It's true that most induction cooktops/ranges aren't great for woks, but in principle the induction surface doesn't have to be flat -- it can be a concave shape to match the wok.

In fact these exist -- if you search for "induction wok burners" you can see some pictures. (I only recently became aware of this after watching this video of a chef who uses induction cooking in a small kitchen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ooNzRrHA9VY)

Perhaps in the future there will be cooktops that include a wok depression on the surface, similar to how some gas stoves today include a built-in wok ring.
Reality is that we have to "crush fuel" or we're all going to die.

Yes, there are hard problems. So what? We have to solve them. That's all there is.

Climate change is here. It's now. We have no more time for dicking around.
I wrote a very simple script to automatically download desktop wallpapers from http://simpledesktops.com/. I then cron'd it to place wallpapers in a folder, and Mac OS automatically rotates through the wallpapers randomly every hour. I love the idea of small, simple projects that make your life better.

Posture elicits an emotional response and ad-hominem, this (inane I think you called it) conversation being a prime example. One of the reasons people are so divided is because we tend to lazily rely on how something makes us feel rather than doing the hard work of estimating the actual impact of something.
Gas is also supplied by a set of pipelines. There isn’t a free lunch.
I don't disagree. But you didn't answer my question.

Why wait for America to change before demanding better of everyone?

We're all global citizens now. Act like it.
I did not know that induction cooking is a novelty (or at least worthy of an article) in the US. When you go to an appliance shop in France they would be 90% of the offer (and 9% gas, 1% vitro-electric).

BTW the big photo on the top of the article is not induction but vitro-ceramic (the first version of something that would look at glass and not have flames, but this is not induction, just heating of a tingie under the glass plate)

Having used gaz since childhood for 30 years, the move to induction was fantastic. The only drawback is that you cannot cook with the cookware tilted (to pour some liquid into a small puddle and heat it directly, for instance)
I'm pretty sure even back then people were aware of celestial bodies like planets & stars. However meteorites, comets, things that came close to Earth's atmosphere were probably regarded differently depending on culture, social class/status(which vastly indicated level of education),etc. Also more likely than not those events were used politically to much success. I find it hard to believe that the 'brightest' people of any ancient period weren't aware that some of these 'small' objects might hit and thus remain on earth.
I disagree with the point that Go is a big money maker for Google. I assume the implication is that Go helps make sales for Google Cloud the same way .Net acceptance leads to Azure sales. That said, in my experience this isn't true. Some of the biggest adopters of Go (Uber, Netflix, Twitch) are AWS based. The real profitable part of Go for Google is the scalability and efficiency of the language for Google projects but that's not a very effective argument to switch away from Go.
It probably isn’t, which is why you don’t see it happen much I imagine.

If the only land they have is trees, it does restrict the options quite a bit. I also forgot to mention, in most climates trees are a hassle this way, they also grow naturally, so even if you clear the land you need to go back and keep it clear every couple years.

Solar has similar drawbacks but worse - you can’t just clear the trees around where you’d put the windmills and roads, you’d need to clear pretty much everywhere including from where they would shade the panels. Which greatly increases the footprint.

Trees can of course be burned for heat and energy, but it’s a time consuming, dangerous, and inefficient process (time/land/manpower) compared to petroleum extraction. It tends to only happen for individual use, at small scale; or when heavily subsidized from taxes on petroleum products.
> For example, if you show high profit heat maps, you risk drivers flocking there and the balance of service reliability dropping elsewhere.

Isn’t that the entire purpose of the market based, algorithmically generated pricing?

If a certain area gets congested, the prices will go down and the rates should equalize based on prices.
So. I tried reading the top 100 papers in PL. Topic was so huge I had to settle on top 100 papers on language front ends. Even this was so huge I ended up settling 100 papers on parsing theory (this is really fascinating and still not a solved topic!!).

I guess how do you read 100 top papers of all time and walk away with anything substantial/meaningful beyond bragging rights?
I have experienced cheap induction tops that do that. The better ones don't. Mine you can tell it a temperature and it sticks it there, so I can basically tell it to slowly simmer a curry or stew and it does the simmering for me. I walk away for hours at a time. It's been more than a decade, so when I have to cook on anything else but that induction top, I find that I burn everything from neglect.

I'm not a parent, but this really resonated with me. My childhood was full of dumb rules that I hated. After complaining, my parents would feed me platitudes like "you'll understand and appreciate this when you're older" (sometimes with "... and have your own kids" appended to the end).

Today (at age 40) I still believe these rules were dumb and pointless, and actively harmful to my childhood development.

I do expect that, not being a parent myself, I might be judging some of these things more harshly than I otherwise would. But certainly not all things, and I certainly would have turned out just as ok (and possibly more ok-er) had many of these dumb rules not existed in the first place.

(Don't get me wrong, I still have a fairly good impression of my childhood, and I don't think these dumb rules did any permanent damage. But they were still dumb, and created more strife between my parents and me than was necessary when I was young.)

No, houses. Each "chapter" is just a page (well both sides of a leaf), sort of like The Society of Mind.

One example is (paraphrased) "find the nicest spot on the property and don't build on it, because then you'll lose it". Another is "corridors are dead spaces; you move through them, and pretty much ignore them, on your way to do something". Not gospel or absolute rules; rather rules of thumb, or ways to talk about and think about what we wanted to accomplish.
Piggy backing off of this, Blood and Oil is a really good read if you want to understand modern KSA / MBS.
Right, though I think I'd maybe use the term "values" rather than "virtues." The underlying message of these movies is that everyone---women included---should be judged by masculine standards (plus a traditional notion of female beauty). But a pseudo-feminism that imagines a world where women succeed only through a combination of feats of strength and hotness is not feminism in any meaningful sense and serves to maintain male primacy. Changing out women for men in the same old stories is not the answer; the answer is to change the stories to put feminine values on par with masculine values. That doesn't mean we can't have kick-ass women heroes, it just means that kick-ass heroes shouldn't be our only benchmark.
Nuclear reactors could modulate their output, but they would take a grievous economic hit if they do so, because most of their costs are fixed, independent of the power setting.
EDF (France) keeps building nuclear reactors around the world. Not sure whether they are the only EU company active in that market, but I doubt it. Either way, some expertise definitely exists in Europe.

Germany had spectacular delays and overruns for a new airport for Berlin
That too doesn't mean Europe forgot how to build airports.
There are 44 tons of meteorites landing on earth every day, so just finding one that closely matches isn't more than a rough guess.
Most of the pans you have already bought are likely to work. I think thin copper ones are only ones not likely to work. Most other general cookware at least here support induction as well. Including the cheapish stuff.
It's really unfortunate. I'm currently trying to figure out something in a Makefile and a lot of the answers are on StackOverflow.

Jokes aside - I understand the difficulty to adequately defend against meltdown/spectre. When the exploits were released I was running a service which definitely needed protection from this type of attack. Ironically we had just finished a set of optimizations that would have reduced our cpu costs quite nicely, the mitigations ate all those wins and more.

I guess I'm still bitter - I no longer own that system but it really frustrated me to hear that it apparently was still vulnerable to spectre style attacks.
Of course. However, my point was the originality and claim to authorship is low, because if you look at store and forward networks with centrally agreed node identification and local caching using that for routing purposes, humans have literally done it globally for 3000+ years... that's clear prior art.

It's like "technology" being used to describe a bash script, or "invention" used to describe a standard algorithm.

> As a final measure, if a seller refused to sell his goods at the stated price, the penalty was death.

So if you have something you don't want to sell, too bad? But then there's a simple loophole, too: once you've sold the thing, you can buy it back for the same price, and the original buyer, now the seller, can't refuse.

But it does?
Outside of pumped hydro, storage is very expensive. Would need something like a 15x reduction in storage costs to be competitive with nuclear.
What choice do these companies really have? They are faced with a bad move and worse move, so they've picked the bad move...
Only if you're including compile time in the benchmarks. Binary to binary, JIT is a great example of Rust having a compile-time optimization that .NET implements at runtime.
It’s not about having less money. If I’m going into town from the burbs, I have the money to pay Uber and I’m willing to pay more for one. But there are not that many people in the burbs that need to use ridesharing.

I might be poorer in the inner city. But my rides are going to be a shorter distance and there are more people.
The problem is that markets are supremely bad at building a stable electricity grid. So on one hand wind and solar are getting cheaper per MW, but it doesn't include the effect they have on destabilising both the grid and electricity markets - in fact, solar getting cheaper is probably going to cause a stop on buildout in some places, because the price of solar MW is going to be too low to deal with all the time you're not producing - either due to lack of sun, or due to curtailment.

And we do not really have any storage available - the only systems that are 1) not experimental 2) usable for anything other than frequency stabilisation; are the pumped hydro - and those are geographically limited. At least when it's windy, you can use wind turbines as sinks for stability. Intermittent nature of solar and wind is too intermittent for most industrial sinks.

Meanwhile unpredictable nature of generation from wind and solar push the grid to buildout LNG/petroleum powered gas turbines, due to their very short delay on ramping up/down (IIRC, second only to hydro). So you end up in situation where market approach to electricity is going to prevent decarbonisation, unless you hugely upend what is being bought on the market.

Personally I've been thinking of electricity market paying only for predictable (aka "dispatchable") low-carbon power plants, or at least with huge priority. Solar and Wind could still compete on such market by being paired with storage systems into Virtual Power Plants (something that already exists), and the rest of the generation would be sold on spot market during peaks, or preferably to dedicated sinks like green hydrogen production.

Usually when someone has abusive parents, they become abusive themselves.
It is a good idea that they get professional help in order to break the cycle.

>and have been intentional about not falling into the same behaviors with my kids.

This is usually the problem. You are intentional on NOT falling into THE SAME behaviors, and probably will overreact on the opposite behaviors that is as abusive as the original.

Just because something is bad does not mean that the radically opposite is good.

It is not a good idea focusing on what not to do instead of on what to do.

E.g I have seen parents that were too constrained as kids removing all limits for their children. The kids getting into bad friendships and destroying their lives as a result of the neglect from their parents.

Or someone educated as a Catholic with sexual restrictions promote sexual promiscuity on their children, with very bad outcomes.
The absolute bottom cost of a trip should be 58.5 cents per mile, which is what the IRS allows you to deduct for driving for business purposes.

And that should be after Uber's cut, not before.

We don't need to subsidize car travel any more than it already is, especially by tricking vulnerable workers to slowly trade their asset value for cash.
Wick Editor is free and the most similar to flash for javascript. It is much less known and probably has fewer features, but the setup is very similar to flash with a stage, scripts, vector animation, and motion tweens.
> Induction stoves do not glow red at all.

Which is great for safety. Yes it gets hot if a pot has been boiling for a while, but it's a far cry from regular resistive ceramic tops.

Just bringing some water to the boil is not enough to make it more than uncomfortably hot. Try touching a resistive heater top after doing that...
> Less radioactive waste than coal power plants

Less radioactive EMISSION during NORMAL OPERATION than coal plants (and I think that ignores radioactivity released in uranium mining). The amount of radioactivity in the spent fuel rods of a nuclear plant is vastly higher than that liberated by a coal plant.
Now this is a feel-good comment. Do you mind sharing one of the dumb rules that you might have been tempted to apply but decided against?
I love induction stoves, I'm always a bit sad when people tell me they dislike induction cooking.

I wish there was more granular heat control aka faster on/off switching/temperature modulation, some stoves are really bad which makes frying especially complicated as the heat comes in pulses of seconds.

Btw. for my new apartment I was wondering if there are ways to avoid scratches on the induction glass plate and turns out there are protective silicone mats, which also help against slipping. Anyone tried those yet?

From a quick glance, it appears to be inside the outermost barrier islands of Belize. Consequently, I believe UNCLOS would typically mark their EEZ equidistant from the nearest Belize coastlines (either mainland or island). Which is to say: small.

And that's even assuming they overcame the insurmountable challenge of becoming a recognized party to the convention.

Everyone wants to be a sovereign island nation, but no one wants to sit through 20+ years of UN proceedings to make it happen.
Finland has a vast and long coast that could be used to build on or offshore farms. There are also wave hydro systems and Finland has many rivers etc that could be used.

Really a choice to go nuclear. Not a necessity.

One problem I've observed first hand is that the head of customer service is measured on (among other things) the amount of money being spent on customer service (and other closely-related metrics like average contacts per order, agent time spent per customer, etc.). These executives have no direct control over the product, so they can't actually solve the problems that are causing people to contact customer service. For example, they aren't in charge of the warehouses, so if for example a ton of people are calling in because they are getting the wrong item in the orders, the CS leader is getting dinged in their metrics but can't address the root cause.

This leads them to do things like those being discussed, where they take measures to reduce contacts without solving any real problems. Maybe if "customer satisfaction" were a more important metric than "CS budget," this would be better, but customer satisfaction is very hard to actually measure (how many of us even bother filling out surveys, and of those who do, how many are honest?).

I guess a lot of this boils down to "big company syndrome" where the customer experience is controlled by a series of interlocking factors, but the humans who control those factors are siloed and disincentivized to work together to improve things. My experience is that in most of these situations, people actually do have good intentions overall. You wouldn't believe the ways I've heard CS executives twist themselves into knots to convince people that outsourced or automated customer service is actually better for the customer (and I think they truly did believe it, or at least had fooled themselves into believing it). But the end result is bad for everyone.

If it's easy enough for the average Uber driver, I'm sure the average HN reader can figure it out (because that's exactly how Uber works).

Is it? Pratchett's sword was hand-forged from meteoric iron, using fairly traditional methods and was "full-sized". (Though he used a combination of surface deposits and meteoric iron, and I'm not sure on the ratio.)
QAnon is rather like this, as other commenters are pointing out; people who believed in or amplified the Satanic Panic are present in the QAnon "faith" too.

It compares even more closely to Millerism:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millerism

... in that a series of prophecies has been made and not come true, and like the Millerites, Q believers have experienced a great disappointment and branched off into other further-splintering schools of belief around Covid vaccinations and The Great Reset.
> The solution for the $5, 45min ride that comes out of the driver's pocket is to guarantee the trip price covers a profit for the driver and let the rider choose if it's worth it. But that would mean fewer trips and lower guaranteed profit for Uber.

I'm glad you wrote this comment, but I have a slightly different solution: Uber should just subsidize the ride. Uber brings in billions of dollars in revenue – not every trip needs to be profitable for them. (Of course, not without limits; if a driver is regularly unprofitable, Uber should stop offering them trips or fire them.)
I was definitely _technically_ wrong and I appreciate the correction but, practically, nuclear fuel stored in any density has an effective half life lower than that of it's individual constituents because it's capable of spontaneous fission and sustaining a chain reaction.

It is more radioactive when used as fuel but not when handled responsibly. Which is it's attractiveness as fuel.
Much to the chagrin of economists we do still operate in the physical world and if everyone flocks to the same space and clogs up the intersection idealized scenarios about markets don't tend to do well
hmm maybe partly true since people do sometimes lose patience in the golden years, but instead I think that a lot of shades of hippy moved away long ago to far-flung and lower cost places to live. The homes in Berkeley sell of stunning amounts of money, and many of them do not sell even once in decades. Meanwhile, an emphasis on non-USA students who pay a lot, and serious competitive programs at UCB, it just makes for a lot less elbow room for fun it seems.
I guess I will try out brave search for now. I don't want to deal with tech companies deciding what information is accurate or not.

Whoa. Is that an import/export opportunity here? In EU the prices of both are comparable.
You might want to do the math. Induction is quite a lot more efficient at actually heating the food. Even regular electric is more efficient at heating the food than gas.
Nuclear won't solve the climate crisis as it's too slow to build.

Again, I cannot imagine that this could possibly apply outside of Netherlands. As long as the insurance covers you for driving abroad, and you follow the law in whatever country you're in, why would the speed limit in Netherlands matter.
