Exactly - this is one of those things that the former Soviet Union and its successor has worked hard to deny happened, an effort that extends to writing down vague or incorrect causes of death for liquidators.

If you read the book Voice of Chernobyl (on which the TV series was based), by about half way through it becomes fairly obvious that a lot of the liquidators must have died of radiation related diseases after their service, just from references to "he was the last one of his group to die" etc. However there is a scientific literature, mostly derived from a single Russian Scientist, V. K. Ivanov and his team, that actively works on denying this. The biggest single indicator that something terrible happened is simply the life expectancy chart for Russia which shows a profound dip for about 5 years after Chernobyl. (This gets blamed on soaring alcoholism post collapse, which isn't particularly credible.) Generally I would treat claims that there was little contamination, and that contamination didn't spread, with scepticism. There was a lot of looting of the closed off areas.

Meanwhile the liquidators themselves are starting to get organised and their estimate is about 200,000 early deaths out of 600,000. Which does line up with the life expectancy chart.

The most recent documentary on Chernobyl using Russian archive footage has a few minutes hinting at significant mutations in children at at the time, but it's hard to know what the details are behind that.
It is well documented that they were there, and also true that there is no confirmation that they have suffered any effects as of today. https://www.iaea.org/newscenter/pressreleases/update-45-iaea...
There are few downsides compared to traditional bows. Those that do exist relate to capacity. In large ships, the bow shape is really only providing any kind of input during extremely rough seas. All modern ships will have a bulbous bow beneath the waterline for efficiency in calm waters. The x-bow design adoption is seen, to-date, in vessels that will operate in heavy weather and rough seas. So, we see the xbow in OSV and MODU type vessels particularly in the northern latitudes.
Ask HN: Is the tech startup space oversaturated?
It is more than likely that we are about to enter (and arguably we already are) in a overdue recession.

For someone that has an idea, built a working product and wants to scale it, the odds are greatly stacked against them with FAANG companies not helping in copying startups as if they are features, in addition to inflation and investors hesitant to invest as the “Good Times” are over.

Is there any point to building a startup in this climate? Has the ideas now run out?
I just buy decent phones. My OnePlus 8 doesn't even have a single scratch, despite no case/screen protector and lots of rough use.
I guess somebody important has a bonus tied to Amazon Music usage. Not that long ago, you could just buy an MP3 off Amazon. Now it takes you to the Amazon Music player (which is slow to load) and if the song isn't available on Amazon Music, instead of playing a 30 second sample it will play similar song instead. If you want to buy the MP3, you have to click on Purchase options menu to get to the old digital music listing.

And another thing is the auto-playing video reviews on the front page. No thanks.
I bought some replacement Macbook keycaps. In the pictures, they are shown in a tray. They come tossed in a plastic bag, and so have almost no chance of surviving shipping.

So naturally: "After carefully reviewing your submission, your review could not be posted to the website. It appears you reviewed shipping or packaging experience."

I finally got a review through by pointing out the misrepresentation that they did not come in a tray, and not mentioning breakage. So you have to read between the lines of that review.

I bought the next set of Aliexpress, and those were fine. What a garbage rule. On the one hand, I understand people are quick to complain... but there's no nuance, and it's definitely become stacked in sellers favour - at least the unscrupulous ones.
This is mythology.

What we need is a system based on laws with checks and balances that ensures the poor and the marginalized get their fair shake?
DDR5 is new and there isn't much demand yet so presumably the manufacturers are ramping supply gradually.

I also saw a rumor that the power management IC used by DDR5 DIMMs was in short supply.
Awful tradeoff.

I’d rather pay very slightly higher taxes to subsidize mail if necessary rather than having the USPS be self-sufficient as a spam expediting services for businesses.
Russia’s own military bloggers confirm this. These are the last people to do anything but parrot the government line.

The fact that morale has been low since the start is not evidence that it’s higher now. Russia’s performance has been consistently poor
PLONK and friends are interesting cryptography. What makes you call this bullshit, exactly?
> Russia has demonstrated tremendous will to fight on in a degraded state.

> Putin must be persuaded that the cost of additional invasions is not worth the benefit. The West must arm Ukraine to the teeth

So your plan for success as follows:

* Arm Ukraine to the teeth to fight Russia

* Ukraine loses anyway at a great cost of its human life

* Russia decides not to invade any more countries (success)

* (bonus) Ukraine now has to return these hopeless war loans

What's in it for Ukraine compared to just surrendering on day 3?
The UK monarchy is a circus that should be taken off the air! I can't believe this corrupt family is a matter of so much media attention! Just ignore these clowns! It's the 21st century and monarchy should be abolished entirely everywhere! Enough of these fairy tales about princesses, princes, and frog-kissing!

Basic income is like communism. Sounds good on paper. No matter where and how you try it, it will never be a true ubi experiment. And is ultimately doomed to fail because of human nature.
I've seen this a number of times, though I can't remember a recent example.

One site attempted to do it more intelligently, and the footer floated via z-index and pinned to the bottom of the window such that it was always visible despite the infinite scroll. Though they got it a little wrong and didn't account for the footer height in scroll calculations so if the content wasn't infinite so you could get to the end of the scroll, the last couple of lines were obscured by the footer. There must be quite a few ways to do this “properly” and smoothly (just thought of a couple right now, and I'm no front-end guy), assuming you consider automatic infinite scroll to ever be considered doing design “properly”.
Very nice to hear that. Being able to build from base images adds a level of confidence.

I see that it is first and foremost a tool written for personal productivity, so congrats on deciding to release it! No doubt, improvements can be added progressively, when/if they happen. Well done.
I'm losing confidence in Amazon so much that I will complain about their service but not make any change to my behavior.

also in 2022 six hours of battery life is not something I could life with. while you're right that you don't need to sit 6 hours in a single sitting, it could easily be that you don't have an option to charge.

The investors have “good data”. But even they know that only 10% of startups succeed. But HN and Reddit are full of wanna be analysts who think they can predict which startups will succeed if they have enough information.

Trying to value equity as employee or will it ever be worth anything might as well be buying books from the supermarket with winning lottery numbers.
But the problem with caps, is that people hit them.

As a hypothetical, imagine a polluting plant poisoning the neighbourhood.
You want them to know once their fine gets to $1M it's capped?
You've suddenly presented a clear choice to the plant - fix it if it'll cost less than $1M, if it'll cost more keep ignore.

If you're going to fine anybody "per unit of time", you have to keep it open-ended (as otherwise the only people who'll ignore you, are those making more profit per day, than the per day cost)
This is untrue. For the cheapest classes of mail, (e.g., "bulk rate") it is not returned, it is discarded.

This is great. I just discovered that in firefox you can have bookmarks without a title. So if you put this as the only item and without a title into the "Bookmarks Toolbar" folder, you have a simple button that you can add to your toolbar. This is hacky, but good enough for me.

That seems like a reasonable clause to me. It sounds like what anyone would want their union to do.
While one can increasingly do a lot of things electronically, there are certainly documents that governments send that expect a valid mailing address. And may have legal consequences if you don't respond to them. I receive a number of local bills for example that I'm not aware of an electronic option.
Overlapping but not identical concepts. I suppose you could say the x bow is a refinement of an inverted wave piercing bow. The thing that's distinct about the x bow is it has reserve buoyancy in both pitch directions, but is fine and wave piercing at the waterline. This gives advantages above an inverted bow in general.
How would you save memory using vectors for example relative to using CDR-coding?
Not defending this guy but NIMBY-types tend to attribute all negative things that occur in an area to the “black sheep” they don’t want around.
Exact opposite for me, I use a pobox, because they won't put junk in there.

For every person who is talking about how well they analyzed the success of their startup, there are nine who thought they were smart that you never hear about because their equity end up being worthless.

It’s the ultimate in survivorship bias.
The bow is only down as it pierces the oncoming wave in extreme seas. The important thing to consider about ship stability is that water on the deck of a ship is immediately inducing free surface effect and modifying the vessel buoyancy. The xbow design sheds the water and prevents free surface effect while reducing the impact of the bow on the wave.

They don't pay me, but I wish they did...
But, yes, there are a number of apps that work with the Apple Music subscription that aren't Apple apps. For example, Cider[1].

Ukraine has huge reserves of applicants for war that need training time. They’re hardly at max strength. It’s just a gradual build up.

Russia doesn’t have strong strategic bombardment capabilities, nor even air superiority. They’re also running out of military hardware needed to make use of. Their shitty 80 year old tanks are scraping the bottom of the barrel here.

Again, yes, Russia could go all out. They could launch nukes. But it’s something that would be very difficult. Putin may not survive if he tries to mobilize Moscow.
IIRC a lot of the initial DDR5 shortage was caused by short supply of the PMICs that are now included on each DIMM (where previous generations had the voltage regulation on the motherboard). I haven't heard anything recently about that issue.

AMD has announced that their new generation of desktop processors launching in the fall will use DDR5 exclusively, while Intel's current desktop processors can use DDR5 or DDR4 depending on the motherboard. So memory manufacturers should be preparing for a sharp increase in DDR5 demand instead of it just being a premium option.
Is our atmosphere more or less transparent to some parts of the frequency spectrum than others? Is the diffusion different?
It's hardly even a sale.
TLDR: the FBI was trying to catch some in the act of commiting a crime. This seems fine.

A separate issue mentioned, but was a completely separate event, was the DOJ trying to force the journalist into revealing a different source in a different leak. This does not seem fine, but it also failed
The downer is that every function call in this system has only string parameters.
Good question. Maybe you should ask the Ukrainians why they didn't surrender on day 3. In fact, why didn't they welcome Russia as liberators? Did the Evil West whisper in their collective ears, like Rasputin, casting a spell on them to become our puppets?

Or... could it simply be that Ukrainians hate the Russian invader as passionately as Russians still hate the Nazis today? Passionately and rightly, for invading their country and slaughtering millions of their people?

Putin, the delusional fool, has no idea the depth his evil imprint has forever laid upon Ukrainian-Russian relations. He thought that shared history, religion, etc. would excuse the oceans of blood, an entire nation's livelihood disrupted and destroyed. He thought he could brutalize Europeans into submission.

He was wrong, and now there is no turning back.

Equity is a lotto ticket, not an IOU.

If you join an established public company that offers RSUs, etc. thats different. Those can be traded for cash money, once vested. Getting your equity out of a startup before the IPO or public stage isn't as straightforward, or real.

Join startups because it's a thing you are so passionate about making, a thing that you think the world needs so badly that you are willing to make personal and professional sacrifices to bring it to reality. Join a startup because you love thr team, really want to work with them and really think that what your building is good for you, your community, the world.

The equity piece is just there so folks like us don't feel "Walter Whited" when our passion project makes a big impact, and the world rewards that impact with financial gains.
Well: Melitopol and Berdyansk and Kherson taken without a fight. Mariupol fell, Izyum fell, Liman fell and now Severodonetsk is falling. 90% of LNR is now controlled by Russia and allies. That's a lot of consistently poor performance for you.

I don't think you are qualified to read Russia's military bloggers. They usually write things such as "in this and that division, there are such and such problems". How does that translate to your claim that morale (of whom? of everybody?) being at rock bottom (for how long?)
> I file a report with the Better Business Bureau: https://www.bbb.org/file-a-complaint

Ah, the boomer/"greatest-generation" version of something like Angie's List. I used to believe in BBB too, until I realized it was just another middle-layer scam, sitting between businesses and consumers, with time-varying ideas over who should pay to either (a) get information (b) control information.
Any online order or phone order is an automatic opt-in to their catalog. I used to let my wife handle her own mail and I handled mine, but it got so out of control that I saved all her garbage for 1 month and showed it to her, and now I'm allowed to opt her out of everything. Took a few months but we finally got it down to the bare minimum. It's nice. If I miss a day or two of checking my mailbox, it doesn't overflow!
Yeah, I don't really think they have another 100 days in them without internal crisis far worse than what they feared in an early retreat.

The Ukraine is wise to stay away from the table and slowly grow stronger. I can't imagine a workable plan for Ukraine to keep Russian empire dreams from threatening it again in short order aside from keeping Russia politically trapped in military conflict until exhaustion. Hopefully enough of the west will support them even if they never go back to the table.
I paid my $2 processing fee two years ago, and I now seldom get any junk mail period.

I opted out of those and they stopped coming. Mine came with opt out instructions I assume because of a law, so yours probably do too.
Family and pets are some of the greatest form of companionship.

Online collaboration is pretty lame. It is very transactional, builds very shallow relationships and takes immense effort to agree on complex decisions. I have been doing fully remote since March 2020 (duh) and have met almost all the new colleagues since then in person for work offsites. Most common sentiment is that no one misses commute but otherwise, in-person is so much better to work with each other.

Funnily enough, my company toots the horn of fully-remote. But execs have started meeting in person regularly. It’s just not advertised broadly, but bumping into one of them occasionally and being friends with their assistants reveal so much about “remote for proles but in-person for execs” setup.
Well, I guess I'm really one of those people. There is no way I'm ever remembering correct arguments to `tar`. In fact, aliases or even the `untar` script that I have in the bashjazz/utils set... Like I would still be mentally trembling, wondering if it's really going to do what I expect it to. With respect to that, `gzip` is light years away. I have no idea why someone decided they need to ask users to enter four cli-arguments/flags in order for tar to do its job. Must have been a reason, it'd be interesting to look it up. But yes, everyone should pick their battles and `tar` ain't mine.

The last paragraph of the article mentions "intangibles", but doesn't follow up on it.

Prior to the postal and tariff changes, I bought a lot from Aliexpress. A lot. I still buy from there, but now I check to see if the same item is sold on Amazon. If I can get it in 2 days instead of 20-30, I’m often willing to pay a 5-10% premium on a low value item, just for the ease of return if nothing else.
