If the energy is used to move something, then by special relativity the object increase the mass [1], and the difference disappears. If the energy is used to heat something, the object increase the mass, and the difference disappears. If the energy is stored elsewhere, also the difference disappears.

The only way to reduce the mass of the Earth (including the atmosphere) is to beam the energy to space, for example using the energy using a giant laser pointed to the sky. A simple solution is to wait until the heat of the atmosphere makes some radiation that escape to space.

Anyway, even if all the energy we produce escapes, it's extremely small, so you can ignore it for all practical purposes.

But it's worse, because the Sun send heat to the Earth. So you have energy going out that decreases the mass of the Earth, and you have energy going in that increases the mass of the Earth. The average temperature of Earth is increasing, so inbound energy/mass is wining.

But it's more complicated because hydrogen and helium in the top of the atmosphere is blow away by solar wind, and solar wind brings some new hydrogen. My guess is that the mass of this exchange is much bigger than the mass of the exchange of energy, but I'm not sure.

[1] Modern books of special relativity don't like to say that the mass increase, because there are some technical problems. If there is no physicist nearby, it's a good approximation.

> European leaders praised the decision, with Germany's Chancellor Olaf Scholz describing it as a "project close to my heart". French President Emmanuel Macron said the country had been pushing the idea for more than four years.

Of course countries with high taxes are all for raising taxes in countries where they are lower!

Now, unfortunately the article does not mention the interesting bit, which is that EU countries with lower corporation tax will therefore have to raise their rates. I'm thinking especially about Hungary and with the current tense relations I'm surprised that they agreed... What is the deal?

My experience with Wework in downtown SF has been pretty good!

Community? Ehhh not in my experience. As a social person, I'm pretty good friends with the employees there, security, and the neighbor office, but overall its just another office with a little more up to date styling. We like it a lot and it works for us, but its not worth anymore than a traditional rent an office.

Oh the dog friendly part kicks ass though! And many of us have use the essentially free (because they give you hella credits) hotdesk credits while working in remote locations. Was SUPER awesome in new york when we had 4 hours between checkout and flight. Snuck my gf into the nearest one for clean bathrooms, coffee, charging, ect.

My college aged son refuses a phone. Uni gave him an iPad, he rarely uses it -- he has his laptop. He has no social.

It's all good.
There are many places with mandated ID. Can you mention one in which any of the others on the list have "eventually followed"? You are presenting speculation as unavoidable fact.
> There are a thousand perfectly rational reasons

Definitely. Now I have a simple question to you -- do you honestly think they counted these crashes as Autopilot's fault in their publicly released statistics?

> There is pretty extensive rebuttals so the most notable example used in your PDF, including that the car in question didn't even have have FSD purchased and that even if autopiloted was purchased, standard Autopilot would require lane lines to turn on, which this street did not have.

Congratulations. I know firsthand how buggy software can be, so I don't trust this explanation, even if Tesla is honest here, but let's assume you explained 1 out of the 16 reported incidents. Would you mind explaining the remaining 15 incidents that were reported and investigated here?

What about all the crashes that weren't reported and investigated of Autopilot turning off right before the crash? Oh, it's a made up story, right? Twitter will decide the truth? Oh, wait...

> A father had the vehicle his child was in attacked.

Would you mind providing us some details about the "attack"? His airplane position is publicly available and is not the position of his car. Finally, we are not talking here about banning the account of the person who posted Mr. Musk's airplane positions, but accounts of journalists. If we want to have a constructive discussion, then it's not helpful to simplify all this into one heavily judgemental sentence.
This is definitely an option; we as a society did it for centuries.

It will impact your social life, but you can mitigate that if you put in the effort.

The worst for me when I don’t have my phone while driving. It’s an odd anxiety.
Lest anyone get triggered by the subject matter into actually trying to find this, it's from https://www.bulwer-lytton.com/2019. (We changed the URL (more at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34018429).)
It reminded me of one of pg's old essays – http://paulgraham.com/addiction.html. Highly recommended.

On a personal note, it's also something that worries me for the day when I'll finally have my own children.

I wouldn't want them exposed to modern cyber-addictions from young age, but at the same time, I'm not sure how to protect them, when I can expect that all their peers will be on whatever social app's gonna be popular at that time.
Hmm.. I think they only got that long is because the writers were encouraged to do so. People expected higher word count to go along with higher prices.

Books didn't used to be all that long.

Agatha Christie novels were 40 - 60K words.

The Great Gatsby was around 50K IIRC.

Arthur Conan Doyle: The Hound of the Baskerville was 60K

Jaws was about 80K
Then there is this Jan 6th thing...
Abandonment isn't the problem here. I'm sure Tesla wouldn't be worse off if Elon paid token attention to it. It's more that the face of the company is using a huge megaphone to antagonize everybody. That going to hurt demand not just the stock price.
This is the first thing I've seen about Musk all day. Thanks OP..
As others have mentioned, this is true, but is a great illustration of how averages are extremely misleading when representing non-normally distributed data, and are used excessively in popular culture and media. Modal (most common single digit) lifespan of hunter gatherers is usually in the 70s, despite low averages (mean) due to high infant mortality [1]. Modern health care massively reduced infant mortality, but doesn't change mortality much in middle years, when most people don't actually need any healthcare.

I'm doing a few things.

1. I run a blog that is about 4 years old. I spend maybe 5 hours or so each month writing a new post to keep it fresh, and an additional 2-3 doing generic maintenance work (responding to comments, SEO checks, etc). This generates good income for me.

2. I am working on a saas project that fixes a simple but very important problem. Cloud functions make my life so much easier, it's incredible. This generates no income, but probably will.

3. I run https://contractrates.fyi. We are a crowdsourced dataset of freelancing hourly rates. I don't know why this site didn't exist already because it's such an obvious problem. Anyway, I built it and the reception has been insane. It makes zero money because I can't charge people to share information, but it's a nice resume boost site and a joy to work on. This is the only one I'm okay to share :)

I am just obsessed with building stuff. Adhd is a significant advantage if you can harness it correctly shrug.
It's how I instinctively pronounced it, because I recognized it as being Esperanto-adjacent, so...
Yeah, born in 1971 and graduated HS in 1989 and was in between the nuclear war drills and the active shooter drills.

Of course we did see The Day After on live TV and caught the tail end of the cold war.

Someone born in 1980/1981, graduated in 1999 would have been 4 or 5 by the time the Reagan-Gorbachev summit happened and then would have only had a few months in HS after Columbine happened. So optimum sanity was probably the cohort born around 1976-1980 or so.
There is a warning, I’ve just tried that. You can ignore it and continue.
What’s the story for modals? Or multiple modals, navigating in them etc… Do you plan to take inspiration from Unpoly Layers (https://unpoly.com/up.layer) or is it out of scope for htmx?
The impact is not likely to be positive. Nearly every government in Europe will want access to the comms happening, particularly if it's within their borders or with their citizens. Europe is not likely to introduce an end-user-to-end-user encryption. It will be encrypted from end user to the government to the next end user.
Yes - they do.

In general companies will disable the account and the amount might be sold to collection agency (so you will receive unpleasant news when apply for mortgage or something like that).

But majority of companies do email you and do have email address for support so I never run into issues like this.

Google says energy of combustion for hard coal is 25 MJ/Kg. E = mc^2 gives 278 picograms of mass lost per kilogram burned in ideal combustion. Consider the amount of earth's mass that is coal and reduce it again by 278e-12 / 1000 to find Earth's mass loss if you did complete combustion of all coal on earth.

Fun napkin math but probably wouldn't make my list of top 10 concerns for humanity.
The tracking account used an API to track his family's movements. It didn't use an antenna per se.

Bias and Performance
I grew up using a rural electrical co-op. Despite the high winds, occasional blizzards, and regular thunderstorms of the Indiana plains, it was far more reliable than our current service in Redmond with Puget Sound Energy. To PSE's credit, their service is more reliable than it was ten years ago. But still, I'd never felt the need to own a generator until we moved to Redmond.
All I see on that link is them talking about proving that it was possible. When I search, I can't find the actual test, or demonstrating that they can pass a bullet through one block of gel, and then bounce it off 2 "bones" in another block of gel, at 45-degree angles, and cause more wounds, and stay in one piece. If veterans were to comment and say, "Yeah, this kind of thing happens all the time," I might be more sympathetic. But I can't find their actual demonstration, so I don't know.

I do see them quoted as saying "these were not hard shots to make," but no expert riflemen at the FBI could get off 3 accurate shots in the 6.5 seconds it would take to make the Commission's report true.

I've seen "experts" try to tell me that shooting a melon makes it recoil in the direction of the shooter, to attempt disprove the fatal headshot from the front. Again, this flies directly in the face of experience with anyone who has shot guns for fun. This just does not happen. So was it faked? Was it a one time thing? Who knows! It was an "expert," but it sure as heck doesn't square with my experience. And it sure as hell doesn't explain Jackie picking up pieces of John's skull from the trunk lid.

But this really gets to the heart of why we can't agree on anything any more: you can always find an expert who tells you what you think should be true.

If you want to believe that the magic bullet caused several wounds in 2 people, bouncing off bones at sharp angles, then exit the second victim -- it wasn't recovered in Connelly -- and wind up on the gurney of the FIRST victim, in almost pristine form, without even being covered in blood, then I can't help you. It doesn't require credentialed expertise in firearms or ballistics to know that's horse puckey.

Myself, I think Occam's Razor applies here, but not in the way you do. I find it far MORE believable that there was a conspiracy, with multiple shooters, than I do the AMAZING number of ballistical miracles it would take to make the lone gunman story work.
> As WeWork CEO, Neumann on multiple occasions purchased buildings and then leased the space back to WeWork.[56] Observers noted this as a potential conflict of interest and one that would not be allowed if WeWork were a public company.

Isn't it unethical? The VCs in the podcast All In and the firm a16z defended Neumann because he bootstrapped a real-estate sector into a billion-dollar business even before getting huge VC investment. I don't doubt that, but didn't everyone say the most the important thing in a leader is integrity? Yet I hardly see how one can trust Neumann again as he skimmed his own company's money.
A non-nefarious reason could be that the company doesn’t view digital publishing in the same way as we do: it’s possible that publishing is part of their service and so their attitude is, “a report is on our website if we have an active contract”. The relationship is over -> the content is removed.

My guess would be that someone within the firm realised what a hot mess crypto is right now, determined that being involved was a risk not worth the reward, and decided to end all contracts with crypto companies. I don’t think it necessarily means anything is wrong with Binance’s report (in part because “report” is being generous — even if truthful it’s worthless.)
He also leveraged a bunch of his tesla holdings to make the purchase. As his actions repeatedly make the TLSA price fall, there is risk of a margin call and him having to forfeit his collateralized shares.

Will be pretty funny if he loses control of Tesla.
Fixed now. Thanks!

This is interesting but I can't help but notice how intensely performative these kids are as well, at least how they're characterized in this article. They're wearing Carhartt (an unusual choice for a metropolis like NYC), reading Dostoyevski and gathering to "listen to the wind." I will say most teens are like this and I certainly was myself, but I hope they are careful not to cultivate their own "artisan" brand of snobbishness (as I also did as a young punk).

One thread they're touching on that I think is healthy and good is the DIY aesthetic, and the resistance to tools and media that primarily serve to make you a passive consumer, and to choose and live ones values more consciously & proactively. These features are (or ate least were) prominent in the punk scene, but also in many other subcultures including many religious groups.

I am glad to see "the kids" continuing to question & challenge and try to take more control of their own lives, so this is great in my opinion. A bit of pretentiousness is a small price to pay in my opinion.
I'm glad, some teens are doing this, I hope it become a mainstream trend. It's marvelous that each generation question everything and start this type of counter-trends. I have three young kids and I do my best to keep them away from smartphones. This gives me hope that my older daughter, when she becomes a teenager, will not ask me for a smartphone.
Agreed on all your points. Better access to information is def. what I had in mind when I suggested no pay walls.
That's the definition of the slippery slope fallacy. Those things need not necessarily follow, that's the point.
Germany has a different history with surveillance and authoritarian state control.

Not only did the nazis use the resident register to find undesirables, but also the soviet union used any and all avenues to spy and control people.

Privacy and scepticism of making the sate a mandatory middleman is deeply entrenched for historic reasons.

Specifically this cryptographically tight identification, electronic-only payment etc. are very contentious for this reason I believe.

But overall your point is still correct, there is a strong bias towards the status quo and the new thing has a lot of proving itself to do before being accepted.
I recently finished a 1000 page biography about Willem van Oranje (not very interesting if you're not Dutch). I doubt the guy who wrote it will get rich but some books need to be written.
Oh yes, the old "They have to execute..."

I'm sure these nice American businesses are complying 100% with this rule.

OTOH, I'm not sure that it's easy/possible to really know what the 'NBBO' is, at any given 'moment'.
Well, sure, but this is "like product but minus the thing that makes product compelling.

If you want people to use a service, you have to give them a reason to use it -- "because it's good for you" isn't exactly going to fill your onboarding funnel, however true it might be.
The star burst thing sounds like a total pain in the tits if you want to drive at night, which even down south here at 56°N is about 16 hours of the day at this time of year.

I find I need different glasses for different things but I'm very very long-sighted - I can see more than well enough to drive, and indeed can see the guy wires on radio towers a few miles either side of the road I drive on most days to get to work, and can see what the dude in front is watching on his phone instead of the road, but can't really see the instrument panel except as a big green blob with a vague suggestion of pointers in it. No matter, as long as nothing is lit up red.

I wear different glasses for reading to using the computer or watching TV, basically to pull the range of focus I have in to about half a metre to a metre, or a metre to a couple of metres, and I have a couple of pairs of prescription safety glasses which fit under the visor of my climbing helmet, which is handy for work.

For welding and such, I just keep some cheap shitty "pound shop" reading glasses that are "close enough" and that I don't care if they get wrecked in the workshop, which again fit under my welding mask or grinder shield.

I do kind of wonder how well people who have had LASIK can deal with a very very wide range of focal lengths.
Do you think the curvature is why it's wrong or there's just a mistake/bug that the code skipped that point/pair? Distance is ~5% off but the latitude difference between the two SE candidates are only ~1/70th of a quarter circle.
Wow, I actually missed that. I think I'm proud of that fact? Or maybe glad that the mainstream left&right media that I consume is actually bored of him?

Though, I think what I said largely stands, with a slight modification: whether or not this is something the FEC can touch is something he can draw out in court until the money long gone.

Vanilla Javascript / HTML is the fastest for me. Maybe a couple of Python scripts for automation.
I wasn't referring to the policy, but the concept of "doxxing" at large. Twitter's specific rules can be whatever they want, but most people know doxxing when they see, no matter where or when it happens.
Good point. The internet can only be as "ideal" as the people who control and use it.

I don't see any difference between Musk banning journalists stalking him and Twitter banning journalists for reporting on Hunter Biden's laptop or censoring COVID information. It is all partisanship.
One interesting hypothesis I've heard is that there is actually a huge selection pressure for long human lifespans, to preserve cultural knowledge and skills necessary for survival, as well as to help with child care. The parenting age adults can't exactly hunt and gather if they have to watch babies all day long- yet human children are pretty helpless and need almost constant care for years.

As a dad, even in modern times I couldn't work at all without someone to help with parenting... however if I can work, I could bring in enough resources to support an entire family.
I guess it's a bit debatable. It's more or less open source - apparently there have been long periods when it was closed source (I think when they added cryptocurrency nonsense) and also it's centralised so you have to use their servers.

I would say it's a bit disingenuous to put it in the same list as Teams, Slack and WhatsApp though.
What I mean is: say there is a startup with non-technical founders. They outsource development to some web shop to do a proof of concept or something. Later product proved to be valuable, so they hire a CTO of some sorts or even just an engineer. They have no idea what is a good CTO or engineer is when they do hiring. Sometimes it works out well, sometimes not.

In "not so well" scenario, the company ends up with weak engineers that don't have a lot of experience. They might have 20 years of making marketing websites at website mil with Drupal or maybe even Django, but zero experience in software development. Those people, either don't know what a good engineer is or they are afraid to hire someone noticeably better than them - so the team ends up stuffed with not so good engineers.

Maybe by luck they hire a good engineer eventually, but a good engineer will look at all that mess and will bounce really quick unless the pay is worth it. As an anecdote, I worked with a very good engineer recently, but her team was weak - on her 1:1 she was told to not be so strict during her PR reviews. Reviews she was making, unlike mine, were very polite and people still complained about her being too strict (she wasn't it was bare minimum).

When a strong engineer is interviewing a candidate - they know what to look for and willing to look the other way when it comes to personality. (that sometimes end up in toxic engineering team culture, but that's another issue) I also worked with strong engineers that would refuse to hire engineers that are better than them (it was unnoticed for some time).

A lot of SRE complaints are coming because they have to babysit weak engineers and hold their hands. Management thinks that the solution to this is to hire junior SREs to deal with it, but the real solution is to reduce need for babysitting. For context, I'm a sysadmin that ventured into software development and now doing SRE work and honestly, there are a lot of days when I wish to go back to software development.
