After falling about 0.15 kilometers (0.002% of the way to earth's center), you encounter about 20 atmospheres of air pressure and die from hyperoxia.

This fool is mixing up atmospheric pressure and water pressure. If you're going to speak with authority on something maybe you should spend more than five seconds thinking about it.

After falling about 1.1 kilometers (0.02% of the way to earth's center), you encounter a temperature of about 320 Kelvin

No. The temperature at 1.1km is about 36c. Uncomfortable, but not fatal. Certainly not so instantly fatal you die before passing the 2km depth on your fall.

your dried up bones and remnants of flesh encounter a temperature of about 1200 Kelvin and are completely incinerated into dust.

Burning a bone to dust requires temperatures over 1100c. He is mistaking the temperature inside a crematorium for the temperature required to incinerate bone. 1200 kelvins, like a crematorium, will produce chunks of calcified bone, not "completely incinerated into dust".

God this is a lazy article.
In the video you can hear the music is still playing. Imagine waiting at the exit four hours, listening to the same tune over and over again.
More correctly, fundamentally software can never know when its rules should be broken.

Computers are just state machines, without determinism and a few other properties they do not perform work. Determinism means there is only one next possible state/action.

Breaking rules would imply there are two or more possible states or actions, and that is a class of problems that computers cannot solve (they talk about this in compiler design courses). Most people subscribe to magical thinking because they don't know how computers work, or what they are even.
It's there, but disabled. They had to check for that.
Yes, that's what I had in mind, I may be wrong though. Did any Brits have issues with eu domains after Brexit?
Prisma is a nice DB client library but does't do any of the things I'm interested in - reactive queries on the client, recursive graph traversal, raising level of abstraction for the organization. Schematizing the DB & a type-safe DB client is nice, but I'm more interested in stuff one or two levels of abstraction up. Like, after the data comes into memory Prisma is done and out of the picture. But getting the data into memory is the easy part IMO. Traversing it, adding permissions and business logic, managing & composing mutations, dealing with caching and reactivity.. that's the good stuff, and I'm not sure what if any Prisma offers there.
I think you're overestimating the value of Twitter to Stephen King - who has been famous far longer than Twitter has been around. Taking a dig at his past alcoholism was a bit of a cheap shot, especially since he's been sober for decades by now
My 2016 olympus pen-f, which wasn't exactly ground-breaking technology when it came out, already had an electronic shutter that worked with the full resolution of the sensor.

It's a 20 MP micro 4/3 sensor - so 1/4 the surface area of "full-frame".
AI is still pure magic to me. It's the first time something makes me feel like I'm part of the "before" era.

I thought it would be cool, like someone seeing the space race. Instead, I find it terrifying, like the nuclear race.
CCP don’t want to lead the world. CCP needs to lead China through all means necessary and global trade is necessary for that.
That report was made by interns in the minority party, aka republican staffers. Its propaganda, not backed by anything at all, and uses a ton of purple language to say that the lab leak is unfalsifiable (aka we cannot say outright it didn't happen) and equate that with "probably happened".
Is this really a political statement?

Was the French Ancient Regime a liberal government letting people choose their lawyers?

Was the French Revolution bloodless?
In fact, in that case, the indirection does the opposite of protect: even receiving the diamond from the original thief as a gift is illegal.
To be fair, people in any culture observe certain unwritten rules and not others.

The consequences are where the biggest difference lie. Look what happened to Jintao a week ago. You are truly never safe issuing criticism in China.

>Personally I run into interesting things all the time, and it seems great to be able to have a place to store them so I don’t forget about them.

I've found an unexpected use case here for Telegram. I have Telegram open all the time in the background on all my computers and mobile devices. It has a 'Saved Messages' feature, which shows up in your contacts list like another conversation. Whenever I come across 'stuff' [or is 'shit' the cool word?] I want to remember it's really easy to just copy a link... or image/video URL... or some text I'm interested in... or scribble down an idea I've had and send/share it to 'Saved Messages' in Telegram.

Then, when I've got time to catch up and digest. I just open the 'Saved Messages' conversation in Telegram and there's all my stuff... er... 'shit' including; web previews, photos, embedded videos, etc. And it's there, instantly synced across all my devices. I also find myself using this as a really quick method of sending files between mobile devices and desktop/laptops. For me Telegram syncs instantly and 100% reliably --which is more than I've ever found Google Drive and its ilk to be capable of.
SQLite’s codebase - the test to code ratio is something like 1 to 20000. It’s the most tested codebase in existence.
This I don't get and open to someone explaining it. There was a market rumour yesterday that committee was established to remove this rule ...markets jumped but that rumour was squashed by their government. Clearly it's causing pain and what happens with the next pandemic. Do the know something we don't?
I personally had hoped the pan demic would normalize the wearing of gloves when in public, to be taken off as needed to eat, etc.

> A friend of mine worked in China for many years, but after several months of being locked in their apartment block and tested every 72 hours they chose to leave China.

Had a co-worker who also moved back to Singapore after spending many years living in Shanghai. They gave her 4 eggs and a bag of lettuce to last for 1 week, thankfully the apartment block she lived in had a person sneak in every few days with groceries for the building because the local authories didn't care. Being woken up at 5am daily for mandatory testing.
I have heard people say "vanity TLDs are bad" but never experienced it myself.

I have email addresses at .co.uk, .digital and .social never had deliverability issues with sending or receiving.

When I worked at a large (100m emails/wk) email service provider the key thing was sending IP reputation followed by things like DKIM and SPF DNS records on the sending domain.

IP reputation would be an issue if you self hosted your email, but using a reputable provider such as tutanota and fastmail should pose no issue.
Yeah. I was commenting in a thread a few hours ago trying to reason about alcohol's degrading effects on the brain. Also depression and morbid obesity.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33424857

Worry probably causes neural degradation too.

I'm still gonna drink alcohol and I'm still going to end up catching some diseases. I'll probably still eat some burgers, too. I'd like to not be a total wreck for doing any of these sorts of things too much.

I've heard ferrets smell kinda bad, but I'd probably still want to pet a brain damaged one.
The 4 person example has a lot more usable space though, since you're sharing common space. You're not adding 3 more kitchens. Or 3 more laundry areas. Or 3 more bathrooms (maybe 1). Or 3 more living rooms.

The 270 ft² space might have 100 ft² usable area, but the 1076 ft² could have 700 ft² usable.
My 2 cents:

1. The space is fairly crowded, you'll be competing with Notion, Bear, Obsidian, Evernote to name a few. These guys are big.

2. The statement: "tool to help you remember things you're interested in" is too narrow / too weak. Obsidian has "a second brain for you, forever" which I find a lot more appealing (and broader).

3. Focus on your differentiators: the automated data capture and news feed is AWESOME. This is your sales point. Something like "Your personal automated newsroom". What you're selling is a Bloomberg terminal for your own stuff. You could sell to companies to "get notified of your competitors' products"

4. Since things are stored locally, drop the "sign in" part. You'll get a lot more people on board if they only have to install an app. Get people to sign in to allow cloud backup / syncing.

5. This looks like good stuff!
That would depend on the country, yet I'd consider late 30s to be the age.
Also I am using the phone daily to call anyone - family, coworkers. It'd appear, around here, the ear buds have not caught up.
“OS spokesman Mark Greaves said it was not related to climate change.”

I guess it would be related a bit more if sea levels rose by a few 100m s. (How does one pluralise lengths?)

A strange puff piece for OS PR, maybe a few towns along this line will eek out a town festival as this congruence transacts the land.
The air drag is proportional to air pressure and the square of velocity. If we assume that the air pressure grows linearly with depth, we'll get the following equation for acceleration:

F/m = a = x'' = g - px - qx•x'•x'

Here g-px accounts for linear decrease of gravity, qx is the air pressure, and x'^2 is the square of velocity.

That's a tricky equation and even wolframlpha cant solve it.

There's a difference between protesting and rioting tho.
I have strong suspicion you are not talking about Google's android dialer but some chinese ad-infested knock-off. When I used to have crappy Xiaomi, I had ads everywhere - settings, basic 'android' apps, most probably dialer too, definitely SMS sending app and so on. Threw it away and never looked back.

There are premium androids who give users completely different experience, be it Samsung, Sony, Google etc etc etc. Literally hundreds of models to pick your match. On my S22 ultra I never saw a single similar ad since I bought it. I wish people stopped bashing android just because they cheaped out and then found out that cheap phones are actually cheap to get revenue back in baked-in ads (there are other concerns coming from Google as creator but that's a different topic, since there is no saints among phone manufacturers and lure of ads revenue is too strong even for Apple)
At 25x CO2 equivalent

Where do you get the 25x from? Wikipedia says it's 80x-100x:

> over a 20-year period, [methane] traps 84 times more heat per mass unit than carbon dioxide (CO2) and 105 times the effect when accounting for aerosol interactions

(from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_methane)

After that 20 years, methane decomposes into CO2 so its long-term contribution is 3x CO2 equivalent (due to the higher mass after acquiring the oxygen atoms), so its lifetime CO2 equivalence can be higher or lower than 25x depending on which timescale you're looking at. Is the 25x an oft-used figure in the industry/literature?
Also, if you dig a tunnel between any two points A and B on the earth's surface and jump inside -assuming no friction and that the only force is gravity- the time from A to B is the same for any point A and B [1].

> I enjoyed a five months paid non compete when last moving between banks, and build nothing worthwhile during that time.

Every now and then I see someone comment on HN about their experience with longer between-jobs periods, sabbatical, etc. The core theme I've noticed is that, apparently, it's common to "waste" some 3-6 months before one starts making good use of their time - apparently this is how much it takes to properly switch over to being fully self-directed.

If that hypothesis is accurate, then it's not surprising you've built "nothing worthwhile" during your five-month break - you've got yanked back into employment right as you were finally ready to make good use of your time!
To be fair, browser already provide a bunch of accessibility. Unfortunately, the tech we use to build websites also provide a whole host of footguns that are too easy to trigger when building UIs of any meaningful complexity.
I think it's worse than that - they are well into the stage of growth where privacy and reliability are just marketing deceptions. Some other recent data points:

- They suddenly weakened a privacy setting, and even exposed some client IPs for good measure. - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33375424

- Yesterday they decided to throw up a big modal advertisement for a bulk plan at login, even to paying customers. Note that they chose NOT to do this for the aforementioned privacy-weakening change. - https://old.reddit.com/r/ProtonMail/comments/yj5m59/pm_visio...
> Lockdown may be a temporary solution. The long-term solution is to maintain better hygiene (masks, washing hands) and get the vaccine without turning into political drama all over Twitter.

Outside of China, how many countries continued a lockdown solution after vaccines became widely available (in that country)? Some countries at least pursued split lockdowns where vaccinated people were completely free.
Get off your high horse, you are wrong here.

> If you get this error, you intentionally broke your browser,

What I did was that I went into browser's preferences and set "geo.enabled" to false.

> Note that the site absolutely requires some form of geolocation to work at all.

Oh, please, I am perfectly capable of finding my village on the globe by hand.
You invented some weird strawman about how great China is and that's why they need to lockdown (1.2 Billion people or something). I'm pointing out that the reason they're locking down is because their science sucks and as a result the vaccine doesn't work, so Covid is still a thing there when it isn't in the West because we have working vaccines and also a lot of people with natural immunity.
I have its definitely something that I am thinking about but not on the roadmap yet. If I get enough requests for it, Ill probably prioritise it more.
Some people here in HN said that the pandemic would normalise using masks - the way things are now every time I see someone wearing a mask I can’t help but think that they are ill and infectious; it’s very very rare.

So glad that we are back to the way it was.
Down from peak but $500M monthly volume across 200K users is not bad really. This dashboard isn't tracking other chains and L2s, like Reddit's avatars that just crossed $10M sales volume.

This reminds me of a very curious feature of GPT-3. Whenever you ask it for a joke, no matter the way you set up the prompt, and so long as it has free reign to tell the joke, it will almost always give the chicken crossing the road joke.

But that's not all. If you pressure it into giving another joke, then it will give this anti-joke that appeared exactly once on Yahoo Answers many years ago. I don't remember the exact wording, but it's something like "A man went into a bar and ordered a beer. The bartender said, 'You're out of luck. We've been closed for fifteen minutes.'" When you search on Google for the joke (when you have the exact wording) you'll find that the Internet has been poisoned by this Yahoo Answer. I like to think that this is the joke.
This "5d chess" stuff is approaching the level of faith that qanon followers have - nothing is ever wrong, everything is always going according to The Plan, when it deviates it's because The Plan has changed and you weren't informed, Hillary was arrested and sent to gitmo but unfortunately she was cloned, etc, etc.

Look, he's spitballing ideas and playing it a little fast and loose. It may pay off, it might not - it looks a little stupid to some of us on account of how much he's paid for the company, but it shouldn't really surprise anyone and he doesn't need anyone making excuses for him.
Give 1 to me please :)
Here in the Netherlands, it may not be policy, but a large number of people just don't care anymore. People with symptoms like coughing and changing tone of voice are still going to school, work and parties. No one wears masks except for some tourists or other foreigners. When planning an event, not a single moment is thought about COVID.
I was looking for a lazy man's view - a map of all the super emitters of methane with color gradients or size coded spots. I was disappointed that it was purely technical and aimed at those who work in the field.
Not sure what you're trying to get to, paywall or not, it has nothing to do with journalistic integrity.
For all we know, this could already be happening. Every digital image produced yesterday could have been AI-generated for all anyone knows. The original artist in this story could already be using AI to create their own work. Of course, I don't actually believe that's what's happening in this case, but the fact that it could means it's probably impossible to return this genie to its lamp.
This is the reason you are not the one writing policies. How would wearing gloves help? You are not getting ill from having COVID on your hands.
> After falling about 0.15 kilometers (0.002% of the way to earth's center), you encounter about 20 atmospheres of air pressure

How on earth does this work? The Dead Sea is 0.4 kilometers below sea level and air pressure is about the same as it world wide.
I also recommend this. It seems that some accounts departments are authorised to play absurd games with long delays but they aren't authorised to cost the company more money. They will complain about late fees but everyone likes a discount, right?
> In the past people have been harsh to call me ill informed for not being up to date on all things media, but to what end does this actually benefit the individual? My argument is that it’s mostly a detriment given the state of the world.

News like NYT, TWP, WSJ is just partisanship, it isn't something people should take seriously. Even the factual reporting on those sites is selective, they will deliberately leave out certain details in order to reach a political end. At the same time, I still read them to figure out what they're trying to obscure or distract people with, that in itself is interesting and entertaining

Things like AP/reuters or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Current_events are much more reliable for knowing about actual events
I find the cognitive dissonance on emissions stunning: we've made basically no effort to cut emissions for over 40 years, now people are shocked that there are a LOT of emissions happening. WTF did anyone expect? The power of people to believe "someone else is fixing it even though there is no reason they would" is incredible.
>they wasted enough of my time and energy.

compared to the myriad of ads plastered everywhere. I suppose the latter has just been normalized - yet the amount of 'energy' (as in joules; or as in human frustration) is unparalleled compared to the one spent on unwanted calls, or just calls.
Immediately reminded me of this "Bottomless well" article that explains this exact scenario: https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.261068/page/n7...

Spent many hours with this 2-volume book "Physics for Entertainment" by Ya Perelman as a kid, and now I'm motivated to go back and read it all over again!

A lot of these Russian science/math/fiction books were available at very low cost during the '80s in India.
> No, since it's not a derived work.

but why is the set of numbers in a matrix considered derived?

I can trivially derive the number pi.

My original point is that just because something contains the information does not imply that it violates copyright.
I looked up the vessel mentioned in the article (USCGC Oliver Henry) to get an idea of how large it was. It led me to the Wikipedia entry for the namesake Coast Guardsman himself, Oliver Henry.

Henry started serving in the Coast Guard as a mess steward, which was an all-black rating while the armed forces were still segregated. Due to his his pre-service work as an auto mechanic, he was the first Coast Guardsman to transfer from the mess steward rating to a motor machinist mate. He ended his career as a warrant officer.

The mess steward rating has been renamed to "culinary specialist". Clearly it's no coincidence this particular boat was chosen to reflect this interesting article. His Wikipedia entry is worth a read:

Speaking from personal experience, if you have to spell your domain for people, you will regret it!

Also - have separate email stacks for communications and operations. Like it or not, your email is a low-friction way to get access to many of your other accounts, and maybe even a good way to LOSE access to some of your accounts. Your operational email domain should never be published, only used to register accounts and maybe do alerting, etc. You would whitelist senders. You would never use it to say anything, or associate with anyone, that someone might one day find offensive or controversial.
The question should be, how to not see a satellite. Even looking up for 3 minutes I can see at least one satellite flying over on a clear night. For context, this is rural, south-west France (Lot-et-Garonne) with little to no light pollution.
Yes, but that was due to Brexit.

.eu domains may only be registered to a person or entity that exists within the EU. As soon as Brexit crystallised any British person or entity owning a .eu domain was unable to renew it unless they had an address they legally occupied within an EU country.

I know a few companies who rented a small amount of office space in France so that they could retain their .eu domain.
Maybe a piece of https://duckduckgo.com/q=thermal+interface+pad could do instead? They come in various thickness.

Depending on where the coils are located, and if they are in some sort of airstream or not, I'd try that. But only in one piece, not several layered above each other.

Could result in dampening the whine, or eliminating it altogether, and better cooling. By pressing on the coil on one side, and some part of the inner casing on the other.
From memory it was making the magazines non-power-of-two and some very simple page coloring heuristics. I'm sure it wasn't very optimal and many a PhD could still be had studying allocators, but it got the acceptance testing over the line.
There is no reason to legally treat humans and algorithms the same way. Only insane, moronic singularitarians claim otherwise.
