It's going to be somewhat tricky because of a few mediocre decisions I made early on in the development process, but if you were up for helping out I'd love to get a bring-your-own-style experience working in Headway. Long-term, I want to add the ability to easily brand Headway and customize it for your own needs without forking it.
This title is clickbait. No on in the article is seriously proposing that lead pipes are better than plastic.

BUT... we should not let Scientific American off the hook here for publishing straight up pseudoscience again. I do not get why the onus of this article is on PEX needing to prove it's own safety against any possible claim, and yet the safety of copper is kind of hand-waved away (based on interviews from people running anti-plastic studies).

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. And I'm going to side with the NSF and ANSI on this one.

> As Yvette Jordan of the Newark Education Workers Caucus, an organization that signed the document, puts it, “When you have so many people—so many organizations, especially—when they agree..., shouldn’t you take notice and say, ‘Okay, we should probably reexamine this ... and use copper and not plastic’?”

This closing quote is coming from someone who has no subject matter expertise.

The stakes here are that copper, an increasingly limited substance, is a luxury item in plumbing, but a necessity for energy. A return to all copper plumbing would be an inconvenience in housing affordability and a disaster for green tech.
I am just getting more and more convinced that any personal todo list is useless.

Most useless part is priorities on personal list. If something like utility invoice is to be paid - just do it.

If it is something like "read Anna Karenina" it is not getting any priority ever it is just something I would like to do in my life.

So stuff that really needs to be done I will deal with without any todo list I will just remember it or deal with it right away.

Stuff that does not need to be done will not get done - and that is perfectly fine.

Different thing is if it is company "todo" list and I need to keep customer requests, well JIRA does the job.

In the end don't listen to me because there are many much more successful people than me, I am simply happy with what I achieved so far, maybe I would achieve more with todo lists but somehow I fail to see how these would help me in living my life.

Its interesting that the designers write css/jsx as part of the design process.

I'm really surprised they don't charge a very high price with a generous free tier, and then have an army of salespeople who will offer you whatever discount is necessary to make your business model work.

If you want to use GPT-3 to build an AI-lawyer, it'll be very expensive... but to build a tool for customer support for walmart will be cheap, etc.
I don't recommend using dynamic filters because they completely override any matching static filters. Makes the point of filter lists useless, if uBo had a way to set dynamic filters to a lower priority than static they might actually be useful. At the moment the only way I found to replicate uMatrix was to use static filters to block by default on a per domain basis and whitelist domains per request type. It is a lot more work so I only do so for sites with user generated content (e.g. hn or reddit) that have links to who knows where that you might want to prevent from loading.

Easily recoverable. The tube drains into a collection tank filled with control rods, so any reactions are halted. You can just reheat the salt and pump it back into the reactor. Reportedly, one of the first test reactors in the 50's was shut off every Friday and restarted on Monday. A full power loss, what would be catastrophic for any other reactor, was tested weekly for a year without issue.

That alcohol reduces blood glucose is correct. I'm diabetic and wear a CGM and it's fascinating that I can drink a sugary beverage that would typically spike my blood sugar very hard, but if it has alcohol in it my level stays roughly the same or even drops. I have to be very careful about alcohol because too much too fast will drop me dangerously low.

(From my amateur understanding, the alcohol gets prioritized by your liver which stops dumping glucose.)

Lol I picked this out as well.

Classic "well city folk just don't get it. Here in the country..." People from the country have this bizarre narcissistic need to prove the superiority of the town vs the city, and nothing you tell them about the city can be positive. This for example! City people hate football?? News to me! Better tell the Bears and the Giants to pack it in, the liberal city slickers aren't interested.

And I spent the first 20 years of my life in a town of less than 2k people, 5 hours away from the nearest large city, so I say this from experience.
I worked at a place where they conference room TV's were showing ads for games, netflix. Everybody else looked at it as normal but my TV at home doesn't show ads, so it seemed ridiculously unprofessional to me. Just like when Windows shows ads in the start menu, etc. I don't see how people get used to it.
It's not undergoing collapse but it is going to be no longer comparable to the likes of France and to a lesser degree, Germany from now on.

The UK is now comparable to Italy and Spain - regional historic class-based wealth group at the top screws over massive part of the economy to maintain/grow it's much smaller percentage.

After a lost decade already, the Conservative Party are on the verge of annihilation - I know people who work for investment banks and earn serious money and they will not vote Conservative until there's a completely new generation of middle-class Conservative MP's in charge. They see the bucaneer spirit of the old Conservatives as dead in the water replaced by corruption that wouldn't be out of place in places they used to sneer at (Argentina and Brazil being the most commonly cited examples).

Worth pointing out the summary (2nd link) by the people is arguably pretty bad. They are basing being better off on reactionary feelings and money left in the bank. That makes no sense at all for people with little wealth. It seems like they purposefully picked things to make the study a failure.

Many of the children comments explain this well.

No, it does not "exist". It's either builtin and then it exists, or it doesn't. What you linked is a way for me to build it myself. And I found this AND this solution is even linked in the years old Google ticket. And guess what, they didn't build it. On AWS no problem. As I said: years behind.

Sure, I can setup my own cron job (or here cloud run function / github action). But that's not what I expect from a leading cloud vendor. This is not a niche feature!

Please don't defend it, Google doesn't deserve it. Credits to whoever build the 3rd party solution, but Google really failed here.

> Depending on how you design the client, it can also "mandate manual usage" — i.e. ensure that the developer is interactively running the process for the process to proceed

Just no.

Let's face it: Google is just too incompetent to do it. Not the developers there, but the company as a whole in the way it is organized. Even IF it were as you said and it would be a philosophy, they could say that close the ticket, but it's still open.

I can list you dozens of similar things with GCP and related Google services.
I'm pretty sure there was a full scale in there!
Europeans don't go around naked all day. It being acceptable to see a person in the nude in certain scenarios is not the same as a complete lack of inhibition towards private parks. You talk about African tribes covering their genitals but I'm pretty sure you're gonna see them being uncovered (and being okay with it) for certain activities for a larger percentage of their day than westerners.
> That issue is considered a feature by many. Don't send out broken web pages. If you don't build your pages using string concatenation you have already eliminated most problems (it's just like SQL, in that respect).

Yes, but there weren't many tools to "correctly" compose XHTML back then.

> XML parsers are not that bad when you disable custom entities, which browsers could easily do.

Yes, but it's another thing browser developers need to think of. A lot of CVEs already originate in browser. Even if it's actually safe, people who got burnt by XML, would have bad opinions about XML in mind.
Contrarily I wish people used 'Nx times' more often, especially for 10x in place of 'an order of magnitude'. It's more welcoming and less pretentious.
Hi Freakynit,

Really appreciate all your advice and support on the post and thanks a lot for sharing your thoughtful responses. These are great alternative options and we will certainly consider these alternatives and think on them. Thanks again :)
Consider “cheapness” to be the reciprocal of price; thus, something that costs $30 has a cheapness score of 1/30 antidollars.

For this item to become 3x cheaper would mean for its cheapness score to be multiplied by 3, thus 1/10 antidollars. Thus “3x cheaper” means the same thing as “price multipled by one third”.
I believe that hCaptcha pays the site administrator, so for a Cloudflare or Discord it could be a sizable chunk of cash. Maybe not to them, but it’s something.

ClickHouse only has fixed run cost if you configure it that way. We run ClickHouse clusters in AWS / GCS using block storage in our cloud platform. You can scale VMs up and down vertically in minutes, and scale horizontally in the same amount of time. The model works great for SaaS use cases that require constant response at all times and scale over days or weeks rather than minutes. Real-time analytic apps that show tenant dashboards or generate recommendations for users on ecommerce sites have this characteristic.

I don't think there's really a right or wrong answer here, just trade-offs.

> If only DuckDuckGo existed, search algorithm quality would stagnate and then get worse ...

You appear to be one of the people who surprisingly still get good results from google.

There are dozens if not hundreds of discussions here in HN where people complain about exactly the opposite.

Google search results have become worse and worse in recent years, mostly except for search queries that involve finding buyable products anyway.

Many other searches where the goal is to simply find a text containing the search terms in a common context (simple retrieval of information) have become consistently worse, is my impression.
The results for these searches are typically littered with non sense sites that contain ads for related products and random collections of key words.

I’m specifically responding to your explanation of insurance here, to which another poster said “that’s a loan” [and you objected]

> Insurance is a "smoothing" tool, it lets you break a $5k lump expense out into $50/mo payments, it's not free money.

If you believe insurance is only spreading payments for losses over time, you don’t have a grasp of how it works. If you believe insurance is spreading payments for losses over multiple policyholders, you know how it works but didn’t express yourself very clearly and then objected when someone read your words and got misdirected by them.

> the "insurance industry comes out ahead on average" is true both of individual policies and on average

What would the former mean as distinct from the latter?
Unfortunately such a behavior is not at all new.

The best known example of these methods is how Microsoft has exploited the replacement of MS-DOS with Windows 3.0 and especially with Windows 95.

During the MS-DOS years, the only Microsoft software products that were successful were their software development tools, i.e. compilers and interpreters, and even those had strong competition, mainly from Borland. Those MS products addressed only a small market and they could not provide large revenues. The most successful software products for MS-DOS were from many other companies.

That changed abruptly with the transition to various Windows versions, when the Microsoft developers started to have a huge advantage over those from any other company, both by being able to use undocumented internal APIs provided by the MS operating systems and also by knowing in advance the future documented APIs, before they were revealed to competitors.

Thus in a few years MS Office has transitioned from an irrelevant product, much inferior to the competition, to the dominant suite of office programs, which has eliminated all competitors and which has become the main source of revenue for MS.

I was about to write exactly this; I thought that the way messenger pigeon delivery worked basically boiled down to "pigeons are obscenely good at finding their way back 'home' from an arbitrary distance." I didn't think you could just tell them a latitude and longitude or address and have them go there.
I've lived half my life in SF or LA. Movies set in LA are even more maddening than movies set in SF, because movies set in LA seem to aggressively make non-contiguous geography a hallmark of their LA scenes. And if you see an LA-set movie at Graumann's Chinese theater, the crowd will be particularly vociferous about these blatant errors.

> How do you do it when people keep finding new uses for whatever it is

Assuming there is an upgrade path it does make sense to plan to turn a thing off. The thing may consume resources / facilities that could be redeployed, operators could become available for other tasks (or require retraining, etc), or the controlling organisation might need to be restructured. There might be regulatory implications / costs, such as recycling or disposal of controlled substances etc.

If a retired thing is 'pure software', disposal might be simplified, but if it has physical or facilities elements (as per military capabilities mentioned by a sibling poster), disposal can be decidedly non-trivial.
I think GPT3 is just as amazing as DALLE, but gets less public awareness because the things it creates requires critical reading.

This is a good idea in theory but in practice it looks pretty scammish, or, at least, not reliable.

The website has none of the typical obnoxious financial disclaimers, which makes it look very amateurish.

It does not appear to be registered with the UK Financial Conduct Authority nor Financial Services Compensation Scheme.

Investing is done by sending money manually directly via bank transfer.

5% return "guaranteed" seems hard to believe. You must be evening out the average returns which each individual solar panel investment provides, which means you must have some significant buffer money. If you have this money, then why don't you have any money to spend on anything to make your business look trustworthy in any way?

Why have you spent resources to develop an app, when it seems to me that the core of your business should be offering reliable financial services - which could be interacted with via a single form instead of an app.

The Terms of Service look like an extremely generic set to describe a website, and not a financial service. They have also clearly not been reviewed properly by a lawyer; for example there are errors like: "Country refers to: Delaware".

I would advise anyone to think very carefully before "investing" via this.
>This is one of the most important moments in all of art history.

I agree, but not for the reasons you imply. It will force real artists to differentiate themselves from AI, since the line is now sufficiently blurred. It's probably the death of an era of digital art as we know it.
It's hard to understand because "cheaper" only makes sense as a relative comparison.

Assuming that if, say, the service was 25% cheaper than the nominal price last month, it is now 0.25 * 3 = 75% cheaper than the nominal price. However, it would make more sense to advertise that as a 75% discount over nominal price, so probably that's NOT what they meant.

That's the only explanation that makes sense arithmetically, I believe. There cannot be another interpretation of "3x cheaper" unless you reinterpret the word "cheaper."

Mild cases of CTE (like those found in high school football players), if and when they are symptomatic, typically cause symptoms like... anxiety and depression.
