> Don't know what you're talking about.

Obviously. Talking about this is like looking at these articles, which often contradict each other:

https://www.thekitchenguy.net/best-induction-cookware-review...

https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/appliances/a28435170/induct...

From my experience:

Accurate and immediate change in cooking temperature is important for many dishes and styles. With Induction, everything is gradual and this cannot be avoided. Might as well be microwaving some dishes. Gas stove wins.

Ambient heat takes longer to dissipate from heated induction stoves which suffer from heat transfer to parts of the appliance, which is mitigated by a fan to a degree. Gas stove wins slightly.

There is a claim that induction stoves and cooktops heat faster than electric and gas counterparts. This is true if you have the correct pan and it's the vast majority of dishes that don't mind the equalized cooking surface. Induction wins slightly.

Gas stove pilot light can go out. Pretty dangerous.

Induction is more expensive and requires new cookware, pushing that further.

The "difficulty" to clean is a matter of learning. Go to home depot and get your glass scraper and cleaning solution, your Induction will be easier than your Gas...although you'll likely clean your Induction more often because of visibility.

Induction is electric. If power goes out, you have no stove. I'm not sure who's worried about cooking in a blackout, but that could be a thing in a cabin, I guess.

I think it largely depends on how good a cook you need to be. If you are looking for finer control, Gas all the way. If you are looking for safety and speed, Induction.
> Why? He dedicates huge amounts of money to worldwide public health, and is giving away the vast majority of his fortune over the course of his life. Why shouldn't I hold such a person in high regard?

We are talking about Bill Gates who because he was better at red in tooth and claw business than technology he held computing back by at least a decade.

In 1995 I was using stable 32-bit personal computer software complete with all the tooling I needed, the very best. My friends were bogged down in expensive, unreliable, insecure, and privacy violating crap DoS with a shell (Windows 95).

They were not fools, but they had been fooled. It was for business reasons that this happened. It was driven by Bill Gates (and the business incompetence of the technically competent of the time)

If he lives another fifty years giving away every cent to good causes - good on him. I will not forget what he did to my industry.
When you remove the context around statements (thread about rust concurrency), it's easy to make a statement into overblown nonsense. You may be interested in the broader analysis contained in the link from parent comment, about the type of safety being discussed in this thread, or you may not.
I hadn't seen UNLOGGED tables before, that's a really neat trick, thanks.
Focus on being fulfilled. Learn to surround yourself with people who love you. Have a rich and varied life.
What is excellence at work really worth in terms of utility? So you don't make VP or CTO or something. Think about what it is you really really want out of life.
To bring it back to cooking, there are literally TV shows based around professional and solid home cooks struggling to use sub-par equipment. The new Ramsey show is literally this. Cutthroat kitchen is the extreme example.

Heat control is one of the hardest thing for home cooks to get right, and a real flame makes that WAY easier.
Everyone just needs HEPA filtration in their home. It shouldn’t be “do this because it’s good and not that because it’s bad” but knowing about, measuring, and mitigating fine particles in your life.

Switching away from gas is one mitigation, but it doesn’t handle everything.
I guess it is not a big deal at the end of the day, but it is quite shocking to me on a certain level that this is being said here. But I guess it is just another reminder that HN is much more about the business of computers and software, and not so much about computers and software themselves, even if that can be a very blurry distinction most of the time. But here... the distinction/priority is quite clear!
>The coils on an induction take way longer to heat up than gas

I think you might be confused about what induction is, might be worth a revisit to know the difference between induction vs a traditional electric cooktop.
You do realize that a career in the skilled trades can lead to very good pay, right? Yes, the work can be hard, and the hours sometimes long, but there are very clear paths to working independently, or for small shops/contractors that provide a nice degree of independence and good pay.

I think high school kids in the U.S. should be exposed to STEM, the humanities, and the trades. We have pushed college/academic achievement long enough, and I suspect that some of the data we are seeing represents a backlash against it, particularly when you consider the cost of university and the job prospects for new graduates.
>Perhaps but Bezos, Branson, Ma, Musk, etc, aren’t the quietest bunch regarding their monies.

Well, those are also crude nouveaux riches. Heck, they even had to somehow work for their money (even those of them that got some hefty support from their parents).

As opposed to several generations of old money.
This is absolutely not my experience.

Can you share what induction stove you're using that's so great?
Yes. It looks more like engineering notation (up to three digits to the left of the decimal and the power of 10 divisible by 3).
What does knowing all of them say about me? O_o
women have been marginalized for most of modern history, so it's not like it's a false assumption... I guess maybe you could make an argument for over-correction? but a lot of women would disagree.

>If I setup a boys club for computers at school or hosted a men’s IT society at work, that wouldn’t end well.

That's because most computer clubs and IT societies are already primarily men. It's kind of the default, which is why women-only groups are seen as transformative.

If you want to look at it in a different way, you probably wouldn't have a problem setting up a group that teaches miners IT
> Being awkward around women in High School is a given, but as a thirty-something it can be profoundly uncomfortable and off-putting.

Males should be fixing that by making some female friends. Don't go the "creepy incel who hates all women and Chads" route.
OP here. Our interviewers are all senior engineers from FAANG and FAANG-adjacent companies. Average is 8 years of experience. They've also all conducted at least 20 interviews on behalf of their employer.

They're not desperate... they're doing this because they 1) get paid and 2) enjoy helping people get better at this stuff.

Happy to set you up with an account so you can get a feel for the quality.
I recently did a deep dive into buying a range hood that would improve air quality in my house.

I discovered the following things:

1. The highest end range hood sold in stores, is not that good at cleaning out air borne pollutants.

2. Nearly every range hood on the market is designed for style over usefulness. You need a large open cavity to capture particles before they are expelled, the larger the empty area in the hood, the better. Modern hoods are flat and stylish.

3. Odds are you need a makeup air system that forces replacement air into the house at the same rate it is being expelled. Without this, your range hood is basically trying to "vacuum" the air out of your house. (This doesn't apply to older poorly insulated leaky houses)

4. Range hoods need to extend over the sides and front of the cook top by a large amount. Some range hoods don't even extend out over the entire front of the cook top!

5. For noise levels, ideally you want an exterior mounted fan. The 2 high end kitchen stores I went to both worked hard to talk me out of even thinking of an exterior fan.

Doing all of these things, or even just the top 4, requires a custom system that is a fair bit of money. The $200 home depot special doesn't cut it. Even the $2000 ultra-deluxe system from dedicated kitchen store won't help improve indoor air quality that much.

Doing it properly actually costs less than the highest end pre-build vent hoods you can buy, which is likely why even the nicest stores try to talk you out of a custom build.
For some things, there is definitely room for automation, but I think more basic algorithms/programs would solve that without the complexity of GPT like AI which can be somewhat unpredictable. But huge room for simple automation definitely.
> I mean, you are cooking, not waiting and watching for the water to boil.

Of course not. It'll never boil if you watch it.

Boiling is a proxy for gets-hot-fast which is useful.
Induction uses magnetic fields. You are thinking about a traditional electric stove.
> a son would be so much harder to raise in today's world

Maybe, but today's world is not the world your son would grow up in. We're at the end of the cycle from the G. Michael Hopf quote below. The beginning of the cycle is once again imminent, thankfully.

"Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And, weak men create hard times."

Haha not surprised - ecosystem seems to be doing very well.
Real wealth is what you get to enjoy.
I am a tech nerd woman brought up in a seamstress/gardener household. Every single word I have no issue defining and using in context. However, I shared this with a group of women who are not in tech or fashion and they didn't know much either. I think this is pretty flawed.
Characterization of quack theories (1993)
hello fellow hn-ers, I also like how [company] offers this [benefit] to [customers]
I don’t know, there’s a lot of boring old dishes where boiling the water basically all wait time.

Like if I’m making real boring pasta:

1. Xm to boil
2. 10m to cook pasta
3. 3m to microwave meatballs
4. 1m30s to microwave sauce

The meatballs and the sauce both fit within the pasta cook time, so boil time is all wait.
According to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_total_w..., the total wealth of the US in 2021 (which is what I'm supposing would be subject to the inflation Zakat) was $126,340B, 2.5% of which is $3,158B.

According to https://www.usgovernmentspending.com/welfare_spending_analys..., in FY2021 welfare (not including Social Security or Medicare, which are for retirees, but including Medicaid) was $2,418B across federal, state, and local, about 76.6%. Neither Zakat or US welfare spending includes discretionary charity.

Overall, US welfare spending seems to be on the same order as, albeit a little less than, a Zakat imposed on all US wealth. Also, I'm not sure if this welfare figure includes EITC, which is the logical way that additional cash benefits should be distributed (since it avoids welfare cliffs).
I was responding to the comment calling it a hack :)

Zoom deciding to use the mic while not in use is clearly a terrible bit of behavior :)
My understanding is that it's partly motivated by rollover crash safety -- with smaller windows in the back, they can make those pillars sturdier.

That said, I'd much rather have a backup display in my rear-view mirror than a giant touch screen
I tend to agree with that piece. But what made me ask for data in the first place was my perception of the opening of your post which I read as „living in a traditional two parent household is more beneficial than being a white male“ since you mentioned race and gender.
> which is that women tend to be more interested in fabrics and fashion

So, this is actually quite a modern phenomenon. At some point in the early 19th century, high status menswear started evolving into a near-uniform (it's finally started to pull away again a bit in the last few decades), while women's clothes started going in the opposite direction, especially in the early 20th century. But before that, high fashion was very much a male-focused thing. If someone in 1750 in Europe was obsessed with different fabric types, they'd be likely to be a wealthy man.

(For an example of this, see Pepys' Diary; he goes on about fashion constantly.)
Introduce general data protection rules, then forbid data transfers to countries that cannot guarantee protection of users' data. That what's happening in the EU with US-based software.
if you have a math degree you can do pretty much anything you want. Pure math as an academic probably isn't great pay but FAANG and hedge funds will pay massive money for people good at math who are willing to learn to code
It's kind of like Pilot washing his hands though, yeah? Who do you have to ask to find out how much of your money must be given away before you're atoned? Does he also have to say a bunch of hail mary's and our father's? Wouldn't it be better to set aside a huge chunk of money to have people re-write history on your behalf after you're gone?
Turning a Todo List into a Public JSON Feed

New Nuclear fusion energy record set
As someone who was raised in the United States as male and then became female later in life, I know every word in the female-prevalent list, and my knowledge of those words can primarily be traced to either my long-term desire to be a woman or to research performed during my transition.

The majority of these terms are simply women’s fashion terms, and aren’t considered “men’s” fashion terms to the majority of US men. ‘Pessary’ is domain-specific, and I only learned that one a couple months ago, because it turns out to be essential knowledge if you’re considering your options during transition.

However, while I can say I recognize every word on this list with certainty, I can explain 100% of the men’s words but only about 50% of the women’s words. Clearly I have more work left to do on my transition :)
It absolutely makes sense. The idea that an 18 year old would start their own household is an artifact from a small period in our history when 18 year olds could easily get an unskilled job that would afford a decent modest lifestyle. But that only really started in the late 40's and was over by the 70's.
I’ve had a few visits on my solar powered Pi3b+ on a 50 mbit uplink and because it’s a static site both pi and my internet had no issues whatsoever (looking at Grafana).
Dating for the 18-21 cohort, outside of the university setting, is already very challenging. Truth be told, some of the women my son has dated in this cohort also live at home.
Let's make some back of the envelope calculation:

* World electricity production: 25000TWh/year https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electricity_generation

* Energy per Helium atom: 17.6MeV https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deuterium%E2%80%93tritium_fusi...

So per year (with a 100% efficiency [1]) you would produce as a side effect 25000TWh/17.6MeV ~= 3E31 Helium atoms.

The Avogadro constant is 6,022E23 and that produces 22.4 liters of gas, so you get 1.2E9 liters, that is 1.2E6 cubic meters. Let's round that to 1 million cubic meters per year.

The worldwide production of Helium is 140 million cubic meter per year https://www.statista.com/statistics/925214/helium-production...

[1] A 100% efficiency is too optimistic. The second law and the nasty details of the real world reduce the efficiency a lot. Let me guess 50% from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_conversion_efficiency#E... But this is good! If you waste half of the produced energy, you need the double of fusion plants, and that means the double of Helium balloons.
OTOH what happens to companies with teen users who grow up is that they lose their userbase and they die out along with other big influences of that current generation. You just don't have the time to stare at ticktock for 3 hours at 25 years old that you had at 15 years old, whether you are at the top or the bottom of the economic ladder. We see that trend in every social network.
I enjoy life in the most boring way. Just doing enough to pass a day

You sure you're not depressed, etc? Done any bloodwork or checked test/hormone levels? Eating and sleeping well?

Everyone, particularly men, have that thing that reveals their core passion - that topic/thing where they could talk the ear off anyone about it, that thing which fulfills their need to satisfy meaning and purpose.

If you're just punching the clock in life, something is off.
2050 is coming sooner than any of us can imagine. I'm glad there are people looking out on that horizon!
Wish we had more females commenting here. For what it’s worth, my wife knew hardly any of the “female” words either.
How can you properly sear a steak without overcooking the middle on a stove that doesn't get very hot?
Induction is far faster in my experience. I've worked with gas cooktops and my induction boils water at least 50% faster, if not more.
All I know is, FAANGs can get away with anything, because the supply of engineers is just that much.

There's no shortage of engineers who are preparing months and months on end, solving hundreds or thousands of leetcode problems.

There are coaching institutes, and an entire industry devoted to cracking these interviews.

The financial reward is worth it for most people.
Thanks for the correction, seems I was confused. And thanks for the pointer to post-quantum cryptography, widipedia has a nice list of algorithms.
My observation is that we are going to have a radical rebalancing of who reproduces and who doesn’t.

Lot of men and women who are generally not too motivated to seek out a companion, lose weight, put in the work to make it happen just…won’t pass on genetics.

Children are a lot of work and energy.

I’m highly introverted and high earning. My wife was the aggressor in my case. She pretty much made it all happen.

I think the ball is firmly in the woman’s court now. Women have most of the advantages (education, societal promotion, fit in better with our institutions) yet i see so many women who are generally apathetic about getting into a relationship at all.

There is also a massive obesity problem. If people have trouble getting attracted to each other versus the alternatives, makes it really challenging to find the motivation.

I wonder what all these effects will have over the next 200 years? If you play out the changing “relationship market conditions,” it seems like men and women with different personalities and dispositions towards seeking out relationships in order to reproduce will have a significant effect on the species.

Will people who were genetically predisposed towards being thin, hard working, open minded to approaching members of opposite sex and forming deep attachments resulting in children become more frequent?

On a genetic and evolutionary perspective I’m super interested - we know that IQ has been rising, but what else will change?

In some societies such as Korea I am told, women are sometimes or more frequently the aggressor. I wonder if this becomes more common.
The problem is, machine code is not the lowest level, there is also processor microcode. Machine code doesn't give you a hard real-time guarantee, the execution is still too approximate. FPGA enables you to work on/below the microcode level.
Who they are sharing it with shouldn't even matter. The act of covertly collecting it and giving users no real recourse is the problem, and what we should regulate. Turn the social networks into dumb feeds driven by explicit user choices rather than algorithms. Solve that problem, and you solve the TikTok problem.

But people don't want to talk about that. They want to ban the platforms they perceive as being used to push an opposing political agenda while preserving the platforms they themselves abuse for the same purpose. It is almost funny seeing people who directly benefited from Cambridge Analytica/Facebook turn around and complain about TikTok.

Like a lot of other commenters here, I knew all the male words and some of the female ones (which I mostly picked up after we started trying to have children or actually had them), but what I found most interesting was going down the list of words and getting stumped at exactly the spot where more women than men know the word (but now I know what chambray is!).
Vindicating a Flagged Post
How do I supply documentation to vindicate my posting relating to the Duncan Hines 1940 Travel Guide that highlighted travel accommodations that banned “Restricted Clientel” which was referring to Jews and Blacks?
I agreed with this until the last sentence. If men and women are on an equal footing, why are a good portion of men left without anything useful to contribute? I suppose this could hinge on the definition of "good portion." I personally don't think that a "good portion" of prime working age men or women are left without anything economically useful to contribute. American unemployment is currently low, hiring is up, wages are rising, and the coming AI revolution where robots do every job now appears more distant to me than it did 10 years ago.

Typo. "I was not testing their knowledge..."
Why bet against society existing in 30 years? If you're right then you make money and if you're wrong then money is worthless.

Replace money with "technology that sustains society".
I believe it's reactionary attitudes like these (why can't we have a special club?) that make tech so hostile to women in the first place. If they feel better in a space that specifically caters to women, and if by them feeling better, they actually learn the skills, why should they not have those spaces?

These are not mutually exclusive things!
It is very far from a DDOS tool. Scraping can be done from a single source, one request at a time, with self imposed rate limits. Sure it can overwhelm a server, but then so can a single user opening 10 tabs.
But if it's a disregarded entity then I thought for tax filing purposes they would need to report activity under your social security number?

The word 'boson' was in the news quite a lot for the last decade or so, due to CERN. The word 'katana', not so much.

I was shocked at how low on the list "katana" was. It's so prevalent in pop culture, from Kill Bill to The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

One of the items on the list is not like the others. In fact, I would bet that none of our rivals overtaking us now care about that item, and so far it doesn’t seem to have hampered their research endeavors.
