> The first sentence of my first comment was literally "I guess everyone griefs differently".

How is this comment even meaningful if you don't support the article author's own way of grieving?

> But apparently we're not allowed to express our opinion anymore?

This is ironic when you consider the article author's expression of his opinion to be "particularly distasteful". You're not even disagreeing on substantive points, you just seem to think it was wrong of him to express his opinion in the way that he did. Nothing more than tone policing.
Cheap Food Items to Buy When They’re on Sale
I had to read that section three times to make sure I was parsing all of the involved parties correctly. You know you've lost the argument when you defend your client by saying they're just acting as the mob would.
This is my experience. Sometimes I think it actually makes me avoid clicking on videos that cover new topics. Especially if it's something gross or weird I'm about to click on out of morbid curiosity. It's like, "hmmm.... do I really want to be spammed with recs for videos on this for the next three weeks?"
Why do people go to YouTube? To be entertained, or to learn something.

The more videos you watch, isn’t that a strong signal that the user’s needs are served better?
Social mobility is the wrong metric. The economic mobility in the US -- the ability to increase your absolute income -- is far higher than in Europe. Countries with compressed wages have high social mobility, almost by definition, by low economic mobility. Since the US experiences very low wage compression compared to most countries, it will never be "socially mobile" but will have anomalously high wages for a large portion of the population.
> What if you discover fraud or criminality after the ticket is sold but before entry? Leave this lawyer tempest in a teapot aside for the moment, I'm talking unambiguous crime.

Do you mean crime related to the ticket purchase or event, e.g., stealing a credit card that you then use to buy the tickets with, or do you mean if you just happened to have committed an unrelated crime in the past?
> I really want to like the gmail trick with . and +

This is not a gmail trick. It has been in common usage at least since the very early 90s (but may predate that), it was a fairly universal convention.

2008 Toyota Tundra with 208k miles. I needed a truck to tow a toy hauler and also to take my dirt bike to the track. I also race down in Mexico and the truck is old enough that I'm not worried what happens to it, but it's still reliable not to leave me stranded.

My wife drives a 1967 Chevy Nova with an 525hp LS3. We sold her BMW 435i because used car prices were ridiculous and we got an offer for only $2k less then we bought it for 5 years earlier.

We both work from home so MPG of our cars were not a concern.

The immune system is one of the reasons why I stopped believing in large scale evolution. I still believe small scale evolution exists, but I do not believe that our immune system came about randomly.

There are two main factors to our immune system that protect us:

1) all our cells are marked uniquely and exactly the same across every cell in our body. Every human, and I think every animal, has this same feature where all cells are marked the same. But unless there was an immune system to enforce this, it has no value. If it were random you would expect every cell to be marked randomly but it’s not.

2) our immune system is designed to attack anything that isn’t marked with that unique identification. If we had random identification per cell, the immune system we have couldn’t be created.

This system couldn’t be designed separately. It’s essentially a single transaction two-step evolution that simply couldn’t have been done randomly at different points in time. If you created an immune system that attacked things that weren’t marked the cell across all cells, the organism would die because the immune system would attack itself the way transplant patients would. The immune system we have couldn’t be created unless all the cells were marked the same.

Both parts (unique identification are the same across all cells, and the immune system that attacks any other things that aren’t marked the same) must have been created at the same time.

If anyone has any counter arguments I would love to hear it because I’ve been thinking about this long and hard during Covid and couldn’t think of anything else.

> Except that effort may well make much of Youtube/Facebook/Instagram/Snapchat illegal as well

It won't, because the primary rationale for banning TikTok in the US is driven by the CCP-related fear-mongering (whether it is justified or not is a separate question), with a little dash of other common "scary" flavors mixed-in (privacy, algorithms shaping your feed, etc.).

As long as YT/IG/Snapchat aren't companies based in China, the hypothetical banhammer hitting TikTok won't even touch them.
Hey HN! Excited to share Lenny's Podcast Search with the HN community.

I'm a big fan of Lenny Rachitsky, devouring every single edition of his newsletter and podcast.

This product is exactly what it says on the tin. A semantic search engine on top of Lenny's Podcast content.

Let me know what you think.
Interesting! Do I understand correctly that the additional water storage just cycles between 0°C and below room temperature to further cool/preheat the coolant? Hard to believe it could have such a big effect.

And how does it fit into existing setup? I can imagine it can be connected before water boiler to supply the lukewarm water.
> The annual limit determines if you need to report your gift to the IRS or not, but nothing else.

It can lead to problems with your estate when you die, and result in penalties and interest (from the date of the gift). See https://www.forbes.com/sites/bobcarlson/2022/02/24/avoid-the...

> If you stay below the annual limit every year, you will never exceed the lifetime limit, unless you and the recipient live to 140 or something, so the different limits are related, but that's it.

Actually, if you stay below the annual gift limit every year, you can never exceed the lifetime limit. Only gifts in excess of the annual limit count toward the lifetime amount.

Many scientists think of their data as proprietary, and want to prevent other researchers from getting it and publishing on it. This is at odds with any lip service they may pay to open science, and, often, at odds with the explicit requirements of their funders. As noted in this article, they often deny reasonable requests for data, or just ignore the requests altogether. Of course, everybody wants access to other people's data.

> Whenever I click a Short, I am extremely annoyed.

Why do you keep clicking it?
I wish apps had some kind of history for the things you said "no" to. Everything is constantly getting in user's way with some pop-ups, usually specifically to try to get me to do or agree to something I don't want, that I'm conditioned to blindly find the non-highlighted button and click it. Especially as these pop-ups usually come just as I visit the site to get something done. Sometimes (often, actually) my brain realizes that the dialog contained (or may have contained) something interesting/actually relevant only after it's already gone.

I found the "red notification dot" works really well. It's nagging enough that I will take a look at it, but doesn't get in my way like a pop-up. I can first get my task done, then look at what it's about, instead of having to choose between interrupting my task and swatting away this obnoxious wall in my face. If you try to force something on me, I'm already much more likely to hate and not want it.
What did you do to make it retina?
The problem is that the different fabs are, well, different. While on a high level they are basically doing the same thing, the actual process itself can vary quite a bit.

While you start with a fairly generic design, the final production artifacts are highly specialized to the fab. The fab essentially provides a "library" of components which are used to translate the generic design into something ready for production.

Switching fabs means re-engineering your design, re-running prototypes, re-validating basically every single part of your chip. This is a process which can easily take many months, perhaps even a year. Not to mention significant engineering costs.

Doing all this once is acceptable because you can just keep using that single design for decades. That's why each individual chip can be so cheap: production cost is near-zero, and engineering cost can be amortized over a giant volume.

No the deviation is deliberately manufactured here. The oop pedantism is obvious. Smalltalk was the first but the word as evolved, everyone knows that. Including you but you pretend not to know this.

I never said this It was said by me and another poster that YOU are the one off on this bent of being overly pedantic about terms.

I think you're just trolling now. This kind of thing is against the rules here fyi.
The example above was political opinion/affiliation, but sure we can also consider the situation of the lawyers.

If congress can invent the authority out of thin air to govern intrastate commerce with regard to enforcing all of the now protected classes, I'm curious why you think they absolutely cannot also deal with discrimination on the basis of political affiliation or whether one is affiliated with an entity litigating something you disagree with.
One thing weird about shorts is how Youtube shows you a horizontal list of shorts it thinks you will like, and I generally do (for me they are recipes and health related).

Yet when you click into one and scroll through them, instead of showing you the other shorts on the recommended list, it shows you general trending shorts.

Always thought that was weird. In other words you have to click one, then navigate back and click into each other recommendation.
Hi everyone,

It is a notes app designed for software developers. I have build this as a side project. Here are some of the features

2. Take notes for git repositories and branches
3. Different types of editors like - Monaco editor (VS code), diagrams, TODO etc.

Some people want to avoid futzing with tech for some things to whatever extent they can avoid it. Even some people otherwise immersed in tech.
While I loathe the term slippery slope, my reasons are different.

Opponents of slippery slopes like to make the assumption the slope is steeper than what the original author may have had in mind. And so because we don’t find ourselves slipping down the slope fast enough, they declare the original argument bunk.

For example, in your argument about gay marriage, we haven’t accepted pedophilia and bestiality yet. But how long has gay marriage been legalized? What if the slope to pedophilia is 50 years long? We don’t know if in the future the stigma of being a “minor attracted person” will have worn off and people will be permitted to marry whoever or whatever they want without restrictions. Indeed, if someone will be happy marrying a dog because they have no faith in dating culture in the year 2060, why stop them? There is precedent for expanding the definition of marriage. What is the harm, especially as marriage grows increasingly meaningless and only provides an economic benefit?

So yea I hate slippery slopes. They are easily misrepresented.
It’s very annoying to me that google won’t recommend topics I was into years ago.
I've unfortunately taken a car to its limits by neglecting to change the oil (depression). They go fine and then they fail quite fast and permanently. Amazing how long it lasted without any noticeable effects, though!

Most people change their oil way, way too often. Places like Jiffy Lube will tell you every 3 months or 3000 miles because they make more money that way, but if you look at your manual it's more likely to say 6k miles with crude and have no time based recommendation. Synthetic oil you can go something like 10k IIRC.
Edit: the-ebook-reader.com is a much better source for information about about this change. https://blog.the-ebook-reader.com/2023/01/13/amazon-has-disa...

Is there a source for this that isn’t goodereader? The writing on that site is badly in need of an editor. It consistently gets basic facts about stories wrong.

For example, right in the first sentence is a factual error, as pointed out by many people in this thread:

“Amazon announced it has made some changes with regard to the e-books purchased via the Kindle Unlimited program.“

Books are not “purchased” through the Kindle Unlimited program.
I was _very_ sceptical of Netflix (the streaming incarnation, not ye olde postal DVD thingy); I didn't think the economics could be made to work, or that everyone would buy an AppleTV or similar to use it (I very much wasn't counting on smarttvs...)
Yes, at least I think so. That's why we so often try to approximate analog with psuedo-continuous data patterns like samples and floats. Even going beyond electronic computing, we invented calculus due to similar limitations with discrete data in mathematics.

Of course, these are all just approximations of analog. Much like emulation, there are limitations, penalties, and inaccuracies that will inevitably kneecap applications when compared to a native implementation running on bare metal (though, it seems that humans lack a proper math coprocessor, so calculus could be considered no more "native" than traditional algebra).

We do sometimes see specialized hardware emerge (DSPs in the case of audio signal processing, FPUs in the case of floats, NPUs/TPUs in the case of neural networks), but these are almost always highly optimized for operations specific to analog-like data patterns (e.g.: fourier transforms) rather than true analog operations. This is probably because scalable/reliable/fast analog memory remains an unsolved problem (semiconductors are simply too useful).
> I am skeptical even the bottom line gains from it.

By the time the parent company realises there's no money to be made hosting endless amounts of stupid, repetitive and crappy content aimed at attention-deficient children, bonuses would've been paid and promotions would've been offered - the latter is what drives this crap, not necessarily some hypothetical bottom-line impact that's hard to measure and easy to excuse away should it not pan out.
“unlikely” based on what?

Your narrative is counter to the industry’s expectations of itself. Your narrative is counter to the research and science already showcased in labs.

So I just want to understand your perspective better. What sources are you using to justify “unlikely”, or are you using intuition?

Keep in mind exponential curves are very hard for humans to grasp and even harder for humans to believe, but the super majority of the time those curves hold for many decades.
Wouldn't using a lake as a heat/cooling source cause "thermal pollution"? It's probably fine if a couple houses surrounding the lake use it, but if the technology begins mainstream enough to where everyone is using it, it could cause a lot of issues for the flora and fauna of that lake / downstream habitats.
Wait, you are telling a bunch of technologists that no technology is perfect? Stop the presses! Which, dang it, are clearly also an imperfect technology if we have to stop them every time there's fresh news.
Indeed. It's funny how the worst polluters worldwide are the ones doing the least on a practical level. But talk is cheap I suppose.

What counts as "abuse"? Besides those enumerated special reasons like ethnicity, sex, religion, disability, you can ban someone from your business for ANY reason or even no reason. If the business owner doesn't like green shirts, he can ban you for wearing a green shirt. Is this abuse? If the business owner doesn't like how you smell, he can ban you. Abuse? They can even make a mistake and ban the wrong person. Is that abuse?
The headline here is deceptive. Nothing in the article mentions any plans by "America's trustbusters to curtail the use of non-compete clauses". Rather, this is a short essay about non-competes, explaining why they are a bad idea. The article ends with a call-to-action:

> California, the global hq of disruptive innovation, goes a step further and bans non-competes altogether. The FTC should do the same, on the grounds that they are anticompetitive.
Seems like they accommodate using custom/third party physics engines as well, according to the post. The built in one is probably just gonna end up "easy to use, get started and just works", but if you need something better, integrate PhysX yourself.

Sorry, but I don't see any novelty here. Everything described in the article is commercially available. At least here in Germany.

Heat pumps are used to heat a storage container called buffer, a water container of 200l or more of water. This is used to run the heat pump when energy is cheap to warm up the buffer. That is for example in daytime when energy is available from the photovoltaic. If you don't have photovoltaic you can also have a good energy price when running this at night.

Also the storage of the heat in summer is nothing new. These systems are also commercially available for years. It is only that they are so expansive that many companies have backed out of those.

The idea here is that in summer time you heat up a big tank in the ground like with a thermal system on your roof. Then in winter time you use that "saved" energy to run the heat pump. At the end of the winter the water in the tank will likely be freezing. That state change of the water will give an additional energy boost, because it is the same amount of energy you need to boil water. All this is well known and working and commercially available for years.

Out of curiosity: given that virtually all features in Java were adopted from other languages (almost always less popular ones) so there clearly is no aversion to that, and given the level of experience and success of the Java team, not to mention their clear interest in Java's success -- i.e. they have both the motivation and ability to do what's best for Java -- what possible reason do you think they have to do something that to you seems so obviously wrong?

Moreover, why do you conclude that propertied are the only right choice, seeing that Java is far from being the only language without them? You should, at best, conclude that some language designers like them and some don't.

That refers to pattern matching and withers. Records don't have properties either.
My parents built a new home a couple years ago. The property had a well despite being on city water. They have other homes with ground source heat pumps. When asking the geothermal contractor if they could use the same well borehole, the contractor said why don’t we just circulate the water and not bother the existing well. So that’s what they do - their geothermal system uses the well water, circulates it through the condenser, then sends the water back down into the ground.
Someone else mentioned speed limit enforcement (or really a lot of traffic laws generally). There's essentially a contract between people and the state whereby most people accept that there are traffic laws that they'll loosely follow and the state can enforce the laws but will almost universally ignore or miss minor infractions.

The situation would be quite a bit different in the US if automated tickets were sent out (or money were just deducted from a bank account) every time someone went 5 miles per hour over the speed limit.
Related to being in attendance at the event. The local KKK branch intending to smuggle tiki torches and presumably their charming incantations to the annual Diversity and Inclusion gala. (Presumably that would be criminal due to the contents of their slogans, though in America I'm not sure anything said or chanted qualifies as hate crime, like it would in my country).

I mean, they purchased tickets, so let 'em in and let 'em have at it, no?

Edit: Okay, I'll give a less ridiculous example, one that involves nuisance but not criminality.

I come from Ukraine; Alex Ovechkin is a Putin fanboy who refuses to condemn the invasion and genocide of my erstwhile compatriots. If I form a group of people who attend hockey games to heckle and accuse Ovechkin of being a genocide supporter, can MSG kick out a new member of my organization after learning of their joining? They won't sell me a ticket, they know I cause trouble. But he just joined, bought a ticket, then their security team got the updated the Facebook group member list.
