No one is going to have anything to do with Putin after launching a nuclear first strike because he'll be dead. Along with most of the population of Russia and a big chunk of the rest of the world too. And Putin knows this. Thus, it's a bluff.
I guess it depends on the specific cryptocurrency. I don't think the big ones would benefit. Maybe some niche ones could see some kind of benefit, but making mining somewhat more efficient isn't going to change the incentives for drive by miners that much because efficiency doesn't matter when it's someone else's electricity you're wasting.
A lot of that could just as easily be attributed to you growing up, though. Teenagers are generally cringy, weird, judgmental, adversarial and entitled, each in their own ways.

I personally had horrible experiences on LSD, and I've seen even worse bad trips and panic attacks as a trip dad, but I know it helps quite a few of my friends figure themselves out. Which is why studies on these drugs is crucial.

Keto is, at best, unknown and at worst controversial.

IM (or "timed eating") has been studied extensively and has been shown to help people control their weight. But it isn't magic. We're talking about around 5 lbs sustained loss.

The "exciting unknowns" of IM and whole-day fasting are around if it is good for your medium-long term health (e.g. blood sugar control), but jury is still heavily out on that one.

So, super unhelpful summary here, sorry. But nutritional science moves very slowly, in particular with long term health questions. Neither one seems outright dangerous.
Terrible timing for the announcement.

Currently the players and owners are negotiating a new CBA - a week of games has already been cancelled and if negotiations don't get figured out more and more will get cancelled.

Fans are kind of pissed off - so publishing this "exciting" news that is obviously very MLB friendly may backfire a bit.
>> that those same news organizations told us existed for sure

No they didn't. They reported on what US leadership was claiming; they did not claim to have seen it, did not provide video footage, did not have people in Iraq going "Yep. Right there. That WMD. Right there. Oh, also, over there is the crater where they tested it", etc etc.

Zaporizhzhia was shelled and afaik no increase in radiation was mentioned in any news I read. News also stressed that an office building was shelled, not the actual reactor.

Chernobyl there were rumors about a nuclear waste depot being blown up and subsequent increase in radiation. However, it was always mentioned that this could be due to troop movement over contaminated soil and there were never worrying radiation numbers.

Edit: I previously said the control room was on fire but can’t find a source anymore.

> The pipeline that was meant to bring their crude, the keystone pipeline was cancelled after its permits were revoked.

The Keystone XL pipeline was meant to take Canadian oil to the Gulf of Mexico to refineries intending to export it. Very little of the refinery infrastructure at the terminal end of the pipeline was equipped to redistribute it domestically. Something like 70% of the oil transported by Keystone XL would have been for export.

Just piling on with more anecdata... This is for a roughly 2k sq foot house in the S.F. (East) Bay Area that was built in the 1970s with gas heat but electric clothes drier.

Early in the pandemic, we had a period where it was unoccupied but not really shutdown, i.e. refrigeration continued and lights were on timers for security. I can call this the baseline/idle load. It was about 9.2 kWh per day and 0.3 therms per day of natural gas for the pilot lights and tank-based water heater. When occupied in mild weather, our baseline moves to about 10.2 kWh per day and 0.5 therms of natural gas with cooking and water heater usage.

Our peak highest usage for electricity seems to be about 13.2 kWh per day in a summer month with terrible AQI where we had filtration fans running and even deployed a portable A/C due to not being able to do our normal natural cooling of the house. Our peak natural gas usage was around 5.2 therms per day for a cold winter month.

Edit to add clarification: these are averages over a 1 month billing period, not instantaneous peak power etc. When looking at finer grained usage, our electricity is quite flat over time with weekly spikes when we run our laundry and dry clothes with electricity.
I think this is a feature for a lot of people. It's the perfect "same but better" phone for parents, grandparents, and other less demanding markets. All the cases and accessories continue to work as expected and the home button is exactly where it's always been.
> They're pretty obviously doing this, Ukranian forces seem to have a lot of knowledge about Russian movements.

There are direct reports of this. IIRC, they're taking raw intelligence, scrubbing it to hide sources and methods (they think the Ukrainian government is full of Russian spies), and refraining from recommending specific actions based on it (because they feel like that would cross some stupid line and irritate the Russians too much). My understanding is that they've been able to get timely updates the the Ukrainians pretty quickly.
Better yet, make them use juuust slightly yellow paint for their Z. I want to see Russian cops start carrying colorimeters to determine guilt, lol.

Nuclear fallout in Ukraine is going to affect Russia more than it affects "the west". It makes zero strategic sense to start bombing nuclear plants.
They absolutely work, but they just have significant costs and drawbacks.
Technically it's not a strike. The current incident is all on the owners. A lockout wasn't something they had to do.

Now that's not to say players wouldn't have done a strike at some point. But we should make sure the appropriate party is described.
When I first heard the term ~20 years ago, there was speculation that we would use up the easily extracted oil, and it would just get more and more expensive to produce as we were driven to more challenging sources, to the point that consumers would be driven to other energy sources. And so "Peak oil" referred to the peak of supply, as in the GP's usage. You are implying the peak will be whenever demand tops out, which technically would still be "peak oil" but not in the way it's been used for a couple of decades.
Definitely not on strike, and I think it's important to understand that. The owners have locked out the players since December of last year, and waited over 40 days before opening negotiations.
Not green spaces, as those do provide significant value to humans, and that value does show up economically too, even though we shouldn't value them primarily in that respect.

It's more about people hoarding lots of land for parking, roads for cars that are unsafe for use by non-car users, and then also vertical space above short buildings that goes unused.

Not OP, but that's a solipsistic method of "debate", similar to "your pointing out racism is the real racism". It's a way to delegitimize an opposing view by making the position seem insincere or possibly meaningless (in the semantic satiation sense).

The person using this tactic may cynically thinks its just a game of words, and the other side really doesn't genuinely hold the views they communicated; so they too will "play that game"... or to add another layer of cynicism: they are fully aware of their minimization, but want to reframe such that other readers interpret the original speaker as playing semantic games, and nothing is real.

You'll notice it a lot, once you start looking for it.

That doesn't help in anyway and in fact makes things even more ambiguous. On what basis would three "reputable" media sources report that the majority of Kyiv's regions are under Russian military control?
This is an area with so much noise that doing nothing can be immediately preferable to doing anything because that 'anything' might be suboptimal.

But something must be done - especially in a cognitively strenuous field. Exercise, nutrition, and 8 hours of sleep are the only consistent 'free-lunch' brain supplements a person can take outside of medication for disabilities and maybe the occasional sideways oriented substance depending on the person.

Most people want to be hot and feel good. A minority of people know how to make that happen safely. I think this is where software can really shine - by telling people exactly what to do, how often, and adjusting based on results. This site touches on the wide context of health in an 'easy to understand' yet shallow way. It leaves a lot to be desired (for example strength training) and will leave people better off but still deep in that sea of noise. Have any HNers had success with any apps or programs that they would recommend?
I think the sibling reply is spot on.

We've hit a sweet spot with Haskell. It's extremely efficient in both compute resource and manpower. Perfect CPU utilization with minimal memory footprint among garbage-collected languages. But you need to invest a bit into learning how to express your program in Haskell. It's not hard at all, but you just need to get used to it. You get a lot of guarantees in return. And you get self-contained binaries with a GC runtime that you can configure in various ways.

We've also had good experience with Scala, but it is unfortunately very resource hungry and Scala-native libraries often do not perform well. It's not trivial to build jlinked JREs to containerize your app out of the box. There are also issues with the transition from Scala 2 to Scala 3.

As with all JVM languages, you can bound the JVM runtime, but there's a lower threshold for a multitude of standard applications that you just can't reduce. Often you need 128-256 MiB minimum, in contrast to just 30 MiB Haskell; but for comparable performance you may need 1.5 GiB Scala/JVM as opposed to the same 30 MiB in Haskell, which you can safely raise to, 256 MiB say for improved performance.

The JRE going out of memory and crashing you app is a typical scenario if you work in a memory-constrained environment. You can stresstest your app and see when it might crash. In my experience, all our Haskell apps are very resilient. Granted, there are a couple of JVMs better suited for such scenarios, but they come with their own caveats.

All in all, we've been using Haskell for several years with JNI bindings to Java apps, and included Java code bases in our Haskell apps via inline-java. It's been a stellar experience in most cases. For some time we've also researched Scala, and decided to take this route for new projects, but unfortunately we've been disavowed by certain factors that we've recognized as inherent risks for production. And in the meantime, project Panama that improves upon the JNI FFI bindings has been advancing. So we're back to Haskell + Java with a new insights. Go is also a worthwhile ecosystem for scalable apps to explore, with its own idiosyncrasies and limitations regarding the complexity to scale.

I'd take the TechEmpower benchmarks with a grain of salt, though. They are not representative of much of what is claimed and have often been criticized. But it's the most comprehensive comparison to date. You should make sure for yourself that what you're looking at is indeed apples to apples, and not oranges.

Friedman is right that this is economic war. Which I think most people will agree is preferable to nuclear war. But the principle is the same. What democratic countries are attempting to do just now is demonstrate an economic force so great that the enemy sees they cannot win.

These companies are doing it because of the strength of feeling of their customers, employees, and owners. There were dockers in the UK who collectively refused to unload Russian oil off a tanker. Didn't matter that the govt hadn't banned it yet.

People are making lists but they're of the companies that continue to do business with Russia. And they don't seem to spend a lot of time on the list before caving into the demands.

Peak oil implies that the demand actually reached a level to justify that peak level of extraction and with a decline[1] of the production that level of demand will be unsustainable. If peak oil is reached due to a temporary situation (like a war briefly driving up demand numbers) then maybe it's not an immediate issue - but we'd never have the same supply capacity again. It could be that in the 41st century earth is still producing 100 barrels of oil a year - but that's not a useful amount.

Running out isn't the issue - the issue is that we've got an economy geared to consume a specific fossil fuel and constantly growing with a dependency on that fossil fuel - if we suddenly outstrip supply we could be left in a lurch where we have a reduced capability to run the machines that'd let us build machines that are less reliant on oil.

1. The common understanding peak - but even if things just remained level supply-side and demand grows it'd be the same outcome

From 0 day, I was shocked by Ukrainian elite twitter/facebook forces. They even continue fighting from Poland/Moldova, they never were affected by broken supply chains or blockades. I don't see any viable Kremlin alternative for this, so maybe with time they will take over and we will finally see democracy in Russia.
Russia was pretty independent on a world stage. When it's in China's shadow, the US will have one less country to worry about (not that they worried much, I think). They can just focus on China.

Yeah, but it also seems like Amazon owns the van leases, owns the repair/maintenance contract, and specifies most of the policies/operations, so there are very few parameters for cost management. It's not like they're contracting with a truly independent courier/delivery company. So Amazon offloads the risks (or even profits by them in the case of vehicle repairs) and leaves a sucker holding the bag.
