The fans used to push or pull air through a carbon filter are typically pretty loud. Hard not to be when you are moving so much air. You can get quitter ones but they are expensive. If you are going the carbon filter/canfan route its most likely going to be loud. You can create a box around the fan with something like MDF to reduce the noise.

> So, if truth was said 2,000 years ago, it certainly can't apply today...interesting.

It's interesting you automatically assume it's "truth", not random opinions. And yes, we, collectively as humanity, have evolved since two millennia. E.g. we no longer consider slavery normal. So using opinions from 2000 years ago that were made in a drastically different environment simply doesn't make sense. It's like using laws from the 1920s and applying them to Internet stuff. It just doesn't make sense, the writers couldn't have imagined the world we have today, so why is their opinion relevant?

I guess the thing that's baffling me then is how they got there in the first place.
The agent is a friend so I had in my contact list for years.

We exchange listings to apartments to view so absolutely they know I'm looking at apartments and all that stuff.

Getting adverts for apartments is fine because I know I searched and browsed sites etc. The issue is for 2 weeks I looked at apartments. Got some adverts for AirBnb, other property sites, etc.

The particular apartment I looked at, I viewed it, walked around it, etc. Went home, pondered to myself about the apartments I had looked at that day...

Looked at facebook, etc...

Hours later I go to WhatsApp, message the agent, something like.

"I really like apartment X but the only issue is the windows don't have grills and its the 23rd floor, would you mind asking the landlord if we can get grills or window latches? If they are willing to do that then I think I'll take that apartment"

(give or take on the message as it was 3 years ago? That I took it...)

Agent had not read the message yet, infact he didn't read it until well after 6pm.

I go to facebook (2-3 minutes?) after messaging him, and I have adverts for grills and window latches.

I had not googled them, the only mention ever of grills or latches was a message on whatsapp a few minutes earlier...

---------------

Even if they are scanning the messages on the client, as far as I'm concerned it's no longer e2e. They are scanning my personal message, analysising it, building a profile on me, and using it for advertising.
I see what you're saying, and appreciate you sharing that perspective.

We could say that before conception, everyone agrees there is no child, and at birth, everyone agrees there is a child, so there is maybe a "spectrum" between "idea of a child" and "an actual he/she".

Your use of the wording "much more" sort of supports this "probability distribution function" idea of what a child is, and it seems like a helpful philosophical framing of this difficult and important question.

What I would say, though, is that if society is going to pick a point along that spectrum to base policy decisions on, then there is an imbalance between the risks of placing that point too early versus too late.

Too early means that some women's decisions will be unreasonably restricted, whereas too late means that some human being's lives will be unreasonably terminated.

The philosophically humble thing to do under such uncertainty would therefore be to err on the side of an earlier point, and in fact the earliest point possible, lest future generations look back on us like the slave owners or eugenicists of previous centuries.

Having substantial test coverage is a different concept from TDD (which is an approach to software development).

It's not clear how restriping an array is related to a test suite, also because if an API is slow to test (e.g. restriping), it's slow with either static or dynamic languages.

In general, if a certain API is impossible to automatedly test (this is a common case in both static and dynamic languages, for example, for web services), one stubs the API; with dynamic languages one will be certain that the tested codepaths until the API are correct. With this strategy, the difference with a static language is minimized (or not existing at all).
> we need strong regulation to reduce gun violence

With it already being illegal for certain criminals to own firearms, what regulation short of a total ban would help? This is where the "add more laws" logic fails. The thinking is that adding more laws will keep criminals hands off of guns. Criminals by definition ignore laws. Guns can be made via a 3d printer now. Ammunition used to be made (reloaded) by campfires. It's impossible in these days to keep guns out of the hands of those who shouldn't have them. If you have a CNC machine you can make your own AR-15.

Instead the solution is quite the opposite. More guns. You don't have to carry one yourself, just don't stop the rest of us. And by law if someone is carrying a concealed weapon near you and your life is in danger, they must protect it. We end up with peer to peer police. Nobody has a problem adding classroom work onto concealed carry permits to ensure carriers know the laws. Nobody has a problem with carriers also being required to qualify to ensure they can accurately shoot their weapon.

As far as school shootings, that solution is quite easy and technical. AI powered cameras in classrooms and hallways that alert if someone not in faculty or the student body steps on the grounds. Alert for gun shaped objects. Ballistic class on the interior and exterior windows with doors that partition the hallway when closed and locked to block in any assailants.

The guns rights group has many solutions to the problems, but the gun control group doesn't want them. Gun control groups have created a situation where it's easier for criminals to get guns and use them than it is for law abiding citizens.
Can't be that obvious considering every reply claims a different reason.
I don’t think that is a common carrier issue. I’m just saying the impact of bans from social media companies, often coordinated among several at once, are more impactful than other companies already listed as common carriers. It’s not like social media is created by these companies, every piece of content shown on the websites was user created and the users deserve protection from malicious and biased actors within the companies.

For the commentary on undefined behavior, I find N790 (https://www9.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n790.htm) to be a better assessment of what the C committee thinks about undefined behavior:

First consider the term "unspecified behavior". Most commentators on
the Standard are of the opinion that this has the following
properties:

(1) There are a number of possible courses of actions, or the behavior
is one that generates a result and then has a number of possible
results.

(2) The implementation can make any of the available choices, and can
make different choices at different places or times.

(3) The implementation need not document its choices.

(4) No matter what choice the implementation makes, it cannot affect
anything outside the range of that choice. If a value has to be
chosen, it must be a valid value for that type.

Property number 4 is the interesting one: it is usually taken to mean
that the implementation cannot generate a spurious signal, branch to
a random place in the code, or choose a trap representation. All of
these, of course, are valid "undefined behavior".

Show HN: Cross-region network routing of websockets with Fly.io's built-in proxy
Hi, I've recently had a chance to dig into using Fly.io's builtin proxy[^1] for cross-region network routing of HTTP calls and websockets.

This is especially useful if you're building collaborative experiences at the edge, such as a real-time chat, a multiplayer game, or a Figmadobe competitor (wink wink).

The demo works: https://fly-replay-header-demo.fly.dev/ -- the country flag visually confirms which instance you're connected to.

That being said, I made a couple fun mistakes along the way, so I figured I'd write up and share what I've learned. Suggestions for improvement are also welcome. Cheers!

You clearly don't remember television. A 30 minute TV slot had ~7 minutes of unskippable ads, and that's not including the product placement inside the shows. YouTube will have more like 1-2 minutes of skippable ads for a 20-30 minute show, plus an ad inside the show you can fast forward past.

I agree Google search barely works anymore though. I've currently switched to yandex which is still broken in other ways, and I've had bad luck with brave search and DDG results.
That explains "int", but it doesn't explain short or long or long long. Rust has "usize" for the "int" case, and then fixed sizes for everything else, which works much better. If you want portable software, it's usually more important to know how many bits you have available for your calculation than it is to know how efficiently that calculation will happen.
It's a complex issue. Comparisons to the early 20th century have issues - for example, California's human population was about five million then, and it's forty million now, and was twenty million in 1970. There's been deforestation, movement of people into the woods, some replacement of pines by oaks, etc.

Regardless, the five-fold increase in wildfires since 1970 in California are closely correlated with the amount of moisture in soil and vegetation in the summer, and fossil-fueled global warming is the culprit for that shift:

> "Most of the increase in burned area seen since 1972 has been because of an increase in summer forest fires, mostly in Northern California and the Sierras. That increase, in turn, can be almost entirely explained by a rise in aridity, which is caused by warming, and consistent with climate change models. Just a small amount of warming causes exponential increases in aridity, drying out fuels, so summer forest fires could get a lot worse with further warming if fuels remain abundant."

I have an Oransi air filter, they are extremely well made and are priced accordingly. I have two so during work(wfh) both me and my Wife can be working in clean air envs(in our offices) and at night we put them into our bedrooms so we are breathing clean air overnight. Fun fact they also work well to get strong cooking smells out of the house/kitchen. Cannot recommend them enough.

Do your numbers differentiate between intentional, planned burns vs natural fires (lightning, etc) or just lump them together to get "total acres burned?" My understanding is we used to do a lot more intentional burning.

To add concrete stats [1], solar is only 2.8% of overall US electricity generation in 2021. But if you look at the "billion kW per year" numbers since 2011, they are: 1.82, 4.33, 9.04, 17.69, 24.89, 36.05, 53.29, 63.83, 71.94, 89.20, 114.68. That's a ~10x growth in 10 years, ~25% growth for each of the last 2 years.

At a 15% annual growth rate, you double in 5 years. Throw in economies of scale, tailwinds of regulations and social norms and a 10% electricity generation by 2030 looks probable.

Exactly. Also to add it depends on your business model of how you are selling software. Some customers are perfectly fine with MVP and iteration. Others will want everything spelled out beforehand in a contract 3 inches thick. That many times depends on how you are selling your work and what the company you are selling to expects. One place I worked we always shipped MVP. Then would get customers to pay for any new features. New features could be cases 2 and 3 do not work correctly for the customer, however case 1 works just fine for the first customer but they never use 2 and 3. It can come down to how your companies budget works which will drive the business model you have. Now if you are shipping 'boxed' software that mentality could end your product. As instead of a reputation of 'works nicely with the customers' you are 'this junk software is broken out of the box'. It is one of the things I ask during an interview. I want to know what sort of shop it is 'how do you sell your software'. Each are viable methods to make money but some people do not like working that way. I am flexible but I would like to know up front.
> > Today, California has excess electricity during late mornings and early afternoons, thanks mainly to its solar capacity. If most EVs were to charge during these times, then the cheap power would be used instead of wasted.

> How are people going to charge their cars during commutes?

Come on, you're saying most commutes are "late morning and early afternoon"? I too would like a job where my commute in is at 11 and my commute home is at 2.

Rather than spreading EV FUD, can we instead discuss what the article is actually talking about, like installing charging infrastructure in daytime parking lots so we can take better advantage of the cheap, plentiful, and often curtailed solar energy?
Slippery slope fallacy. (You mentioned something about murder in another comment --- same story.)

Yes! It surprises me that the reliability issues in charging an EV are not discussed more. This bears more discussion and subject to regulations. It is not ok for companies to push EVs to general consumers without creating a good safety record.
> seeking out data from shady data brokers

Team Cymru is not a shady data broker. They're an internet security company that has been monitoring networks for a couple of decades, and providing the resulting information for free. If you've never used them, it's worth taking a look. It might not be up your street, but if you're even slightly into internet sleuthing, it's gold.
"Electric vehicles will contribute to emissions reductions in the United States, but their charging may challenge electricity grid operations. We present a data-driven, realistic model of charging demand that captures the diverse charging behaviours of future adopters in the US Western Interconnection. We study charging control and infrastructure build-out as critical factors shaping charging load and evaluate grid impact under rapid electric vehicle adoption with a detailed economic dispatch model of 2035 generation."

The opening lines of the actual study paper. Wanted to put that out into the mix before this turns into another Soleus Pushup debacle.

That said, I think University of Houston actually did a better job with their press release than Stanford did, both in clarity of explanation and in the quality of presentation. I'd like to hear some thoughts for/against though.

> Additionally, you are completely ignoring that nuclear plants need cooling - and the lack of said cooling water is what has been impacting France and Switzerland as well over the last weeks

No, it's restrictions on river temperature. https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/warming-rivers-threa...

Not to mention nuclear plants can be cooled by sea water or by waste water.

I don't think you appreciate the scale of energy storage. The world uses 2.5 TWh of electricity every hour. And electricity is less than half of total energy use. And as countries develop these figures are going to rise, not shrink.

If your solution involves shutting down industry because of insufficient energy production, then that's going to have a cascading effect of making good more expensive, and making products using those gooda more expensive. It may very well be that nuclear is cheaper than renewables when the cost of economic shutdowns due to insufficient energy are taken into account.
it's an operation that is not allowed in safe rust. big difference.
That would be the best part. Cover all that parking with solar panels, use those panels to partially or completely offset the charging demands of the cars parked under them. An average parking space has enough room for (napkin math...) 6kW of solar output. That's more than enough to offset a level 2 charger while the driver of that car is in the office.

And it leaves the car cooler at the end of the say.

Costs a bit upfront, sure. But I think we'll continue to see these costs come down, and the incentive to build out parking lot solar arrays will increase as the grid has to adapt to the demands we're placing on it.
This is one of those features that people think they want, and would cost Netflix a ton of money, but would ultimately become filled with spam and would only have a small number of power users. It's a big money pit that does little to retain users and generate revenue. "More social" has been pitched to Spotify countless times and it would likely face a similar fate.
If there's excess demand at night, you increase the price at night. If there's excess supply in the morning/afternoon, you lower the price. It's not complicated, and the problem fixes itself. You don't need AI to simulate what groups of people making rational, independent decisions do themselves. That's how you get cars that won't charge because "AI says so", similar to how all of these dogshit smart thermostats can be completely shut off from heating if "AI says so".
My understanding was that it helps countries with nuclear powered base electrical load to use that power at night, when there isn't a lot of demand.

With further development, a key side benefit is that the grid can then tap into about 5% of your cars battery storage during the day when demand is higher (if you allow it).

The problem is that it's not "a few days." It varies from "Several weeks of absolutely toxic outside air" to "several months." Typical campfire exposure is "A few hours, and if you're not downwind of it constantly, not inhaling that much smoke off it." Jokes about how 360 degrees of campfire are "downwind" ignored...

But a good hot campfire shouldn't be smoking that much, either.
Those employees are making order of magnitudes of their salary in revenue. Google is having record profits. Why exactly should Pichai tighten the purse strings? For the shareholders?

Yes, a CTO should always own shares to prevent a conflict of interest. Otherwise, there's an incentive to book overly expensive services from friends to funnel money out of the company before it becomes profit.
