You can offset this by keeping the vertical fridge or freezer full of bottled waters if you don't use all the space. It actually makes it easier for the fridge to maintain temperature since the thermal mass inside is higher. The bottles take up the volume that would otherwise be cold air. The bottles help a bit obstructing the outflow of cold air as well.
Yes, but you don't tend to get fired on permanent contracts to begin with and it's much more enticing to find something new especially considering work-life balance is very very good, I work maybe 24 hours at most with my company explicitly putting your personal life before work because a healthy employee is a healthy employer. You also still pay taxes over the 50% income you're receiving and taxes are high, so it pushes you to find something new -eventually-.
UN chief warns ‘we will be doomed’ without historic climate pact at Cop27
I am not a professional coder, just an amateur. Following the example of LISP, and even lambda-calculus, I was able to build a text editor with a programming language, working on any web browser: http://lambdaway.free.fr/lambdawalks/ , that I use daily to compose quite complex documents containing code evaluated in realtime. I would not have even thought of undertaking such an exercise without the existence of LISP.
"Conservative" government.
I disagree. The internet has increased the reach of individuals by many orders of magnitude: we (humanity) are experiencing the consequences of something we're not equipped for, but that isn't the fault of Twitter or Facebook, it's a consequence of the internet connecting us all.

What, specifically, has Twitter done, that has been a negative influence on the culture? If you look at, say, Donald Trump, he was across the internet being divisive in every venue he could get his hands on, from Facebook to Reddit... and outside of the internet too, on Fox News and the like.

If we went back 2 decades and put all of humanity on a bbs or newsgroup instead, you'd have the same outcome.
> ISG formed a special working group to investigate and consider these claims. Charles Duelfer, head of inspectorate at time of publication, summarized the group's conclusion: "Based on the evidence available at present, ISG judged that it was unlikely that an official transfer of WMD material from Iraq to Syria took place. However, ISG was unable to rule out unofficial movement of limited WMD-related materials."

Right, very solid.
Clearly baiting people to respond. You most likely intended Bush Clinton or Clinton Bush (which sounds better), instead of Bush Gore.

Alien Life: A Dream of Discovery Finds New Hope
This would actually make a cool coworking space.

In Moscow, there's a city train line called MCC (Moscow Central Circle) which you can hop on for around $1 and just sit there all day. There are power sockets and Wi-Fi, and on stations there are vending machines with snacks and coffee. It's cozy and helps concentrate on things (for me at least).

For the train geeks: the trains used there are a regional version of Siemens Desiro, called Lastochka which is Russian for the bird swallow.
> OODA loop doesn’t have that.

Feels pretty 1:1 to me. Both work to define a model & state (shared observe), both seek to identify ways to improve the model and/or state (orient/hypothesize), both take real world action to secure those improvements (do/act/test), both have ongoing feedback.

OODA may be more rapid and strategically oriented (haha), but they’re doubtless the same methodical approach at the end of the day.

I claim it’s scientific method having multiple pen names simply because scientific method is older than PDSA & OODA from late ‘50s. If OODA loop came from Sun Tzu, I’d say it’s all OODA loop pen names.

But that's not how a fridge works. It runs seldomly, but when it does run it consumes at least dozens of Watts.
>Who's paying it?

Very rich people and large companies, generally.
They've been running the Siemens Charger locomotives for a little while, and are phasing out the GE Genesis locomotives (which are at end-of-life) as new Chargers are delivered.

The new trainsets are the Siemens Venture cars. Brightline in Florida is already running a version of them - their cars are set up for high platforms only (all their stations have high platforms). The Amtrak cars will work with both high & low platforms, as the older stations on their network still have low platforms (passengers need to step up into the cars)

Almost all users likely just need automated moderation through reputation (like my HN karma, or StackOverflow reputation, where a certain score is required for certain actions) for most their tweets.

To combat viral fake news, the top 0.001% of users could have manual reviews, as should viral tweets that are about to explode into reaching hundreds of millions of users. Having a manual moderation queue for any tweet that has grown from 0 to 100M rewtweets in a certain time frame, as well as for everything tweeted by users with X million followers, would be quite a low cost.

We have alredy seen some of this where Twitter has manually labeled information as being false, from e.g. Donald Trump. I doubt they'd give that treatment to any of my claims to 20 followers, and nor would they have to. Because what I write simply doesn't have the same importance when I have 20 followers.

Eventually in the end, you do need the ivory tower with the ministry of truth saying exactly what is and isn't acceptable. Should Rogan's Covid conspiracy tweet be blocked? Given a warning label? Or allowed to spread? That would have to depend on the level of harm it can cause. There can't be a "marketplace of ideas" where everyone is forced to make their own judgement and where all content is acceptable. Not just because US conservatives will find it hard to tweet, or because advertisers won't advertise, but because it'll have terrible signal to noise ratio for anyone, causing it to be pretty deserted.
Can you explain why? I haven't been fridge shopping in about 15 years, which probably means that I will have to sooner or later. That style seems more convenient to me, but I also value efficiency.
What an absolutely asinine situation. Attention all companies: don’t be at all surprised when your employees give fewer and fewer shits about you, your goals, and loyalty to any of it.
To be clear, I don't know anything about Ive's political or philosophical beliefs, so that is not what I'm talking about. I'm making an analogy based on the fact that both were very influential in their respective fields, on the similarities they had in their styles, and their willingness to put style over function.

Also let me say this explicitly, this is not an invitation to debate the merits of Ive, Ive's work, or any associated topics like Apple hardware more generally. I mean, you can have the debate, I can't stop you, but I also won't be participating.

Interesting. Running this in Firefox on my M1 MBP, I get the following results:

CPU: "Intel Mac OS X 10.15"
Memory: undefined
Screen: 1512x982

The CPU result is doubly incorrect, since a) it's not an Intel chip, and b) i'm running 12.5.1 instead of 10.15.

The screen value is correct if you double it, i guess this is measured in points instead of pixels...
> I struggle to apprehend the fanatic hatred of buybacks that's overwhelmed the national conversation in recent years. Buybacks seems like a rather benign and boring function of corporate finance to me.

It's not much of a struggle for me, I tend to agree with those that "hate" stock buybacks but maybe not so vehemently.

It's pretty simple to me. It breaks the social contract. The proper way to disburse excess funds that a company has no idea what to do with is via a dividend - which then gets taxed immediately. This is how investing is explained to the layman.

Stock buybacks are simply a tax avoidance scheme, the other properties of them are line noise are not material. It's not very difficult to understand why someone on a W2 salary would find this to be yet another incredibly unfair scheme against their best interests in favor of the investor class.

It wouldn't be huge, I once recorded a week of me using my pc(so around 80 hours in total), and it was sub-100 gigs. It was 1080p with decent quality, don't remember FPS though.
Is my maths right here? He claims that the average fridge in average home is
1kwh per day (quick google suggests is correct #). And he claims to run his on 0.1kwh. So roughly roughly thats 1kwh per day saving.

If everyone in Uk (about 25 million households) used his fridge it would save

25m kwh / day is 25 GWh / day or 9125 Gwh or

9Tera Wh

per year?

UK uses 300 Tera Wh per year of elec. (UN source from datacommons.org)

So changing fridges will save 1/30 of electrical use.

Just how much of an argument is there for funding a "not so optional"
change to peoples lifestyles and domestic arrangements?

That's a charming idea, the question is how far away does your friend live? If it's too far, the upstream bandwidth of residential internet can be a problem during a restore.
Perhaps a transparent door, inside the main insulating door. So people could open the fridge and stare slack jawed without letting all the cold out. Condensation blocking the view would be an issue I suppose.
If it paid well then yes I would work under those conditions. I don't have to stay at a job for life, I can put in extra work to earn extra money and then quit when the schedule or environment no longer suits me. I'd much rather have that option than be stuck in some crappy unionized shop where everything moves at a glacial pace, get underpaid, and have it be nearly impossible to find another job because all other workplaces are the same and no one is hiring, firing or growing.
JPEG XL can be fully implemented in 50-150 kB, and now you tell that AVIF implementations in browsers at 500+ kB are bare minimum subsets.

In the winter, when it's quite cold out, I often wonder why I'm paying to make cold air when there is free cold air available outside. What about a fridge that takes in air from outdoors?

Meh, Morgan Stanley has had bigger losses. How much of it is actually their money anyway? My guess is the losses will be passed down to the individuals who gave MS the $$$. Morgan probably bundled it all up, made a nice fee, and passed it on to Musk.
Sounds like an interesting idea for reducing energy consumption. Homes already have air ducts for washers/driers. Why can't be something for fridges too? Home fridges are almost never moved anyway.
OG Pebble is how many years old now? (EDIT: ten. Ten years old.) Modern hardware rarely lasts that long, but this one does; my wife is still happily using it, and it is still better than Apple Watch in terms of UX / actually useful functionality.

A bunch of things that make sense about banning spam and spammy behaviour and then the payload: How banning discussion of the lab leak hypothesis back then made sense and wasn't politically motivated.

Of course it wasn't about the content, of course. Neither was Hunter's laptop story ban about the content, no, of course not.

Give me a break.
Yep ;-)
Yes, you do die of thirst if lost at sea. You can't drink the water, and if you do it just makes you thirsty/sick.

Please watch the documentary "Pain Warriors" to see what is happening
to people with Chronic Pain and the other side of the "Opioid
Epidemic".

"Pain Warriors" is NOT a warm and fuzzy movie to watch. It is five
stories, two being suicides one of which was my late wife Karen.

It is also a good example of how today's Medical Establishment fails
people. In Karen's case each doctor did what they thought was in her
best interests, and I have no issue with any of them. Yet the system
as a whole killed her.

"Pain Warriors" can be watched for free on Amazon Prime, and TubiTV.
It is also on iTunes, Google Play and Veimo for international viewers.

I receive no remuneration from the documentary. I'm simply trying to
raise awareness of obscure conditions like Intracranial Hypotension
due to Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Leaks. As well as raise awareness of
how broken the Medical Establishment can be if you have an obscure
condition or Rare Disase.
Plz donate the ham to me then :)
Your experience made me wonder how that blocking stands up against accessibility legal requirements in various countries.

The first amendment is not the end-all and be-all of 'free speech'.

Heck, the literal phrasing is "Congress shall not abridging the freedom of speech". The fact that congress is mentioned means that others can also abridge the freedom of speech.

Note that 'abridge' means diminish in scope. If your boss says "If you say ducks are nice, you will be fired" that affects your freedom of speech. It isn't a first-amendment issue unless your boss is the government. But it remains someone inhibiting your speech.
> A 'date me' profile feels like the opposite -- trying to get a bunch of data on someone before actually interacting with them in person. I think this is completely backwards and we need to lean in far more into IRL experiences.

I don't think so at all.

The thing about meeting IRL is that you get a ton of context just by how you meet. Where did you meet? How were they dressed? Were they with friends; what are their friends like?

And sure, there's a difference between online and IRL. But a big part of that is driven by the inherent structure of online dating. Without any sort of filters, there's nothing to stop extreme "r" style daters from drowning everyone else out.

> They aren't. We're nowhere even close. To the point where I can't even envision how that could happen.

We are pretty close - Mastercard and Visa's (non-public) BRAM rules are pretty clumsy and arbitrary, and effectively do have a tremendous impact on global speech as they are effectively a duopoly. Their terms apply to essentially every business that requires any revenue, and therefore any platforms that people might want to speak on.

That is a problem. A terrible one. And they abuse it.
I must confess that I am finding it difficult to muster sympathy for them. And this coming from a man that despises Musk's behaviour, and wished he had been barred from buying Twitter. My reason being that during the pandemic, I repeatedly told people that my biggest fear was not the virus, but the economic collapse that would be the inevitable result of global lockdowns, and the authoritarian dystopia being shaped by the censorship of contrarian views. "First you are working from home, and then you are just... at home.", I said. And people who tried to share that view on Twitter where harassed and banned. Perhaps I will be proven wrong, and the economy will quickly rebound, who knows. But being gagged from even discussing the possibility of the events we now see unfolding, has left me with a bad taste in my mouth.

Watching twitter ban dissenting doctors and scientists reminded me of Hannah Arendt and the Eichman trial: "The most radical revolutionary will become a conservative the day after the revolution"

And this from a NYT movie review:

"Arendt concluded that evil in the modern world is done neither by monsters nor by bureaucrats, but by joiners. That evil, Arendt argued, originates in the neediness of lonely, alienated bourgeois people who live lives so devoid of higher meaning that they give themselves fully to movements. It is the meaning Eichmann finds as part of the Nazi movement that leads him to do anything and sacrifice everything. Such joiners are not stupid; they are not robots. But they are thoughtless in the sense that they abandon their independence, their capacity to think for themselves, and instead commit themselves absolutely to the fictional truth of the movement."
You missed his recent pro-Russian plan for Ukraine and subsequent blackmailing over Starlink.

I do both. The dating landscape has changed, or so it seems. I time capsuled for 10 years (2 long-term relationships that happened quickly one after another). Imagine my shock when I noticed many people are online now. I meet people IRL (actually right now I just met someone on the train :P). But it really does have a different feel to it nowadays.
What an atrocious way of treating staff.
What's the problem? Moderation means people are forcibly made to leave, but just as often they'll leave voluntarily. And lack of moderation will also cause people to leave. You'll never be able to moderate in a way that doesn't cause people to be angry and leave. If you try, you'll cause other people to be angry (or annoyed by spam, etc.) and leave. Users leaving isn't a failure.
Honestly never seen this in the supermarkets I frequent. The slidey glass panels on top of the actual chest freezers on the other hand.. feels like every time I visit some customer left one open, but I've seen shops have automatically closing ones which is very fun if you have a hand full and want to fetch something with just one hand.. or god forbid you're not very tall.
Well, I technically still blog in that I run a news site that I post on regularly.

But as for why I don't run a personal blog... well there a few reasons really:

1. I'm not sure how to brand it. I have no interest in becoming an 'influencer' under my real name, and it's hard to choose a domain name or brand if you don't have a memorable name or pseudonym.

2. I'm an utter perfectionist, so every time I consider creating a personal blog I think about how it should be designed, coded, etc rather than the content to post there.

3. I dislike letting other people host my work on their services, so no Substack or Medium anymore. My opinion is that if someone takes offence with something I say (or has another legal issue), there should be no third party that can 'solve' those problems behind my back. But that also means effort when I want to use anything that can be self hosted, since it means setting up a domain/subdomain, hosting directory, email, etc.

4. Other things take priority.
I didn't expect to lose a cousin on a business trip to the US (Michigan) 6 years ago either. Life is full of surprises.
Don’t forget his initial support for Ukraine and then his attempted about face with star link terminals. I’m very curious why all of that intrigue seems to have dried up. How did Musk know the Crimean peninsula was dry and needed water guarantees from Ukraine? It’s weird and i believe the critics, he actually talked to Putin and felt like a big man so he started shilling for russian “peace”.

I thought he was just a lucky cult like futurist before but now I think of him as what he truly is - a billionaire narcissist that craves adulation from the mob.
I never wanted one to go anywhere, I've always wanted one for a tiny house / social space on my property. They always struck me as a perfect option for a unique cabin. I know there are old rail car hotels, but I've never seen one that epitomizes the pullman luxury.
Shipping container homes are a marvel of modern-day architecture. Can anything be more sustainable than recycling an entire shipping container? It’s not a new idea, but many creative designers and studios have taken it to the next step.
Brazilian here. This explanation is indeed lacking. You cannot look at social media platforms in an isolate manner: there is overlap between users, and it's not like all users are equal - a small minority (which accepts new entrants through viral tickets) is the one with more weigh on creating/disseminating content. Saying whatsapp is dominant is a little lacking: it has the greatest number of users, DAO, etc, yes... But whatsapp is more fore social-bubbles: it's hard to interact with people you don't know (unless you join a group, but then again you will only be there if it's accessible through your bubble); and also there are no paid ads - we know there is an industry of fake newsvertisements where people PAY to establish top-down content by force.

So it goes something like this for a user, using a real anecdote as an example:

1) Get exposed to content they never seen before, like let's say "The UN in reality is run by satanist pedophiles". This is more likely to happen outside of one's bubble - therefore not on whatsapp.

2) Get exposed again and again, either to the content, or high-reach influencers, or ads, or a mixture of the 3.

3) Search google for "UN satanist pedophile". Now you can read "real theory" by "very legitimate people" in long form explaining the proofs, history, motivation, etc for the conspiracy.

4) Radicalization

5) Now you need validation for your behavior/beliefs.

6) You identify and approach or get approached by liked-minded lunatics.

7) They invite you to the whatsapp group "only for believers".

8) Now you feel part of a group and ready to "act".

9) You take part in a nazi rally [a]
