He doesn't do any of that in his video about Running Up That Hill. Can you point to a favorite video of yours that I might be able to check out for more of what you described?
Also if it's possible to run everything without uploading it to S3. For a smaller time dev with projects in production I would find this really interesting for debugging the production database data, but in development. Uploading it and having it in S3 would needlessly complicate it for me (even though I can understand enterprise customers might prefer it that way)
> For most of us, the distinct odour of bitter almonds is indeed the scent of cyanide, but up to 40 percent of the population —presumably including a few unfortunate detectives —have a complete genetic inability to smell the poison.

Now I'm curious whether I'm one of them--I suspect it might be difficult to order some bitter almonds to test, IIRC they aren't generally sold in their toxic form in the US.

For me the biggest blocker was over-focusing on the numbers going up and down. On lichess you can make all ratings invisible (bottom of the preferences page, "Show player ratings"). This means you can't see your own rating or your opponent's. Your opponent can obviously still see both if he or she doesn't have this option enabled.
I see no reason to be a staunch defender of bullshit unjust laws meant to stifle innovation and uphold monopolistic behaviors. The executives can hold their heads high at their acts of corporate level civil disobedience.
Poe's Law can make it hard to tell, but to me it looks like someone satirizing the extremes of anti-capitalist ideology.

Here is another visualization of gas flow of Nordstream 1 I built

Do you honestly believe that is a fair summary of the article?

The decision to shut them down happened long ago. They voted against a proposal from the opposition to revert that. The plants were planned to shut down since a long time, there is a lot of unsolved issues around keeping them running, like fuel and personnel. The plants also would impact gas usage only by 1% and electricity isn't a great replacement short term for all the gas used.

In hindsight I think the decision to get out of nuclear was wrong, especially before getting out of coal. But keeping the last 3 running for some more months isn't really a solution for anything.
they stopped maintenance of these nuclear power plants 3 years ago because they "knew" they were out of life. Thus, they don't have the people or the safety measurements in place to go on with nuclear. Also, if the greens have no problem going further with coal, they wouldn't have a problem going on with nuclear (for a little while). So, it's definitely based on facts and not on idealism.

Also (I still don't understand HN's hype for nuclear), let's not forget how often and much the nuclear plants have to stand still because of xyz (e.g. too little cooling water, which was the case in France in the last months).
This is a great insight. Mapping productivity over collaboration intensity is a concave function. Its maximum is nowhere near the extreme ends.

Yet, if people are near the maximum they might desire more of what has worked in getting them there, but to their right they’ll only find decline.

This is such a common fallacy I wonder if it has a name.

Can’t speak for the east coast, but the west coast accreditation organization (I forget the name) has a fairly clear set of standards for accreditation that boil down to:

1. Facilities required for accreditation (library, labs, offices, etc)

2. Degree programs and learning objectives (e.g. Bachelors of Computer Science and a list of competencies said degree asserts)

3. Processes and procedures, particularly around course management and curriculum. A big part of this is mapping out your listed degree requirements to classes that either provide those competencies or provide building blocks required for those competencies. E.g. Calc -> Lambda Calc -> Category Theory to provide a lot of fundamental math skills for a proposed CS curriculum.

EDIT: found them—the Western Association of Schools and Colleges is the organization that performs accreditations of colleges in California: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Association_of_Schoo...
If they are consistent, the last oil/gas electricity production plants should be shut down at the same time.
> Simple test: will it hurt more _overall_ to suddenly lose them or keep them?

Suddenly is doing a lot of the work here. Can police be unbundled over the course of years and result in an overall net good? Emphatically yes. We should examine the forces that prevent such an unbundling from taking place and work toward rendering them impotent.

Non-inssurance-covered* bullet wounds.
So you suppose some, not all, people embellish. How many people telling you horror stories would it take before you thought “ok maybe there’s something seriously wrong here.” What would it realistically take for you to change your mind?
It still wouldn't matter. There's not a single cryptocurrency on the planet that will deliver us from capitalism until it's market cap surpasses the USD (hint: as long as the IMF exists, this will never happen). Until then, the US government still dictates how capital moves. Furthermore, even if crypto wasn't a second or third-class currency, there's no fair system of governance or administration that could assure that capital is being distributed equitably. You're suggesting a system that is ripe for abuse, and then denying that anything bad will happen because you haven't put forth any concrete solutions. You can wax philosophical about decentralized network and fighting "the man" all day, but this kind of armchair debate is why nothing ever gets done in the crypto space. The advocates refuse to let their actions speak louder than their words.
Having cheated at a few competitive multiplayer video games over the years, this is one of a few good answers, particularly when it comes to FPS. That, and many such video games induce boredom so quickly, and almost always the reward at the end is not worth the time spent getting there. Sometimes I'm glad I didn't waste my time getting to end-game content just to find out it was more of the same (or garbage) anyway. I don't play multiplayer games anymore, at all really, unless it's cooperative/integrated like Elden Ring.

I think something like chess is different; cheating in video games feels more similar to hacking around some software just because you can and it's interesting.

The carve-out is for "occupants of a vehicle that is the subject of a police stop." My right to record the police shouldn't rest on whether a state judge interprets a public bus or subway in that manner; it's a ridiculous hair to split.

Another example: during a protest, the police might decide to kettle[1] a group of protestors to control them. As a bystander, I can be caught in the kettle. I'm not the target of the police action, and yet this law suggests that my recording might be criminal.

The problem with errors in Rust is that the stdlib defined Error as a trait and traits are hard to use (not sized, etc). The current state of affairs with thiserror and anyhow is not satisfactory if we want to ease the Rust learning curve.

There is no way this was automatic parking. The only way for that to happen is if the Tesla hit it at speed. This was a rest area, where off ramps lead directly into parking lots where trucks are parked in rows in the middle of the lot. It was almost certainly the result of an inattentive driver plowing into the truck from the off ramp.
Sure but this is Germany, a financial and manufacturing powerhouse in the world. If they decided they wanted these plants to keep running I can't imagine they would have any trouble at all doing so.
Hard to believe that the US government just doesn't cut them off unless they sever all ties with China. Again Trump was a garbage President and dumpster fire of a human being, but he definitely got that right. It's a national security matter at this point.
> And children chose to work in the coal mines and die of blacklung

Are you saying the average Uber driver has no more ability to make decisions for themselves than the average child? Uber drivers cannot consent? I reckon they must also be prevented from buying cigarettes and having sex? This is absurd. An adult entering into a voluntary contract is profoundly different than a child being forced into work, in fact it's the main thing that it means to be an adult. What sort of weird infantilization does this line of logic even come from?
Glad to hear, and you're welcome!
I remember this being true in my home place (Kerala, India) till ~2016. Local autos/taxis were unreliable in some parts or would charge you exorbitant fees depending on your situation (Eg: if you were a woman traveling home at night). Uber really changed things in terms of reliability. Local taxi drivers would often resort to violence against Uber drivers for encroaching on their turf. Example video: (The driver eventually steps out of the car and gets beaten up).

330uH is a pretty big inductor for FM/VHF. RV1 controls RF gain (think of TR1 as two JFETs, one a current source and one a common source amplifier in a small signal model). TUNE VOLTS changes the resonant frequency of the two tank circuits. TR2/TR3 is an impedance buffer. The rest is decoupling.

Looks like a tunable preselector to me rather than a receiver. So part of a receiver yes.
So instead of virtual domination by one very large local incumbent with 200 subsidiaries, you have two foreign cab companies. That's an improvement?

The geometric description of the universe is a high-level description of the universe, but its just a description, its not what fundamentally is. The large-scale universe emerges from the low-level behaviours of its smallest parts, the particles and the vacuum.

Causality is not a product of the universe, but the other way around.
> Does it, in fact, intimate that collaboration may have become a buzzword for a collective that is more a bureaucracy than a truly productive organism?

I recently worked at a company that hired Agile consultants to install SAFe. We had PI planning each quarter, which ran for 3 full days. At its conclusion, the consultants, leaders, and PMO always called it "successful collaboration." I guess they were having lots of fun ... but the engineers were not. Most of it was us guessing estimates for things 6 weeks out, and management turning that into commitments. Needless to say, this whole circus became negative experience for almost all the producers.
You keep responding to something else that has literally zero relevance to what I'm saying, and to reality.

Facts of life:

- all cryptocurrencies have a limited supply

- all cryptocurrencies are built to be deflationary

- in all cryptocurrencies 50 years from now people will be getting fractions of a fraction of a coin because currencies have a limited supply

- if you get one/two/ten <coins> of whatever currency early, they will inevitably make you rich in comparison to anyone 50 years in the future because you got hold of something that is by definition in limited supply (well, in case this particular coin has any particular value or even exists in 50 years)

None of this has anything to do with inflation or dumping coins, or "smart" "contracts".

It says “five fewer collaboration hours”. It’s not clear how many hours of collaboration we’re talking.

It’d be interesting to see the actual figures before drawing a conclusion.

On one hand I can imagine if you’re spending all your time in meetings it would be frustrating, meanwhile I’ve what happens when teams don’t collaborate, it’s not a pleasant experience, it just causes tension to build up.
Doctors aren't actually that good at their jobs once you start recording patient outcomes. It probably makes no sense to continue the current method, but the AMA is the one that controls it, and making it hard makes the value of their labor more expensive.

In a weird way it reminds me of many of the TCUs (tribal colleges & universities) where trades / vocational degrees are taught along side "normal" college classes. Its actually a pretty good idea and if properly done can result in some really nice interaction.

I really wish that someone will mix a vocational robotics certificate with an actual robotic engineering degree. I just want to see the interaction. I dearly wish the result of the technicians having to build something designed by the engineering degree.
I'm likewise unconvinced by that section of the article (which is interesting to read nonetheless!).

The benefit of hexes is that every neighbor is the same. There are no "special" kind of adjacencies, like with squares or triangles, where you must decide how to consider corners, whether to allow diagonals, etc. So hexes are the only ones that don't mess up distances nor require separate kinds of adjacencies.

Also: if tracing a line from the center point of the origin triangle, some of those paths require crossing another adjacent triangle (different from the "direction" triangle). This to me signals this triangular grid is wonky for wargames/games.

I did maybe 10-15 years ago. There was a chess game on Xbox live and I found a chess program (I forget what it was now) and wanted to try it out. I think I played 2 or 3 games like that, got bored and never did it again. It was more of a "let's see if I can do it" sort of thing, sort of funny and probably more novel of an idea at the time.

I have no idea why you would do it on a ongoing basis. It would be so boring, all you do is transcribe moves back and forth.
Bulgari made a much better looking flat watch IMO but unfortunately it was fatter than this one.
I don’t (currently) think water is wasted in any meaningful way by my swimming pool. When it evaporates it turns to water vapor. Then it comes back down as liquid water when it rains. There is an argument that we put extra work into this water to transport it and make it potable - but PHX’s water is positive sum. Water demand in the valley is accounted for during construction and sourcing it is part of the project cost. I’m also prepared to pay the cost of continued sourcing of water over time as the valley grows - including projects like desalination.

And who, in his Nobel Prize acceptance speech, pointed out it was "a temporary success in man’s war against hunger and deprivation ... But the frightening power of human reproduction must also be curbed; otherwise the success of the green revolution will be ephemeral only."

>> Western European governments were persuaded to stop supplying fertilizer to Africa.

That's valuable feedback. The only thing its used for is to see what of your friends are already on the platform for you to find them and follow them (if you choose to do so and opt in, it is completely optional to take that action). This was actually a feature request from Whatcha's beta users. I think making phone an optional choice overall is a great idea, though.
Thanks for pointing this game out: seems interesting, cool artwork, Dark Sun vibes, works on Linux --> autobuy.

That said, most reviews mention it's punishingly, almost unfairly difficult. I took the plunge anyway, sending my money to indie devs that want to try something new, but if I find it too difficult I'll probably end up giving up in frustration.

What was your experience with this game?
Except somehow they seem to be exempt from the consequences of their mistakes. And just because some of the people they interact with did something wrong does not give the police carte blanche to do whatever they want.

Ask HN: What's the reason that Airbnb Experiences never took off?
When Airbnb introduced Experiences - pivoting from being a marketplace of accomodations to accept all kinds of entertainment and activities, like boat trips, cooking courses, guided tours - I thought it would explode into commercialising whole ranges of human services, since these never had a good targeted platform before, these enterpreneurs promoted themselves mostly with social media pages and classical ads.

But the move did probably not work out - and as I see after the pandemic Airbnb tries to rather move into expensive/special/"crazy" accomodations instead. Do you have ideas what was the problem with this seemingly valid direction?

It’s a subversive platform. It quickly profiles someone and begins serving them mind-altering content. Content which will change someone’s perception, behaviour and world-view. Part of its power is our new belief in the transcendental nature of ‘the algorithm’. People believe they ‘should’ be viewing the content that TikTok serves to them, so the messages in the content are more potent.

When you put this limbic weapon in the hands of a communist regime, incredibly bad things will happen. Facebook at least had some backlash over manipulating their users mood using their platform. It’s not hard to imagine China attempting some fairly subversive things with TikTok. I would never sign up for it.
> That is indeed how much Uber cost when it first came out.

I remember when Uber first came to my city and it was free for passengers.
No, serious executives cannot do that. If an executive acknowledges a business practice violates law, the action item is not 'do it anyway'. There is no corporate level civil disobedience. This is not correct and not reflective of the way this actually goes in real life corporate America.
