Still, flying westbound fast makes tons of sense as you can arrive "before" you took off (local time) and thus you get a whole day in front of you.

But eastbound makes a lot less sense, unless you're just trying to save time. Because flying at night eastbound won't make you gain much compared to a regular red eye and flying during the day, you'll land at night...

I think you are right that the big platforms tend to remove RSS as they grow because they would rather have lock-in than providing the ibterfaces that their users want but that is a minor strike against RSS.

I think the biggest problem is just that users don't really know about it. The easy-to-discover auto-discovery buttons have been removed from browsers so most users don't even know. Based on my experience a lot of people are very happy with RSS ones you set them up with a feed reader and an extension that adds the RSS discovery back to the browser.

So I guess the biggest problem isn't the discovery of RSS feeds but the disicery of RSS itself.
Due to noise constraints supersonic flight is banned over land right now. If they lower noise pollution maybe laws will be changed.

Ok I'm assuming the parent was a typo (???). And the original is "all hat, no cattle" I guess, but I feel like I've heard the saying "all hat, no cat", is that a thing? Because there was a cat in a hat, and it rhymes, so it basically still works as a saying.

Not disagreeing with the overall thesis, but spreads between Russian and non-Russian commodities have already started narrowing(there is also now a big question of what qualifies as Russian commodities, as for oil you could realistically blend it and sell it as something else). The difference is that the arbitragers are not going to be Trafigura and Glencore but something Chinese/Turkish/Indian.

Global economy doesn't work without Russian commodities flowing in some form or another to the West. As soon as that has to be true, the question is what sort of arbitrage spread is available/how crowded the trade is as European governments need to maintain some level of credibility/severity on dealing with Russia. Urals Brent spread is still being shown as -35 but I've already heard anecdotal evidence of people settling for less so not sure if that is accurate.

I believe supersonic flight is currently banned over the USA (and most countries?).

A previous entrtant in this area seemed to suggest that efficiency dropped near mach 1, but then rose again to 95% at speeds around 1.4 so being able to stay at that speed may make it cheaper to run and maximize their USP of speed.
I think the post is arguing for a superset of the definition of exercise which includes the gym as opposed to a set definition of exercise defined by the gym exclusive of other activities. A superset definition would also include lifting my child for piggyback rides, a brisk walk with a friend, or practicing a flash mob.
This seems like the perfect way to address ads. If sites must be accessible and sites must clearly separate ads from non-ads then any attempt to obfuscate this will be futile if a working screen reader is the bar.

They both disappeared before (three times each), only to come back each time with a lot of fan fare. As long as the electric versions look like the originals (quite unlike the Mach-E) they'll do fine when they resurface.

Vehicles are interesting in that for the people that enjoy them there's a tendency towards brand loyalty in ways that don't exist for other products. This is especially true with the older generations. There are/have been web series, magazines, books, TV shows dedicated to Mopar, Ford, and GM. I can think of 5 "Ford guys" in my life without even trying. While that brand loyalty has waned a lot over the past couple of decades it still exists, and Dodge will most likely bring back a version of these to satisfy that base.
> The amazing part, is that, it somehow works most of the time.

Of course. The Western world doesn't operate so well because there's no or even less corruption. It's rather because there's a lot more money floating around enabling some to pocket a lot of it and still have plenty left over for things to work well.
Flow batteries are electrochemical cells, same as regular batteries or fuel cells.

Fuel cells run using fuel and atmospheric oxygen (though it can come from a tank in spacecraft).

Normal batteries have all the electrolytes self-contained.

Flow batteries use liquid electrolytes that pass through the battery. The big advantage of the flow battery is that you can refill the electrolyte tanks and go on your way.
That's strange to me... I loved the Challenger growing up (Vanishing Point!) but always thought the mid 2000s relaunch of these muscle cars was a bit unimpressive and kind of soulless. Maybe that's just a "when did you grow up" thing; maybe they were objectively good cars. But, to me that era has been gone for quite a while.
True.

At a minor scale, all this is fine. People do hire colleagues from previous jobs or from the same Uni, for example

But there's a limit and managers, etc need to be very aware. You can't just have one person hiring all their acquaintances
In short, because dedicated developers making one-off projects that do one thing well (a la the Unix philosophy) can serve it over the internet easier than making standalone cross-platform apps.

RemoveBG, for example, does a FAR better job (in less than a second) than manual lassoing, feathering, etc. Eventually Photoshop added a similar feature, but not until RemoveBG and its ilk were on the web for a few years. I'm not sure if GIMP has similar auto-bg removal, or if it works as well... but even if it did, it's still more of a learning curve than "upload picture and push remove". Even after two decades of Photoshop usage, it's still faster for me to use RemoveBG to create, say, a new Slack emoji... often I can finish before Photoshop even finishes loading.

For resumes, I use Kickresume all the time because they make the process FAR easier than creating a similar thing from scratch in Illustrator, InDesign, or Word. Unlike a dumb template, the resume websites understand the "semantics" of a resume (as in, this section is your employment history, this is your skills, this is your references) and can theme them intelligently, such as displaying skills as numbers, stars, progress bars, or words ("Advanced", "Beginner"), or easily reformatting the dates for you. Then it saves all your resumes, one per employer, in its own easy to use cloud storage. When submitting a bunch of applications (because I'm not fancy enough to have a huge personal network), it takes the time-per-resume from hours down to minutes. It's a huge timesaver.

Email signature: Agreed, HTML sigs are overkill.

Profile picture: Again, like RemoveBG, it's so much easier to use this than having to learn a vector graphics program, manipulating/centering circles, adding strokes and fills, figuring how to properly place text inside a shape (THIS circle, not that one, and flowing this way, not that!), etc.

There's nothing wrong with desktop apps for complex use cases (Office is still way better on the desktop than on the web, for example) but for one-offs, having an easy web app to go to and get the job done in a few seconds is waaaaaaay easier.

Not all of us on HN are ideological purists. No way I'm going to bother with LibreOffice and the JVM and Latex just to make a resume when a website can have it done in 5-10 min in a WYSIWYG and zero learning curve.
The duo on that podcast asserts gems like: we don't actually know if being fat is bad for you. Worth a chuckle.

I can imagine the podcast took off because people are hungry (pun unintentional) for something that validates inaction on improving their bodies. That show treats any sort of ambition about one's body as an eating disorder or unrealistic goal.

So they went from scaled down Concorde configuration :

https://www.airway.com.br/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Boom_Ov...

to a very scaled down Boeing 2707-300 configuration :

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_2707

(that tiny fin tho...). While reducing cruise speed to 1.7 mach.
I see no visible changes to deal with the sonic booms problem.
So operation would be like Concorde I suppose, subsonic (or hi-subsonic) over land and
Supersonic over ocean only. Unless the super-rich manage the regulation to change.

EDIT : ah yes :) "2x FASTER OVER WATER" and "20% FASTER OVER LAND"...

Also : Maybe good to remember that 18 airlines had once placed orders for Concorde, with only the 2 national carriers flying it in service eventually. And that The Boeing 2707 was ordered by 27 airlines before the program being canceled…

Would you (or somebody else) mind comparing/contrasting Data scientist/ML Eng a little more? I'm not sure I understand the difference (and perhaps like many roles/titles in our industry the line is blurry).

Never mind, I mentally flipped the numbers. I read 20/80 and 30/70 but it's actually 20/80 and 70/30. IOW, Data scientist spend a lot more time modeling, and ML eng spend a lot more time engineering. makes a lot of sense. I'll post this comment anyway in case it helps someone else.

You can count on a plugin hybrid C8 or C9 Corvette, and eventually a full electric. It's inevitable.
The image was part of the problem, but any new technology has the barrier of looking weird when first introduced (VR anyone?). The real problem was that they were super expensive, and there were cheaper alternatives that did most of what a Segway did. Electric scooters ultimately co-opted the Segway vision because they were much cheaper, handled 90% of the use case, and had a large market of 20-somethings who had ridden Razor scooters into their teens, so it was a familiar experience.
That's a great point. I was working on the assumption that you had a map and a compass. When you get to dangerous terrain, hopefully you can pin down that you're on one of two or three possible spots - so maybe you can figure out where you are.

Regardless, yeah, wandering off in the woods unprepared is dangerous. and it's easy to get hurt and have worse things happen.
What I am saying is that you can only save so much on the flight time over such a short range when the overall trip has fixed time segments. If we were looking at shaving off seven hours of a 20-21 hour London-Sydney trip then yeah, that's massive even if the flight itself is merely 19 hours of that.
Is it really a proof (in the philosophical sense) if it cannot be verified in polynomial time?

We should focus, that doens't mean we should not.

There is allot research about daily exercise and the enormous health benefits. If we focus on trying to incoperate more movements throughout the the day.

It will be easier to maintain, and if we miss a day we will have the next day.

But if we would do both it will even be better:)

Global warming does not mean everywhere gets hotter.

Global warming means:

Entire planet gets hotter ON AVERAGE,

Some places will get hotter, some will get drier, but some can also get wetter or colder.

In essence, warming will cause weather patterns to change. We will get a period of changing weather and then the system may stabilise with a set of new patterns that are different from current ones.

Whatever happens, it will be very costly to humanity. Our current existence, for example placement of population centers, how we live, how our houses are built, how we produce our food -- it all depends on weather patterns being the way they are now.

In particular, it is possible that Europe will get colder soon. If the Gulfstream collapses, the masses of warm water that bring heat and humidity to north Atlantic will cease. While it is not entirely clear what is going to happen, it is possible we are going to get much more arctic air and possible that European climate gets drier.

Can you expand on the last sentence?

According to https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/country_result.jsp?cou..., cost of living in Japan is a good bit lower than the US, and I would consider 67k as a decent wage when in medium COL cities(pandemic times have changes this a bit obviously, but I was able to live quite comfortably at 55k in a MCOL city in 2017).
As far as has ever been discovered - no, this won't work. You can think of a fan as just a prop enclosed in a housing (jet engine). A prop loses effectiveness at the speed of sound because the air passing the prop gets a high pressure shock wave that effectively makes the prop not prop-shaped, so it can't move air. Picture it as using a hammer on glass instead of pushing on glass with your hand, one works way better than the other for generating thrust. The only way (so far) to have an effective prop is to have the prop tips move slower than the speed of sound. Engine designers worked around this by slowing the air down around the prop. To do this, they moved it inside a tube. They slowed the air down so that the prop (fan) can travel more slowly, and then they heat the air behind the prop to gain excess pressure and thrust. And this is exactly what a mach 1+ jet engine does. The opening at the front of the engine forces air in, and the design of the inlet slows the air down so it is subsonic, along with a corresponding increase in pressure. Some fans (props) which are now effective because they spin at subsonic speeds compress it more, so more air can enter the engine. Then they burn fuel to heat up the air, increasing the pressure. After that they have a few more fans that run in reverse to drive the fans at the front of the engine, and finally exhaust this hotter, bigger, more high pressure air out the back of the engine to produce thrust.

So hopefully you see how your question is an interesting one, and one that has already been sorta done. Turbofans and turboprops are really quite similar, but at mach speeds only the turbofans have the right environment to be able to work efficiently. Your idea would have the prop in a supersonic air stream, which would make it effectively useless.
100% agree that it does it what it does beautifully but it seems to me like there's little to no stewardship around it, and no one actively making sure that it can work with new types of content and provide a viable channel to professional publishers (in effect looking after both sides of the RSS "marketplace".)

Search engines are part of the puzzle for sure, but would love to see more transparent/open source recommender systems integrated with something like RSS to foster discovery without explicit queries.
Also the Navajo/Hopi water rights issue is complicated, to say the least.
I'm not surprised some people found it a difficult decision to be honest.

I mean, discovering a new form of discrimination, which only Indians can perform? And none of your fellow managers have ever heard of this stuff? And you don't know WTF a caste is?

And I doubt the accused is telling HR "yeah, I discriminate on caste, got a problem with that?" - they might instead be saying "some of his behaviour towards me has made me uncomfortable, I don't want to complain formally I just think everyone would be happier if we were on different projects"

I can see why a person might decide that's not a minefield they're equipped to navigate, and pass the issue over to HR.

I think it’s important to point out that selling ads is the way to fund the vision for Meta, which is to connect people. I think it is still very true in different parts of Meta (whatsapp for example) which have remained excellent tools for people. Facebook on the other hand has become less and less useful as a tool by diluting its offer with noise and falling in the engagement trap due to FOMO (“we’re going to lose our users and become less relevant as a platform if we don’t optimize on engagement”). That’s my opinion.
> Casteism, while bad, is not racism.

This relies on a fairly narrow view of what constitutes "race" or "racism".

The caste of a person is fundamentally based on their ancestry. Thus, discriminating based on caste is discriminating based on a person's ancestry. I think a lot of reasonable people would consider that to fall under the definition of "racism".

Yes, it's true that there is a lot of diversity of ethnic groups and e.g. skin color within castes in different regions of India. But just because people discriminate on certain aspects of race (ancestry) and not others (skin color) doesn't make it not racism.
Its really silly. Its not for going long distances and it doesn't solve last mile problem, because well you could just walk 1 mile and wouldn't need to lug 200 pound monstrosity onto the bus. I think the bicycle will never be dethroned as the urban accessory vehicle.
Do you have a source for this? Like other folk who have replied, this is the opposite to my understanding, at least from the perspective of BA (I know nothing about AF). heritageconcorde.com[0] talk about almost 20 straight years of profitability:

> Concorde earned £500 million for British Airways after tax profit, this was between a loss making 1982 and a highly profitable 2000 with just seven aircraft. The first profitable year was 1983 (£14 million) increasing to £54 million in 1987. BA had good and bad years, in 1992 they actually even made a small loss, but then quickly returned to profitability. Immediately before the crash the profit levels were running at nearly £60 million and could have returned had they kept flying. (Even the last 6 months of operation in 2003 netted £50 million profit).

And:

> With unprofitable routes mounting, Concorde was going through rough times in the early 1980s. At this point, British Airways made a move that potentially saved supersonic travel. In 1981, British Airways managing director Sir John King managed to purchase the Concorde fleet from the British Government outright for £16.5 million plus the first year’s profits. Following the purchase, British Airways increased fares, bringing Concorde routes closer to profitability. With the fleet now owned outright, British Airways added additional routes.

A few years ago BA specifically excluded the idea of supersonic travel because you can provide a much more comfortable sleeper service at a similar price while making more profit.
