I'd like to take a stab at this. Barring certain pitiable neurodivergent conditions, folks consider themselves to be intelligent and highly moral creatures. The primary goal of ideological shit-flinging contests appears to be revealing one's opponent as an amoral imbecile, as a means of both propping up one's own self-image, and virtue signaling to larger audiences. When a true authority joins the chat and nukes everyone's Dunning-Kruger fueled reductionist positions with a comprehensive and highly nuanced grasp of the topic at hand, all of the amateurs at the table are presented with details that undermine their simplistic take on the issue in question. This undermines their own credibility, introduces massive cognitive dissonance, and disrupts their ability to continue to paint their chosen adversaries as dangerous incompetents based solely on the merits of their arguemts. In other words everyone is wrong, and they hate it because ego.

Everyone says they want free speech. But deep down they don't. Some don't want gay marriage written in books, and some don't want anti-vaxxers to post misinformation. Those are 2 sides of the same coin.

Freedom of speech is a critical cornerstone of liberal government. The fact that so many sides want to reduce this right is what is scary.

> typical electric-car battery requires 130 pounds

Are these batteries recyclable in perpetuity or does lithium degrade?
It might seem that way today, but scaling up the EV adoption looks very different to scaling up fossil fuel consumption. It won’t be long before demand for battery minerals is mostly satisfied by recycling — and the need for ongoing mining of virgin material is mostly eliminated.

Furthermore, lithium is an extremely abundant mineral. It's available pretty much everywhere, including the deserts of Nevada and Australia. The idea that we have to destroy rare ecosystems to get it is ridiculous.

It's been a long while since I used it heavily, but there's Mopidy. It has plugins for quite a wide range of services. Mopidy itself is headless but has a lot of options of webapps & apps to control it.

By this token, we should never see fission and fusion startups. Yet NuScale is quite successful. They are now a publicly listed company (ticker SMR) with a market cap of more than half a billion dollars. Not quite a unicorn yet, but then they did not ship any reactor either. Once they do, their market cap will shoot up. Helion is the startup that Sam Altman is so happy to talk about (e.g. [1]). Maybe it will not succeed. Scratch that, most likely it will not succeed. But if it has a 1% chance to succeed, then Sam will see his investment go up by a factor of 10000, so in expected value it is a winner.

Boom is just the same. The chance it will fail is about 90%. But if it does succeed, it will return much, much more than 10x to their early investors.

It would be very difficult to dispel the notion of prestige, because most output measures are highly influenced by input measures. Prestige inevitably flows into the measures.

E.g. an academic at a prestigious university has a healthy supply of able PhD students, post-docs, a "research environment" that will make applying for grants that bit easier, etc. Their publication and citation numbers will quickly diverge from their identical twin who has is less well resourced. Likewise, the PhD students at a prestigious university are more likely to be attached to well-funded grants, collaborators who have well-tuned paper mills, etc.

Academia is quite a social game. Network effects (which are one part of prestige) are a strong influence.

The California law does not mandate moderation either or provide"compliant reports." It simply requires companies to explain how they moderate and provide statistics on how much they did.

Big fan of Pixelmator Pro!

And way faster than Photoshop on Mac OS. I use it for composite imagery and general photo editing mostly.

Walkable cities are already a reality in many countries in Europe. It's not rocket science and it doesn't mean you need high density. See Denmark, Netherlands etc for a few examples. Humane cities are a matter of choice, just because it doesn't exist in the US doesn't mean it's impossible.

To be fair, requiring a Google Account alone isn't lock-in; lock-in would be if the OS forces you to use Google cloud services for a bunch of essential tasks, which could then make it hard to migrate to another platform.

I'll admit that I don't know for a fact that it does require this, but I just kinda assumed it might. IIRC you can run Android apps on ChromeOS, and if you buy apps from the Play store, then you're stuck with ChromeOS if you want to continue to run them. Otherwise you lose that money you paid.
Trains are always good for comedy relief, or so I learned from Silver Streak.

The problem with plasma containment is generally not holding pressure. The real problem is that plasmas which are hot enough to fuse have a really, really high thermal transfer coefficient. This means that if they touch anything, they want to give away all their heat to whatever they are touching. It is possible to do things quickly enough to have fusion happen before the heat leaks away (this is how inertial confinement fusion works), but that speed is way beyond train speeds.

Quickly moving magnetic fields do cause high voltages, which can be used to concentrate charges. Most metals are not fusion fuels, so I'm guessing this wire would be made of lithium.

The real problem with this idea is the part where the ions bunch up in the corner of the diamond crystal. What exactly is making them bunch up? The diamond? Realize that CVD works in reverse as well, and diamond is bound together with 3.7 eV bonds and we need a plasma of at least 15000 eV. Any plasma which is hot and dense enough to fuse is going to either be chilled too much by touching the diamond or go through it like a hot knife through butter.

Ask HN: Any SEO article checker tool to recommend?
Hi there,

I've been doing some blog posts for jobboardsearch.com and would be handy a SEO checker tool, like:

- Teat metas
- Test H tags
- Teat content based on keyword
- Teat density
- etc. etc.

I've googled and found a few but nothing that I liked thus the question.

Can you suggest an article SEO check tool?

Thanks :)
My agency prefers to work on time and materials rather than fixed bid contracts, though we have also tried some fixed bid projects. They both have pros and cons. The advantage of time and materials is you always get paid in full for your exact time used; on a fixed bid if something ends up being unexpectedly difficult, we have to eat some unpaid hours to make up for it. Therefore on a fixed bid clients actually almost alway end up paying significantly more in total, since we have to pad our estimate with a higher cost and have a decent buffer or "insurance" that we will be able to complete it within our estimated timeline.

When paying for the exact time and materials you get exactly what you paid for in equivalent work hours and their output. It's a more flexible arrangement where if the client has new or evolving requirements we can pick them up without having to re-negotiate the whole contract. I remember at least one fixed bid contract where we ended up working nearly six weeks extra and the agency had to eat that cost so we made nothing in profit, but at least fulfilled the contract.

I try to pad my estimates appropriately either way so we are usually on the under side of our quoted estimate for a given project with some wiggle room. Clients always appreciate when the work ends up being a bit cheaper than the quoted estimate. On the other hand, if we don't complete something the client does end up having to pay more (or source elsewhere, but almost always they prefer to keep us on if we've been doing good work for them).

> Just like today if I put up a website, and a person from the EU visits it, I as a US Citizen with no business interests in the EU have no obligation to follow GDPR or put up cookie notices or any other EU Laws

You'd possibly have an obligation under GDPR, but you are free to ignore that and face the consequences. Same with laws passed in other states. You're free to ignore them so long as you're fine with what ignoring them will cost you. If you enjoy being able to conduct business in and travel to places outside of your state it's probably a good idea not to violate the laws of those places.
I have one of these for a much smaller card, mostly so that cold airflow from the floor intake fans actually has a path to get up to the RAM and VRMs. This is a workaround for a case that doesn't have front intake, which is preferable in my opinion.

It does look a little cool, but I always worry a little about the reliability of the cable itself. Does it REALLY meet the signal integrity specifications for PCI-E? Probably not. But, no unexplained crashes or glitches so far and this build is over 2 years old.
It was relatively common in school to discuss what happened over breaks, weekends, etc. to build conversation skills. Also, almost every k12 teacher I had would prepare a slideshow about themselves to present on the first day of class along with the syllabus. After all, you're spending a lot of time in that classroom as a k12 student.

Many teachers also have pictures of their family on their desks, as one might in their office at any other job.

Especially in lower grades, teachers are not robots that exclusively teach content from bell to bell each day.
To be technically accurate, to my knowledge it's impossible to enter Japan from any country without a visa. However, if you come from certain countries (basically any western country, plus various others), they will automatically give you a 90-day tourist visa when you land, so it's effectively "visa free". Otherwise, you have to apply for a visa and get that in your passport before you arrive.
Hahaha true, and that's really not even a terrible idea to give 24 hours.

We definitely ended things on a good note with Hegarty & Educake. They were really friendly to us and also super helpful to be honest, good team over there.

Yeah, MIT versus SUNY essentially. I got A-Bish grade average but did well enough on the SAT to get a scholarship to a SUNY and said F it to the prestigious schools. Happily in less debt now. Didn't make a difference (well, retrospectively, perhaps in a different timeline, I'm a well-respected researcher with a PHD.)
Markets are a function of the political regimes within which they operate. They depend on the existence of money, freedom of movement, reasonable taxation, and private property—and a certain level of protection from theft and violence—all of which are features a well-functioning state.

Often markets also depend on standardization and regulation that can only be enforced by governments.

If the markets that exist today fail to take into consideration the true societal costs of their operation—if there is no accounting for future costs—that is not a failure of markets in general, but of the current political regime.
This is very useful to say!

I travel a lot, other people often act like "its an efficient market" with the prices of things (groceries, consumer electronics, rent) when currencies are changing fast, but from my experience there is usually a 6-12 month delay in prices of a region changing.
I think the current assumption that every electrical car needs to have 300+ mile range is going to eventually break and stop this false line of thinking.

In the future there will be a variety of cheaper EVs with shorter ranges which will both lower demand for battery resources while also achieving climate change goals.

Car batteries will also undoubtedly be critical parts of the electrical grid in 5-10 years, so they'll be doing double duty.

> There is an important and different question of how diverse and accessible academia is.

What I find troubling is the baggage of background assumptions that makes this sort of value judgement possible.

You have three professors, two white, one black. The two white professors, A and B, have diverging yet compelling views. The black professor C agrees with A. Which is better? Hiring A and B, or A and C? According to prevailing views of the value of diversity, the latter is preferable because of the racial diversity rule.

Excellent job painting a number of people with a broad brush without thinking through some of the actual reasons.

I know people with allergies for covid vaccine ingredients that were injected and suffered life threatening adverse events. Not an empathy problem but a severe medical allergy can be a killer.

There are a number of reasons why someone may not want, or need to get vaccinated, or have contraindications to these vaccines.

SevenEleven ATMs generally take foreign interac debit cards if you need cash (yen). Most places accept credit cards. When given the option on the debit card machine to pay in yen or convert to USD / CAD etc always choose yen, to avoid high conversion rates charged by the processor. Allow your credit card company to convert to your home currency at a much better rate. Get a Japan Rail pass. Pack lightly and hit a Uniqlo on arrival.

I used to have the exam nightmares, for years after graduation, but they were replaced by nightmares where I have a pen of livestock somewhere I've just totally forgotten to feed for like, a month.

For awhile after my daughter was born those were replaced by one where I had another infant I was supposed to be caring for that I had totally forgotten about, but thankfully, those didn't persist as she grew and my brain went back to the livestock version.
The thing is, even just a few non party affiliate votes in parliament can have a huge impact. Both parties could get more of a chance of their pet policies being implemented under a multi party system. That is, if you were to take the political parties at face value as caring about the issues they promote.

The reality is, the parties are systemically more interested in self preservation than governing. So neither seem to support serious reform.
I expect that the user experience and security are better on ChromeOS. But that depends on who you're trying to secure against. I'm not particularly worried about state-level actors or even garden-variety malware. But I am worried about surveillance capitalism, and that's what Google has built its business around. So I would not trust ChromeOS to be secure against Google.

(Having said that, I still haven't been able to completely wean myself off Google services, so Google already has plenty of data on me, and gathers more every day.)
I think the problem is the exact opposite. We would would much better off if we treated teachers as the community leaders they are

Yes, Lithium is roughly as abundant in earths crust as Lead. A normal car’s lead acid battery has ~9kg of Lead, while a 100kWh battery pack needs ~16kg of Lithium which currently costs around 1,100$.

It’s not that Lithium is actually going to be in short supply, it simply collects in different areas.
