The point I'm making is that the effect of climate change will not always and everywhere result in negative outcomes. Some people will win, others will lose. Anyone who tries to pretend like it will be a disaster for everyone is being very disingenuous.

You might have to buy an air conditioner if you keep living in Washington state over the next few decades. Folks in Canada might save money on their winter heating bill. Folks that live in Tennessee might not notice any difference.

There are lots of places on planet earth where being outside for 3 hours in the weather can kill you. I worked in lawn and garden at Wal-Mart 15 years ago watering plants in the parking lot in the July heat in Oklahoma. It was easily 115°F for several hours in the afternoon. You go inside each hour for 15 minutes and drink lots of water.

Humanity has been living in deserts and jungles for a long time, in conditions far less comfortable than a few hours of 108°F heat in an otherwise very temperate climate. Millions of people live in Phoenix, AZ in the summertime. Modern technology makes it even easier. I'm not buying that a daily temperature outlier here and there means we're headed for a climate catastrophe.
I hate telemetry driven development.

It just results in loosing infrequently used but important features. First it gets moved from a button to a menu, then to a sub-menu and eventually removed.
To add to this, the cool thing about musician’s earplugs is they try to attenuate the sound in a way that roughly conforms to the equal loudness curve. It isn’t perfect (the highs are often still knocked down more than I would like) but in general they are way better than normal earplugs which basically just kill most of the mid to high range.

If you want to make sure you get custom moulds done right, a local audiologist can do it for you.

Walking out of a concert (or for me a gig - I used to play the drums professionally) popping out your plugs and having your head feel totally normal is such an amazing feeling! Highly recommend them even if you only go to a handful of loud venues in a year.
What does that have to do with anything? No one is under the illusion that it never happens that someone bootstraps a bike shop by driving around the neighborhood stealing peoples bikes. That doesn’t make it right though.

Obviously the content was valuable to tiktok in that early phase, so they owe a lot to the content creators they ripped off.
If we believe the Tipitaka, Shakyamuni talked about how liberated he was, what it was like to be liberated, and how to get liberated like him, pretty much nonstop, for decades. If enlightenment makes you humble then the Buddha was a charlatan and Buddhism is bosh. (This generalizes to most religions!)

Contrapositively, if Buddhism is even moderately well-founded, then at least some truly liberated people would totally scream that out, at least under some circumstances.
Opensource freedom strikes again. Owners dont like you for any reason, they can destroy your business. Seems to be the trend, podcasters deplatformed, youtubers kicked off, twitter poster banned, store fronts kick off customers, paypal steals your money, stripe kicks you off, fundraiser stolen.

The world is so happy to destroy people they dont like. sickening.
> The fact you think I am trying to say homosexuality is the same as death is quite telling isn't it?

I didn't say that. I said you compared them. You did so again in this comment, again putting them on the same level as taboo discussion subjects for children, which is just plain wrong. The fact that people of the same gender can love each other is not hard to understand, it's really quite simple to explain, but your last comment attempted to make it sound difficult to explain, seemingly to justify speaking in hushed tones about it or not at all if children are nearby, as if you were talking about their deceased parent. But it's an easy-to-understand, neutral subject, so your point is invalid.

And really? One kid tells another kid that his dad is an architect, the second kid asks the teacher to explain what the first kid's dad does. And the teacher says "No, I can't talk about anyone's parents." That's what you're going with?

This isn't necessarily about a student's parents anyway. That's just one example of where a child might be triggered to ask about it. Kids are curious, they will ask, and with this new legislation teachers will avoid it as if the kid asked about death. And when something gets treated as if it's taboo, it becomes taboo.

Ha same here, about a month as well. It’s been great. The wall power has been huge for me.
"...it is probably more practical to turn your bedroom into a panic room..."

It's not really practical to turn any room into a true panic room. Panic rooms are made to be very robust, so you can essentially wait out the threat. Sure, stuff like laminating windows and having strong doors/frames can be good. It's only going to buy you limited time (check out some firefighter breaching videos, lock picking videos, etc; most people wildly overestimate how secure/sturdy their house is; good thing the threats are generally unsophisticated). You could have a disguised hiding spot, like in the attic, but I don't know that it really meets the definition of panic room. Yes, SWAT will check the attic (eventually). And my guess is that if you're worried about being accidentally labeled a threat and shot, that they will be more likely to label someone hiding in the attic as resisting. Although, maybe you can call 911 and they could instruct you how to safely surrender.

Basically, just take some basic precautions that buy you time and make your property less of a target. Then have a plan for when someone might actually gain entry (sounds like you might be interested in hiding, which can be difficult unless you have a purpose built area like you mentioned).
It always baffles me that concerts are allowed to get so loud. A few of my colleagues were complaining about their ears ringing after an AWS party, which is a strong indication they suffered some hearing damage!

Also worth pointing out that if you’re doing really loud stuff, you need to refer to NRR rating, not db. It’s a more precise way of measuring hearing protection against loud noises.
The musicians plugs I have sit pretty close to flush with my ear so you would like be able to sleep with them better than off the shelf stuff. I’d recommend going to an audiologist and inquiring about this scenario.

I've become bored with Wordle and all the clones, so this is a nice new challenge.

I was going to suggest writing, and I'll go one further: Do write a blog, but don't just write a blog.

Write a blog, and then create a video for each blog post, and upload it to YouTube (where the eyeballs willing to consume intellectual material are).

Also do livestreams.

Start interviewing anyone who will take you seriously. Set a goal for who your dream interviewee is.

Do this for a couple years, putting out content every week, and then glue & edit all that stuff down into a book that says something interesting, useful, and at least somewhat new.

Publish that book. Get interviewed yourself by other people.

Being a writer is not cliche. There's an enormous world there and a career you can build, and I think it's a very good idea to pursue that, so that you can get paid for pursuing your curiosity. In 10 years or so, if you keep at it, you could be doing very well for yourself and have "built" some things you're really proud of.
Scribus uses XML as its native file format. So anything that can produce text can produce a file that can be understood by Scribus.
I don't believe there's any non-nixos project so integrated with nix that it's required. You'd need to show some example here. It's normally just a wrapper for the description of how to setup the system - which you can totally do on your own and that's how most projects roll: just a text description of dependencies / versions.

Exactly. Whereupon you build a semantic system which has supposedly failed. But probably more haphazardly because your only primitive is links. Which, not to beat the horse I already declared dead but… is an effort pursued by great resources, and with lots of evidence it doesn’t work.
Perhaps I was too harsh, and you are not a native English speaker? "Seize" simply means to take control. The second definition in Miriam Webster is "to take control by legal means".

Police seize drugs, for example.
Can this compile to WebAssembly and run in the browser, in front of SQLite?
<500 GB + backups

Video and photos take up the most space, and need to be managed aggressively. I don't think there's much point saving movies and TV shows, since you can always stream it whenever you feel like watching it again (except temporarily when travelling or offline). Saving anything else is trivial in comparison, and not worth worrying about.
Ehhh maybe? Modular + affordable usually translates into more things that break in my experience. But if there was a quality build one with lots of options/configurations I’d definitely take a look.
It's actually forcing the energy apart. The energy wants make this one big mess where every bit is the same temperature as every other bit.

Your AC is working hard at pushing all the heat outdoors and making a pocket of cool inside.
Given we have a tipi that has a symbol that looks like something some jack_ss German used, I agree. Being there first needs to be respected. Damned if you should let the evil doer win.
Was the information accurate or was it not?
It was out of the ashes of dead civilians that the Charter and Geneva Conventions were born, even before all the dead had been buried. You are an unserious person to talk of the only product humanity produced, that is intended to prevent world wars and crimes against humanity, as unreal. It is remarkable ignorance.

The invasion of Iraq was never going to lead to a world war, was never about targeting civilians on purpose with malice and retribution. Russia invading Ukraine to de-nazify it? The idea the U.S. is filling Ukraine with Nazis? If Russia really believes this, and believes it has a moral obligation to stop us, what do they do if Ukraine wins? They are already by all accounts committing, with intent, a genocide. And it will get worse.

China and India refuse to agree this is a violation of the Charter, let alone that Russia should immediately withdraw. The lines are being drawn now. There is no predicting how this turns out, but it isn't possible to exclude WW3 as one of the outcomes. You seem to have no comprehension, no awareness of the different order of magnitude the seriousness of these situations. But that would be consistent with being an unserious person.
Yeah, but only last millennium. This millennium I've pretty much only talked with him in depth about security.
I can’t speak for you, but generally people at least consider this tradeoff because of the additional utility of the third party tool. Ideally all these features would exist in the system terminal, but that hasn’t happened, and it possibly won’t ever.
What a beast. The only concern I have is the price point - seems a little low. You feel the build quality is good?
> I don't know, it doesn't look like I was hiding anything.

Sure, to you it doesn’t, but to me you definitely come across very poorly. Anyone else wish to comment on that, for or against the points I have made?

It doesn’t look like you have a language barrier to me. You appear to be in denial, or perhaps you are just spinning your wheels due to stress and lack of sleep. That is not good.

Most founders get external shocks outside their control. Find a workaround or maybe use your personal contacts to try to resolve the issue. I would guess that making the problem public is unlikely to help your cause. I also suspect you are wasting your time on HN - there are likely more productive ways to invest your time.

I do hope you find a solution, and I really do feel for all the innocent people caught in the political crossfire. Best of luck to you.
That's all true. But you clearly indicated "kidnapping you out of your home", and I suspect there are indeed panic rooms you can buy that will prevent that (even if they clearly cannot prevent the above scenarios).
This isn't a video game. Your sample size of one is not indicative of the greater population. Don't cause people to mess up their health by appealing to the notion that they can do better than trained medical professionals. This is dangerous.
If you are importing libraries or 3rd party dependencies you are no longer “running your own code”. Micro VMs help to some extent limiting the fallout of supply chain attacks.
I've been using Obsidian, where notes can be linked and viewed as a graph, which is great for accidental discovery. I mostly use its full text search, though.
Do you exercise? It releases a ton of hormones that are other artificially replicated.
I don't think it's as simple as that. I'm not a lawyer, but I think one could certainly be accused of inciting violence by telling the truth creatively, to the right audience, under the right circumstances (like Trump's tweets during Jan 6).
China can prepare to end its zero-COVID policy
Ask HN: Why is physical reading more effective than digital reading?
Across the literature, reading paper media leads to better comprehension than digital media, both with a typical display and e-paper.
What theories do you have for why this is the case? Is the problem treatable?
I’m cis and mostly straight. Definitely comfortable in my skin.

Recently though, I was thinking that if I was hotter/skinnier it would be fun to present as androgynous. Not that I need to affirm my true identity or whatever, but a kind of fun gender vacation.

I hope a program like this has a decent amount of oversight. Otherwise, what’s stopping me from moving to a place with this, claiming to be NB and spending $600-900/mo on a personal trainer, clothes and makeup?

The current discourse makes it very hard to differentiate gender dilettantes from the actually marginalized.
This is similar to my experience when S22 was launched and I've got down voted for that [1]. In my case, my two years old (two gen older) S20 entry level smartphone has actually more RAM and better display screen resolution compared to the newly launched S22.

I wanted to see that because as I read on I honestly had more problems understanding the concept and wanted to see the idea implemented so that I might understand. But nope :(
It doesn’t matter why he did it. The key words are “he may have doxxed her.”
Actually, SV has been such a success because you can raise $10M, and sometimes more, basically over a lunch. No one else has that.

So yes, money goes to waste, this isn't always considered a "bad" thing given how many startups go under even with well intended founders.

SV has made a repeated bet that getting rid of almost all normal "red tape" (think audited financials, regulatory disclosures etc etc) is a net positive.

Startup after startup has found this a successful place to start massive globe spanning companies (and smaller ones).
I don’t believe so.
> I don't know how the word carries so substantially different moral leanings, but that's English.

There's a book published by some Brits in Oxford that very usefully researches the history of English words. They have found examples of all the meanings discussed here from the mid-to-late 17th and early 18th centuries, FWIW.
This still works from a temperature differential, not just a quantity of heat.
+1 Hearos for a good, cheap option.

I upgraded to the slightly more expensive Loop earplugs which were more comfortable.

Both give something like 12-15 db noise reduction.

I have shure e2cs. They require a good seal to get the best sound (any bass actually). They where good on planes. The tips are either memory foam or a soft rubber. The foam ones worked better, but lamentably they don't seem to make replacement tips anymore...
I'm unfortunately very late to this thread, but it's not at all ok to dig up extraneous personal info about someone and bring it into HN as ammunition in an argument. We ban accounts that do that sort of thing, so please don't do it again.

The flamewar itself was bad on both your parts, and you definitely both broke the site guidelines repeatedly (not cool!), and you both should stop posting like that because we ban accounts that keep posting like that.

Ukraine's future is already written. They've lost about 1/4 of their population between 2014 and today. It cannot be stressed enough how over it is for Ukraine as a state and peoples. If my country lost 1/4 of its population, I think I could go months without seeing other people, excluding work & shopping. It'd be a complete ghost town.
same - I'll stick with iTerm and zsh. It's definitely interesting though. Probably a security nightmare though. I noticed the one feature to share terminal output via a third party link. I can imagine there being a set of people accidentally leaking critical information via this feature (ie, passwords, private keys, system settings).
Citation needed.

I can understand in backlit screens were the light can cause eye strain and that's why I cannot read nor comprehend as much.

>You are jumping to a conclusion probably because you didn't like your childhood you described. You think all conservatives are like the ones you grew up with. You think they are filled with hatred and can't move on. Conservatives appear to have become a boogie man for you, where you think the worst of them.

Moderating like a public forum is easier said than done. Is labeling flat earthers as incorrect wrong? What about banning people spreading covid misinformation? What if there are true american citizens pushing KGB / russian propaganda, they have every legal right to do so, but will Twitter still allow it? At what point does a policy like "respect peoples' free speech" end with the specific reviewer's moral compass determining if something is targeted hate speech or just satire?
There's a lot of genuine things to hate on. For me it's the blatant market manipulation he has been involved in.
We have been told, repeatedly, about the "next great thing" in standards. The EU mandated micro-USB (ugh!). 7 years ago we were being hyped up about USB-C.

Here we are 7 years later, and the SAME lighting cable apple has had for 10 years (!!) is more sturdy, has great low latency (if you compare to USB-C for music making the difference is crazy), has fantastic reliable power delivery.

I mean, after 10 years you'd think the new standards would be absolutely crushing Apple's old tech.

But I can't get the low latency on USB-C for audio I get on lighting (anyone know why? Both are wires) 10+ years later.

It's maddening. And the power delivery and speeds of USB-C/USB3 are just crazily all over the map. You can plug into a blue USB3 port and go no faster than you did on an old port!
Not sure if it's changed, but Oyster was historically known for really detailed Vegas hotel reviews. They'd surely have a list of best hotel pools.

https://www.oyster.com/las-vegas/hotels/

You can also get some decent mileage out of Booking.com and checking reviews for keywords. That won't help you quickly find the best hotel pool, but it will help you find out what people think of a specific hotel's pool (e.g., Circus Circus).
I was a Altavista die-hard. Google was a great improvement. Honestly I think this is just asking the wrong question. In the world of walled gardens and industrial SEO I just don’t think a search engine will be the “next Google”
I never saw it as a badge of honour. I am 1000x more impressed by companies that are bootstrapped from nothing into successful businesses. The founders of those companies are real entrepreneurs.

Thank you! Looking more closely the sensaphonics website has sleep earplugs additionally. From what I see the db reduction and profile are same, but the more expensive ones do more to even out the reduction across the audible range for better quality I guess. I am going to check with the audiologist in my area their site recommended tomorrow to see about getting ear molds taken.
