Thank you for the thoughtful comment.

Yes, it would be great to see open archives become the standard. As the OP points out, for most of Nature's history, it did not have any formal peer-review process; Nature was quite literally a journal for sharing new research faster than via publication of a book, which was the previous dominant method for disseminating research. During most of Nature's history, peer review was something that happened organically, informally, in parallel. For most of its history, Nature was in fact used in much the same way that open archives are used today!

I also agree with you on points 1-4. One possible solution to the problem you raise on point 2 is for the open archives to implement an open peer-review system -- although it's really hard to do that well at scale. (HN moderators nod in agreement.) Hopefully the folks at the various open archives are already thinking about peer review too.

The top of the range is slower to charge. So for your 50 miles of range you would be suffering very long charge times. Whereas with a high range you can charge up to 50 miles very quickly (e.g. in a contrived case where your battery was down to 2 miles, you could charge up to 50 miles in 3 minutes at a fast charger).

On the other hand, if you truly only need 50 miles, you don't want to be lugging around the extra battery weight. On the other-other hand, you don't seem concerned about lugging around the polluting gas engine when batteries would do the job just as well if not better. Charging time at the top of the range is one factor that many advocates of low-range vehicles are not aware of. What ends up happening with PHEVs is the gas engine gets used way more than you expect.

Also, PHEVs stink, so there is that. And before you mention long tailpipe, it is a fallacy, as has been explained.

Nice. Is there a way to edit the animation curve directly on the graph? Also, I edited the CSS and I can see the animation changing but the graph doesn't update.

I was thinking of Marvel/Star Wars/DC comics instead of webcomics like XKCD but yeah youre right.

These tools will lead to a boom in webcomics and memes where precision isnt important. The superheroesque traditional comics will be harder to replicate with this.
Yes. EVs have Powertrain and Battery warranty. You'd think the powertrain warranty would be much longer in an EV right?

The only manufacturer that seems to put their money where their mouth is in Hyundai with a lifetime length and mileage battery warranty.
How do you think your comment relates to mine?

I sought out that study [1]. They seemed to control for anxiety levels in the participants, so the results are still interesting. However, they also refer to some prior art:

> Our findings initially appear different from those of some other studies. Fyhri and Phillips (2013; Phillips et al., 2011) found that risk taking in downhill bicycling, measured through riding speed, did not simply increase when a helmet was worn; rather, the people who normally cycled with a helmet took fewer risks when riding without one. Why did the participants in Fyhri and Phillips’s study who were not habitual helmet users not react to wearing a helmet with increased risk taking, as our experiment might suggest they would? Clearly more work is needed to definitively pin down all the mechanisms here, but for now, we speculate that the difference might be related to considerable variations between the two studies’ procedures. Fyhri and Phillips greatly emphasized the physicality of their task (“to increase the difference in measures between the helmet-on and -off conditions, all participants were instructed to cycle using one-hand in both conditions”; p. 60), which provides a direct link between the action (bicycling) and the condition (helmet wearing) that was absent in our study. Moreover, that study used a repeated measures design, in which participants were aware they were riding a bicycle both with and without a helmet. This could have meant that behavior changed through mechanisms different from those seen here, where participants took part only in one condition and were not aware of any manipulation, nor even that they were specifically wearing a safety device.

So, in the past other studies have concluded that when the helmet has an _actual_ potential impact on safety, they do not induce greater risk-taking behavior. This fits right in with my personal experience, where I don't even consider that fact that I'm wearing my helmet during a ride.

For me it's about proprietary vs. readable - unless it's obviously necessary for performance I think I'd still prefer 'flat file' to sqlite, but basically I just want something that isn't an incomprehensible blob, that I can use with other tools etc.

Bonus points for some open standard, but some kind of understandable format even if proprietary is miles ahead of proprietary and cryptic.

I wish Fusion360 for example had a sanely git-able on-disk format like:

line 0xdeadbeef (0,0) - (123,456)
line 0x01234567
constraint parallel 0xdeadbeef 0x01234567

Etc., Or something.

(Actually I suppose git - and incremental backups - is the main reason I say I'd still prefer plaintext to db.)

No. All images use filters. What comes off the image sensor is just a bunch of numbers. Something has to be done -- which always involves compromises and choices, there's no one correct solution -- to make an image that can be viewed on a range of display devices.

And I think the whole premise is wrong. You're trying to make people not feel bad about themselves because they may see an image and have some psychological consequences? I'm not sure that these concerns are on a firm footing.

I see two big factors in play here:

1. The widespread belief in American exceptionalism, once characterized as every American thinks of themselves as a temporarily embarrassed millionaire [1]; and

2. The power of propaganda. The number of low-income people who will fight to the hilt that Jeff Bezos shouldn't pay slightly more taxes to pay for the society that made his wealth possible and continues to make it possible is astounding.

Would be interesting if something like OpenSCAD had an interactive editor that allowed for exporting to an openscad code module.

They are obliged to offer a warranty that qualifies them to take the Federal Clean Air credits and commensurate with the mandated warranty on emission control devices. (An EV’s battery is an emission control device.)

Any decision to offer a warranty beyond that is driven by whether it will entice new car buyers to buy the car or to pay more for it.
One of the children Michael Aquino abused called him out to her parents when she spotted him at a random place in San Francisco, and provided a description of the interior of his house which matched what police found when they went to investigate. Many of the children at the Presidio daycare had physical evidence of abuse, including venereal disease.
As someone who struggled with and had to ‘first principles’ social skills, I feel this even in many mundane interactions.

People wear masks all the time because sometimes their true self is not conducive to what they are doing at that time.

For a celebrity entertainer who needs to appeal to a crowd of tens of thousands, their Dunbar’s number, even optimistically, will be orders of magnitude smaller.

Therefore, the gap of inner circle-audience will be made up by an act relying on their ability/looks/charm which is necessarily contrived and not reflective of their true self.

Have you played around with OpenSCAD? That comes from the programmatic direction.

As a novice it does seem to me that there's room for an open source CAD tool that offers a bridge between the two approaches. For what it's worth my opinions on a few tools:

• SolveSpace - solid, but a bit limited in its capabilities (e.g. no fillets or chamfers)

• FreeCAD - very powerful but almost unusably buggy (others seem to have had better experiences)

• OpenSCAD - very powerful but requires coding for everything

Then there are various non-3D cad tools and a few online ones (of which I've got the most use out of TinkerCAD which is easy to use because it is very limited in its capabilities)
That’s an interesting way of looking at it, but it seems incomplete because for every buyer, there is a seller. A paycheck isn’t converted into stock, it’s traded for it, so some other account gets the cash. Supply and demand meant that asset prices went up, but that meant that the sellers got more cash for less stock.

Who was selling? Recent retirees did well when they sold, but is there more to it than that?

It’s an odd time when cash does poorly (inflation), bonds do worse, and the stock market fell. Prices are relative, though. I guess it’s all relative to commodities and labor.

It seems like increased debt due to higher-priced assets as collateral probably needs to be taken into account too.

> Of course there's going to be speculation going on with any asset, but GME is not a purely speculative asset, and is not purely based on possible future application which isn't even known yet. There's a corporation behind it, which generates revenue, which provides services, all of this has real value, which then serves as a valuation.

GME also benefits from a significant protest aspect, with people buying stocks without any expectation of profiting from it and with the sole motivation of participating in an event which, in the very least, causes an hedge fund suspected of ilegal practices to go bankrupt.

Approximately 15% per 6 years, in line with my estimate and the warranty offered by all manufacturers sans Hyundai.
The comparison with other countries tends not to be made.

Germany took huge amounts of money from the US, Japan (the CIA were rigging elections in Japan until a few decades ago), South Korea...in the 1940s, 100% this argument was justifiable.

But after that point, particularly if you look at what happened in Central and South America, it is very clear that other explanations pre-dominate (and, not coincidentally, some of these places have been content to blame others all the way...Singapore was poorer than any country in Africa 60 years ago, had race riots worse than any place, they are now richer than most of Europe).

Also, I did my PG thesis on this specific issue: whether you think it is right or wrong, this is how sovereign debt crises were resolved at the time. Egypt, Ottomans...there were few other options that creditors had because most of these places weren't nation states in the way we perceive them today. So passing financial management over to creditors or hypothecating specific revenues (something not mentioned in the article, but which happened in Haiti) were the only way that people agreed to lend...and they lent, they provided financing for everything. The article doesn't invert their question (deliberately, I think we all know what the agenda is here...it relates to contemporary politics only): if the US and France didn't lend, how does Haiti industrialise? The population had no savings, do you think roads and hospitals just spring up for free out of nothing? The US, Germany (in part), Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea...they all industrialised using foreign capital.

Finally, I think forced labour was used in road construction in almost every country (certainly in the US). The implication today has to be that this was because of racism or some inherent desire for evil...it wasn't, it was because (once again) of the lack of reasonable alternatives.

chips are one of the least space-efficient foods you could possibly pick. they're not particularly good for you either. I definitely would not recommend feeding your family chips for a whole week, whether or not they fit in the basket.

this is actually something I like about shopping into a basket. it forces me to be more intentional about my food choices. instead of a ton of snacks, I buy simple ingredients that can be combined into lots of different meals. it also prevents me from overflowing the pantry of my small apartment.

I typically allocate two thirds of my basket staples (milk, eggs, pasta, canned tomatoes, canned beans, rice) and top off the remaining third with whatever fruits/vegetables look good and possibly some chicken thighs or a nice steak. this is enough to feed myself for two weeks, though I could go as much as three if I go heavier on the staples.

obviously how you choose to shop is up to you. but you can fit a lot of healthy ingredients into a single basket if you're strategic about it.
Revoking my vote is the very opposite of the spirit of American democracy. The biggest problem America faces is the rise of collectivism (and also Fascism from the right). California leading the pack. I didn't come to America to be part of a socialist nation which wants equality of outcome. The strength of USA, and I would say uniquely, is in individualism, freedom, rights and its core founding principles.

This is probably the most offensive thing you can say to anyone. It is so strange to see young generation of this place veering towards Autoritarian socialist nation. We've seen how that turns out (North vs South Korea, Cambodia, USSR, Cuba). Universities in the US is the hotbed for this non-sense.

Regarding reparations, Russia paying reparations after the war to Ukraine? Probably OK. Woke Russians 600 years later telling the new generation to feel guilty about what Putin did 6 centuries ago? NOT OK.

What is an illusion and what is reality? How do I present an objective true image with a camera?

And this is not some superficially dumb dorm room philosophy rambling. I can stand in one spot and get a radically different photo depending on the focal length of lens I choose. Ignoring time of day, ignoring weather, what is the “reality” I should be presenting?

https://digital-photography-school.com/wide-angle-versus-tel...

Ignore all the “filtering” stuff. (Which, of course, you cannot possibly have an un-filtered digital photo, there is a Bayer filter array in front of the sensor, literally every photo is filtered or else it would be in black and white.) Am I presenting reality accurately if I shoot someone with an 85mm lens versus a 35mm lens? What if I use lighting? What if I have them stand so they’re looking at me over their shoulder instead of straight on? What if I coach them to smile a bit? Is a model in a studio with a big softbox light an illusion or reality?

Lab safety is important of course. Let's not forget there's little to no evidence where covid came from and it doesn't matter at this point. We still have to deal with it. The people who are fixated on China in the US for racist and other reasons (like Trump et al) are also trying to deflect blame from poor us virus responses. The evidence of China being responsible is in the same category as my pillow guy's claims about secret evidence of the 2020 election being stolen - it's just a distracting game for dolts.
