A friend and I recently broke an IKEA bed. The beam that supports the slats is made of multiple pieces of wood joined with zigzag finger joints, and that beam is attached to the frame with some thin staples. When the staple slip, the beam just bends apart at these joints. It seems like many people's Ikea beds fail this same way. It would be great if IKEA sold repair kits to patch up their design flaws. As it stands, in this country, hardly anyone wants to use fix anything themselves, or used second hand things. The whole frame just becomes rubbish. With humanity in the situation it is in, needing to reduce the impacts of activities on the world, as a matter of survival, it's crazy to me that our economic processes and social norms are unwaveringly directing so much of our material goods, and energy use into landfills.
Looks like it also removes minerals from the water. Not sure if that’s a problem.
Imagine how quickly these traffic calming interventions would be deployed if the community received an overwhelming deluge of reported driving infractions...
My son had strep throat. Stanford billed us just shy of $50K, but not before sending us a letter letting us know they had stopped accepting our insurance (BCBS) a few weeks prior. Obviously, more done than just a throat swab for the 50K, but whole thing was insane.
How does this compare to LunarVim? LunarVim seems to work pretty well, although I regularly get stuck after an update.
Kudos to Shopify! that's exemplary of what I think businesses that leveraged on Open-source should mimic. It's a gesture of gratitude and being appreciative. In addition, it keeps the lights on and motivates the community.

Are you asserting that reCaptcha is not solvable by OCR?

It's a two parter if so. First, the main reCaptcha checks are via JS, that's what determines your likelihood to be a bot and the difficulty of the check. That's a cat and mouse game, but ultimately the client wins.

Second is the images like road signs, red lights, etc. can be solved via OCR, and there are services that do so. But reCaptcha keeps a decent amount of the opportunistic actors out, so it's good enough for the industry.

But I will give you that currently the human captcha services have a better solve rate, albeit they are more expensive, but it's been getting closer and closer and it's more economical to use an OCR service.
If it discharges continually, it will discharge for 80 hours. 8000kWh / 100kW, capacity divided by discharge rate

This is a different number than the amount of energy lost when it is not discharging. However I would suspect that this particular unit is not designed to store heat for six months.

However there are plenty of underground systems designed for seasonal storage, and the storage capacity is relatively cheap. The problem is getting enough neighbors together to meet the minimum scale.
Referencing the text from documentation:
“ StoneDB is optimized for OLAP applications. StoneDB that runs on a common server can process complex queries on tens of billions of data records, while ensuring high performance. Compared to databases that use MySQL Community Edition, StoneDB is at least 10 times faster in processing queries.

StoneDB uses the knowledge grid technology and a column-based storage engine.”

That doesn’t seem like a HTAP database but an analytical database. Transaction processing has completely different requirements which cannot be fulfilled by a columnar storage engine.

I feel it could be driven by the real balance of force only, and there's not much countries could compare their space developments to Russian, the US and China ones. (The EU could not be considered as single entity.)
To be fair, you can still use Reason code in a ReScript project. However, the community has diverged.

Yet that tells me exactly nothing about what I asked.
A friend of mine noticed that the cameras at the bart stations were extremely hi-res a few years ago. He thought they could probably capture fingerprints with them.

I wonder what kinds of drive-by biometrics are really collected, especially when protecting children.
You're being absurdly pedantic
For reference, the legal grounding of this is EMTALA: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergency_Medical_Treatment_...

This is a late stage cause. There are also many early stage causes.
Ask HN: Any recommended resources on building B2B partnerships?
On one hand, this may help reduce congestion in the city during peak tourism season. On the other hand, paying to visit an entire city (and literally having to book a visit ahead of time) seems incredibly odd; I certainly am not a fan of the idea.

If raising money via tourism is the goal, a more widespread tourism tax on food and services would likely both raise funds and partially reduce tourism overload, without the burden of requiring visitors to go through the arcane process of booking a visit.
In an earlier comment you said: "PDFs are a clusterfuck of glyphs floating in space". On that point you are spot on. A textual PDF is in essence simply a series of instructions to position glyphs in space (where "space" is the 2D "sheet of virtual paper" that the gylphs render onto).

But you are incorrect in asserting that PDF readers do OCR. Most do not, and even Acrobat did not have OCR capability built in for a good long time in its early history.

However, because the PDF file is simply instructions to position glyphs, then if the PDF reader maintains a map table of "where in space" (the 2D sheet) it placed each glyph, select and copy can be performed by simply using the coordinates in space of the selection box to look up which glyphs were positioned in that space. Then using either the reverse glyph map table (optional, but recommended to be included) or if that is missing simply outputting the code point values that chose those glyphs to position, you get the "text back out", without doing any OCR.
That is an interesting solution attempt to their problems. I hope they succeed, including in fixing the pollution to the lagoon. When pandemic started a lot of people noticed animals not seen in years shown up on the lagoon again as soon the big cruise ships were gone.
I wonder whether Amazon could be convinced to free the specs required to hack these devices. That would spare them from the eWaste bin. Perhaps craft an open letter and get other owners to sign it? I’m sure HN would help spread the word….

The real lesson here is never to buy cloud enabled hardware. The vendor will always pull the plug eventually.
I can only speak from personal experience (and second hand I guess).

There is close to no 996 really. Most Indian tech startups are trying to emulate the FAANG style of work, both good and bad. So that means officially there is an 8 hour a day expectation, but in practice, there is a lot of cultural pressure to work more, stay at office longer, work on Saturdays etc. But even with that, I don't think I would compare that to 996.

My first job was a fairly early stage startup, and all of us were really young and rearing to go. So there was a group of us that did a 995 for about a year, but it was just a small group, and a lot of it was boardgames after 7pm.

My second one was a later stage startup. They were far more "professional". Nobody worked extra hours because no one cared enough to. So that got a little boring after a while.

Larger companies tend to have more sane working hours. But cultural pressures vary by the company.

My view on Zerodha itself, through the onsite visit I had, was that the hours would be fairly sane, maybe a few saturdays here and there. But there was also a huge social aspect that they highlighted, which was after-hours activities in the office premises, which comes with a certain amount of pressure to attend.
I really want to expose Stanford's ridiculous billing and shame them to no end, but I don't have enough Twitter followers.

I know healthcare billing in the US is f-ed up but Stanford is particularly bad.
Well this happened to me. You would have inputted date in the month field. The format is MMDDYYYY.

There is no warning shows for the validation
I may not be representative, but the vast majority of my Google searches are troubleshooting.

If I need to know how an API works, I go straight to the docs.

Put another way, troubleshooting is a several times per week task for me, and doing something net new is a once a month task which may not result in a search query.

You’re going to have a hard time staying on my radar focusing on the less frequent case.

Possibly the traffic patterns are different for more junior devs, but my hazy recollection of my early career is spending most of my time troubleshooting.

The goal is probably discourage short term visitors. In the many, MAAAAANY past HN topics about this, complaints about them were constant.

Basically Cruise Ships barge in (sometimes literally, hitting other boats or even buildings), then people climb out, make a mess, annoy everyone (including the tourists that are on hotels), then leave again, since they are sleeping on the ship anyway.

Lots of stories here on HN of how the day tourists often don't even spend any money, they probably paid to eat on the cruise ship, so they just climb out, take photos, roam around, pollute, then go eat and sleep back on the ship and don't buy anything.
This is one reason why Minnesota's large iron ore deposits were concentrated locally (if necessary, some of the Mesabi Range ore is already 65% iron) and shipped to Pittsburgh (near coal mines) for steel making, instead of shipping the coal to Duluth.

I grew up somewhat near railroad tracks in Minnesota, and it was surprisingly late that I realized most train tracks aren't littered with taconite pellets that fall off during transport.
"Accountability" here is the public's right to know some facts, like if corporation X dumped toxic waste on public land or if individual Y funded a spoiler candidate in a major political race.

Creating a new form of privacy means creating a new arena in which to conceal malfeasance, and some will inevitably take advantage of that. Privacy can become a means of entrenching power as easily as it can become a means of distributing power. Wealthy people and organizations in the US sue journalists for invasion of privacy to prevent embarrassing information from being published. In the US, some parties have been lobbying and suing for decades to be able to spend unlimited sums with no public disclosure on political and influence campaigns.
Exactly right.

The old Python stack trace, circa 2015, was the best in the world.

The new ones are even better.

The gap between Python and Rust, and the JVM languages/C/C++, is increasingly widening.

Stack trace is one of the areas Python and Rust are making the case for why they're the languages of the future.

Intribe.co publishes some great content on this, and has a platform to facilitate these kinds of partnerships. We're using them, just getting started.
You're missing it. Without a communications link, satellites and space vehicles cease to exist. The only value they provide is via wireless signal links back to us. All space problems are communications security problems of confidentiality, integrity, and most importantly, availability. Denial and disruption of space communications is the threat to all vehicles. Interception reaps any benfit they provide back without the investment in sending them out there. The only sovereignty we have in an age of space economics and risk comes from cryptography.

What, did you think our plan was to spend all this money just to figure out a way to bash them together? Like, rocks?

At which point? The hospital would stop providing services shortly after it was informed that it would not be able to bill for them.

Also, I'm pretty sure you can write a contract that doesn't have an upfront price.
Your paradigm is boxing you in. Nobody really cares about Monsantos losing custody of something smaller than a pea. Although as a nation of laws we should support the law, even if the one being harmed is personally distasteful. The crisis being demonstrated with that example isn't a mega-corp losing patent royalties, but it is showing the outrageous extremes the Chinese will ascend to in their pursuit of power.

The sheer scale of effort needed to bring a man from Beijing to steal planted seeds in the Midwest is gargantuan and specific, and it's a part of a massively coordinated effort. It's hard to comprehend the scale. The amount of effort the US is exerting to save Ukraine is probably smaller than the effort expended by Beijing to steal American secrets.
They quoted $50,000 to $90,000 for me. That would be quite some years' bills.

Near-surface geothermal seems a better investment, if you have room for it.
A weather satellite provides economically important information. That's a resource. We have those today and meteorology has been critical to naval operations for essentially all of human history.

We don't need science fiction. We already exist in a world where effective anti-satellite weaponry threatens economic and military power.
I pay fifteen euro per year to have unlimited shit delivered and picked up at my house 7 days and nights a week.
How a delivery service is supposed to make a profit on that is beyond me, it's sweatshop level of insanity, but it is my capitalist duty not to ask questions and just consume people and planet be damned.
1.It's good that you noticed the limitations and if your code doesn't collide with the limitations, then you can switch seamlessly from MySQL to StoneDB.
2.There are always some limiations for a universary DBMS product, like the limitations of MySQL heatwave at https://dev.mysql.com/doc/heatwave/en/heatwave-limitations.h...
3.StoneDB is a new emerging HTAP database.It's natural with some limitations.And these limitations will become fewer and fewer in the nearby future.
All of this makes me appreciate Fish shell more and more.

As a Spacemacs user, the idea is a distribution that harmonizes a package collection into "layers" for Good Justice.

Using the space bar to drive a text interface is a win over the stock emacs key chords, which wear out my left arm/wrist.

Vi's modal editing, once understood, is a general win, too.

Spacemacs blew my mind by setting up a Language Server Protocol (LSP) environment for python with almost zero effort. Not sure if SpaceVim is quite as broad in its feature set.

NIO Power Day 2022: 500 kW fast chargers coming to China and the EU this year
From my work, I've found it's really simple and straightforward to apply.

1. Choose a parameter for your compiler, xxx.

2. Have your ML model "choose compiler config parameter yyy." After the ML model "chooses" the config parameters, work backwards.

3. Determine why yyy is a better config parameter than xxx.

It might not be!

This system works, brilliantly. Cyborg intelligence, a combination of the human being and the ML model, is the future of society.

The key is the ML "suggests." ML must keep "suggesting."

Never have ML choose a parameter autonomously.

That's exactly how you get self driving cars running over children.
Seems like cruise ships would be a good target for additional taxes.
That is nuts. Was he admitted to the hospital or something?
I think that, the author is focus on the strategy, but not tactic. He mention more about the important of understanding your own value system and which position the salary is in this system. How to increase your value in current company instead of finding others.
I like the idea, it’s a decent approach to stop low-effort scraping of your info.
Wait a minute. You decided not to invest early, despite expecting it to be massively profitable because you were worried about the morality of allowing less competent people to try the same thing in future? Are you sure that's really the truth and you weren't just too hesitant and now you regret missing out so you've gone all salty?
Thanks, this is great information. But I wish I didn't have to give them my credit card info.
> I just don't want the world to be a place where we all have to be armed and launder our money after every transaction.

Interesting to consider that many gun owners likely don't want the world to be a place in which they feel the need to carry a firearm.
Same issue for me. Tried mm dd yyyy - still didn’t work.

Edit: I was trying to add 2022 as the year, which didn’t work. Changing that made it work.
I was happy to see that as well!
It may be more complex than this. If long-term were taxed as short-term there would be no incentive for long-term holding. Thus, increasing short term trading which would have some effect on the market. Likely that of increasing volatility.

The idea of reducing taxes on long-term held assets makes sense. Also, this would affect everyone. Even retirees planning on selling their home when downsizing to retire.
That shit is so expensive. I think I paid nearly $800 a month for a good short term policy during my gap.
Beware, it uses Month/Day/Year which is some strange format hopefully nobody else uses.
> Yet another set of independent physical infrastructure would be even less efficient.

I think this misses just how basic much of the care performed in an ER (which is oriented towards critical care for major problems) is. Duplicate infrastructure is OK when the use-cases are totally different. We need better urgent care clinics.
I've found Helix Editor to be a good successor [0], although it's still in development. Vim-like modal editing with fast performance due to being written in Rust rather than Electron.

Does a centralised agency guarantee that this data is shared correctly?
It's worth noting that "law" amongst groups is not incompatible with anarchy. See polycentric law [0] where competing voluntary systems of cooperation and mutual contracts allow one protection of law. Difference being there is no monopoly on governance or violence by the state, but rather it relies on individualized consensus/consent of the governed.

Of course you can choose to reject all pooled systems of cooperation under anarchy, and be an "island" of your own, and that is indeed the most extreme for of anarchism. The issue being no man is an island, so if you're attacked by someone else for aborting you may not have anyone to have your back. Ultimately you need violence to defend against outside attacks, so in practice most will form some sort of alliance of mutual protection and arbitration for violation of certain "law" (the most basic often agreed upon law in anarchist thought is the "non-aggression principle" which itself is subject to interpretation.)

Interestingly, quite a few "anarchists" have been happy to tell me they'd happily execute a threat to "act appropriately" if they learned someone else aborted, as they see it as a violation of consent and non-agression against the fetus -- so even the "autonomy" to abort is pretty controversial in anarchist circles.

When I posted this, I was mostly interested in hearing what other people tried that had worked. I got some of that - and then a LOT of pop psychology and pop gynecology. I didn't want discouragement, because every single piece of discouragement and feedback I've heard in this channel, I've already heard a hundred times before - and my entire life.

Given that most of the guys I dated asked me out again, I guess being honest and direct isn't a bad thing. Plus, wanting to have children is something I post in my profile and not announce randomly to guys who I just met who don't want to have kids.

Anyway, thanks for the feedback.

p.s. Your post doesn't sound much like something a feminist would write.
Oh man. Unwanted memories. I used to work at Future Shop (basically Best Buy) [don't judge I was young:]. Every summer people would buy a camcorder, go on vacation, then return a sandy "unused" camera.

Every time people rant (rightfully!) about corporations are bad, I think of any experience I had in retail and realize sure but people are assholes too :-D

Did you even read what you linked to? This is atrocious decoding performance compared to arbitrarily wide aarch64

“

As with previous microarchitectures, the pre-decoder has a throughput of 6 macro-ops per cycle or until all 16 bytes are consumed, whichever happens first. Note that the predecoder will not load a new 16-byte block until the previous block has been fully exhausted. For example, suppose a new chunk was loaded, resulting in 7 instructions. In the first cycle, 6 instructions will be processed and a whole second cycle will be wasted for that last instruction. This will produce the much lower throughput of 3.5 instructions per cycle which is considerably less than optimal. Likewise, if the 16-byte block resulted in just 4 instructions with 1 byte of the 5th instruction received, the first 4 instructions will be processed in the first cycle and a second cycle will be required for the last instruction. This will produce an average throughput of 2.5 instructions per cycle.

That population increase statistic was a little shocking (+2.7B in our lifetimes). I suppose I knew it already, but it hadn’t clicked how crazy that is.
Unless it has a lot of flue scrubbing, it's likely to be far, far worse than 200,000 reasonably modern cars in terms of things like fine particulate matter emissions, NOx and SOx emissions, etc. which are the real bad ones for health issues.
