Imagine a some shady company building a dam, and due to their shitty practices the dam failed, there's a huge flood destroying whole cities, and you're blaming the person above you, because he pissed in the water. Yes, technically every mililiter of liquid matters, but we all know who the real culprit is, and shifting the blame to someone who likes good food, instead of the major puluters is a bad thing to do.
Induction stoves are seriously inferior to gas, in every way.

They are slower to heat.

They are more expensive to operate.

They are more fragile.

They rely on complex electronics vs. simple mechanics.

They require specific cookware made out of only certain materials.

They require direct contact with the "burner" to work.

In what possible way are they superior?

We've seen armour designs designed to stop them (reactive armour, and statistical armour [1]). Understanding the exact properties and design of the projectiles you're trying to stop is important for making these, for instance statistical armour is really designed to trick a specific fuse system into not firing.

Armour has not entirely lost the war, and even if some day it does, there's nothing saying that some new innovation won't let it catch back up.

> If you are descending at 40-50mph you have to remove your hand from your hood in order to see your map.

Well you don't have to, you can switch to the map screen before starting the descent. If you are willing to change screens while descending, the blame on safety is not on technology, but rather on your own decision to do so.
> It's another way to force people to use the handful of approved providers to send mail and it's really shitty.

You can always go and rent a server somewhere in a random datacenter, the lowest of the low VPS providers are at ~5€ a month, and send and receive mail from there. Hardly a "handful of providers".

There simply is no alternative to banning sending mail from residential IPs.
Populations of insects have collapsed, fish stocks have collapsed, biosphere is polluted by millions of tons of forever chemicals dumped into the Pacific ever year. Chemicals that keep accumulating in every life form.

Earlier puberty in girls by several years, lower testosterone in men by more than 50% in two generation. Intersex fish. Some species are even reproducing asexually which for some was thought impossible.

This is NOW. TODAY.

CO2 has become such a convenient misdirection device that the industry uses to keep your attention away from rather current things that can very well implode life as we know it well before any "climate problems" actually become disruptive as these all other pollutants are today.

Why else do you think Exxon is rated 100% ESG compliant? Yes! They bought some credits or whatever, but still dump a few million tons of actual pollutants that destroy life TODAY.

Just keep everyone spinning on the carbon hamster wheels.

It's the green way.
If you're worried about gas usage, the stove seems to be the wrong place to care as well. We use propane for our stove, which comes to somewhere in the neighborhood of $100/year (<30 gallons). Our space heating is oil, and that is over $2000 a year and is more energy dense (~1000 gallons).

If you want to have the most effect on usage, you'll worry about space heating not cooking. As long as your home is warm, you don't care. My wife specifically wanted gas for the stove instead of electric when we redid the kitchen, so we went through the effort to get propane.

The point of swatting isn't to get someone convicted, it's to get the police to harass someone.

Have you ever seen a no-knock raid? It happened to a house 5 houses down from where I live. They broke down the door and threw a couple of flash-bangs inside. Even from 5 houses away with all doors and windows closed, I could have sworn someone just fired off a cannon. Pretty sure they won't be fixing or paying for any damages either.
The bitrate can be way higher, but the latency is often much worse these days. It's high enough on most calls that I just don't like talking on the phone anymore and I think it's because of the latency.
I've been calling this kind of thing a "reputation attack". They come in all sorts of shapes.

Here's a common one: a platform allows you to create teams and invite other users to be members of those teams. The teams that a user is a member of are shown on their profile.

Someone could create a team called "Paid up members of the Nazi party" and add people as members!

That's why it's crucial to have a "accept invitation" step if you build anything like this.

Getting a lot of press these days is the similar thing where you can transfer an NFT to someone's wallet without their permission.
Chevy had one called the Volt, but ended production in 2019.

From Wikipedia:

“In 2018, General Motors decided to end production in March 2019. The primary reason given was that the Volt is a sedan, and sales of traditional sedans were in decline. Car salesmen were proving resistant to selling the car because it was more complicated (and thus took more of their time) to explain how the vehicle operated. Marketing trends showed that sales of hybrids were dropping as more customers were turning to all-electric vehicles like the Chevrolet Bolt. The range-anxiety associated with all-electric vehicles had been in decline due to better battery technology, and most hybrid drivers were turning on their gas-powered engines less frequently. The battery technology developed for the Volt had already been incorporated into the Bolt.”

> are inferior to induction stoves in almost every way

the one way in which they surpass induction stoves is the only thing that counts, instant control of the heat applied to the pan.
> And the founder himself is an ex-con, and he admits that he's actually guilty, and the crime he committed actually harmed people.

And the founder realized that his actions cause real harm, that hurting people is bad, and decided to dedicate his life to acts that did not hurt people.

He repented.

How have you changed your life based on the hurts you have caused others? Do you even admit that your actions have hurt others? Because I guarantee that you have caused pain, and harm.

I wonder if you know what true repentance is.
Maybe this is a bit too forgiving of Twitter, but do they even see Mastodon as a threat worthy of stifling in this manner?
> Those units ... are licensed to operate through 2025. ... So, they're not being "switched off", they've hit end-of-life

But that's not necessarily accurate, either. My dad worked in the nuclear industry all his career and specifically within the licensing group for maybe five or ten years. His job was, for a time, to relicense the plant that he worked at so they could continue after their 40 year initial licensure period.

Maybe Diablo happens to be end of life due to other issues, but saying that the license is up is not the same as it being end of life.
So if person X creates a Netlify site and connects it to a GitHub repo for deploys, and person Y commits to the repo, you to pay Netlify for 2 users?

And the only alternative to stay in the free tier is you have to say person Y isn't a Netlify user, meaning the build will only get triggered when person X triggers the build manually?

Wait, so bateria that are in your home are getting sucked into the filter like they're supposed to do, die and release endotoxins. But they're going to die anyway and still release those endotoxins but it's just going to be all over my couch that I sit on every day. Ok, maybe that nasty filter you haven't changed in a year provided an environment for the bacteria to grow and the fan disperses it. Sure, I get it if it's some nasty filter you haven't changed in over a year. That's why you don't wait a year to change them. That's like saying, "Bathrooms may provide a breeding ground for mould and bacteria making your home less hygienic!." Ya, no kidding. That's why you clean your bathroom.
Sure, but again, why's my _leader_ the non-technical person?

Listen, I've been around the block and I understand it's quite common for the PM or other similar softer roles to be given leadership.

I've seen this to the point where they both recruit and promote the techs themselves.

What I'm saying is it doesn't have to be like this. If the PMs job is to find and articulate value, and the Engineers job is to produce said value, on a well performing team, it's a match made in heaven.

A poor PM with dominance over tech will happily torpedo the Engineers career with little emphathy whilst doing so, so why do we assume tech leadership should be in a different department?

My opinion is align the Engineer KPIs with value, which aligns them with strong PMs, but allow them the autonomy to say no when it makes sense to.

Just an opinion tho :)
1. Did the DNS information transfer, or did it get reverted? In other words, could the domain still be pointing at the nefarious server?

2. Do law enforcement, as standard practice, have access to the history of domain ownership? Would they see that it was recently transferred, or not?

GHC (with GHCI) gives you this for Haskell. After moving from Haskell to C++ work, I really miss the interactive feedback loop (among many other things).
Most filters (especially the 1" and thicker ones) are surprisingly sturdy across most dimensions except for torsion.

Thinking about 3D printing, you could probably print a nice corner bit, that would hold the corner of 3 filters together and square to each other. That would make the whole assembly easier to put together and seal up with tape.

From what I understood of the article, disinfectant might not do much, because it's dead bacteria which are releasing these toxins as their cell walls rupture. Unless it's a disinfectant which turns these toxins into something less dangerous, lysol won't do much.

Or that was the hope, but unfortunately a lot of what made WebOS good was the synergy between his team's excellent design thinking and the clean, practical, well designed platform underlying it. Android is a mess because it tried to reinvent the wheel everywhere from day one, and then Google took over. Which means barely 15 years later it carries multiple Windows' worth of legacy garbage. They've done some lovely UI design, but they have been unsuccessful making that type of work anything more than skin deep.
I root for mastodon, but i don't think it becoming big enough to challenge any current social media platform.

Twitter may die, but i don't think mastodon would grow as much as you make it sound.

Probably not how it would work.
I'd love to understanding how this auto-tuning works. Could you ELI5 or share some resources? Thanks.
NEMA doesn’t define a plug that big, so it would have to be hard-wired, and probably has a cutoff switch.
FWIW I run a service that sends a decent amount of email to GMail users. While it was a bit slow to get started (messages being marked as spam) once I had sent for a month or two and had a few users that marked the messages as not-spam I don't appear to have any problems. I say this sending from a Digital Ocean IP address that occasionally changes. It appears that Google highly values domain reputation and that once I have got onto their good list I am doing OK.

Disclaimers: I make sure to do everything else right. I have SPF and DKIM and my DMARC policy is to reject 100%. I also don't use IPv6 (DO Kube doesn't really support IPv6 well).

I have found other major providers to be much worse. Microsoft seems to rely almost entirely on IP reputation and marks everything as spam, even accounts that have marked messages as "not spam" many, many times. Apple outright blocks the IP range.
> When people ask, "Have you ever been arrested," the answer will be "Yes."

And that's hoping you are a citizen. Because visa renewals (and permanent residency applications, etc) also ask the exact same question. Depending on the reason for the arrest, you can also be denied naturalization or be placed in deportation proceedings without an actual conviction being required. On the basis of your "moral character".
PTO is planned ahead and does not last a year. Strawman.
For sure, that overall number could vary a lot, and this really needs further breakdown that distinguishes between more minor, annoying effects versus fairly life altering ones (like new diabetes or significant kidney damage). There was another one about breakthrough outcomes that did distinguish a difference in risk reduction for various severe and non-severe post-acute effects (the TL;DR being, vaccine breakthroughs are less severe but still far from harmless):

https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1529477481127759872.html

Many of these are amenable to direct observation though. Research has already had many objective findings such as lung fibrosis, kidney function damage, abnormal liver function tests, shrunken brain matter (UK biobank study), etc.
So the overall number might be debateable, but this is almost certainly going to have a significant impact on the number of healthy workers, not to mention the personal tragedies behind those statistics.
> It doesn't allow you to build quick and easy solutions that allows you to lie to yourself

You can write perfectly fine solutions in a GC language without lying to yourself.

> my trust level to my Rust code is around 10x more than my Python code for the same problem

Python as a dynamically typed language is not the mark. Rust has a great static type system, but other GC languages offer that as well.
SWATing someone generally involves two things.

1. Somehow you get the IP address of the target maybe by playing a game with them (which can be p2p) or some other way of getting the IP address and then geolocating (this can partially be avoided by using a VPN
2. If someone is live-streaming outside in the real world you recognize where the person is.

I haven't heard of someone being SWATed by a nefarious actor inside a company and never really a domain probably because you either purchased some protection plan to avoid spam so that if someone looks you up on the domain they won't find any information and also most people don't self host things using their own domain.

With that said that doesn't mean it is impossible to occur.
For example Krebs on security has had SWATing attempts due to the content he posts. If you aren't live-streaming video games or doing IRL posts and or not reporting on bad actors you should consider other things to worry about.
That's interesting to hear! Based off of that I'd guess they are a pretty good employer, or they are fintech which means even if they are assholes they are paying well. Congrats to your friend!

I've been a serial startup guy my whole life and now at nearly 40 I'm starting what I plan to be my last tech startup. I will soon be hiring team members and I don't plan to build a business that isn't light and remote. With all of my new hires I will be installing a second internet connection in their house with gear I determine. This will give me complete control of the routing tables, security, and monitoring for connection issues and also they won't have to sometimes worry if my business is snooping on their personal life. I think there is market opportunity for the providers to see this happening and make it easier to do for business customers. IMO, it's critical.
bit off topic but could it possible to create "virtual objects" that can be moved around, provide/detect tactility? I know I've been obsessing with this since I read someones comment on here but you would essentially use sound waves to "conjure up" objects in a room that has ultrasound devices on walls, ceilings, floor etc.

Well clearly I understand that but I would think the less new cars being produced the better. There are a lot of cars sitting in used car lots.
I was in the same situation and ended up writing a browser based controller for the Duplo train using the Web Bluetooth API. It works best on mobiles in portrait mode and you can find it here: https://legotrain.netlify.app/

The source is a single HTML file that also contains the JS. Just view source and modify if you're interested in taking this further. What's cool is that the protocol allows you to receive readings from the train and not just send commands. Also, it allows you to drive the train faster than you can via the official mobile app.
That’s obviously very different. The contributions of the AI processing my phone camera does is not significant, and can be substituted relatively easily with Photoshop or similar software. It’s just a convenience feature.

Dall-E is the complete opposite. My contribution is insignificant (a prompt), whereas Dall-Es is 99% of the work.

> If I take a picture of a mountain with a camera, neither the mountain nor the camera hold copyright. DALL-E's just another tool in the toolbox.

Not sure how this contradicts my point. Nobody “owns” that mountain, so nobody could call your photo of it a derivative work.

If you take a photo of a frame of a movie, then who owns the rights to that photo? It’s not a raw frame, it’s a photo of a screen. Does that mean you didn’t just steal someone’s IP?

These questions need answers, and copyright laws try to answer them in as fair a way as possible. Dall E raises new questions, and thus we need to update copyright laws with new answers.

My personal view is that obtaining licensing for every single work used to train the model is impossible. So instead of simply making this type of AI research illegal, the fairest solution is to put that model into the public domain.

There are still financial incentives to perform this research, as the discoveries could be used later to train a commercial model with proper licensing.
How many man years wasted?

None if you use sanename.org conventions.
Have you used induction? My experience is that it's much more responsive than gas.
Agreed, I misspoke. What I meant to say is, I don't take believe Elon says is an honest "prediction" because I wouldn't be surprised if he reversed course completely within the same day, or was, "just trolling"
See this is where it's confusing to me. What's the difference between anti-competitive and regular business behavior?

When I go to X department store, they'll happily look up how items are priced on their website for price matching, but they won't look at the website for Y department store to whom they would also price match. Is that anti-competitive?

That's a long way around to what level do businesses have to help you in sending you to a competitor?
Same. I wouldn't have expected this amount of vitriol on a site for science and technology enthusiasts and hackers -- people who often are the builders in society -- about a guy who ... successfully builds electric cars and spaceships.

It's a shame because the thoughtful, moderate commenters just leave and are less likely to come back.

And btw SpaceX laid off around the same pct of workers a while back and they're doing fine now. Same with a lot of companies, some of which I was working for at the time, and I don't think their leadership was evil.
It's not really Google's fault to be honest. The need to warm up new IP's has existed for a while and a lot of providers do it. Any postmaster with experience knows how and why it's done.
All true. I would add that making market rules such that doing the right thing is not economically penalized, and doing the wrong thing is economically penalized, is one of the primary proper purposes of government regulation. Given how heavily regulated the taxi industry was prior to Uber/Lyft, it is all the more disappointing that this and many other injustices persisted. It is bad if an unregulated market is profoundly unjust, and just as unjust if there is some economic gloss over racial bias; it is even worse if the market IS heavily regulated, and things were still that way. If ever there were an industry that deserved to be disrupted, it was this one.

Which doesn't mean we couldn't do a lot better than the status quo, of course. And, given the likely economic death spiral that Uber and Lyft are in, we should start working on figuring out what that would be.
Then it becomes an 80k coin toss experiment :)
I wonder if some of the claims made by Musk are made simply to desensitize bullshit detectors. This is so patently absurd nobody in the press even bothers to contextualize it alongside, for example, the fake solar shingles, which were part and parcel of an alleged self-dealing merger. Maybe he thinks if he does enough purposeless bulshitting, the stuff that matters will also get overlooked.
right now, there are thermal properties around materials like copper which will not work with induction that mean there are things that simply can't be done with them, and resistive electric is horribly non-responsive.

As it happens, the latest installment of Technology Connections [1] does direct comparisons of the time required to boil a volume of water on various cooktop technologies. The winner was a cheap electric kettle, followed closely by an electric cooktop. A gas stove fared far worse.

This surprised me, but there's the evidence. In retrospect, the efficiency of the gas stove is significantly impaired because it's not able to transfer as much of its energy into the pot - much of it escapes around the sides.

To be fair, that's not quite the same thing as what you're saying: in car terms I'm comparing 0-60 acceleration times while you're comparing handling. But if I can stretch an analogy, a significant power advantage can cover a lot of sins in handling, see the famed Shelby Cobra for example.

I mean, what kind of domain name are you imagining is being registered and transferred to them? I'm imagining something relatively mundane but funny.
> Netscape 6 was not Firefox based.

I know. Firefox was not even an idea when Netscape 6 was released. However, inverse is true. Firefox is based on Netscape. It's just branched off actually. It started as a pared down version of SeaMonkey apparently.

The thing I was remembering from Knoppix 3.x days was "Mozilla Navigator" of SeaMonkey/Mozilla Suite, which is even older than Firefox, and discontinued 3 years later. I just booted the CD to look at it.

At the end of the day, Firefox is just Netscape Navigator, evolved.
>Anecdotally every single person who picked me up smoked weed

My experience in hitchhiking was the same ha ha, probably half the drivers were smoking while driving.
That's really interesting! I switched from electric to gas (I regret not doing induction) and I found the pm10 and 2.5 are very similar for both. It is Co2 and No2 and vocs that surprise me about the gas stove.
I'm no expert, just a lay person trying to make sense of it all but maybe the PM is from the food and therefore pretty consistent for all types of cooking?
