I would like to say that I would work on contributing to open source.

I would probably just play a lot of video games though.
Spend more time with friends and loved ones. Work on a video game. Work on a board game. Record music. Start drawing again. Build side projects that don't seem monetizeable. Cook more ambitious meals.

There are so many things I want to do, and so little time. Whenever someone tells me that UBI would be bad because people would feel meaningless without work, I just cannot relate at all.
They are also much more ethical compared to the factory farms and caged chickens. Frankly I wouldn't be surprised if the eggs are of higher quality.
Since you have done this, are you convinced inflation is what they say it is?
Fascinating bit of history!
Driving on the left is not unique. About one third of the world does that.
None of those used in solar panels are lanthanides.

Current EVs use some lanthanides in magnets (soon to be displaced, as noted), but not in the batteries.

Permanent magnets are used mainly in the smallest wind turbines, where offshore turbines are the biggest.
I mean that the published answer. There is another narrative where due to weak central governments that aren't interested in protecting consumers, companies have realized there is quite a bit more meat on the bone when it comes to margin if consumers have no real choice.

Companies see the federal line that we're in an inflationary environment and raise prices re-actively.
> The hope was that economic integration would lead to less conflict, but the Russian invasion has proved that to be misguided.

It has absolutely led to less conflict. Just because Russia's insane dictator is hellbent on destroying his country doesn't mean the concept isn't valid.

What is the alternative? If we didn't have globalization, our ONLY option would be war. Instead we took away McDonalds, armed our allies, and we've so far stalled a full scale invasion that previously would have succeeded instantly.
Yes Russia and China are where it didn't really work out. But the EU for example has been very successful in reducing conflict. But I would also argue there are many other quiet successes. We simply dont have a world in which the US after winning WW2 decided to turn inwards and instead of promoting globalisation just decided to leave things be.
Tell HN: LinkedIn is giving out my phone number without consent (?)
Hi -- I get spam calls from recruiters and other sales people. One time I picked up and asked them where they got my number and they said, "LinkedIn". No where on my contact info is my number divulged, nor do I have any resume or anything that I know of that gives away my phone number.

How do I fix this? Thanks.
Only a few feet deep? Maybe in select areas, but you generally have to go a lot deeper than that. It's been my understanding that the steep cost of geothermal involves the drilling. As much as $80K just to install a decent system, from what I've heard.
> Look, upthread comment implied pretty clearly that a particular heat pump as installed would "work" until zero net energy flow at "-20C"

I did not read it that way at all. To me they are clearly talking about the point at which your heat pump no longer provides a efficiency gain over a purely resistive heater.

I think where you went wrong is reading "gain" as "heat gain" rather than "efficiency gain". While the usage of "gain" is sort of ambiguous there, the rest of the comment thread makes it clear that the term 1:1 is not discussing the point at which your heat pump stops producing any heat but the point at which it becomes inefficient.

> that's not the threshold you use to size a heat pump as is doesn't reflect a steady state

I don't think anyone except you was talking about sizing the system, but about selecting the system type given the climate.

If you had come into this just saying "here's my relevant experience with sizing heat pumps", that would have been productive. However you strongly asserted that the OP was using the wrong metric, which they weren't.

> I'm deeply sorry if this offended you for some reason,

I'm not sure why you think I am offended.
I mean they asked for a client list and she paid a data scientist $18k to fake one. I guess at some point the question is "do i believe this person is committing fraud on the due diligence requests we already made"
I remember when they tried the same thing with salt.
When I’m gaming my cpu (11700k) puts out about 50 watts (some cores moderately busy). The gpu (3080) puts out 320 watts!!!

Tbh I like it in winter, warms my living room up nicely. In summer I just run my aircons more, but I also usually game less because the weather is nice.
I'm sure there's a joke somewhere about company goals and hitting OKRs
It sounds like malicious (but not really) compliance would quickly get this solved.

This would go something like an open letter to management and the public.

"Dear metro users and management,

On X date we will compile with the rules. We'll all stop using our phones. If our radios aren't working we're required to run the trains even slower to maintain safety. (Hopefully that's actually a rule.)

We understand this will effectively shutdown the metro, but it needs funding to operate safely. We cannot in good conscious continue endangering the lives of our passengers and ourselves."

The public will demand funding.
Agree that outright fraud should be punished. But, I think it's the more insidious forms of misrepresentation that cause most of the harm. Things like: exaggerating core KPI's by 1-20%, including organic traffic in the denominator of CPA, amortizing sales & marketing expenses, calculating retention based on self-selected cohorts, etc. As a case study, take a look at Talkspace's SPAC (https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/TALK/financials?p=TALK). There's no way this company got to public markets at a $1b valuation without serious misrepresentation of their marketing performance.
I wonder if all of their computer systems have ECC RAM. Kinda doubt it.
I've been using flaxseed and tapioca flour egg replacers for years- they're easy to use and cheap. They're also great if you're looking to reduce cholesterol. This could be a time to shine for egg replacement products like JUST Egg, however it is quite simple to make your own at home.
I really need to ship my mountain bike out here.
> Because its not 1800 anymore

I don't think that's it - the Commonwealth countries only really started in the mid 20th century. Yes, the conversion isn't complete or stalled, but it has at least partially occurred.
I wonder if HN — both submissions and comments — has been compromised. If not yet, it's inevitable.
Well, he did personally misuse the platform, but go for the company. Idk. I’m not a lawyer and I don’t know how 230 plays into this, but his actions could have led to an innocent person getting hurt.
Who has the time to listen to police scanners every waking moment on the minuscule chance that they may yield useful information?? This is not a healthy way to live.

Also, your story is not very compelling. There's a small chance something bad may have happened to you, but probably not. Near miss stories aren't very useful as the miss is almost invariably not as close as it appears to the person experiencing it.
Part of it comes down to the fact that Citizen has a pretty comically bad track record. It hasn't even been a week since they texted Billie Eilish's home address to a few hundred thousand people, and many haven't forgotten about their previous app "Vigilante" (most well-known for falsely accusing random strangers of various crimes).

On some level, I might agree with you. If Citizen was a crowdsourced non-profit, maybe it would be a healthy relationship. As a business, they directly profit from your fear and insecurity.
I agree with you basically, especially in the with regards to "The political ramifications of this make it difficult to discuss openly."

The mainstream accepted view on human population differences is so schizoid to me. On the one hand, you're supposed to believe that "race is a social construct", and indeed many aspects of race/ethnicity are arbitrary and socially constructed.

On the other hand, it's well documented and widely accepted that huge number of measurable and physical traits including skin color, eye color, hair color, hair consistency, face shape, height potential, facial hair growth, and susceptibility to both genetic and infectious diseases (see for example, Cystic Fibrosis and Northern Europeans, Sickle-Cell anemia and Sub-Saharan Africans), are strongly correlated with race and ancestry.

But you're supposed to believe that the same genetic variation that causes all of these physical differences between groups has no effect at all on behavioral differences. Personally, I don't understand how one can honestly reconcile that. I understand why it's not discussed in the current milieu, and I understand that it's potentially very dangerous to the existing social order, but as far as I'm concerned it's a pretty obvious thing to anyone who is willing to see it.

Zen (YC S21) Is Hiring a Growth Engineer
If you sell a facility to another company, under labor law that company is a "successor" and is inherits the union & contract. I haven't researched but I suspect Kroger went a little further than just selling their warehouse, e.g. they probably actually shut down a facility and started using a 3rd party with a different facility with new staff.
what you say is true for england and sometimes france, for certain, and likely about germany too. germans are different, though: iirc they allow two metals to touch, too, and other stuff.

it’s also possible that OP has a badge of a city or council or guild or whatever too.
How in the hell is the CEO not in prison??
That’s true of any company going out of business.

We don’t typically count it against employees for future hiring when that happens though.
This should be investigated, and he should probably be reprimanded. He should quickly disclose any other documents he's kept, and if he's found to be repeatedly lying, he should lose his security clearance -- and probably prosecuted.

Though at the rate the Justice Department has been proceeding on his predecessor, I don't expect them to achieve any of that for several years. If they were to do any of that before handling previous cases, it will seem to me more like partisanship than serious treatment of the material.
The secondary question is if the quantity of cholesterol in a food causes the body to have higher cholesterol, or if it’s more complex than that. Because yes, per gram eggs have many times more cholesterol than red meat. But what if it’s something else present in red meat that increases metabolization or production of cholesterol? We just don’t really understand the body well enough to say for sure.
Well, there are options - but it isn't like they are popular.
> Break check is not the only reason one slams on the breaks

No, but it is a reason that is illegal, which is the point. If you brake check someone (and they have a dashcam to prove it), you'll be paying the fines and the repairs.
There is literally zero risk of this for the sites that are chosen for storage, and the method of storage, even if it was directly below your home, is also at zero risk of causing this to happen. It isn't stored in leaking metal drums with green ooze falling down the side, and Jimbo doesn't occasionally knock one over when he sits on one for a lunch break.
Everyone has an opinion and mine is to walk across the street from Dalessandro's and go to Chubby's instead :)

I'm just not a fan of how finely they chop the meat at Dalassandro's.
I just listened to this guy on Rogan - absolutely blew my mind - https://zeihan.com/end-of-the-world

tl;dr as others have pointed out 'globalization' is another term for Bretton Woods , i.e. subsidizing countries to be the USA's friend to defeat USSR, and now that USSR isn't a threat, the subsidies no longer make sense.
And for 1-bit, Atkinson dithering can produce good effect. Floyd-Steinberg and Atkinson are the only two I'd usually consider for 1-bit dithering, with a preference for Atkinson for most images.

Ordered dithering, even at 8-bit, is…not my cup of tea.

I know that people have criticized copyleft for decades as being unfree in some sense, and I suppose citing either FSF's definition or those derived from it would be circular in the sense that they were all written by people who assumed that copyleft was acceptable.

But those definitions are clear that the "right to run the program for any purpose" must not be restricted by copyright licensing terms, and that copyright licensing "must not restrict anyone from making use of the program in a specific field of endeavor". Neither of those are infringed by restrictions on further distribution. (In fact, even freeware licenses that prohibited redistribution entirely could be compatible with this specific rule.)

You might say that it was surprising or hypocritical not to have a corresponding freedom related to redistribution, which would then preclude copyleft licensing. The BSD projects have tended to act as though they recognized this additional rule (that it's important to allow sublicensing and not to attach the same conditions to derived works, including allowing the possibility that end users of derived works will get fewer rights). But even in this case, nobody has suggested that it was "free" or "open" to directly limit the purposes for which end users could run a program.
> There have been several studies that have shown eggs to be healthy. There are several studies that show they are unhealthy. Bias is a real problem in nutrition science.

Mostly because "healthy" is a bit subjective.

If some study finds a correlation between egg consumption and a +1% chance of developing a rare cancer - who really cares? When you look at how rare the cancer is, when you might develop it, and the small increase in probability - you're looking at maybe a -1 day life expectancy for a life-time worth of consuming eggs.

Why is living 1 less day "unhealthy" - especially compared to all the other ways one can be "unhealthy"?
The "self correcting tendencies" of democracy didn't stop said democracies from doing the same type of errors not even 2 decades ago in iraq (invading a sovreign nation). I don't know why we would except any better from an authoritarian country, and I honestly don't know if anyone really did?
Good GFCI receptacles are almost 10x the cost. Adding them everywhere would add a few thousand extra to building costs.

In any case, new houses must use arc fault breakers which do the same thing and more for most things.

I would add that big motors will trip these every time, so they aren’t usable for every circuit.
Surf every day.

I’m not sure if you can do this job remotely, but you say you’re coastal … military … San Diego perhaps?

Anyway, the thing to do is the thing everybody else at every other stage of life wishes they could do.

There are billionaires who wish they could just surf every day.

Higher wages will attract workers from other companies/sectors. Those companies that can't pay market wage will have to automate or raise prices. Or cut profits..
The Ruby “mail” gem is broken since December 3, 2022
I don't think this is 'inflation'. A few companies have realized that there is effectively no consumer protections when it comes to price gouging, they will continue to raise prices until they experience some pain in this regard.

The issue is an anti-trust issue and consolidation.
> a company attempting to promote enough general anxiety in their users to drive them into the profit funnel

Would you apply the same level of scrutiny to the media?

Their modern day business model seems to be overwhelming people with fear/anger porn to keep them agitated and coming back as often as possible for more.
It’s speech to texting the police scanners or dispatch. It means somebody called it in as shots fired.
Early Reddit's comments were suspiciously too smart/clever. When telling people about Reddit early on, I'd warn them that I suspected Reddit was using professional writers as shills (but that that wasn't entirely a negative).

Gaming the karma and other facets of the system was pretty much always a sport.

Then it got popular, and by then it seemed third-party astroturfing/shilling and gaming owned the front page.
I like how it’s convenient for economic theorists and political historians to point to anything that existed in the 1980s US and claim that the Cold war was won because of that thing.

Somehow they ignore the fact that those things existed pre-Reagan and the pathetic state they were in economically, socially and politically regardless.
The app will take every dumb 911 complaint at face value. Most 911 complaints simply aren't accurate. For every one real gunshot called in, there's many more that end up being a car backfiring, fireworks, etc. And this is true for nearly every category of call 911 gets. Putting the unfiltered feed on a map and sending proximity alerts to app users is less than useless.

Do you have any evidence?
Maybe you can clarify. I said that the statement that "pronoun obsessed people are narcissistic" is not possible to justify without being transphobic. ie: it assumes transphobia. I'm not sure how that translates into me being transphobic, but I'm willing to listen.
1) Tech is very long duration asset, higher interest rates mean shorter runway for tech companies which implies cost-cutting.

2) Many economist predict that this downturn will hit high/middle salaried jobs harder then low salaried jobs. This is due to demographic, social changes and simple fact that cutting few well paid jobs bring much more savings for companies.

There won't be thousands of jobs left in say construction or farming...
Anonimity is a fantasy that makes no sense if you think for a few seconds about it. There is always another person, a company or bank at the other end.

The key issue isn’t anonimity but policy and politics. No technology can be above any law by definition.
The imperial system is yet a third system, formerly used in the British Empire and a few other countries. There are important differences between it and the U.S. customary system.

For instance, the imperial gallon is about 4.5 liters, while the U.S. gallon is only about 3.78 liters.

The imperial system used to be much worse... there were separate gallons for wine, ale, grain, etc. About the only vestige of this is in barrels, where a barrel of beer is not the same size as a barrel of oil.

There's also an avoirdupois system, which is similar, but once again, not identical, with the imperial and U.S. systems, and the troy system used for precious metals and things of that nature.
How fortunate we are that silicon is so abundant.
Building Furniture from Construction Lumber
Apology and pity stack - Bernie and Martha at least took the hit.
Yeah, sorry. There’s a lot of side threads to read and potentially respond to.
I dunno what else is in the bucket they use to calculate it. Maybe that other stuff is cheap (TVs? Furniture? Other stuff I don't need to buy all the time, I suppose?). I've always felt like grocery costs were going up quite a bit faster than inflation, since I started shopping for my own groceries in the early '00s. Like, they definitely weren't rising at merely 2-3%/yr in the pre-Covid years. It's just super-painful now because the increases are so extreme.
> This is a ridiculous belief. Police scanners (and likely this app) alert people to real crimes being committed and under certain conditions can save lives. My uncle constantly had a police scanner on when I was young and it alerted us to a man in our neighborhood being pursued after shooting his roommate in the head.

I'm going to be pedantic about this, because it matters in a civil society: police scanners relay police knowledge about suspected crimes. They aren't judge, jury, and executioner, and the fact that people uncritically regurgitate them is exactly how we end up in the situations like the Citizen CEO's own mob justice[1].

Nobody wants you to get hurt, and there are cases where listening to the scanner may very well have saved lives. But the overwhelming public interest is against treating them as solemn truth, much less turning them into a Fear App on your phone.

ADHD Brains on Screens: Decoding a Complicated Relationship
The fact that someone is processing so much biometrical data makes me feel very uneasy. I know governments and 3-letter agencies do this for a long time, but still. Not exactly sure what revenge porn is, but I think I get the idea.
I may be an outlier but I really liked the idea of citizen, but just wish it had a better implementation (UI and filters) .

People often complain that it led to fear-mongering, but I thought it was a valuable tool for Environmental awareness and community policing.

The people can't reconcile the reality of the world around them with their and irrational fears, that strikes me as a personal problem. I for one just wanted the real time data and could take it from there.

Example of times where it would have been helpful was when there was a an arm suspect hiding out in my neighborhood and another time where I went to a shopping center where there was a armed standoff. More mundane examples are understanding why the Bay Bridge is closed or roads are blocked.

Twitter and local news are the next best alternative, but the time delay and poor geolocation make them unsuitable alternatives.

Hopefully another company comes along with a better business model for aggregating police radio data and eyewitness reports
To piggy back this comment, Federated Learning actually has a lot of other uses beyond just crowdsourcing. It has benefits to data privacy also. The medical industry has struggled sharing their data with other institutions without compromising their information. They're using it to decentralize the model making process.

That’s just not true. Solar makes sense even in the far North, North of the arctic circle. I ran the numbers and deployed, it’s been profitable since day 1.

Now you did.

The airplane doesn't care about the gender or sex of the pilot. There is no pandering in that observation.
My heat pump will say how much kWh of heat it has output (~2400kWh last month). I also have a separate electrical meter just for the heat pump that tells me how much electricity it consumed (~700kWh last month). I simply divide the heat output by the electricity consumed which gives me a COP of ~3.4.

I can connect the meter to the heat pump, in which case the pump will use pulses from the meter to calculate it internally, but i havent set that up.

I have no idea why it doesnt come with an integrated meter... seems like that would be easier tbh.
My take is this:

If I see 90%+ CPU load (being "efficient"), I need a bigger CPU.

If I hardly see any CPU load, I am being effective.

Ergo, the biggest CPU I can afford is the best choice.

I don't consider unused CPU power as waste, I see it as relief from worrying about capping out.
On the contrary, suburbs are horrible places for kids. Walkable and safe city centers are much better. Suburban homes are also much more expensive (in absolute terms) and time consuming than a city home.

A child is almost completely helpless to travel and roam in a modern suburb until they turn 16 and get their drivers license and access to a car. A suburban home is an island of isolation that keeps a child locked under its parents control and gives very little opportunity for a child to develop a strong sense of independence in the real world.
