F=ma, so if you increase the mass you either decrease the acceleration (they slow down) or increase the force (they hit the bumps harder). In practice it's both. The vertical acceleration when you hit a bump is essentially determined just by your speed and the size of the bump; it can't be slowed down. So instead what happens is the bump will exert a greater force on the tire (which will deform it more, reducing grip and probably meaning you'll need to run higher pressure, which also tends to reduce grip). On the other side, when you leave the bump, the force is determined by the spring rate of the suspension and the amount of compression, so for the same suspension, a heavier wheel will move back to the ground slower, which yes, will reduce grip. You could increase the spring rate to compensate, but that would exacerbate the first problem, and also wouldn't help in the situation where you hit a dip from steady state rather than exiting a bump.

This isn't a theoretical problem, even some ICEs with a lot of torque have warnings against flooring them from standstill to avoid axle/drivetrain damage.
Good line of thought.

Quality content tax-payers could at least know what they are missing when they reload the same home page / feed for the 10th time. Quantity has a quality, etc...
>Later, when he licked his fingers to turn a page, he discovered a very sweet taste. Since he realized that the compound he made was unlikely to be toxic, he tasted it and found it extremely sweet indeed. In fact, aspartame is about 200 times as sweet by weight as sugar.

This is horrifying.
> I do agree, however, that the Christian church is predatory. It is matriarchal and is basically a system of domestication.

First, outside of the increasingly unrealized ecumenical aspirations of the various Christian Churches, there is no “the Christian Church” in the sense of a single human institution.

And virtually none of the various Christian Churches are matriarchal, they tend to be quite patriarchal, both internally and in the structure they advocate for broader society.
Why is that?

I've had a similar interview where I was interviewing and this came up, the interviewee didn't pass but it wasn't because they said GETs could have bodies. That was just one of the reasons, and they would've passed if that was the only "wrong" answer.

If they had explained that you could indeed have a body in a GET request, even if it went against the spec and you'd probably have to modify you existing body parser to comply, I would have accepted the answer as "correct". What matters is if you can explain your answer, not if you can answer yes or no questions.

In the end they didn't explain their reasoning and I just said that GETs can indeed have a body, but it goes against the spec, so it's gonna be hard unless "you own the entire stack", like a parallel comment said here. This way they have a base to explore more info later and improve for their next interview.
Methanol is toxic because it is eventually metabolized into formic acid (the same venom used by ants) which interferes with cell metabolism.[1] If the amount of formic acid is high enough, cells can't maintain homeostatis and die. Certain cells with higher metabolic demands (such as nerve cells) die first. If the dosage is below that threshold, you're fine.

The FDA considers 0.5mg/kg/day of methanol to be unlikely to cause deleterious effects for a person's lifetime. For a 70kg person that would be 35mg per day. For comparison: a can of diet soda has less than 200mg of aspartame. Assuming 100% of the aspartame breaks down into phenylethylamine, aspartic acid, and methanol, then less than 10% of that mass would be methanol, or less than 20mg. So even if you drank an entire can of disgusting old diet soda every day, you'd still be below the FDA's threshold for cumulative damage and you'd be nowhere near the threshold for acute methanol poisoning.

I doubt it. I just downloaded the source and have it running from my local machine. It took me about 3 minutes.
Don’t get me wrong, I got my 3 Covid shots. But that’s within 6 months. No other vaccine is that frequent.
I did a similar trip earlier in January. 1100 km from Germany to the alps (550km per way).

I had to stop once for the full 1100km trip to refuel (before leaving Austria on the way back cause it’s cheap to tank there, not because we actually needed to refuel).

It was ~4:30 per way. Nobody in the car had to pee, etc.

I think doing 15 min break per way would have been ok. But doing 1h per way or more if breaks is really not great. Particularly with kids in the car (we leave really early put them as sleep, they woke up for the last 2:30 h or so and that was borderline).
I’m in a senior role working for an SF company, and my permanent address is in the Bay Area. Although I haven’t relocated per se, I work from the EU for months at a time because my partner lives there. It’s occasionally inconvenient for me because meetings occur when it’s evening / nighttime in Europe —- sometimes quite late —- but fortunately I don’t have too many such meetings, and I’m a night owl anyway. For coding tasks, sometimes it can actually work out better because I can do my day’s tasks before anyone in the US is awake, then submit my PRs, attend my standups, and sign off. Sometimes it works out worse because if I’m waiting on a code review or need help during the daytime in Europe, it won’t come till nighttime. And of course there are the random times when someone in the US legitimately needs to chat with me near bedtime etc. I do believe that being so remote so often means that I wouldn’t be a good fit for roles that require more leadership, because the time zone difference makes it hard to maintain a very high level of responsive communication and availability, particularly when it comes to meetings and chat. However, I’ve more or less accepted it for now as a reasonable trade-off of being a bit of a digital nomad.

> I totally get that some people would like to see fewer ads.

I'd like to be very clear: On the google Search property, it's less about the number of ads, and more about "ads look very, very, very similar to the actual search results". Therefore, selling ads above the results is becoming very, very close to "selling search results". In fact for many of your customers, that is already a distinction without a difference. If you want to be taken seriously on this it's best to respond to a steel-man of the public's argument, even if the actual line of argument from the public is somewhat weakly presented. After all, you are the professional in public communication, we are the amateurs.

Most readers on HN are already well aware of the narrow distinction between "selling search results" and "selling ads above search results that (to many users) look exactly like search results". Some people are here trying to bring this issue to the forefront of discourse in order to help Google take action to strengthen their Search property.

It's hard to take your word as an official "PR Liaison for Search" word at face value on this when it lacks sufficiently rigorous introspection. The primary revenue-generating division for a $2 trillion company should be able to afford real introspection!
eh, it's so small you can put it on a bike :)
Yeah, better than in other languages I'd argue, as the meaning of the code is not obscured as much. This becomes especially (but not exclusively) clear with clash vs. VHDL/Verilog.

You have to actually know Haskell first, obviously.

Internet users are not the people who decide whether a website provides its content free of charge. That's the site owner's decision. If a site owner obtains or produces valuable content and then provides it without charging for it, the site owner is responsible for the consequences of their own decision. If a site owner relies solely on display ads for revenue and chooses not to pursue other sources of revenue, that's also 100% on them.

Most websites that provide free content don't require visitors to consume ads. The sites' terms of service don't forbid visitors from blocking ads in most cases, and the sites don't make visitors agree to view ads on the site before the visitors enter the site. As far as the visitor is concerned, the site owner's property is recognized and respected even if the visitor chooses not to load, display, or consume all of the content on the page.

It doesn't make sense for a site owner to be outraged about their lack of revenue, when they themselves decided to provide content without charging for it or monetizing it effectively. Business models that rely entirely on advertising are not guaranteed success, and internet users are not obligated to make ad-supported websites successful.
Battles are won and lost based on gasoline. In the Battle of the Bulge, the German offensive failed when they ran out of gas. The Allied offensive in Europe was also limited by gas supplies.

Do you think any military is going to allow itself to be crippled by patents?

In WW1, the American aviation industry was crippled by patent lawsuits. The government put a stop to that nonsense and forced them to form a patent pool, so advanced military airplanes could be built.
Yeah, Mac's use ZSH as their default shell, which IIRC is practically a super-set of Bash.
One example: people who simply state “women make 82 cents for every dollar a man makes” to imply the advantage of being a man vs a woman.

The reality of how this number is calculated (eg averages across professions, even though men and women tend to work different professions, part time vs full time is not taken into account) suggests the conclusions that come from this 82 cents number is more nuanced than the initial statement.
Yep, I just downloaded the files and I'm running it locally. It only took a few minutes.
Yep that's how I so that, although in step 4 I don't have to click "more", I immediately have an icon with a capital A that toggles fonts at the bottom. But maybe I configured it to automatically expand something that is by default hidden behind a more button... I honestly don't remember.

A lot of work has been going in over the last years to separate the protocol properly from the underlying stack (gnunet).
We are currently also working on a spec for our DHT (which is a required basis for GNS).
One of the reasons we specified GNS first is because of the order of fundings we receive(d).

Did you know Docker Desktop runs a virtual machine on your computer?
Yeah, that's on the interviewer for not asking follow up questions.

I've had plenty of intelligent answers that seemed weird to me before I followed up. Or "wrong" answers because I didn't explain the question well or there were different assumptions. Red flags shouldn't be red flags until you probe and give the candidate a chance to explain (or dig a deeper hole).
Problem is that it's not alone on the market. These new proteinbars that are flooding stores here in Sweden have a careful balance of THREE different sweeteners just to get away with the low sugar content.

They do taste amazing but I'm skeptical to anything unnatural.
> if you value your time and security, just keep a dedicated Windows system for gaming

Not everyone has the space and money for this. In fact most people don't and when you buy a powerful PC for games you most likely also want to use it for your other PC tasks too - especially if you are a developer. Even if one has both the space and money, they may just not want to "task switch" between different machines (e.g. i do have a bunch of computers in my place but 99% of the time i use just one). Also switching between games and work in a different virtual desktop or whatever is way faster and more convenient than even rolling your chair to some other desk to another PC.

> I keep all the things I actually care about or don't want stolen on my Linux system with full drive encryption and I keep a gaming PC that has absolutely nothing I care about on it. The Windows system is never allowed to access my email, credit cards, or anything I care about in any way.

Neat, but the same applies if you are running games under Wine since everything is running under Linux and not Windows. You do not even need to have Windows installed. If you are too paranoid to even touch an EXE because it might access other stuff in your home directory you can run the games under a different user with access only to that user's files.

> worry about the insane level of insecurity and bugs from the gaming sphere. The amount of RCE in gaming is pretty bad.And, you know, sometimes your friends message you and want to play a game that is new and from a developer nobody can really trust.

If you do not trust a developer it is much easier and safer to not download and run the game. If there is any issue with the game, it'll be quickly figured out. It is not any different than a game targeting Linux or really any other piece of software.

> Combine that with the fact that the first thing almost every game does is phone home to try and download new executable content and IMO you would be irresponsible to keep your important documents/credentials on a system that is also used for gaming.

This is what pretty much EVERY software - game related or not - for pretty much EVERY OS that has some form of automatic updates does! Singling out Windows games is a bit of a double standard when your browser could be updated right tomorrow with a brand new bug that enables sites to access your SSH keys (AFAIK this has actually happened with Firefox on Linux).

If anything, at least if you are playing singleplayer games, it is much easier to keep games to a known well working version when you stick with DRM-free games like those you can buy from GOG, Zoom Platform, GamersGate (not all are DRM-free there but there is a filter), Humble Bundle (similar case, not all are DRM-free), etc instead of Steam.

Though even if you stick with Steam, i doubt Valve (or any other game store) wants to distribute actual malware from their service and things will either be fixed or removed.
In Germany, the autobahn is the motorway.

I typically drive at 180-190kph, that’s my “relaxed driving” speed. 160kph is “falling asleep” kind of speed unless you have a super loud car.
Your comment is a shining light in this dark comment section, thank you.
It seems you’re debunking the claims I’ve never made. My point was that it doesn’t matter that mRNA vaccine can be developed extremely fast compared to others, like adenovirus-based. The logistics and production will even it out.
That seems on the surface to be a ridiculous argument.

I can go "bash < somefile" and I can go "csh < somefile" and I can go "cat < somefile". It's my choice to use bash, csh, or cat. somefile will have data in it, that data will be interpreted by MY choice of program to read the data. If I don't want the contents of somefile interpreted as commands I shouldn't be passing it to something that runs commands based on its content. replace somefile with `curl someURL` and nothing changes. If I don't want my computer to connecte to other computers based on what content comes back from `curl someURL` that's my responsibility.

Maybe a better example. It type `npm -i somepackage`. npm then looks in somepackage and sees dependencies and downloads them. By the same logic as the judgement npm or `somepackage` is responsible for leaking PPI based on the dependencies listed. Not the user for running npm in the first place.

The same with `apt update` and `apt upgrade` etc...

The ruling would apply in tons of places that seem like they'd make it hard for things to keep working.
Quite right. The small graph in the article confirms it. If you zoom in enough you can see the power and torque are more than doubled during the 20second burst mode, but even so it is very impressive
Chromebox is my preference. Switched out all my pi's for old chromeboxes and couldn't be more pleased. Bluetooth and WiFi work great out gate, always had issues with those on the Pis. Even the oldest model CPU is on par with PI4 I think. Built in ssd too.
Another thing to consider (at least something that I sometimes do myself) is that some people may open a story to read for later (or even at the time) but never come back to upvote the post or engage in conversation.

Heh, I'm not sure if you realize this and are teasing me, but I'm the interviewer in that video! :-)

(or at least, a version of me that existed 10 years ago; amazing that it's been that long)
So people visit new when they post a story, when I am on new I look over what is around and if there is anything I should upvote or flag if really bad obvious advertising. I guess it is probably the same for most users who submit things.

As it is submissions do show up on the front page, so it must be that some are getting upvoted, so I sort of think the system works good enough, despite my many quality submissions not getting more than one upvote.

Earlier today I mentioned to my first grader that when I was a kid we didn't have an ice maker in our freezer, and we just used ice cube trays, instead. He sat there for a minute, stumped, and finally asked, "so what made the freezer cold?"

It took me a minute to figure out what he meant, but finally I realized that he thought the way our freezer worked was that we had a machine that made ice, and the freezer was cold because it was full of ice. It's really easy to reverse cause and effect when you can't see what's happening.

Fascinating idea at the end there, the bastion. I can find anything in my waters, but you can't enter my waters, so you can't find my stuff there.

Android tablets are also toys. You can play some Android games, take some notes and that's about all they can do. Watching movies or reading on them is a masochistic experience. And to do work on them - just forget it.
Not rocket science: SpinLaunch hurls payloads into orbit
Is it natural thing for humans to talk about how their covid went?
I drove a similar route as the GP, 1100km round trip for a ski trip to Austria, aiming at 190kph.

I didn’t have to tank for the round trip, but I decided to tank on the way back cause in Austria tanking is much cheaper.

My car isn’t particularly new, but the lowest I’ve seen it use is 4.5l/100km and at 180-190 it uses 6.5l/100km.

In Germany most people don’t drive huge SUVs. Mine is a relatively sleek station wagon.

Reducing the aerodynamic surface of cars significantly improved fuel economy.
I worked as a trader for a UK based bookmaker and in reality it wasn't like that. You were betting against the house and it was very rare for us to make money on any outcome.
I was not worried. The Autobahn is one of the safest road networks in the world because of how well it's maintained and how well drivers follow the rules. Of course one should always stay vigilant. I've done the trip many times before and know the potential hazard zones. Wild animals jumping out at high speed is a risk almost anywhere in the world. According to your stats, that risk is exceedingly low compared with the actual miles driven each year.
Okay, how about being open to the possibility that it’s exactly the simplicity and stress-free minimalism that has led to its success and popularity?
The problem with consoles is that your games library is basically hostage to the platform and the excessive DRM they have. With PC games you can play the games on any PC, current or future and especially if you stick with DRM-free games you can play the games years or even decades after they were out.

If you only care about playing a game now and then without caring what might happen in 4-5 years consoles might be ok, but i think that everyone eventually will find a game they'd like to be able to re/play 10+ years later on their current hardware and consoles make that hard.
Nah they generally make a loss on just the pool seeding bets (made by the nominated lucky few) and make it up from the rest. Generally the seeding bets end up as a small percentage of the overall pool.

If they aren't globally unique they aren't really names anymore.

If I send you a link involving news.ycombinator.com, and you think that news.ycombinator.com is really furrypr0n.com, I would say that we are not using the same naming system.

That isn't distributed; it's merely incoherent.
I don't understand how this game can be commercialized. Crosswords actually have to be written and the quality of the game relates to how much effort goes into making it. Anyone with a dictionary file can host a World clone.

Not sayings its a bad game--its a great idea--just don't see what the value is in buying it. I'm not even sure what exactly they bought, it doesn't really have any monetization/userbase/IP.
Too little, too late.

Outside iPadOS, hybrid laptops with Windows are a much better proposition than Android will ever be.

There are a lot of reasons you should a custom domain instead. What happens if they shut down this service and all your important accounts are using the duck domain?
You can’t drive in a German motorway at 110kph. You’d be in the truck lane at 80kph for your whole trip, having to over take every single truck, of which there are many. So 130kph+ is the minimum unless you are towing.
Some bookmakers (Pinnacle, Sbobet, ibcbet etc.) do just that and their odds are controlled by the amount of money being bet on either side of the handicap, but it's a completely different model and most bookmakers don't have the liquidity to do this.
I fully agree! However I do keep a Windows partition for some titles.
