It seems odd to account for hard water in one appliance but not another.

I’ve lived in places with hard water and most people have a water softener right next to their water heater so that all water to all appliances in the house is softened.

This is off tangent, but I wish they'd find a new thing besides dollars to measure with.

Or pin it to the average income.

After laws have been in effect fifty or a hundred years, the amounts don't make sense anymore, and they usually aren't updated very often.

See the IRS reporting requirement still being 10k, or some old laws with really small fines
Makes sense to be wary of older bills. Newer ones have many more security measures. Makes more sense when you're in Lebanon where there may not be as much scrutiny over the circulation as there would be in the USA.

Sad for Lebanon whichever way you look at it
I think they do it on purpose, it's only just ukraine, why waste your best equipment for it? why potentially give away military secrets in case they are getting captured by NATO

Both the US and France made the mistake to send their best weapons, only for them to get sold in black market, and then Russia managed to buy them, they now reverse engineered them and are able to detect and counter US/FR missiles

Hence the reason why the US is now against sending most of their weapons, too late

I just think of hydrogen cars as electric cars with a competing battery technology. I think li-ion batteries have just come a longer way in energy density, lifecycle, and charging speed than anyone expected 20 years ago.
WiFi? Eh. As an ever-so-modest upgrade to the cheap DIY, a Zwave or Zigbee system might be a better choice to integrate with a variety of other things (like thermostats and temperature/humidity sensors.)
One of the demo projects listed in the linked white paper is aiming for >50% of theoretical efficiency in that temperature range

> LowCapex and FUSE (TNO): Demonstration of heat pump technology on an industrial scale (2 MW), producing process steam at temperatures between 120°C to 150°C from waste heat at 60°C to 90°C with efficiencies above 50 % of the theoretical maximum.

Elsewhere in the white paper:

> Comparing these alternatives, it has been shown that high temperature heat pumps, with COPs as low as 2, are competitive in levelized cost of heat with biomass boilers and natural-gas based boilers under consideration of a CO2 tax of 50 €/tonne.

So... definitely not slam dunk.

I once tried to start Firefox (back in the 2.5-3.0 days >:D) on a Celeron with 64MB RAM.

It worked perfectly fine, with the sole exception that the HDD LED was on solid the whole time, a single window took just over a literal half an hour to open, and loading a webpage took about 1-2 minutes.

But it worked.

I don't know how things work in Australia, but I'd be really surprised if someone signing up to sell apps on the app store would be treated as a consumer.

Can I ask you. For all intents and purposes, what is the difference between Cloudflare and a regular host except an expiry time on the content they host?

Cloudflare:
- Makes a website available through their IP addresses
- Resolves a site's DNS
- Stores the content of the website on their servers, to serve to clients. The fact that there's an expiration on that content is of no consequence.

The fact that the final source-of-truth lies offsite makes no difference.
If I rent a regular, run of the mill server and have it proxy all requests to a different server, does that suddenly make the first host bulletproof to any and all scrutiny?

Cloudflare likes to pretend they are a neutral entity, impartial, just like regular Internet Providers but they are decidedly not. They are being paid by their customers to store and serve their content from their servers and to perform traffic filtering.
If you start down this line then there are lots of rights that should be taken away from people.

Korean phonology is interesting. As a beginner in the language, it seems like the vowel sounds are richer and more complex while the consonants are simpler and less varied than English.
Yep, it's an ideology in the broad sense. A description of the person's experience of the material forces of the present, projected out into a fantasy of the future.

Parent's link about the persecution complex in modern evangelical Xians is dead on. I grew up in this community. Despite being one of the most powerful lobby forces in North American society -- with their fingers in every aspects of public life -- they are constantly crowing about their persecution and using language reminiscent of martyrdom of the early Churches or the crucifixion of Christ.

To them, the physical world will always be a corrupted and sinful place that they must only endure while waiting for the next -- and to bring as many people with them to that next world as they can through evangelism.

And a significant wing of them believes strongly that we're in an end-times scenario. Or desires to be in that situation, because that scenario involves the return of their Messiah.

In its worst form, it is a death cult, and the "prepper" community in large part circles around that. Or around virulent anti-communism/anti-socialism. Many of these people are the exact opposite of the kind of people you'd want managing a transition into an actual society-wide crisis -- because they are anti-society itself.

Not really. Among others you can find tweets saying shit like "no bad tactics, just bad targets". Keffals also rejoiced in taking away people's sources of income in the past, amongst others that of a streamer named Destiny. I also recall her being giddy about trying to get someone's nursing license removed, but I can't find an archived version of that.

One person on a forum did. The post was removed as soon as it was seen by a mod, which was within 30 minutes. It was from an account that never posted otherwise. That's suspect.

Sleuthing and finding someone's address isn't in itself illegal.

These are, and they explicitly say to not do any of that shit. When people do this or say they'll do it they get banned.

I defend them because while I think they're on or over the borderline of what is morally acceptable, that I find how they use their free speech to be objectionable doesn't mean I think it should be taken away from them. These people find joy, for whatever perverse reason, in finding out details about the weirdest e-celebs and sharing those details. I think it's not a good thing generally, but doing that is very much within the limits of free speech.

I do not agree with them from an ideological perspective, nore do I understand why they like doing what they do. However, I will defend their right to do so, because free speech is free speech, even when I disagree with it.

> You can't just... let them be?

It's very quickly becoming obvious that you haven't looked into the history of these terminally online mad-people. Some keywords would be 'DIY bathtub HRT' and 'Catboy ranch', in this particular case, though on the other hand, for your sanity I would suggest not to.
Unfortunately, even if you’re using uint16_t (which, remember, the C standard does not guarantee exists) on a platform with (say) 32-bit integers, you’re still actually computing in signed int due to promotion.

I am not one of those people you describe who is qualified to speak on the talent side of things (although I suspect the hypothetical 10x rocket engineer who would prevent this does not exist). The real answer is quite clear and well documented by the press: This is a matter of NASA being dependent on hiring defense-industry contractors in the districts of key Congressional sponsors for almost all of its funding, rather than making good financial or engineering decisions.

> 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.

Of course it doesn't. It wouldn't be scrum if these were removed; it would be something else. Which is fine; but if you prefer to organize your work in a way that isn't scrum, then why would you call it scrum?

There are two issue in heating a home with a heat-pump:

- one is for new homes, well insulated that do not demand much energy and have a p.v. system, so they need ways to minimize all costs, one way is if space is not an issue, to heat large quantity of water and store them to grab heat at night. For instance if you need 40kWh to heat the home for a night having something able to push 1000l of water let's say from 20 to 60℃ quickly enough to run on winter Sun from p.v. means free heat for the night [1];

- one is for those with old homes, who simply need MUCH thermal energy. They do not have much choices, so they need powerful heat-pumps and in that case low temp heating it's not much an option, they need high temperature water.

This is interesting for another consideration: most "efficient" electrical devices are built to consume less overall, but their load profile is TERRIBLE for a p.v. inverter. Witch means that a modern tumbler with a heat-pump not only costs more and last less than a classic ones but if you have p.v. it means LESS self-consumption. Similarly for ovens who try "pushing the heat" instead of give large amount of energy: they tend to have pulse loads that are terrible for a p.v. inverter. That's a thing their OEMs must consider in the present and future models.

[1] if some are curious thermal kWh = 4.2 kJ/kg·℃ * (initial_temp-final_temp) * volume_in_liters * 1/3600 h/s witch means in the above example 4.2(60-20)1000*(1/3600) = 46.67kWh
That is absolutely insane. I don't care what the gender politics situation is. These hormones have significant risks associated with their use and are not things that can be sold to children.
This all contributes to a social custom of looking to be wronged, so that you may point out the evil of the person/generation/world. However, people aren't idiots and can _sometimes_ tell if you're just faking for clout. This leads to a feedback loop of needing to be really hurt, seeing other people be really hurt, believing your really hurt, and finally internalizing that pain and trauma. Things do hurt, bad words are called bad for a reason. Society might be better if we were all nice. But every bad word and every microaggression does not need to become such a large roadblock to personal freedom. People are chaining themselves to the road with this stuff. Dieing on hills that require them to have been personally wronged, using their own pain as a way to shut down criticism. Yes, people hurt, and things can be bad. But it's also entirely possible to see something hurtful and continue life without it hurting you. It's 100% doable to actually not be hurt, not just ignore it, but to construct a self esteem and understanding that allows you to not be shanked by every half difficult social interaction that occurs.

Mental health awareness is good. But social signals lead individuals to believing they must be hurt to be a part of the in group. Virtue through suffering is an incredibly effective signaling mechanism
That turns into a different dynamic. Your money no longer has power so you become much more accessible and vulnerable. If you happen to be rich and a great leader, you'll probably remain on top though.
The issue is about "free speech" AND "due process" AND the "rule of law". In the US, the law is emphatic that the government shall not infringe upon the free speech of the individual except under very limited circumstances. People on HN insisting that these are private corporations doing private things are painfully naive "useful idiots" or shills for the government. Zuckerberg just admitted that the FBI and intelligence services applied pressure on Facebook to suppress information that would harm the campaign of the candidate who ended up winning the last presidential election. That is fact. The "requests" from government are ALWAYS going to be couched in the language of risk and helping law enforcement. And what would the consequences of a media company's refusal to comply be? What corporate executive wants to find out?

There is already US case law prohibiting this. At scale, governments prefer to act through "private" enterprise. Such enterprises are "state actors" suppressing speech. That is why government prefers monopoly capitalism. Who wouldn't rather have just one or a few partners to manage?

Of course this is a free speech issue, but it's much more. Cloudflare's volte face is super sus. Even if it's the case that no direct government agents were involved this time, the astroturfed pressure campaigns run by state sponsored NGO money are just the privatized surveillance and secret police state hard at work.

The deep issue is that US politicians and citizens are abandoning "rule of law" expectations in domestic politics. These free speech issues are the visible manifestation of a shift in the structure of power in US politics to an unapologetic administrative uni-party, accelerating in real time. Arguing the ludicrous details of this Kiwifarms blocking is rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.

if you are going to "get real" about Imperialist administration, I think you have to give a bit of credit to concepts of Crown Law versus the bloodbath/disease fest of South America. Are both British world imperialism and South American conquest unacceptable in today's world without question? yes .. are today's capital markets an attempt at recreating the best of these trading empires without the negatives, probably yes. Was there a difference in how these trading empires were conducted, versus raw pillaging under Roman Catholic blessing? yes
Not to be really dumb about this (I don't have a heat pump, don't know exactly how they work, but have some interest in getting one) -- is it not possible to shut them off entirely for the fall? Are they hard to restart or something? Is it like the obnoxious car systems that always want to be giving you either heat or cool and just refuse to do nothing when it's nice out?

Agree. Specifically generally speaking it’s an untrustworthy system and practical might be malicious via the file, usb-firmware, might be connected to high voltage line, etc.

Do think though as a social experiment they’re fun as long as you’re only using throwaway systems/devices.

Beyond that, personally would not suggest damaging property, but instead affixing USB to padlock like this:

You're right, and everyone should definitely go right to the primary source when evaluating null and this situation.

I know some will say that is too much work for some internet drama, and while that's a valid opinion, any further opinion on the issue itself by those people would be entirely invalid due to lack of proper research.
It's for our own good within a flawed system. I believe America should have more nuclear power. Politicians need pressure for this, especially where I am in California. Pressure on the electrical grid is political pressure. If that translates to action, it's the long term greater good.

Its horrible for Apple/Google to have this much power - I agree 100%. I don't know a solution. Its likely this was an algorithm gone crazy and not malicious.

The removal of ddos protection all the while smiling cause you know what will happen right after it gets removed is 100% malicious. And we, the tech community, appear completely ok with it.

You have to admit it feels hypocritic.
I think its very spread out at least in Europe in my experience. Hell even my own brother is envious on my salary because he got a engineering degree (vs my IT degree), so "by right" he should have a higher salary than me. Aside from the fact that he's employed by the local government to move paper from a desk to desk or rubber stamp documents.
My parents also think the same as being civil engineers themselves. Paraphrasing: doctors, lawyers and engineers should have the highest salaries whatever job they do, everyone else should just fight over leftovers.

But right now, that helpless baby man should be working on saving the planet?
