> This sounds like an experiment that actually worked.

Are you sure? We haven’t even seen the chip in any physical form yet. We haven’t seen it running any code.
Not sure if this is mean ironically, but I honestly don't see what's wrong with it either. Highlighting the consumption choices of the very wealthy mostly come off as lazy outrage bait to me. If society decided their wealth was gained in some illicit way, that surely is the issue to be addressed, not wether they spend it on flights, yachts or mansions.
And if I moved to a Fahrenheit country I wouldn't know what to wear when it's 60 degrees. That's the point, that both scales need some "getting used to". Fahrenheit is no more natural than Celsius in that regard, and also has the issue of not having reference points.
Fahrenheit (the man) was himself a physicist... he invented the mercury thermometer. That's pretty scientific.

So calling it "Frankenstein and Science" is a little silly, especially when we have an absolute scientific scale (Kelvin).

Actually, nobody complains that we use both Celsius and Kelvin, so what problem is there with a third scale for people, if the former two are for industry and science respectively?
I'm fine with accommodating religious observance as long as it's part of a culture of more generally recognising needs due to individual circumstances. As with the example given, companies should be willing to make exceptions or accommodating compromises with employees with particular child care or visiting needs. I don't think that would have been a problem at any of the companies I've worked for in my whole career.

If you think you feel the need to game the system, the real problem is with the system. The reason we respect religious beliefs should be because we respect people.
Maybe finally THIS will force regulation of parking so people will simply have no way of leaving their car in a random place like that. Japanese way of doing it - "if you don't have a permanent, legally fixed place to park your car, you can't buy a car" - is just right.

We have too many cars filling in sidewalks, narrow city roads reducing them to single-lane, and so on. That's a problem in itself, and while it was only about people's convenience, harsh measures were hard to justify - but now we can frame it as "it's either that or Putin is coming for you" - and it becomes easier.

Change location based pay to gender/race/religion/veteran/disability/etc* and half of the comments talking about market dynamics will have a very different ring to it. The change will be slow if it happens at all, after all many paychecks and bottom lines depend on not acknowledging the situation. The best you can do is probably raise awareness in the meantime and not feel shame about being demotivated.

I am pretty sure in modern days most people have easier access to 1L of water or 1kg of flour than a fist sized rock.
There are very few imperial holdovers left in the UK, outside of colloquial use.

Distance on road signs, car speed, engine fuel efficiency, beer pints (though I don't mind this since it means our average drink is larger, easier to say than 568ml as well), and that's it as far as I can recall
In markets with significant EV adoption there's usually either section control on highways or a competent traffic police force.

Also manufacturers are moving away from providing 200km/h+ capable cars. Volvo is pioneering this citing safety concerns.
I really enjoyed the book, actually all of William Gibson's work from that era. I didn't think that the movie was great but reading this interview, it really does seem like the things I didn't like about it were the result of studio interference. So I look forward to finding this new version on a platform I have access to.
> more natural for people to grasp

You added sarcasm flag but sometimes it is more natural. I grew up with metric but can visualize "about an inch" better than "about 2.5cm".

It's common for "metric people" to sometimes use inches and feet in casual reference to certain types of measurements. "She is almost 6 feet tall" is another example that will be used instead of "180 cm" or "1.8 metres".
It doesn't help with BT that you often have to figure out how to log into the webmail interface (often outlook/Hotmail) and only then do you seen the spam folder. If you don't do this and currate the spam folder it all get steadily worse... And you never see why if you are using an email program set up years ago on your PC.
And I've seen many rocks with different densities. Also making it a really bad idea to use as a reference.

Of course pre-metric units were defined by something convenient. A cubit is the length of the forearm.

I don't think Taleb goes into the why.

Metric is clearly superior if you have the social concept that units should be standardized and (as a corralary) that products are commoditized. The idea of a standard commodity, however, didn't really exist before the industrial revolution.

So why would units be standardized before that? The only place units mattered was taxes, and then the unit was whatever the king said it was.
Toronto climate, average low, January: −6.7 °C (19.9 °F)

And you have just lost a bunch of money! Assuming your router uses about 10 watts, that's 86kWh per router, per year. 30m routers makes this 2 580 000 000 kWh. At a current, extremely awful 116g CO2/kWh in France, that's 299 280 tonnes of CO2 per year. A single private jet is 2 tons of CO2 per hour, so your 270 private jets only need to fly 554 hours per year to be just as bad. The current average is 448 hours per year. So, yeah, private jets currently emit 80% as much CO2 per year as 30m routers running 24/7. Unless you recommend we only use wifi for 3 hours a day, getting rid of these private jets will be more productive.

Additionally, those routers actually serve a use, unlike private jets. Between universal access to the Internet to millions, and a few thousands doing lines of cocaine at 30000 feet to go to their villa in Corsica, I think I know which one is more useful.

And finally, it's a matter of perceived justice. And believe me, being told to turn off your wifi while a rich dickwad can fly to Acapulco for three hours tends to make people slightly angry, not willing to make sacrifices and with a tendency to commit extremely unlawful acts against such jets.
Indeed but I double care as well :)
> at some point the claims will be found out and the funding will dry up.

Someone hasn't been watching the cryptocurrency markets.

That's partly tongue in cheek. But there are countless examples of the market remaining irrational longer than one can stay solvent.

Witness the continued success of BTC and Ether, amid newer options that outperform them on every tech-related metric, often by many orders of magnitude. I conclude that marketing hype and the first mover advantage form the vast bulk of valuation in a novel tech that people don't understand.

This is not to take away from the author's point at all - I would hope that anyone who invests in quantum computing reads the criticism from an insider who can actually read the papers.

However, as irrational and harmful as it is, I don't expect BTC to drop to zero before the day quantum computing actually does follow through. Rationality really isn't our thing.
How did you get reverse-DNS? When I tried self-hosting, that was a problem for me.
The GP isn't "anonymous", he's a relatively well known field grade officer in the British military who has posted about his experiences publicly before.
No one where I live and use metric system even have clue what is the feet and inches mess... Like five foot what? Why not do it properly and say five point something feet like sane systems.
Just to add another data point for Belgium: my estimated price in November will be 0.74 euro/kWh. This is almost a tripling from my current rate, and the company can't offer a fixed price anymore.

And this is still below the estimated market price of 0.89 euro/kWh, because I'm buying my power from a co-operative that attempts to cover most consumption of its customers with its own wind/solar production.
No. A single day from one of LVMH's private jets is equivalent to the yearly CO2 emissions of 1500 people. Nothing, absolutely nothing justifies this. There is no reasonable world where this should be acceptable, much less one where we are in a climate crisis.
I have a Cricket bell, which can be rung normally, and can also be clicked down to act as a cowbell, gently ringing as i ride along (especially if i give the handlebar a quick wobble):

It makes no difference. Either people are walking in a group and talking, so they don't hear it, or they have earphones in, so they don't hear it.
> In Fahrenheit: 0: very cold to people; 100: very hot to people.

> In Celsius: 0: not that cold; 100: I died 50 degrees ago.

Celsius 0 and below, warning there could be ice on the road.

Hot/cold is too subjective. My relation to heat/cold was not the same when I was living in north of France, Swiss alps and now in south of Spain.
The metric system is based mostly on water. 1 kg = 1 litre = 1000 cm3
It's only free of charge if you ignore the high cost of the private jets, fancy hotels, table and bottle service at fancy clubs which alone is 2k Euros.

Suddenly 200gbp/hour is a real steal. But it's not about the money, it's about the feeling of power when people throw themselves at you.
I never used it but GNU poke http://www.jemarch.net/poke seems like what you're looking for.
Having done that, you could then write a paper on your findings. You would then be an expert! You could then rerun the experiment using your paper as the story in order to validate your initial findings…
Water piping is still specified in inches, at least in Italy.

Also in Italy, when dealing with agricolture, forestry, and related services, non-SI surface units are still commonly used, at leat in the north:

I had same problem with deliverability of emails to Hotmail accounts a few years ago, they blocked AWS SNS IP email servers so sometimes were received but most of them directly sent to SPAM or never received. We complained Microsoft and their solution was to use one of their cloud email service or partner because the "black magic" of their AI filter. This is a shame
Height is nearly always feet and inches.
The overwhelming majority of my legitimate mail has seen consistent and irrecoverable 14 day blocks for the last decade+. One on an IP that only did my email for over 6 years. Yet the oligopoly started to block blocks of IPs, including my IP, without recourse.

If you say this problem doesn't exist, you are either not familiar with the problem, misunderstanding it, or simply lying. I hope it is just miscommunication.

Like many here, I gave up self hosting email. To the point that I buy an SMTP service from one of the oligopoly. The incoming mail is handled fine by my server still.
Is that the same Ryan Cohen from GME?
The calorie is also kind of metric: the energy needed to heat 1 gram of water by 1 degree Celsius.

The kcal (kilocalorie) is what most people mean when they refer to calories in food, and that's just the energy needed to heat 1 kg of water by 1 deg C.

Since a person is mostly water this means that, say if you weigh 100 kg, and eat 1000 kcal of food, that food contains (theoretically) enough energy to heat your body mass by 10 deg C. The units do give a kind of intuitive understanding of the energy in food, while also being based on metric quantities.
In the West, discrimination against Christians is practically nonexistent. What does exist is opposition against hate speech and promotion of harmful behaviors, and many fundamentalists claim they should get free pass because of their religion.

What does still often happen in the West is enforcing certain dogmas by law - from Catholic ideas on sexuality to abortion bans. Which shows not only there’s no discrimination against Christians, but the exact opposite is true - Christians are the privileged minority that discriminates everyone else.
Emphasis on the "trying" here, you are not forced.

It's also not just them, it's the vast majority of the internet community that agrees with that.
For people serious about their tea, measuring 70, 80 or 90 Celsius is vital.
> I see a totally fair comment below this has been flagged

Which comment is that? I tried but couldn't find it.

> Same as the thread on 'decline of nude sunbathing' where my comment

If you mean https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32672721, users flagged that comment—correctly, because it broke the rules of the site: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. We're trying to have a particular type of internet forum here—one oriented around intellectual curiosity, not snarky flamewar or ideological battle. Since the latter end-states are what the internet seems to default to, it takes energy and work to try to avoid them. We do what we can as mods, but above all we need commenters to participate in the intended spirit.

Direct lived experience is certainly compatible with curiosity, and therefore highly welcome here. It needs to come without snarky attacks, ideological talking points and the like, because those things destroy curiosity and set a thread into flamewar mode. They're also the opposite of direct lived experience.

> Someone please give me the wink wink defactos here, is the hackernews enforced narrative the same as

I can give you the defactos wink-free! The answer is definitely not, and there is no enforced narrative. What we want is a space where people have respectful, curious conversation across differences, and above all learn from each other. Trying to enforce any one narrative would destroy that possibility, so we need multiple narratives, multiple voices, multiple views. The trick is to have them without bursting into flames. On divisive topics, that is not so easy.
The rich will flee to Hawaii and NZ, etc. meanwhile we suffer the consequences of their decisions with electricity and natural gas shortages, hyper-inflation and rising interest rates.

The government should bring in capital controls and seize their accounts and capital. Let them try to survive when they can't leech off the working class.
My point is that everyone saying "Celsius is so easy, look at how logical it is!" are missing the point that you still have to memorize a bunch of temperatures. Nobody in their right mind is going to say "Well, it's 20% of the way between water freezing and boiling, so I'll wear long sleeves but no jacket today".
anomas01010
And USA is only 4% of the world population... ;)
Then again 17 is pretty close to temperature you are entirely unsure if you use jacket or not. On other hand it is pretty pleasant summer temperature. On other if it is windy it might not be so nice.
The link to part 3 from part 2 is broken (but the one in ToC works).

It doesn't mention reverse DNS (PTR for *.in-addr.arpa) records. Though not strictly necessary, but doesn't harm to have those set, and the author's mail server has those set.

Looks nice overall. The notable differences from how I set those are the lack of postscreen (including its greylisting), of a dedicated submission port, of SRV DNS records (_submission._tcp, _imap._tcp, _imaps._tcp), but presence/use of virtual hosts and users, and of OpenDMARC. Maybe I should try using the latter, though not sure how useful it is (whether it's worth the slight complication of the overall setup), when set on a small/low-traffic mail server.
/u/sgjohnson said metric is used in "in all industries where it matters". Have you maybe considered that "the length of their car, size of their kitchen or weight of a brick" are all examples of where it _doesn't_ matter?
I first heard this phrase applied to Haskell. Both Haskell and Rust have sophisticated type systems, Haskell more-so than Rust. With a sophisticated type system, you can accurately encode the rules of your domain in the types and thus, when the program compiles you can be confident it will do the right thing.

Having written a fair amount in both languages as well as many others I find this to hold true. The phrase isn't, primarily anyway, about Rust's memory safety guarantees in my mind.
In the end it is Microsoft's problem, since they are the ones that are losing valid SMTP traffic. If a sufficient amount of users are experiencing a loss of e-mail as a result, then they will be forced to fix it.

There is almost never any valid reason to block an entire ip address. Single user accounts (e-mail addresses), maybe, if compromised.

E-mail, as a standard, is still pretty straight forward. Ideally you should be able to send e-mail directly from your laptop IP, if approved to send e-mail on behalf of your e-mail account / host name. Decentralization is important.
And 1 Joule is one Newton-metre (i.e. it takes 1 J to pull with a force of 1 N over a distance 1 m).
Any guess on why people's experiences with spam are so diverse? I self-host and get fewer than 10 true spam emails per year (not counting marketing newsletters).
>I've found that self-describing as 'not religious' gets a warmer reception, even though it's the same thing.

I think that's because identifying as an atheist implies (i.e. statistically goes with) intolerable preaching and better-than-thou antagonistic attitude, where identifying as non-religious mostly implies "I don't care for this religion shit".

Similar to identifying as a vegan vs simply not eating meat and animal products.
In the article it says Napoli, Amsterdam, and Berlin have shown the greatest increase in popularity. Paris and Ibeza are 12th and 18th, respectively. Not sure why these destinations were chosen for the title of the article.

I'm generally not in favor of violence but it's probably worthwhile for the very rich to remember that it's an option when they get more "win more" mechanics and successfully block the "catch up" mechanics in society. These apparent 'victories' for the rich prevent the gradual release of "pressure" and sets up the system to explosively pop.

The "I deserve this" ideology is a great danger to the super-wealthy because it blinds them to the more profound truth: unbalanced games are not fun and ultimately fail. Arguing against game balance because you've used (maybe even discovered) degenerate strats to acquire a huge resource lead is immature and short-sighted because if the game itself fails none of those resources will have any value.

I started a new job April 2021 and haven’t felt a lack of social connection. In fact, I feel like I have built better social connections faster working remotely. I am a software developer and honestly find it easier to communicate and build relationships over group or direct messages, and I believe a lot of developers are similar - it’s just the nature of us.

We have weekly catch up meetings over video chat, as well as other meetings which also helps and generally everyone has their camera on which helps.

These connections I have built over Slack and MS Teams have directly translated into real life, and when we do meet up for company parties or whatever, it’s as if I’ve always been there and the social connection remains.
Isn’t that just a Demi god? Sounds like a demotion in status… although I’m not against it.
At senior school in the early 2000s, I was taught both metric and imperial and how to convert between them. But I have some friends who are 10 years younger than me (I'm 32, they're 22) who were never taught imperial at school. Neither knew what a 'yard' was.. probably because neither of them drive. At least things are changing!
You can't have a Spanish job. My wife and I both have remote jobs in the U.S. This is a highly debated topic in expat forums. Some people argue until they're blue in the face that you can't work at all on a NLV but we consulted many Spanish attorneys before applying and they all agreed that you can have remote income. We just didn't mention it on any of our application paperwork.

Yes, you do have to pay Spanish income and wealth taxes (though the wealth tax varies greatly depending on where you live in Spain, for example it's zero in Madrid). However, you don't get 'double-taxed' on income. You only have to pay either U.S. or Spanish income taxes, whichever is higher (almost always Spanish).

I am telling everyone who asks me, which is a lot right now as you mention, to wait for a bit if they can because Spain is 'any time now' supposed to be approving a digital nomad visa will will make the process MUCH more simple for people who are working remotely. The details haven't all be ironed out yet but:

Healthcare here really is wild. Our first month here my wife got extreme food poisoning and had to take an ambulance to the ER. The ambulance took her to the public hospital because it was much closer to our house compared to the hospital of our private insurer. She spent a few hours in the ER, including the ambulance ride, it cost €138 out of pocket (since we aren't on the public system). And, get this, our private insurance company reimbursed us for the cost. It's a completely different world.
