I bought a car in April 2020 when the dealerships were reeling from closures and there were no shortages yet. I knew I had a good bargaining position as one of the few people buying, and I shopped around and tried to get the best deal I could.

In the end i drove the car away 20% under the sticker price, but despite coming in with all cash I was asked to finance about 33% of the cost through the manufacturer and keep the note open for 6 months before paying it off. We didn’t go into it, but it was obvious the dealership was getting a healthy commission for that loan, enough that they didn’t mind selling me the vehicle at what I presume is close to their own cost.
Sorry I don't know much about polio and don't fully understand the argument - how does it affect the overall risk-benefit ratio of Polio vaccination?

Any vaccine will have side effects negatively for that matter, how is Polio different in that regard?
Humans are inconsistent at best. It sounds like the right time to pitch my AI startup that detects and manages HN comments in real time. I look forward to getting a sweet investment deal.

I can't find a single article saying anything else. The 20-25 degree maximum temperature drop seems to be everywhere which leads me to think it must be true but I don't understand why. I'm trying to find out what happens if you go oversized on a variable speed system and can't find any information.
It's interesting that we've become so obsessed with the gut microbiome even though stool only captures a tiny fraction of the composition of the gut.

Similarly, the salivary oral microbiome has also been correlated with mental disorders, cognitive health, is modulated by diet, and plays a major role in systemic health. And saliva is objectively easier to collect. Instead of jumping straight into collecting poop, we should be collecting our spit instead!

Just curious, have you ever seen a project that is structured nicely according to this criteria that you can share?
It’s been a thing. My car is 20 years old and requires it. Engines with higher compression require higher octane fuel to reduce pre-detonation and pinging. Using low-octane fuel in one of them can cause game-ending physical damage to the engine.

Many more modern cars can sense lower-octane fuel and adjust for it, at the cost of power and efficiency (i.e., mileage).
To be fair, there are a lot of exceptions to Mendel's laws and he falsified some of his data so it matched his expectations.
I consistently see all of these giant trucks owned by urban portlanders, and all i think is: Wow, what an expensive minivan.

I bought a house recently. People were shocked. How can you afford it?

Easy. I didn't own a car for years. I took the bus an hour each way. I fought off lifestyle creep, and the 80k they spent on fancy cars over the last decade I socked away waiting for the market to be favorable.
I had a kiosk software company for several years. Sold my part to my partners in 2008. We used Windows embedded for the hardware most of the time (until Mac Minis came out) and Flash for the front end.

I built out a Lua based server that lived on each of our units and communicated back to home base for updates using svnlib to grab changes. It was a pretty neat system, lots of hardware integrations and so on. Super fun. Lua was nice because its FFI is so pleasant to use. Flash was absolutely amazing for handling the UI. Our kiosks looked _so_ much better than all of the other hideous Motif-style UIs out there. Hell they looked better than most kiosks still look these days.

If you lived in Australia in the 00s and ever stepped foot in a Westfield or Stockland mall you'd have seen some of our kiosks.
One thing I tell our developers (and POs) is that we can only tolerate 80% solutions so long as they also produce 120% solutions (or give us additional time/scope for them) at approximately the same rate.

I thought we just established that the names in the GNU Name System are not meant to be human readable, and that the human readable names are not "owned" by anyone.

Articles like these are to me indistinguishable from subtle trolling. The person the article leads with just bought a house, a duplex, an 8 unit apartment complex, has a good sized stock portfolio, and has a good job to boot.

How is this person getting “squeezed”? He isn’t. People just get greedy when the stock market goes up and then they overleverage and tell themselves they’re on the cusp of getting rich.

Investor psychology makes people take riskier bets when they see the number in their account go up, despite every investment book explaining why you should do the opposite and derisk during a mania.
I don’t think it’s really been proven that high inflation hurts the poor more than rich - wealthy people hate inflation as it eats into their returns on capital.

> Why do you cover Russia's visible actions with a pretty pretense?

Some of Russia’s individual politicians and news outlets no doubt have genuine nationalistic motivations surrounding Ukraine, but it is not clear to me that these are the predominant motives for spending Russian lives and risking Russian security by engaging their forces in an armed conflict. The rhetoric and actions you cite is probably believed and condoned by an increasingly nonzero percentage of the population, but I’m personally not convinced these are much more than pretexts useful to the state in providing political cover to what is ultimately a sovereign chess move (prevent Ukraine from joining NATO, demotivate it and others from future attempts). Russia benefited massively by their previous USSR-era relationship with the surrounding baltic states, and Putin, a former USSR man, has said [1] that the breakup of the warsaw pact was one of Russia’s greatest geopolitical tragedies. I believe his greatest defensive focus is on re-establishing a buffer zone between it and western powers, and likely it’s longer term goals include acquisition of warm water ports and influence over the oil trade.

This does, of course, not justify any of Russia’s actions on a moral basis. I expect many Russian officials will be tried and convicted of war crimes. It merely provides a basis by which european leaders/armchair presidents (me) can ground Russia’s actions and plot countermoves.

> Russia has said it is fine with Finland joining NATO, greatly expanding NATO on Russia's border.

Not even a year ago Russia implied a military consequence if Finland was to join NATO [2]. A few months after this statement was given Russia invaded Ukraine, though this ironically emboldened Finlanders into being majority in favor of joining NATO.

Now just make this the official policy of the democratic party instead of the unofficial policy, and let people vote on whether they support it.
In 20 years we'll be talking about:

I have a 2012 Prius with high mileage going strong. Bought used in 2013 for $17K when gas prices were over $4/gallon. A year later, gas prices plummeted and hybrids lost their value. Now finally they are in high demand again, along with everything else. It is crazy how I see the same car being advertised at around the same price I paid back in 2013.
The global housing market is broken, and it’s dividing entire countries
My point isn't to build support for either side (it was just an example), nor is it to accuse Russian soldiers of selfishness. It's to say that we can't just assume his (or anyone's) motivation is not selfish, or that there must be a middle ground we will surely find through improvement to our rhetorical approach.
I don't understand why can they use this as an excuse. If they can share the data upon request, why can't they just publish that as well? Is that related to some legal/privacy issue?

It sustained this strike - but more strikes like the one that happened are going to significantly reduce the lifetime of the telescope.

There is no debating that that big strike was outside the model.

> Residents of the Estonian capital of Talinn have been able to ride public transportation for free since 2013. Last year Estonia’s national auditor issued its assessment of that policy: It had induced many additional transit rides, but it failed to reduce car journeys. Dunkirk, France, and Frydek-Mistek, Czech Republic, have adopted free transit as well.

> “There’s no evidence at all that cities introducing fare-free public transport have seen their car traffic reduced,” said Mohamed Mezghani, the secretary general of the International Association of Public Transport, which has published a policy brief on the topic. “Most of the [new] people taking public transport used to walk.”

> The story was similar in Santiago, Chile, where researchers randomly assigned free two-week transit passes to residents. Those receiving the free passes took 12% more trips overall, but they did not drive less.

> If free public transportation failed to attract drivers in relatively transit-rich Europe and Santiago, there’s little reason to think it would fare better (pun intended) in the U.S., where scant transit service acts as a deterrent. An extensive 2012 study by the National Academies of Sciences noted that fare-free experiments undertaken in Denver (1978-9) and Austin (1989-90) failed to reduce driving; most new trips were taken by those lacking access to a car.

> Three MBTA bus routes went fare-free last August, and data showed that ridership on the 28 line rose 38%. (Other Boston bus routes, where fares were still collected, also saw increases, but smaller ones.) A survey of riders indicated that 15% of riders were new — but the fare-free rides replaced more biking and walking trips (8%) than driving (5%).

Limiting or capping usage is the reality in most major cities because we cannot build our way out of the induced demand. Guangzhou is no slouch to public transport construction, in 25 years they have gone from zero to 621km of metro (the third largest system in the world) and yet even they cannot handle the capacity crunch. If there is no hope at Chinese levels of metro investment it’ll be impossible for anyone to actually build enough.
My decision to only live and work in a place that doesn’t require a car is looking better and better.
Different car suspension setups as well as suspension wear & tear have impact on tire wear too.

Tire pressure makes quite a bit of difference too.

> attempting to be neutral is the same as joining the Philistines.

This is a super common attitude across all areas of politics, that somehow being neutral is admirable or positive. That it implies an absence of partisanism, and is therefore preferable.

That's fine when you are talking about, say, which coffee chain you like. But in today's politics, the issues being discussed are fundamental human rights for various groups. Being neutral when there is a massive power disparity empowers those who hold the majority.
Solving “The Dangler” Conundrum with Container Queries and:Has()
Summers are insanely hot. Bureaucracy and inefficiency of getting things done is whole another level compared to northern parts of Europe. You have to know a guy who knows a guy. Greece is 33rd in world corruption index between Saudi Arabia and Malaysia while Germany is 10th. Walkability is not a thing in the cities, especially if they want to take long walks with their baby in stroller.

People are friendly though and nature is beautiful. And some of the food is amazing.
Do they? Modern cars are using 0W-20 or lower weight oils solely for MPG/emissions purposes and pushing service intervals on that oil to 1 year for cost of ownership purposes. Then many people are not in the habit of changing their oil due to such long intervals so make that 2 years. Compounding that modern cars tend to burn a small amount of oil due to low friction rings for MPG purposes. I don't think you get long engine life with that recipe. That's not even counting the type of fancy things they are engineering into their engines like turbos, special valves, selective cylinder ignition (reduce V8 to V6 or V4) All that stuff breaks before 100k. It's a modern miracle a turbo last just 100k miles.

In the aughts and nineties the extra emission equipment (mostly gas tank vapor emissions) would break after 100k miles, but it wouldn't stop the engine from running. Now it's even crazier stuff that definitely will.
I feel strongly that you’re likely to get another 10 years out of it if you keep up with regular maintenance. My non-Prius Toyota is 17 years old. The outside looks like a war zone from being a city car but the interior is in great shape and everything works perfectly. A family member has a Prius approaching 300,000 miles. Good cars.

[edit: Regular maintenance is key! I take mine in to my local mechanic for an oil change and inspection 2-3 times a year. For elderly cars, don’t wait for a noise or a light to go off :) ]
I'd rather have a swappable compute module than some USBC adapters that are pretty much a gimmick IMO. They're both Intel so I won't be buying either, but I like to see that the push towards modular laptops seems to be going in a direction.

Also whos to say someone won't hack this to use non nuc modules? I'm sure the firmware is locked down but who knows. It would likely be more feasible to hack a new module into it over hoping framework makes new motherboards with the specs you want.
I'm not a junior dev and I still get peeved when my time is wasted. I guess I would only not care if I didn't care about what I was working on, but that's a different kind of existential torment haha.

Beyond opportunity cost, you can think of it as deleterious to your performance. If 10% of your work never gets merged because of shifting priorities, compared with someone else who has miraculously dodged these problems, that's pretty unfair.
What do you mean, exactly? Yes, the situation seems to be that kids coming out of lockdown are suddenly exposed to a disproportionately higher number of new virii in a short time than if they had been gradually exposed to them over the previous two years.
The octane rating you see on gas indicates the pressure at which gasoline will combust. Engines tuned to a higher compression to ignite require higher octane level gasoline. Using something other than what the engine is tuned to might put a lot of extra wear or degrade performance of the engine.
I am greek but i wouldn’t recommend Greece given the poster’s requirements for multiple reasons. Greek islands are not busy in the winter, except the big ones (Crete, Rhodes) and also English is not a first language as in Cyprus or Malta. Tax is big, depends on the government snd changes every year. Cyprus is more stable and with way lower tax especially for contractors.

I like to imagine the possibilities if we stopped spending money on military and instead spent it on research and science. [edit - perhaps this is misunderstood as me suggesting money spent on the telecope is wasted; quite the contrary, I'm arguing that we should be spending MORE on efforts like this!]

Granted, there are some breakthroughs that come from military research, being generous that would still amount to a small fraction of what we could be discovering and improving if the goals were different.

And honestly, we should be spending $$$$ on food development research. We're going to need to know how to grow food in new ways soon, as the old ways have reached their limits. Food seems kind of important...
Supply and demand. Supply of new cars is constrained due to chip shortage, this increases the price, leading to inflation.

Hey! I'm the author of this blog post. If you have any questions, let me know!

One of the lessons I omitted (because the post was getting a bit long), is we started off as cross-platform (Slack, Teams, and Discord) but in the end we decided to focus on a single product.

In retrospect, we've struggled to decide if that's a lesson to learn. Should we have started with a single platform? It certainly makes it much faster to build for a single platform. But at the time, we really thought the cross-platform chat-ops would be a distinguishing trait!

Anyways, I hope you enjoy the post!

Looking through it, but isn’t this the channel that critiques other channels for the sake of critique? I mean, I don’t think School of Life or any other channel is perfect, but a YouTuber building strawmen and attacking them for views isn’t really my thing.
Another thing: Be very careful using acronyms. When you use them in code, you better be 110% sure that a newcomer will understand them, or be able to learn them quickly. Instead, try to use the full work and rely on tab completion to save keystrokes.
Buy a used car. Rental car companies like Hertz are making this easy because they have a business of buying up new cars, then selling them off after a year or two for a discount.

That's why I suggest first filing an issue, discuss a design, and only then actually implement the feature. Will save you many hours.
Some vehicles, especially ones with OEM performance tuning, run high compression ratios or forced induction. Higher octane gas allows for more compression within the piston before ignition. I had a 2003 Toyota Matrix that redlined at 9100 rpm and used their fancy Toyota variant of VTEC that would dynamically swap the camshafts on the engines past a certain RPM. Although the engine was naturally aspirated (no turbo), it had the compression ratio of 11.5:1, which is pretty high for an economy vehicle (1.8L)
> Q1 of this year was a down quarter for USV and we expect we will see additional markdowns in Q2. But our markdowns have not been as steep as the decline in the Nasdaq over the last six months. That is because we maintained a conservative bias throughout the last few years and resisted the efforts of some to get us to behave differently.

So they are pretty sure that their portfolio of companies outperformed the diversified collection of 100 established companies in the Nasdaq in the last 6 months.

I am not sure this is the win for conservative valuations they claim it is.
I think people are getting whatever they can. Specially when they don't have an option.

You own the hardware. You don't necessarily own the license to operate it. I agree this is a bullshit difference, but it's a legally material one.
So when comparing Webb and Hubble images, we cannot rule out that the colours have been enhanced in post processing and comparisons taken with a grain of salt?
I'd imagine so, that might be a good strategy for doing it and you could measure the newly setup stuff fairly easily.
This depends upon how much is required to be “rich”. The wealthiest people on Earth tend to use the most debt, and debt likes inflation. You pay off your debt with cheaper dollars. Additionally, it is precisely during periods of recession and/or inflation that we see the disparity between the wealthiest and poorest widen most quickly.
Seriously? Science is a process, not a result, and science is literally revealing the fraud here.
This feels like half of the answer.
