I've gone through several studies and you are not representing the field fairly. There are many studies going both ways. It's far from a slam dunk consensus. Furthermore, there is absolutely no question that fluoride is toxic. It's just a question whether the amounts in water and toothpaste are enough to cause measurable negative effects.

Considering this, why don't we add things like B12, magnesium, and vitamin D to the water? They are all deficient in a large percentage of the population and cause severe problems, far worse than dental caries. The reason they are not is because it's not the business of the water supply to act as medicine for the general populace. It should come from individual products. You see fortified foods and vitamins, as well as fluoride toothpaste and mouth washes.
Harry Turtledove also wrote a series of alternate history novels (called the world war series) based on a similar idea. In it, the aliens’ civilization progresses very slowly. A few centuries of human progress would take them millennia. They send a probe to earth in the middle ages, mark earth for an easy conquest, and show up during world war 2 where they find an almost evenly matched adversary. It’s pretty contrived, but an easy and amusing read.

I was under the impression that weather balloons fly well above the max altitude of commercial airliners (60k ft). It seems significant that the last 3 “objects” have been encountered at typical airliner altitudes (40k ft or under)
I got one of these earlier. I found it highly suspicious that the sender was "Namecheap".

What’s their source of lithium? Can’t read the article.
The defenders of a territory under attack aren't put in that position by any real choice of their own - none that is practical anyway. Being able to live with themselves after the conflict is over, being able to re-integrate them into civilized society, is an important facet of maintaining a peaceful society.

You don't plan for everything going well (no one ever goes for war). You plan for when things don't.

I literally want the _opposite_ of that. Chrome makes it so that a Window is specific to a profile. Makes it very simple to keep say Work and Home profiles separate, for example. Especially if you set color schemes for each window.

Ask HN: Can the Dawn Project make critical software secure?
The Dawn Ptoject (https://dawnproject.com/) had a commercial during the Super Bowl criticizing Tesla's full self driving. Reading their about page they claim that the methods used in defense contracting software can be used to make civilian mission critical software secure and bug free. Is this legit ? Would be interested in comments from those who have experience in mission critical systems and methods promoted by the Dawn Project.

Wow!! From just east of Aachen, perfectly visible. Turning from a point of light coming down into a "oh wow that's really cool" into an actual fireball at >400 km horizontal distance! Holy crap that was exhilarating

Edit: I was expecting that it would be too far away, also with Aachen's city glow and the highway, that nothing would be visible, or at best, a point appearing and disappearing at basically the same location in the haze of city glow. Compared to that, I'm absolutely blown away. Will post a video in a few minutes, just took the 380MB thing off my phone, now cropping to the right ~10 seconds, rotating, that stuff

Edit again: here we are finally https://lgms.nl/files/Sar2667-Aachen.mp4 Quite sad it defocused, and you'll need an x264 decoder in your browser I think (I used `ffmpeg -c:v copy` to avoid losses, so it's whatever encoding my phone uses), should work in a local video player if you download it.

A friend found this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8owpwqzBEPA

Location estimate, based on where I saw it plus this video https://twitter.com/meteordoc/status/1624967987294765059 from Brighton looking over a pier: <https://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=50.0761&mlon=0.5335#map=...>. It became visible to me at 03:59:13 GMT+1/CET and exploded 5 seconds later, with my phone's clock sync being ~0.6s behind so it might have been 03:59:14

Got so lucky finding that Brighton video as the 2nd result earlier. Spent another 15 minutes looking for a third angle but the "looking east", "looking south" indicated angles are either implausible or too inaccurate to be useful. A Paris video is of such quality that I couldn't for the life of me find out which buildings are in view to map it to an angle. This location guess is going to be my final estimate.
I use tests all the time when implementing new features I haven’t implemented before. It makes me think about the API before implementing it and gives me a way to auto test it which is excellent.
I just came to edit my post

looks like this is standard for superbowl flyovers
Or even worse, and more likely, just one one side (wing drop). Then you're really doomed. Happened recently on an ATR I think.

I did some flying with a hood - no ability to see outside but I could see instruments. It was uncanny, and I got totally disoriented.

The only thing that saved me is that as a former sim jockey I was used to flying just on the instruments and I knew it was very unlikely that they went wrong just as I was flying blind. So I focussed on the instruments and ignored the feeling that the plane was literally flying on its side.

It is very unsettling.
There's a release from 2021
There's always been a very strong one version policy, multiple versions are usually only allowed to coexist for weeks or months, and are usually visibility restricted.

This prevents situations where "Gmail" ends up bundling 4 different, mildly incompatible versions of MySQL or whatever, and the aggravation that would cause. Or worse, in c++ you get ODR violations due to a function being used from two versions of the same library.

Walking away is certainly a powerful tool, but it shouldn't be your only tool.

The old maxim is that every human problem has at least two answers: Voice and Exit. Exit is leaving - and you should never take that off the table. But Voice (speaking up, changing the culture around you) is incredibly powerful. Getting good at voice is to get good at leadership.

Strong leaders - at any level in an organisation - can change the culture around them, to a certain extent. For good or ill. Not all culture comes from outside of us. Some, we get to create.

> you have to look at the whole imaging system

Agree 100%.

To match actual resolution of something like a PhaseOne 150mp sensor with 4x5 film, you need to be getting ~55lpm on film. Which is not difficult with decent lenses at working apertures.

Scanning the resulting negative or transparency at that res (~2800ppi) without any loss is also not difficult with a drum scanner. Not everyone has a drum scanner, sure, but then the comparison is between digital sensors and consumer scanners, not sensors and film.

I've measured image detail on drum scans of 6x9 Tri-X negatives I shot handheld, and as far as I can tell 40lpm was the lower bound of detail. So, I'm confident I could produce as 4x5 colour neg/transparency that exceeds any PhaseOne sensor in terms of resolution.
I know this shouldn't be funny, I know it meant to illustrate how the big corporation is bad or some larger message.

I laughed, because its funny - if you believe in the afterlife, imagine for a moment that you have to explain "yeah, I drowned to death in chocolate" upon arrival.

It is definitely related to it being a deep ground loop geothermal setup. An air-to-air heat pump is trying to get heat out of air that has less heat as it gets colder. A ground loop heat pump is trying to get heat out of water that is not affected by the temperature of the outside air.

With an air-to-air heat pump, you need a backup system for when it gets too cold out for the heat pump to pull enough heat out of the air, and for power outages. With a ground loop heat pump, you only need a backup system for when the power goes out because the ground water will never be too cold for the heat pump to pull heat out of.

I don't have time now to read the post but that's not surprising at all. First, Open AI has much stronger people than the average academic so they will work with better people. Second, Open AI pays 3-4 times what a junior professor makes. Finally, academia became so obsessed with industry in recent years that they are too toxic. In deep learning most of the important papers in recent years came from industry. Then academics realized they are behind so they published papers on how dangerous those things are. We all know who is laughing now.
They didn't fall, they were cleaning the tank without appropriate safety equipment and became stuck in the sludge as it hardened. Here's the original police report, https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/22066069/report.pdf, via https://www.vice.com/en/article/7k8py9/new-documents-detail-...

Silver across frequencies, but engineered substances, the type used in laser safety devices, can have very good reflection at specific wavelengths without the weight of silver. For a flying object at any distance, anything close to 90% reflectivity for a few seconds would radically extend survival time. Local burn through can be survived as the beam will by dancing across the target.
Electric motors seem like the best way to combine huge amounts of torque and silence, which is what Rolls Royce is traditionally known for. Environmental consciousness or not.

Some say the most famous automotive ad tagline of all time is "At 60 miles an hour the loudest noise in this new Rolls-Royce comes from the electric clock".

They also used a knock-off of GM's "Hydra-Matic" automatic transmission for many years, because, you know, who else's design would be suitable for wafting down the road with perfect serenity?

I say nothing is more in character than an electric Rolls.
The change.org poll really blew up.
Bulma is fantastic!
This was denied as being known by the military presser, and the general involved also made the ridiculous claim that they shot it down entirely to prevent an accident to civilian air traffic.
This does not address GP's original concern: <<public-facing apps and databases>>
Unless you've been hired specifically to address a culture problem and been given the resources and powers with which to do so, don't be that guy. All the people who are in your immediate vicinity already know about the problems and they don't have the power to change it either.
Your default feelings should be horror, people rescued from these cooking vats alive can have all their skin peeling off before they die anyway.

Lucky they didn't fall, they were just working in the vat and it hardened, see the original report -

Thanks for sharing this!

It's yet another reason why I will stick with my pull on work boots. (I have a pathological hate of laces, I dont think I own a single shoe with them)
That presser kind of blew my mind. I was sure these were obviously ID'ed as balloons by now. And the general seems to have said that we've never shot anything down over the US before, we don't know what these are or where they came from, and that this is the first time we've shot anything down in history, while also saying they NORAD's job is to "defend the homeland" and have a policy of shooting down kinetic threats, but shot this one down anyway, which wasn't deemed to be a kinetic threat, but a threat to air traffic, except it's extremely hard to even see never mind run into by pilots to the point where they couldn't even shoot it.
ChatGPT has learned their stuff from old sources. Clearly it's exactly a year behind on facts!
I have had the same grim thought. Laser this powerful would be incredibly effective at damaging unprotected retinas. Even reflected laser light would be able to cause permanent damage.

I think that these lasers have not been used for this purpose yet is because of the inherent human psychological aversion to eye damage and the potential for escalation.
"It was ultimately scrapped in September 2014 after all usable parts were removed." says Wikipedia

doesn't sound like they were too happy with it.

Here's a guy who was raised as a prince. Dropped out of two universities. Then got a BSc in political science from private persian professors. Never had to work for anything, and then waited until other people started a movement and then he somehow has a claim to the movement once it started. His supporters then went on to attack anyone that suggested that should he really want to be a part of the movement he should put himself up to vote.

Not only that, but all his addresses where through representatives, never publicly decided to speak, probably because he would fail without his DC speechwriters and you sit here and tell us that he has majority support? In which universe?

It's funny how everyone keeps shouting how great democracy is, but then when it comes to actually putting themselves up for vote, they're "naaah, why would I risk not being elected".
Yes. Then I whipped out my nokia 3310 to film it and while filming I shaked a lot so I kept the quality desired by the community.
No I truly mean it. Sub 50k spending is the norm, not an exception. The higher the average salary here, the more relevant this observation is.
I suspect the biggest catch for 1, is that you do it from an account where losing all of the money is an acceptable outcome. Clearly not the preferred outcome. But will not destroy you financially.

Which leads in to 2. The idea is that you are aiming for algorithms that take into account the API fees. If you didn't account for that in the price of business, than this is the same as not accounting for taxes in how you pay for things. That is, you did it wrong.
UFO no, but close enough, sort of.. ~10 years ago; i was trying to sleep, and something bothered me enough to open my eyes, and i saw 2 orbs that were emitting an aura and flying in the middle of my room, i don't remember what happened next, but since that day i feel like i got the ability to know things i shouldn't know
That's an example of learned helplessness, it's very sad when it happens. No reason to encourage people to give into it, though.

Heat pumps aren't meant to be turned on and off. In fact, they aren't meant to have the thermostat changed either, even at night. You set it to what you want and it keeps it there. Once it gets the temp where you set it, it doesn't use much electricity to keep it there unless it is very cold, like below freezing and especially below -20C.

Due to your high ceilings, it might be prudent to install ceiling fans to help circulate the heat, but I'm not a heating expert so I recommend asking one.
Your story doesn't make any sense. Was this guy trading his own account, or was he employed as a proprietary trader, or was he running his own little investment fund using another company's platform? In any case, a legitimate trader won't be "locked out".

The UI is not functional for me on Firefox mobile. If I select an example there's no way for me to go to the selected article link without losing the selection, and the link is dead.

Normally I might refrain from pointing this out but it's so ironically on point.

I appreciate what that site is trying to do, but in thinking about this sort of amusing irony it occurred to me that one of the advantages of something extremely simple and static — the closer to the printed page the better the example — the more foolproof it is. Interactivity opens up great possibilities for communication but also opportunities for errors and other forms of failure.

I'm not meaning this as a criticism, more as something to be mindful of in choosing a medium.

Yep. There is (in my opinion) a genealogical line that connects Futurism to Dada to Punk. Certainly their typography presents very similarly. In spirit, they all spent a lot of energy rejecting the status quo and not much in developing alternatives.
Relax. There were 2 sentences about it in the article.
My take is it is either:

- a foreign adversary toying with US Air Force finally getting to taste the sharp end of it

- or some secret USAF experiment getting out of hand

- USAF putting on a show

- something else
My wife and I live in an entirely different country from both our parents. Our first was born early last year, and my mother-in-law only just got a chance to come and help out for a few weeks.

Having family around to help take care of the kids makes a HUGE difference (and not just financially), particularly with two working parents. It's obviously doable without it, but if you have the option, I would strongly advise at least considering moving somewhere close to family who can help out.
