Oh, I guess it'd been a couple years since I viewed the rate tables. In my mind peak prices were closer to $0.30. My mistake.

The point is that the 1:1 ability to exchange power you generate for power to consume is a better deal than anyone else gets: Half of the per-kWh cost of electricity PG&E sells goes toward transmission (aka maintaining poles and cables) and half toward the actual generation. If you produce 1 kWh at noon, and consume one at 8 pm, you pay 0, so contribute nothing toward the poles that provided that electricity to you when you needed it. So in the end, you paid $0 for that net neutral exchange, while PG&E received $0.40 from the other customer. They paid ~0.15 for the kWh they provided to you. Overall that means that they delivered 2 kWh over their lines and got $0.25, which is half of what they would have otherwise gotten for delivering 2 kWh over their lines.

It's not clear how long immunity from having the disease will last.[1] Some people do get it more than once. The UK counts re-infections, and they're at 4% and climbing. If new variants appear, they will be mutations of the omicron variant, because it's so dominant.
Large numbers of people getting sick every year or so is possible.

I don't understand the point of this conversation.

And I maintain that the summary omits and misrepresents what the data shows.

> I'm saying that you choosing not to mention the fact that they do state that fact accurately merely a few sentences later

It's behind a click. It actually doesn't show at all without a click. I missed it the first time I skimmed the article (thank you for pointing it out) and I'm sure other people will as well.
It's not. It's in a document proposing a more complex approach.

The point of that discussion, which is clear in the original text, is to identify the benefits of the existing approach and retain them if possible through the transition to a register based ABI.

To be fair a couple of mainstream distros are far easier to get than Windows or Mac, only people have a lot of previous Windows experience by the time they encounter Linux.

These days iPads of course are at a different level, but that wouldn't be a fair comparison.

> it didn't focus on the content of the book that may disturb children, but rather on the occasional use of crude language and sexual discussions.

Yeah, it seems to miss the point.

You can ask whether a topic like this is appropriate for children of a certain age. For eighth graders, I think it is. But for younger children, maybe not.

There is also a question of whether exposure to this sort of thing -- this true destruction of innocence -- achieves what it sets out to. I have seen historical sites like these that have made a serious impression on me -- and I'm not sure a good one. Combined with the forms of argument, the dehumanization, the dishonesty, that I see routinely on the Internet, I end up profoundly distrustful of people, especially people in groups. And then I think -- is that a good thing? For it to be brought to everyone's attention that genocide is an option and a possibility? One that, perhaps, they need to prepare for? One that, perhaps, their enemies are plotting? "God, well if that's what's going on, maybe we need to get them first!" I don't know. I'm not really making this argument. When push comes to shove I think it's part of a complete education. But seeing some of these things has actually fucked with me a little.
It's not an argument in bad faith, I've been extremely straightforward with my points the entire time. The real strawman here is classifying any leveling system as a 'dark pattern' just because some clearly are.

> "I personally don't like this thing".

Read their comments; it's obvious that their personal preferences are constraining their viewpoint. They just repeat over and over that others must not be getting any true enjoyment out of levels.

Some people are comfortably stubborn when it comes to understanding the perspective of others:

> The mechanic of levelling up or gathering experience points and so on are proxies for a sense of progress, not actual progress. They don't get you anything but the satisfaction of getting it. Textbook pointlessness.

It's clear as an open blue sky: they don't see the value in it, therefore it must have no real value.
OK, the USA have a history of growing by slavery and genocides. That can't be changed and the descendants of the winners are better off than the descendants of the losers.

But people living in Europe had their own much longer history of genocides. Example, I'm Italian. If I could look back into my family tree for 2 or 3 millenia I'm sure I'll find all sort of nasty and nice people. Somebody who fought their local wars, somebody invaded by Latins, some Latin invader, somebody who went invading other countries, somebody invading Italy in the last 2k years, somebody that had a part in the few colonial wars fought by Italy in the last centuries, etc. Somebody from a family branch probably went to the USA or any other expanding country and they of their descendants had their share of helping killing off native people.

Replace Italy with another European county. They could have had a less nasty ancient history but they are likely to have a more recent nastier one. And replace with most countries around the world, they still have some huge or small stains in their history.

So this actually applies to nearly all people alive now. This means that we should condone China because they are doing what our ancestors did, maybe on different scale or maybe canceling cultures not by indoctrination but by removing heads from bodies? I don't think so. What's important is what we do, not what ancestors did. But don't forget what they did.

Strong disagreement. Push notifications are so annoying and really should not exist except for calendar, todos and other time sensitive things.

The idea that apps just get to notify me whenever they want is insane. This is especially true in games.

Heck theses days a website gets to buck me about it just by me visiting it.
Well, if you haven't noticed, the HN community does NOT like the type of human material in the craptocurrency space - people who would sell their mothers for a fraction of Bitcoin and then hodl it... or spend it on hookers! I've been mining Bitcoin before it was cool! But when I saw the type of sketchy characters overcrowding the space, I left the sinking ship! I get Bitcoin from time to time and I happen to sell them to the idiots at peaks! Like this last time, for example, I got my Handshake reward, turned it into Bitcoin, and sold at the all-time high - because it's not really hard to know when this is gonna fall... like a knife... but I'm not trying to catch it!

Active Dendrites Enable Multi-Task Learning in Dynamic Environments
If your algorithm is “choose the next number for which its Roman numeral sorts lexicographically higher than the current number”, then if you start at 1 you will only get 35 elements, since 38 (XXXVIII) is the lexicographically-highest Roman numeral.

Using this precise rule, the starting point that gets you furthest is 250, which grants you 153 elements before stopping at 1038 (MXXXVIII).

It’s possible to devise a longer sequence by skipping some numbers (e.g. after 1000 you’d jump to 1100), but I’m too lazy to calculate how you’d do all that.

All this also assumes subtraction rules, which were a late addition to Roman numerals; without subtraction rules, four is written IIII instead of IV, and nine VIIII instead of IX, and so all of 1–49 would be lexicographically sorted.

from docutils.utils.roman import toRoman

def sequence(start):
last = ''
out = []
for i in range(start, 5000):
this = toRoman(i)
if this > last:
last = this
out.append(i)
return out

# Brute force way because I’m lazy; takes around ten seconds on my machine.
start, s = max(((start, sequence(start)) for start in range(1, 5000)), key=lambda x: len(x[1]))
print(f'{start} gives you {len(s)} items, {s}')

YouTube Music suggests random playlists on the homepage. It seems to somehow both suggest music I don't want, and keep feeding me songs and artists I've already listened to too many times recently. And it shuffles my supermix and discover mix's contents, and discards and recomputes my "Up Next" list seemingly at random. Any time I see a song I like, I have to save it or else it will probably disappear forever.
Because learning about it can swiftly disabuse children of dangerous, facile notions like "an all-powerful government is always and everywhere an unalloyed good". This is necessary if you actually want to raise an educated citizenry, which is the foundation of effective democracy.
I wonder if not randomly selecting after applying a quality filter is actually leading to worse outcomes? It is a well known in stock markets that it is often better to just randomly drop money in than to try and time the market. Maybe the politiking and bias of grant selection committees is picking the wrong half of the standard normal distribution?
I can maybe see a prioty system for contacts.

Not sure how much it would help. My family is at least an hour away and I might not see the notification anyway.

We’ll, that’s where market forces push back on you. If you abuse your position then people (developers willing to work on your platform) walk. There’s a threshold, and I don’t know what it is, but Apples platform and it’s customers are currently worth the 15/30%.

I suspect that the number of developers at 80% would fall off a cliff. But that would be Apples decision to make. They set it at 30% and there are apparently plenty of developers who are willing to pay that rather than not develop for the platform.

I don’t believe it either. I had gingivitis before flossing, now never. I also had cavities appearing between my teeth, but not anymore.

I read these articles too a few years ago, and I wondered if most of the people were just bad at flossing or something. But yea it just doesn’t quite align with my personal experience, or the experience of my dentist. I know firsthand that scientists can and do often get it wrong. I think this may be one example of that.
That's excellent! Those all look like pretty nice small code changes that all add up. I especially like the very small "avoid copy" change (https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/go/+/355789) that adds up to a 30% speedup on many benchmarks. I hope they get included in Go 1.19. Good work!
Messaging apps are a good example of when not to do notifications. Why should my day be interrupted because some random contact sends me some information? I don’t have email set to interrupt me, why should chat?
My school has a similar custom. Only the students are older (typically in their 20s) and the books are called "dissertations". Oddly, despite being in the library, and the students spending a long time writing them (often years), few people want to read the books.

No, PoW is not destroying the planet. Bitcoin uses less energy than pet food production. Pets are destroying the planet!

It’s not some “upgrade” to PoS. It’s a huge downgrade in security of your coin. I think a combination of PoS and PoW chains, with PoW being a base layer in public chains, with PoS chains anchoring commitments. Only when the probabilistic finality from PoW commits this, the house of cards political game that is PoS txs become final. PoS is fakery. Human failings. Everything of value in this universe takes work.
I have a small home NAS with 3x 8TB drives in ZFS RAID-Z. Everything was fine then one day my son complained that some video files were pausing in the middle when they used to work.

I check the zpool status and saw that the system had been running on just 2 disk for probably a month due to write errors on one disk. Of the two remaining, another was having occasional errors that ZFS was correcting.

I pulled the bad drive, zeroed it out three times, and reinserted it. ZFS performed a resilver. After it was done, I pulled the other drive, zeroed it, and added it back.

The drives (SMART and ZFS) are no longer reporting any errors on any of the three drives and I only lost partial data on 4 files (which were replaceable).

Overall, I was surprised how resilient ZFS was and how easy the process was to replace 2 drives in a 3 drive array with minimal data loss.

This is like what I saw but there was a gap between each button mushroom.

> though spaced repetition seems best, and they use "streaks" of days you've interacted with the app as a metric, which is the opposite of spaced repetition

I wouldn't say that. First, spaced repetition would usually apply to the individual vocabulary items DuoLingo wants you to remember, not to DuoLingo itself. It's a method for choosing which items to review.

Second, and related to #1, the learning work in spaced repetition is being done by the repetition part. More repetition is better. Constant repetition will make you learn more effectively than spaced repetition will. What spaced repetition is (successfully) attempting to improve on is the model where you review a fact once and then never look at it again. It's a huge upgrade from that; you'll forget your one-and-done fact very quickly. But it's a huge downgrade from reviewing the fact every day for the rest of your life. It's just that it's also cheaper than that is.
Spotify's insistence that it display Podcasts on the Home Screen is very frustrating, these are shows (often political) I've no intention of ever listening to or wanting to know even exist & there's no means of hiding them or telling Spotify I'm not interested. A quick online search shows many others equally frustrated by this "feature".

I wouldn't mind so much if the product was free, but I'm paying and don't appreciate having extreme political content thrust toward me each time I open the App.
My female colleague used to hypothesize why men earned more in general.

She said that, if we take an average male and female that have no skills whatsoever, male can still be a coal miner or do a construction job or be a mover better.

This means male inherently has higher earning potential. It makes sense that male earns higher.

As a side note, I appreciate she talked about this at work openly. As a male, I am scared to discuss such a thing at work.
> "Linux will ignore the best implementation of a thing because we/they don't like the license."

It isn't because they don't like the license. The licenses of linux and zfs are incompatible, so zfs is out of tree and that leads to technical problems. No, it isn't a law of the universe, but it is the law of the United States at least, and probably many other countries as well.

Yeah no.

There is a limit to optimization, and that ends with optimized machine code.

Go being a compiled language, that is cross paltform but separate binaries, should be very close to C in terms of performance.

Languages like Python, Java, C#, are run on virtual machines, meaning you can optimize them only so far.

As far as cloud costs are concerned, a well developed program should cost least with go.

Go is best suited for running intensive compute loads in serverless environments.
Same reasoning would apply moreso to NGAD. And I'm suggesting in addition to, not instead of.

A second iteration wouldn't necessarily be a "super fighter", but a cheaper, relatively conservative improvement on the existing f-22 and a hedge against NGAD delays or failures.

An updated, lower maintenance stealth coating, a slightly scaled up airframe for additional fuel and range, and an updated communications suite (that's compatible with f-35's et al)... just that would be huge. As said, an fa-18ef update.

Since the tech is 30+ years old now, it's probably to our advantage to share at least some of it with our allies. Which spreads development costs and lowers $per/jet costs.

I don't know how you envision "missile trucks" working against, eg china, but humans on-board requires missile-defeating stealth, and cheap excludes the NGAD version.

And the morale argument is what? A reason to never build an awesome fighter jet again? Cool things worthy of national pride experiencing a failure will always hit morale. But a reboot of a 30 year old jet wouldn't be the prime candidate for that, anymore than people would currently think the new fa-18 is. It's an update of what will be a ~2 generation lag behind (publicly known) cutting edge.
you badly misunderstand -- it is business advantage, not fraud. It was carefully, definitely, one hundred percent legal. I did not know someone could setup a holding company legally, purchase one container ship at a good price, since they are slow and expensive to buy, they are out there. But Richard Blum did find that out and buy one. That's not illegal. He worked hard to find that and execute the whole setup, then someone has to run it. Once it is making even a small profit, which takes many steps and largely is determined by the cost of the capital involved, there are others in the shipping world that would definitely just take it, with whatever means of lawyers etc that you, I, and Richard Blum don't know about. So the operation must be defended. Its not illegal, it is years of careful work. (edit: I sloppily changed ship type in the heat of this dramatic response, thinking back I believe it was an oil cargo ship, not a container ship, so that gets him off the hook for this thread. my bad)
