The only reason why most old CRT displays were calibrated for a 6500 K color temperature was because the red phosphor had a lower efficiency than the others.

Using a white with less red and more green and blue allowed the vendors to advertise a higher brightness for the displays.

The same reason applied to fluorescent lamps. Choosing 6500 K allowed the vendors to advertise a higher luminous flux at a given electrical power.

Nowadays there is absolutely no technical reason to use a white with the 6500 K color temperature, even if the low-quality LED lamps with a single orange phosphor still have better efficiency when emitting more bluish light, but those have a too low CRI to be an acceptable lighting solution.

Nevertheless, for the lighting of my home I do not like a too yellowish white, so I use LEDs with the 4000 K color temperature, which, unfortunately, are much harder to find than those with a yellowish 2700 K or a bluish 6500 K.

Gas doesn't go bad as fast as people pretend. Yes it has lost a bit of octane rating sitting around, but unless you are driving a 30+ year old performance engine with high compression your car isn't going to notice the loss of a few octane points. Anything within the last 15 years measures and adjusts for fuel octane rating automatically and won't care, and anything non-performance that is older was designed expecting fuel octane to be lower than what it is sold as. Also these days most places add 10% ethanol to all pump gas which has a higher octane than gasoline and is replacing some of the old high-octane components of fuel that evaporated and caused gas to go bad sooner.
According to this LA Times [0] story, the records were apparently found on judyrecords.com, a project recently discussed in a Show HN [1]

> State Bar officials learned about the posted records on Feb. 24. As of Saturday night, all the confidential information that had been published on the website judyrecords.com — which included case numbers, file dates, information about the types of cases and their statuses, respondent and complaining witnesses names — had been removed, officials said.

> ...Full case records were not published. Officials said they don’t know whether the published information was the result of a hacking incident. Judyrecords.com is a website that aggregates nationwide court case records.

edit: The "Info" link [2] on judyrecords.com has updates related to this event. It asserts that the confidential data was available on the CA Bar's own website:

> These records were all (confidential & non-confidential) previously publicly available at https://discipline.calbar.ca.gov (now offline).

it's not a loophole, the law says they have to ship via rail from a different country so that's exactly what they are doing. if the law specifies a minimum distance they will build a circular track and run the train long enough to meet the minimum distance. If it specifies track length they will just build track that long, if it specifies minimum geographic distance they will find a further port.

The law is stupid, so this is what it incentivizes, the Jones act is like a Soviet Nail factory.

My business gets credits from our vendors if we bring customers from other competitors, if it's a new customer we have a vendor we work with that provides very cheap options so we sign them up with a competitor, before onboarding them with the vendor. If the customer is with one of our existing vendors we switch them to a different one. EVERYONE is happy, all our vendor reps are making their numbers, executives are making their competitive advances, even the cheap company is making bank because none of the customers ever even use the service.
This article reminds me off that George Carlin bit on political correctness

> There’s a condition in combat. Most people know about it. It’s when a fighting person’s nervous system has been stressed to its absolute peak and maximum, can’t take any more input. The nervous system has either snapped or is about to snap. In the first world war, that condition was called shellshock. Simple, honest, direct language. Two syllables: shellshock. Almost sounds like the guns themselves. That was seventy years ago

> Then a whole generation went by and the second world war came along, and the very same combat condition was called battle fatigue. Four syllables now. Takes a little longer to say. Doesn’t seem to hurt as much. Fatigue is a nicer word than shock. Shellshock! Battle fatigue.

> …Korea, 1950. Madison Avenue was riding high by that time, and the very same combat condition was called operational exhaustion. Hey, we’re up to eight syllables now! And the humanity has been squeezed completely out of the phrase. It’s totally sterile now. Operational exhaustion. Sounds like something that might happen to your car.

> …the war in Vietnam, which has only been over for about sixteen or seventeen years, and thanks to the lies and deceits surrounding that war, I guess it’s no surprise that the very same condition was called post-traumatic stress disorder. Still eight syllables, but we’ve added a hyphen! And the pain is completely buried under jargon. Post-traumatic stress disorder. I’ll bet you if we’d have still been calling it shellshock, some of those Vietnam veterans might have gotten the attention they needed at the time. I’ll betcha that. I’ll betcha that.

Perhaps if you follow Unix philosophy, you can write such software.
If a car factory is making 1000 cars a day, a 30-day supply is all the parts needed to make 30,000 cars. Managing that is a giant, complicated, land-consuming operation unto itself, and it all has to get sorted before you can build car #1.
Nfts itself aren't the "game changer" the game changer is the combination of nfts and smart contracts, where various attributes are defined for the nfts, and they are not changeable.

In the steam marketplace, the developer can change things easily, like changing a super rare card in a collectable card game to a common card.
I believe you're orders of magnitude off.
My point is exactly the opposite, incompetent gov are a byproduct of having too much power to control the money supply. Do you think Putin will still be in power if he couldn’t control the economy, ie if he had no money? In that case, what’s the point of the sanctions?

The cicle which I am most familiar with, goes by like this: gov destroys private enterprise and free economy thru regulations and expropriations, unemployment goes up and people gets dependent on hand outs, the remaining jobs bears all the costs. Unemployed sees gov are they gods, they will kept voting for them forever, even if they live in complete missery, it is all they have.

They become a “cyst”, it is very hard to go back.
I agree with this comment because I am the same way. Situational awareness is extremely important to me.

But, with these events today, I'm being honest with myself: I live within 5 miles of a major, international US airport. Within 25 miles of a major military installation. Within 35 miles of a major US port. If I go out 50 miles, there are quite literally dozens of high priority targets in SoCal. My point being: If the SLBMs start flying, my entire world is going to be flattened by an air burst before anyone even gets a warning.

So, while I am paying active attention (more than I should) to this situation, I also know that, ultimately, worst-case scenario, it really doesn't matter. With that perspective, when I find myself looking at my social feeds a little too much or watching / reading a little too much news, I walk away from it to go spend time with my family.
> I wrote a script to apply that template to every week and month of the year. Hence $ ls ~/org/weeks/ returns the following:

You don't need this - you can use Org's capture templates with datetree type. It will then have it all in one file with appropriate headings.

Tip I didn't realize for years: Sometimes you forget to log it on the day intended (e.g. for the post-month you log it 5 days after the new month when you should have done it on the 1st day). Prefix your capture command with C-1, and it will prompt you for the date to file it as.
This is an interesting list because it gestures toward the fact that basically any first synthesis of a compound not found in nature appears to meet the poster's criterion.

It's vanishingly uncommon for a first synthesis to have been undertaken by a true team, although this can get murky recently with drug discovery software narrowing search space. Nevertheless there is always a moment when (barring alien civilization) the compound never existed, then it does: it is nearly always one person doing the chemistry, with (at most) assistants who are fully supervised extensions of his or her will.

Aspirin, for only one example, is the creation of Charles Frédéric Gerhardt.

Well, talk about not updating your info. The vision of reprocessing + breeder reactors is straight out of 1960. Several countries spent many billions and many decades trying to make it work, and discovered that it was safer and cheaper to keep using conventional light water reactors. Nothing has really changed that makes this concept more feasible.
there was an indication that YT shorts was able to be gamed, and it was unstoppable. I tested the theory and it was true for a short while, but it looks like google was able to "stop it". If you uploaded a #shorts tagged video it would be fed to everyone seemingly "at random" and you would get a ton of views and interaction. I uploaded a dumb 8 second video about the local mail truck and it got 800 views, far more than any other video i've uploaded in the last decade.

I don't know that google even actually fixed it, i think the idea that it could be gamed sort of fixed it by deluge of #shorts videos, this diluting the pool so that your video was less likely to appear at random.

This is simplified a bit; but the point is, once upon a 2008ish, youtube decided that monetization should be harder, and this was around the time that fully monetized videos were required to be 10 minutes long. This was a paradigm shift, considering that in the old days there were length limits to individual videos imposed on youtube (and google videos), first being quite short (possibly even 10 minutes) and eventually ran out to 30 minutes, and now where i'm unsure if there's even a 'real' limit on video length. I know there are some 20+ hour videos on youtube.

So in order to appease advertisers, youtube made it so content producers had to fill their time with fluff, which is why there was an adage that still holds true - on a computer, when a youtube video starts, press "3" to skip the irrelevant stuff (hey guys its... hit the like and...).

Tiktok and instagram have brought back the drive-by short videos, youtube attempted to capitalize on the short video craze (originally vine et al started the trend, but further back even ytmnd and .webm did it as well), and now it's a race to the bottom. I fully expect the most popular video by view count and impact to be less than 8 seconds long in 2022.
I guess it depends on how you view this. Almost all books are edited by someone professionally. So it's not the sole work of the author. They are also published and marketed and yada yada. If you say okay all that stuff and even editing doesnt count you still have huge best sellers that are team based works.

All those book for sale at your grocery store? They sell massive copies and are not written by the author. Douglas Preston, John Grisham, Tom Clancy, and all those romance novels... A lot of those are written by someone AND someone else. In practice they are written by someone else and they slap a big name on it to sell copies. Those books keep the literature world running even if they are not great art.

Literature already is team based.

If you live in a part of Canada that is pretty cold, I would do a lot of tests before committing to a specific car. I have a model S and while it's an incredible car, its range is about 40% less if I drive it up North. I live in SoCal though so I don't have issues.
For me it's because people already know and are already using Postman. We already author collections for services that other devs in the company reference when using our APIs.

Sure we could write the tests in python or whatever, but everyone is already using and likes Postman for the most part. And replacing the postman collections that people use for reference with a folder of scripts I don't see going over well.

I'd personally prefer something like https://hurl.dev where you have a readable file in source control, but that's not a battle I'd win at this point.
Apparently the State Bar has been breaking the law.

The State Bar announced today that it is taking urgent action to address a breach of confidential attorney discipline case data that it discovered on February 24. A public website that aggregates nationwide court case records was able to access and display limited case profile data on about 260,000 nonpublic State Bar attorney discipline case records, along with about 60,000 public State Bar Court case records. The site also appears to display confidential court records from other jurisdictions.

Under California Business and Professions Code 6086.1(b), all disciplinary investigations are confidential until the time that formal charges are filed, and all investigations are confidential until a formal proceeding is instituted.

The nonpublic case profile data from the State Bar appears to have been displayed on this public website in violation of this statute. It includes case number, file date, case type, case status, and respondent and complaining witness names. It does not include full case records. We do not yet know how many attorney or witness names were disclosed.

The publisher can take a cut from minting (creating an nft) and taking a cut from every sale, for example 30 percent first sale and then any other sale 10 percent.
I arrived at this philosophy independently, so I tend to subscribe to it. Along the lines of The Secret and manifestation, I've noticed that whatever we think about tends to happen in reality (as above, so below).

So the main difference between someone like a Buddhist monk and a former US president with a taste for gold is one of choice. The monk acknowledges that all routes to living one's best life are possible so abstains from attaching to outcomes too strongly, while the former president asserts his ego to maximize a certain dimension like personal wealth at the expense of all the others. Too much choice and we risk being ungrounded, too little choice and we end up caught in a web of our own design.

There's a great scene on the show Vikings where Ragnar says:

Power is only given to those who are prepared to lower themselves to pick it up.

Really everything is possible, and we can use our will to sidestep into other realities. But from a framework of reincarnation and the multiverse, our choices can impose on the freedoms of others, so we should be mindful of the impacts of our decisions, because others are aspects of ourselves in another life.

I feel rather strongly that most of the world's problems like wealth inequality and war stem from overexertion of the ego. People constrain themselves into corners and then project their anxieties onto others to the point where it seems like nobody gets to live their best life.
Sean Carrol addressed this in his royal institution lecture (a brief history of quantum mechanics, 37m30s). As far as I understood those universes aren't created, you're just selecting a slice of phase space of the (very big) number of possible universes. ( link: https://youtu.be/5hVmeOCJjOU?t=2247 )
This is probably a stupid question to those who work with these concepts often: can all the user data in the DB be hashed with the user’s password so that nothing is gained from a breach? Is this mostly a CPU resource problem or would would jwt architecture preclude that from working? (I haven’t built auth systems for several years)
> Also, to get this out of the way now: cryptocurrency is a scam.

Well, if you start with this premise, of course anything any person, company, government, institution, etc. does in relation to this - other than banning it and throwing enthusiasts in prison - will make you seethe in anger.
tl;dr he’s saying crypto is a scam and therefore 1Password should not be supporting anything to do with it.
> A "security" is something that has a notional value. You can buy and sell the different types of securities on an exchange.

>So it's synonymous to an asset (i.e. something of value that you are prepared to buy or sell).

That's incorrect. A car is an asset and has value, but isn't a security. The definition that SEC uses is:

>1. An investment of money

>2. In a common enterprise

>3. With the expectation of profit

>4. To be derived from the efforts of others
It used to seem to me that there was a strong libertarian tendency among computer people, at least relative to the rest of society.

I always attributed this to the fact that anyone who has ever tried to tell a computer what to do has a different kind of understanding of how hard it is to precisely define intentions, even when the compiler doesn't have a personal financial or other incentive to deliberately misconstrue your code so as to create a bug.

It doesn't matter how beneficial is the intention of your law, it'll really only work if it's generally aligned with the local cultural values -- in which case people will Do What You Mean.

Politicians either don't understand this, or pretend not to; you regularly see them passing laws to outlaw things that are already illegal.

It seems to be because this is published by an organization called “iAfrikan Media”. No indication of where that name came from but could have been a brand differentiator.

Even worse, the precedent-based legal system is quite crazy itself, especially to those who lives in the continental legal system. Instead of patching "code" (law) to new times and sometimes removing parts of it completely, the former uses age-old execution artifacts (court decisions) to determine future execution. Not only it bloats "code" with a truck load of pattern matching branches instead of using a lean algorithm, but it also makes it much harder to consciously evolve the system, which is especially important in the current times.
Algorithms can also learn without examples
It's disappointing to see so many people arguing all crypto is a scam by saying it's been written about exhaustively and then linking to a gigantic list of articles written by people making the same mistakes over and over. People are having a very hard time distinguishing "this has properties that have attracted lots of scammers" from "every project is a scam."
Very related to this, I've been trying to relocate a video about "making a sun in a box" where the creator does the following:
- goes over power and lumens, basic wiring for a bare LED.
- details how the color of light matters.
- instructs how to measure the focal length of a fresnel lens for parallel light rays.
- how to make an appropriately sized box that can be stacked in both directions to crate a "window" effect.

I've spent tens of hours trying to relocate this particular video; I thought it was a "DIY Perks" video but either he deleted it or it was someone very similar. It's so similar to DIY Perks' projector project and satellite dish sun project that it's uncanny, but it's neither of those videos.

If anyone knows this video and has a link I would be appreciative.
I work on small scoped things too, so I can relate, but in some cases, when learning a thing that is really "new" for me it can be challenging to digest and really absorb it can take quite some time until it starts to tangibly influence what I do in my day to day. In some cases even months. I think learning and problem solving are very related. They need nourishment, a proper amount of time, playful and focused/stubborn phases etc.
Plenty of people have already done such things. It's more likely to succeed if you do it out of curiosity.
My point had nothing to do with energy prices and CO2 tax would not change the fundamental calculus faced by insurance companies.

Wouldn't this immediately put all of Europe into a state of war with Russia? (Assuming it was accepted now, before the end of the Russo-Ukrainian war)

Edit: I have looked it up and there are several precedents for a country joining the EU while opting out of defense[0]. However this would be the first time the EU would be in the position of wanting to refuse mutual defense, rather than the individual country wishing to opt-out.

I implemented my own NoSql database for Crossline which supports an efficient storage and traversal of outline items (see https://github.com/rochus-keller/Udb). Even if there was a dedicated API in Emacs/Org-mode it's still file based text buffer interpretation and management behind the scenes.

I'm pretty sure there’s a Michelin star food cart in Asia that is like $3/plate. Not every Michelin star restaurant is an expensive French experience.
But since the EU doesn't have an army of its own, what would this change? I am praying for whatever is the most peaceful approach to keep Ukraine a sovereign nation.
I can not see, technologically, how we could have a functioning 100% renewable world today. I can see this with nuclear. It's that simple. That is why I'm backing anything that brings more nuclear power online.

Regardless, it's not either nuclear or renewables. It should be a combination that works.
Thanks for pointing that out. I've updated my comment to be illustrative rather than corrective.

This is cool! As someone who's into fine dining, a few thoughts/tips for people starting out:

1. Don't go into a michelin level restaurant expecting "well it's expensive so it should be what I normally eat but better", think of it as its own category of food, that happens to have a really high buy-in price. Lots more crazy flavors, presentation, exotic ingredients, etc. It's not that it has to be 'better' than the best $12 bbq joint you've ever been to, just different.

2. Many very high end restaurants have great lunch deals, which can really cut the price to try them.
