It's a balanced mechanical ventilation system with a heat exchanger and located in the attic. It pulls in fresh air via an inlet on the roof and then distributes it via a set of tubes to the various rooms. Similarly, it extracts stale air via other tubes from other rooms to the outside through an outlet elsewhere on the roof.

Both airflows pass the heat exchanger so the outgoing air can heat up the incoming air to minimize heat losses. These airflows are balanced, i.e. the various inlets/outlets in the rooms are calibrated so the total inflow matches the total outflow without the fans in the device having to run at different speeds.

An alternative system that is frequently used here is mechanical extraction while fresh air is pulled in 'naturally' via slits at the top of the window frames. This is obviously cheaper but has some disadvantages:

- The incoming air is cold and thus your heating system needs to work harder to keep the temperature constant.
- You can feel this cold air flowing in, typically around your feet and this can be uncomfortable.
- Less control over how much air flows in: a bit of wind outside can mean more (cold) air is blown into your house. There are sliders on these slits but they are manual so people either keep them open (resulting in more incoming air than strictly needed) or they close them (resulting in too little ventilation).
Good to know. I have very little experience with snow itself.

I figured it would be lighter due to all the things people said, but had no rule of thumb to go on. And I try to go by the principle of being wrong in the best way possible. And since I wasn't aware of the density difference, I figured it would be safest to ignore it. Because people kind of forget how fast water gets heavy.
The information collected isn’t great, but a large part of the concern is related to attention. Attention allows influence. For instance, the CCO could use TikTok to push conspiracy theories that undermine faith in the electoral system.

He ranks McIntosh poorly (the mind boggles, though I will admit that sometimes the skin can be a little tough) while ranking some of the most vile, cloying varieties rather highly. A palette spoiled by high fructose corn syrup? That would be one charitable guess for some of these rankings. Also, different apples have different culinary uses.

I am also sad to see the limited number of cultivars. The world doesn't begin and end with North America. Have a Papirovka/White Transparent or an Antonovka some time.
> The philosophy itself is solid.

For some things, yes. For ad-hoc stuff, composability is amazing. Once in awhile I need to use a wrench to fix my car, and I have a whole array of wrenches to accommodate most needs I have with that car. I would never drive the car with a wrench still in place holding something together, and that's what the Unix philosophy promotes: take all these small tools which each do their thing and create some larger "grander-purpose" software with them.

That works if you need to do a one-time (or at least infrequent) analysis of some raw text, but I have learned over and over to not rely on the passing of plain text between programs for anything that you need to work later on. Something always changes which breaks it. Always. Maybe not for a year, but some update happens which subtly changes the output of a command which breaks stuff down the line.

With typed data checking and compiled applications (the opposite of passing untyped text between individual tools) I can easily account for errors before they happen, and rely on tests which exercise these things, and gain significant performance improvements over piped single-purpose tools, in less time overall.
>Nah. They have already siphoned enough money through shell companies to buy many houses.

Is there any evidence of this? Sure, maybe wearing a t-shirt and flip-flops, driving a Corolla, and sleeping on beanbags is some sort of act to divert attention, but the simpler explanation is that he just fucked up. Not everything has to be a heist.
That's not how it works sadly, you can't just commit crimes and then just expect some sort of room service from law enforcement:

Ask HN: Would you accept a job offer in this economy?
They have assured me they are not facing layoffs, in fact they've been opening up recs since October.

They are in an industry that is somewhat recession proof, people and companies can not function without buying their product.

The base pay is less, but the promise of espp and stock grants would potentially double my take-home.

I'm still hesitant, obviously. My current employer is also pretty recession proof and has never had lay offs. If the pay and prestige were the same I'd stay here.

The crypto space is full of projects with empty promises of future profits. If you're an investor looking at crypto projects, you're seeing hundreds of crypto pitches every year that are never going anywhere.

Then Alameda comes along showing actual profits from their early trading operations. Someone who as actually figured out how to make money in the crypto world without selling their own tokens (yet). Compared to all of the other dead-end projects these investors get pitched every day, this seems like the golden child. Someone who is actually turning a profit. Investors want to put their money into the golden child's profit machine and get a piece of that action.

SBF was also very successful in turning his early successes into a lot of momentum and social proof. He played investors and influencers against each other by bringing them all on within a short span of time. When this happens, investors go into FOMO / "me too" mode and just throw their money into the momentum, assuming some other investors have probably done the due diligence already.
I got crushed percentage wise but only stuck a few hundred dollars in to P2P lending in the early 2000's before my state & many others made it illegal. I could understand the risk in that situation though.

With Crypto, I'm not sure if I do. To my understanding, you deposit money into a cryptocurrency, like ETH for example, in an exchange. The exchange then uses it as liquidity to allow other people to convert one cryptocurrency to another. Am I understanding this right? If so, it was my assumption that they were making 10% on transaction fees & rewarding you with 8% or something lower than 10%.

In that case, my risk/reward assumption was that many of them would raise/lower their rates based on the amount of transactions being done & how valuable the liquidity was to them. I saw that some exchanges did this in terms of months & others were constantly changing their rates.

Am I wrong in thinking that this is something that should be feasible to do without be a ponzi scheme? Of course there is extra risk based on how long the interest rate is fixed for if the market were to go down fast. I would assume banks are similar in the sense that you might buy a Certificate of Deposit (CD) or type of a bond and you get a fixed rate for a period of time. Your country's currency could drastically change or inflation could change. For most countries this isn't near as volatile though.
Tick, tick, tick. The doomsday clock for Tether just moved closer to midnight. When Tether finally depegs, all the exchanges will go under (except maybe Coinbase and a few others that are tightly regulated). Coinbase will probably still go bankrupt because the crypto trading market is going to evaporate. The value of most coins will go to zero. There will be a liquidity crisis the likes of which we haven't seen since the 19th century.

If you really need speed (high RPS) then Python is going to tap out at some point. Normally for line-of-business apps and most startups, developer productivity trumps raw perf IMO (obviously depends on the domain though).

There is some argument that you (or at least some developers) can be more productive with a strongly-typed ORM, but I think FastAPI / Django-ninja capture most of these benefits in the Python ecosystem so it’s not a big win in this dimension IMO.

But in summary it’s a perf vs productivity trade-off.
> these companies can't promise you 8% APY without essentially running a ponzi scheme

It doesn't mean its a ponzi, but certainly an 8% yield isn't a safe investment, there will be some liquidity/market/credit risk. Hopefully its just liquidity.
Slight correction there, you are not “paying with your tax money” thus expecting something from it. Paying to buy something assumes you willingly committed to the deal and had the option to back out. You did not have such an option so you may not expect or demand something in return for it.

Somewhat related: Oliver Burkeman has some interesting thoughts about time management and how people have this tendencies to schedule too much as a coping mechanism to deny their limitations around the time they have and how much they can accomplish given their constraints.

I didn't read any of his books, but heard him on Sam Harris' podcast/app and found his take interesting and stimulating reflection about my own behaviors. Certainly worth looking up, if you believe you might be affected by similar phenomenon.
I'm no doctor, but it makes sense why exercise is also prescribed for countering diabetes in that case. If organs and muscles are "hungrier" for glucose when routinely exercising it seems like it would regulate blood sugar levels.
And what are you going to do with it that isn’t based on it’s value relative to fiat currency?
"...Intense aerobic exercise increases the glucose (sugar) consumption of internal organs, thereby reducing the availability of energy to the tumor."

Interestingly, this is a key part of the medical argument for low-carbohydrate diets--that most human diseases are metabolic ones, including cancer, and that modern human diets are at the root of them. One discussion: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6375425/
Yeah, in the same sense that murder is banned. The ban gives you an excuse to punish people who violate the ban, but the ban doesn't stop people from doing it.

And if one country keeps their nuclear program, who's going to do the punishing? Sanctions don't work. Saying you're going to ban nukes is pointless dreaming. Why stop there? Why not endeavor to ban wars as well? Just wave your magic wand and ban all the bad things out of existence.
The government moves very slowly and basically waits until the problem is over before regulating it.
I think there's some truth in the old joke -- thank goodness the US system is so disorganized; it would be a frightening thing if were organized. One thing the Americans did get right was pluricentric power. Even their three letter agencies are constantly tripping each other up. And periodically providing oversight.

Really, if you go photographing near a military installation in any country you may bring the ire of the authorities down on you. "National security" gets overreactions everywhere. I wouldn't be too surprised if the RCMP showed up at my door here in Canada if I did a stunt like he's accused with the drone. Though I would expect to go free, in the end, if I actually complied with the laws.
> But in any case, what is "using" bitcoin?

> Is it purchasing bitcoin? ...how do I do that? I'd need to rely on the two mining companies, right? And the exchanges? Or not?

Transacting on the Bitcoin network: sending BTC from one party to another. There are more than two mining companies, otherwise Bitcoin's security model fails (see 51% attack). Of course, centralized exchanges are... centralized.

> And can I use bitcoin as currency in any shop? No? If I could, I'd be relying on the state to provide the same rights behind all economic transactions to enable, that right?

When people say that Bitcoin doesn't require trust, they don't mean that nothing requires trust anymore. They just mean that they don't have to trust a centralized party to run the Bitcoin network, because there is no such entity.

Beyond that, you indeed still need to trust the people you transact with or trust that you will be able to sue them if they scam you, etc.

> And what happens if the handful of "wales" decide to off-load their coins in the middle of my negotiation when I'm buying my tesla... suddenly, all my deflationary currency has been magically radically inflated by a cabal of SV billionaires.

Yes.

> Money isnt the kind of thing that "centralisation" even applies to in any coherent sense.

Yes it is. Even before Bitcoin, (de)centralization was used to contrast fiat money vs commodity money.

> The value of money, it's "use" in any sense, is subject to provision of economic systems by central authorities, and subject to wild forces of decentralisation and centralisation.

Yes. There is a risk that the use of Bitcoin could be outlawed by some governments, although it would be difficult to enforce in practice.
The reason medication is expensive is the FDA makes its crazy expensive to bring a drug to market. And the U.S. basically subsidizes the rest of the world's drug research.

If the U.S. paid what the rest of world did for drugs there would be a 90% less drug research.
So the bankruptcy of the US division will have US law, the others will according to their own jurisdictions.

> Multinationals going bankrupt seems like there will be issues about which group owns what and the various obligations between them.

Yes, which will be decided according to the bankruptcy law of the corp's incorporation, not the one it chooses. You are confusing choice of law with venue.

This is really great. A zero-installation CLJS notebook would have already been cool, and Maria has that, powered by (defcell). It also has the shape library, which makes playing around with higher-order functions more intuitive to understand than just seeing a series of numbers as a result. It can also output HTML!
As long as there are a) scammers and b) people willing to invest in scammy things, these sorta things never die. They'll learn and adapt and come up with newer ways. Still the cynicism towards crypto on a whole is healthy and a much needed thing we need.

Not just any foreign government, but an authoritarian rival Great Power. In addition to data-capture, the app also employs a closed-source algorithm that can promote or bury certain types of content.

As a parent of three young adult kids, all I can say is WTF.

My kids were allowed to walk, scooter, and tricycle around our block from the time they were five years old. They were allowed to walk into town, as long as they were with at least one friend, from the time they were eight.

From sixteen up, as long as they were with a group of at least three, they could take the train into NYC.

When my son was sixteen, we put him on a bus with one friend (also sixteen), for a five hour bus ride to Boston so he could go visit his sister at college, and so his friend could visit her sister at college.

And this mom got arrested because he kid walked a half mile on sidewalks to get home?

In our town, there are no busses for the middle school, the kids walk, some of them over a half mile, every school day.
Why would we want this? People trusting cash registers to tell them the change is bad enough. Having "customer service reps" condescend about a really obviously dumb policy decision enshrined in a user GUI is atrocious.

As far as concrete offers of help go, if they're someone I trust professionally, I usually say something like "If there's anyone on my LinkedIn that you'd like an intro to please let me know and I'll try to make it happen."

In some sense, yes the ultimate purpose of a bearer currency in the era of government controlled custodial currencies is having a currency that the government can't seize from you or put prior restraint on you spending. Thus by definition, the main use case is "illicit".

But remember that "illicit" also includes sending donations to protestors in Canada when the government froze their bank accounts, or sending payments to dissident organizations that have been blacklisted and denied banking services, etc.

We can also say that the primary use case of signal is "illicit" communication -- that is, attempts to skirt eavesdropping by various government security organizations, and this is why Signal received funding from the U.S. government - it was a device to assist in coordinating anti-government protests in nations the US wanted to oppose. For the same reason, the U.S. Navy created and funded Tor.

So this is a two way street -- the ability to send payments and securely communicate even if your government doesn't want you to do that is great when they are used to support dissidents in nations you oppose, but not so great when they are used for similar purposes at home, or when they are used for organized crime. Just because a technology's primary use case is "Illicit" doesn't mean it's not a valuable or useful technology.
I completely agree on all of this. I had an on again off again relationship with running before this year and it’s because… I ran in the same shoes for 8 years and I’d stop when my hip or knee felt off. Got new shoes this year and I’ve done more running than I ever had with no issues. Shoes only last 250-500 miles!

Definitely agree with pain as well, there is good pain and bad pain and tendon pain is never good pain.
