"However, extensive sea trials carried out by US website boattest.com on the new Sharrow Propeller MX-1 seem to confirm all of the above and show efficiency gains of between 9-15% over comparable 3-blade propeller designs.

The tests were carried out on a 20ft Bayliner VR5 sportsboat fitted with a standard Mercury 150hp outboard engine, comparing Sharrow’s new tipless MX-1 against two market leading-competitors. Not only was it the fastest of the three (41.7 knots vs 40.8 knots and 39.0 knots) and the most efficient (4.6mpg @ 32 knots vs 4.2mpg and 4.1mph), it also planed earlier and outperformed them both at every 500rpm increment from idle speed to wide open throttle."

Seems like the title is incorrect? The article only claims 9-15% mileage improvements along with vibration reduction and handling improvements.
Run it through grass or weeds and then it won't seem so innovative. Also, $4300 more than a standard prop means that a single trip over an unseen gravel bar will be the first and last time anyone uses one of these.
Similarly. Astigmatism, glasses, and dark mode is a lot easier for me.
This is a blatant false dichotomy and a dehumanizing one at that.
The point being: there are no consequences for a landlord slipping one extreme condition into that template. Maybe on page 17.

And, as long as it doesn't breach any explicit laws, that condition is equally enforceable.

The German system above appears to specifically address that issue with US law.
A few of the more popular webtoons have now been reformatted for print (e.g. Villains are Destined to Die, Why Raeliana Ended Up at the Duke's Mansion). Those have both physical and digital copies, and use the normal page size.
I'm confused about the goal here. Why do we need a Wikipedia alternative? Is it just about having a broader scope?

I don't know if downsizing sq ft is part of the energy transition, though I was in a few multi-bedroom houses in Germany which relied on firewood for heating.

Also, the book Cooking Without Electricity was published a year ago.

I agree, but I have also been (falsely) accused of doing it. the current SOTA in detectors is arguably not good and promotes a spurious confidence interval.

It's my belief if you are in the training set, or write with quirks, you have a high chance of being a false positive.
They still took around 5 years and have barely higher availability than a wind turbine.
FWIW, and as a person who almost always prefers light mode but who’s also invested a fair bit of energy into getting dark modes right, one of the nuances of a good dark mode implementation is that it uses darker areas very similarly to light mode. A generally good light mode and its corresponding generally good dark mode will usually map:

- Base background: white or slightly off white -> a dark enough grey or off-grey for good baseline contrast

- Borders: darker on the grey scale -> dark enough to strongly contrast the base background, or omitted for bordered areas which are already that dark

- Toolbars, window handles, other concrete “chrome” areas: darker than baseline, for both light and dark modes

- Buttons and text: high contrast, dark in light mode, light in dark mode

- Active items: accent color or outline for maximum contrast

- Colors generally: the same hues except when other color perception preferences are chosen (for either mode), but generally a slightly lower saturation for dark mode backgrounds, and hue adjustments for color perception errors in color spaces

All of this in my experience needs a lot of eyeballing but quite a lot could probably be approximated with good perceptual light and color models. But I’ll still prefer light mode most of the time.
I would be curious to hear what you suggest should have been done differently.

You state "Nonetheless, clinicians should be more vocal about it", more vocal about what? That it is not always easy to tease out whether it's medication or lifestyle changes that improve your depression? How would that help?

Separately, you started and antidepressants and had an improvement in your depression. Could the antidepressant have given you the impetus to make the positive lifestyle changes you allude to?

I personally wouldn't target businesses. I'd network with people who are people-centric and who like to try new things. Those people would form the business connection for me later, by simply being employed, or by owning businesses.

Then I'd say, "hey I got a new thing, wanna try it?" and if they say no, they are going against the grain of their own psychology by definition. So your base hit rate / sampling rate will be higher.

To find people like this, what you'd do is ask around. Asking around is different for everybody, so you'll need to develop your own asking-around science/art, probably by looking into your past a little bit to see what kind of person you are, and what that has to say about what might work.

For some people it actually helps to ask a matchmaker, like a literal matchmaker-type person. "I'm looking for somebody like..." Just as an example.

Good luck, sounds like you have a wide open field in front of you & some fun times ahead.
I'm still curious if it reduces noise on drones, though. Can 3d prints stand up well enough to be used as propellers, so someone could test it?
Peeling away the layers of abstraction to attain the balance between structure and content.
Except, as the slides indicate, sequences of values are not sets. They are ordered. You can also, as they mention, refer to "y" in the definition of "x". This is like set union, but it is, again, sensitive to ordering of elements.

The thing about James is he reads all these old books cover to cover line by line and explains the context and ideas around it. Nobody reads academic leftists because they are eye-wateringly dull and they redefine many words. The people who wrote this Wikipedia article are trying to do a gigantic gaslight about 60+ years of academic left literature not really being serious or not existing or nobody actually taking it seriously. That and thousands and thousands of academics have been trained in this stuff and written doctoral thesis on it and the guy who wrote this article thinks it's all just a conspiracy theory that it had any effect on anyone. Yeah right.

James takes apart all their old works and cross-references to earlier works and explains how all their stuff ties together. The guy is an academic mathematician so he's precise and his reasoning is refreshingly clear. He even jokes about how most leftists today haven't even read any leftists to even know where their ideas even came from. In these old works they describe how the dumbed down activist techniques work and how to teach them, but people are ignorant of all this stuff or gaslight that it doesn't exist as if it's some organic will of the people rising up all by itself.
More like the opposite of what you asked, but a car park with a traditional pay machine didn't have much in the way of terms and conditions. Now that they have apps, suddenly there are pages and pages. But they managed before, so they should be able to manage now.

I mention this because it's sort of an example of it "having been achieved" in the past, albeit not in the lawmaking sense.
I'd be shocked if it survived this.
I don't know man. Half the developers I know are now using a Microsoft tool to write code (more among web developers). Nearly everyone is using a Microsoft site to host their code, or relies on code hosted there. WSL and the new terminal have removed a couple of major roadblocks to using Windows for development, and Azure is doing gangbusters. Office is cross-platform and still ubiquitous in the corporate world and isn't going anywhere as long as they have active directory and all the other corporate management tools. They may be losing consumer mind share, but I don't think they really care that much. At this point consumer Windows is only valuable to them as a marketing platform so there's no point in retaining it if they don't use it as such.
Cogent does supply some residential users, mostly in high density housing, but generally Cogent customers have options and can switch. That's the 'make Cogent behave differently' button of course, it doesn't work very fast. And on this issue, it may not ever work.

Cogent is best used as part of a multihoming strategy, and not as an only route. Even if you take a neutral stance about their role in peering disputes, the fact that they are involved in a lot of them means if you only use them, you're likely to have less connectivity than if you had a different transit provider or multiple transit providers.
Just so I understand your viewpoint, you're saying that the harder it is to understand/comply with the law, the better?

If your goal is to prevent data collection, why wouldn't it be better to just draft a law that says "It's illegal to collect data" with super clear rules and enforcement criteria?
Yeah. Prior to birth control, evolution functioned by strengthening the desire to have sex. Since birth control, the trait being selected for is desire to reproduce, not desire for sex. And I suspect that evolutionary change will happen incredibly quickly; birth control is breeding the desire to procreate into our species (as opposed to the desire for intercourse).
Common bartering trick is that you don't keep all your money in your wallet. Then you pull it out and say "golly gee, I can only afford to pay X", and you can bypass some of the back and forth. Similar technique would let the dissident avoid raising suspicion. Keep a few hundos in their wallet, a thousand in a different pocket, rolled up in their socks, stuffed in a bra, etc etc

What should i do about a video in tiktok about air jordan 1s
I have several issues with your comment.

1. What makes you think car dealerships run on thin margins?

I don't know what typical margins are, but the owners seem to do pretty well. This may be despite low margins. But I'm reluctant to accept your claim without proof.

2. What qualifies as low margin? 1%? 10%?

3. It is entirely possible to make billions on low margins.

A dealer that makes $1000 per car can make $1 billion profit by selling 1 million cars. If the average car sells for $15k, a $1k profit would be a < 7% margin. See question 2 about low margins.

A little mom-and-pop lot in a very small town can sell 5-10 cars per month. It doesn't seem unreasonable for a huge national online dealership to sell 1 million cars.

4. What timeframe are we talking? Five years?

Carmax financials say they do more than $5 billion in a single quarter.
Dark Mode doesn't hurt my eyes. Light mode does. "Something something science". Whatever.
This is an extremely naive and ascientific hot take.

Dinosaurs are large creatures of a completely different order, not mammals. The sea ecosystem which had evolved over millions of years to deal with those temperatures is a completely different ecosystem from what we have now.

It's not about whether some humans can survive in difficult conditions, it's whether the current ecosystem can survive the unprecedentedly fast and rapid warming. And whether billions of humans will starve
If you're working on your own game, something where you share in the profits, that's certainly a different scenario.

But even then you still shouldn't go crazy with overtime, you'll still end up with diminishing returns, burnout, and eventually poor quality work. It's just a bad idea outside of emergency scenarios (eg, a serious crash bug in production that you can't just revert).
Sure, but it's a visible problem; refusal to publish concerns me (in a large part) because its impossible to even estimate how large the problem is.
Is it good for your eyes? No, but is it bad/destructive - definitely not. So that leaves it up to personal preference.

The article seems to try to make an argument that non-darkmode is better, but the gap is so tiny it reminds me of the Coleman, Dvorak, QWERTY, etc arguments.

The differences are so tiny just do what you want.

Isn't stock sold in the event of a buyback? And isn't that event taxable? Are dividend taxes higher than capital gains from stock sale taxes?
Because now you can't differentiate between an actual empty array or an error. That's horrible.

Or, you actually have to use nested arrays to describe that the result might be an error or an array. But now you have to deal with an array which might contain... zero errors or even multiple ones.

That's really not a great way of doing things. Instead, do it the other way around and make null treatable in the same way as arrays are. And if you do that, you end up with what languages like Haskell do.
I know tons of people who have either bought used cars or sold a car at least once. A decent chunk of those transactions would've been more than 10k euros at current exchange rates.
In fact, most of the work of Asimov regarding the tree laws is about how broken they are.

So not only it is just a plot device with no basis in reality, but even in universe, they don't work.
Show HN: VS Code Ext: Collaborative countdown timer for mob programming sessions
My team has been doing a lot of teaming (mob programming) recently, and we've tried different tools to keep time in sync and be ready for the following driver's turn.

But the tools we used were overkill when we only needed a timer. So I prototyped a minimalist one that is always in sync for everyone connected.

It's in its early stage and needs a better design, but it's functional. So I'm sharing it here in the hope it can be helpful to others.

It's a VS Code Extension, but it can also be used via browser (https://linkedtimer.com) in case your team uses another IDE/Editor during these sessions.

I'm also considering making a browser extension when it gets more stable.

Source code is available on GitHub: https://github.com/felladrin/LinkedTimer

Let me know what you think! Any feedback is highly appreciated! Thanks!

The monitor brightness struggle was something I encountered first a 3 or so years ago when I moved into place with big windows that got a lot of natural light during the latter half of the day, even in the winter. Garden variety 250-350 nit displays really struggle with that kind of light, even if it's indirect and the screen in question is matte.

400-450 nits I've found is about the minimum for universally usable display brightness indoors, assuming either a matte finish or good anti-glare coating (e.g. like that on newer MacBooks). If it's the sadly far more common mirror-type glossy displays found on damn near every laptop and non-enthusiast/pro desktop monitor out there, you're going to need 500-600 nits to cut through the glare.
Like any project, sometimes you have to drop the game and work on something else. Ideally using the assets you have from the failed game.

It's not an unusual tack to take even for regular software developers. Not all feature work. Smart folks will cut bait and focus on something that does.
Is the current cadre of politicians trained to set policy under high interest rate? I ask of those from main economies.
I'd also things to be explicitly unenforceable in certain contracts like binding arbitration or gag clauses. If these are challenged in court the company automatically loses and has to pay a substantial fee for even having them in the contract in the first place.

> Stock buybacks are therefore not equivalent in any way to paying of dividends.

They are extremely similar. The differences are around timeline and tax advantages, none of which you covered.

In a buyback, your percent ownership in the company will go up and the price will go up (barring other factors). You can sell some stock to keep your percentage flat and get some cash, making it like a dividend. Or, you can make a dividend like a buyback by reinvesting the dividend. Your percentage of ownership will go up.
Aka the AirBNB problem. In a nutshell, that you can't have a high quality growth company forever in an industry with a fixed supply of high quality items.

Initially, you grow like crazy and with great user reviews, as you're able to pick and choose the highest quality items.

Unfortunately, at some point you exhaust the supply at a given quality level, but your valuation mandates continued growth.

So you lower your quality requirements to obtain more supply, which only buys you a bit more time until you hit the next supply limit.

The only winning move seems to be stay private and accept there's a near-term cap on your revenue growth, after which you will grow much more slowly (at the natural supply expansion rate).
interactive rebase is (IMHO) the golden ticket for this. Unfortunately, if you're using git as a backup then that means you pushed the commits, so a `git push -f` will be required. I do that all the time and think in general we are unnecessarily scared of it. As long as you're the only person working on the branch, a push -f is NBD. Never do it to master though or a shared branch unless you plan to bring donuts or something in later as an apology.
Don’t you guys have phones?!
That's a really nice question! We could address it by looking at places where obesity has significantly increased in recent decades, independently of any widespread access to the medical system or advocacy of "lifestyle changes". And it looks like we can actually see real dangers in such cases from obesity, that can't be easily explained by iatrogenic causes. The lesson is there's a difference between posing a question, and having a bias for answering that question in a prejudiced way (blaming "privileged" doctors for adverse outcomes).

This is some sort of a reverse no true Scotsman fallacy. There are plenty of more fields inside social science where hypotheses driven research and testing is the norm. Anthropology comes quick to mind, so does behavioral psychology. Urban engineering, population control, and transportation design use research from social scientists which gets tested all the time with their work, which in turn feeds back in to theory of social systems.

In fact I would say that economics is probably the least “scientific” of the social scientists, since it is based more on mathematics more then discovering and applying properties of the real world. But that is just my definition of science which IMO shouldn’t involve assumptions and derivation of truths from those assumptions, the latter being philosophy.
The idea of using VR technology to remotely control heavy machinery and improve workplace safety is a promising one, and I can see how it could be applied in other industries as well. It will be interesting to see how it performs in testing and if it ultimately leads to increased productivity and safety.

How to Make Friends
This is coming for IoT "cybersecurity", e.g. routers.
I bought one from them about 3 months ago and it was excellent.

I couldn’t get a local dealership to give me the sticker price of a car on their website without showing up in person. I expected all the extra fees they throw in to be hidden but all they would post was MSRP and to call for the price. I call and they pretend to not know the car I am talking about and need to go there to see the specific car. This was multiple dealers.

Carvana though showed me the price, shipping if any, taxes, tag, title before I even tried to buy it.
Wildly. They're making hundreds of millions off it.

Which makes me sad. It's a mediocre game built around hawking microtransactions at every turn. And it works, because those microtransactions make the payers more powerful than their non-paying peers.

The end game is PVP. And you can not be competitive without paying gobs of money.

Now, imagine what they'll bring into D4, a PC/console focused game...
