Ask HN: Why did humans develop sense for sound waves but not other force fields?
Why did humans evolve to develop a sense to detect and act upon sound waves? Presuming we started from a single cell, how did it "know" that sound waves were even a thing to be interpreted and evolved towards? And if there is an innate tendency to develop senses, why did we not develop a way to detect and interpret magnetic fields? Or the other presumably infinite forces that exist and can convey information?

Thanks to the developers on this.

I picked Keepass back when reviewing my security posture the first time since it ran on OSX and Linux.

That was around when I may have spooked people with fun little rituals like "open a safe deposit box at the credit union and keep my backups there instead "the cloud" because I got sick of people being cute in job interviews.

(Around that time, the CEO of one of them got pissed that he remarked at a conference I'd eventually need a "real bank" -- presumably one that allows you to cheat on your taxes and gives you your own inside trader since a checking account and "the stock market" are two VERY different things, but hey, I'm not a CPA.)

It's probably the best open source password manager out there right now, though I hope it gets a formal audit the way Truecrypt did prior to becoming Veracrypt since the open source community has a big issue with insider threats that I'm not going to detail in this comment beyond "I know it when I see it."
This is kind of sloppy; some of the conclusions don’t follow from the data, because the regexes aren’t carefully constructed. I didn’t read much of it, but in the first one he’s captured all sentences beginning with Intelligent, Intellectual, Intelligence, etc. This could have been made more precise by just including a [. ] after Intel.
"No one is as qualified to fight for speech on Twitter as the person who's done it through the company's most tumultuous decade."

That's putting forward a ton of assumptions, none of which you cited supporting evidence for; length of time is quite a weak-shallow argument point.

Let's also bring up the fact that maybe they stayed in those positions so long because they were willing to take a knee to the fascists in governments, willingly toeing the line for them - so then therefore lacking principles and integrity - which is an unacceptable foundation to be fighting from for anything.

Quite the straw man argument you end with.
Sorry, my statement could have been more clear.

I was interested in whether Telegram itself gets a cut of these transactions on their platform outside of the Apple cut. If so, it would seem hypocritical to criticize Apple for doing the same thing.

I've literally never seen that. It's almost always some web app type thing where you can select what you want, order it, and pay using apple pay/Vipps (my country's main electronic money transfer thing)/card. The UX isn't always perfect, but it has always worked too.

> I was wondering where you'd get that from, and then I remembered that you're probably american so your baseline is only 1800W, in which case..

In North America, you cant pull 1800W continuous either, it is limited to 1440 by regulation.

"This regulation is called the maximum continuous load, which is 80% of the total wattage computed. "

This is why space heaters and such are 1200 watt.

So while 120v * 15A is 1,800W no electrician would wire a setup like this.

if you need 1800W they would use probably use a 20A circuit and wiring rated for 20A. 80% load of this would be 1920W.

NOTE: Not an electrician.. if i am mistaken please let me know.

I did two Western Pacific tours (West-Pacs) while in the Navy. On the first one in 1979 we had the F-4 Phantoms and on the second one we were introduced to the Tomcat's. For me, this was a mind blowing experience.

The F-14 is a very large aircraft. It had electroluminescent exterior lighting that looked straight out of a sci-fi novel and with its differential rear stabilizers it looked like a living machine, especially when landing.

I was an electronics tech in a bomber (A6) squadron so I didn't know much about the workings of the aircraft, as mentioned in the article. I will say that I am always in awe when I see that aircraft and will always be.
Russia is aggressor, and the aggressor must be kicked in the ass 'cause he won't stop and repeat again and again. Blaming NATO for all is typical stupid RT-style propaganda.
That’s because your video card sits on a standard well defined port. Where as charging an EV right now comes a bunch of plugs, voltages, charging times, etc. until a unified open standard is reached where you can go from super charging a Tesla to charging a sodium hyndai is reached, this whole ev dance will remain anti consumer.

The plural of anecdote is not data. And GM sells a great many vehicles.

Some are just fine. Some are "mechanically terrible". You'd have to look at big picture stats to see how often it's the case. Most people that buy GM do not end up with mechanically terrible cars, but because so many are bought, a large number are.

Beyond that, there are nationalists (will only buy American) or otherwise brand loyal, often taking up the same preferences as parents.

Indeed. Easter Island is the most iconic, though it's also harder to be sure, and you are correct both to say that this is disputed and to later say that a common cognitive failure is to try to attribute everything to a single cause.

Based on what's in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Societal_collapse, I think many local collapses have this as a contributing factor.

The Khmer Empire (of Angor Wat fame) likely collapsed for many reasons, and one of the possible contributors was ecological. As it's quite a long article, I'll quote:

""" Periods of drought led to decreases in agricultural productivity, and violent floods due to monsoons damaged the infrastructure during this vulnerable time.[40] To adapt to the growing population, trees were cut down from the Kulen hills and cleared out for more rice fields. That created rain runoff carrying sediment to the canal network. Any damage to the water system would have enormous consequences.[42]""" - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khmer_Empire

IMO, the British political responses to the potato famine in Ireland and the many different famines in India are major contributors to their respective independence movements, and hence the fall of the British empire.

Post-Empire, Zimbabwe was seen as the breadbasket of (southern) Africa, but the political choices of Mugabe severely reduced its productivity, and are probably a major contributor to the period of hyperinflation.

Regional issues within nations, the Dust Bowl era of the USA was the intersection of natural drought with the failure of the farmers to adapt to dry farming; if the affected regions had been independent nations rather than states of the USA, I think that would have counted as a collapse.

> We seem to be bad at judging when things are actually in collapse.

Yes, absolutely. Even after the event — From what I've read, the Romans didn't think of themselves as collapsed even when (and thanks to the way it happened, where) we would say that it had; and I still witness British people speaking as though the UK is still nearly the equal of the USA, that "the commonwealth" is a major player, and so on.
Having grown up in Italy and moved to the UK a few years ago seems that in the U.K. we are much less prone to talk to strangers. In Italy oftentimes people who just banter with you even if you don’t know them (at the grocer, the elevator, public transport). Whereas in the UK everyone seems to be minding their own business. You can see it yourself. I noticed it particularly every time I go to Rome and catch the underground as opposed to londons. For instance I can feel the nervousness of people going up and down London Underground opposed to the laid-back and slow pace i instead feel in Rome. I might be just my impression though

> And of course, if something is not on the menu, you can't order it.

... That's how it works right? The menu shows what they are offering and then you pay them. Why would you expect things not in the menu?
In my experience, US restaurants either have something very new (i.e. combined POS/ordering handhelds), or very old (i.e. centralized/non-mobile, sometimes even magstripe only POS, no PIN or contactless capability).

The ones I‘ve seen that have switched to QR payments had mobile POSes before.
If you're referring to the 'overdiagnosis' (i.e. misdiagnosis) of ASD/ADHD early in life, I completely agree that this shouldn't be happening.

I also wasn't arguing for early diagnosis, as I understand the dangers of this, not simply because it's difficult to get right, but I am worried that handling the label in a useful way does seem like it could be more difficult at a younger stage of development.

I was commenting on what appeared to be an assumption - by the commenter I replied to - that those they had dealt with were lazily (!) using their diagnosis label as some kind of excuse for their behaviour or to avoid challenge.

The original commenter could, of course, be entirely correct, but some of the most difficult aspects of ADHD to deal with are:

Not being believed - the assumption that you're actually just lazy, or otherwise morally defective

Constant pressure to 'get over' your ADHD, never letting it influence your actions (or inaction)

It's difficult to relate how much these two pressures can cause agony within the family - with _or_ without any knowledge or understanding of ADHD, and with or without any diagnosis.

The intent of my comment was to ask for patience and understanding for those affected, not to advocate for or against any position on diagnosis.
The line the Russian trolls tend to expose is "Taunting Russia risks all of our lives", then they proceed to explain how not giving Russia everything it wants is taunting.

At some point, the curve definitely bends negative. I used to work on a team adjacent to one of the most "productive" programmers at G by that metric.

My team, and at least 4 other surrounding teams, had one full-time SWE cleaning up after him. He would go around making changes assuming things that he thought were safe and breaking tests, then his manager would argue with you that because you didn't make a promise that what he did wasn't safe, you have to fix the test breakage.
In the US were making it DST only.

Kids don’t really walk to school here so it’s not actually an issue in that regard.

> I'm genuinely curious how such an architecture would work.

Complex systems are the way that they are because they got that way over time. It is not my goal to defend or even characterise a system that I did not create.

I am here telling you the issue that I saw: one event consumer, at an edge case, ran substantially behind another, and when they attempted to co-ordinate over http, this failed. And how it was successfully resolved: fatter events removed the need for co-ordination between these two altogether. This was IMHO a more elegant design - it avoided he issues of the the thin events.
Yeah, it's relative. Bartenders can make decent money in America, but I'm guessing it's a modest salary in most of the EU.

I just moved to the Netherlands and have no qualms with the service in most restaurants. At least in my region (Brabant/Limburg) everyone is very nice. If I had to complain about anything, it would be sitting for 20 minutes after the party is finished eating, waiting for someone to clear the table. The service has been excellent and I enjoy paying the price on the receipt with zero surprises!

Curious about your trajectory.
In Israel we have a political party of orthodox Jews where the leader rabbi of Orthodox Jews tells all his followers to vote for them, and they have the highest voter participation of all groups because of their high discipline of listening to their rabbi.

What their elected leaders do is ensure they get state funding for studying the Bible instead of working.

Do I hate every single shekel they get from me ? Absolutely.

Would it be democratical to prevent them from endorsing their candidates? No.
On the one hand, Russia be damned with their immoral, illegal invasion.

OTOH, Russia allege that they are not fighting Ukraine, backed by NATO weapons, but NATO, fronted by Ukrainian troops.

This appears to support their allegations, and IMHO maybe goes too far. We should be imposing maximum cost on their aggression, but not pushing so hard as to cause a global conflagration.
It wouldn't take a genius because that would be a terrible business decision when you consider number of units sold. And profit-maximizing wouldn't be a particularly weird obsession for a CEO to have, in fact, it's exactly the obsession you'd want him to have.
Generally they check in only once a meal and in the better restaurants, they are better about when to approach your table. There is a way that the tipping system helps - my boss tips massive amounts every time we have lunch (once a week or so). Like close to 15-25%. Especially in Indian restaurants (we are both Indians in the US). But in return, he hates waiting and expects top service. At least since I joined his team, we have gone to one new restaurant that opened up where he got pissed at the service and made them hurry up and serve our table better, then tipped them 22% or something cos he was like the food isn't bad so I'm coming back here and I want good service.

I, on the other hand, am content with waiting for the food if it takes too long and don't need any special service and would prefer to leave the (societally required) minimum tip of 10%.
Instead of compliments, try a more neutral start, like a question.

popular OSS authors, who are in the business of giving their work away for free and helping others use it for free, tend to not be fascists. The core decision one makes, typically early in life, that leads them down the "liberal" or "conservative" path is the decision as to whether or not other people matter.

also I have no clue what this "gravy train" you refer towards means. Liberal and left-leaning voices who are too outspoken live under a constant regime of death threats, stalking, and harassment. Right wing extremists pretty much have the microphone already, as I walk in my suburban neighborhood, every TV screen I see through a window is pegged onto FOX all day long. So not really sure what you're talking about.
Thank you for clarifying, I guess that would mean there's nothing to patch.
But Go used to implement some things with self modifying code. iOS (and OpenBSD) with their W^X restrictions are largely why Go changed.
I'm finally working directly with one of these developers. Thankfully he is leaving next week on his own volition. My work load has doubled over the past several weeks due to rewriting most of his code. And needing to extensively vet code that he's still submitting. The worst part is that he's reasonably productive at producing lines and lines of code that barely function.
Safetyism is a broad cultural trend in the West, theorized to stem in part from the rise of sensationalist reporting on television in the 70s-80s.

The result is that the average parent is more likely not to leave even a younger teenager unsupervised than to address more mundane but realistic dangers like ensuring CO detectors have good batteries or using car seats and booster seats until somewhere between age 9 and age 12.
I'm not saying it's not NVIDIA's fault, but that the spec has been setting companies up for failure, and it's not just NVIDIA who had these cables fail. Rather NVIDIA is the only company actually shipping these cables at scale into the real world to see the extent of the damage.

It's much more secure. Electric locks can be stronger and you can't jimmy them like you can mechanical locks. Plus it makes the dash look better and it's kind of cool.

What, in that example, do you think is the first principle they were working from?

It seems to me that they were missing the principle of quality of “trust but verify.”

This is a risk to SpaceX that I don’t think gets talked about much. They are able to take risks and throw out conventional wisdom to streamline, but sometimes it’s easy to conflate being lucky with being good. But each time their luck goes bad, they lose a little bit of that edge by having to layer on bureaucratic process (like additional quality checks) to mitigate that previously unrecognized risk. Do that enough times and you start to look just like the dinosaurs they’re replacing. If the lose a human life, it may come even faster.

And iron flow batteries exist at the same price point (or significantly lower if we pretend your $500/kWh comparison was an accurate representation of medium term price trends) for 6-24 hr storage in spite of very immature production chains.

The fact that lithium is used but iron flow is less popular is a fairly strong indicator that first and second response (which NPP cannot do) is more important than accounting for daily variability right now.

Similarly sodium ion will hit the market next year and hit similar scale to current Li ion is now in about 2025. Being a smidge heavier is hardly a deal breaker for utility uses, and the reduced fire danger should lower integration costs significantly.
They have started appearing very quickly. There is definitely a long tail, but these days I would say I see one at least ever other time I go to a restaurant or bar.
It's easy to predict the markets, just as it's easy to predict the weather.

I predict it will rain sometime in the next month at my address. I also predict that it will freeze hard in the same time period.

This is a useful prediction, given that I will be winterizing my yard today.

Making a prediction better than an expert's is hard. Useful predictions are often easy.

If my father in law decides to plant 1000 acres in wheat next year, he is making a prediction about the markets. Given the situation in Ukraine and with global climate, wheat prices are one of the most difficult to predict precisely. But he is a low cost producer compared to many, so he knows he is likely to make a profit whether the price is high or low. A precise prediction would be nice, but producers everywhere operate with imprecise but useful predictions all the time.
What advice can you give on becoming better at small talk?
I'd settle for developers just making sure events were events that have happened and not action commands they want to happen.
