> Demand is increasing due to the college wage premium, which keeps widening with no end in sight even despite Covid and online learning.

> The college wage premium is the number one culprit for all these problems . For whatever reason, employers derive enough benefit from college grads to pay them waaaayyy more than high school grads

That may be true. But there's an easy fix: any job requirements that ask for any college degree (e.g. "a 4 year degree" not "a BS in chemical engineering") should be illegal.

Honestly, I don't really understand why they aren't already: they clearly violate the 4/5ths rule. And it's hard for me to believe that some enterprising lawyer hasn't already brought suit under this theory.
I was contemplating a visit there for work.

14 day quarantine in a state hotel, you're not allowed to leave the room. A further 7 day quarantine in another hotel though you're allowed to leave for work. Crazy.
I can respect the paranoia around ensuring bit-accurate rips of CDs with little-if-any existing metadata on the web.

I remain suspicious of the cargo cult of EAC as doing something substantially different than cdrtools or anything else that knows the ins-and-outs of the redbook format
Mostly because of TV streaming services though. I wonder how much BT is of consumer backbone usage.
I've experienced this when some of my personal projects made it on HN and Reddit. While they were 90% positive experiences, it was also a lesson in patience to refrain from correcting people who made drive-by criticisms and assumptions that were factually wrong, which they'd know if they had worked in the same domains the projects exist in or had read the READMEs.

Even then, those were good experiences, because it let me appreciate and discern between constructive criticism and criticism from those who don't really care and just want to complain on the internet.
Does that include TAs and faculty?
Installing battery banks to last longer and longer has an increasing cost, so you start to run out of batteries to fill during high production times. At a certain point hydrogen should get cheaper per watt to soak up production.
Probably not because one Apple IIc is more or less entirely fungible with every other Apple IIc.

While each Stratocaster is much less fungible with other Stratocasters, which is why new Stratocasters to vintage specs makes sense.

Also, the market for musical gear is very different from the electronics market. A guitar from the 1970’s is still fit for purpose to a degree a 1970’s computer isn’t because the measure of the guitar is musical sound and the measure of a computer is whatever.

Finally, the market for used musical gear is much much larger and more liquid.
In my experience, electric kettles are reasonably common in America.
Moisture vaporators...
> the consequences of that tank puncturing are a lot worse than a regular gasoline tank

Are they? Hydrogen should float up, up, and away. Just don’t store it indoors.
> comparatively expensive operation (CPU and memory)

Which is good, because it means higher cost of middle boxes

> But if you’re able to get packets out of one, what’s stopping you from getting the whole stream out that network?

It's practically impossible, unless the MITM box were setup very close to both ends on the edge. In real world packets were routed slightly different, the server might have several IPs or CDNs, so if your middlebox were placed in backbone it will be useless as packets were transfered out-of-order and not in the same stream.

> just encrypting the information which also blinds the network operator

Yes, but the network operator was sure every information is inside one exact stream, just with a thick layer of protection, state-of-the-art classifiers are able to match metadata patterns to the individual websites, so protocol designers would then take huge amount of time to fight it. You either have a very fast TTFB protocol, or you'd have to add some padding redundancy (noise) to disguise the metadata. By metadata I mean packet length and frequency pattern.
or an induction stove. I had an induction cooktop, moved and ended up with a gas cooktop again - I was astonished at how much slower and overall worse it was than induction. I quickly replaced the gas with induction and am now enjoying it once again. The only downside for induction is you have to have induction ready cookware - but really it's not that hard these days. Cookware and more has all-clad seconds and if you sign up for their email newsletter they run a sale - buy one, get a second 50% off - it's how I built my collection. Made In is a medium quality alternative - made in Italy. For affordability, Tramontina is surprisingly good. You can find it at Walmart, Costco and other places. It's not quite as dense as Made In or All Clad but any clad cookware is way better than anything with a damn disk in it.

Call me naive but if such a viable hydrogen engine such as the one being described in the article is here, wouldnt it be just as easy (or easier) shift focus to building out more renewable energy infrastructure than to try and mine the earth for the lithium required to power everybody’s car?

If anything, this hydrogen technology should be the excuse we need to immediately focus on renewable power buildout.

The CCP doesn’t care about people dying. If it did you wouldn’t have stories of people starving to death, suicide, 3 years old suffocating, children being separated from families, animals beaten to death, etc.

> As an adult, it's very difficult to reconstruct the same kind of social network once it has been broken.

This describes my parents' situation perfectly. We are a family of migrants, my parents were very social and had a big network of friends back in their home country. Even since we moved here, they became insular, and never made many long term friends. In fact, they are pretty much alone and not very happy in their older age.
> This is the same flawed logic that claims that Bitcoin is really centralized.

Except it isn't because centralization-decentralization is not a binary discrete variable but a continuous one. There's a reason the trilemma exists and you score on each axis. No coin is at any extreme.

If that were true then the Chinese government would have approved the vastly superior mRNA vaccines by now.
Yes, this may be true to some extent, but high IQ is still highly predictive of success at life by all sorts of metrics. Things like educational attainment, income, recognition/acclaim, career advancement, creative output, etc. Yeah, most genius-IQ people do not accomplish much compared to someone like Einstein, but still more than the general population in the aggregate. Feynman's 125 score has never been corroborated, nor is there any description of the type of IQ test. It's reasonable to assume Feynman's quantitative abilities were many standard deviations above average. Outside of entertainment and sports, it would seem like successful people tend to be high IQ, like a high IQ is necessary condition. As the article itself says "Given these findings, it seems likely that intelligence is a necessary, but not sufficient, condition for great creative achievements." I wish it was not this way but this is what the evidence at least suggests.
> Microsoft does not interview like that [...] Neither does Amazon

This is straight up wrong. Both companies ask difficult algorithms questions in their interviews.
In many countries, (incl. US), you can ride a moped with just a car license. The registration is greatly simplified compared to car and insurance wouldn't be that much.
Bluechecks stopped being about verification a long time ago, when it became clear Twitter wouldn't verify people with the wrong kind of opinions, and when they vindictively started to deverify accounts as punishment. That proves it was not about identity verification at all but about the in-group.

I have no doubt there is some hysteria going around, but it is entirely unfounded. If anything, you can expect fanatic lefties to false flag abuse to create that impression because that's exactly their style.
It's definitely unclear what "inaccurate" means in this sense?

Is an entire track inaccurate if a single sample is inaccurate? In that case then yeah, rather than measuring some level of audio purity, this is measuring your likelihood of getting a perfect rip before taking CD condition into account.
I read one book at a time. I think it was a case of I spent so much time watching movies and playing games, I wanted to do something else for a change. Now it's more of a conscious choice – I choose to read as opposed to watch or play. Not to say I never watch or play, but I usually do more of that when I'm between books. I try to read for ~3-6 hours.

A group or community that has some arms is definitely in a better position than a loner with an arsenal. A group with an arsenal and good social skills to make alliances with other groups, and the tactical abilities to acquire whatever they lack and defend themselves from others, will be in the best position.

There's probably an ideal minimum of ammo to go with the guns. But more ammo is better.
Don't most of the major automakers electric vehicles compare reasonably to Tesla?

Like Tesla likely has better costs on their batteries, but that doesn't represent a whole lot when the other automakers have only recently started to invest in that production.

And for example, the F-150 Lighting isn't at huge volume, but it's more available than ye olde Cybertruck.
That’s the most impressive part of all— the neocons got the Dems to (enthusiastically) carry out their insane foreign policy predicated on desperately maintaining US hegemony AND making the Dems pay the price for it at the polls.

AI is a developing technology that stands to be used by powerful businesses and governments for all manner of purposes that will likely drastically impact our lives. It's important to criticize what could become the next industrial revolution, and make sure we can get rid of as many systemic issues as possible before they become too big to fix.

And many people do criticise the biases of legacy media groups on both sides. But this is an article about AI on a site that is generally more concerned with technical innovations than societal issues, so AI is being criticized.

Besides, bad things existing now isn't really a good argument for why we shouldn't prevent bad things from happening in the future.

From what I Understand, hydrogen is fiendishly difficult to transmit.

It can be stored OK, but getting it from Point A, to Point B, is difficult, because of the small atoms. Couplings tend to leak like hell.
Kenji's 3-ingredient mac and cheese is a masterpiece. It's become the go-to meal for my kids. It also has to be the peak in energy efficiency for pasta.

The idea is that by minimizing the water you can maximize the starchiness of the water, which creates a great emulsifier for the cheese sauce, along with evaporated milk. The combo is truly creamy mac and cheese, with no grittiness or separation of oils. It tastes great, it's faster than Kraft, it's energy efficient, it's easy to learn (literally 3 ingredients plus water).

It also has easy-to remember-units (6 oz pasta, 6 oz cheese, 6 fl oz evap milk). The evap milk amount perfectly divides the USA standard 12 fl oz evap milk can.

Kenji has tweaked the ergonomics of scratch mac and cheese light years ahead of where it was.
The Apple Store near me told me that the 14 Plus sold less than even the 13 Mini. Which is kind of wild to me, I thought most wanted bigger phones and huge batteries, which is why the Mini line was killed. I say that as someone who thinks the 13 Mini is the best phone I’ve ever owned, but I always figured it was niche compared to huge phones
Some schools do compete on price… to be the most expensive. I distinctly remember a small NE college president bragging about being the most expensive
Unfortunately not all CD drives report C1/C2 errors correctly for audio data from a red book CD which is why you have to do external comparisons (see also AccurateRip) and some discs have fake C2 data as a means of copy protection or sometime the C2 data is just un-reliable.
That's fanciful, but I disagree, Chris Poole was getting old and didn't want to be stuck in a career as an admin running a scary hellsite with no path to profitability as it was time consuming so he sold it for profit, did a quick spit-shine of his reputation with a media tour, spun it all as some big free speech experiment and landed a job at google.

If he really had a problem with depictions of minors in hentai he would have done something about it a long time ago.

For countries that import LNG as source of power now, there's a future in shipping h2 as ammonia and converting it to hydrogen on the other end. Places with lots and sun, lots of ocean and existing LNG infrastructure are in a good place to assist in this transformation.
An argument in favor of partisan primaries is that it allows parties to pick the candidates that best represent the party platform. Supposedly.

The discussion that is more cogent in my opinion is ballot security.

This is not only the chain of custody of ballots throughout the life cycle, but also the security of the voter marking and casting the ballot. Mail-in ballots offer vast opportunity for voter coercion. Which is why a polling place is really the proper answer for almost all voters.

This is both a huge issue for election credibility, and something that the less serious voices are entirely too glib about.
The college wage premium is either reversing or pretty much gone by now. Plumbers and landscapers out-earn English and History majors now. It's only degrees that prepare you for specialized fields that still have an edge.
> there is no essential use for a kettle

electric kettle

french press for coffee

tea kettle for tea
They can only get away with this crap due to government subsidized student loans. Remove the artificial inflation of cheap government money and this crap would self-correct overnight.

Even better - make colleges guarantee loans. If people can't get a job after 2 years of graduation make the schools start making the loan payments until they do get a job. BS degrees would dry up overnight too.
I have a pretty nice electric kettle. You can set it to a number of common tea temperatures and it'll hold that temp for up to a half hour. I got it as a wedding gift. I use it about weekly.

If it broke tonight I don't know that I'd bother replacing it tomorrow. I'd probably go a while before I got another kettle. It might even take someone gifting me one before I bother getting one.

Sure, it's marginally faster boiling water than my stove. It's about as fast as my microwave (which is insane at 1650W). It's definitely more efficient, but the break even on that is measured in years probably for even a cheap kettle and decades for this fancy one I have.

I just don't really drink many hot drinks and my microwave does just about as good of a job for getting things hot.

I agree that a Condorcet counting process would give better outcomes than the IRV one that is usually proposed, you're right, but I think that both are unintuitive, in the sense that if you handed someone a set of ranked ballots and asked them to calculate the winner, they would not be able to come up with a system on their own. In fact, even if you told them what the process should be, they probably wouldn't be able to remember it and implement it correctly.

This lack of transparency/legibility between the voting process and the results it produces is just the sort of thing that undermines people's confidence in elections, and that makes it an easy target for those who oppose reform, or who just want to undermine faith in an outcome that didn't go their way. We only have to look at the 2011 UK referendum on introducing the "Alternative Vote" system (their name for IRV) where the Prime Minister said in the national press that "It’s a puzzling mess of preferences, probabilities and permutations."[0]

I support any reform that is offered to replace FPTP, but advocates need to be really careful that they don't tie themselves to a proposal that is open to such attacks, and then poisons the well for years to come, preventing other more understandable or more representative reforms from being offered (as happened in the UK).

If your definition of efficiency encompasses change within the entire universe, you could say that everything has an efficiency of 0% because matter and energy cannot be created or destroyed.

Back in reality, the purpose of a heat pump is to heat/cool an enclosed space. Its efficiency is rated by comparing it to a direct conversion from electricity to heat. So long as what occurs outside doesn't affect what occurs inside, it isn't relevant to the question of efficiency.
The distribution mechanism for electric vehicles isn't a solved problem either though: during holidays, with millions of people driving their cars on the highways, we're going to need really beefy charging stations with electric power supply comparable to small cities, and that means building lots of infrastructure that doesn't exist yet. This isn't a theoretical problem (we know exactly what to do), but is a serious practical one.

Completely understandable, EAC is certainly not the only software capable of using accurate stream features on CD drives or doing AccurateRip DB comparisons. Making bit-perfect archival rips is more about soundness of "the process" than the software you do it with, EAC is just one such tool.

Though I won’t disagree that there is a political element to it, I do believe China wants to minimize deaths (not exclusively).

Furthermore if you look at the number of physicians and hospitals, particularly in rural China, it’s clear they wouldn’t be able to effectively vaccinate nor treat the sick anyway.

Again, I do not believe zero Covid is a strategy that can be sustained, but I think for China it made sense for some period of time (though personally I think that time has passed).
Yep, hydrogen is so small it can diffuse through most solids and find the tiniest of gaps, and it requires high pressure or cryo double walled storage. Very cool if it can be made to work though!
Interesting, I never realized that fields weren't algebras!
> Many decades ago people stopped iterating on nuclear. There is no law of nature that says nuclear can't get cheaper by a factor of 100. It's just technology.

This is patently untrue, countless billions have been spent on molten salt and molten sodium reactors. Almost as much has been spent on various breeder reactors that don't work or have never been used for breeding like Superphenix, IFR and the BN program as was spent on the entire PV revolution (except PV as actually generated some power with their subsidies unlike breeder programs). More time and money spent on fission just reveals more ways it is dangerous and reveals previously hidden costs of keeping them safe.

If you want an undeveloped technology that will improve with investment go put a single nuclear reactor's worth of money into tidal.

I worked at a company with a senior (Ex Amazon old dude with a PhD in com-sci and math) coder who every day would update an internal blog about the code he had written that day.

Although it was occasionally a bit difficult to search, it turned out to be amazing documentation for the code he was written. Just volumes of text about what was a fairly complicated subsystem involving machine learning and a bunch of stuff like that.

It gave an insight into the thinking process of someone with 30 years of experience solving some insanely complicated problems, but he insisted it was mostly for his own benefit to organize and clarify his thoughts about a giant project that was changing rapidly as business pressures piled on (The joys of startups).

I really ought do the same.
