This should not be a concern (the danger due to pets, not the terrible UI, which is, indeed, terrible): All modern induction cooktops will not actually engage unless they "feel" a metallic mass which reacts to the magnetic field. If there's nothing, or anything else than an induction-compatible pan/pot on top of the hob, it won't do anything and will turn itself off after 30ish seconds.

So unless you leave pans and pots on the hobs when you're not cooking, you're good.
It's possible a lack of sleep reduced his immune response to the cancer. The body has some natural cancer fighting mechanisms, and it's only the mutations that escape these that become malignant tumors.
I definitely don’t find modern .NET (ie .NET Core) to be overly enterprisy or boilerplated at all. Certainly nothing like .NET framework or Java.
> .NET is an amazing tech built by MS. I wish more people would use .NET ecosystem instead of Go...

After years of witnessing or being on the receiving end of the things Microsoft did, I'd rather not develop with .NET. Same goes for Google's Go. Rather I'd happily use C++ / Python / Rust / Java / Perl, and never look back.

I think it's bitter to be associated with acts done to undermine and stifle competition for whatever it takes rather than being a tech company known with good products. Yes, I pay for an Office license and like their hardware, but I can't forget what they've done over the years.
it's back now.
And limited data collection about everything, its the same problem really.
Ask HN: Which VPN provider should one use from Russia?
I have some non-technical relatives in Russia, and they have started to feel the need to use a VPN for their average internet activities. Is there any recommended company to get a subscription from? I assume the sanctions will be a limiting factor in terms of variety and quality. Or is it better that I, as an outsider, pay the subscription and they just start using it from Russia? I hope we can keep the conversation non-political because I just want to help my relatives remain as free and informed as possible, despite the situation.

So, which VPN provider should one use from Russia?
It may be that your cookware is no good. For safety reasons all control systems for induction appliances have a feature to automatically turn off when they detect that the generated field is not being received by a large enough target surface, since otherwise it would be a fire risk. Try changing cookware, you may find the issue goes away.
>Americans are mocked worldwide for their ridiculous cars. Oversized, gas guzzling, ostentatious, and yes - fetishized cars are associated with Americans worldwide.

Americans mock other nations for all sorts of shit that isn't true, like French people not showering or Germans sounding/being angry all the time. Should we take those thoughts seriously because a lot of people think them?

Americans do buy a lot of pickups. Many of these get decent gas mileage. A lot of people use these for work. Crossovers are the biggest new sellers (over 50% of new sales, if my memory serves me correctly), which get marginally worse mileage than the cars they're directly descended from. The size of all of these vehicles is prodded along by "safety" regulations and ratings, where a higher hood height is correlated with the driver/passengers being safer in accidents (this has its own problems but it's a different discussion).

I think you have an exaggerated view of what US auto consumer preferences look like. This is really easy because the whole "the US is a shithole with no redeeming qualities" narrative is popular among some crowds, but it doesn't reflect the reality of what's happening.

>However car manufacturers did in fact plot - conspired, even - to attack trams, public transport, trains, and anything else that could threaten their dominance. That's just well known fact, and I don't know why you're defending any of this.

Those plots and attacks range from completely unverifiable conspiracy theories, to unintended consequences, to actions that one might reasonably argue were an attempt to interfere with public transit. It is nowhere near as cut and dry as you're making it out to be, and trying to claim that some unproven conspiracy by Big Car is the primary reason the US is so dependent on cars today is myopic. You've suggested that others in this thread "just Google it", but some of the first results you're going to see when researching this subject touch pretty heavily on what I've said above -- the person asking you for some sources probably wasn't a "sealion" (whatever that is), they probably already did what you told them to, and some of the highest ranking info directly contradicted your argument.

>Have you ever actually traveled outside America and seen how much nicer it is to be able to walk around a city that isn't designed completely around cars? It's a far, far superior daily experience.

Nobody is denying that it's nicer to be able to walk around a city without having to deal with cars and traffic. The discussion is whether or not it is even feasible to have that anywhere in the US to the extent that other places do.
Hundreds? I think way more, the snails seem to have evolved to produce very little purple, it seems the Phoenicians killed the juicy ones preferentially. I've read the process in Medieval times required...don't know like tens of kilograms of snail for enough purple to die one item. Like bad economics.
It is estimated that around 1/5 of people living around a coal ash lake has gotten cancer. Thankfully there are no such number for people living near nuclear plants, or around sites of nuclear waste disposal. The amount of people who has died to radiation thanks to coal vastly outnumber the amount of people who has died to nuclear waste. If we including mining, coal mining is a symbol of one of the most dangerous job a person could do, and it has harvested many more souls than uranium mining.
Do you only have a single “burner” running off 120V outlet, or multiple?

Considering a custom dual fuel setup. Since I’m limited by a 125AMP panel and we are almost maxed out between an electric heat pump, washer/dryer and maybe an EV.
Why the obsession with "drinking recycled urine?" That's already part of the drinking water we consume every day. Recycled horse sweat too.

Regardless, I have long believed that space is the natural domain of our children the robots. They don't need to drag the earth biosphere around with them but can adapt to whatever the local environment may be, as long as it isn't the "surface" of the sun.

Leave space travel to them and make this planet a paradise instead.
"class of 1400" just means a given course has an enrollment of 1400 in a given semester, not necessarily that they packed 1400 students into one lecture hall and taught them all at the same time.
Since solar panels can go to zero output onto the grid instantly, this is just a matter of improper design (of the equipment, or of the regulatory regime.)

In any case, the cost/kWh from nuclear is computed assuming it's running flat out (except for refueling outages). Reduce that generation and the levelized cost increases. It's already very much higher than renewables; curtailing nuclear output would make that discrepancy worse.
Yep!

And let me be provocative (and probably downvoted here)... it also works during windless nights!
Entry and exit points are material, but you don’t know when to enter and exit to maximize profit, hence “time in the market beats timing the market.” On average, you should come out ahead (based on available data and back testing).

These are well worn passive capital market investment principles, with copious amounts of supporting data. As an individual, it is very difficult to do better than long duration broad equities basket exposure with a low expense ratio.
Personally I find the solution is to meet and hang out with very diverse crowds.

I find that whenever you make a decision, you are really sampling from what you’ve already seen.

If haven’t seen a lot, your decision making is really constrained. If you’ve only seen bad decisions, you will make a lot of the same ones. You won’t even know that they’re bad.

The hardest part of life really is figuring out what you don’t know yet. And it’s really, really hard.

I agree that Lviv seems western enough to be spared bombing (since I assume Putin just want the east, and the attention over Kyiv.)

Yeah, sure, Finland is fine, as soon as Putin would laid a hand on it, there would be a strong response from... Oh, wait no one.

But Estonia, yeah, sure, NATO would jump to trigger WWWIII over Tallin. I can already picture Joe Biden explaining to US voters why they'll have to deal with a nuclear war because of the Baltics. Also, that the Baltics exist.
I build front ends closely with a design/"UX" team, and this is a real thing. We intentionally add delays, especially on "save", like what the author is referring to. People expect there to be a delay, so a UI without the delay is unexpected. We have unintentionally trained users to expect to wait for the computer to do certain tasks.

Chickens used to be smaller too though, like the 1950s chickens were 3 lbs, now I struggle to even find chickens less than 5 lbs at costco.

So a 3 lb chicken, it's still ~1360g, 1360g of beef would be ~33.
I do believe that the point here is that iron daggers were not commonplace 3770 years ago. Bronze daggers would have been. Not my area of expertize though.
I really like cast iron cooking on an induction range.
Good question, I dunno. Perhaps with another abstraction like this?
Ah I see. Datavant is healthcare tech.
The idea that western companies are pulling out of Russia as a form of virtue signalling is ridiculous. The fact is they are pulling out because they must due to sanctions and Russian counter reactions.

Mcdonalds for example pulled out. Russia has suggested that it may break "trademarks" to continue to operate McDonalds independently and keep (innocent) people employed.

The delusion of many westerners is the idea that Putin is at odds with Russia as a whole and that Putin or Russia can be "canceled."

Russia is not Libya or Iraq. It is practically a third or a quarter of Eurasia with a continent's worth of natural resources.

If Russia wants to practice autarky (economic self-reliance) it can do that far better than most countries on Earth.

Second the idea that "Putin" is at odds with Russia. According to polls Putin has somewhere around 70% approval.

Most of those opposed Putin are even more against western neoliberalism than Putin.
That was already in the environment to begin with.
It's easy to invest in a single stock that goes up in the longest bull market in US history.

It is much harder to beat the market, especially in a bear market.

The core tenet of investing is that you make a bet that other people see as risky. We have enormous amounts of research that active investing at an individual level can no longer beat the market in the face of widespread insider trading at the investor level, HFT, etc.

You need asymmetrical information to beat the market, and individuals just can't get it.

Renewables with “magic” storage. Wind can be low for a month for a whole country (cf UK last year). There is no storage technology that can store that much power at scale. What you need is an alternative on demand source of energy, which cost is always omitted when looking at renewable energy cost.
I would expect most of remodels/upgrades to be induction though... At least that is the case in my social circle (another German)
Snarky drive-by comments like this are the worst part of HN.
Ok, my bad. I would argue that the populists pushed the "classic right" to the right, more than they did macron ; but that's fair to say they pushed everyone. (Thanks cnews..)
I can't speak to the meltdown statistic, but for coal: just the burning alone is responsible for hundreds of thousands of premature deaths annually[1].

And that's before we consider the environmental and health risks of ash ponds[2], which can (and have caused) heavy metal pollution in nearby groundwater supply. The largest industrial spill in US history happened barely a decade ago, and was an ash pond[3].

Edit: I can personally recommend "The Buffalo Creek Disaster" (ISBN 9780394723433) as a writeup by a lawyer involved in a similar coal ash accident (one that directly killed over 100 people).

Yeah but only where it fits the narrative which in the question of cost for example leads to this:

1) If markets valued the low-CO2 nature of nuclear, they’d be doing better

2) Multiple hypothetical approaches to reduce nuclear costs are ongoing. No one knows for sure if any of them will work, or which one will work best

3) Factory-produced large reactors on floating platforms is a surprisingly intriguing idea to make reactors cheap

or: 1) make everything else more expensive so we look better

2) let me consult the magic orb because I have nothing in my hands

3) I have a nice idea

Meanwhile we have HERE just another example of hilariously expensive reactor. Actual facts. Waved away with theories like "we don't have the people with experience anymore" which leaves you with the thought: should inexperienced people build nuclear reactors at all?
I hear you man. For me the most frustrating part about all of this is each platform comes with its own algorithmic placement system that has to learn your kid's level. My eldest kid has high-IQ exceptional needs, and by the time the algorithms would learn her level and place her accurately where she would make some progress, the classroom had already moved on to the next platform. I think I counted five different platforms for math in the past year, sometimes with multiple different logins on the same platform. It's a travesty and her growth has come to a complete halt since I stopped teaching her and gave her back to the school. My heart breaks but what can you do. As a kindergartener she was factorizing numbers in the bathtub and now as a third grader "Xtra Math" is asking her to identify whether a shape is a triangle or a circle.
you find a flat induction stove better than a gas one with wok ring for wok cooking?
Those all have two issues: MUCH higher cost (I got mine for $50) and they still don't offer refined power/temp controls. It's just in large steps. I did find one that uses a reflective thermostat to set the EXACT temperature you want and they said it's accurate to within 1.8 degrees F, but it costs over $1,000 for one burner. My current setup is fine, but if I was going to spend that kind of money on a new stove, it would be for a gas convection oven, not just one stovetop burner.
> I've seen salesmen who couldn't multiply two three-digit numbers together turn into Albert Einstein when the year's bonus structure got published.

I kinda think you are arguing against your point, here. IMO these sorts of sales people are a result of over-specifying homework questions to this degree, because they haven't been shut down or washed out at the stage where you find out they can't deal with a reasonable (or even too-low) level of detail.

But the problems you talk about in your first paragraph are real problems, and the solution is that the entirety of the school's administration needs to take a zero-tolerance approach with this sort of behavior. Rules-lawyering should be shut down at every step of the way. Yes, that might result in some actual lawsuits, which will suck up time and money, but I think that's just the price of educating people. And might still end up being less trouble overall.
> The only helpful thing was the General Assembly vote, which helps to identify the world’s bad or prevaricating actors.

While a majority of states voted to condemn the invasion, the countries that voted to let it happen represent a majority of the world's population (it wasn't just India and China; there was widespread support in Africa, for example).
> but absolutely not for Rust

Right. Here are measurement results based on the Are-we-fast-yet benchmark suite: https://github.com/rochus-keller/Oberon/blob/master/testcase.... The version of the benchmark translated to C and compiled with GCC or CLANG -O2 runs about twice as fast as the CLI/.NET version. Rust's performance is close to C's. And before you say that Mono is slower than the CoreCLR have a look at these measurements: https://www.quora.com/Is-the-Mono-CLR-really-slower-than-Cor.... But apparently bringing data is a waste of time.

Fortunately your children will almost certainly find new ways to critique and disparage your decisions as a parent and their respect for you also diminish as they grow older and calcify their opinions of what makes a good parent.
That's exactly my problem with this post, the author makes it seem like a lot of thought was put into their teaching when it seems like most of their "progressive" ideas were half-baked. When talking about the abundance of regrades, instead of re-iterating on the idea, they gave up on it and deemed it impractical.

> "We could change from the current “mandatory Odysseus” regime to an “optional Odysseus” regime: On the first day of class, offer students an irrevocable choice: They can have homework and deadlines imposed on them, or not. Perhaps the students who need deadlines would learn to opt for them and others could live freely."

I don't see why there can't be more happy-mediums like having deadline schedule where if you miss one assignment, you can turn it in within the next 2 assignments. There's a lot more options in the space of possibilities that aren't being explored.

And maybe this is not exactly a criticism in the author's eyes depending on what their priorities are. I'd have to find out how the author ranks the priorities of being a teacher. Is the main priority to have the students leave with an understanding of the course material, to just do the job well enough to not get reprimanded by the school (by doing the minimum to reduce student complaints and have a "healthy" pass/fail ratio), or to aid the student in their education however far they are able to go with points given for effort (which could vary depending on what the student will actually pursue). This also isn't even touching on the topic on the quality of teaching being done and whether as much thought has been put into that as grading policies.
Coal ash is nasty stuff, but that's very likely due to chemical toxicity (things like arsenic, especially in Appalachian coal), not radioactivity.

Table scraps, what? When food is half of income, table scraps are much more meager, much less left on the table, and there's a whole pecking order of who eats what cuts of meat (hopefully meat) and everything else. All the way from the breadwinner down to the pig.

Foraging? Yeah if you don't mind foxes eating them, which is like the favoritest thing a fox can want. They figure out chicken coops built with way higher production values with chicken wire and the like, in the present day, back in Rome it must have been a cakewalk. And I don't blame the foxes, nor do I blame native Chilean cats that do the same, rather it's just to easy to prey on this flightless bird humans feed to eat. The whole concept of animal domestication, really, it's fish in a barrel.
Try this; 1. every PR review call out one neat thing you _really like_ and maybe ask how they figured that out
2. Be explicit in the dichotomy between "recommendations/nits" and "you shouldn't merge this". Weight things toward the former. Have a style guide for the latter things and be very conscious of when someone is violating the actual style guide or just your own biases. If you really have high "standards" write them down... Otherwise they are just whims, not really standards.

I can't agree with this assessment. I'm curious as to what environment you are comparing it to?
It's not just that. To make something colder using a heat pump, you must heat up something else by the equivalent amount. Actually more, because of losses.

Whereas making something warmer can be done without a heat pump, by releasing stored chemical energy, at nearly no losses.
> It may very well end up that the Information Age has tipped the scales and our large meandering decentralized democracies are no longer the superior model they were back when it took 4 weeks to get a letter from New York City to Washington DC.

There are more and less (de)centralized democracies. The US (and others) are formed from federated regional governments:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federalism

But there are unitary states (France, Spain) as well:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unitary_state

As for democracies: one problem with non-democracies is negative feedback can be difficult. If things are headed in a bad direction, it can be hard to get that message through to those in charge if they lean autocratic and become isolated from reality. Folks are afraid to bear bad news because messenger get shot (proverbially or literally).
Isn't the reason why woks need gas also that the gas creates a smooth heat gradient up the sides of the wok? How far away from the surface of the stove can an induction element heat a pan?
