Consciousness/existence is the only valuable thing, in the face of losing it.

I can't believe all the comments are talking about "who will run their farm" and "what will they do with no jet fuel."

Everyone is so used to insulting wealthy people, they're grasping at straws here.
In that article (for industrial process heating), it could be in °C.

For home heating, 150°C would be far too dangerous to circulate.
I expect stuff like this will become compulsory in the near future. “For your own good”, of course.
>My understanding of bullying is that it includes that behaviour.

it's like one of those irregular verbs, isn't it? I am bringing accountability, you are a journalist, he is a bully.

>That is blind to the mechanisms of stochastic terrorism. One can encourage certain behaviour, knowing that statistically, someone will go overboard and do what they wish would happen. Then they can disavow it and ban them. Rinse, repeat.

this is self-evidently ridiculous. it would justify any kind and degree of censorship anything of remotely controversial, and there's no way to disprove the accusation. someone, somewhere, becomes "radicalized" and commit some crime, and months ago you said something vaguely related to it: that means you're a "stochastic terrorist". it's an absurd thought-terminating cliche.

and note that this is never applied with any kind of consistency or good faith, and never to people comfortably inside the Overton window even when they do objectively evil shit. e.g. will the neocon pundits who lied for months about Iraqi WMDs ever be prosecuted as "stochastic terrorists" because they made it more likely that the US went overboard and launched an illegal war? will BLM organizers get done for "stochastic terrorism" because their rhetoric made race riots more likely?

"stochastic terrorism" is just a fancier and more sinister way of saying "stirring up trouble", a catchall excuse/euphemism for authority to clamp down on speech they don't like.
For what it worth — this is mentioned in the article but not emphasized — it doesn't end with student status. Bullying targets everyone up the academic career trajectory. Students are especially vulnerable I think but it can happen to anyone.
I’m going to guess that “free” is quoted because of an experience similar to my own. I signed up for free credit reporting after a breach years ago. Months later they started to deduct around $12 a month from my account. It was free with a monthly subscription following. If that’s still a thing the credit bureaus are making serious money from these leaks.
You do get slightly different tech when aimed at air-to-air and air-to-water needs, and different target temps and there's newer generations of the same tech that rivals ground source heat pumps.

So its not just a rip off, though there's probably a fair bit of that too as demand has risen recently.
The cheap DIY is to add WiFi switches to your bathroom fans, turn them on when humidity is lower outside or when the outside is cooler than the inside.
> depending on local regulations, they may have been able to insulate to a higher standard

Are you implying that some places have maximum amounts of insulation that are allowed for new construction? This seems backwards.
I've been trying to get the basujindal fork to work, but it seems to be putting all work on the CPU. I've been running the example txt2img prompt for 30 minutes now and it's still not finished. It has reserved 4Gb memory from the GPU, but the GPU doesn't appear to be doing any work, only CPU is doing work.
I would start by reading Japan Dev, which was on HN recently:

> to sue Canadian police for unspecified reasons

The reason originally given was that they "misgendered" them. The chief released a statement saying that he had personally reviewed all recordings and found no evidence of this. Also made a statement that they knocked on Keffals door, and took them into custody without any issues, in direct contradiction to Keffals statement about waking up with an assault rifle in their face from the 'SWATing'.

Worth noting that as part of the police detaining them, they also confiscated their phone and hard-drives. Which might explain why they are 'fleeing' all over the world except to Canada..
Haskell as a research language was very successful. It taught us a lot things:

- Monads work as a way to isolate side-effects;

- Lazy by default is a bad idea;

- Overly academic programming languages generate toxic community.
I think that a better analogy would be individual germanium transistors vs. a printed circuit of silicon transistors. Similar principle, but a big leap in practicality.
I don’t think if we went fully uncaring of the pandemic in 2020 we would have the same results in 2022. We didn’t have vaccines, antiviral drugs, knowledge of how to treat, a less pathological strain in circulation, etc. in 2020.

No thanks, have a nice weekend.
I have to wonder - are there any USB sticks available that have a read-only toggle like floppies used to have?
Do they really agree, or are they just paying lip service to public sentiment?

I ask because it’s really difficult to tell the difference, and I’m still not sure whether I believe the ultra wealthy when they agree.
I'll repost that in sibling. I just realized that I'd rather have people saying "ah, typical of proprietary software to not support Linux" than "your work has no value because I can't compete with you using your own code". I'm not going to stop supporting Linux because of this, but it still seems like a backwards incentive.

This is a business, not a pet project. I work on it full time and it is my meager source of income. I'm not convinced it is possible to make much of a living on open source.

I do mean hostile when I say hostile. I have a particular project of mine in mind, where the fork renamed, split the user base, and lagged behind my changes. They later just reset to my HEAD (as I was making way more progress than the fork), then removed attribution in the docs and solicited donations for the work I had done. I burned out on that project shortly after.

> if the users don't control the software, the software controls the users

Talon is free, runs offline, cares about user privacy and security, and gives an incredible amount of control to the user. The entire voice interface and behavior is defined in the user's code. There are several open source projects in this space and none of them are anywhere close to Talon on making it easy to build and customize your own voice / hands free interface.
This would seem to be a good time for someone who could make acceptable corrections to give examples of what they have in mind.

Key point:
“It’s a voluntary program,” Emmett Romine, vice president of customer solutions and innovation at Xcel, told local news station KMGH-TV. “Let’s remember that this is something that customers choose to be a part of based on the incentives.”

This is fairly common with other utilities as well, my local utility did the same thing a few years ago.
The problem with Scrum is people talking about how this should be more Scrum, or how this is not really how Scrum is/defines things/should happen.

Rather than focusing on the team, its own alchemy, its work and the very specific nature of the work.

The process should adapt to the people and the work at hand. Not the other way around. That's the very ethos of the Agile Manifesto. Scrum is used in corporate environments as the exact opposite.
Yeah like why are the numbers so enormous? Game shows typically require signing up, a lot of waiting, backgrounders, castings even, they don't treat you great, and they tease money but never pay it. Like one time per game show, not per season, per show.

And it fucks people's reasoning about money up, you can't go into a raise negotiation with those game show numbers getting your personal finances and your leverage and expectations out of whack. Same as fashion magazines, just seeing a pretty shirt and seeing it costs $45000 for instance instantly fucks your notion of the value of a dollar.
Once again, these are all social media claims by people who, in many cases, weren't even connected to the dead person. And in most of the cases KF wasn't even mentioned by the victim at all. In fact one of them explicitly lists the mental health system and the fact that they were just made homeless as their reasons.. That didn't stop social media "allies" from ignoring their final comments and using their deaths to attack KFs.
Loss driven growth is just a pyramid scheme to make early investors rich. Not sure what the solution is, but one could be to tax cap gains on non profitable companies (massively) higher than what the tax on profit would be.
Have you looked at your schedule? I know a weirdly large number of people that don't realize their Nest has a schedule.
Wouldn't you just write:

Play Store has local alternatives because Android allows third party stores.

So App Store is a monopoly on Apple devices, and on Android based devices there's plenty of choice ranging from bad for privacy (Play store) to fully FOSS-only (F-droid).
The problem is not that Scrum doesn't have these things. The problem is that Scrum is a heavy and rigid set of processes that, besides a few useful things, adds a lot of unnecessary overhead.

Daily Scrum, Sprint Review, Sprint Goal, even the role of Scrum Master - depending on the team, some or all of these things can be removed to the benefit of the team, but Scrum itself doesn't allow it. It's either all or nothing, which is why I believe Scrum itself is anti-Agile.
Not an expert, but the much higher heat capacity (and heat conductivity) of water compared to air is likely one reason. But also, when it’s really cold outside, an air to air heat pump is much less efficient. If you have access to liquid water, that is of course much warmer than outside air.
It can be circumvented by not enrolling in the program that does this.
You know you can download the code yourself, right? You need not be reliant on their web interface if you're having these control issues.

It's also clearly in place because they don't have an age disclaimer, which would likely open them up to some sort of liability (or additional liability). Again, it's open source, and freely available, so like. . . this feels like a you problem, sorry.
Just like programming in C. You think you got it right, but then bugs...
Worth noting Dennis own words,

"Although the first edition of K&R described most of the rules that brought C's type structure to its present form, many programs written in the older, more relaxed style persisted, and so did compilers that tolerated it. To encourage people to pay more attention to the official language rules, to detect legal but suspicious constructions, and to help find interface mismatches undetectable with simple mechanisms for separate compilation, Steve Johnson adapted his pcc compiler to produce lint [Johnson 79b], which scanned a set of files and remarked on dubious constructions."

No, the temperatures are in Celsius. From the white paper linked from the main article: "This paper makes a distinction between low temperature (<200°C) and high temperature (>200°C) process heat". https://www.sintef.no/globalassets/sintef-energi/industrial-...
To build an in orbit refueling station as a gateway to the moon and mars to accelerate public and private interplanetary infrastructure. The reuse of parts minimizes cost which is crucial to the survival of a for profit entity. Public work doesn’t have a profit motive and can choose to focus on lift capacity and building the non economic stepping stones to vastly accelerate things we as a society consider key stepping stones for some broader purpose.

I don’t want nasa to be wasteful per se, but choosing to focus on heavy lift and the gateway and base infrastructure seems like a wise focus of engineering talent and money. If they were planning thousands of launches of SLS then fine.

If you like the combination of math, hacking, and madness, check out Pi (1998). It's a bit disturbing, but sounds like it might be up your alley. It's a filmmaking masterpiece.
Thanks for the incisive response. It is good to be reminded that chaps like

> Dick Cheney since 2009 (former vice president of the United States), Rupert Murdoch (media mogul and chairman of News Corp), James Woolsey (former CIA director), Larry Summers (former head of the US Treasury), Bill Richardson (former Governor of New Mexico, ex-ambassador to the United Nations and United States Energy Secretary), Michael Steinhardt, Jacob Rothschild, and Mary Landrieu, former United States Senator from Louisiana

are just as prone to be taken in by wild schemes as the rest of us mortals.
They got the use of it for however long, for whatever price. Was it worth it? Maybe.

It's not a shocking surprise that a device has a limited lifetime. People who buy $1000 smartphones, just to buy another one two years later, are complaining about this?

Just because something ends, doesn't mean it wasn't good while it lasted.
Wait a minute, that's not fun at all!
The real advantage that Chinese writing has is that it bridges very different, mutually unintelligible variants of the language.

Imagine a common "Germanic" or "Roman" script that would be comprehensible to any literate person that speaks any Germanic or Roman language. So the same book could be read by people in San Francisco, Berlin, Oslo and Amsterdam without the need to learn any new language.

This might be one of the reasons why China is still one country with one central bureaucracy, which is nigh impossible to establish in Europe, all the EU-wide initiatives notwithstanding.

But it comes with a high bar to clear as to what "literacy" even means. Westerners are fully literate in their native languages after several years of elementary school; the same cannot be said about the Chinese.
‘We gave public health measures a half-assed try, and they only seemed moderately effective’ is not data that shows ‘just how ineffectual masks and the vaccines are.’

Remember that the goals of most pandemic measures were to keep case levels low enough to keep hospitals functional. During periods with high regional covid caseloads, hospital capacity continues to be severely impacted. The ‘let it rip’ approach would have had far worse consequences.
It's all about trade-offs. It may be worth the trouble for space craft, and that may open up aircraft applications, or we may have hydro-something in airplanes instead of hydro-carbons - Ammonia (hydrogen+nitrogen), Magnesium Hydride, etc.
That doesn’t really solve the problem though because “inciting hatred” is subjective.

For example, there are people who would say that anyone who disagrees with the fat acceptance movement is guilty of “inciting hatred” against fat people.

Yet I would argue that we need to leave the door open to these kinds of uncomfortable conversations. Otherwise, people will be afraid to speak their minds because they don’t know if they’ve crossed the line.

Edit: Also, how do you define “capable of disturbing the public peace”?
> And as a matter of logic, the first person who argues that someone just shouldn't have a right to speak, is the very FIRST person who should lose the right to speak in such a case.

This is another reason why dropping Kiwi Farms was the right decision.

I understand people have mixed feelings about the Paradox of Tolerance, but I generally don't think that it even comes into play here except in its most pure form (Popper was a lot more narrow about what he considered intolerable speech than most people realize). I'm not here to litigate Popper -- the Paradox of Tolerance is worth talking about in general, but I don't think that the Kiwi Farms' ideology was the most dangerous thing about the site. I think that they were actively pushing people off of the Internet. They were actively taking away the rights of other people to speak.

The ideology of Kiwi Farms (to the extent it has one) is dangerous, but it's a secondary conversation from what the site was really doing.

I heard so many stories during this campaign from people talking about how they were scared to go online, how their family members were being intimidated just to get at them, how systematically isolated they felt. Is that the result of an ideology with negative consequences, or is that the result of a site that's just literally and plainly threatening freedom of discourse online? I think it's the second.

And I saw a lot of excuses made to Kiwi Farms victims that they could make the abuse stop by just not being public online: not talking about it, not streaming or having online businesses. Essentially, the solution people proposed to stop that abuse was to go away and stop existing in the public sphere so that Kiwi Farms wouldn't have a "reason" to target them. Well, when someone is arguing that the correct way to combat abuse is for the victims to give up their speech rights and to exit the public sphere, then who should be the first person to lose their right to speak in that case?
The problem is no one wants to invest into making an mobile OS that OEMs will use. Nearly every alt mobile OS I've seen feels like it's coupled to the hardware and meant to be unique or super privacy focused which is a turn off for OEMs. OEMs have already been burnt by creating their own OS so none of them are getting in the mix. Microsoft screwed up too badly to come back. And Blackberry just staginated.
Technically true, but missing the context. What happens is regulated by applicable local law: if both sides are happy with that solution and it's legal to do so, the issue may be resolved with a refund.

For example in Australia ACCC says that sure, you're entitled to a refund as one of the options when a product/service fails. But that doesn't stop you from being able to claim damages or losses even if you're fully refunded. https://www.accc.gov.au/consumers/consumer-rights-guarantees...

Actually I'd love to see the result of involving ACCC in this situation if someone in Oz gets terminated. They can be very detailed in their analysis if they're interested.
Or thinking "how my compiler does it" == ISO C.
This just makes me even angrier knowing that I only have a LIMITED time to convince CommenterJoe3343 how wrong his opinion is before we are both dead.
Why isn't it possible to resolve such business disputes through the courts?

For example, Epic's suit wasn't thrown out of court immediately, so I just don't see how other decisions could not be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

Water is much more efficient at thermal transfer than air. All of those little brittle fins on the outside, less compressor run time.

It's also better in cold weather for heating as a water mass rarely gets below freezing.

The issues are a water source and corrosion.
I feel like installing a heat pump which cannot cool is a mistake at this point.

Heat waves are already getting more intense and more frequent. While AC was a luxury a decade or two ago, it is rapidly becoming a necessity.

It is absolutely bizarre seeing houses designed like -20C winters are still a common thing, while completely ignoring summer heat.
Takedown, the kevin Mitnick story was a cool watch. Also Blackhat was another good one. Another favorite of cheesy old 80's films is Prime Risk.
No, but they'll insist on minimum ventilation if you burn stuff, which usually involves letting heated/cooled air out with the toxins.
When the only argument is fallacious, you actually need to provide something non- fallacious or you are left with no argument and your premise fails, as is the case here. I find it condescending that your only reply was a link and no text. Peak intellectual laziness.

They may have the same width, but not the same rank.

From C99 §6.3.1.1:

int, […]

> — The rank of any unsigned integer type shall equal the rank of the corresponding
signed integer type, if any.
Surprised I got all the questions right because I tend to code around those limits, sticking to defining always safe types for the problem at hand, in all the cases I'm not sure about ranges, possibile overflows and so forth. What I mean is that if you have to remember the rules in a piece of code you are writing, it is better to rewrite the code with new types that are obviously safe.
Giggled, imagining all those muscle memory typos. It took me a while to start typing "myself" properly instead of "mysql", thanks to Postgres.
No, not even then. You shouldn't play games other people arrange in any way, except ie educationally, or for the pleasure of winning and nothing else. Not with money.

Prizes for challenges, maybe. Chess tournaments with a buy-in, that I respect because no luck involved, meaning no tipping the scales no cheating.

So the problem in gambling is when you just lost a big bet of money you didn't need and the only way to recover is putting up a tiny bit of money you do need. By nature gambling--and by the way it's sold--is designed to fuck with that fine line.
If the numbers from DoJ are to be believed, this was far from the largest DDoS-for-Hire operation by revenue.
Agreed. Plus, it's not like CF "deplatformed" KF as suggested by others. CF simply decided that this customer wasn't worth the trouble and pulled the plug on the services they provide. Their services being a means to anonymize their hosting provider to the general public and DDoS protection. KF can go elsewhere -- hell, look at PirateBay and what they've done to stay online despite similar issues and much more aggressive attempts to "deplatform."
