> US (and maybe one or two English-speaking countries) are the only ones using 12h time, the rest of the world uses 24hrs, however 12h _sometimes_ is used

India uses 12h time (except in military talk; & railway timetable display boards) in day to day life. I have never heard in 29 years somebody using 15 as 3, or 20 as 8pm. Even till few years ago, atound 2008, flights times at Delhi Airport too were displayed in 12h, on mechanical card spinner display board (where a card with letter falls & next one comes, on a roll until desired letter comes). Seeing that board as a kid was highlight of my childhood trips to airport.rt.

This is a large chunk of "The Elephant in the Brain", though it's present as an example of the wider thesis. The overall topic of the book is that people basically always lie about their motivations, including to themselves. I highly recommend reading it.

Top result on Google for how many km should running shoes last

Experts recommend you replace your running shoes every 500 to 750 kilometers. That's roughly every 300 to 500 miles, which equates to approximately four to six months for someone who runs 20 miles a week.

What are you doing replacing your shoes every 4 weeks?
> JSON has a few rough points that make it frustrating to parse.

Even so, parsing JSON is a well-understood problem, and there are tons of mature libraries to parse and generate it. I'd much rather work with a JSON-based protocol than one which made up its own wacky data format.

The same goes for the use of HTTP. It may not be the ideal protocol for accessing mail, but everyone knows how to work with HTTP, and tools to interact with it are plentiful.

> That the metric system is just as arbitrary as the customary units

No-one claims it isn't arbitrary. Any choice of units is arbitrary. "Not being arbitrary" just isn't a desideratum when considering what makes a good system of units.

The main desirable property is coherence [0], which SI has.

But I don't think anyone would claim SI is perfect. It's not; it's got at least a couple of warts. One is that "kg" is a base unit and is prefixed. But that's about the worst of it.

CGS is also coherent, but has a similar problem with a prefixed base unit (in this case, cm).

US Customary units is not only incoherent, but does things like conflate mass and force (lb is a technically a measure of force, so is the long/short ton, and slug is the proper unit for mass) and has far too many derived units that measure the same thing (e.g. ft lb/s, hp and BTU/h, vs just W).

Jordan Peterson’s zebra story
I'm curious what you mean by fallout, are you referring to the replication crisis?
Not really books but did some undergrad research on the topic.

http://stephendavies.org/writings/mitterederEtAl.pdf

We referred to it as "issue alignment" but its gone by other things, IIRC. Basically, in theory, one could end up supporting positions that would make 0 sense outside the context of "well, I support "X" cause "team green" supports "X."

I've seen it happen often online, a lot less IRL.
Second this; I found it particularly interesting that even the best device (AW) was a bit worse than I would have expected, which means my issues with my own device (Garmin) make a lot more sense.
Probably sugar consumption has gone down because people have replaced it with artificial sweeteners, which have similar metabolic effects in the body to what Lustig has attributed to sugar. It'd be nice to see a combined graph of sugar + artificial sweeteners.
Starch.
Sugar consumption may have decreased, but starch converts to sugar in our stomach acid, and with the Amylase in our saliva.

Yup. The largest part of the food pyramid: Grains.

Noodles, potatoes, porridge, bread...
It's all sugar.
No. I was directly answering the assertion that the non-linearity of drag around the transonic regime somehow implied a supersonic craft would have lower drag than a subsonic one. The faster you move air to exert a force on yourself, the less energy efficient it is. KE=1/2 mv^2 and P=mv It is very simple physics.

You're making a similarly dishonest equivocation by carefully trying to frame the problem as if it were a mystery and the problem hadn't been reduced to lift/drag ratios 70 years ago. Which have an easily calculable upper bound for supersonic flight, by the way.

A supersonic craft has a much worse lift to drag ratio than a subsonic one. A supersonic craft even has a worse lift to drag ratio than the same supersonic craft at subsonic speed.

You can't even optimize your craft for that high altitude high speed regime because it still has to fly at lower speed and altitude and make it through the sound barrier without getting destroyed.

You will be using at least three times the fuel, so will need at least three times the ticket price. But that's not the only place a basic understanding of kinetic energy disqualifies the entire concept. Your engines/fans will also need at least double the effective exhaust velocity so their energy needs per unit of thrust will be doubled.

With this we can predict that all other things being equal, a supersonic craft will use about 6-10x the fuel per passenger mile as a subsonic one. A 747 has a bit over double the range and 4-6 times the passenger count as a concorde, so the naive approach got us in the ballpark.

Then for long haul flights (the only kind where supersonic will save time) existing airliners are almost half fuel by mass, which means you're in the regime of the rocket equation rather than having fuel scale linearly with distance. Then you can't offset business and first class with economy tickets and freight because noone is going to fly economy supersonic for 6-10x the cost or pay 6-10x the shipping for no perceptible time saving. With the previous in mind though, the supersonic craft is going to be limited to about 4 hours in the air before you start to lose passenger capacity to fuel. So it's not even great for long haul.

In short. Unless fuel prices drop dramatically ticket prices for a new supersonic craft would be commensurable with a new apartment for time savings of around 4 hours or at best 30% of the total door to door time.
I had no idea that there was a standardized hardware platform inside those arcade machines, let alone that it was 68000 based. Fascinating seeing all the details. Thanks for sharing!

In fact that's how many get into the elite group and jockey for position within it.

"Think about what it takes to claw your way into America’s elite strata. Unless you were born into the upper-middle class, your surest route is to pursue an elite education. To do that, it pays to be exquisitely sensitive to the beliefs and prejudices of the people who hold the power to grant you access to the social and cultural capital you badly want. By setting the standards for what counts as praiseworthy, elite universities have a powerful effect on youthful go-getters."

"As the senior assistant director of admissions at Yale recently observed, “for those students who come to Yale, we expect them to be versed in issues of social justice. We encourage them to be vocal when they see an opportunity for change in our institution and in the world.” Picture yourself as an eager high schooler reading these words, and then jotting down notes. You absorb, assuming you hadn’t already, what it takes to make your way in contemporary elite America. And as you grow older, you lean into the rhetorical gambits that served you so well in the past. You might even build a worldview out of them."

Slightly introspect for me then, why doesn’t LVT make sense?
What's wrong with mcmaster's packaging? Every time I've ordered, it's been plastic ziplocks or carboard boxes in a main box stuffed with brown paper. That's about as minimal as you can get.

If you have a problem with that, well, I have some bad news about how commerce, medical, and industry go about wastage in general. Bought 1000' of foobar filler rod and only used 50'? Chuck the rest cause it'll cost more in labor to deal with the excess.
Of course it wasn’t thought out. It was a knee jerk reaction primarily based on gut feel about immigrants for the most part. Can’t lock yourself out in a globalized world and really can’t be a country (without basically having metaphorically medieval infrastructure) without globalization.
I’ve posted this on HN before, but I’ll say it again. At my work, an idea is more likely to be prototyped if it can be done with parts available on McMaster. Sometimes I just browse the McMaster catalogue to come up with design ideas.

Contractors with repeat business at the same client is a positive signal. Otherwise evaluating a former contractor for a role is about whether they’re interested enough to stick around long enough for the intended achievements of the role.

I wonder why the GBP is going down so much faster than EUR. If this is because expensive energy imports, they should go down equally fast?
No actually, the Republican party threatening to start a civil war could lead to a civil war.

My country has my fingerprints because I have an id document like everybody else.

A number of states around the world have my fingerprints too because I entered those countries as tourist and I had to put at least one finger on a reader.

Maybe some country included mine also have my retina scan, I had to look into some cameras sometimes.

All those biometric information could be leaked, sold by corrupt civil servants or exchanged with other countries so random passwords generated by a password manager protects me more than biometric information. Am I wrong?

Of course some site could store and share with whoever they want my cleartext password before hashing it but I use one different password per site.
The synthesis is amazing! But, I would like to see an attempt to synthesize a rich text CRDT rather than the relatively trivial set & LRW register stuff.
The only difference is that in the U.S. it's the media that controls the government and not the other way around. There is still a hegemony between the media and the government, quite similar to an authoritarian one.

The only time in history the media didn't control the government was Trump's presidency.

Non hegemony between media and government isn't stable. Free press in democratic countries practically means control of the media over the government.

There isn't a single politician who got elected without extensive media coverage. There exist very few politicians that can withstand hostile media coverage, and that hostility can be completely debased from reality and it wouldn't matter.

OpenAI co-founder Greg brockman mentioning how he became an ML practitioner, it is surprisingly humble and has many references to other interesting sources https://blog.gregbrockman.com/how-i-became-a-machine-learnin...

the second is very old original paper(1948) for Claude Shannon on information theory, when I blocked some time to read it, it was so jaw droppingly relevant for a really old paper he was going through basics of phone transmissions, and how he constructed bits and gigabytes, and why logarithmic structures matter , it's very dense and good kind of dense, if you're frustrated with the amount of bugs you have to deal with in software, the paper help highlight what have been persistent old problems manifesting in new languages and data structures, it is the kind of paper you would return to many times for reference.

I don't judge businesses with how well-stocked their fridge is or how they coddle their employees.

It wasn't a case of my employer depriving me of tools necessary to do my daily tasks. It was a case of my employer pointing out that I had a very trivial desire that was totally unnecessary, and that I was being selfish by not considering their POV.

The church I worked for is not an independent entity; they're part of the largest and oldest corporation on Earth - literally. They operate 100% on freewill donations from the faithful; they don't run any profit-making enterprise. They are beholden to rules and regulations from above, but the diocese doesn't routinely assist them financially in daily operations or capital costs.

The church has to consider insurance and liability in everything they do, and my supervisor was the person in charge of making sure that employees were aware of, and on board with, rules and regulations like that.

That church is able to sustain over two dozen subunits of ministries, run by unpaid and mostly untrained volunteers. They've consistently maintained and improved the beauty of the physical plant, all while drawing significantly lower revenue than their neighboring churches. And the reason they can do that is because they're able to teach people like me to think about what it means to buy a $1 pen with a $0.25 label attached.
Let’s just hope these places have enough time to understand exactly what policies they’re voting for before the world plunged into war like every other time in history when populism like this succeeds.

Well, if you're climbing some huge mountain in the middle of nowhere you probably need to charge your Garmin as well.

Garmin absolutely has better battery life. But if you can see your way to charging the Apple Watch more frequently it seems more interesting for a combination of regular smartwatch use and day activities. And, if you are climbing huge mountains in the middle of nowhere, I assume purchasing a specialized watch if you want one is the least of your expenses. (Or something like an InReach.)
I don't have any help but I just want to send you a little support and encouragement.
What's your weekly mileage? Are you doing something extreme to your shoes? Most runners don't spend, nor could they afford to spend $250 per pair of shoes that wear out in 6 weeks. Try $100 every 6 months instead. Events do add up but for most runners it comes out to roughly the same as the shoes or less. Running is popular because it's affordable. You might be projecting your rarefied well funded lifestyle onto the rest of the market
"A dollar a pound".
A few decades ago this was in the headlines on CNN if I remember correctly.

But really, there is no real reason for the GBP to be worth more than the dollar in the last few decades.

The UK is a bit of a **hole, except for London. Guess things finally coming into balance now.
Well that causes inflation, was my point, because that money wasn’t (isn’t) being used to compete for consumer goods.

But by redistributing it to lower and middle class, it’s now being spent on consumer goods, increasing demand for the goods, causing inflation.
Hm... don't think I agree with a lot the author says, here.

Cartoons are compelling because they're a colorful, heavily abstracted and anthropomorphized, impossibly expressive worlds without the hard and fast limitations of our physical existence. If Excitebike and lazy Hanna-Barbera cartoons are your only animated escapes from the real world, classic style Disney cartoons offer arrestingly compelling visuals and stories.

But 7 year olds probably can't remember a time without Splatoon 2 and Super Mario Odyssey and Zelda Breath of The Wild and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. They've not only been watching, but have been interacting with and manipulating environments with that level of flashiness and abstraction for their entire conscious existence. While they obviously will still enjoy cartoons because they're beautiful and entertaining, they just won't impact them like they did us.

I also think this author erroneously asserts that Disney's remakes solely prey upon nostalgia. Children, not middle-aged fans of the originals, are still the primary audience for Disney movies, so that's not likely. They also assume that our generation's media hit the magic Goldilocks balance while the ones that came before us were contemptibly outdated and the ones that came after us were either superficial, or mocking useful social mores, or guilty of some other moral transgression. You might recognize this behavior from, you know, every other generation.

Kids growing up now will have a level of media sophistication few non-experts in prior generations could ever hope to match.

They are also unreliable for use in semiautomatic weapons, because they lack consistency in the force needed to eject the casing and chamber a new round.
What you are saying is the policy of the new prime minister. When it was announced, the pound lost 40% of its value as a result of that.

Her policies are the result of an ideological adherence to Reaganomics trickle down economics instead of any pragmatic economic policy.

I live here and your proposed hyper capitalistic haven sounds like a nightmare. You even preempted any possible failure this type of policy can have for 10 years.
Not using your Garmin for hiking is very surprising.

Primary reason is that tracking position for the duration drains battery where Garmin can do 50hrs of it. This gives me a .gpx file of the route for future reference and passing to friends.

Second is that while tracking it's 10x easier to check current distance and elevation on a watch vs phone. I head out with a list of mileage for every notable waypoint (water, turns, elevation of passes, etc). I'm constantly checking this and only if I'm questioning my route do I pull out my phone.

The day of the sun, or the Lord's day, is not the 7th day sabbath, it was declared by the Catholic Church to supersede the Sabbath and celebrate the resurrection instead.

In saying “the Sabbath . . . has been replaced by Sunday” (CCC 2190), the Church does not dismiss the significance of the Sabbath. The Catechism reminds us, “Sunday is expressly distinguished from the Sabbath which it follows chronologically every week” (CCC 2175).

This news had a big impact on me, but I was wondering how they actually did it. It's like carbon credits, or the snake breeding or whatever, you can't pay people enough to not do something.

Per the article, it sounds like maybe

1. There actually is published research linking sugar to heart health

2. The sugar lobby paid $50k for a single review study that omitted/downplayed 1 and emphasized other papers related to fat and heart health

3. Policymakers used this single study to shape policy

I'm left with a lot of questions though. The article talks about the sugar lobby doing this for 50 years... what did they do in the rest of the 50 years? And $50k isn't a lot!

Do journalists only look at review papers? That doesn't sound right, there's a constant barrage of journalists jumping on a single paper with minor findings and sensationalizing it, I can't believe they'd as a whole completely ignore sugar research. Public discourse also completely ignored sugar, somehow.

Did other industries (meat? butter? oil?) not fight back about this?
> Note that the number used for the gutter size has to come immediately after the -g. You can’t leave a space between the option and its argument as you can with many other commands.

I’ve seen this a few times. Why is that? Is there some syntactic ambiguity?
They actually even admit that the API garbage. They say:

> "The v0 API is essentially a dump of our in-memory data structures. We know, what works great locally in memory isn't so hot over the network. Many of the awkward things are just the way HN works internally. Want to know the total number of comments on an article? Traverse the tree and count. Want to know the children of an item? Load the item and get their IDs, then load them. The newest page? Starts at item maxid and walks backward, keeping only the top level stories. Same for Ask, Show, etc. I'm not saying this to defend it - It's not the ideal public API, but it's the one we could release in the time we had. While awkward, it's possible to implement most of HN using it."

https://github.com/HackerNews/API

If one wants to get the comments for a post on HN from the API, they have to first fetch the post, then fetch every single comment of the post 1 by 1. So if the post has 500 comments, one has to basically send over 500 network requests......

They did say that they plan on released a better API in the future. However, as far as I know, it will be read only initially. So won't be much useful for my app.
Since childhood, I have always counted 16 on 4 fingers. Top of finger tip as 1, then the dark lines between knuckles, on inside side of finger as 2,3,4. After 16, I continue with 17 on first finger again, but left hand has now 1 touched by my thumb. Technically its 16x16 numbers.
