Covid vaccines have already had multiple recalls due to unforeseen heart complications. These complications were, of course, "impossible" before they began occurring.

You cannot, by definition, foresee what unforeseen complications may arise with anything. Especially something as quickly made and widely disseminated as these vaccines. There may not be any "known" way a side effect could occur after 6 months. That does not philosophically mean anything about a risk existing. A lot, and I mean a lot, of medications have no side effects until you take them for years, and then suddenly there are issues. Adderall use is correlated with Parkinsons if you take it for over a decade. Some of these are foreseeable, and some were "no known way it could happen" until it did.
Oh wow! Consider me sold. I looked into smartbulbs a few years back and these details eluded me. That checks all my boxes.
We've known multiple people whom their building was expecting they'd continue their lease at the higher rent while offering the lower rents to the general public for new tenants. I'd encourage you to find out what they're advertising rents at for new tenants and then hold them to that advertised rent.
> Again, the ozone layer isn't "solved." It's "recovering."

Sure. But it's recovering, acid rain isn't solved either, but it's getting better.

Climate change is getting worse, every, single, year.
> It's almost like these people selling this bullshit don't want to actually solve the problem.

Couldn’t agree more strongly.

How can we ever reduce the number of dead kids from shootings without spending a huge amount of time deciding which Reason article’s belabored definition of “mass” is the best?

In your opinion, if that one gang related shooting was not categorized in a way that bothered you, how would it bring us closer to fixing this situation?
> For comparison to ICE cars - take a similarly-sized crossover like the Toyota RAV-4 which gets ~27 mpg. At current gas prices in my area of ~$4.50/gallon that works out to about $0.17 per mile. In the UK the petrol option is considerably more expensive: at ~$8/gallon the ICE option is closer to $0.30 per mile.

Friendly reminder that British gallons are not the same size as American ones ;)

I'm on the waitlist for the F150 EV as my first, and I'm certain the operating costs will be a fraction of the gasoline version. I'm really excited.
I guess I should mention, I have Go code for gtfs too, if it's of interest I can extract that too and get it up somewhere.
Yep, this is me. I’ve had the car since Monday and I’m becoming acquainted with all of the chargers around me until I can convince my apartment building to run a line from my electrical panel to a dryer style plug by my parking spot.
Only if we failed to get good.

We're stuck using 1970's technology & artisinally handcrafting each reactor. We're afraid & unwilling to try.

Oh plus we're unwilling to do common sense things like fuel-reprocessing. Projects like Integral Fast Reactor were incredibly safe, and had amazing fuel-reprocessing capabilities that also avoided most enrichment concerns. But were just politically unpalatable, because an ignorant & tense world wouldn't get that you couldn't make weapons this way & everyone was in cold-war mania.
Check out SOMA, dogpatch, Potrero, south beach, etc.

Rents are still significantly less around here than before the pandemic.
1. "Extremely popular" compared to what? Non-autonomous cars? Taxis? Bikes? Buses? Trains? Yeah, I could see people thinking it would be cool to get a self-driving car as a replacement for the occasional taxi, but why would people stop using the existing public transit alternatives that already work?

2 and 3. The American way for city growth is the cause of financial troubles for most cities. And I cited Amsterdam exactly why it works as an example of how you can redesign a city to reduce car-dependency step-wise. Take a look at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJp5q-R0lZ0_FCUbeVWK6... to see the economic problems that plague cities in the US, and how a lot of them are improving simply by changing zoning laws.
That's a weird way to calculate it. From an EV perspective it sounds like calculating fuel cost in bales of hay :)

In the UK such comparisons are typically done in pence per mile. EV efficiency varies, but it's typically somewhere between 3-4mi/kWh. At 57p per kWh (the current InstaVolt rate) DC fast charging is 14p-19p per mile.

At UK's current 170p/l petrol price, to pay 14p-19p per mile, you need an ICE car with 34-46mpg.

Home charging is about 20p per kWh, which is roughly 6p per mile. An ICE car with equivalent per-mile cost would need to have over 100mpg. People who are lucky to have a fixed-price tariff with off-peak rates can still get 2.5p/mile.
Not gonna lie reading this made me laugh, my wife asked me what was funny, and I tried to explain to her what Hacker News was and she then proceeded to drift off :p
Looks like I should stop the book series then and go pick up some Ts from WalMart
Thanks for the positive comment. I sometimes wonder what it feels like to be the parent of a child murdered in these communities, like the moms I see on Twitter occasionally doing anti-violence marches and rallies, and be told that your son or daughter's death is a "white supremacist talking point."

Lots of people in America, including black people, feel uncomfortable around poorer black communities because of the high rate of gun violence. Telling those people they're just uncomfortable because of "internalized white supremacy" or "white nationalist talking points" doesn't convince most and won't make them feel safe. This discomfort is the root of so-called white flight, social distance-keeping, school self-segregation, and other problems. If we fix the problem of gun violence in these communities, tackling other race-related issues gets easier. The first step is talking about it openly and honestly.
I know a few folks who moved to States like Colorado, Delaware, etc from Bay Area once their employers officially went fully remote. They all said Bay Area was unaffordable for them. These are mid-to-senior level tech guys, though not in FAANG companies.
I would revise this statement:
"mainly areas where renters are more OK with living in than homeowners would be willing to purchase in"

To say:
Areas that appear less like traditional neighborhoods with single family homes and more large modern condo buildings.

Our building, and many around ours are largely condos, not rentals. They don't look like traditional houses, but even in this more modern area with multi story buildings and retail all over the 1st floor it's not that it's a place that people don't want to buy homes, it's that there are no "homes" to buy, just condos.
This type of thing is my response to anyone who says "your code should be clear enough that it doesn't need comments": you can't encode external invariant into source code
Many buildings around us have not since raised their rents. Still bargains to be had.
Apartment dwellers will want to use the fastest charger regularly. They have to sit in their cars in some desolate location for the whole time, and they have to charge every week. Not an experience to prolong.
Don’t sell yourself short!

Those folks were bright hackers to be sure, but these days the best marker of a bright hacker or someone who intends to be is that they hang out on here.

You can look up my join date if you want, it’s a long time ago, but when I joined up on here I was green as grass and in this field experience, practice and hard work are at least as important to outcomes as native talent.

Oh, now I get it. Sorry, it was not obvious from the bug you've linked above - there it talked about a CNAME record referencing a bare hostname from a "proper" (non-mDNS) domain name, a fairly weird use case I don't quite get.

Yes, I do have a "proper" domain name for my LAN and my .local is for mDNS (although I don't think I've ever used it with short names, always foo.local explicit; and I use mDNS very infrequently) - guess which is why I haven't ever seen this behavior. Thank you for clarifying.
I just got an EV this week and I’ve been planning out some road trips. Projected cost for a 362 mile trip is $5.30. Cost for gas for the same trip is about $72 now. It that’s not diverged, I’d be interested to know what you would consider as diverged?
This is not true and it’s odd people still take this bait voluntarily. At best this line used to be cheap PR to avoid GPL and Linux disciples going ballistic and to keep media off the project as much as possible.

They’ve shipped Fuchsia on a real product now - the Nest Hub - they have Chrome working on Fuchsia, and an Android syscall interface in the works.

They removed this line from the site, possibly since it read as provocative, but for a few recent years they had updated Fuchsia.dev with “Fuchsia is not a science experiment”. Anyways, Google has a tendency to scrap projects as we all know but I don’t know if the recent trends point in that direction just yet, but it is possible - the project lead did leave recently and reportedly Meta were going to use Fuchsia for an AR/VR platform and switched to Android, likewise Google.
This is false. Compare electricity prices in France (over 70% nuclear) vs Germany (idiotic decision to close nuclear and depend on coal and Russian gas instead)
MIT Says We Could Build a House with Lab-Grown Wood
Oh wow, I've been using them for a while and had no idea. This is great, thanks for the tip!
Didnt know about the 1600 lumen version, looks like its not in stock in Australia.

The hue 800 ones were noticeably darker compared to the Lifx so I went with Lifx, this was many years back.
Right. This is what I think Fuchsia and Zircon probably are headed for long term but people really felt the compulsive contrarian need to stake out the experiment/retention project angle since so many saw the obvious but were hyperbolic about the timescale.
I worked with a guy that would go around singing this. It's the only way I can hear the lyrics now. Thanks Loren!

It's like my wife, she always sings the Ghostbusters theme "who you gonna call, then her name", or that song "this is how we do it" which she replaces with "pick your nose and chew it"
The Rust Cookbook [0] was meant to be one way of maintaining a curated list of crates though I don't know how much attention it has received since the 2018 edition documentation blitz.

As for a central batteries-included crate, its been tried a couple of times (e.g. stdx, ergo). Some things that I think would help drive it forward

- RFC 3243 [1] to allow for a central "front" for these crates without having to actually compile what you don't need or feature flags

- A compelling reason for people to adopt it. For a lot of existing projects, there isn't much motivation. I see the biggest benefit mostly being for prototyping and new users, so they need to cater to these users. Don't just re-export existing crates but lay things out in a natural, discoverable way. Also consider making things easier by keeping the Rust language knowledge to a minimum for end-users (even avoiding lifetimes where possible), don't overwhelm users with choices that won't matter in these contexts, etc. If the user needs more performance or flexibility, they can scale up to the crates being wrapped

I'm interested in working in this space but need to wrap up some other projects first. If anyone wants to work on this and is looking for a mentor, feel free to reach out to me.

Philips Scene Switch (formerly Choose Scene) cycle between warm and cool each power cycle.

I found the cool white too full resulting in a dull clinical grey look and ended up replacing them all with dimmable 150mm warm LED downlights.
> I simply observe that the SR by itself does not describe the outcomes of experiments.

No formalism describes the outcome of experiments by itself. There always needs to be an interpretation attached, and our choice of interpretation is always underdetermined by observation.

> The problem with this is that it is violently at odds with observations that every human makes every moment of their lives

Like all other interpretations of all other physical theories, MWI isn't and can't be at odds with our observations alone, because our observations alone aren't enough to imply any particular relationship between observations in general. And like all other interpretations, it is and must be at odds with competing interpretations, and in particular with the folk-physics model we're naturally inclined to use. But this means very little, because folk-physics is wrong, and this far from the paleolithic savanna, it's wrong in ways that matter. Intuition is evidence, but it's not particularly strong evidence, and it's certainly not proof.

> and it does not account for the Born rule.

Sure, it still needs a separate account of subjective probability. But so does everything else: it's just a little harder to notice in the classical regime, since the relevant probabilities are always either 1 or 0.
If you use dark mode everywhere you dont get that light. :)
I'm guessing it's more about ambient light sources besides the screen; it always makes me feel a lot more awake if I'm in a brighter room.
Is that a statement or a question?
Systematic changes are needed but it is naive to think that those systematic changes won’t impact everyday people
Do you think that people living in countries that are not car-dependent have all "perfectly aligned routes"? No, they use bicycles, they walk, they rely on better public transit than the one that is available to you.

But anyway, how does that relate to the original question? Are you trying to justify your interest in FSD with the argument that would you give you some network of autonomous taxis?
"climate change denialist"
is such a disturbing and dismaying characteristic for someone who should know better
What vehicle did you buy?
Agreed on all points, Japanese ceiling lights are wonderful. For context, the great majority of Japanese homes and apartments come with standardised, non-screw, ceiling light fixtures for which you purchase your own lights when you move in.

In fact, I had never even seen a building without these fixtures until I moved into my current apartment (built by Sekisui House in 2019) that for some reason has these horrible in-ceiling, spotlight-esque lights that are common at least in Europe. Whilet they have a somewhat yellow tint, they can not be dimmed. My solution was to grab a standard desk lamp and LED bulbs that came with a simple IR remote, so as not to torture my poor eyes at night.
The Leaf can run AC and charge, and the amount of charge time increase is negligible. To be honest though, I rarely charge anywhere other than my garage. If I do charge elsewhere, I just leave my car at the charger and go do other things, like get coffee or something.

I've also never charged for 90 minutes. The Leaf doesn't take that long for a full charge with rapid charging, not sure about other cars.
Lol. I’ve read part of this book but didn’t see the full title. This is a book by Simon Singh.

Limited housing stock and people upgrading from rental to a home goosed demand and prices.

Not in a down market. Everybody's a genius in a bull market, where you make money just because your assets went up in value. In a bear market, where your assets go down in value, anyone without cash flow goes bankrupt.
This outcome is acceptable to me, though I doubt the assertion. I don't think we are good enough at AI yet to put cars on the road with any amount of data. When we are I think we'll be capable of training them without having to put vehicles with dangerous behaviors on the road to gather data.
Decorative? The knots are literally categorized by application in traditional fields. That's why many of them are listed more than once: they have different applications in different fields, and go by different names.

Maybe you're thinking of a different book?
In zig code blocks are expressions and can appear in a lot of places, e.g. on the RHS of an assignment. Probably possible to not need the dot but considerably more complicated.

It doesn't really matter if the host knows, as long as you are allowed to switch to an open door.

If the host opens other door randomly, then 1/3 times the host accidentally shows the prize, and you still have 2/3 chance of winning by switching (measured from before the door was opened), switching either to the unknown closed door or the known winning open door.

With 100 doors, switching gives you 1/100 * 0 + 99/100 * 1/99 * 1 + 99/100 * 98/99 * 1 = 1/100 + 98/100 = 99/100

But, measured from after the doors open, with host having opened other doors uniform randomly, in the case where you didn't already win by directly being shown the prize (free win happens with frequency (doors-2)/doors, since you have to pick a loser and the host has to pick a loser to hide), then your chance of winning by switching is 1/2, making the naive answer correct (and for the correct reason)!
Maybe it's not about "creating something like Amazon" but rather helping people. There's more to "positive creations" than companies, in fact, if you asked a random person to rank "making Amazon" or "donating to charity" in terms of positivity, 9/10 would choose charity..
This problem is easily solved by just flooding the market.

These companies have the advantage of scale, and huge amounts of pre-existing capital.

Sony could make 100,000,000 PS5s and send them all out to retailers and just flood the market so drastically that scalpers can't make a dollar. All of those consoles will eventually sell, and the real money in consoles is, and always has been, the game sales anyway.
Quite wrong, we already have too many gun laws, and the NRA are partially responsible. But we're working on that.
Why would you factor your own efficiency against yourself? Why would you voluntarily ignore the fact that you are paying 4x more than the person filling up in petrol?

> That's a weird way to calculate it.

Why? Why would you ignore that you are paying 4x as much for the same energy? Why would you count your own energy-efficiency against yourself at the pump?

EV owners should be proud. They should take pride that their vehicle goes so far on 2 "gallons" of electricity. But the world should also face that gas prices are absurdly stupidly cheap, and that we are bad at electricity still, that electricity coming from the grid & through a charger is preposterously expensive. We should optimize & work on this, but right now we can't even see what a glaring absurdity it is that charging prices are so absurdly stupid high.

Having a uniform way to compare energy usage makes all the sense.
Tesla Model Y, loving it so far. It made driving fun again!
I think you're defining "quality learning" too narrowly. Coursera, Kahn Academy, et al are great but for real-world practical learning nothing beats the millions of videos on youtube on how to change the headlight on your 1998 Toyota Tercel or how to build a drip irrigation system or how to install DD-WRT on your old router or how to cook birria or how to operate a grigri.

It's amazing living with what seems like all human knowledge on tap. We haven't quite reached the point where you can call out "Tank, I need a pilot program for a B-212 helicopter" but damn it sure gets closer every year.

Imo, you have to choose between high perf 10x devs working in silos or a mediocre, but predictable team work that uses 10x as many devs to accomplish the same. The business wants to see a 10x dev as someone who "enables others to achieve more", but that's bs - 10x devs despise messy people problems and instead concentrate all their energy in one field. Nearly all geniuses were jerks on personal level.
Is this a self promotion?
Sure, but did this car have traffic or an intersection behind it? If so it's a non-story. Given the double parked garbage truck I think it's safe to say they weren't near an intersection, so cross traffic is unlikely. The car should have been able to look behind it, see the clear path, and move out of the way. Heck the whole supposed advantage of self-driving is it can watch in all directions at once.
I wrote a quick bash/jq script that would query target's redsky API to find out when an xbox series was available at my local target. I dropped this script into Rundeck and set it to notify me on success (success being an available xbox). One random Tuesday I got an alert but it was also dinner time. I saw ~230 available and thought enough time for me to eat dinner and place an order. Well 15 minutes later it was sold out. Fast forward two weeks later, i'm hanging out on a Saturday and get another alert. ~300 available this time. I spent 5 minutes trying to download the target app and then realized i had to make an account and by that time the available count dropped to ~180. I grabbed my wife's phone (she lives at target) and immediately placed a pickup order for the Xbox. I picked it up one hour later.
