You don't have to replace the roof. You can coat it in a white, "elastomeric" paint like [1]. Each bucket can do about 450 sq ft (40 sq m) and is ~$100 for the supplies.

In California, roof color isn't regulated, but reflectivity (or rather energy absorption) is by Title 24. You're basically required on new construction to have a fairly efficient roof.

I'm not asking Ukrainians anything, I do respect their decisions so. If they decide to continue with the Selensky government's course of resisting, cool, give them all the support NATO can offer short of going to war with Russia. If want to negotiate for peace, with or without a Selensky government, cool, help during negotiations as much as possible.

Resisting invaders is something I support my whole life, including the Taliban and Kurds. Or the whole of north africa. I also support, properly done, interventions against oppressive regimes.
It seems like England at its colonial offshoots were particularly successful.

Perhaps we can narrow the question to: what was going on with England socially and politically, and how were their colonial practices able to reproduce economic success in faraway places?
I am in the opposite boat

I spent most of my childhood coding (learning to code, working on projects and just messing around with computers), playing video games (mostly Half-Life and Portal mods and maps, and trying to develop my own source and goldsource engine mods) and studying (I was the teacher‘s pet and was always obsessed with my grades).

I am successful in my career but I often feel like I wasted my childhood. I wish I had more fun, I wish I played a sport or learnt a music instrument.

Looking back, my childhood was so boring and lonely

I often pass a football (soccer) field for a middle-school on my way to/from work and I feel jealous. I literally feel jealous of children

I often think to myself „if only I could go back in time“

I only made some friends at the end of my school days and in college, so my social skills suck

I am almost 30 and have never been in a relationship

I wish I went to more parties

I wish I had done something rebellious or bad when I was a child/teen

I am often jealous of my colleagues who are also software developers but had much better childhoods and generally normal lives, and even in software engineering, many of them are better than me

Yes, I spent my childhood coding, but I often feel like my skills are mediocre

Many of my colleagues who started coding in their 20s are much more advanced than me

I feel burnt out; my whole life seems to revolve around my career and I am Not evening that good at that

I don’t think people are understanding the subtlety of what she’s saying here. She’s saying that since there are no predictions to be made, there’s nothing falsifiable in any of the many theories. Worse, if the theories _do_ make falsifiable predictions that still will only reduce the imaginative space, not reduce it down to one theory, and that instead we choose between theories on the basis of how many “constants” they require.

This argument isn’t invalidated by possible future discoveries. It’ll still be possible to generate competing elegant mathematical models that only differ in ways that are unobserved.
Its not practical. The extra energy costs act like a high tax.

It might make sense, for a while with aircraft, or for a classic car that rarely gets used, but would be too expensive for developing nations to use when they have other options. They'd save lots of money by using the same energy directly in newly built (or converted) EVs.
Yeah, one of the things I did once was use sudo emacs to edit the sudoers file (I didn’t know better) and in the process locked myself out of sudo.¹ With sudo you can muck up a lot of permissions/security that shouldn’t get mucked and backing out of that can be challenging.

A documentary about this would be great. Especially, if it was a series that covered peaceful, disruptive protests over the years. It would be helpful for those wanting to do something similarly effective without the violence and chaos we've seen over the last few years.

I'm not sure what part you're disagreeing with. Do you dispute that we know smallpox's mortality rate? Or that we have a reasonable idea of what it (and other diseases) would do to a population with no natural immunity?
That's funny. If I had a bigger brain I too would munch on fruit instead of leafs. I think they have it backward causation wise.
Sounds like this is in the same vein as the Cooking Hypothesis? Basically that control of fire led to cooking which led to greater nutrient acquisition from foods ( because more foods can be made edible, cooking reduces the energy cost of eating raw by "pre-digesting" them, and reduces losses by allowing the creation of basic broth style foods ) in turn leading to larger brains and our own evolution
Not to mention Germany (largest economy in Europe) and their nuclear debacle. They could have spent the last 20 years building additional nuclear power and reducing dependency on Russia, instead of doing the opposite. 15+ years ago it was obvious what Putin was and the direction Russia was heading.

Germany should be a super exporter of energy to the EU/Eurozone (they are a big electricity exporter, they should and could be considerably more so). They land border nine other nations (and are of course very close to Italy). They have the technical and financial ability to do it.

Oh boy.

My comparison is 100% fair. Your new version does not work; `arguments` is an array-like object and does not support Array.filter.

If you value having one less dependency over everything else, then more power to you, but clsx and classnames are very popular libraries for a reason.

Like the other user said, sounds like fiction although you would need to work extensively with an editor if you plan on collaborating with a publisher. While, there are self-publishing platforms yours would be one of thousands of submissions, many of which will wither in obscurity while hoping to be the next 50 Shades of Grey.

And you're right, the past is gone; however, it's interesting where you stand upon reflection. The loss of the girlfriend is not something you regret, yet the loss of your ability to play guitar is something you do regret. That is something to consider.

I would love to hear your explanation of how government intervention is the only thing preventing a monopoly or oligopoly of plumbers, electricians, pet groomers, or halal carts.
Re: "Setting a performance obligation for a wind farm is like prohibiting wildfires..."

This ignores that risks can be insured. If your risk isn't insurable, your pricing, costs, etc. are probably out of whack. In this case, it seems more like Dominion was expecting to cash in on subsidies in a classic "socialize risk, privatize profit" move. When the conditions around that changed, they got pouty.

Why are you so excited? Did you design the M2? Do you manufacture the M2? Did you fund the M2? If so, feel free to be proud of it. You made a technological advance happen. But if you just walked into a store and bought one, I dunno, I think you're arriving pretty late in the evolution to take a personal interest in its success.

> That's not 100% true. There can (and is) proof and evidence for validating religious claims. You're conflating belief in the unseen (with evidence) with blind faith without evidence, those are two different things.

Any religion who claims there is a God does not have proof of such. If there was real experimentally testable and unambigous proof than scientists would need to accept that.

What does belief in the unseen with evidence mean?

> He mentions that non-religious people can have morals later in the lecture.

So he is contradicting himself then. I'm now at minute 30 but there are so many logical fallacies it's really hard to watch.

The example with the kid asking why the mother is boiling water and apparently science not being able to explain the "why" ("because I love you") or the reason of why the universe exists: he then turns around and just claims religion can give you the correct answer which clearly it can't because there are different religions that would give you possibly different answers and they can't all be right at the same time.

He claims science cannot "prove" emotions or other workings of our brain. Well I think we're getting closer and closer to understand how the brain works. We already know that emotions are in part controlled by substances like hormones. We don't know 100% of it but we're working on it.

He further goes on to claim that science cannot provide morality. He again gives no evidence of this. Why can't we derive morals from logical scientific arguments?

Another claim is that science could not explain why someone would go and help a drowning kid. Once more no evidence. How about us being evolutionary programmed to keep our offspring alive to increase chance of the survival of our species? Just earlier to that he claimed animals have no morals. But that is the exact same behaviour that animals are showing...

I can't also follow the argument about science needing to find all possible combinations of DNA mutations that show the transition from apes to humans. Why does it need to show every minute step? How does that show religion is correct instead?

The constant flood of strawmans is impressive at least. I'm at minute 30 and not sure if I will comment more on it, it is very tedious because there is just such an enormous amount of illogical argumentation.
The article states:

>There were very few 'Anna Nicole Smiths' before 2000, it wasn't really until Paris Hilton who broke the mould and 'professionalized' the notion.

Just because you didn't know about socialites before MTV poured millions of marketing dollars in Paris doesn't mean they didn't exist. Anna Nicole Smith came into real fame in 1993. You have women like Gigi Hadid and Kate Moss who were very famous socialites who were the aspirations of teen girls everywhere. Typically they were models, but that isn't any different than an influencer today who takes selfies. I know I'm being extremely condescending to both of these women but on the barmoeter for "doing something" there isn't that much different from someone like Kate Moss and Addison Rae or Valkyrae. To claim that no one wanted to be Kate Moss in the 90s given how much of a problem anorexia became is ridiculous.

Honestly, someone equally unaware could say the same thing about gaming. It's like saying "Notch" professionalized the notion of being a game developer. For Gen Z there is likely far more people who played Minecraft than have played Quake, but it would be ridiculous to say that game development didn't exist before Notch or that people didn't aspire to be game developers before Minecraft.

>And nobody wanted to be Anna Nicole Smith

This is a woman who had several modeling deals but I guess the executives at those companies were completely braindead and didn't realize that people didn't care for her.

> and they should all be seriously considered.

They are. And the various airforces have always investigated unidentified flying objects simply because that's literally the point of having an airforce.

This generally comes in one of three conclusions:

1. We had a secret research project all along, and thanks to codeword-level classification the people who spotted our secret planes/drones/method for interfering with our own sensor data had no idea it was us all along.

2. Same but it was a foreign project.

3. Systematic flaw with our sensors or lack of general knowledge because the tech is new. (My dad had a few examples of that, one of which had the punchline "turns out the moon doesn't have an IFF transponder", another time it was "until they sent up the interceptors to check on them, we didn't realise geese ever flew that high").

Care to guess about the light? Another hint: no battery.
Censoring and forcing local equivalents is a false equivalence.

The censoring makes the western internet quite hard to use without vpns (or last time I was there, Google Fi seemed to not have to go through the firewall and routed the traffic through Europe somehow?)
Why do you think that matters?
You might as well ask "what makes you trust your own perception when you verify scientific claims"?
As it happens, literally every time you switch on a light you are, in fact, verifying multiple scientific theories. Not to mention interacting with your phone or computer to type your HN comments.
Correct, I have edited the comment. Thank you.
It is one of the biggest conflict since World War II with as many as 10,000 Ukrainian civilians killed, the same amount of soldiers. While indiscriminately killing, raping, torturing and kidnapping people Russia have lost at least 20,000 soldiers. These are conservative estimates.

Russia is committing the gravest crimes in Ukraine. It already sent and keeps sending tens of thousands of young men to their early grave, for absolutely nothing. Hundreds of thousands of people either dead, wounded or traumatized, for absolutely nothing. The future of millions is being pissed away, for absolutely nothing.
Very cool - any interesting use cases you have seen from users so far?
"There were also definitely some bad paradigms invented as a result of SQL (e.g. all business logic lives in the database as stored procedures or stored functions),"

I hope you don't mean by that that integrity enforcement (checking the compliance of the data with ALL declared business rules) does not belong in the DBMS. Because the exact opposite is true : inside the DBMS is the only place where it belongs. Or if not the only, then certainly still the primary.
Because the whole premise and foundation of religion is that you ought to believe things absent evidence and without good reasons (that’s what faith is). If you have good reasons to believe something you give the reason; religion does not and should not, especially with its centuries-long history of malice and suppression towards free and scientific thought, deserve any credibility when it comes to matters of facts.
Compare AMD Ryzen 7 5800U [1] with Apple M2 8 Core [2] and you will see that Apple Silicon is not "magnitudes more efficient", but ca. 30% faster in single-thread, but at the same time 30% slower in multi-thread and with 25% higher TDP... This is not "magnitudes more efficient"...

To a degree, but each wine exporter has a certain degree of capacity to import wine e.g., warehouses, staff, and trucks. This all can be be scaled up, but only after some time has elapsed and additional capital being placed at risk.

It's reasonable to assume that these folks may have significantly reduced NZ's imports of SA wine for at least a while.

Yes - and voting procedures are a great example. You do not want to be arguing about who is entitled to vote, or the process to be followed, when a highly controversial question is before the group. That guarantees a meta-fight about the rules, because the precise choice of counting rule etc. will benefit one 'side' of the issue. And that leads to (extra) bitterness. Choose a reasonable voting process in advance, then use that. There's no such thing as a perfect process anyway.
Methane has been detected on Mars, and is not regarded as proof of ‘life’. In addition to bacteriological sources of methane, it can be produced through geochemical processes. I am not sure which, if any atmospheric gasses would be proof-of-life.

If what you say is in fact realistic, nuclear plants would be insurable without capped liability. Insurers are not driven by public opinion.

I think there's a 2MW test turbine off Scotland which I think is the biggest in the world.

This isn't about safety and doesn't need to be for it to be perfectly reasonable reaction. There are 2 daily flights from the US to Ghana; this one from JFK and a United flight from Dulles. In comparison, there are more than 15 flights daily from just JFK to Heathrow. Repeatedly losing a couple hundred passengers, mostly business travelers and wealthier Ghanaian nationals is a BFD. Unreliable service inconveniences their more connected citizens, and greatly increases the costs of doing business in Ghana. Ghana needs this to be a reliable connection, and this is them telling Delta to get their act together.

I would say it's an unlikely coincidence, but not truly bizarre.

- It's common for desi names to start with A or K

- It's common for desis to use initials when referring to themselves

- Some desi surnames are over-represented in the population

- People with desi names are likely to come in contact with South Asian culture irrespective of their environment or if they speak the relevant languages. Or rather, they are more likely to have these avenues to begin with if they ended up with such a naming scheme.

- There are only so many foundational or well-known texts in any culture, so if there is a relevant passage, it has a high likelihood of being cited

It's not that different from a Jay Smith and a John Smith quoting a relevant C.S. Lewis or Biblical passage and having a jsmith handle.
Sure, but that's not related to this study.

Maybe that's something we'll detect over the course of hundreds of years of observing, but the shear scale of the time of the universe makes the chances that some other alien species just happens to be going through an industrial revolution while we're around to observe it, are so astronomically small as to barely be worth considering.

In your example, an intelligent species in an industrial revolution would probably be at the bottom of the list of likely explanations, simply because of how statistically unlikely it appears to be.
