Tailings ponds exist for all mining. This is why groundwater leakage is a major issue in all mining operations. Regardless if you mine for steel, copper, coal, rare earth minerals, or uranium, operations like those will also bring to surface heavy metals, sulfides and radioactive contents.

Northern Sweden is known for its iron ore mines, and people who live anywhere near those areas are recommended to install radon detectors. The iron from those mines is then used in multiple countries, leaving behind the contaminated water and air in Sweden.

The way we treat the destruction of species and habitat at our hands as a necessary side effect of progress is alarming.

Removing a species from the planet is like removing a screw from an airplane in flight - you can probably remove a lot of screws before there's a problem, but you will eventually crash catastrophically if you keep at it.

My recent experience with Airbnb rebooking another room is... do not rely on this. You should not rely on Airbnb for anything you must depend on. They're not a hotel and their support doesn't have control over the "supply" to help you in a pinch. (I wasted an insane amount of time on the phone last month helping a colleague rebook a room after the host cancelled mid-trip.)
To each their own. Frankly, I found a lot of solace in the dullness. Life is primarily comprised of dull moments and reading Proust helped me find more appreciation of the banality of life.

If I had just written the program directly, I could have TYPED, and I could have used the backspace and delete keys to erase instead of an ACTUAL eraser, and I could have used cut and paste instead of ACTUAL scissors and paste.

Plus, I could have used the compile, test, debug cycle to verify that what I was writing actually worked.

My specs were the same complexity as the code: Let's pretend, for example, there were no "sort" statement in the computer language. My spec couldn't just say, "sort the names in alphabetical order". My spec had to have the exact logic of a sort algorithm, but drawn as a flowchart (actually, not a flowchart but an AA proprietary format)

I didn't have to do "sort", but I did have to code algorithms that were more complex than that.

BTW, to make it more fun, there were rules about who was allowed to talk to whom. I was not allowed to talk to the programmer who had to retype my spec into actual code. I didn't even know who he/she was. And the programmer wasn't allowed to talk to me directly, but had to go up a chain.
Paracetamol and Ibuprofen is a magic mix - and it's safe to throw Codeine on top as well.

From personal experience I've never been wowed by Paracetamol in tablet form, however after experiencing it in liquid form via IV - wow; it's a surprisingly capable analgesic.

I'd also point out that whilst Ibuprofen and other NAISDs can be great for short term inflammation, it can lead to worst long-term healing/outcomes. Depending on how you've damaged yourself (I shattered both my heels) it might actually be more beneficial long term _not_ to use it.
A friend loaned me their complete set of Discworld books at about the time "Mort" came out; they didn't re-print the USA Roc editions of the earlier titles until "Guards, Guards" got popular and there was a while there where they were quite valuable and hard to find.

Ask HN: Are Vercel/Netlify/Cloudflare pushing SSR/ESR to increase their revenue?
I've been thinking about this for quite some time. Some backstory.

When I first got introduced to web development around 2011 at university, the majority of the course was utilizing Apache Netbeans. What a nightmare that was.

What got me excited was the 30 minutes of our last lecture where the teacher talked about client-side rendering using jQuery + external APIs. According to him, it was a fly that will be forgotten in a year or two. For me it was what got me hooked on web development.

I then worked at multiple companies doing server-side rendering to get around the problem slow clients. That made a lot of sense back in the day.

The move towards static-site generation(SSG) also made a lot of sense and felt like a fresh breath of air after years of slow and uncached wordpress sites taking over the web.

But now, 10 years later, I feel like I am seeing the whole industry loop around with the recent move on rendering everything on the edge aka. Edge-Side Rendering(ESR).

I get it, faster websites, more money. It is also more inclusive for users with slower devices. But I'd argue that the decentralization of computation by devices own by users is better than moving towards centralization of this computation.

So for me, the elephant in the room is how this new revenue stream is being created by cloud providers and how they push us toward SSG and ESR.
Promoting it as a holly grail when SSG and ISG would suffice for the majority of use cases and eventually save everybody a lot of money.

What am I missing?

Fun fact, if you're having a lot of headaches and take pain killers daily you can start suffering rebound headaches.

Basically a highly painful headache caused by the pain killers. This creates a nasty feedback loop.

If your suffering head pain try and rotate pain killers and have days of no pain killers.

Of course you should be trying to find out the reasons for the pain so you can stop taking them.
What's woke-like extremism in this case?
I agree with you completely except on one part. Metrics is not the only solution to this. The other option, more difficult but more effective if you can pull it off, is for individual contributors to not make these mistakes in the first place.

Having executives fix the bad decisions by individual contributors is sort of treating the symptoms rather than the underlying cause. It adds extra work because now everyone has to produce numbers about their work in addition to work -- and some of the numbers might not be better than tea leaves, statistically speaking.

So how do you get ICs to make the correct decision? Training, ownership, free flow of information about strategy and market, involving everyone in setting the direction, etc. The opposite of the instinct of an executive going by the numbers.

----

To stave off an eventual misunderstanding: I'm not saying you shouldn't measure what you do, operationalise your definitions, define in advance when you reject your hypotheses etc. I'm just saying that producing these numbers for yourself and your peers is far more effective than doing it for someone removed from the day-to-day business because they don't have the same context and nuance.
Ask HN: What are some of the biggest problems in continuous machine learning?
I've been looking into the field of continuous learning recently, and was interested in the various ways people are solving problems. For example, continually fine tuning an NLP model on fresh data to adapt to new knowledge, and avoid data drift.

Those of you who incorporate continuous learning into your ml workflows, what are some common problems you have?
I remember reading about the air force buying a lot of ps3's back in the 2000s, and that just cemented to me that information is power and any government will do all they can to own as much of it as possible. IBM just published some quantum breakthrough[1] and my first thought was that it will be used by the military or intelligence agencies. Hopefully by the time this technology trickles down to more corrupt agencies the people will have caught up.

You might as well be talking about magic when it comes to quantum computing and me, I have no idea if that new openssh standard really does protect against a quantum computer trying to break it.

I'll add: the count-min sketch[0]. Used for streaming top-k, where the set of keys may be too large to fit in memory. It's essentially a composite of a fixed size (k) heap and a counting bloom filter.

Instead of using a bit field for membership, use an integer field for tracking count.

When querying: take the min of each value in the field location given by the hash functions.

When updating: increment each field location given by the hash functions, take the min of new values. if the min is greater than the least value in the heap, push the updated key into the heap

> As for the people not in South Carolina, they should work to pass an amendment or secede from the union, those are the only legal options if you believe in how the federal government is supposed to work

It's not legal to secede from the US, we fought an entire war because it was not a right of the states. Most of what you say ignores the reality of our political system, voter suppression, who draw districts, filibuster, etc. Which makes it more difficult than "just vote". Which is why the Republicans went the route of Supreme Court justice appointment, so they could legislate via the court.

It pretty succinctly expresses what makes time special; it's the imaginary dimension (as in numbers)! You can say you're always going c, and you won't be wrong for a given metric, but time is special because it's where the "velocity" gets sunk into when all the spacial dimensions are grouped as one. Obviously none of this is any different from what you said, but since the article is about what makes time special it's not unfair to think about velocity components in time and space differently.

>On social issues, you could be arrested for being gay. You could legally be denied housing loans based on your race. It was considered impossible to rape your spouse. I could continue this paragraph

Yet all of those were given protection based on Constitutional arguments, right? With no change needed to specifically add a new tiny rule to the Constitution for each single change in societal beliefs, right?

>If you believe the world of today isn't materially different from the 70s

People still work, buy houses, live by most of the same desires, needs, goals, interactions. Contract law is still useful. The Bill of Rights is still pretty useful.

In fact, I'd expect the vast majority of concepts in US law from the 1970s are still useful today. I think you overestimate the need to legislate every change in technology more than any country does.

>the point is we're fundamentally different with our understanding of humanity on a social level

I seriously doubt that. Not a single issue you raised was not an issue in the 70s with a significant amount of people working on those issues. And fundamentally changed would mean things considered part of humanity in the 1970s are now gone, which I don't think is true at all. At best we've added some features and beliefs we now think are better. But we still care about people, about life, about dreams, about relationships, about dreams, about love, and death, and right to pursue happiness, and on and on.

If your system of laws is so weak as to been updating at a Constitutional level because someone invented a drone, then that system is fundamentally flawed, because it will break and never be able to be applied to life in any reasonable way. A good system has at a Constitutional level high level concepts that provide guidelines and boundaries that are refined by local, easier to change, and less system-breaking laws. That is the one we have.
Except for unfortunately because of popular conventions the SI unit names are ambiguous with the power-of-two unit names. Maybe your point is that no one should have used "kilo" prefix to describe 1024. And yes that would've been great. But they did and now it's very much standard and expected to describe kilobytes as 1024 bytes. So now we are stuck with the ambiguous terms that the SI standardized on. Those are consistent with the meanings of other Greek prefixes, but if the standard unit can be easily confused with another standard, it's not as useful.
I get migraines (not as frequently as when I was young, but still quite often) and caffeine is key—my pediatrician told my mom to get me a Coke if I was coming on with a migraine, which I was of course thrilled about as a kid.

It'd be very interesting to see the results of some A/B tests where they looked at the effectiveness of a marketing funnel with some of these distracting features on and off.
