> The Author is arguing for replacing the chain with power wires, by generating power from pedaling and feeding it into the motor (with efficiency losses of 5%)

My understanding is that the efficiency loss is strictly limited to delivering electrical power back to mechanical power via motor instead of via the chain drive. The problem with this design is that it completely eliminates the ability to deliver mechanical energy directly. The rider pedaling charges the battery which then powers the motor. Going from mechanical energy to stored electrical energy is going to introduce a much greater loss in efficiency than a mere 5%. In a more standard e-bike model, when the rider pedals, my understanding is that they are delivering mechanical energy directly, bypassing the conversion to electrical energy. I may be wrong as I am not very familiar with e-bikes, but, if this is the case, the 5% figure seems highly misleading.
The study shows that humans are susceptible to gender and cultural stereotypes. Men want to be around the stereotypical male, women want to be around the stereotypical woman - but only in the culture that this study was taken in.

> Across three studies (N = 745) with U.S. participants

All this tells us is there's a trend in heterosexual friendships in the US. If they ran this study in multiple countries with different cultures they'd get different results.

> Indeed, a fruitful avenue for future research would be to examine friendship preferences across cultures.
Yes, I also took into account transcription cycles - it would take 1000+ transcriptions per mRNA strand to break even.

But yes, persistent damage from spikes is a non immunogenic theory. There are also theories of persistent infection and viral damage to various organs, as well as exhaustion of the immune system, etc..., and of course it could be a sum of any.
Neat idea but what I don't understand is why now? Everybody I know moved on from openstack years ago. Is there really demand for this and what for?

> Pursuing such an approach is highly revealing because if the technology actually worked, that approach would not be necessary.

This is, sadly, untrue. Enterprise reps do this because on the whole, it doesn't matter if you have the best technology - if the other guy is successful at the CxO level, the customer will go their way.
The thing is that in practice the vast majority ends up down, always, and I mean always. Maybe not completely rekd (people do have some sense of danger) but surely down. This is one of the (valid) arguments used by indexers, the vast majority of individual trading portfolios end up with negative returns. Also corroborated by many stories from successful traders, they usually blew up a few accounts before they figured out something that actually has an edge.

OTOH if you're a young zoomer it really doesn't matter if you blow up your (larger) lunch money.

For those that don't get how unwanted financial messages can be a problem, here's a thread from last year about blocking incoming transactions to UK bank accounts. https://www.reddit.com/r/UKPersonalFinance/comments/kkgrsj/c...

It's somewhat common in the UK for people to send each other a couple of pennies, along with a short message, via banking apps. Some banks will block senders on request. As banks have to perform KYC checks, it's also possible to report people for harassment to the police.

I'm not sure how unregulated cryptocoins can do that. I'm sure you can tell a wallet to ignore any transactions from a specific address - but there's no way to prevent those transactions actually being committed to the chain.
No one is "banning" anyone. When people discuss abuse, your best move is to listen, get informed, listen and get informed. "Critique" is literally the least useful response.

I've heard this claim made for many years now about the Bitcoin blockchain data blocks, but usually in the sort of whispered tones in quiet backwaters places on the internet that deal substantially in half-truths, and that which never happened but always is, and such.

As there are a lot of people who are quite opposed to Bitcoin/PoW/blockchain/etc, I assume if it was true, someone would have come up with some indisputable, solid evidence for it, and it would make the tech news rounds for quite some time (there are enough anti-Bitcoin writers and commenters that such a thing would never die, and would be brought up with some links to the evidence in literally every article written about Bitcoin).

As that's not happened, I remain inclined to treat it as rumors and "But if you use this OTP you can get the following out!" sort of trickery.
Look I wouldn't go as far back as Ribbentrop molotov or Gerhard Schroeder. Nor would i go as far back as inviting one million refugees in europe at a time the uk was voting in a referendum where immigration was a major concern, but i would go as far as into thinking that perhaps at a time when energy prices are skyrocketing in europe yet germany wants to ban nuclear, a time when ukraine is literally missing a chunk of its territory and russia wants more yet germany does nothing to step in while a high ranking german military commander sais we should show russian some respect…

I would dare say that german leadership is either dumb or playing into russias favour. Perhaps war reparations and a quieter Germany wouldn't be that bad? After all their cars pollute europe more than nuclear and are still in business. Just a thought.

Maybe the uk was right in leaving and perhaps a little bit of a restructuring of power in europe is overdue.

I have a feeling that a perfect algorithm should be able to solve all wordles in 4 guesses. (but I might be wrong)

The problem with a lot of approaches is they seem to locally optimise for each guess rather than optimise over all the guesses (if that makes sense?)

I get the feeling guessing the most frequent letters might not be the best approach, because does it cut down the number of possible words much?

My intuition tells me if you have the right first 3 guesses you should be able to cut the dataset down to 1 possible answer every time.

However I don't know how to program it.
For industrial equipment (such as a tractor), who is liable for injuries if the equipment is repaired or modified by a 3rd party and it goes to court later?

https://www.biren.com/blog/2020/september/defective-machiner...

In particular https://www.justia.com/trials-litigation/docs/caci/1200/1245...

> The [misuse/ [or] modification] was so highly extraordinary that it was not reasonably foreseeable to [name of defendant], and therefore should be considered as the sole cause of [name of plaintiff]’s harm.

So, if it was foreseeable that a 3rd party may modify some equipment in some way, the manufacturer must specifically warn the purchaser about "don't do that."

With software, this becomes a much more difficult challenge.

Additionally, https://www.justia.com/trials-litigation/docs/caci/1200/1244...

> [Name of defendant] claims that [he/she/nonbinary pronoun/it] is notresponsible for any harm to [name of plaintiff] based on a failure to warn because [name of plaintiff] is a sophisticated user of the [product]. To succeed on this defense, [name of defendant] must prove that, at the time of the injury, [name of plaintiff], because of [his/her/nonbinary pronoun]particular position, training, experience, knowledge, or skill, knew or should have known of the [product]’s risk, harm, or danger.

So with software, either the user is a sophisticated user and aware of the implications of installing their own patches on the system and what that could do (over fertilize a field because of an incorrect setting on the gps calibration)... or they aren't. If they aren't a sophisticated user of the system, then it should be locked down sufficiently to prevent those changes.

> “The sophisticated user defense concerns warnings. Sophisticated users ‘arecharged with knowing the particular product’s dangers.’ ‘The rationale supporting the defense is that “the failure to provide warnings about risks already known to a sophisticated purchaser usually is not a proximate cause of harm resulting from those risks suffered by the buyer’s employees or downstream purchasers.”

So are we expecting farmers to be software engineers too?

Walmart sells an ebike for $400. Theres definitely some corners cut to hit that price point, but it works perfectly fine and the battery locks into the frame which also houses the controller/wiring. It's definitely Wal-Mart quality, but it's less than even the price of a conversion kit with battery.

Edit* full disclosure: I owned one of these and returned it because I decided I wanted something a bit more high performance, but only because I lucked into a free Bosch battery pack.

> I’ve often found it easier to establish friendships with women, but (being straight) they get complicated. Either I develop feelings, or they do, or there’s a suspicion from someone’s parter about the real nature of our relationship. It’s just too problematic.

I find it pretty weird to suggest you can’t have an overtly platonic relationship with someone. I’m a straight male, tall, relatively attractive, and on the wealthier side of my social circles. I’m married.

It’s very easy to behave in such a way that it’s clear I have no romantic interest in other women. I have never once felt that a woman failed to understand this and behave in kind.
> It's mostly that they simply don't want to prosecute,

Correct

I don't think so. They have all the resources they need to enforce the law if they wanted to. If the spreadsheet had said "male" instead of "female" they would fly to Uranus to gather evidence if they needed to.
>You don't take "no" or "that'll never work" for an answer.

Wow, I think that's a very bad quality. It of course depends on the context and the person saying it, but generally speaking, when someone on my team looks into a potential approach and comes back saying it's not feasible, I will cross that one off and move to the next idea. Time is too short to not learn from other people's experience.

Yeah, I saw your reply earlier and tried it. For some reason it's not working that way.
I wanted to provide an example of what the content of the websites look like, which you'll rarely find on the front page. So the screenshots are of URLs that are actually indexed by my search index.

Dunno, maybe it's a confusing choice.
>I have many acquaintances, I’m not shy or socially awkward. E.g. When I was running a business I would often go to business networking events alone, start conversations with people, establish a rapport and spend hours chatting, but all those interactions have essentially left me with one good friend.

I have a similar experience when attending more professional environments. However, I think it's easier to create relationships marked more by friendly intent — rather than professional advantages — when working with people outside of your industry, especially in non-profit contexts. In these contexts, as there are less/no immediate professional advantages, you are likely staying in touch due to liking their personality.

>I think the female “model” of friendships outlined in the abstract just makes more sense to me. “emotional support, intimacy, and useful social information” is what I want from a friendship. I suspect there are other men in this position and that the dominant male “model” of friendship that we have (and which is outlined in this article) is more cultural than biological. But I have no proof.

I have no problems having a friendly but tactful relationship with other men who are competitive, but I would idly prefer a close friendship with a guy similar to the friendships I experienced in elementary/middle/high school due to spending lots of time with the same people. I really missed that kind of relationship when I was in university.

However, I've shifted expectations to only expect a "best friend"-like relationship (where I can let my guard down and act like myself) with a romantic partner. I just don't think most people in my bubble are willing to set aside the time and energy to nurture and maintain close friendships (e.g. meeting up with someone just to hang out or grab dinner) in other contexts.

Titles are often relative to an orgs size. At a 4 person company I was a director in my twenties. At a 10,000 person company I was a staff engineer in my 30's. At a 150,000 person company I was a senior software engineer (i think? i don't think I ever knew my title, the titles of the people I worked with, or my managers title). I've had a "worse" title at each job while each job was a significant step up from the previous.
The top voted comment there suggests that "young people have moved to streaming" but unless I read it wrong, the report's 'total consumption' figures do include streaming. In their metric ~3k streams == one album sale (based on artist revenue).

A more correct observation could be that old people have moved to streaming and are now responsible for a much larger share?
Yup - I had the same "your guy is a problem, he's anti-innovation." The brilliant thing was that they rang the CEO of the business unit who was at that time +4 on me and had never met me. He was flummoxed and invited me for lunch to find out how I'd made such a big impression! Did me loads of good!
I use soap but on occasions where it's not on hand and I take a shower the results seem exactly the same. I'd miss shampoo more, but if you triple the time your head is under the water you get some percentage of the results. Seems like water gives you 70% of the benefits or more. I do have a dry skin type, though.

I feel like you might survive without toothpaste if you never eat sugar. I have a harder time imagining doing without that.

As a point of curiosity, what do you mean by optimal?

To me, I can see at least two (potentially different) cost functions that a Wordle strategy can aim to minimise. Firstly, you can try to minimise the expected number of guesses, and secondly you can try to minimise the expected number of guesses conditional on never losing the game. In principle you could optimise for the first but not the second by allowing a small list of hard words to take > 6 guesses on average.

Part of my point is the lack of an absolute definition of optimal: strategies are only optimal up to the specified coat function.

Legal. Illegal. Don't know. You should ask a lawyer.

I can tell that you are not comfortable with this. You suspect it's illegal and might still be uncomfortable even if it's not. Were I in your shoes, I would be looking for an exit strategy right quick.

(For full disclosure, I should mention I'm looking for an exit from my current job for entirely different reasons).

Do not swallow your own sense of right and wrong. Do not go along to get along. You will regret that deeply later on. Find an environment that doesn't make you worry that you might be participating in something illegal, or unethical, or immoral.
Or, especially in first guess or so, shrink the set of letters used by the remaining compatible words, which is subtly different right?
It's reasonable to worry about confounding factors, but one should hypothesize what they are as part of the criticism.
This [1] solves it in 3.4212 average guesses 100% of the time and claims optimality, which is 99% of the difficulty it seems. For the limited 2671-word set of possible words, I think the question is now settled (for the whole 12k-word set, I don't think anyone tried anything).

I started learning Go and Rust simultaneously. With Go I was up and running in a week, had real non-trivial projects done in a few months. With Rust it took many months to get started and im still not very productive.

Admittingly Rust solves a harder problem. But I think a huge part of this is also Go language and libraries being very well designed, which Rust could learn a few things from.

Anyway, why did I mention all that? Because Rust makes me feel "well maybe im too stupid to get it" all the time, and now I have realised that a large portion of that is due to ba design choices made by the Rust team and not my own stupidity.
