Electric (non-induction) is awful. Slow to heat up. Impossible to rapidly cool either for cooking or to make the stovetop safe to touch/sit things on after cooking. Constantly worrying about "is the burner still hot, will I/a guest accidentally touch it".

Induction can be nice, but I now have to pay careful attention to any cooking vessel I buy until the end of time and ensure that it's compatible. I also would need to run a new 220V outlet along an exterior wall to my kitchen, expand my breaker box (which has been full for a while and is approaching full of half-height breakers), and so on. Not worth it to me.

Gas is simple and reliable. It's instant on, instant off, and works in a power outage so long as I have matches around. I turn on my exhaust fan when I'm using it and have air filters in my house to catch other particulates. I just replaced my gas stove this year - with another gas stove.
It's a matter of scale in relation to your audience and data. Your local news site with users in the tens of thousands, is unlikely to have the capital to invest in geographic and demographic tracking necessary to provide a robust ads business. Easier to plug into a number of providers who already have that data about their visitors.

These sites have to do that to remain competitive.
Tinc isn't Tinc[1] either.

Hey, I knew that one! And sateen. But those were the only two. I didn't expect the divide to be so stark.

In hindsight, I suppose it's reasonable that terms from the largest, most gender-unbalanced niches should have considerable predictive power, but I didn't expect it to be quite so effective going in.
This seems pathological. I'm wondering if we need to look at doing a better job in terms of requiring/tracking corporate lineage.

The "Name on the building", as it were, represents a valuable lever for the public to identify and hold to account the management that makes their lives hell. Whipping up a new legal fiction, changing faces, but keeping the same people at the top needs to not be as trivial as it seems to have become, especially if the Courts are treating these entities as distinct instead of as a wrapper or veneer on the same rotten core.
I found this to be inefficient use of my time personally. 30 minute interview to go over what's already written on the job description. A 30 minute to 60 minute interview with the manager or some higher up to see if you're the right cultural fit. Only after can you go through the on-site process.
Funny story: on the day that Product Hunt posted its Show HN, someone (unbeknownst to me) posted my startup on Product Hunt. It was fun to ride a little wave on top of a big wave!

My startup is still around, [1] and we posted on PH one or two other times when we launched new products. Even though we had some powerful hunters (thanks to our early presence on the site), I found it took too much time to be worthwhile for follow-on product releases. I'd be interested to know if others have had the same experience, or if they have tips for how to get a meaningful bump out of subsequent posts.

Spot on. I also saw another good metaphor: it's like building jet engine in the 1800s right after discovering Bernoulli's equation.

However, since it has such mighty political backing as a solemn hope to tackle climate change, politics will always win.

> my child not leaving it on by accident

This is interesting. How does your induction cooktop prevent someone from leaving it on? Does it automatically turn itself off after a while?
My electric cooktop can be set to do that so just trying to understand the advantage of induction ones here.
The water will boil faster if you don't watch the pot.
Presumably a lot of the IP would be the instructor videos with very popular almost-celebrity instructors? Or are they always done live?
The difference between Prince Andrew and Bill Gates is that Andrew has been (credibly) accused of sexual abuse, whereas Gates was – as far as we know – just friends with Epstein. Maybe there's something more, but there's no evidence of it – it's not even clear how close they were, exactly.

I mean, Prince Charles and Jimmy Savile had a friendship of sorts; the queen didn't disavow Charles because that's all it was. The problem with Andrew wasn't really his relationship with Epstein *as such*, but the things Andrew did.

There are induction woks! [1] And cast iron woks - which should work just fine on an induction top.

You can use a wok, it just isn't quite as good as gas because woks tend to have a smallish flat bottom, and with induction only that bottom part is getting heated. With gas the bottom part gets heated but the flames also heat up the sides of the wok.

You can get woks with wider bases for induction cooktops. I haven't tried one, but I think it could fix the issue.

Bari Weiss falls into the category "homogeneity creates rewards to heresy" in the article.

Bari Weiss is heretical to mainstream journalism because she has pushed back against CRT, mask mandates, etc.

Because she's a sane-sounding lefty that is voicing some concerns that the left-wing media is afraid to touch, she has found a great market for her content, just as the article says.
The underlying study, at http://vocabulary.ugent.be/, gives nonsense words in addition to real words to establish a baseline.
> You could still replace the first visit with a rock or automated response.

Not really, because the doctor would have to receive a first visit before a second visit, and would evaluate how to deal with each one. This is an oversimplification and it doesn't work.

> He didn't provide any more value than a rock without a salary though.

He hired people. Rocks cannot hire people. So he absolutely did provide more value than a rock. In fact, a college degree is a pretty decent heuristic all around. It'll miss a lot of good candidates, but overall the candidates who pass his filter will be mostly sound (as was mentioned in the example).

The overarching problem is that these are oversimplified examples with oversimplified explanations to support his oversimplified conclusion. Real life doesn't work that way. Real life is why we need heuristics in the first place.

>I wonder how much of this is because more women are joining the workforce. If men are leaving the workforce by their own free will because their wife is working and they are staying home with the kids, both of these facts could be true

Not what's happening. For one, marriages are decreasing too and marriage age increases.
Sure, any particular person may buck their cohort trend, but that doesn't mean the trend's not there. Just as I'm sure there are some guys really into sewing or fashion who'd look at the original list and think, of the mostly-women part, "of course I know these, who doesn't?"
Just curious. May it be that TikTok pushes more anti US and pro Chinese clips? I mean it was just my observation using the app, that if I'm getting political clips it is mostly against the west and never against china.
And only competitive advantage it really gives is that data must remain inside EU. Which seem pretty reasonable ask. And not too big hurdle for any company with enough power to enter the market.
I find that for more problems you do need a trick. Once you memorize some of the main algorithms asked, usually the questions are a twist on common algorithms + some trick that is not obvious.

Unfortunately, the devil is in the details of that "essentially" and "simplified UI". CarPlay seems magic (though admittedly I don't own an iPhone), but Android Auto has been riddled with problems around whether the deck or the phone has control, weird memory leaks, and critical controls or settings missing from the "simplification". Every time I've used it as a passenger, I find myself unplugging the phone, fiddling with the Maps or music UI on there, and then plugging it back in (often only to find out that the pairing got reset somehow and the car needs to be put in park before I can complete the onboarding again).
> Can a range hood fix this?

> Yes, if you have a colossal jet-powered A+ grade hood with a fan that vents outside.

Quite an exaggeration. Even cheap vent hoods (assuming vented to outside, of course) can move a lot of air.

You don’t have to 100% mitigate the problem to make an impact.

The author’s core analysis may be valid, but the rush to dismiss any mitigating factors feels like a significant bias showing through.
That makes sense. Btw, the horizon drift in INAV was a significant reliability issue for me. I switched to AP now, and it's leagues ahead in terms of reliability and features.
The author has a very narrow focus on NYC pundits, but the problem is more general. Other high-status, low-wage jobs include much of Hollywood. If you've spent any time in LA, you've probably met actress-model-waitress types. Game developers are a somewhat similar group - too many people want to make games, and as a result salaries are low for the level of competence required.

What else?
Now I need to find my moist, used, taffeta katana.

Induction stoves heat water far faster than gas stoves do.

My gas stove is so slow to heat water (even with its largest burner) that I have a separate electric kettle I use to heat up a liter of water and then I put that into a pot on the stove, useful when I want to steam something.
I noticed the other day when making a throw away google account that the phone number box was outlined in red implying it was mandatory. I called their bluff and left it blank without running into issues. Could be I was in an A/B test, not sure really.
I absolutely feel I did no such thing. It's not ideological to observe what I observed in my initial post. It's clearly factual and clearly relevant to the topic as it is actually raised in the original article.

I was talking mostly about the desktop space. My experience is from more or less the current generation of desktop OSes (GUIs as default etc.).
Growing up we had these excellent solid ceramic or metal (still not sure what the material was) burners on the stove. Definitely electric and far better than the coils or glass top burners. Never outside my childhood home have I seen them.

Induction and gas are both good, I would prefer having both ideally, and one of those damn jet engine wok burners too.
Purpose built induction wok hobs can be very, very good, but there are two potential problems with a regular induction range and a wok:

1. For a round wok, you'd need an 'adapter' to hold the wok.
2. for a flat bottom wok, you might not get enough surface area on the induction element.
Remember that even being average in tech means your standard of living is likely to be 1.5 or 2x that of the average person in your country (based on tech salaries vs average salaries in most countries). That's pretty awesome. You don't need to make yourself some sort of rockstar - most people, including those who want to be one, aren't. And that's totally fine. Just do what you enjoy and ignore the rat race :) Maybe one day you will wake up and go "Holy crap! I am so excited about {random_domain}!" and that excitement will get you a little further, but if you don't it doesn't matter that much. Forcing it however will just cause burnout, boredom, or stress.

Note: I genuinely believe if you're here asking this question you are more interested in tech than the average, so you're probably putting yourself down a little.
I wonder how much of that comes down to 1.5-2x the income compared to a single parent household, versus the beneficial effect of two role models.
This only makes sense if the effort to migrate is more than the accumulated effort of working with and maintaining that solution from the start.
> Does that factor in the better food you get to eat for a lifetime?

How do gas stoves make better food than electric? Certainly there's a difference in the experience of cooking, but once you are accustomed to that, I think equally good food can be made in either. Even if food cooked on an electric cooktop was somewhat lower quality (however "better" is measured) I fail to see how that would have a significant impact on life expectancy.
What does it mean to "know" a word? I have heard/read most of the male words hundreds of times, and probably used them myself, but asked to define them I would be either inaccurate or unconfident. For example, I know that ailerons are flaps on an airplane, but I'm not sure which ones. I know that a femtosecond is a small unit of time, but I'm not sure what fraction of a second.
The failure in the 2010s, is due to (lack of) network effects (from lack of participation), among other things. Crypto doesn't necessarily solve this but things like the Solana cryptocurrency enable solutions built on top of it.
This is super cool, but I didn't see how much energy was put into the system in order to generate the output 57 MW, and whether the output energy was all usable (e.g. could the team have actually boiled 60 kettles of water?). It'd also be useful to know how whatever energy is needed to run the machine would be expected to scale as the output is increased.

Don't get me wrong, fusion (IANANP) seems to be the best approach for long-term energy, and I'm strongly in favor of lots of research and experimentation in this area, and this seems like incremental progress. Kudos to the team!

I've always wondered about using a lottery system for public service, other than jury selection.
What’s interesting is the company on the list that is not private equity: Irvine Co.

I have been I have been in many of their apartments and know friends who live there. They always seemed very nice, well-maintained, with very helpful staff.

I wonder how much their not being a private equity company contributes to that.
I have a son, and am moderately optimistic this has peaked already.

As the other commenter said, we see different families in very different mindsets.

I have been personally affected by sexism type B: was expected to work, to be a provider someday, to pay my own way to university, if you want a car you buy it, etc. etc. My sister had the second family car at disposal and the tuition was paid for. There was this undercurrent interpretation of feminism that "women will eventually suffer so they should be pampered when possible".

There were other factors at play: I have a tendency to self-indulgence, my sister does not, so it is prima facie difficult to separate what was proper, individualized upbringing and what was sexism. But sexism was a part; many male friends of the same generation have the same complaint and some could be better off today had they have more support at home.

Then there is this relative of mine, that simply threw his daughters out at 18, since they are supposed to get a wealthy boyfriend and marry rich, so they don't need any further support. BTW they are disowned, too.

This is sexism type A, and make it a big A.

Not necessary to say this strategy did not end well: both are stuck with less-than-optimal partners and careers. We are in 2022 and a nice, wealthy and rational guy won't commit to someone without a career and finances in order.
Of course. We treat females like they are a marginalized minority.

My son’s school has a “Girls Can Code” program. All collateral features women and girls. (Boys are welcome though)

I worked at a place where a C-level executive hosted company endorsed dinners at her home for female managers to mentor them for executive roles.

If I setup a boys club for computers at school or hosted a men’s IT society at work, that wouldn’t end well.
> On the other hand, it has the potential for readers to mistake their drivel for substantive discourse.

The thing is, not engaging with them - in non-moderated communities - also has the potential for readers to mistake their drivel for substantive discourse, both by way of familiarizing them with it - mere exposure effect - and by making it appear like their assertions are not being challenged because they cannot be challenged.

That's why the engagement really needs to happen on two fronts: both on their own level - assertions met with demands for proof, unrelated or misunderstood papers pointed out as such, counter-assertions backed with proof - and on a meta level. If you only do the former you will run afoul of Brandolini's bullshit asymmetry principle, while letting them choose the field of engagement: there is a literally infinite number of bullshit claims they are able to make - be that "trans people are just incels, really" or "transsexualism [sic] is a sexual addiction, which is why epileptics never transition" - and attempting to disprove them will perforce require much more effort than it takes them to shit them out.

Helping them can be very satisfying, also. I still fondly remember that time when I decided to engage with a Nazi who was denying the existence of the gas chambers, asking them for proof, only to receive a link to a report, hosted on Nikzor, which went about debunking their own claim.
Men's comparative advantage, throughout human history, has always been their physical strength. It was the one thing a man could count on to provide value to society. That is no longer the case in our modern economy. You need intelligence, emotional intellect, and analytical skills. All of which men and women are on an equal footing at. So when you remove the ability to generate a viable income through physical labor, it's pretty obvious why a good portion of men are now left without anything useful to contribute.
Things that correlate with this decline should be done more often? How does that work?
"...rejecting guys from science classes."

Do you have a source for this?
I don’t think that was the assumption here. They were saying that interviewing someone who doesn’t want the job isn’t actual (useful) work in the sense it can’t produce the goal (a good hire).
And you would be wrong because those instruments were designed to hedge (reduce) risk.

That tail now wags the dog. The futures markets in commodities are much larger than the actual markets.

> that's the same reason piracy doesn't cost publishers anything, most people weren't in commerce in the first place.

There's a subset of users who are able to pay, and were willing to pay, but chose to not pay because the piracy option was available and convenient.

If piracy doesn't cost anyone anything, then lets scale the experiment up; lets say piracy is absolutely unpunished and totally legal. That means netflix clones spawn up, Steam clone clients are released, and all content is extremely convenient and accessible for free.

What happens to those companies/industries?
It's non-ionizing. That article doesn't say anything about health implications, just that certain cooktops may expose you to more non-ionizing radiation than they're supposed to. So do plenty of cell phones. And living adjacent to power lines. And that doesn't do anything either.

800-year-old Jin dynasty palace complex found in Beijing Olympic Village
The insane thing that people should realize about the 20T CFS test back in September was that it was them completing the first of 18 coils, and it performed incredibly well.

The secret sauce is better high temperature superconductors, and the ridiculous magnets you can build with them. They're pretty much putting these coils together as quickly as they can accumulate the HTSC wiring, and once they have all 18, they basically just need to put them all in a ring and light it up, and in theory they'll be generating over 10x the amount of power that they're putting into it.

This is the kind of tangible progress that gets me really excited. I wish there was a tracker on the CFS site to see how many coils they've completed so far, similar to tracking the progress of the JWST. Last I checked they were estimating completion around 2025, and at this pace that actually seems reasonable.
I think the point is that nobody wants to make some account, then pre-load that account with money, and then wonder what the balance is, etc. etc. etc. Yuck! If this problem is going to be properly solved, someone has to solve the [evidently very hard] problem of being able to send $0.25 over the Internet without all these accounts and without getting overwhelmed with fees from the banking establishment.

If we had a magic wand, and there were no technical, business, or security constraints, what would the ideal micropayment system look like? A button on the web page that, when I press it, sends $0.25 from my bank account to the web site. Isn't something like that the holy grail? No need to "have an account" at the web site, and "have an account" with the payment processor or pre-load things with funds or any of that garbage. I already have a bank account, why do I need a handful of other accounts all over the place?

There's the UX. I think it would be successful. But nobody has managed to build it yet.
