You're also correct, but sea sand contains salt, which is corrosive to the steel reinforcement bars and reactive with other minerals. Such concrete fails catastrophically.
> "When people talk about pedophilia, what usually comes to mind is prepubescent children. Not what Stallman was referring to."

Yes, that was what they actually wrote.

> "12? misleading to call that pedophilia."

Mischaracterization of that same sentence.

However, what you are actually criticizing is apparently not actually Stallman, but the defense of Stallman? In that case, perhaps this page does a better job:

Stropping is sharpening. A clean strop (without added abrasive) not only straightens the edge, but also burnishes it and removes material by abrasion. Here are some electron microscope images showing the effects.

- The world produces far more food than necessary to feed everyone. The fact Americans are rich enough to e.g. let a pack of strawberries rot in the fridge is not a huge moral failing. Hunger is a political problem, not a logistics problem. America donates more than any other country in the world, not just in absolute terms but a per capita basis.

- We wouldn’t understand the economics of externalities without freedom of thought and expression necessary to cultivate vibrant academic life. China is on a trajectory to become the #1 environmental polluter on a per capita basis. No, it’s not because America outsources industrial production to China. China also severely overfishes. Bad economic decisions and neglect of externalities are not exclusive to democracy.

- China’s capacity and political will to build infrastructure is impressive. (Though plenty of countries like Norway also do that.) The problem with the authoritarian style of unchecked decision making is that they built far, far too much HSR. Without any cost/benefit analysis, they’ve ended up with a huge maintenance burden and many lines that are rarely used money pits. https://youtu.be/ITvXlax4ZXk

American governance does suffer from a culture of adversarial legalism, and an excess of citizen voice. That includes NIMBYism, environmental review, multiple conflicting layers of government, and other features that give small groups the ability to mount challenges to or veto beneficial projects.

My 82 years old, disabled dad disagrees that this is a good idea.
Evidence is the tool by which people attempt to get an edge over uncertainty. Lacking medical credibility is not proof that you're medically foolish, but it's certainly evidence. Conversely, having medical credibility is not proof that your doctor's plan is medically wise, but it's certainly evidence.

It's your call if you wish ignore to medical credibility when evaluating your doctor's advice. Perhaps you'll engage in a discussion about how their medical credibility is not adequate evidence, but at that point, isn't it time to get a doctor you find credible?
Ask HN: Good Resources for Microgrants/Microfunding?
I've decided to create a bootstraped startup. The idea requires very minimal capital for incorporation and infra costs (I'll do the development myself). Since, the amount is very low, its very difficult to arrange any meeting with seed funds. I was wondering if there's any way to raise 5-10k USD capital.
Any advice and suggestions? Thanks.

I imagine letting the artist become influential outside of music would mean their record labels and producers loose control. I wonder if the relationship of who owns what and the where various lines are between The Talent and Producer in world of K-Pop is maybe quite different compared to places like the UK where characters like Harry Styles have long-since moved past being a "music artist".

This difference might change how intimately an artist is manufactured and presented.
Hydrogen as seasonal storage will have to compete with thermal storage, which does not suffer from electrolyzer losses and challenges from storage of vast amounts of volatile flammable gas. Consider NASA Artemis leaks.
Nobel Prize in Medicine awarded for Genomic Analysis of Extinct Hominins (live)
Definitely nobodies online. I don't think anything I've ever done or will do would put me in the interest radius of big agencies, government or private (outside of perhaps advertising and a few exceptions).

I have however, encountered death threats or obsessive/hostile behavior from people online who decided they have a beef with me for one reason or another. I'm much more inclined to be wary of some unstable individual having the means to find my identity (and therefore my location)- potentially using this to act on their emotions IRL.

Different countries entirely. Tata's vehicles may undergo some price inflation, but they're not suddenly going to become $50k vehicles intended for the US market. As for Tesla, why on Earth would they bother selling a $35k car when they're having trouble keeping the $45k one in stock? Same with the Mach-E and the F150 lightning.
> If ad blocking really became a significant problem, the next big change I suspect is server-side ad network integration for ad serving.

I'm surprised that's not already the case. Well, not that surprised, it's a business where at least one of sides is scum and server-side makes it a hell lot easier to cheat
I agree with everything in that report except for using hydrogen for long term storage.

Hydrogen has a very wide range of air concentrations in which it's flammable, a very high flame speed, and it burns very hot. It also gets everywhere if there's a small defect in the seals of its containers. To me, that's...not safe.

Since PV produced energy is going to be so incredibly cheap, I'd trade some energy to make stored hydrogen a lot safer, by reacting it with air captured carbon to make hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons are much safer in all four aspects I listed above. We already have the storage structures built, and we have many decades' experience with storing and handling them and dealing with emergency situations involving them.

It'll probably take a few disasters before regulators come around to this way of thinking, though.

> If a hacker knows your first and last name, a couple of quick guesses (say janedoe or jdoe) and they're halfway to accessing your account.

I disagree with this mostly. While finding out the username might lead to an issue where requesting a new password is possible if the hacker is able to access that mailbox, you are presumably already fucked at that point. Otherwise, they still need to hack you password, which should not be feasible if you generate those.

I just do really see what the benefit is, as opposed to the downside, which is that you have another field you can't reproduce in event of not being able to access bitwarden for some reason. At least knowing the username and being able to request a new password makes me less dependant on Bitwarden.
“Victimless crime” - I think not. Most affected are small businesses and startups with precious marketing dollars that can no longer afford to run an App Install campaign that reaches real users instead of bots. The big dogs can brute force their way through this. I’d venture to say that Ad fraud is a moat in itself.

If you are paying any bill for ads, make sure you only pay for conversions. Ie. unless the customer actually buys your product, then don't pay anything. Eg. instead of paying $0.002 per view of your ad, or $0.10 per click of your ad, pay $6 per person who clicks your ad and then buys your product.

That way, ad fraud doesn't affect you. Plenty of ad providers allow such an option. Internally, they convert your payments per conversion into payments per click and then payments per impression, but importantly this shifts the incentive to get rid of bots to them, not you - you no longer care. The provider also has an incentive to send you customers who will actually buy your product, and to send the bots and web scrapers to their other clients.
Even that comparison is a bit of a reach because the US does not have conscription, so the professional/education pipelines are just massively different.

I believe you’re referring to this article which makes the point https://acoup.blog/2020/03/20/collections-why-dont-we-use-ch..., though with a slightly different conclusion: it says that chemical weapons are useless for a top tier modern army, because top tier modern opponents can easily protect against them, and other opponents are better targeted using conventional means. But for armies that are not top-tier modern armies, they still make sense and are still in use.

You have already been living in the illusion that the cultural things that you consider important - artists, music, whatever - are paid much attention to in the rest of the world. Outside your own bubble you'll find that even if the most famous musicians in the world are known everywhere they often only have a small mindshare compared to more local artists and there's a lot of extremely popular stuff going on that you have never heard of. Perhaps that's just happening to the internet as more people get it.
A light introduction to Rust for Python developers
I'd guess the switch is expensive, fragile and large enough that people consider it more transportable than portable. Kids would take it while going on holidays, in the plane, etc but you don't see many kids carrying a switch in the street and playing it in the bus because it doesn't stay in a pocket and require a protective bag.

The same applied to the original gameboy. In fact only the Gameboy Advance SP and maybe the DS Lite were small enough to fit in a kid's pocket.
A little aggressive, no? No one's "deciding" anything for anyone in my comment.

You don't get to decide how much work/social engagement/widget purchasing makes you content any more than you can "decide" how many drinks it takes for you to get drunk.

All I'm saying is that many people could both reduce their consumption and improve their quality of lives by optimizing for factors unrelated to material consumption.

Technically this is possible on a blockchain. Optimistic rollups for example have a week-long dispute period.

It’s just that most people using blockchains haven’t needed or wanted this feature given its costs and centralization. Especially when transacting with smart contracts and digital assets: the domain asset you buy isn’t arriving damaged upon delivery.

If you really want this - it is not farfetched to assume a blockchain based PayPal replacement would offer some dispute resolution for special cases such as fraud, theft.
I can see that happening and that could be a good way to remove all that JS nightmare and provide better visibility on perf impact, eventually improving overall user-experience.

In the meantime, someone will build adblocker undoing what has been done server-side. And if this is hard to detect, that will be based on training/model. Data integration will be subject to GDPR.
You should be cautious about push notification frequency. It could annoy users and they could uninstall your app. I highly recommend test push notification frequency bit by bit so you could measure the retention rate.

The SixthSense talk and the associated hype in 2009 was terrible. It was impossible to convince the majority that the cuts of demos in the TED talk were effectively choreographed set pieces, even though many scenes required tech which didn’t work like that.

The whole thing was hyped as “open” and liberating. Nothing was released until the hype died down (2011). What was released was not even close to the talk, it gained no traction and never iterated past v0.1.

SixthSense was a prime example of deliberate misinformation coming from academia. MIT Media Lab won a huge number of awards, Mistry was touted as a genius, and then absolutely nothing happened.

> A study of lights at night suggests dictators lie about economic growth

The lights -- nice source of data!

So, this claim is about "dictators" and "economic growth".

So, I think of a joke, although with maybe some truth:

Dictators are politicians. Economic growth is a political issue. Since politicians lie about political issues, as just a special case dictators lie about economic growth! Ha ha.

But the fraction of politicians I believe are lying is so large, I'm not laughing at my own joke.
That's not how statistics work. I consider myself a frequent visitor of the second results page, but even for me the CTR of the results on the second page are < 1 %, because I almost always find the thing I want on the first page.

The question ought to be "conditional on not finding the result on the first page, how likely is the user to go to the second page versus balk, or re-try a different query?"

I'm fairly confident that number is higher than 1 %, but I don't have the data.

There was a John Smith who was briefly the leader of the Labour Party in the UK (he sadly died very soon after becoming leader from a heart attack), and I remember him saying that before he became well-known, when he checked into hotels with his real name the receptionist's often eyed him suspiciously, thinking it was a false name to cover up the fact he was checking in with his mistress.

More acute angles resist abrasive wear better because more material must be removed before the edge radius is too large to cut effectively. More obtuse angles resist deformation and chipping better, but cannot slice through material as effectively.

"Design by committee" is a great way to create something that works for a lot of people, but is average at best. If you want to create something that really excels, you need someone to drive home the vision and that's really hard to do when you're more than one, because it's really hard to be 100% on the same page.

Not to say it's impossible, it's just a lot harder.
Either there is something especially harsh about Finland's environment, or whatever cars they're making there are uniquely bad. That's absolutely unheard of where I live. 12 years is definitely not what I meant by "old".

Of course a sufficiently old car will be falling apart, whether it's part of the "ICE" or not - the suspension and shocks will be need to be replaced, door seals degraded or positively worthless, interior will be faded and cracking, wheel bearings fail, AC compressor goes out, various sensors fail (my favorite so far was the antitheft sensor)...when everything starts going bad, that's when I would expect the engine to be just be worn; basically, I would expect the ICE to last as long, or outlast, the rest of the car, save any issues on the left hand of the bathtub curve from manufacturing defects that should be covered under warranty. What you're saying is totally wild and alien to me. Mechanics must get a lot of business there.

If EVs are so reliable and maintenance free, why is the Tesla drivetrain warranty only 100k miles on the Model 3? That's no different than many ICE cars (eg I know Kia has the same warranty on ICE cars), and also well within the middle of the bathtub curve for an ICE car.

This is remarkable. I have been on an OSM kick after realising how good it is these days and was searching for something similar to Google Maps.

Look again. The original statement did not explicitly assume forex. And the original comment to that statement was a question as to whether forex is needed; the answer is “no, if you don’t require fiat” - and obviously it also depends on calling Eth and stablecoins “money” which many crypto users do.

> international same party (sending money to yourself) money transfers

>> But you've not sent money to yourself, you've sent Eth to yourself, and you still need a forex transaction on each end?

Somewhere along the way the discussion changed from one party transferring to them self, to two parties.
