Huh? Thats just speculation, why would gains come from labor? Would losses go to labor? I dont see a connection.
“Pretty strong doubt”

“Probably”

“Don’t know what they’re really talking about”

Do you have evidence for these counter claims?
I switched from induction to gas after a kitchen renovation. My experience is that induction is more efficient and powerful than gas, but is also much more uneven, more picky about cookware, and does not work well with “professional” cooking techniques which were created around gas and wood stoves.

I gave induction a solid trial run and in the end, it didn’t cut it. The stupid controls design made it even worse.

Also, gas is not dangerous from fumes at all if you have an externally vented hood, which you should have with ANY cooktop, as cooking fumes are worse for health than the byproducts of a blue flame.

Whoever wrote this article doesn’t know what they’re talking about and clearly doesn’t gourmet cook regularly.
If this is what we have to look forward to when Congress eventually makes a nationwide health insurance, I’m not going to be happy
good thing it's all settled and done.
I’m 41. I’ve had countless power outages in my life. 0 gas outages.

I know it does happen but because the lines are buried it’s at least 2 orders of magnitude less likely.

Why only dictatorships?
IMO, this would be a major advantage of countertop units. Buy two or four or six or eight, store them away in the cabinet when they’re not in use and enjoy the extra counterspace, bring them out when you need them.
We also have a healthcare cost crisis. It wouldn't just be masks, it would be literally everything the hospital buys, and it would "tie their hands from getting the best price for patients" (I guarantee you a Republican would use a similar line in a campaign if that proposal went through.

A small number, yes. There is a block limit at layer1, for now. It is not 2017 and there is a an appetite to grow it when the need arises. It’s about precedent, and the longer we can go at 1MB with vbyte discounts for newer more efficient tx format incentives — the less centralized this will be in 10 20 50 years.

However it Hasn’t been a problem for years tho, blocks are very rarely full for long periods. And with layer2 protocols — we are just getting started!

Businesses can enforce their own rules and values except if it discriminates on protected classes of people. There is an existent argument that a business can discriminate on protected classes of people if discriminating follows their religious beliefs.

As far as I understand wearing a mask doesn't fall into either category so the gay cakes thing has very little to do with this and comes off as whataboutism.
You’ll never really get wok hei with induction. It’s a mistake to think of a wok as just a differently shaped pan. Proper wok cooking is cooking is actually mechanically different. It’s mostly done with the hot air that rises up the side of the wok. Modernist cuisine has a great cutaway illustration on this.

The food is constantly flipped into the air above the wok where it is heated by the extremely hot air.

Of course very few homes in the western world have gas burners powerful enough for that anyway. I actually practice on a turkey fryer.
Very cool. I would suggest implementing pathfinding with A* or a similar algorithm so that the character can walk around obstacles on the way to the point you click with the mouse.
Okay I'm just a systems engineer so certainly my material isn't as intense--fair points. I just didn't care for the explicit lack of rigor I encountered in my linear algebra class. I got a 94% and I can't remember anything.
Hundreds of billions of dollars of gold would be a decent motivation to go to war.

If Manhattan fell to a foreign power in war, it wouldn't be such a bad bet to say that human extinction would be not far behind.

Ukraine's locally held bank reserves could possibly be lost to Russia in a matter of weeks.

Plenty of countries want to increase the faith in their local currency by storing reserves somewhere which would be among the last to be lost to war.
They have the option of using state coercion should someone contest their ownership, but they're not using it right now. Even with that pedantry aside, saying that property rights leverage "state coercion" is not a good take.
Nothing like an aggressive Russia and a war in your neighborhood to kickstart your move towards energy independence. I like seeing this. We should see more plants announced across Europe as part of a push along side wind and solar to diversify energy production. Advancements in nuclear plant design and such have made them cheaper and safer, too.
After 8 years on StackOverflow, I've never seen an unexplained and unanticipated outage like this one. The humor in the twitter feed from 5 hours ago ("We’ve tried unplugging and plugging back in, but that didn’t fix it.") understates the severity of what is happening.
No it’s actually because you cook with the extremely hot jet of air that rises up over the sides! You can get that from induction since it doesn’t heat the air.
Ask HN: Are you still programming for fun?
A quick background:
I started learning programming for the sake of building stuff. Quite frankly even the ability to help in any way during the crisis in Europe by collating information on the web is a seriously valuable skill. It sounds trivial to many here, but just a small contribution like that seems like a superpower.

As a job, it doesn't seem super enticing though. I started wondering how many people actually still do it because they enjoy it compared to "out of necessity"?

Feeling of creating something out of nothing, even super simple and uncomplicated but useful feels very rewarding...

Wordle is a good example of just a simple piece of software that is elegant in its own way and was created for fun instead of drilling on specifics of making something scalable or achieving an OKR. It feels like it's a lost philosophy nowadays where everyone is chasing unicorns and money.

Where did all the fun go?
Failing to enact a Marshall-Plan-style reinvigoration of post-Soviet countries was a big mistake.

Allowing Putin to cement the kleptocracy in Russia was a big mistake, consigning Russia to decades of economic stagnation.

Invading the Ukraine was a mistake, but it would also be a big mistake to think that Western alliances with enthusiastic, innovative and productive post-Soviet countries somehow forced Putin to do that.
Granted, the cost for solar and wind fail to account for the cost of storage to accommodate their intermittency. If your country has hydroelectric dams, then that works. But for the rest that don't have the right geography for hydro, they burn fossil fuels.

Nuclear provides a path for decarbonization. Solar and wind do not, until a massive breakthrough in energy storage is invented. And nobody knows when that will happen, or if it will happen.
Gas is also universally considered better to cook with than electric
(not induction) which is presumably why every restaurant kitchen uses it. My guess is ‘sensuality’ is not even in the top five considerations when equipping a kitchen.
Yeah, and since it was obviously a troll move, they said no.
Back in the 90s during the dotcom bubble, there was a startup that planned to do things like give people free eggs with ads printed on them. I never got any free eggs and I remember thinking if you give everything away by making money on the ads, what the heck are the ads supposed to be selling?

Even without the eggs, that still seems to be a problem with a lot of the internet economy—a lot of ads seem to be directed towards getting people to visit another site here they get—more ads.
Do you think it would be wise to stick 100k sats into a cold wallet — to use in 10 years from now just in case you are wrong?

Abbott sells their Binax test in the US for like 5x the price they sell the same test for in Europe, because the FDA was slow to approve other brands of rapid tests and used questionable criteria,† so they had substantial monopoly pricing power while other vendors’ tests were restricted.

If the only way US test production can compete is via predatory price gouging, that’s hardly a sign of health.

†: The criterion was performance vs. PCR test, even though PCR and antigen tests measure different things, so that the vendors who slipped through the regulation were those who best gamed the test studies, while various other vendors with tests that perform nearly identically in practice failed FDA study criterion. The FDA refused to accept a performance comparison of new antigen tests vs. already approved antigen tests.

Of course we can complain. First, std::format is already improved, so this is moot anyway. But more importantly, std::format always caught the error & threw a well defined exception. printf() does no such thing. It has no validation that your inputs matched the format spec. std::format always had that. So does std::cout & iostreams, for that matter.

They're supposed to be used with a charcoal filter as well as the usual metal filter. They're mostly to trap odors, doubt they do much for air quality.
Can't the production be repurposed to making HEPA filters or vehicle filters in times of normality, then switch on the mask making machines during a pandemic?

Can you bill them for the lawyer cost?
I could, it would be a lot of work.

There's plenty of evidence out there that fine particulate has a significant impact on long term health.

You can easily measure the impacts of cooking by buying a particle counter and making some stirfry or burning some cookies in the oven. I have, it's easy to measure PM2.5 air quality in your apartment worse than the worse city in the world after a bit of pan frying which if you don't actively do quite a bit will linger for hours.

You'd have to come up with a model of nitrogen oxides produced by gas stoves and their long term health effects and compare them to fine particles in poorly ventilated / filtered air in homes.

I don't get your argument. "MBS said x, he was probably talking about this vague passage." "No, he was probably talking about this clear one." "Yeah but he's the worst so who cares what he's talking about." OK? I wasn't defending the guy.

>It’s not just a recurring cost with 4G/5G modems, but it’s also practically infeasible in many countries where getting a cellular connection of any kind requires KYC and related formalities.

That doesn't seem to bother Amazon's Whispernet.

Amazon has been doing this for years[0]. Free cellular access for specific Kindle devices for specific purposes. They've sold many millions of those around the world.

Granted, Amazon was generating revenue from selling ebooks, which was the incentive for providing the service.

>There’s no way these TV manufacturing companies can buy one connection per TV (and accept the liabilities that come with such a connection) or get their customers to have one.

If they follow Amazon's lead, they'll enter into contracts with global networks (Amazon uses AT&T) for bulk rates on carrying their products' traffic.

That said, it's not at all clear to me what the break even point might be on a per-device basis for these TVs, but the first search result for "WiFI/LTE chipset price" yielded this link[1]:

ZTE 4G Module LTE Wireless Wifi Board with Sim
Card Slot Mini Router PCB for IOT Camera GPS
Sensor Data Transmission

1 - 499 Pieces $17.49

500 - 1999 Pieces $15.99

>=2000 Pieces $14.99

I'm guessing that Sony, LG, Samsung et. al can get much better prices for their specific needs than some random Alibaba listing. That, and they already have WiFi and wired ethernet, so adding the capability is easily within reach.

Whether or not it would be profitable for the TV manufacturers is an open question.

I'm not saying that it will happen, just that it could.

And that would make me sad.

Google overbid this bounty by something like $4,999. The root DNSSEC keys could land on Pastebin tomorrow and almost nobody in the entire industry would need to be paged, because virtually no one relies on DNSSEC --- even the people who performatively enable it aren't actually relying on it.

This sounds like hyperbole, but it's not. That's how much of a mess DNSSEC is. Try to reason through what kind of entity would need to get paged over a DNSSEC breach, and tabletop it. It's hard for me to think of anybody who would need to care; even the people who "use" DNSSEC could wait until their next maintenance window to respond.
South India consists of fives states and one Union Territory, all with different languages, culture and culinary styles. A meal in a Brahmin household in Hyderabad will be very different to one in Chennai with probably only rice being the common feature. Curry is too generic to be a useful descriptor.

It's hard to make broad generalizations. But having been to all six divisions and having lived in three of them, I feel very confident in saying that a household that cooks three different curries, sambar and rasam for a single meal is very atypical. What GP described sounds closer to a restaurant set course meal and not something a household would cook on a day to day basis.
Enter side projects. Problem solved! :D
A quick glance at amazon.co.uk shows high-wattage induction cooktops that are relatively cheap, e.g. https://www.amazon.co.uk/GIONIEN-Domino-Induction-Hob-Electr... is a dual-burner 3500W model that takes 220V-240V (unclear if it's ok on 208V?) for £109.99 (USD$143). 60 Hz would be a leap of faith, but is probably fine.

Not $50, but still.
If a flat bottom wok works for you you’re not doing wok cooking right. But if you like the results then it’s just a funny shaped pan and nothing wrong with that.

"In response to the presence of American Jupiter ballistic missiles in Italy and Turkey, and the failed Bay of Pigs Invasion of 1961, Soviet First Secretary Nikita Khrushchev agreed to Cuba's request to place nuclear missiles on the island to deter a future invasion. An agreement was reached during a secret meeting between Khrushchev and Cuban Prime Minister Fidel Castro in July 1962, and construction of a number of missile launch facilities started later that summer."

[...]

"After several days of tense negotiations, an agreement was reached between Kennedy and Khrushchev. Publicly, the Soviets would dismantle their offensive weapons in Cuba and return them to the Soviet Union, subject to United Nations verification, in exchange for a US public declaration and agreement to not invade Cuba again. Secretly, the United States agreed that it would dismantle all of the Jupiter MRBMs, which had been deployed in Turkey against the Soviet Union."

> According to the AAP’s tracker, 871 children have died thus far in the pandemic

During the 2009 H1N1 influenza season, 1,090 children died. This was over a single season, not an aggregated count from the beginning of time, which seems to be a phenomenon unique to COVID. Until some point late last year, the CDC even had language on their website saying that young children were more likely to experience complications from influenza than from Covid-19.
Only possible scenario where this might be helpful is on hot humid summer days where the inside of the glass doors are covered in frost because some idiots keep the doors open far too long when choosing their ice cream.

Great questions! With Tensil, all computations are performed on the FPGA. In addition to matrix multiplication Tensil supports SIMD instruction with various operations. The ML activations, average and maximum pooling, normalization, and image resizing use SIMD instruction. Some ML operations, such as padding, are achieved by changing the memory layout. Tensil uses DRAM0 and DRAM1 memory pools (usually in DDR memory) to interact with the host to read model inputs and weights and write outputs. It also uses these pools to offload intermediate results between layers and between tiles within a layer when FPGA does not have sufficient BRAM, which is common on lower-end devices. Tensil compiler takes care of finding the most efficient memory scheduling for given on-FPGA memory size.
> Dependency Injection system is extremely productive

Sure, but there is a downside to it. You want to add a feature to the class that uses DI? Great, just add an injected object to the constructor. Except now a 100 unit tests broke because you changed the constructor. A 10 minute functionality change turns into a massive cut and paste operation in your Tests project.

Wait, so you're saying that DRM has become so ingrained in modern tech that if I wanted to connect a firestick to a Dumb Display(No electronics other than to drive the display), if that Display doesn't have DRM functionality then the app won't load or play content even though the firetv has the DRM?
I'm not quite convinced. It's estimated 45% of Americans have been infected. The mRNA vaccines are still reasonably effective at stopping infection against Omicron. Lots of states have been open and it's spread; what's left is lockdown-happy coastal cities, but they're heavily vaccinated. I do expect some bump, though.

China has problems. They have essentially zero natural immunity, their vaccines aren't very good, and Omicron spreads really well. So well masks aren't even close to enough. Once contact tracing is overwhelmed, China will have to do large-scale lockdowns on-and-off for a while.
Your career growth is your responsibility, you can’t expect employers to care about it.

In general employers are looking for three traits when hiring:

(1) Can do the work (technical skills).

(2) Can get along with the team (communication and person skills).

(3) Can focus (1) and (2) on meeting business requirements and adding value.

Larger companies usually have hierarchies and processes in place to make sure (3) happens, so they are more interested in technical skills and their perception of how well a candidate can work with other people. The best indicators for those are previous work experience. Hobby/personal projects, bootcamps, coding competitions, and even college degrees are possibly proxies for the desired skills, but employers have learned that credentials and participation are not always good indicators.

As another comment mentioned, networking is very important. One of the main values of attending college is the network of people you spend 4+ years with. Bootcamps should offer that value, though I don’t think that’s the focus. Over time you will find that your network of former colleagues and friends leads to employment more often than your tech credentials. Someone vouching for you or referring you counts for a lot.

Rather than aiming for Google and tech giants like them, I suggest getting some on-the-job experience at smaller companies. Lots of companies that are not tech companies need programming skills, and they are going to care more about business domain expertise and getting along in the organization and a lot less about your ability to balance a binary tree on a whiteboard. A few years actual experience will give you more credibility than hobby projects and boot camps.

Don’t focus so much on tech skills that you ignore the personal and communication skills and domain expertise.
