Even if you have overwhelming force there can still be casualties, especially if the local militia are slow to realize the fight is hopeless. Which can happen, especially if you take them by surprise. The locals will surely take casualties.

With zero casualties for the occupying force, this may still be a negative result. Now you've made enemies of the locals, and the word will spread. Assuming your goal is not to become an oppressor you may have hurt your cause by going gung-ho into the village, even if tactically you succeeded.
> Marathon running is quite hard on joints, with an increased incidence of osteoarthritis.

Most marathon runners are terrible athletes who have terrible training goals and usually stop running due to self-inflicted soft tissue injury. This isn't expensive to treat since normally it's only rest is required to heal from ITB-syndrome or even shin splints. So they're rarely able to turn it into a lifestyle. Those who are able to continue probably are at a higher risk of osteoarthritis. I still stand by these people just cost less to provide healthcare for in old age (and I don't think there's selection bias at play here).

> Pre-ACA, some folks found themselves shoved off into "high risk pools", which often made them functionally unable to access healthcare.

Like I completely agree with this, that it solves this problem.

I was more so trying to raise the moral point about socialised healthcare (and I mean socialised in that loose sense) demanding a sacrifice from those who do take care of themselves. People are willing to suspend notions of natural inequalities to a point because most people still feel they live in a society. But there is a limit to this where people feel their burden is so disproportionate that they seek to emancipate themselves from it. The bonds of society are only so strong.

It’s hilarious seeing people praise VB when at the time it was a running joke holding the same reluctant acceptance among devs as JS does today.
I had the advantage of doing this earlier, after the Iraq War. I was taking a cross country trip, obviously talked with a lot of people who were pro-war, and learned to just let it pass over me and accept where they were coming from.

The sharply insulting reactions you're getting are due to the hypocritical hysteria currently gripping the Republican Party. I don't think you will be successful at discussing philosophy at this time, especially online. The current energy is driven by hypocrisy and shallow thinking. The people that haven't been swept up by it are somewhere between being aghast where the party has gone, or sitting back and hoping for collapse.

My ultimate conclusion was that the pro war middle of the country is just driven by a different emphasis on issues and values, but still a core of ultimately wanting to be left alone (ie freedom). The Iraq War was not their issue, and the people on TV said to support it, so they did. Seeing this pattern also helped me critique my own bubble's politics for it.

Unfortunately, that "TV" has now turned into Facebook, where the message is not even curated by the US's power structure but rather whatever narratives play to people's biases. Narratives pushed by malevolent foreign power structures whether bona fide countries or just non-allegiant capital looking to loot. Still, I have to believe there is a core of conservatism that won't be swayed by the reactionary populism, and will eventually succeed at ousting the destructive elements from their party or at least leaving themselves. The alternative is collapse.
What other reply? You talk about refining. There's 10% lost in refining. X% lost in extraction and Y% lost in transmission (shipping, pipes, etc).

Solar => Grid => Car Battery is less than 10% lost usually. Obviously it can vary a lot - so can oil extraction, shipping and refining...

This means Solar => Grid => Car battery is >5x as efficient as Oil in ground => Pipes => Refinery => Pipes => Gas Station => Car.

Once the energy is in the car, we know the BEV is 5x more efficient.

We also know Solar => Car is SUBSTANTIALLY more efficient at transferring BTUs into the car than the gasoline infrastructure.

In reality, it's probably closer to 10x as efficient than 2x.
Ergo, be poor?
> the renewables we currently have will hit a ceiling. Every square meter of land with a solar panel on it is a spot that can't be agriculture, housing, forest, or wetland. There are only so many places you can put a windmill, and only so many rivers to dam.

Is this true? I have never seen this argument against renewables, is there any math? I can't imagine running out of space, with panels on roofs and windmills between fields.

They can be charged via solar panel, although I doubt it will keep up with demand so it’s more like extending the life.

You mention several days of autonomy, this could provide that if you show up with it fully charged.

HTTP POST was in common use well before 1996. It was standardized with HTTP 1.0 in 1996, but form POSTs were common well before then. People were developing "web apps" in the 90's using Perl CGIs, ASP pages (VB script), and even Javascript (Netscape's web server supported server side Javascript applications.)

> I was more so trying to raise the moral point about socialised healthcare (and I mean socialised in that loose sense) demanding a sacrifice from those who do take care of themselves.

Except the "socialized" healthcare systems of Europe have half our total per-capita healthcare costs; the US is and has been abberantly expensive for decades. It's hard to argue this point when we've got a whole bunch of counter-examples disproving the theory.
I read about this in the context of the Vietnam War. All sides -- the US included! -- wanted to cause casualties on the enemy that would require medical assistance. Some weapons were even designed to hurt the rescuers.
I, too, had to adjust the amount of powder. Roughly 1/2 of recommended dose goes onto tray, and an additional 1/5 directly into the washer for prewash cycle.

You are probably right. I didn't sleep well and I'm tired and the smarmy "one-weird-trick" vibe of the post I replied to just annoyed me . I will own the "not made effectively" indictment.
I love how you claim there is no line and then almost immediately afterwards establish that you do in fact have a line - that line being if a person is a conspiracy theorist or dangerous person. Unfortunately for your argument, Andrew Tate is both of those things.

You might also have forgotten about the inconvenient fact that Tate is facing credible accusations of human trafficking which he has so far narrowly avoided facing due to being based in Romania.
I think this misses the point of the article. Yes, the world has had, and will always have, rich and poor. But to raise the poor up, what you fundamentally need is more energy.

I think this article also does a good job in emphasizing country-level poverty is what's really important to think about. That is, in the US, since we already have the infrastructure of a rich country, even poor people can afford safe food and refrigeration (but even then it's not evenly distributed, e.g. much has been written about "food deserts" in the US).

But, in say, Nigeria, they are so undersupplied with refrigeration trucks that making it possible for the poor to get reliable access to safe food would take a massive investment, which would mean a lot more energy.
Okay, perhaps I should have asked "How many lives do you think would be saved this century compared to the default scenario where an extra 10% of the world aren't convinced to follow those rules?".

Every car - including Tesla - meets your definition of "fast car." The "most boring car in the world," the Toyota Camry, will blow the doors off supercars of 20 years ago, and is about as fast in a straight line than many so-called "fast" cars.

It also gets great mileage and helps protect kids in driveways and crosswalks, and sells rather well.

I agree that following environmental intuitions is self-defeating, but so is chasing red herrings. And this is exactly why I'm trying to build something that will allow us all to make these analysis on primary sources, not secondary ones like the OP.

Climate is an emergency, but if we go chasing the wrong "solutions" based on bad data or incomplete data, or take the base of the ecosystem out from under us in the process, then we won't resolve the emergency or we'll end up in a worse place.

There are some things we know - transportation, housing, urban design, energy, many aspects of industrial manufuaction and waste disposal. These are still complex, but have much clearer cost benefit analysis. We know what the answers are there. Some of them involve individual action (like I laid out below) others are going to require collective action.

Agriculture is a mess with a pitched propaganda war taking place around it. I've spent a decade trying to sort out what is true, and I'm still no closer to feeling like I can say with certainty what the most ecological diet is. But I know that anyone who can say it with certainty has not done complete research.
That time period in Britain didn't just see big advancements in industrialization, but in engineering, medicine, finance, and legal systems. You have to see the difference between individuals and the the society itself.

Thankfully, I don't really give a crap about your opinion of me, but thanks for the info.

I am not calling for declining standards of living, or saying that, fuck it, let poor people be poor. I'm the first person to push for more nuclear power plants, more renewables. Simply reminding people that the whole technobabble bullshit about how new things are going to save us is wrong. We're not going to save ourselves. We're going to raise our standards of living, and kill ourselves in the process. Good luck with your human nature.
Cheers! Would love to chat!
I think you misinterpret the words. Equivocal means that it's unclear from the study if there's a causal association while negative means no association was found, not that EMF reduced incidence of gliomas.

Also, an important quote in the description following that table:

mobile phones, which is also the most extensively investigated exposure source, and in some cases the
onset of tumours was related to the side on which the device was handled."

Going with the joke is kinda Dodge's schtick these days. Sets them apart.
Some of the arguments seem misplaced via bad assumptions. This is exactly the approach that will alienate trad thinkers who need to be convinced in order for any effective action to be taken. Here are the issues I had:

- Highly processed food, including fake meat, could be extremely bad for you. The point is we just don't know yet as there isn't good data.

- Dense cities have the potential to be inhumane and not worth living in for various health (e.g. particulates, aerosols, nitrogen, disease) and social (digital-gov tight controls over movement, work, and access to resources) reasons. Just look at covid era China. Large groups of people displaced into under resourced cities ends badly.

-Nuclear is great until you get something like Ukraine where its used as a stick against the rest of Europe. Thyroid cancer rates in western europe would spike as a result of a critical incident. Or ofc Fukashima and Chernobyl. I'm totally pro nuclear but not mentioning its failures is a bad take and I don't believe the figures about nuclear related deaths.

In sports, there is an expectation of fair competition which is violated when someone is using any kind assistance, one type of which are performance enhancing drugs.

In military, on the other hand, there is no expectation of a fair competition, and exploiting any unfair advantage over the opponent is actively desired. There a genuine need to get things done, and the only concern is the impact on health - militaries have historically used all kinds of performance enhancing drugs, e.g. amphetamines as 'go pills' for USA Cold war pilots, Pervitin in WW2, etc.

Yes it's really me -- I don't often comment on hacker news, but it was just funny to come across my own video here.
I don't know if I would say it's 100% on the trucks (the honeybees didn't ask to be driven everywhere, after all), but the honeybees do disrupt the native ecosystems when they get to their targets; call it a 90-10 or a 95-5 split of culpability perhaps. Smaller scale hive operations that produce honey in one location probably don't have the same outsized impact on so many locations as these truck operations do.
Solar => Car battery you only lose about 10% of energy.

You lose more than that in refining oil to gasoline. And a lot more when factoring in extraction + transportation + point of sale.

Closing the loop makes solar => car even more efficient, not less.

Sure, if we want to be dumb and extract oil to power inefficient turbines to generate electricity this becomes a talking point. But not many people are building new oil power plants for a reason...
This seems standard and entirely predictable progression of events, given that everything depended on proprietary, centrally controlled software and enormous pile of contracts?

Or a calibration mode where you roll the car down a small hill for a couple of revolutions.

Either way still sounds easier than replacing the engine on a new car where you have to do some software module stuff to get the engine talking to the cars computer.
Some cheap type-C devices lack some pull-up resistor to convince newer PD chargers (with type C output) to enable. So those devices only work on type-A output chargers.
Okay, so in a car with vacuum assist, you have full braking power for several applications of the brake. Once the vacuum in the servo is exhausted, the brakes still work but will need a much harder press on the pedal. If the brakes become hard to use the second the engine is off, your brakes are fucked and you need to get the servo and master cylinder replaced.

Many really modern cars have gone back to the old WABCO-style electric pump that will pressurise the braking system as long as there's power in the battery, because that whole thing plays more nicely with hybrid drivetrains.

Electric motors draw more current when starting up and when delivering high torque. It's conceivable that with a transmission, maximum current draw could be lowered, perhaps leading to longer-lived batteries or lower demand for battery cooling, smaller gauge wiring, smaller motors, or other cost savings. Don't know for sure on any of this, but it seems plausible. On the other hand, if it really made a difference, why aren't the EV makers already doing it?

Show HN: Clades – an organic approach to social media
Bottom Line: Clades is a very early stage reddit-like platform that aims to tackle the bot problem without algorithms or an army of mods. Basically, every user is an invite of another user and those invites accrue over time making it very difficult to build up a malicious presence while simultaneously making it very easy to prune entire branches of users and content. Right now, users have to wait a week before inviting another user and they can only store a maximum of 10 invites at any time. For the next 2 days, I'm opening up registration so Hackernews users can test it out if anyone wants to. It's very much in a beta stage so data will likely be wiped before an official release. Go Crazy

Clades started as a pandemic project that sat on the backburner for a long time before I realized that there may interest for it and I started polishing it up. The idea behind it is to foster the growth of small, niche communities either centered around where you live or things you're interested in. The goal is not to become the next big platform but rather to provide a quiet place where a community doesn't have to worry about brigading, drive by vandalism, or the ever present bot menace. Clades is designed to not store sensitive information like emails and tries to have a minimal data footprint while still supporting passwordless logins...if the database were compromised, no personal information could be retrieved besides usernames.

I'm just a single hobby dev with a full time non-software job and I haven't really launched anything successfully yet so this is all new to me. Feedback is much appreciated.
