I assume you are joking because comparing Berlin 2022 with Berlin during the third reich can only either be a joke or an absence of basic understanding of European history between now and then so flabbergasting that it borders on imbecility.

> “One potential solution is to bury the cables in the seafloor. This is already done for many marine renewable developments but can be expensive and difficult to maintain. It will be important to ensure its continued inclusion in the consenting process for future projects.

That's a great way to make renewable projects more expensive and thus less likely to happen, the effects of which may be worse (even for those crabs) than a couple cables in specific locations.

OTOH, it shows that electromagnetic fields, even static (DC) ones, can have significant biological impacts. Was this already known or is that a new discovery that could have impact beyond protecting crabs?
Look, just saying that "true love, nuclear family" concept is definitely not a new trend. It was a baseline expectation in the society of your grand-grandparents even if reality couldn't match that quite often.

One probably have to go back to 17th century for this expectation to become entirely alien again. The times of arranged marriages and honor killings. However there hardly was a dating scene in modern sense to think of.

I recently started to figure out what coffee I want to use as my "go to beans". Most local roaster around here tell me something about them on their websites.
I'm looking at one right now, and they have some photos of their operations and how they work. They even have some info on how they travel to their producers (not that I read all that, but nice).

And that's what I'm missing from your site. I mean, I will not read that epic 10 page story of how you discovered your spiritual calling but actually tells me little to nothing about your operation. But how about having some hard facts: Where do you ship from? Can I buy the coffee at a local shop? How is the coffee roasted? Do you roast yourself or are you a reseller? What's your roasting process? You already differentiate the different kinds of roast, why not add some info like time and temperature? We are hackers, we love that hard data that would confuse "mere mortals".
Judging from your website, you might have the orders dropshipped from somewhere in SEA or you could be a manufactory somewhere in the US with a dedicated team of coffee experts and an incredible roasting process with every order freshly roasted. It's impossible to say.

Also, my preferred supplier offers various trial packages of 4x9oz (and a bigger 8x9oz) with some discount applied. So I can order that, see which roasts I like most and then get those in their bigger 35oz packages. At the previous job, they would regularly deliver us 20 of the big packages; though I am not sure if that was a fixed arrangement or someone was tasked with ordering the big load of coffee on demand. Either offering might be something for you.

I think forestry management is only a part of the story.

New England has houses intermingled with forest, and we make very limited use of controlled burns. Yet, we don't have forest fires like the west coast. There are two big reasons for this:

1) It rains here. The forest floor is perpetually damp, which makes the risk of a fire starting and spreading much lower.

2) We have mature, native forests. The invasive Eucalyptus tree in CA makes their forest fire problem much worse than it otherwise would be.
I've done the leetcode thing. As a hiring manager, I don't find much value in homogenization of skillsets that comes from dedicating time to memorizing rote answers to problems. Some amount of that skill on a team can be beneficial, but it's less effective when everyone brings that skillset to the table.

The issue with leetcode is a lot like the issue of GMAT/GRE/SAT/ACT. It can be used to remove candidates from the pool, but it is a really poor indicator of general success overall. All it does is make the candidate pool a bit more manageable at the expense of people who have other skillsets.

Skillsets that are selected against by leetcode are tip-of-the-spear adopters and other innovators (broad thinkers), communication skillsets, and often UX understanding/projection.

As an employer, I have used Hackerrank for a specific skillset and role we needed (deep SQL experience), but that is the only type of testing we used for selection processing.

I don't think it's possible if you use a global environment for everything, as different packages might have conflicting dependencies. The best way to solve it is to separate environments. I personally prefer conda as it's fairly easy to create environments of any python version.
I thought so too, but then I watched the demo video. Looks useful when you have a lot of data scrolling by but are interested in only a portion of it. Could be used to watch web server log files, strace output or anything else like that.

I can't believe I actually need to say this, and I'm not even sure whether responding to such lunacy is a good idea, but:

No. Mass rape, kidnapping and murder of civilians is not how wars have historically been won, and they are certainly not "necessary". Wars are won when the enemy no longer has the ability or willingness to fight. Committing atrocities against civilians rarely accomplishes anything more than increasing of the enemy, unless their situation was already hopeless to begin with.

As a European, it baffles me that a nation with about 1k tornadoes a year [0] still build houses with wood and glue. How is it better to rebuild every time instead of spending the right amount of money the first time?

It would be like Japan not building earthquake-resistant houses because "it's too expensive".

Rust - assuming something these languages are uniquely-suited to, like embedded, drivers, OS programming, or 3D graphics. It's a smoother experience in most areas. For example, I find it to have cleaner, more explicit syntax, good included tooling, and is easier to compile. Things like blocking implicit number conversions, and specifying array types (or array references) instead of pointers are nice.

A warning: Rust as a language has a large surface area, and there are some features and design paradigms that can make it messy to read and write. I would treat generics as a tool to be used sparingly, vice as a default API, for example. Same with Async and Tokio.
We do? That wasn't my experience at all. I commuted to college on a public bus while working full time as well.
I could definitely see that, but I don't think that those economists would be likely to go on to argue that the best way to deal with a collusive duopoly is to make it easier for the duopoly to effectively ban competitors from the market by blocking access to their payment terminals.

If you think that a company is a monopoly/duopoly, that's an argument for forcing them to support more interoperability with competitors, not less.
Why innovation prizes fail? Because past performance isn't indicative of future results.

You may want to incentivize discoveries by financing proven talent, but that approach ignores the fact that being successfull has an important component of luck.

There's a recent economic model [1] studying the effects of sheer luck in acquiring wealth; and it shows that the richest people end up being those who accumulate a streak of lucky breaks, independently of their talent (above a minimum).

The model predicts that the best strategy for getting talented people to deliver results is giving a small amount of funding to everyone equally. This way, you maximize the chances that someone will start a project with the right approach, AND that are least some of them will have the lucky breaks required for it to flourish.

This really sounds interesting. Just curious does this chip need super high precision? Do you have to get a hang of the physics behind gravitational wave? Thanks!
That's not at all what I'm saying. It's jumping to conclusions to think that we can just solve problems by using that 80% of production for people food crops vs animal feed. The paradigms are entirely different - from the types of crops the land can produce, to the labor involved in its production, etc. I also believe that the switch to plant based plastics over the coming decades will eat up whatever minor reduction in animal feed occurs. Even with higher prices for animal products you will still have a large market. Which is why you couldn't just remove subsidies and think that 80% number would shrink much.

Nope. Go after ethanol if you want wasted corn. We like/need meat, and there is plenty of corn production or grazing land to accommodate that production.

Something like 30-50M buffalo lived and grazed in North America before they were all killed. The ecosystem can most certainly sustain 30-50M cattle grazing. They wouldn't be as _profitable_ as corn-finished cattle, but they produce meat.
> green beans are hand-selected directly from each farm after traveling there to sample and source

This is a major, major point that you should absolutely highlight! We are hackers, we love the behind the scenes. You should try to show what this process of selection works.

You are right that word of mouth is important, but if I were to see something advertised (e.g. this post) how do I get to the step of believing that you are a legit seller? Show don't tell. Show me how you chose the coffee, how you roast it, how you brew it etc...

Alternatively, I think there is absolutely value is selling coffee with novelty bags, but the price-point needs to reflect that and there is no need for (possibly very expensive) claims.
There's an argument that says to prefer performance cores, because once a non-looping task completes, the cores can idle again.

This allows the system to more quickly reach a very power efficient state, compared to leaving a weak stove on to cook a large pot of chili.
Apologies for the unintended obscurity - I thought the meaning would be apparent from the context and that mention of the Dunning-Kruger as a posterior counterpart. I meant that "the more you investigate, the more you realize that the most solid knowledge you have is that of how little you know"

(Socrates was said by the Pythia, the Oracle of Delphi, that he was the wisest man in Athens: Plato has he comment in the Apology that if there is one thing that makes him wise, it could be that he does not delude himself about his ignorance involving all the things he does not know).

To such "Socratic principle on wisdom and knowledge", the wiser you get the more you see limits in your knowledge; to its counterpart the D-K, lack of experience has subjects underestimate their ignorance.

People experienced in dealing with problems experience a large amount of unexpected obstacles, unexpected in the mental framework they brought: after some long while, difficulties and complications are expected preemptively, they are part of the picture one forms. Experience brings diffidence.
I have to tell you that my data is anecdotal. And boy rarely I find obese people here.
Yes. I know it's existing as coverage when you run unit-tests.

Like others mentioned the current drought/dry period is how the west has always been. What is an abnormality is the last 150 years and how wet it was. Multiple scientists are saying the same thing but nobody in politics/media are listening. Given no desalinization plants are being built or efforts made to trap more water runoff expect things to get alot worse. Also expect current CA politicans to blame everything on residents "wasting water".

This is false.

At least in the US it is illegal for TV (that is, real television, not streaming) to play ads louder than the regular programming (and has been in the last decade). So that app could also auto fill the FCC complaint form[1].

Meanwhile, some TVs and audio receivers have a "night mode" that limits the maximum decibels. It's designed to not wake other people in the household up, but it also serves your purpose.

I agree. The best thing about college was that all my friends were from different walks of life. We just happened to be friends because we were assigned as roommates. My friends included a pot head, a meat head, a brooklyn hipster and some in-between. We bonded mostly over drinking and dating. It was a great time, but after college we didn't work in the same industry so some moved away. We eventually started getting in serious relationships and stopped drinking as much so obviously there was less to hold us together.

Today my friends are mostly people I used to work with and we have more in common, although we're still pretty different since we came together by accident of employer

>Also, Google Pay co-exists on Android next to other companies' apps. So you don't have to stop using Apple Pay if you don't want to.

My bank didn't have any mobile payments on iOS for the longest time because they wanted to do payments via their own app, so it was only available on Android devices. Eventually, they caved in and added Apple Pay, since there was no other way forwards on iOS. Looks like they've also added Google Pay now.

While I technically like the idea of opening the NFC to third parties, I'm also worried that this will incentivise banks to not use a service with a good UX like Apple Pay.
The market tends towards monopolies. That is why you have the FTC, SEC, etc. So regulatory competition would lead to regulatory monopoly, unless you introduce meta regulators and the cycle begins anew.
I don't want to end the use of stimulant medications. Nor do I want to suggest there are not correlations between certain groups of people and those who benefit from drugs. Nor do I want to deny people have differences in neurotransmitter levels.

My issue is primarily with the jargon of calling such people "disordered". It's just such a crass and unnecessary subjective judgement. I reject the entire framing as an attack on my person and an insult to my face. Just because I can become hyper-smart by taking some drugs doesn't mean I'm disordered.

Karambol is an AI-powered travel guide. It works like a search engine and aims to provide relevant travel itineraries while matching one's travel preferences.

As a traveler, I'm quite frustrated by paper guides. Way too long to read! Plus, I feel the editors add new “must see” things every year just to justify the new edition (and the price). I'm also frustrated at travel blogs where storytelling is over-used.

I like having the “best of the best” places to visit and have help building my itinerary. I know many others do the same. This is why I started Karambol, which is a side project so far.
