a bunch of supporting hyperlinks:

> Please don't post comments saying that HN is turning into Reddit. It's a semi-noob illusion, as old as the hills.

I dislike that they’re an SEO company, but I don’t object to self-serving posts, as long as they’re also curious and interesting to me. Seeing a comprehensive list of how Google rewrites page titles is interesting to me, because I’m fascinated with headline writing.

I’m sorry that you find self-serving content and calls-to-action to be problematic, but I would warn you to expect more of them on HN over time (as neither are violations of the site guidelines). There’s no need to claim it’s going to turn us into Worse Than Reddit. It’s been this way for HN’s entire life, or at least the chunk I’ve been present for. HN’s just the same as it always was. I respect your outrage but you chose an invalid expression of it.
Junk food has consumption tax

Also, assuming their obesity is a life style choice instead of type 1 diabetes, I suspect many obese people would be willing to take a easy vaccine if it exists considering how big the lose-weight-quick industry is
Cigarette use kills 480000 people every year in the US alone. 300 billion dollars estimated to be spent per year with treatment of smoking-related illness.

I don't want even to look at the numbers of the more critical epidemic on the US: obesity and metabolic diseases.

By arguing that "the unvaxxed" are a burden and that they deserve discrimination, you are opening the gates for those arguing that smokers should be forced to stop smoking, or that obese people need to be forced to stricter diets.
Netflix on 1080P is rather atrocious, especially movies and shows with a lot of darker content in the images, the packing gets very rough. Also, on Android it will always look very pixelated on maxi quality.
I've been using Zim for at least 10 years for notes, todo's, etc.

Recently I updated my setup to use syncthing for syncing between my desktop, laptop, and my Android phone. On my phone I use Markor, an open source app that supports the Zim markup format (along with Markdown and some others). I've been pretty happy with this setup.
I work with C#, most (all?) Nugget packages I download are open source, which isn't the case of a lot of WP plugins that are obfuscated.

They're also centrally managed by Microsoft, so if there was a problem with one package they could kick it out of the Nugget repo.

But in the end you're right, it's mostly a matter of trust and finger crossed.

Amazon seems to be the store of choice for "non-sanctioned" Android things. It was the official store for Blackberry when they put their Android emulator on their phones too.
I don't think pushing users to Bluetooth is a ploy to get more users to use Bluetooth. Toggling Bluetooth off only means the user-land applications can't use Bluetooth, the system might still use it for location-based services, if those are enabled. The "Find My" network would probably do a similar thing of piggybacking on such a feature.
I was under the impression that Google had already worked out resizable windows in Android to allow for more flexible form factors and the Android layer on ChromeOS, so that might have been mostly a freebie.
Lots of apps aren't pure JVM apps, and many apps with native components don't ship x86_64 versions of native libraries.
There is a more serious issue with this article, which is the attitude to architecture. The building designed naively as a box with flat facades, as you mention. But there is a subtext in the "software engineer who likes traditional urbanism" vibe, which is this: a lack of faith in the architectural profession.

Like so many tech people who profess to prefer traditional architecture and urbanism, this guy hasn't studied architecture or trained in it professionally, and by his own account is "not a good artist". No matter how many disclaimers he includes, actions speak louder than words, and his action is "I am going to draw a building and do an acceptable job—more acceptable to me that a drawing by any of those clueless professional architects who don't understand tradition and beauty". It is flat-out arrogant.

A lot of denizens of HN seem to be conservative with respect to architecture, so I'm not going to try to overturn that consensus. But if you want good architecture, it needs to be made by experts. This should be unarguable. Classical architecture is difficult or impossible to pull off convincingly these days. It was a complicated tradition and it has largely been lost. Software engineers, untrained in art or architecture, doodling with SketchUp, are not going to reverse this.
Part 3.1.1 is about the parser, which uses lex and yacc. I actually used it as a source to convince a professor to let us use lex and yacc to build our lexer and parser for a SQL engine for a DB implementation class I took. His expectations were a bit unrealistic for what a bunch of seniors would be able to accomplish in three weeks in C (other similar level of difficulty classes and job searching weigh a real burden), and he initially said no to me asking if we could use lex and yacc. Postgres's source made a convincing enough argument. Gave me a reason to learn lex and yacc, as well as making a much easier to modify parser. I wrote the parser for my group, and we were the only group that finished the parser in time, and at all.

Just an anecdote with some fond memories that were made possible by Postgres and its internals. Postgres has a place in my heart for that, and being a damn fine DB of course!
> Also, focusing on protocol only makes one miss the rest of Gemini, which is the ecosystem and people who are having a great time using it. Sometimes, it feels to me like someone is at a party ranting about the music not being good enough while there is a smiling crowd dancing and having fun.

This is the biggest point, imo. We don't all have to like the same things, we don't have to all use the same tools, we don't have to belong to the same communities. There's room on the web for all of us.

Gemini appeals to me as someone who appreciates well designed constraints. The fact that HTTP+HTML can accomplish the same things is not only missing the point but is actively against the point.
What if someone is willing to pay 2% and not pay 30%? Do you think most people who are willing to pay more than 0% are willing to pay both numbers?

Or are you punishing OP simply because they didn't know there was 2% involved? If so you don't really see zero difference, you just are exacting some punishment.
Unpopular observation: if an ebola-deadly, vaccine-effective variant comes along, it would hopefully wipe out enough of those who are too dumb to take care of themselves or impetuously refuse vaccines. Modern life and medicine is too safe to select for common sense or intelligence.

There are vendor A2DP codecs that support duplex audio (faststream; aptx-ll optionally) but very few devices implement them. Software support is also fairly bad, although on Linux Pipewire does support them.

Also iirc CSR has a vendor codec (Auristream) in SCO transport that supposedly provides higher quality. Not sure how much better it is, or what software supports it.

So certainly better duplex quality is achievable. But there may be some licensing, hardware, or software support constraints that have prevented them from becoming more common.
