250 to 300 billion euros, which is more than the cost of rebuilding from scratch all the French nuclear power plants, is what Germany has invested from 1996 to 2014 to increase by 22% the fraction of renewable electricity into the gross production of the country (that went from 4% to 27%).

For this price tag our neighbors did not decrease their energy imports, did not accelerate the decrease of their CO2 emissions per capita, that remain 80% higher to those of a French, increased the stress on the European grid.
>2x cheaper is <sensible>.

No, it isn't sensible, and is certainly confusing, and that is why you should commit to never using that phrasing from this day forward. It isn't like there is a hardship you have to overcome when using precise language. There are plenty of alternative ways to state the desired objective that are clear and unambiguous:

- The product is now half-priced!
- The item costs half as much!
- The unit comes with a 50% discount!
I can't find any clear evidence on school uniforms; the reports and data seems to be somewhat mixed. I think it's important to look at the data for these kind of things, as you can make "common sense arguments" that go both ways quite easily.

More importantly, bullying generally affects only a fairly small number of children, and has been around forever; it's not like bullying was invented in the last 15 years. Not that I want to trivialise the effects of bulling in any way, but I'm skeptical it can be the cause of a fairly wide shift in the general population (we're talking about 44% of kids here).
The learning curve is significantly steeper. I am already (2-3 weeks) feeling a more frequent urge to go for a ride, compared to the OW, but they say it takes about 6mo for it to really click and drag you in.

It definitely doesn't feel as cool, though, and doesn't start conversations.
But we do know that plenty of other current human activities, primarily around extracting stuff from deep underground and pumping it into the atmosphere, are going to cause huge issues for even just our kid's generation, with no realistic technology likely to be developed quickly enough to solve it(*). If we hypothetically needed to use up the earth's remaining helium to fix that I'd support doing so. Running out of helium isn't expected to introduce a risk of making the planet largely uninhabitable, as far as I'm aware.

(*) I'm more or less convinced that such a miracle technology is the only hope we have of avoiding catastrophic change. I'm baffled why there's not massively more funding into researching potential geoengineering solutions, given the stakes. Even fossil fuel companies would benefit!
Maybe I am just on the boring side of life and I don't really have that much to do.

My biggest problem earlier was that I thought I should have a todo list to achieve things in life. As it turns out it just does not matter, my connections, my starting point in life was much more defining to what I can achieve today than any form of organization of my self I would implement.

Of course unless I would be totally undisciplined and disorganized, but it turns out that I was disciplined and organized enough to reach good life and adding todo list is not something that would help me.

That's the idea, the microtransactions will be taken care of by the existing ad networks and will end up in the aggregate payment from the network to the site. Sites effectively won't even know that it is happening.
Haha. I was thinking along similar lines as kuboble, but then I'm someone in the process of trying to learn C.

I agree, upon further thought, that at least an error message would be better for the user (e.g. "Maximum timer duration exceeded").

Why are you bringing up something unrelated as a gotcha for something nobody is commenting about?

This is related to Germany energy policy. Trump brought up the danger of depending on Putin’s Russia to the Germans, and they laughed at him.

They aren’t laughing much now.

What you should be asking is: How was Germany so dumb that Trump saw it, but they didn’t?
Yes, they have a battery that lasts a few years. And typically, the battery alone cannot be changed, the whole unit must be replaced.

In my area, all franchised tire shops will refuse to install new tires on your car without also installing brand-new TPMS sensors, regardless of the age of the existing sensor. "Sorry, it's corporate policy."

I upvote most questions I come across and downvote many answers -- most of which are incorrect or no longer correct and didn't include version information. If I could, I'd downvote comments that ask for more details and then, upon receipt, disappear forever. (Why'd ya ask?)

I don't think I'd participate at all if I had to leave comments for each action. Whenever I mention my voting rules I get angry or defensive replies from folks that don't understand.

> There can be conflicting state, for example: what happens if the parent item is checked, but the children are still open? Or the other way around? If all children are checked, shouldn’t that “automatically” resolve the parent? What if the parent has a closer due date than the children? And so on. While decision could be made for any of these corner cases, it might still feel strange in practice.

To me, the convention to go with seems easy.

1) If the parent is explicitly checked, leave the children as they are, and ask the user through tooling if they want to check each unchecked subtask, delete it, or move it up a level.

2) If all of the children are checked, the parent stays unchecked, but tooling should ask the user if the parent is complete, or if another subtask should be added.

3) If the parent has a closer due date than the children, don't do anything unless you feel like warning the user i.e. hold the subtasks to their due dates, and hold the parent task to its due date.

The issue about descriptions I see as a non-issue: dictate that descriptions marry to the task above them. It would be nicer to be freer with mixing descriptions and tasks, but you'd have to introduce more tokens.

One thing in the thread that I don't find necessary is marking partial completion.

I don't have any experience with Sublime, but this seems like a very basic tree.

When reading the subtasks, all you have to hold is the stack of the checkbox states and due dates of higher task levels for tooling to answer any of the above questions. A tool could seek backwards in order to check a parent if the children were checked, the user was warned, and the user said they wanted the parent checked. But if instead you really only wanted to read a line at a time, you could add a dummy item called "[ ] Complete parent task" at the end of the subtask list in order to keep an unchecked parent with checked children consistent.

The problem for me is that a tree is what I have trouble organizing. If it's just a linear list of things, I'm not sure how useful it could be for me other than by setting alarms that I could set directly. There is never a time when one of my tasks isn't to break down another task into simpler steps; all but the simplest tasks I have really have "break this down" that as the default first subtask.

So one workflow datapoint for useful with subtasks, useless without subtasks.
The bigger problem is that there is no reasonable minimum compliance threshold. If the governing were to just allow you an exemption for under 10k of profit it would allow small and micro business to try and fail without all the extra additional compliance issues that larger enterprises might be more capable of dealing with.
ohh... these smug corrupted smirking faces. Now Ukrainians are paying for your gas, you cunts. The Three Seas Initiative was the way to go at that time, energy policy wise.
I see 2 problems with ad-funded services:

1) nobody can compete with free.

2) the service and the advertising are tied together, with the amount of money being earned by said advertising is private.

The second point can be addressed without necessarily banning advertising, but having the advertising separate from the services - you have some kind of ad platform/etc that by itself is neutral and you can browse it (and look/click at ads) to earn money, which you can then choose to spend on anything, including other services. This means services still have to compete on price, even though that price remains "free" to the end-user as they're using the advertising platform to earn money to then spend it on services.

> puts the vendor's customers at risk

They were already at risk and didn't even know before disclosure. If anyone's to blame for anything, it's the corporation. They were told a vulnerability existed. If it got to the point people are releasing things to the public, it's certainly because they neglected to do what needed to be done.
There is spam, you just have to set showdead to "yes" in your settings and look at /newest.

Most of the spam is worthless filler akin to a Youtube video showing how to install an adblocker. Sometimes it's the same quality that you might find in your email's spam folder.

It's nothing of the sort:

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201624

The relevant quote "Products are considered vintage when Apple stopped distributing them for sale more than 5 and less than 7 years ago".

"More than 5 and less than 7" means some time in the sixth year. It couldn't be more clear than it is without them putting a retirement party on the calendar.

Maybe they should?

Edit to add: of course you don't want to know how long the device will be supported, to the day, because this policy gives a minimum of the sixth year after the date of purchase, and if they sell it for longer, they'll repair it for longer as well.

120 years ago we knew that some things can fly, because we saw birds. We just had to figure out how to do the same with humans.

On the other hand, we have never encountered anything in nature that goes faster than the speed of light. That's a pretty good hint that it's impossible to do so.
Khan is definitely not an American puppet, but I don't think the Biden administration has any grip on Pakistan at this time compared to before. In that region, Biden surrendered Afghanistan to the Taliban, but they also effectively surrendered Pakistan to China some time ago. Pakistan is much more aligned with the BRICS, although they will gladly entertain the US for funding/weapons without delivering anything.

That said, if one is suspicious of American technology being weaponized for foreign policy, then Poland will be the place to watch next year. The Biden administration has every clearly told Poland they want a regime change. The EU is also on board.
If I recall, it was around then that they were bought out by... CBS? (Say no more)
Anything over 100 hours gets recalculated modulo 100, so 101 hours becomes 1 hour. But then the page title, which is meant to show the current countdown in the tab display, gets updated to show the full time, but weirdly formatted. So at least two bugs.

Try "timer 101 hours". The page title will (very quickly) show "10:05:9x" where x is the 10s digit of the seconds. While the page itself claims it's a one hour timer (59 minutes and some seconds). So the actual time is in there somewhere, just showing up wrong in both places.

It also doesn't seem to let me enter 30 minutes as a timer, but most other minutes times work. So, yes, it's buggy.

EDIT: It's not actually modulo 100 hours, I should note. The display is showing it that way, but since it has the real time stored internally it still counts down. If it were actually modulo 100 hours then it would zero out a 100 hour (or 200 or 300...) countdown immediately, instead these wrap to 99 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds on the first tick.

EDIT: For grins I'd started a 101 hour timer a bit over an hour ago before stepping away from the computer. Despite the display silliness, it actually will run for 101 hours. After the first hour the displayed time rolls back to 99:59:59 and the page title updates correctly. I also noticed that there's a progress bar below the timer, it correctly shows the progress within the 101 hour timer the whole time.
The thing about Paul is that there are a lot of supposed Paulisms that are actually him quoting some other viewpoint and responding to it; ancient Greek didn't really have good syntax for quoting, so nearly all translations lost that. 1 Corinthians is full of these, including the context surrounding the oft-quoted 1 Corinthians 6:9-10; the whole chapter (really, the whole letter) consists of him calling out the Corinthian church for judging others for ostensible sins despite themselves being sinners by their own standards - a classic invocation of Matthew 7:5.
Hi danielvaughn thanks so much for the comment! We love CockroachDB and Planetscale! With SurrealDB we intended to build a database where you can use the best of the relational database world, the document database world, and the graph database world. You don't have to choose up front how you store your data, but you can use many different concepts to model and analyse your data once stored.

Then with the ability to connect directly form the client application or from web browsers, you don't have to build any API layer or logic layer in front of the database. Your data access permissions and authentication sit right inside the database (only if you want of course), enabling you to build applications quickly, directly against the database.
We should be so lucky to live in a world where most nations had achieved even a third of electricity generation from renewables. We'd be vastly better off than we are now! So I am happy to give credit in those few cases where credit is due.

That’s because it they have left off the word “free” - it’s just an odd shortening of the less ambiguous “buy one get one free”, probably made by someone who is very familiar with seeing “buy one get one free”
Played with it for a bit in DreamStudio so I could control more of the settings. So far everything it generates is "high quality", but the AI seems to lack the creativity and breadth of understanding that DALL-E 2 has. OpenAI's model is better at taking wildly differing concepts and figuring out creative ways to glue them together, even if the end result isn't perfect. Stable Diffusion is very resistant to that, and errs towards the goal of making a high quality image. If it doesn't understand the prompt, it'll pick and choose what parts of the prompt are easiest for it and generate fantastic looking results for those. Which is both good and bad.

For example, I asked it in various ways for a bison dressed as an astronaut. The results varied from just photos of astronauts, to bisons on earth, to bisons on the moon. The bison was always drawn hyper realistically, which is cool, but none of them were dressed as an astronaut. DALLE on the other hand will try all kinds of different ways that a bison might be portrayed as an astronaut. Some realistic, some more imaginative. All of them generally trying to fulfill the prompt. But many results will be crude and imperfect.

I personally find DALLE to be more satisfying to play with right now, because of that creativity. I'm not necessarily looking for the highest quality results. I just want interesting results that follow my prompt. (And no, SD's Scale knob didn't seem to help me). But there's also a place for SD's style if you just want really great looking, but generic stuff.

That said, the current version of SD was explicitly finetuned on an "aesthetically" ranked dataset. So these results aren't really surprising. I'm sure the next generations of SD will start knocking DALLE out of the park in both metrics. And, of course, massive massive props to Stability.ai for releasing this incredible work as open source. Imagine all the tinkering and evolving people are going to do on top of this work. It's going to be incredible.

> I was re-watching the first season of The X-Files and every episode I was trying to pick out where in the Vancouver the scene was shot. I was laughing when I immediately noticed they were in White Rock, BC, which was supposed to be a small town in Connecticut.

In the episode "E.B.E.", Mulder & Scully go to Mattawa, Washington. As someone who grew up near Mattawa, I can assure you it looks nothing at all like British Columbia! Pull up the episode, then check out Google Street View near Mattawa for a good time.

Given the amount of factors that go into ad targeting it's pretty much impossible to prove without a source code audit. It also means it's easy for Google to do it and get away with it as nobody can prove it. Given the business model of Google, I wouldn't be surprised if they did it, especially considering they've already proven their bad faith with various dark patterns and their intentional refusal to comply with the GDPR (for 4 years their "consent" flow wasn't compliant as you couldn't decline as easily as accept).
The US's involvement in Pakistan is much older and historical than the war on drugs/terror. They were flying U2s out of Peshawar in the 1960s. For a while, Chuck Yeager (yes, that Chuck Yeager) was the US military representative directly to the Pakistani military.
> A lot of developers seem to underlook building for mobile, despite how important it is

That's because mobile is inferior from a design perspective - you just have lot less to work with. People like mobile because it's super convenient and for that, they're willing to sacrifice quality. It's the same way that more people eat at McDonald's than at five-star restaurants, but very few chefs want to work at McDonald's.

I didn't even read the article, so there's that. Still not an excuse for being lazy.

Also, I have a background in camera department, post production color grading, etc, so I'm assuming I am the target audience. I also knew what the "netflix look" looked like in my head just from the title. You kind of have to be in the industry to properly know what "look" means. Like when everyone talks about that "Cooke look", you just know what they mean.
Good point. AOL was huge in the late 90s and I used to to connect with a bunch of people in my locality who I never met in irl and a couple people I met up with romantically. But there was no human network - just chat rooms people were either in or out of.

In my experience social networking began with Friendster, where artifacts of your network were key to they experience. But this was preceded by web-based discussion and link sharing sites like kuro5hin and metafilter, where your profile and the viewable history of your comments and interactions with other users represented you to others.
Can photography be good art? Is Marcel Duchamp (found object) art? Can good art be discovered almost serendipitously, or can good art only be created by slowly learning and applying a skill?

I think art is mostly about perception and selection, by the viewer. There are others that think art is more about the crafting process by the artist. How do you tell the difference between an artist and a craftsperson?

One way I categorise artists I have met is engineer-type artists versus discovery-type artists: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31981875

I used to do that too on paper, but at some point I ended up opening a text file in Emacs and do exactly what I would do on paper, just in Emacs. It's only a small chunk of text, so I don't use org-mode or anything like that.

But yeah, not accumulating stuff requires a conscious decision and the will to stick to it. The same goes for paper, though. I have a coworker that at some point had a stack of paper over 20 cm high.
