I tried to explicitly state that I believe that your mental experiences are real and worthy of attention and care.

> I should say, it makes a huge difference to my mental state, even if the change in oxygen is relatively small.

This is the key point. The change in airflow and oxygen is extremely small. None of that means your mental state does not change when wearing a mask, but it is probably useful to understand that this is not due to a physiological process involving less oxygen/air.

[ EDIT: one possible answer is change in the CO2 conditions and/or thermal conditions: e.g. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8450908/ ]

Nice work. The closest tool I wrote for www.convertcsv.io is CSV Query Tool.
The other way to read that part of the memo is that the exercise of exposing an application on the public Internet is a forcing function that will require agencies to build application security skills necessary whether or not they use VPNs. Note that the memo demands agencies find a single FISMA-Moderate service to expose.

The many versions thing does seem like a problem just in terms of size on disk but perhaps a one solution to this would be storing the libs as a series of git-style deltas starting from a root version which are then 'resolved' on the fly.

I feel like the lockfile etc situation is pretty solvable just by making the relevant tools aware of the new standard. I.e. just a different implementation of an npm-style interface.

On the existing browser cache point, I guess the difference here would be that this special cache would never be cleared, and also being a standard would probably mean better reuse across apps. It's true though that otherwise it's not too far away from everyone just agreeing on a standard CDN or something, just that maybe making it an actual web standard as part of the script tag itself would make this more likely. In fact, I guess you could even just implement it like this under the hood!

Why would it need encryption? The only convincing argument would be stuff like as insertions by ISPs and so on but that's extremely uncommon. Additionally everyone and their mother seems to be a CA these days...
Perhaps instead I might be following Covid guidelines for the following reasons: so I don't pass the infection onto those who are indeed vulnerable; so I don't overtax an already overtaxed healthcare system and healthcare workers. Part of the ineffable human spirit, IMHO, is altruism: which in this case can manifest as taking on a set of mild day to day inconveniences in order to help others be happier and safer. I do believe altruism is a (not exclusively) human characteristic, which means that part of 'joie de vive', alongside wine, piano playing, etc., is knowing one is doing something for others.

Honestly, I don't think it's as extreme as "if coronavirus were ten times more fatal" that would lead us to naturally take on mitigations. Instead, it would be if the death rate were evenly spread across age groups. Then, the motivation for avoiding some piano playing would be the immediate cost to self or close friends, rather than the abstract cost to some other group.

All that said I am quite sympathetic to the motivation behind your argument, but I believe you and GP are ignoring some motivations people might have for following or being 'bureaucratic automatons'.

The rest of my post you didn’t quote included the specific difference I was talking about that I note you don’t address.
I respectfully disagree. This article make large generalizations with little data. Borderline fear mongering

> Almost every day, we hear of a different policy plan to reduce energy production. We learn of new mandates, new taxes, more cancelled pipelines, more cancelled permits, and more penalties. What we don’t hear about is where the replacement energy comes from.

Solar, wind and more recently battery capacity is growing at an incredible rate. Even just this week there have been announcements for massive battery expansion in Texas and in California

This is actually really great.

I'd love the option for a hiring manager to show the time for each portion of the process as well in that sidebar UI.

That would demystify the process greatly.

I don't mind hearing no's, I just hate feeling in limbo on the candidate side.
It seems like none of the other parties are defending Ukraine's sovereignty, and one is violating it (Russia). None of them seem willing to keep their defense commitments.
Yep - it’s paid at a reasonable rate. And we’re v flexible to making it work alongside other commitments.

We hire them if we can afford them, but as a small company that not always the case. And sometimes there’s only 1 person from a round of recruiting, and other times it’s 3 or 4.

"When there is no visual input as is common in many flight situations, we rely more heavily on our vestibular sense for this information. However, in flight and in space, our vestibular system, _which is designed to work on the ground in a 1g environment_, often provides us with erroneous or disorienting information."

We have a system to somewhat understand and orient ourselves in 3d obviously, but it has quirks because evolution tuned it to work best on the ground + assuming 1G of gravity as "down".

Orienting in 3d is not intuitive for us. We can do it but we need a _lot_ of help to do it safely.
Yeah, a thing that I wish Tailscale could do is hand off an attestation of some sort that says a TCP connection is being used by user X who is authorized by rule Y. Maybe "magic TLS client certs" is a thing coming on the horizon.
Flying has gotten more expensive, but not that much more expensive if you’re really motivated. Kit airplanes can be fairly cheap, $30k for a kitfox, and often can be maintained by the owner because they’re amateur built.

The issue is the same as Lindbergh’s day though. Amateur built airplanes are not safe.
> Home users will really want to think in terms of the "raw capacity" imo.

Everyone would be better off thinking in terms of the raw capacity. "Compressed capacity" is nothing but a marketing gimmick. Even in enterprise use cases the compression ratios will vary, and the drive's transparent compression is unlikely to offer the most savings. If your data is at all compressible you should compress the backup yourself before sending it to the drive.
Right. Exactly like that.
To be fair, given the 2014 events, all the parties signed with disappearing ink. Russia invaded, but the US, France and UK failed their obligation too.
I know exactly what you are talking about. After following Ultraworking Lights [1] for a couple of months, everything started feeling mechanical for me. So, I've stopped doing it and instead started doing anything I just feel like doing each day. Which comes with its own set of problems.

It likely wouldn't be crowded. They have pretty strict rules about the number of people that can gather in any room. Also, these people all live together. They are touching the same surfaces, breathing the same air, sharing the same bathrooms, etc...

But you are right - singing would increase the risk of infection. Still, I think the risks from the current version of the virus to a vaccinated group of young people (who are still required to wear masks!) is small enough that the piano should be available.
Yeah, in my family no one ever made a distinction. You'd look someone up in the yellow pages, they were all in the same stack, and only a prig would correct you, "you mean, look him up in the White Pages".
yep, the way I'm thinking about this it'd certainly be the case that bundlers etc would be aware of the standard and act accordingly.
Brazil hyperinflation case is a great read, both on the instruments that appeared to take advantage of it (and ultimately put more gas on the fire) and also on how Brazil managed to tackle it (it was more a behavior science thing than economics).

https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2010/10/04/130329523/how-...

Interesting things that I remember from that time:

- Hypermarkets made a boom, because people would make big monthly groceries purchases right when they got their salaries, and avoid small frequent purchases (as the money would lose value with time, very quickly)

- Price freezes were very frequent and very ineffective as companies would simply stop producing/selling, generating product shortages everywhere.

- A financial device called Overnight, were you would convert your brazilian currency (had many names) into USD at night and then convert it back to BR on the next day

- Government would try to control USD exchange rates and this simply created a black market that got so widespread that the black market (called "parallel market") had its rates published at newspaper and TV like a normal thing.
Right, but you aren't really someone who should have much of a say over this, and neither are any parents. The people most knowledgable about this topic are (though not universally) arriving at the conclusion that children should continue to wear masks.

Besides, wearing a mask is not exactly a heavy burden to bear. Yes, it's annoying, but the consequences of not doing so are also annoying, and in more than zero cases deadly.

It's such a low burden, that it's almost silly to think about not doing it, given the current situation.

Honestly, it just seems like parents are taking out their frustrations about the situation on other people who are also stuck in this situation. It's absolutely bananas, how acrimonious this has gotten, all because political actors saw a way to divide the country in a way that benefitted them.
In Finland they are already filling up a 100k year long term storage mine [1]. Will every country with nuclear power have to find and dig (and counter-NIMBY) their own mines or could those with more favorable geological features offer theirs to others?

I was using the comparison to random people and influencers mentioned by zriha that spawned this thread of conversation. There are of course credible experts. However I’d argue many/most popular alternative sources chosen over journalism are not credible experts.
Gives me shades of what happened with WalMart's attempts to get a banking charter license earlier, but this time it seems that much of the damage was internal hubris.
>But you should be aware that there is no actual reduced inflow of air due to mask wearing

Huh? From https://weintraubcenter.dentistry.ucla.edu/n95-respirators-t...

>Pressure drop is a measure of the resistance that the air meets as it flows through the respirator filter and into the mask. This is important because the pressure drop affects the comfort and breathability of the mask- specifically a lower pressure drop is desirable as it translates to increased breathability and thus comfort.

> On average, those that have high filtration efficiency are also the ones with the largest pressure drop, which make it difficult to breath.

I'm aware not everyone is wearing a N95 or better respirator, but the metric applies to all masks.

So it's a cloth mask, which have been shown to barely protect you at all.

> The Unmask is not designed or intended to prevent, mitigate, treat, diagnose or cure any disease or health condition, including COVID-19/Coronavirus.

That goes beyond the "this isn't an n95 mask" - this is actually saying this mask is purely performative. Which is the accusation anti-maskers make. So they become what they accuse others of doing.

Great business.
There was no specific requirement.

My wife teaches kids to ride horses and I was hustling to start a business at the time so we had fluid schedules.

I've known quite a few homeschoolers and nearly all of them spend a lot less time on it than kids spend in school because most of the time in school is recess, lunch, waiting in line, waiting while the teacher manages other kid's misbehavior, etc. In a 1-1 or 1-few situation (homeschooling siblings) students are more engaged and more 'productive'.

I had a project idea for a hoverpack instead of a jetpack. It would only cancel gravity in short busts to enable people to super jump over things. The reduced power needs lowered the total price to around $5,000. No time to build it though.
Could be. My unpopular prediction is that within 100 years, well-engineered deep-ocean burial will be considered good enough, given all else which is likely to become clear by then.
I always assumed that green was good and red was bad given that stoplights are relatively universal.
Since getting my first credit card, I’ve used a Google Sheet to keep track of my expenses and manage my finances across all my accounts. The process required I log in to each bank, download the CSV files, import them to my Google Sheet, and then manually dedupe transactions.

Obviously, this is highly-time intensive and repetitive, so I used the new Notion API to automatically sync my financial transaction to Notion. In the last few months of using it to manage my financial life, I've found Notion to be faster and more customizable compared to the other finance apps I've tried to use before (Mint / Simplifi) and MUCH quicker than importing everything manually.
I don't know. I won't pay for a single day or a single article from NYT or WSJ. If it is freely available I might read it.

I honestly have no solution for their problem. It's a bad position to be in. Their content is just not valuable enough to pay for. At least for me.

I pay for books and ebooks all the time, so I'm not opposed to paying for reading material. It's just that I value books much higher than news or opinion pieces.

Nothing necessarily in this case, I just assumed that a vector image format would be much smaller and obviously scales with the resolution (how much that matters for the arrows, I don't know).
My son wears a mask to kindergarten and I’ve been impressed by just how much it doesn’t seem to bother him or really matter at all. That link about deforming ears is interesting! It’s funny actually, my family tends to have stuck out “Obama ears” as well call them. Maybe this will create more “ear peers” with the potential to actually increase their hearing capabilities?

That's legit R&D.

Marines storming a ship is an obvious use case where the high cost will be accounted for (i.e. we have a lot of expensive gear for specific purpose) and it's a practical scenario. Coast Guard same. And certainly other forces. If we can get the gear to be very easy to use and practical, it could very much enable a kind of acute mobility.

There's little direct use beyond that, however, the development of the technology could yield other things as we learn to make those little jets cheap, efficient and intelligent.

Those systems could absolutely be deoployed onto drones, which opens up a world of use cases.
I used to do paragliding back in college, definitely prefer it to paramotoring because no engine noise and much more agile wings.

However I wouldn't relate it with "speed flying" because speed flying is a truly an extreme sport with extremely high mortality but paragliding is a chill flying unless you choose to make it extreme.

Paragliding is so safe these days, the wings are very stable and spontaneously return to airworthy shape if disrupted. Flying is very chill, to do something at high speed you usually need to build up energy by spiralling or swinging the wing.

Speed flying on the other hand uses much smaller wings and that makes them very dynamic. They fly at much higher speeds and they have high kinetic energy all the time which results in very large movements even at small inputs from the pilot.
Nothing is safe, you just have to acknowledge the risk involved and accept it.

Risk is everywhere, if you accept the risk involved you may find yourself having a good time.

Please keep in mind that you're not entitled to badger here; this isn't a venue for convincing people that you're right about things (for what it's worth: I'm well aware that you are right in this instance), but rather for having thoughtful conversations.

Wikipedia has a good rule in Articles for Deletion debates, where they decide which articles to keep when people nominate them for deletion. They're not votes. You can get all your friends to chime in with dumb comments saying "keep" or "delete" for stupid reasons, but the admin who evaluates the AfD debate is supposed to ignore the count of comments supporting any given argument, and just make a note of the diversity of those arguments, and then evaluate which set of arguments are stronger. You can spam an AfD with misinformation, but at least in theory it shouldn't work (in fact, you might be just as likely to piss off the admin and nudge them the other way).

That's a good way to look at HN threads as well. If you have something interesting to say, say it, and then get out of the way; let the dumb comments be the noise, not yours.

This is all very meta, I know, but this whole thread is so pointless that meta can only improve it.
I am double vaxed+boosted, and I still wear a mask everywhere I'm required to which includes still going to the gym 3-4 times a week.

My gym has gone back and forth between masks being required or not with the case count. I know I've read everything about airflow being fine, and there being no reduced oxygen intake, but having worked out with and without a mask depending on location in the past 2 years I can attest anecdotally as somebody with no health problems that even if only anecdotal it is way more taxing/difficult to recover breath when working out with a mask on, and can be borderline anxiety/torture especially after very intense sets or cardiovascular effort.

It easily takes me at least a couple more minutes to recover my breath/rest in between very hard sets of heavy squats for instance as compared to when not wearing a mask.
"no actual reduced inflow of air due to mask wearing, certainly not one that you would detect physiologically."

Depends on how you measure it and what you mean by physiologically detect. Generally, the resistance of breathing through a ("good") mask is not automatically detectable, but does exist and one could detect it if they are attentive. Your body tends to increase tidal volume and/or respiration rate because of the rebreathing of the stale under the mask. There are certainly studies that measure the physiological effects, such that we set 15 minute and 8 hour limits on CO2 exposure etc.

Granted it's largely not an issue, but it's not necessarily correct to say that it offers no restriction and no physiological changes.
My 'system' is talking about incremental risks, whether they are across time or across individuals. The point is that these incremental risks are not great in themselves, but when accumulated, they become substantial. If climate change contributes to increasing disease, as is projected, the cumulation of diseases over time become a substantial risk even to the individual, even if they aren't directly affected by flood, fire or drought. And of course even a low direct individual risk can cascade into a societal risk that circles back to affect the individual. Take the chief risk of COVID-19, which is that the local medical system is overwhelmed. When this becomes acute, as it did in Italy, it affects even those who were at little risk of COVID itself, by denying them access to health care in the event of an accident or other illness.
Yes it is :)

From our perspective, it’s saved us from making some big mistakes (I.e. bad hires), so it’s a hugely important part of the process.

Those that have gone through it have mostly raved about the experience - including those that we’ve rejected! They get a lot of coaching as part of it, and it also serves to demonstrate if we’re a good fit for them.
Pretty much exactly this, and it's a good way to think about it: the browser as an OS and this as just pre including popular 'userland' software with distributions.

Indeed, the biggest advantage of paper arithmetic is that it leaves a written record: each step in the algorithm can be checked for mistakes afterward. It is otherwise significantly slower and not inherently more accurate than a counting board.

The other advantage that paper arithmetic has is that it can be easily reproduced in printed books, making learning more advanced techniques more accessible / easier to spread to anyone literate, without requiring an expert teacher.

(And finally, paper arithmetic [eventually] has the advantage that it can be more conveniently extended and generalized to include more kinds of operations and structures, in a way that is easier to explain and teach than adding new kinds of counting board rules. Paper arithmetic is a more natural precursor for symbolic algebra than counting-board calculation.)

The big disadvantage of paper arithmetic is that it depends on widespread literacy and cheap access to paper (or similar material). In a context where paper is expensive or unavailable, written arithmetic is not very compelling.
If it's anything like the Finnish facility there would be no digging, the facility has tunnels leading to the different storing locations. It will be continually used for centuries to place new spent fuel. They different rooms with spent fuel could easily be opened again.
Glacier cost in the cheapest region is 3.6$/TB/month. Plus at least 50$ to download that terabyte once it's needed(if hardware that you're backing up is not in AWS), and I don't even factor in retrieval costs. You can get HDD storage cheaper than this(twice as cheap with some providers) if you are willing to use dedicated servers. And they come with unlimited traffic. And you can use hardware there for something. Glacier is expensive AF.
