I was blown away years ago, visiting the Anchor brewery in San Francisco. They approximated traditional steam beer in an enormous shallow pool. To improve consistency the whole room was at positive pressure, using state-of-the-art hospital air filtering.

Aside from the smell of beer, it was like stepping out into the Swiss Alps. I've never understood why rich people will spend $40K on audiophile equipment yet put up with crappy phones; I did a BBC interview remote in their NY studio using a $10K mic and the difference was staggering. Here, I swore if I ever got rich I'd want good indoor air.

It turns out I can afford to redo my house in California with a heat exchanger. I'm certain the hardest part will be finding a contractor who will exceed standards. Standards are why I have 1/2" pipes under my house. I want the bleeding edge of what's possible in my lifetime.

Yup — physical infrastructure is often mind-bogglingly expensive in both capex and opex (and implicitly subsidized in developed countries, so it appears cheap).

What sand are you putting in the gears exactly? By the time you have gotten on a plane, the TSA has already validated your identity with a photo ID and they already know who you are. You still have to validate yourself using a government issued ID - with your photo.

You’re taking everything out of your carry on, taking your belt off and only making life harder for yourself.

The only difference with airports that don’t use facisk recognition through TSA Precheck is that they make you scan your drivers license and your ticket instead of just scan your face.

For reference in 2022 alone, I’ve flown out of SEA, DAL, SFO, LAX, ATL (my home airport), BNA (3x), CHS, CLT, MCO (2x), CUN, and I have one more flight by the end of the year through MIA. Facial recognition is one less thing I have to worry about fumbling for when I go through an airport.

That’s not to mention my not having to take out all of my electronic gear (2 laptops, iPad, portable monitor, keyboard, mouse, battery pack, etc.
Some of that you can tune down as it’s trying to redraw at every single step in between.

The man subject in the article is a self-proclaimed victim of toxic masculinity. He didn't die per-se but it doesn't take mental gymnastics to understand that many young men imprisoned for never being taught how to be civilized are as much victims of their circumstance as they are guilty for their behaviors wrought from it.

I think it was Bell Hooks who talked a lot about this, how men are also victims of patriarchy in general, and how overlooking this truth retards the healing progress

> To be frank, if these purchases are no longer worth supporting, those customers should receive a full refund.

English law generally accounts for the benefit received. For example, if you buy a physical product that works for only half its expected lifetime, the starting point is that you did receive half of the benefit of the product and so you are owed (the remaining) half of your money back.

Or, put another way, if a product is expected to last a year, and fails one day before that point, you don't get to walk away with most of your money, and the other party nothing. That isn't fair to the other party, who did fulfil >99% of their obligation to you.

What proportion of the expected benefit you received, and other issues such as consequential damages, also get factored into that, of course.

We're about to try event modeling at my company, does anyone here have experience with it?

How so? With regular TV, 99% of the time nothing interesting is going on, and 50% of watch time is unskippable ads (despite the service being paid). With YouTube, I can always find something which I find interesting, and there are no ads (even though Premium is way cheaper than TV), only some skippable sponsor spots which some creators choose to put in.

The situation with YouTube is dire, the DMCA situation is dire (in general, but also YouTube's handling of it), there are serious issues with how YouTube treats its creators, and there are serious issues with people being fed disinformation by the algorithm. But in no way is it "equivalent and worse than regular TV".

My point is that the names are awful and hard to remember, so they're almost worse than using the numbers by themselves.

I'd be careful. By doing this you can use the date these AIs became readily available as a tool for bisecting between "legitimate profiles" before the year X and "potentially fake" profiles from after the year X, which can then be used to very effectively train an AI to tell the difference...
Many business policies don't cover gross negligence/punitive and exemplary damages.
yesss I love Bordier, showed this to my partner recently to explain to her why I love nice imported French butters. Traveling there really made me fall in love with French food and the mentality behind a lot of it.

Part of what Europe does right is its legal certification process for traditionally made foods, "protected designation of origin" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protected_designation_of_origi...). At nicer import stores you can find San Marzano tomatoes with a DOP stamp, so you know it's the real deal. In America we've had a few decades of a race to the bottom, where quality slowly declined in order to generate more profits, until what we have now is unrecognizable from what it originally was.

That original license contract is legally binding, too. So it's not only about dishonesty at this point, it's a new legal liability that he's opened himself up to, which has the potential to cost him a lot more than the trust he decided to give up. It's a pretty brash move.
so basically for most urban areas you're advocating a huge usage of eminent domain, since doing such retrofits would likely involve chopping off the livingrooms of many homes to make space necessary for the change. so that we can have bikes without helmets, destroy a million homes.

Sure, but—

The fat borders for the windows and the control strip at the bottom left of the screen took up a lot of space on real monitors of the era. Try running at a more modest 800x600 or 640x480 and it will seem less efficient. Modern Mac OS X is actually quite efficient, with zero-pixel window borders on three sides, and narrower scroll bars.

Worse, a bunch of applications had code that would set up window locations with the assumption that the window borders were 1 pixel wide, like they were prior to Mac OS 8. This often meant that controls which were supposed to be visible would be partially covered by another window’s border.

I remember the Mac OS 8 era as a bit of “excess” that got cleaned up somewhat with the arrival of Mac OS X.

On the other hand, Mac OS 8 came with a fresh batch of standardized widgets (Appearance Manager) which made all the apps look better. These widgets came with guidelines for how they should be sized and placed, something which is missing from a lot of modern UI toolkits.
Paper money still has a very important role, because it can't simply be deleted from your account.

That's important, because central banks are considering negative interest rate policy, which would mean your bank account would drop by a percentage each month. This would drive people to spend or invest their money, supporting consumption and inflating asset prices.

The reason they can't do that right now is because many people would withdraw their funds and hold cash. That option needs to be removed for negative interest rate policy to be broadly implemented.

(There are a few places, like Europe, where interest rates already went negative, but only slightly and it only applied to institutions like banks).
This, of course, isn't new. I once worked at a company that was tasked with migrating data out of a CM system built by a company where I had also worked about 10 years earlier.

I ended up pinging one of the founders at the old company and asked him how we'd go about extracting the data using the platform's data (we were wondering because we kept running into stability issues doing this).

He basically told me what I suspected, there was no good way to do that. Because of the way the cache worked in the product, it would never stay up if every single data record were fetched via the API.

We ended up pulling it all out of the database directly, which was a bit of a pain.

tl;dr no vendor really wants to make it easy to pull ALL of your data out of their system.

I'd settle for this: compensate people losses, pay punitive damages and charge owners with criminal fraud. Also instead of blindly arresting people on a corporate whim the police must require proof of actual stealing. Even if car is actually not returned on time it does not constitute theft. Renter should be notified first and given opportunity to answer. The whole thing is fucking perversion of justice in favor of corporation thanks to legalized bribe system / lobbying.
I am very pro EV...but a little concerned that the one thing we do (Hauling a 5th wheel with a diesel) will get legislated away or cot prohibitive before a reasonable alternative is available.

But for the other transportation needs, when I replace the 40mpg commuter, I'm all for it. When we bought the commuter, due to covid math, it was an $8k purchase plus trade. An EV would have been a $25k purchase with trade and I really didn't want to incur that much debt.

I think schools will require students to submit recorded videos of their screens with their homework being done. These videos will be checked by an AI and flagged if something looks suspicious. The schools could also require a video of the student doing the work. Could be a startup opportunity, but I heard that selling to schools sucks.
What is double standard? Who do you want to put in jail for this: front line employee? legal guy? finance guy? CEO? or all of them? Or is it just like "Some one need to go to jail, I just don't know or care who that will be and I do not have time for that"

So as per example your example the guy who filed the report be sent to jail even though he was following company policy, though in this case made a mistake. How it compares to cash register guy who was clearly stealing.

What you call a pass through "loop hole" is exactly what happens by default with ordinary business accounting. As a business you have other expenses that increase by the same amount as your other income. Net income is unaffected.

Before special tax treatment comes into play, businesses in the United States are taxed on revenue minus expenses, i.e. their net income. Nothing about passing through charitable contributions for others affects their net income at all.

I was able to positive pressurize my apartment with an IQair during the ‘17-20 wildfires; it’s really worth it if you can figure out the intricacies and get it done.
"their mere interest in something doesn’t disqualify it" - It certainly raises suspicions though. It really feels like certain groups have gotten good at turning particular news events or ideas into memes and sharing them as widely as possible in order to push a narrative that manipulates the markets. Which is probably why this story is now on the front page of HN. We certainly saw this with crypto and now it feels to me at least like those same tactics are being applied more and more to the larger stock market.
Engineering staff, for sure.

If my company decided all of a sudden to move from AWS to some other cloud (and nearly all of my experience as an engineer is with AWS), that’s a big headache for me and a lot of technology that I would have to re-learn. Or I could just go find another shop who is staying on AWS, and probably get a pay bump for myself too.
Not necessarily programming related, though I used programming to get myself out of this pickle.

Over the years I've created many Google Photos accounts for various trips and events (and to keep things free since 15GB is comes with the account). Now I wanted to consolidate everything into a single account. You would think it would be easy, but it's not. You can move photos from one account to another, but not painstakingly created albums and other customizations.

I've had to use a combination of Google Takeout and Google Photos API (which, in itself, is such a half-ass implementation) to move everything intact to a new account.
The way I read it, ChatGPT acts as a force multiplier: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force_multiplication

It might help if “enthalpy” as used by HVAC people was closer to what “enthalpy” means in thermodynamics. The closest I can come is that HVAC enthalpy is the enthalpy of the air plus the enthalpy of vaporization of the water vapor in the air.

This is an oddly named but somewhat useful concept for air conditioning because water that condenses onto an A/C coil delivers its enthalpy of vaporization to the air conditioning system. So you can add “latent heat” to “sensible heat” and get a sensible answer.

But this is all a bit silly in the winter. In the winter, the primary consideration is not the energy cost of vaporizing the water in the air. It’s the amount of water in the air, how to get it there, how to keep it there, and how much humidity is safe for the building envelope. I doubt anyone measures humidity in units of BTU/cubic foot.

How much of our propensity to make causal statements depends on the language we use?

In English, we structure sentences as either a question, answer, or command of causality. We have "independent clauses" but the moment a clause gains utility is when dependence is added to it.

The only methods we have to express noncausal ideas are additive. Like an expansion pack for the English language, we just slap on some extra grammar and jargon, then call it good. It's a lot of messy boilerplate that we have to use every time we need abstraction. It's no wonder that we have ended up with doctor-speak and programmer jargon.

This has me wondering: what if we did have first-class noncausal language? What would that even look like? How would we structure clauses? Is there even a way to do it, or is what I am proposing simply what one finds searching the antonym of causal itself: redundant, frivolous, irrelevant, or meaningless?

There are no tax implications either way. The benefit you're worrying about is imaginary.

From your link #2:

> What happens to the money you donate at the cash register?

> This is where you round up your bill to give to a charity designated by the retailer, and the donation amount appears on your receipt. The store serves only as a collection agent for your gift. Assuming the business is following the law, it will not include your donation as part of its business receipts, or income, nor will it claim the charitable gift as an expense.

In the alternative scenario, the store claims the charitable gift as an expense, and it also recognizes it as part of its business receipts. This is the difference between being taxed on [(I+G) - G] and being taxed on [(I)].

The fact that you get to subtract a G in the first formula means nothing. The store gets equivalent legal credit for donating the money in the other scenario when it is allowed to exclude that money from its business receipts. Or, from another perspective, the ability to claim a deduction in the one case is of zero benefit to the store, because they also get to claim the same deduction in the other case.
