There are more commercial versions available but they do tend to compete at the higher end of the market. Induction is a specific choice you have to make here and people who make uncommon choices tend to be in higher budgets.

It will probably change soon though. A lot of laws are being proposed to not add new gas hookups for new construction. Induction will have to become the higher end default for electric ranges.
Ah, I see. Thank you kindly!
I don't buy it, sorry. Electric ovens are garbage, and there's no such thing as an induction oven. Most of the health concerns are probably solved by requiring the installation of range hoods.

I don't believe the claims about burning natural gas being the causal factor here either. I rather think that culprit is aerosolized oil, and houses with gas ranges are simply more likely to cook with oil at temperatures hot enough to aerosolize it. I think this conclusion is reasonable at least because people who like cooking also are more likely to be more comfortable with cooking at higher temperature, and also are more likely to prioritize cooking with gas when considering homes.

The most salient argument against gas is not that it's worse than induction. In fact, I think it's pretty obvious that they are complimentary, and that gas is more universal. Instead, it is that piping natural gas to houses requires maintaining enormous amounts of infrastructure.

I will happily purchase a stove that contains some induction and some gas, and even prioritize the induction whenever I can. But the argument that induction is "better" is made by people who do not spend a lot of time in the kitchen. Induction cooking has existed for a long time. Restaurants have largely not made the switch for a reason.
I saw this company (Cooler Screens) pop up on a job board and I really really did not get it. What problem is being solved by replacing a clear panel with a tv screen only to have to track inventory using shoddy computer vision? Are they trying to save energy by preventing excess opens/closes? Customers already do not trust the “In Stock” status on stores’ websites, if they see an item out of stock on the screen, they will open it to see for themselves and there will be instances where the customer was right to look, further reinforcing this behavior.

This entire product seems like a thinly veiled effort to push more unwanted and intrusive ads. The technologist in me wants to believe there is more to this so I would be happy to be proven wrong, if anyone else has some insight.
I view advertisements as the second hand smoke of the modern age. In theory ads are only placed by the consent of the space owner, but in practice they serve to pollute our environments in psychologically harmful ways, in the same way second hand smoke pollutes our physical environment.
The original comment we're discussing is: "comparing anything done sitting at the computer to the Navy SEALs is risible".

Some of the work done by Navy SEALs literally does involve things done sitting at computers, so the original comment is directly contradicting itself, and is therefore incorrect.
The most obvious is that rods naturally fall into water now, which dampens the neutron exchange to a stop, which works automatically in case of power cut (The rest of improvements are about preventing water from overheating and forming H2, and preventing H2 from overpressuring the chambers or exploding, which happened in both Chernobyl and Fukushima).
You haven't seen nice MVC middleware pipeline configurations with a decent number of services (DI).

Depends what your energy source for heat is.

That is the sad truth. It is absolutely maddening the control schemes on every induction cooktop I've used. It's like an 80's car dashboard and radio. Nothing is obvious or makes sense--the most simple action like turn up the power is a complex process of multiple presses, different modes, etc.
I don’t have any problem with the idea that .net is a fast, capable, modern language suitable for many purposes.

But I had to laugh at their example that “crushes” (why the embarrassing phrasing?) node.js.

Why, returning plain text is as simple as declaring a private “PlainTextActionResult” class that implements the IActionResult and the IActionResult method ExecuteResultAsync, creates an HttpContext.Result, sets the status code symbolically and the content type textually, manually calculates the content length, and returns an asyc Task object!

“Crushed it!” (with Enterprise-y code).
The “bare minimum” trope has to die.

It never adds anything meaningful to a discussion. Most often, it’s used by someone with little or no experience with a role or responsibility judging someone who is trying to carry out that role, however imperfectly.

That was funny.
There is a theory which states that if enough people discover how to use the World Wide Web, it will disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states this has already happened.

It went through the whole progression from “it’s not happening” to “it might be happening but it’s not a big deal” to “it’s happening and you deserve it” in just a few paragraphs. Impressive.
Ductless heat pumps are more efficient at heating than alternatives, but there's a floor on how low of an ambient temperature they can handle.
They need not, but manufacturers and home builders are obnoxiously fad focused.
it's the cookware. move it around a bit. you can also try using a paper towel in between the hob and pan. (haven't had one catch fire - before you ask :))
Agree + acknowledge. It's an arbitrary constraint however, to imply that any comparison to SEALs must be based upon physical prowess.

Why should metaphors referencing the SEAL's mental tenacity, their problem solving abilities, their dedication, their principles, their protective role, their place as an agent of conflict, not be equally valid?

Of course they are, and it's only those who put an overemphasis upon physical prowess (at the detriment of all else) who are offended by the author's metaphor here.
The legacy taxi industry blazed the trail (at least in the US) with their own arrangements with drivers. Drivers would lease the cab by the day and receive non-binding (but useful!) dispatch instructions. And taxi companies argued they were independent contractors too.

Anyway not for longer than hoped. And, if approved, not built anytime soon, as the cost will still be much more than for renewable + storage, at that time. Those latter costs are falling faster than ever.
The original source was probably a front. This new source is better, but their source is Russian State TV. I would be interested in whether the law actually exists, and if so whether it is really applied consistently without exceptions for 'special' people.
I worked on a digital signage product back in the early 2010s that used OpenCV to track consumers using facial data. Those front facing sensors are cameras.
Don't you want an IDE to navigate through the code (go to definition/implementation, find all references, etc)?
This was my experience as well. Very finicky surface that required the pan to be in exactly the right place, and touch controls that were a pain in the ass to use. And we were cooking Chinese food, so no woks. I'll stick with gas, myself.
> I got a flat bottom wok

There is no such thing. A round bottom is a defining feature of a wok. If it doesn’t have a round bottom it isn’t a wok by definition. A round bottom is essential to how a wok is used.
Another commenter linked a nature article with the top 100 papers by citation, and they start by pointing out that a bunch of Nobel-winning work didn’t make the list

Senior SE working in a company which has its services built almost exclusively in .NET. C#/.NET is not a major contributor to our expenses - the language of choice could've been Go, Rust, Python or, god forbid, Java - just replace Rider or VS Code with IntelliJ or other tooling and use a different base image when deploying to k8s. If you use MSFT products you might be incentivised to use C#. However, there is no incentive to not go C# when you use something else. I also found OSS process for the core libraries and runtime to be very inclusive - everyone can contribute as long as the change produces measurable and meaningful improvement serving interests of a wider audience.
Luckily Putin would never capture a nuclear plant.
Totally agree. My mom might get roasted for the few times she swatted me on the ass, but nobody would say a word about her moving my brother and i to a place five hours away from our dad and huge extended family. I would take the former every day if it would have prevented the latter.
I don’t get why they would use opaque screens. There are transparent glass screens now, Disney uses them all the time. You could see inside and still display graphics on the glass. Fuck man…
This reactor was designed/partially built by Framatome/Areva/EDF/whatever the ownership structure is now after the various Areva scandals. Siemens erected the building. Same design as the Flamanville plant that's still not finished. Two reactors vessels shipped to China also from the same design. Time delays (took over 7 years to construct; original plan was 4), structural issues in the reactor containment vessel during manufacturing due to shoddy work by Areva and substandard alloy quality delivered by the Areva subsidiary.

This is also the nuclear plant (Taishan) that was in the news last year regarding damaged fuel rods.

That's the output from the experts in France so far.

Areva was basically shuttered and written off as a loss during all this. A part of the company only still exists as part of this Finland deal.
Didn’t that happen in the early 2000s?
If you were smarter you would recognize that in many cases there are substantial financial rewards for good grades. And many classes are curved. It's not just wrong its evil to screw other pre meds for example by cheating. Of course you are obviously right its good to work together on problems, but what does that have to do with exams? Obviously in hard classes everyone could in fact would "work together" with the top students.
Technology -- there was a submission just today currently on the front page:

"Lasers could cut lifespan of nuclear waste from a million years to 30 minutes"

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30652334

Obviously this particular idea is still blue-sky but as technology improves, I'd like to think we'll be able to solve problems like this within a few decades.

(although I'm still waiting for my Mr Fusion, Flying Car etc).
But what did the other students the class do? If almost everyone in the class did only one, the professor would have to give almost the entire class 33% for a mistake he made.
Sun can be predicted. Not sure what the reaction time is and how far ahead we can reliably forecast wind, but even if there is zero response possible to wind fluctuations that still seems like a win. Afaik fuel is also not the biggest cost in nuclear so estimating on the high side might not be an issue (but this is admittedly where I veer into speculation).
This happened to me and I found the practice extremely deceptive.

In California it is nearly impossible to find therapy or similar services that don’t charge much more than the per service maximums allowed by Anthem Blue Cross (and likely others).

This is primarily about out-of-network care, but good luck finding a competent therapist in-network in the Bay Area.

For example, the max paid for a therapy visit might be $120 while the providers typically charge $160-180/session.

On my plan, out-of-network providers were supposed to be 70% covered but I only learned after the fact that coverage was 70% up to the plan max for the stated service.

How was one to know the plan max per service? Therein lies the trick, they won’t tell you until you are on the plan and even then you cannot simply ask for a list of limits by service. You have to ask one by one after you have already committed to the plan.

The plan providers do not proactively disclose even the existence of these per service limits during open enrollment, and certainly not the detailed limits.

The plan providers continue to do this year after year despite knowing full well that their limits are well below market rates. As a result predicting out of pocket costs for therapy or other mental health services is next to impossible.

It feels fraudulent and deceptive even though I suspect they have excellent lawyers who keep them coloring just inside the lines so as not to get sued.

Still, I sometimes wonder if a class-action lawsuit might be the best solution.
> Cooler Screens says 90% of consumers it has surveyed prefer its digital screens

To waking up in a bathtub of ice missing a kidney, maybe.
It's not just the energy cost, but also the classic problem with IoT: is the company willing to stay on top of security patches and maintain the underlying software? If not, then it's only a matter of time before the software is either abandoned by the company rendering the screens useless, or compromised by hackers to display beheading videos all over the frozen foods aisle.
> unplug their chargers after their phone is charged

To me, that’s a flaw of the charger if it keeps working when no device is connected.

As for TVs and others, we need to mandate a front-facing power switch, because most TVs/devices don’t have one anymore.
We (Finland) are probably not going to move towards electric heating to any significant degree. Currently direct (resistive) electric is already the most common means of heating in single-family homes and other low-density residential buildings. Heat pumps are fortunately becoming popular especially in new development, and with them a significant reduction of electricity use compared to direct electric.

For condos and apartment buildings by far the most common method of heating is district heating (teleheating) [1], and historically this has been very carbon intensive, even though cogeneration of both heat and electricity in one plant is quite efficient (efficiency > 80%; most Finnish thermal power plants are cogen). Fossil fuels and peat are being replaced with more sustainable (mostly wood-based) fuels, but attaining the emission goals requires burning less fuel, period, which means technologies like geothermal boreholes and large-scale heatpump facilities.

SMR nuclear reactors, if they ever become mainstream, would be an excellent source of clean heat and electricity for cities. Current nuclear power plants are located (by design) too far from cities for it to be economical to pipe their waste heat to where it's needed.

I just have to be pedantic and say that what you are describing is the very opposite of PWM, which runs at high frequencies (e.g. 30kHz), varying the duty cycle over the tiny slice of time. The only problem with good PWM is audible harmonics, usually only children can hear them.
You're missing the point here. Ideally the 3rd gen kids will grow up to realize their 2nd gen parents made reasonable decisions even though they disagreed as kids, just as the cliché says (and like so many testimonials out there).

e.g. If gen 1 only used witty condescending remarks to teach their children that they're dumb, then 2nd gen can realize that this severely damages their kids' self-esteem. If gen 2 recobers from that abuse they may choose the path of taking their kids serioisly even with their shortcomings. The 3rd gen might take some kind of offense in that but there is less of a reason to grow in resentment towards gen 2 while they raise gen 3.
And they learned a valuable lesson that it's okay/normal to terminate relationships with you.
> Forced labor in Xinjiang has made headlines in recent months, but in reality, it happens everywhere in China.

And beyond.

The question is more about the conditions of work/live in the prisons.

And at least some of the US prisons don't look so much better. Better sure, but by a to small margin to be proud of it.
Top reader comment seems apt w/r/t the pollution aspect anyway:

As a scientist (an immunologist) who leads a research lab on lung inflammation including asthma, the cavalier attitude Times columnists have toward scientific references in their articles is appalling.

RMI is a thinktank with an agenda. Not a research institution. And Brady Seals is not a scientist. Note the lack of PhD. She has an MBA and has never worked in science. Nor did she 'author a study'. She authored a REPORT. Which is not peer-reviewed and not published in a reputable journal.

As an immunologist I assure you that scientific evidence does not indicate that 'increase of asthma is on par with living in a home with a smoker'.

And frankly- just walking outdoors in NYC you're exposed to far higher levels of lung-irritating pollutants than you are cooking stir fry on your stove. But that doesn't fit the agenda the Times is pushing with multiple induction stove articles lately all focused on bogus health effects and the (more legitimate) climate concerns.

"The items on display don't always match up with what's inside because products are out of stock."

That's been my experience. If not out of stock, perhaps shelved elsewhere.

Putting signage of any kind on fridge doors in retail is annoying. Just let us see the products. Aisle clutter in supermarkets has become worse, too. In some places it's so bad that it's not worth shopping in person any more.
If anything I see way less discussion of C# than it merits, given its key role in the world's most popular game engine.

Get thicker pans if you're experiencing warping. I had loads of problem with inexpensive but thin tri-ply aluminum/stainless cookware. I switched to big thick cast iron and carbon steel, and 8mm thick aluminum disc base nonstick/stainless and have never had a warping problem since.

What? Ceramic cook tops are crap, they get stained easily, scratched easily, and in the US at least, the way they work to "adjust" the temperature is to cycle on and off every few seconds.

Oh and if any of your pots or pans get warped, they become completely unusable!

Drop anything heavy on it, and the cook top breaks.

I once waited for 20 minutes for a small pot of water to boil on a ceramic cook top.

The old fashion coil burners are better than the stupid glass top ones.
>you mean project file? or WPF's XAML?

Those, and many other things. XML is just an embedded idiomatic part of the language. There's nothing really wrong with XML, but the web runs on JSON now. And all other modern languages (Go, Rust, NodeJS, etc.) are built with that in mind first.
Does that automatically cascade to maritime claims? I was trying to figure out what right is actually used for deciding whose coast a given coast is, for international treaty purposes.

It's not a meme. It's propaganda only Russians believe.

Russia is also the country with the largest number of neo-nazis (about 80-100k).

AFAIK one of the claims is that the doors are a net energy savings, because you can use better, opaque insulation material rather than glass.

The parent comment you are replying to is acknowledges this, validates what you are saying, and even goes as far as to say that "Insiders legitimately want drivers to have flexibility without fear of penalties, and there are some major projects in the works to try to make things better for drivers"

Maybe you disagree that they are actually trying but, at least according to this comment chain, everyone at uber agrees with you.
Kind of agree but thats why I stopped teaching and went to a dev bootcamp.

Even though I taught for about 7 years my theory was that 3 years was a good amount of time to put in to teaching before starting to burn out. Sort of treating it like the public service it feels like.

Not that everyone has the option of leaving. But financially speaking I observed that even fewer people had the option / privilege of teaching indefinitely without the financial support of a spouse or roommate living situations into middle-age. Thinking mainly about the growing percentage of non-fulltime teaching roles.
Reminds me of the Yes Minister clip and getting two different answers in survey.
