Use the construction the author is using, i.e. the emanating sound waves, but you'll have to start them where it all starts, i.e. at take-off, and not simply appearing right next to you. Then, correct the drawing by having the plane move slower than the sound waves. The first sound you should be hearing as observer will be the take-off (if you could hear it) at the airport, and the aircraft will be wherever it is afterwards.

I had viral pericarditis after a cold one time, but it appeared about 2 months after I had recovered.

That's pretty common with autoimmune conditions triggered by IgG autoimmunity response.

But we understand autoimmunity in response to individual exposure to antigens pretty well and while 1-7 days is probably too short to see a lot of responses, over 3 months is highly unlikely. There can be a long tail of certain individuals having autoimmune responses up until 2 years later, but in a population study if you capture nearly all the responses after 3 months. If you don't see anything 3 months later then there's no hidden long-term effects waiting to happen years later.

And there's nothing fundamentally unique about the mRNA vaccinations that would cause anything different. It is just a dose of mRNA that looks like any other mRNA payload from a virus which is wrapped in a lipid package that fuses with the lipids in your cell wall (and we understand the allergy to PEG that some people have against the lipid nanoparticle itself). All of the 200 years of understanding of vaccinations and hundreds of years of autoimmune conditions subsequent to viruses still apply to the mRNA vaccines. The "no we don't understand anything about these new things and the clock starts from zero" is just a fantastically ignorant argument based on no understanding of what the vaccines are built from and what vaccines and viruses are and how they interact with the immune system.

So both of you are kind of wrong. 7 days is too short, but 90 days is all you need.

I absolutely agree that we should be conscious of privilege and (dis)advantages that we've had in life.

I also agree that the focus should be on improving income, and being able to answer "yes" to all of the questions in that list that the author poses.

However, I believe that we should focus on the things that we can control. We can control our budget and spending. All of us can attempt to prioritize the things that will improve our situation (debt removal, investments, emergency nest-egg, etc).

As someone else said, budgeting can't make you rich, but it can remove obstacles that keep you from being rich.

Other things that one can do to improve their situation is: Changing careers, activism to improve equality and to remove "poverty traps".

These should be the focus. Focusing on one's own victimhood is a focus on things that one can't control, which would results in frustration and despair.
>The blockchain bit will fall away for the most part because the big guys will not actually let the “trustless” system become the seat of power in the economy.

its not the big guys who forced crypto to adopt a centralised scam coin like Tether. the vast majority of "crypto" transactions happen on centralised exchanges. the "blockchain bit" didnt matter to begin with.
Really? That sounds pretty unlikely with agricultural societies getting up at 5, or safe before, say, the 1900s in most countries.
My child is following in my footsteps and has been prescribed glasses for nearsightedness. Her optometrist told us she should be watching TV rather than reading books. This was both surprising and upsetting, especially since she loves reading.

This lead me on an interesting deep dive into existing research. What surprised me were the massive gaps in understanding. Scientist have at best established correlation between close up work and nearsightedness, and a negative correlation with spending time outside. The actual mechanism in play is unknown, for example the theories about sunlight are still untested. The specific types of close up work that cause issues is unknown. Some scientists have proposed that it's the contrast between white pages and black text that actually causes issues with reading.

My conclusion was that anyone who confidently asserts that $x causes nearsightedness is wrong (this thread is a case in point).
I honestly don't know what it is and am completely agnostic to whether it was created by man or supernatural being or alien or whatever. But there's a lot of evidence that many of them were created near-instantly, and they always leave a unique radiation signature. I'm not aware of a technology that can do that, but perhaps it's out there.

> Too many icons and logos (even the Y on the top left here in HN) look blurry on a simple 4K monitor with 200% scaling (which is not uncommon now).

This has been an issue with application icons on Windows for a long time. For many applications the largest icon would be 32x32. So when they changed the default desktop icon size to 48x48, those all looked terrible. I hated seeing blurry icons enough that I would make a larger version myself if I couldn't find a decent replacement online

In some cases I would actually need to make a custom 16x16 or 24x24 icon, because whoever made the icon went the easy route of just scaling down a larger icon to create the small ones. Even if the source is a vector, most icons will not scale down to those sizes and retain readability since the details disappear. Alignment to the pixel grid is essential for tiny icons. In these cases I would have to use Resource Hacker to modify the icon stored in the executable (for desktop icons that wasn't needed since you can change a shortcut to use any icon file).

> For pure e-fuels they project 32 PWh. That is, to put it in perspective, more than the total world electricity production today.

Total annual electricity production is 161 PWh. THe PDF you linked puts it in perspective by saying that if it were purely powered by renewable energy it would increase the size of the renewable energy sector by 3 to 5 times. In other words this doesn't sound hard at all from an electricity standpoint. If electrical generation were half the cost it would be economical right now.

It’s an oversimplification of my income for clarity. In this scenario you make 100k and never more or less (no raises, no other income sources). If you live outside of California or NYC saving 30% is very doable if you’re fiscally responsible, which if your goal is to be a millionaire is a good prerequisite.

I made 36k out of college but now make 135k. I saved 0% at the start and save over 30% now. Assuming I’ll keep getting raises I’ll be a millionaire. My goal was to show OP that you don’t need to start a business to become a millionaire, working in tech for a long career with financial literacy will also get you there.
I still haven’t seen a good video showing the creation of a REALLY GOOD circle, like some of the amazing ones from the late 90’s.

You’d think by now there would be video prrof all over youtube of these circles being made.

Have I jus5 not looked in the right places? Anyone have a link?

Surely with gopro night vision etc. someone can easily show us how they make these circles?

Ahhhh, or it is a secret? A trade secret … the artist doesn’t reveal their techniques? How convenient.

I’ll apply same reasoning to circles than ufos : prove me you make them.

The "burden of proof" is on both sides.

Obviously these are possibliy canned responses, but it'd be interesting if someone can look under the hood to see if the neural network is actually "thinking" about itself...

I’m writing a paper about soul in design (no one wants a soulless design, right?), so I’ve been nerding out on the concepts recently.

First, it seems that soul is more easily rationalized as a shared phenomenon rather than a uniquely individual one. One can view their soul as an accretion of all the “soul stuff” they’ve encountered over the years. Meaning, our individual soul is really based on the influence of all the people we know, etc. If you have shared souls, then reincarnation is mundane: every time you engage someone, you are mutually reincarnating each other’s soul-material.

Classically, soul was not the same as consciousness or sensation. Soul was found in the world of eternal immaterial forms; soul plus body was required for conscious experience or sensation to take place. The earliest attestation of this view was Philolaus, the Pythagorean.

Lithium Battery are already enough to power some airplanes. Airplanes now in development using current battery tech are already targeting many niches.

They will not fly across oceans for a while but a lot of aviation is limited to one continent.

And beyond that, the cheaper operational cost, can change how flights routes significantly and even open more markets.

The problem with airplanes is partly that it takes a very long time to design a new one and the cost are significant. To create a longer range electric plane, you need to really start from the ground up, and rethink the airplane. Even with cars this took 10-15 years. For planes it will be even more difficult.

It sounds like you’re supposed to sympathize with the mother in this article but you need to be careful, especially when a court system—- that is generally incredibly biased against the father— makes a ruling in his favor.

Apple gives no shit about being pixel-perfect lately. Try using modern macOS on a non-retina display and your eyes will bleed because every single icon is drawn as if there's no pixel grid whatsoever. Everything is a blurry mess. Steve Jobs would've definitely fired someone over this, yet with Tim Cook it stays unfixed for more than 2 years — I'd guess because pixel-perfect icons don't affect the bottom line.

I don’t understand the fuss about backpropagation being impossible in brains. [1] Postsynaptic neurons do often connect to presynaptic neurons, ie “backwards” signalling, and sometimes whole circuits are involved to do this. I’m not sure if that maps perfectly to the backpropagation mechanism in ANNs, but isn’t it functionally essentially the same?

[1] And the cited Nature paper does not seem to say exactly what the article says.

It's more likely that it works for a large majority. If you were born myopic or had an accident or something similar, yea it most likely wont work for you. But most myopes do not fall in those categories. I'm very open to hearing your arguments backing up your statement though.
My overall opinion on this is mixed.

> The Good: I think even mentioning the lack of sleep for kids as a problem is a good first step. As far as physical health, learning, and daily mood goes, good sleep is a really big part of the equation.

> The Bad: Despite having a later wakeup time, I think most teens probably will not get a whole lot of extra sleep. Kids are kids and will stay up later to play games, watch movies, or do whatever else they love to do knowing that they have more time to sleep in.

> The Ugly: I think acknowledging the mental health crises among many kids is a good step, but I don't think you're going to really fix anybody who might be in a danger zone by telling them that they have the option to wake up a bit later. I sincerely doubt that a sleep deficit is the issue that inspires extremely negative life-threatening behavior among anybody.

PS: As a practical matter, was it mentioned in this article if ending times for schools were changed by this new policy? If it was, I didn't notice it, and that's what I wanted to see mentioned here. I'm just thinking about my own past experience, but if school begins say an hour later but also ends an hour later, I'm not sure that would have been a net benefit to school-aged me. It would have been very difficult for me to get all the way out to my soccer practice or work my part-time, after-school job if the school's ending time was pushed back.
The point is that when asked about its experiences, it should be capable of relating its actual experiences instead of filling in some most likely next characters in order to construct a response whose meaning contradicts what we know about its experiences. Because the latter happened, this conversation was useful to show that the conversational partner is not sentient, which is my point to rockbruno about the usefulness of asking it questions we know the answers to.
The problem is, - is the time/life/worth balance worth it?

I would agree, yes, stick in tech 40 years, you'd be a millionaire, even 5-10, but at that point, I feel you should exit - and live your life and do your "thing."

It's one thing to try and succeed, another to try and fail, and ironically, when most people have assets/liquidity, they're in the part of the life that failing and restarting is hard, if not impractical all together. I've seen this many a time, growing up in Florida - and it does make the route of being a "office drone" for 40 years, appeasing, or even getting a 100k+ salary via a public sector job, and a pension to retire on and the ease/slowness of the work.

But, then again, this can work for almost "anyone" - meaning the term, millionaire, doesn't mean much what it used too - nor the purchasing power.

It comes down really to what you want in life, and even me, in my early 30's makes me wonder what amount of money/security is necessary to have a life I want.

Millionaire because you worked 40 years in a company, and took it safe.

Millionaire cause you worked in a company, pivioted, and created your own thing and succeeded.

While not related to money, I feel a just comparision is this Star Trek scene, where, there is a bit of missing context if you don't know the series but the tone/message should get across: the easier path doesn't always mean the one that's most rewarding:

Actually no. The latest generation of MacBooks increases the screen dpi and the default setting is actual real 2x scaling. Though it doesn't help much because see my reply to the parent comment. It's noticeable on retina too, just not as much.
I wonder how much of this problem is caused by our sedentary lifestyles.

I am a bit of a night owl myself, but I sleep much more soundly if I have a lot of physical activity across the day. If I walk 20 000 steps and spend an hour in the gym, I have no trouble falling asleep.

Teenagers being the bombs of energy that they are, might need some 5-6 hours of physical activity to actually tire and sleep well. But a typical highschooler sits most of the day on his/her ass.

>Papers contain prose, artistic representations (figures), potentially photographs, and other stylistic elements that are clearly copyrightable. //

In copyright there is already a concept (in UK caselaw at the very least) that things that can only be presented in a limited way are effectively not artistic enough to gain copyright. A scientific paper can have artistic prose and such, but the purpose is to make a factual presentation. I'd be happy to allow people to chose to state that their paper is not a presentation of facts, but such things should not be accepted into scientific corpus and should be excluded when considering if an author has fulfilled a contract to produce a scientific paper, or fulfilled a duty to do scientific research.

Photographs which are slavish reproductions---which a photo of apparatus needs to be in order to be scientifically useful---are not artistic works, for example. You can choose puce headings with lilac lines for your table but if it's in a scientific paper the purpose is informational [if that wasn't your purpose then you shouldn't have done it]. Coloured diagrams, sure, if they're used outside the context of the paper, and were manually manipulated, then allow them to be considered artistic works; but in the context of the paper they're presentations of supposed facts.

I don't doubt you can lawyer your way into arguing your scientific paper is a trademark, or a registered design, but it seems entirely reasonable to simply prevent such things with ab exclusion clause in the legislation like "scientific papers are not subject to IP laws and can be shared freely". Of course you need to say what a paper is (something published as if it were a paper, or submitted to a journal as it were a paper, or made available publicly as if were a paper).

You don't have to remove the code, you can just pin the version you're using and go for quite some time (sensitive to security context). Most builds are pretty easy to do with 5 minutes of following instructions or whatever build tool.

Also, you only have to do it if you're the only one left. Chances are very good that there are others in the community that may step up wholly or in part. Sure the risk is non-zero, but the point of freedom is that you could if it came to that.
