Actually many places with real competition, near production and very little regulation in the U.S. did have $1.00 or so gallon gas, i.e. much of the south and near energy producing areas in LA for example.

I wouldn't be surprised to find out that gas retailers in California would continue to price their gas at ~$5.00 a gallon when they don't actually have any to sell (or conversely, aren't selling any at all) because of how inelastic and regulated the supply is.

Everyone in CA that I know is ready to be done with gas. Regrettably, Californians also pay some of the highest costs for electricity (more expensive than HI[1]) so we're out of the frying pan and into the fire. Nothing more American than regulatory capture (looking at you SDG&E and CPCU)

By the way, is it right to call these free sets "open-source". From the GPL:

> The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it.

Unless the designers from Streamline are working directly with the SVGs, which is possible, but unlikely. To be truly open-source, it would have to include, for example, Illustrator files.

Otherwise, it is free, libre, permissive or just open. But I wouldn't call it open source unless we have the source.

It’s sad that majority of people hit the gym or go for a run when they want to lose weight. Without diet it’s pointless. But what’s worse, diet change is also about finding a new balance that fits your body. If you start exercising at the same time, you are throwing your body drastically off current balance and it’s probably much harder to find a new one.
Anecdotally, I have absolutely ran off a bad diet. I burn ~150-250 calories a mile and have ran off 2000+ calories to eat what I wanted with no discernible increase in weight. Did this for years.

In hindsight, it’s much easier on one’s knees to adjust your diet.
OPEC oil production dropped off a cliff after things shutdown in 2020, so the supply did not remain high. At the same time, at least a little demand shifted rather than disappeared by increasing home deliveries of goods and services.

In the US, gasoline prices still dropped about 30% off their most recent pre-covid prices.

There are also fixed costs involved with transporting gasoline, running a gas station, gas tax, etc that will not change much with supply & demand.

Given all of this, gas prices seem to mostly correspond to what was happening: production plummeted, demand plummeted with some modest shifts, and so prices at the pump dropped by a relatively modest 30%.
How are you able to make such demands given the current market? Every single house on the market has atleast 4 offers...atleast here in SoCal.
> Now that some compliance requirements like FedRAMP/FIPS and PCI are starting to require TLS1.0/1.1 disabled

PCI required people to stop using TLS 1.0 in 2018 which I know feels like maybe last week but it was actually four years ago.

If Security really is #1 then "TLS Session Resumption is now actually safe" (in TLS 1.3) feels like a big win, while "This BluRay player can't connect to my brand new service" feels like a comparatively tiny loss. How recent do you reckon the trust store is inside that BluRay player? Five, ten, 15 years old?

Which was one of the several points raised on the discussion at the time along with the idea that it would only embolden the address speculators trying to use the waitlist. The theory was that the speculators would go to the trouble of making shell companies or "gaming" a transfer as part of a merger-and-acquisition, while so-called legitimate users would either not bother or would just go to the secondary market from the beginning.
I haven't tried the yoke, but I'm awfully skeptical about its utility. Maybe they adjusted the turning ratios, or made them non-linear to compensate.
>Soyuz is the only rocket that has flown much more than 100 flights

Falcon 9 has had 140 flights of which 138 were successful, but that includes 1.0 and 1.1 which were significantly different early designs. It's had 120 flights for F9 FT, all successful (though over 111 flights ago one was destroyed in preflight testing). It's arguably the safest rocket system ever made [0].

That said, Starship should easily surpass it. It has more margin to work with and will run at a much higher cadence with much more opportunity for refinement and testing.

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted. That is literally the thesis here, that calorie expenditure is essentially decoupled from exercise.
Rereading the same loop more than once is not a good use of time. A generic function can be named and reused forever.
Okay so I've been programming for many years, work at a well known company and all that. But when it comes to writing tests and designing my code (OO or FP) I still am not sure what the best way to go about it is. There is so much contradictory and sometimes just plain confusing advice.

Mocks vs stubs vs no mocks. Integration vs Unit vs End to End tests. TDD vs no TDD. OOP vs FP.

Grey beards of HN. Where do I learn the best ways to do testing ? I am happy for any kind of pointers. Whether they be books, talks, blog posts or code bases. Anything outside of the usual examples would be doubly welcome.
I have scanned the comments, but I have not read the article. The title begs an imponderable issue. There is energy used in making every thing we import and in every thing we export. This invisible energy can be shipped back and forth multiple times. How do you add all that up to achieve an answer?
Fusion definitely has long term economic advantages over fission. The fuel is the most plentiful in the universe and the energy released from fusion is much higher than fission.

The chart here shows the energy difference pretty well:
https://www.nuclear-power.com/nuclear-power/fission/nuclear-...

More fuel + more energy from fuel = superior for most uses long term. If we pull it off.
What. The. F.

New level of appreciation. Thank you.
> Falcon Heavy is again evidence of this.

Not necessarily. I'm not a rocket scientist or economist, but it is possible that FH is less cost-effective per kg on LEO than F9. You need to accelerate three boosters to several thousand km/hour and then to decelerate them to 0 km/hour at ground level. And then to do all the maintaining on those boosters, which takes about a month. Does it allow for 3x payload?

There are other potential issues, like a volume: a payload is not just mass, but a volume too. It needs to fit into fairing. Adding two more boosters doesn't increase available volume.

> I still believe it'll take quite awhile to match the economics of an F9 launch

Musk says that he relies on Starship launches to make it work reliably as expected. And yes, I believe that it will take years. Maybe it will be faster than with F9, but not an order of magnitude faster.
In some cases? I'm literally asking for a specific word to be included no matter what; how could it be irrelevant to the quote used to describe a page?
The sibling comment explains it too, but here's a simple description: The object still has a geometric definition, it just isn't a mesh. It has equations describing the curves. Yes, per pixel, using the curve geometry, you calculate where the ray intersects that curve, and at what angle to figure out the deflection from there.

Think of a simplification in 2D. Sunlight comes from directly vertical above a sine wave. For every x-coordinate where you cast a sun ray, you just need the slope of the sine-wave at that x-coordinate to calculate the angle for what will happen at the intersection.

A mesh isn't any fundamental unit of physics or geometry, it's just our customary way of approaching the rendering to get good-enough fast-enough results from our current hardware.
I don't understand the love of email. It's little pieces of conversations that get sent around in an ad hoc way.

I can imagine a scenario where a glowing trait results in higher rates of reproduction because of sexual selection, resulting in large populations with the trait, even if the trait might increase mortality rates. Especially so if selection against the trait stems from something like learned behavior of predators.

Evolution doesn't mean that "bad" genes can't spread.
Yeah. Cyclists in the Tour de France typically eat 5000 calories a day, often more in particularly difficult stages. Obviously none of them have a weight problem.

"Fun" fact: they also shit themselves on the bike. When you eat that much it's inevitable you're gonna have to poop it out, and it's a race -- you can't stop.
The military wants a C-130 payload anywhere in the world in 1 hour. Military up the wazoo in contracts. Militarization of space is inevitable, they'll want bases up there. If the payload costs are true for starship, they'll put big ones up there.

Starship will represent a total paradigm change in space superiority on economics alone. I'm surprised China and Russia aren't loudly complaining about this. It would enable an actual space fortress to some degree. 10 billion dollars for a 1000 tons of hardware in space? Um, that's less than an aircraft carrier.

An aircraft carrier is 100,000 tons...

As stated, space tourism will be HUGE. If 5g/ticket is true, I mean, who on hackernews wouldn't go on that trip? Even if 1% of people in the world take only one flight that in our lifetime that's 80 million people.

How many people want to do the Red Bull parachute from space? I would guess: A LOT.

Just wait for the private Starships. Hey they should be cheaper than megayachts. Show up at starport, anywhere on earth in an hour.

My biggest dream: starship payloads to get a moon-launched 1.5 million ton Project Orion pulse nuclear ship. That is serious equipment payload to do real asteroid mining. One heavy metal/rare earth metal asteroid will pay for that round trip.

But really, I'd argue we just need to enable:

People who hate to fear monger sure tend to horde guns, it's almost like they're afraid of something, so they have all these guns for protection... if there wasn't anything to fear, there wouldn't be a need for guns other than maybe sport/hunting related.

If they're not afraid, then maybe we can also start spending less on military and police because the world is safe-enough that we don't need to waste so much $$ on police force, etc... which often are the ones creating or escalating problems in society.

People love to blame BLM for destruction of property but guess how many riots there'd be if cops weren't allowed to murder people and get away with it, a hell of a lot less or if schools taught about things like the bombing of Black Wallstreet...

It's definitely a double standard... don't fear monger unless it involved a bigger police state for our protection, more guns - also for our protection, or bigotry (who to be afraid of and why...)...

Another commenter claimed science is often off about climate but lately I've been hearing how they're only wrong in that they under-predicted because to actually tell the truth is to scare the shit out of people and start panics or piss off business interests that pay money to the universities where they work, etc...

> Exercise doesn’t help you burn more energy on average

I have a problem with this hard statement based on the data because:

> He realized he had to go back to basics, measuring the calories expended by humans and animals walking and running on treadmills.

> He backed this up with a new analysis of data from another team’s study of sedentary women trained to run half marathons

I've always heard that humans, due to our upright posture, are extremely efficient when it comes to walking and running and so if you want to increase you calories usage via exercise you should lift weights as we are much less efficient at this. I have also heard it will would increase your resting calorie usage as well due to repairing/reinforcing the muscle. I will note calorie management has always been heavily emphasized to me: "you can't out-run a fork"

Perhaps that is wrong and a good data based analysis would disprove these common gym tropes I've heard but from my read of this article they only "bust" the morning breakfast channel myths of burning calories.
By employees it’s the largest, though if Walmart bought McDonalds they’d have more employees (and perhaps as many chemical weapons).
I think the game is more open ended than that, there are multiple possibilities for each row. Some are more strategic than others. Like others I found the game itself more difficult than I expected, but ultimately playing from the strategic perspective I’ve heard expressed by others was what let me play through.
> If you start exercising at the same time, you are throwing your body drastically off current balance and it’s probably much harder to find a new one.

This is for sure a [Citation Needed] claim.

Exercise has been shown in numerous studies to be health protective and also to be muscle maintaining.

I would love to know why you think exercising is not a net positive. I expect that greater than 99% off doctors, nutritionists, dieticians, and anyone else involved in human dietary health would agree that you should start exercising now if you are not already exercising, regardless of your diet (and absent specific contraindications).

Doesn't this mean that non-blocking reads from /dev/urandom can now potentially return -EAGAIN (at e.g. very early boot time)? I think that's enough to subtly (nondeterministically) break userspace, in the short time window the entropy pool is not seeded enough, even if (C) and (D) do not hold.
Was about to recommend this, too. Newport's description of the "hyperactive hive mind" is almost dead on what this author is calling "Slack-mania". And Newport shows this is much bigger in scope than just the introduction of Slack or MS Teams. New technologies have repeatedly created way too many points of communication now that it's so easy to, well, communicate with anyone.

I found his observations about needing to separate specialist time from support-style time to be very intriguing.

> Finally, it's amazing to me as a programmer how commercial minded designers are in tech. It would never occur to me to create a programming library where you have the 'basic' open source version and the 'optimized' commercial version.

Open-core (open source with enhanced commercial version or commercial first-party add-ons) model is not uncommon in software (libraries, applications, etc.)

Neither is having a downstream commercial derivative vendor being a major contributor of work and resources to an open source project, which is essentially the same thing. (e.g., EnterpriseDB & Postgres.)

It's not something that the design industry does but software doesn't.

It's a question of what your baseline is. It seems OP may have had (say) a 3500 calorie diet as a baseline, then started exercising, perhaps burning an extra 500 calories but now consuming 4000 calories to feel normal. In your case, it sounds like you had a lower baseline--let's say 2500 calories. You may have consumed as much as 2000 additional calories, but you ran it all off--your comparatively lower calorie count was what felt normal to you, and what you made a habit of aiming for.

Compared to Slack (on Windows), Teams is decent. Slack freezes many times a day for me, misses important notifications, and sometimes just crashes.

Pure water definitely will. A YouTuber did a video on it, and he tasted a very small amount. At first he didn't think there was a problem, but then he added to the end of the video to NOT do it because indeed, he burnt the crap out of his tongue with just the tiny amount he sampled.

Thank you, and thanks for the suggestion. Yes, it should be possible to keep the SC2154 check. I probably just disabled it as a quick fix when first started out. I'm tracking this in https://github.com/HenrikBengtsson/shellcheck-repl/issues/15.

> You'd also want to take into account special variables like $RANDOM and $HOSTNAME, but that's pretty trivial.

It seems like ShellCheck is already aware of these special Bash variable, e.g. 'echo $RANDOM' will not trigger SC2154 (or even SC2086 that otherwise asks you to quote variables).

My team just launched a product on Tuesday designed to solve this exact problem.

Email has a better threading model than Slack, but email clients lack the realtime features needed for synchronous collaboration. So we're trying to fix. The idea is to let you do long-form, async and short-form, synchronous communications using the same tool, and to do it over email so you can still talk to anyone.

This is purely anecdotal, with a sample size of one even if it is right, but it seems to me, personally, that exercise suppresses my appetite to some extent. I can't say that this is even real, but if it is, my best guess as to why this might be is that the exercise subtly stimulates/irritates my gut such that I am de-motivated to eat, either by feeling full or subliminally 'sick to my stomach'. After running a marathon without proper training, it was a couple of days before I felt like eating anything.

I am not intending to dispute the fact that you ate more to compensate - you say you did, and I don't doubt it. Nor am I doubting that weight gain is a function of net caloric intake; it is just a suggestion of another way exercise may affect this.

FWIW most of my exercise is running, hiking or kayaking. I am not sure (or perhaps that should be 'even more doubtful') that kayaking has the same effect.
