> Second, I don't believe this air purifier, or really any recommended air purifier is going to use 45 watts for any extended period of time.

The article says it is comparing to the Wirecutter's current "small space" pick, which since April 2022 has been the Levoit Core 300:

https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-air-purifier...

The Wirecutter measures it at “34.6 watts on medium (and 31.8 watts on low).” The manufacturer's specs give a “Rated Power” of 45W, which might correspond to the “high” setting:

45W for high is reasonable, but the other modes are weirdly inefficient. Even the low power mode uses several times more energy than medium on the filter I have in my living room. Maybe it's using the extra power to mine bitcoin.
How much do food miles matter and should you buy local produce?
Yeah, I'd say the term dark pattern only applies when services make it unnecessarily difficult to cancel your subscription. cough cough...NY Times
Thats a good question. The answer is no, for two reasons:

(1) there's no clear way to distinguish "absurd claims that have no basis in reality" from statements that are simply false, and

(2) there's no clear way to distinguish false statements from true ones. We don't have a truth meter.

In the absence of clear criteria, what would we do? Decide what is true ourselves? Not possible—we're ludicrously unqualified, and the community would never support it. Also, I shudder to think of the karma one would incur.

There are other factors too. The mandate of HN is intellectual curiosity (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...). Curiosity needs the freedom to get things wrong sometimes. Finding the truth involves probing the edges.

Another factor is community. It would not serve community to ban people, or kill posts, for being wrong. A true community allows people to be wrong—belonging is about relatedness, not correctness—and a robust community would withstand wrongness the way a robust immune system withstands pathogens. I'm not saying that HN is either a true community or a robust community, yet, but that is the aspiration.
Some are doing it better, some are doing it worse. There are Pinephone supporting distributions that use suspend to RAM aggressively, using autosleep and wakelocks, and all this Linux stuff Android uses too. You're just assuming somthing that's not true in your question.
Good job!
Would like to see it as an independent file format and tools like external editor support and cli compiler (to html/pdf/svg etc.)
Why automated? Quantity. There aren't enough people to review all YouTube footage and nobody could afford them anyway. YouTube would need strict limits on contents to get enough human analist and the platform would wither and die.

Why not add a complex system of DRM keys? Because the current system works, there is no de facto standard of copyright ownership (though certificates would work pretty easily, even X509 certs have an authority, an expiration date, and a revocation system) and there's no interest in setting something like that up.

Currently, copyright holders have all the power and Google doesn't really care about rights of the people who upload stuff. Why invest money into change? What competitor does it better?
I think you should be able to get pretty far with HTML5 <video> tag. You can also sprinkle something like playerjs or videojs to make it nicer.

You can buy activated charcoal underwear or inserts. They're probably less obvious and more effective than strapping an air purifier to your derrière.

In a broader sense you can't really take this advice and roll into a CTO role and repeat it. The problems are going to be different everywhere, even though the result might feel the same: Some 'slowness' at these congealed organizations where things aren't moving to the naked eye. That's where the similarities usually stop. You have to talk to the executives to figure out what the perceived issues are, and then talk to your staff (and skip all the way to the implementers) to figure out what their issues are too. Only with a full picture can you figure out what the problems are, and what some potential solutions might be.

* You cannot rely on people to provide face value suggestions or problems because politics is actually a thing.

* You cannot rely on people to provide meaningful action items because incentives are usually misaligned.

* The whole team will probably know about a division or group that needs to be fired and nobody will do it; if you don't then you immediately lose face.

* Companies at this scale usually value predictability over speed. So building reporting structures that values said predictability works wonders.
>Nazi revivalist group Azov Battalion

Russian propaganda loves pointing to the same few cases of Nazism in Ukraine. Ok, lets see that Russian propaganda misses at home - that for example is the Roskosmos CEO Rogozin, one of the most prominent voices around Putin and the Putin's favorite giving a Nazi salute and the end of his Nazi speech at the Russian Nazi march in Moscow. The specific phrase they all give Nazi salute to is "Glory to Russia!".

https://youtu.be/xkXVVcPWSU8?t=87

And for that antique Nazist paraphernalia that some Azov members supposedly had... Well, this is the Main Cathedral of Russian forces built in 2020 where they store various Hitler's "relics" (yep, exactly that term - "relikviya" - was used here by the Russian top military leadership!) including his uniform, medals, etc. and where walls and floor is made out of German's tank metal - basically they made a Hitler shrine (and can make a good money organizing pilgrimage here for the neo-Nazis across the world :).

https://images.theconversation.com/files/449001/original/fil...

Anyway, Russia is a full blown nazist state today like Germany was in 1939 and whatever Russia says, in particular about nazims, is worthless at best, and usually is just outright propaganda lie.

>the Russian-speaking population in eastern Ukraine and Crimea would ever agree

Definitely nobody is asking that population today. The Russian puppet regimes on those territories are terrorist states just like ISIS - the only difference is that ISIS preferred public beheadings while in those Donbass "republics" they kidnap and torture with fate of many unknown, though few mutilated bodies found so far of such disappeared people suggest that there is no good fate to expect.

>It's important to note that elements in Ukraine si
nce 2014 pushed a series of oppressive legal restrictions on the Russian-speaking segment of the population that were designed to push that entire group into second-class citizen state.

That wasn't push against Russian speaking population. That was push against various symbols of the totalitarian regime of USSR. In particular removing names from public places of the USSR leaders who ordered/led mass killings of millions of people, ie. Lenin, Stalin, and their close associates in that, etc.

The requirement for Ukrainian usage in Ukraine is the same for Russian-speaking as for say Hungarian- or Romanian-speaking minorities.

> I don't know of anyone who's had a crypto wallet drained by a third party where the wallet was secure

This is going back to the rsync v Dropbox discussion.

Yes, those who know all the steps necessary can spin up their own encrypted file sync server. 99.5% of the remaining user base will use Dropbox or some other managed solution.

Same with Coinbase and all the other exchanges. "nOt yOuR kEys" is not a good argument when there are millions going into ads and influencer videos pitching Coinbase as the de facto crypto equivalent to regulated brokerages. On Robinhood, people don't move their funds back to their bank acct after every single transaction and they don't expect to do so in crypto either.
> Minimalism is seriously a waste of time.

Depends on what a person values out of their travel. I totally get why people bring lots of things with them during travel.

I personally like being nimble and not having to pay extra for a checked back for air travel. Lugging around heavy bags really annoys me. If I'm playing my travel by ear, sticking to one light bag keeps things stress free. Minimalism is certainly not a waste of time in my case. It can be a waste of time if someone gets comfort, pleasure, or utility out of bringing things like kitchen hardware.

> I also only stay in places with washer/dryer and do laundry every day because of running.

Often times I don't know where exactly I'll end up, in which case I can't count on a washer and dryer. That's just my preference, and presumably that of others. It sounds like you're making the smart choice by traveling in a way that fits your lifestyle.

> I'm not going to hang disgusting sweaty clothes.

Yeah I agree. I don't rewear anything that's unwashed except for a pair of jeans.

> "Improvement from therapy is not something that’s easily measurable"

Is it not? I have commented before about the work of Dr David Burns[1], and one thing he drills over and over is that therapists need to start measuring their work, and it is easy, and they don't because they either don't want to hear that they are doing a bad job or they depend on their clients for long term income and so aren't incentivised to want improvement. He endorses a mood survey[2] which the patient/client fills in at the start and end of every session. If the patient self-reports "I feel 5/5 hopeless" and two sessions later they report "I feel 2/5 hopeless", isn't that a measurable improvment? if instead they say "I still feel 5/5 hopeless" isnt' that a measurable lack of improvment?

It isn't an objective quantification but if the reason for seeking help is self-reported bad feelings, and afterwards the bad feelings are reduced or gone, the evidence for improvement is at least as strong as the original evidence of a problem existing. And it's easy to find out if the bad feelings are reduced or gone by asking. See some examples in the podcast summary here[3] talking about studying the effectiveness of the therapy app they are working on: "two groups, including 60 participants with moderate to extremely severe depression at the start of the day, and 73 participants with no or only mild feelings of depression. [...] The reductions in depression in both groups, as well as the additional six negative feelings, were substantially greater than the reductions reported in large numbers of published outcome studies with cognitive therapy, other schools of therapy, and antidepressants. All seven types of feelings were dramatically reduced in both groups. For example, the depression reduction was 62% and 51% in the severe and mild groups, respectively, and the anger reduction was 70% and 81%, respectively"

and

"The feedback we received on the app has been largely totally unexpected. Some things that we thought were blow-away were criticized, and some parts that we thought were weak were strongly celebrated. This experience has been much like using David’s feedback scales in therapy. Therapists learn that their perceptions of how their patient feel are often not[?] off-base, and that many of your favorite techniques and strategies are not effective. This information, if processed with respect and humility, can transform your clinical practice."

That's like asking why doesn't everyone switch to landline phones since they have the same calling functionality as mobile phones.

Answer:
Well obviously, since landlines are missing the biggest feature mobiles phones have: portability.

Point I'm trying to make:
1. Apps are smoother than web experience
2. Have a much native-er feel, etc.

If app is available, I'd rather use an app.
I have three of the Fornuftig and am very pleased with them, save for the noise being quite bothersome at the highest setting.

Getting good information has been a nightmare and it’s nice to see a post calling out the utter nonsense that gets spread about HEPA and filtration, with no thoughts to diffusion.

The big problem I have now is that I would like to upgrade to the Starkvind smart purifiers as they’d be ideal, save for again not being able to get any decent information on filtration and flow rate.

If the author ever reads this, I’d absolutely love a deep dive like this one on the Starkvind!

when I'm hotel hopping for extended periods I just bring normal luggage. Maybe I should start bringing my backpack instead.

Wife and I use an Osprey Farpoint 40 [1] pack each when we travel. Max size for most overhead bins, comfortable for walking a few miles, and enough pockets to do some basic organizing. Longer trips might end up supplemented with a smaller carry-on bag (usually for my camera kit, or bike helmets and shoes if we’re cycling). It’s great for travel in Europe, where you often get off a train and the hotel/airbnb is a few blocks away (and hardly worth a cab/Uber).

If you think that US and EU investigators / regulators didn't know that every manufacturer was cheating on their emissions figures, I have a bridge in London to sell you.

Do you think EU politicians didn't know exactly what they were doing when they gave responsibility for reporting emissions figures to automakers and then blindly trusted them?

It's been an open secret for decades among 'chip' tuners that manufacturers have been cheating on emissions almost since microcontrollers were used for engine management...the extra code and extra lookup tables are there plain as day when you dump the roms.

Why do you think many tuners have functions that allow you to switch between a stock engine program and a tuned one, so you can pass emissions, by pushing various buttons on the dash or actuating the cruise control stalk in a certain pattern? Because those features are how OEMs activate the emissions cheating tables and code in their ECUs

Did you notice that there hasn't been any discussion on steps EU or US regulators have taken to detect this cheating?

Because of Safari.

Safari works amazingly for small websites, but for websites with infinite scrolling like Tumblr and Twitter, it becomes unbearably slow after the first hundred or so posts. Historically, Safari is slow to adopt new web features, and it STILL doesn't have web push notifications (and more).

You can run these same websites on Android Chrome just fine, even on a lower-powered Android phone. I'm not sure if they're using APIs that need to be polyfilled on Safari, or if Safari is just trash.

At this time, I'm convinced that if Apple allowed other browser engines on the App Store, this would not be a problem at all, not that I can test it out anyways.

So, yes, Apple still has a say.
Like many others I thought my family was predisposed to bad teeth based on the number of diagnosed cavities my sister and I had in HS/college (she had probably 10 fillings before college and I had 3). Then I moved to a new city and that last cavity I’d needed to get treated ASAP suddenly disappeared when I received my new dentist’s check up. She mentioned that there’s a lot of leeway in how cavities are defined and some dentists will lean very aggressive in their diagnosis (IMO crossing over into outright fraud or deception in my case). I’ve never had a cavity since that first dentist.
When the author states they want to fine the groups, specifically in the US, based on violating free speech principles, it is clear that they are referencing the legal free speech in which a government would impose a penalty when an institution violates the law.

I'd suggest reading: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/freewill/#FreeWillMoraRes... and jumping from there if you're interested.

There is a difference if you're empathetic or not. That's easily observable in reality. What you're arguing against is perhaps the moral attribution to a decision if you have no control? That is, of course, irrelevant to the discussion being had.
Well, land and property taxes are not the same- the notable difference being that property taxes penalize building/remodeling/additional construction and so forth. A big part of addressing NIMBYism is to remove the economic incentives for it, a lot of which is attempting to profit off of increasing land values, which is much harder with an LVT- so shifting the way that people think about housing, away from investment and towards a consumer good, goes a long way. Even beyond NIMBYism treating housing as a method for household wealthbuilding causes problems.
This modern 15 minute city notion has always struck me as an attempt to steal the branding of the old European walkable cities which went down the tubes with industrialization. A 15 minute space is all well and good, as long it's not just some mechanism for keeping me in a closed economic loop, the square footage of which I'm just supposed to grind away within for my whole life.
I like the opposite idea, that maybe we are all the same consciousness, projected in bodies that have different subjective experiences and memories.
