I'm not a fan of either of those terms. "Climate instability" seems a better way to depict what's going on. "Climate abnormalities", "climate volatility", etc.
> It is very serious for this lady to start making sexual assault allegations against colleagues. Things like this taint reputations for a lifetime since there will always be someone who hears about the allegation but not about the supporting data or the end conclusions.

For the reasons you laid out, the people who consciously and falsely accuses someone of a crime should be charged with the same crime, but double the penalty (for they tried to both ruin a life, and deceive/abuse the system). Obviously malice needs to be proven in this case too.
They are close to unicorn. But last time I saw a similar company raise that kind of money their valuation was ~1.3bn.
We are talking of an outlet for a car in winter. It is much more common to have a common outlet outside than to have a 240v outlet. Even if there were a 240, it would be in the nema format that electric vehicles don't accept directly.

This is also the same problem with electric kettles in the U.S. they boil much faster in the u.k. because almost double the power for a common outlet.

First of all, a disclaimer: I am not a COVID-19 expert and my understanding might be out of date. Accordingly, I am not certain that the AZ vaccine still provides sufficient protection against current variants of SARS-CoV-2 for that benefit to outweigh the very small risk of side effects. I am pretty sure it does, though. If I am wrong about that, then I agree that giving people the AZ vaccine is no longer to their benefit, and none of what follows is applicable any longer (though it would have been in the recent past when the AZ vaccine definitely was net helpful even if slightly less so than the mRNA vaccines).

Giving someone who would otherwise go unvaccinated a dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine is not doing them harm: it makes them less likely to get a severe case of COVID-19.

Vaccination with the AZ vaccine is only "unacceptable in The First World" in the sense that a better alternative is available if you don't mind paying the higher prices.

Most people's (and communities', and religions', and ...) ethical systems do not hold that it is unethical to do something that benefits someone unless what you are doing is the most beneficial thing you could possibly do, regardless of the cost to you.

I think it is a good thing that they don't, because that would mean e.g. that if you have the capacity to manufacture an effective COVID-19 vaccine in large quantities then you are obliged to provide it to everyone in the world for free, and if that requirement were in place then it would be a disincentive for any company that prefers not going out of business to develop that capacity, and that would be bad for everyone.

Without looking at the actual relevant numbers (how much it costs Pfizer or Moderna to make a given number of doses, how much it cost them to develop the vaccines, the costs of distribution, etc.) I don't have a definite opinion on whether (e.g.) wealthy Western governments have been much less generous than they should have been; I strongly suspect that they have. But you are not saying "they should have been more generous", they are saying "no one should be using the AZ vaccine for anything", and if the AZ vaccine is cheaper than alternatives then I think that's just plain wrong.

But maybe I am misunderstanding what you're claiming. What, specifically, do you think should have been done instead of what has actually been done? If it's more expensive than what was actually done, who should have paid? And, if the answer is anything less than "provide everyone in the world, for free, with the best available COVID-19 vaccine, regardless of cost", why are you confident that your proposal is better than one that uses the lower price of the AZ vaccine to provide more doses of that in preference to fewer doses of more expensive ones?

It is not my opinion that "the poor get what they deserve". I see no reason to think that any such belief is responsible for the fact that some poorer countries are using the AZ vaccine. If you disagree, then I would like to see some evidence rather than mere indignation.
The FBI's definition of "terrorist" has been criticized by academics in the past. For example, attacks on property and attacks on humans have been grouped together leading to stuff like "vegan extremists free help some factory farm pigs escape" and "rightwing extremist shoots up a hospital that provides abortion access" (a shockingly common event tbh) both bring grouped under the same label.

Whatever you think of vegans or factory farming, I think most people would agree these are pretty different categories. In a past review the FBI analyzed their data by grouping it into "leftwing", "rightwing", and "salafi-jihadist" categories of domestic terrorism. Leftwing violence was still the smallest out of these (and with the exception of 2001, rightwing violence led), but not by much given that the vast majority events under that category were "ecoterrorism"

And that's just domestically. Internationally most countries know the label is a joke and purely a political tool used against anyone the US doesn't like. The "ecoterrorist" label is particularly brutal as it's been used to justify the state's murder of many indigenous activists, particularly in the Amazon

tl:dr; "terrorist" is a political term
You’re getting like 1.3-1.5 kWh with that charger. Assuming an 90% efficiency on charging (~1.2kwh). You wouldn’t be able to really do half of the average American daily commute (20 miles) and use your heating system to bring the car up from -5 C to 20 C.

Your car is likely going to be using 400-450 wh per mile until it’s warmed up and maybe down to 320 wh per mile for the rest of the trip. That’s ~10 kWh for your one day commute.

Now this is assuming basically a lot of perfect conditions for winter time driving. Also it’s assuming no traffic, because once you add waiting in traffic while heating up the interior of the car the power use skyrockets.

Also this is assuming you’re even able to hit 90% charging efficiency on 110V which honestly I’ve never seen personally.
HN still serves as a source of distraction for time periods of arbitrary length. TikTok may also not be a social network, but it's distracting and addicting. The content on HN is just a bit more geared towards the intellectual (and The Algorithm is less powerful).
Thanks for the update!

Maybe 2 is just a called exception, like an even prime, then?
How much money does one of these operations roughly make and what was the startup cost?
>literally nobody around you escaped the cycle of addiction and poverty

I guess your righteousness is greater than your reading comprehension. I left home as a minor. I have not spoken to anyone from that time including "family" since then. They were all garbage people that created their own poverty and trouble.

> child addict

I did drugs given to me by "adults" as a minor. I realized it was not a good path and rejected it.

edit:The downvotes are a good reason that I never talk about this. I've learned that privileged people rarely like to hear real stories about poverty. Go back to your 100% accurate view of the world as shown on 60 minutes.
You are correct that history of repayment helps the score. Someone who borrows $5 once and pays it back once is less trustworthy (from a credit sense) then the person who borrows $5 every month and pays it back every month, as odd as that feels in the abstract.

Credit scores are intentionally a blend of elements. Generally the advice is to make one or two small credit purchases a month and pay them back - just enough to show consistent mild activity. Some people like using gas for this since credit cards are more fraud protected, but that may or may not be a "small purchase" for you.

When we talk about poverty, we want to seperate out the individual case (Bob is broke) from the group case (Mary's tribe is broke.) Fixing Bob's problems looks very different from fixing the tribes problems. (That doesn't mean the root problem is unrelated.)

I haven’t made a point to befriend crows, but I’ve very much made a point to establish mutual trust and respect. When I moved my pup from Saint Paul (which had surprisingly few if any crows) back to my long time home of Seattle (which, I’ve only since learned, if famous for its crows), I had to teach pup not to chase crows. She actually has learned the difference between crows (and Steller’s jays) and other birds.

And the crows definitely know us. And recognized us when we moved to another neighborhood. They know we give them a wide berth if they’re doing their thing on the ground whenever we can, crossing the road or splitting the middle wherever possible. And they calmly move aside when they see that we can’t. Sometimes one will see us and (I think) find a perch to announce our approach to the others. At first this seemed like a warning, but now it feels more like a friendly heads up.

I don’t regularly give them food, but I did sometimes leave little stuff for them at a designated place outside my last house. It was an accident the first time, I had left a little cup of salsa out on top of my yard/food waste bin and forgotten it was there until I saw a crow fly off with it. After that, any deliberate offering left there was swept up within minutes.

I’d like to make better friends with them, but most of my encounters are with pup in tow. While she definitely understands they’re different than other birds, she still needs fairly strict control to keep her behaved while we pass by. So friendly respect at a distance feels more appropriate.

"Someone wanting to book passage to America, Canada, Australia, South America, etc., would have had no difficulty locating an agent. Agents quoted ticket prices to the would-be traveler, accepted payment, and then recorded each traveler’s name and other identifying information (the specific information collected varied over the years). The information taken down by the agents was sent to the home office, where it was transferred by shipping company clerks onto large blank sheets provided by the US government. Those sheets became the passenger lists which later were used by American port officials."

As pointed out elsewhere, this is a very, very poor community. Stockpiling food is likely not an option for most if they truly do have unemployment in the 90% range
1Password at least has the architectural benefit that your vault key isn't just your passphrase, but also an "account key". (Both are merged to form the actual key) So at the very least it's dramatically harder to crack, compared to running dictionary attacks on passphrases with LastPass. That's one reason I finally switched from 1Password.com + Dropbox to 1Password.com a year ago.
Because for a dead simple read-only PDF viewer, I trust Google's security team over random Play Store app to properly sandbox the PDF and not let it do shady shit to my phone upon opening.

I'd trust Firefox more if they provided one, but in their absence, Google has the talent and the resources to do it properly.
The next AIs will be trained on vast swathes of low-quality AI-generated outputs, if they are trained on public data again. Presumably people will have to come up with ways to work around that or the AI will be training to produce outputs like a low quality AI.

By low quality I just mean the state of the outputs today, which are incredible for what they are, but are definitely not the pinnacle of what is in theory possible.
That behavior is more common across industries than you might think.

"No that's completely incorrect. It is not a solved problem."

We have IP6X-rated USB connectors. Charge port is a solved problem.

Gaskets and seal plates are gaskets and seal plates, nothing really special about them. Solved problem.

The battery probably won't need to be replaced for a few years, we aren't talking a coin cell, we're talking a mini-pouch like what already exists in these watches.

I do work in this industry. It's a solved problem, has been for several decades.
Yeah, they're apparently getting user emails from people who starred Bitwarden on GitHub.

SimCity games had long shelf-lives and were on the sales charts for years. It could be it wasn't individually special and it was just "make sure the top 20 windows games work".
Exactly, it is more efficient to just ban it.

Even in China, I don't think they can just declare eminent domain over someone's business, but they can certainly control who gets power generated for them.

On top of it, if you've ever run a large scale mining operation (and I've run several), it isn't easy. There is a lot of competence required to do it profitably.
Did you read the comments which cited proof that this map was inaccurate as a number of these countries do not have a ban on these symbols?
Did you consider how that would do in a week-long storm that deposits a foot or more of snow on your panels?

For emergencies, I think I would put more trust in a low-tech wood burner, moving extra wood in-house whenever there’s a serious storm forecast.
For me that's not affordable. I'm using 1GbE 8 port semi-managed switches from TP-Link that cost me €30 a piece 10 years ago (and are still the same price these days). Semi-managed because they only support some features but all I need is VLANs and port mirroring.

€300 for 5 is a fortune for me :(
The key word being "directly".

Aside from that, it remains to be shown for most projects that the downsides are outweighed by the upsides (which are often theoretical or aspirational even, rather than actual).
Not if it's priced appropriately.

Some countries have different prices for residential areas vs businesses vs industry.

For residential areas they might do something like first 10 kWh = $0.01/kWh, next 20 kWh = $0.02/kWh, etc. This punishes people who use excessive amounts and helps keep electricity affordable for people living in poverty.

It's the US's fault for not implementing something like that (and I'm one of the people living in it).
Are you seriously advising them to leave their home to become homeless in a place they know nobody ?
Reviews in general are not reliable. I have been paid about a dozen times/offered the item for free to write a positive Amazon review about some product.
The stuxnet one blew my mind. All these US departments coming together secretly to knee-cap Iran’s nuclear program. And the irony being that the worm was so good, it leaked into the outside world and wreaked havoc. Only when a malware specialist looked at the code, did he see the sophistication and the multiple zero-days exploits used. The journalist who uncovered all of this rightfully won the Pulitzer.
In 1,000 years humanity is going to look back on everyone alive today and think we are all backwards monsters for our conservative acceptance of the 40-hour work week, mistreatment of Earth's ecosystem, factory farming of animals, and society's dismissal of people who want to legally marry their computers.

"The vegans didn't take up arms against the oppressors? Silence is violence!"

Everyone's a critic.
When we find out who did it and their motives. To be terrorism they need to want to create political change via attacks on civilians.

Until we know who did it, and why, we can speculate and assume, but you can't know for sure.

For example they might just like causing trouble, that's bad obviously, but it's not terrorism.

When I used Android, I was never bothered that PDFs opened in the PDF viewer. I was pretty much fine with it. The PDF viewer (not from Google, an open source app) worked pretty much like iBook with a library function, so it was convenient like this actually. It does not look like something to be fixed with high priority. Looks more like a nice to have to me. Why does it matter that they are shown in the browser?
Your comment felt unprompted and the accusation of "[instant] generated consensus" is hard to prove and I don't think any GP implied anything like that
> I suspect this is a pendulum. Maybe those who are in power devalue freedom of thought / expression and those who are out of power champion it. The incentives for such an effect are pretty clear.

Those who are in power value freedom of thought/expression for themselves, and devalue it for those out of power. Those who are out of power value it for themselves, and to get it, they sometimes advocate it for all, rather than just for those out of power.

The classical liberals stand out by advocating freedom of thought and expression for all, even when they themselves were in power. The current American left... not so much.
Great content, helpful and inspiring.

Thanks!
> I think the first time most Americans heard much or cared about terrorism was 9/11.

Not at all. During my lifetime, the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, the Oklahoma City bombing, and the Unabomber's arrest were all prominent enough for me to remember when they happened. I still remember hearing my grandmother express concern about the Michigan Militia when she saw a belligerent guy wearing camo pants.

Thank you for clarifying that, my previous understanding was incorrect.

Plus, that part specifying that a mineral cannot be called a mineral until it is found in nature, that's pretty danged cool! And probably explains the disconnect between articles and science in this case.

My "favourite" disconnect is the term "organic". In science, it just means a molecule that contains carbon-hydrogen or carbon-carbon, Methane being one of the simplest: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_compound

If you asked a layman what it meant, you'd get an answer ranging from "food grown without chemicals", through to "a part of a living thing".
It this stage inherited “genetic trauma” is a fringe scientific theory.
TS is way better than Kotlin, imo. At least last I checked.

Per https://www.google.com/search?q=decade+in+years, a decade is 10 years, making the above date since December 26, 2022, over a decade ago?

But possibly, per Bill Clinton, that all depends on "what the meaning of the word 'is' is"? Or I'm missing some implied sarcasm? Usually Occam's Razor would help out, but I just got downvoted twice for enumerating some historical facts on a separate thread, so who knows...
Great! I can't wait to see what technology Google can cook up now that they are feeling some competition.

I've become more and more frustrated with Google. It ignores more and more of your query showing you only vaguely related content that is mostly blogspam. I don't think it is an easy problem but I'd love to see them really try and innovate.

It is clear to me that ChatGPT isn't a search engine replacement. But I see a lot of valuable properties. It is much better at reacting to the full context and smaller details of the "query". It can also pull together, summarize and personalize the response very well rather than just simple snippets. I think if you could teach it to cite sources it would be a powerful research tool. The resulting UI could even end up similar to what Google has now, a summary at the top and links/references below.

> and not just acting as advocates for one issue or another.

I think one clear lesson of the last few years should be that every human being has their biases. Trying to provide unbiased and objectively accurate information about things that are in nature often very nuanced and subjective is a foolhardy endeavor. Even with the big technology firms trying to provide "independent fact checkers", there's no way to accurately gauge truth on social media without essentially picking one point-of-view and censoring other perspectives.

Instead, taking into account human bias should be part of the system. Take ProjectVeritas as one example. I think that it's great that they're biased and argue their own point-of-view as long as their bias is known by people. That way you can take that into account when judging how likely something is to be true. I'd love it if there were more organizations like ProjectVeritas with their own biases who worked to expose corruption on issues they care about regardless of political perspective.

IMO, the worst situation to be in for determining truth is the one we're in with the media now where we have journalists who are playacting at being unbiased who clearly have a point of view they push for.
As an addendum to 4., I believe emergency service vehicles are also allowed to use the tram tracks.

Would you like to expand on why you think Lua is a bad choice for this particular project and what you would have used instead. That would be much more helpful than a generic attack on the language itself.
Yeah but when you fix this round of pain points and then people complain about the next one... then that means I got a bunch of improvements? Is your point "because you'll still have pain points after improving things, don't improve anything?" that makes no sense.

In no sense are the issues with TS "perfectionist anxiety". They're real, fixable problems that make it harder to write safe or simple code.
Looking at the "Controversial articles" section of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_Reports does not give me much confidence in the rigorousness of "Scientific Reports"'s review process.
Not the OP, but I think a larger factor here is fetal alcohol exposure, not epigenetics.
