Here in Germany, the checklist is as follows - and government as well as insurances can and do audit companies if that is being followed:

- check for accessibility: is the location of the extinguisher properly marked on maps and does the wall have visible indicators that show where the extinguisher is? Can the extinguisher be reached and grabbed in an emergency or has random clutter accumulated next to it? Are the maps and indicator designs outdated? Are the indicator signs autoflourescent to make them visible even in the case of a fire-caused electrical blackout? Are there enough maps publicly visible that everyone can access one in case of emergency?

- for wall mounts: check if the holder is structurally sound or if someone ripped out half the screws by bumping into it?

- check if the tank itself hasn't expired. A tank usually is certified for ten years.

- inspect the extinguisher visually, look for dents etc. that may have led to corrosion of the tank or damage to the hose/nozzle (and subsequently a rupture risk should it be used). That is a very common occurrence in portable extinguishers that have been used as door stops.

- check if the extinguisher has been used / the seal been broken. If yes, that demands a full replacement of consumable parts (pressurizer agent, extinguisher agent, seals).

- check if the interior of the tank has been damaged by corrosion

- check if the pressurizer agent is not expired (most extinguishers here aren't permanently pressurized, instead they contain a CO2 cartridge) and weigh the cartridge to make sure it hasn't leaked

- check all O-rings and replace if necessary

I understand. The approach we took was to start new designs on KiCad and leave prior work on AD, unless a port is absolutely necessary.

All of our libraries are created using custom tools we wrote nearly 20 years ago. The good news is that these tools can be updated to regenerate the libraries for KiCad. That’ the power of a part description data structure that is independent from the EDA tool.

Starting with KiCad version 6.0 I saw no compelling reason to throw money at AD for the shit job they have been doing maintaining their software. At the end of the day people vote with their wallets. For me this isn’t about free at all. It’s about tool quality and other parameters. We are donating money to KiCad because it is going in the right direction. Altium is not. We were with them for over 20 years. They took us for granted. Goodbye.
I especially like the entirely random factor of two thrown in there -- everybody will get two accounts because why?
In my town, population went down but children-per-family decreased even more, effectively raising the number of households/family-units that needed separate homes. A raw population count is not always what it seems.
Getting to the point where the disease is really gone is not an easy state to reach. Polio has been eradicated, yet we have small, latent pockets pop up every now and then. London in 2022, for instance: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-61900915

I'm all for getting rid of useless things, but the long tail for diseases appears to be extremely long and resilient.

I've got a bad feeling by the end of this year the United States is no longer going to be the only nation to use nuclear weapons on a civilian population.

All it would take is a doctor telling Putin he only has a few months left on some kind of illness.
They make money selling the rights to stuff they produce in other parts of the world. Maybe not for this particular show, but in general.

They presumably treat everything on the service exactly the same, because it would cost them money to do otherwise, and also because they probably don't want to pay for the bandwidth for foreign users. I suspect you probably have to have a UK TV license to watch it, too, which means they're charging for it in the UK. It'd actually be surprising if they had a way to treat different content differently, as opposed to the whole service being all or nothing.

They probably also have foreign stuff on there that they've bought only the UK rights for.
But think about that 5 minutes extra commute datacenter workers would need to have! /s
fwiw, med/long term strategies are consideribly more difficult than HFT. Also, depending on the product (options, treasuries, etc.) most firms still have traders to manage strategies. For example, the top Options MM firms (CitSec, SIG, Jane Street, IMC, Optiver...) all have traders. Pure play algos is once again, consideribly harder (for certain products).

I still think theres alpha, but I don't think it would be from off the shelf methods that some random youtube trading guru talks about.
I am not justifying the situation. I don't buy the overly negative prognosis.
Ask HN: Have licenses ever stopped you from combining two FOSS programs?
Not all FOSS licenses are compatible with each other. The best-known example is that the CDDL and GPL are incompatible, which is why the mainline Linux kernel doesn't have ZFS. I'm curious how common this actually is, though. Aside from the ZFS-on-Linux case, has anyone else wanted to combine two FOSS programs but been unable to because of a license incompatibility?

EU biggest mistake is not making "another internet" to nurture their homegrown big techs.
When the barrier was lowered, 99% of stuff in the Web 1.0 space was bullshit (remember <blink> and <marquee> tags?), and Web 2.0 was bullshit also (PHP developers making lots of crappy insecure stuff)... the 94th social network for cats and toasters, where they vacuum all your data and sell ads, or charge you hundreds of dollars for a feature that consists of changing one variable somewhere.

Sometimes it was fraud, other times it was just money-losing economics ("traction") where VCs would prop it up and then hoped to dump the stock on an eager public in an IPO before making a dollar in profit (SoftBank took this to the extreme). Other times it just led to monopolies that sucked up everyone's data, engaged in surveillance capitalism, distracted them at dinner and made everyone have the attention of a goldfish. Oh yeah and made them depressed and insecure, especially teenagers.

I'm not sure that's much better than Web3.
You'll pay a different price for the same cup of branded coffee in the Atlanta airport depending on which concourse you're in due to the airport crossing over the line between counties with different sales tax rates. Other than on a few select items like gasoline, there is no national sales tax (and I'm guessing that the federal tax on gasoline is classified as something other than sales tax), so yes, this makes it impossible to post a tax included price in any mass media type communication. But when advertising on the individual level where the location of the transaction is known, they can determine the taxes and fees ahead of time.
to be fair, looks like we can circumvent the issue by leapfrogging into faster-than-light speeds. I've seen somewhere that real (albeit tiny) warp bubbles were achieved in a lab recently, so its not too far off into SciFi land... probably only a few decades (tm) until its here :D

Thanks for running it! It has been invaluable to keep the FOMO away when I’ve gone through periods of cutting out all social media.
One solution (not an ideal solution) might be where every entity that wants to serve the citizens of a sovereign country have to have a local company that serves the local population, a local subsidiary like in most brick and mortar industries.

They may even require that all compute happen locally. And of course that all content and so on meet local regulations. Sort of like what we see with other telecommunication, be it T-mobile or other. Sure, they operate in many countries, but they have local staff and follow local rules.
Yeah, I'm not sure you've exactly said it, but what you see with most walls, is that you can pay for the content, but they USE that payment info to track you and sell it to make even more!

I'm appreciating the down votes. Perhaps YT or Apple don't sell info (for how long?), but HBO, NYT, Disney, and of course Amazon certainly do. Conde' Nast, and probably and your favorite blog/mag as well. Is it surprising, there's money on the table and an identifiable account!?

That was the original. The "clean" version author objected to it asking for a blanket permission for all sites I believe. The original seems to hardly be updated now.
It'd have to be something like AI both solves climate problems while making it profitable to do so. I'm not talking about greenwashing, but using machine learning to solve hard science problems and tying them to economic benefit. Dear AI overlord, I'm trying to start a new business and this is my idea… Dear valued chat user, your business can be 125% more profitable if you can address this climate problem as these 3 VCs are ready to unload dump trucks of cash into the space.
I think it could, if you could rely on it. Yesterday I was reading an economics paper with a ChatGPT tab open. I was giving it my summary and asking questions about terms and how to interpret them. If what ChatGPT replied with was true, then it was very helpful in getting me to understand the paper and the implications.

I imagine the same would hold with physics. Part of research is reading and understanding other papers. If ChatGPT made you 10x better at that, it would help your research.
I think I’m falling into the trap of looking at my capacity only in terms of each day. Ie if I get a good night’s sleep I erroneously feel like I should be able to sustain my (probably unsustainable) momentum. When I try to relax, I feel like I’m wasting time if I do it for too long. Does anyone have any advice for this?
Wow. Pretty amazing that chatGPT knows how to use Google.

This feels like a dealbreaker for me, and I should be firmly in the target demo for this product (PC VR user, flight sim enjoyer) - putting up Lighthouses on my walls so I can do some basic VR gaming is IMO a pretty tall order.

There's a really good reason inside-out tracking has practically fully displaced stuff that requires you to install new stuff in a room.
They don't, but fire catastrophes are one of the most gruesome ways to die - and worse, a fire can always spread around and endanger even more people. There are reasons why fire codes are among the oldest laws in humanity.
In what way is a fiery train derailment and cows dropping dead all over the region not a good story for clicks and attention? I guess the balloon feels a bit more whimsical but it feels like the more boring story.

In this instance, the simplest explanation really does seem to be financial conflict of interest.
Yeah op yikes to jumping to 'black = bad, white = good' metaphor space. What is wrong with you?
In a distant sense, I find the Culture series of novels to be an inspiring vision of the future. People develop AI and technology to master nature on a planetary scale, and largely live peaceful, happy lives.

In a nearby sense, I am inspired every time I do random household chores, by thinking that maybe AI and robots will be able to do this soon. Folding clothes, picking up toys, putting things away where they go, cooking dinner, putting the dirty dishes into the dishwasher, putting the clean dishes away on the shelves, taking out the trash, driving to the corner store to pick up a fresh baguette.

It really depends on the use case.

The upfront network cost will always be larger in comparison to independent queries, however the benefit will be less total network use after some threshold of searches due to eliminating the overhead of independent searches over the network. The other benefit is vastly improved latency of all searches after the initial page load.

Whether or not this makes sense is entirely subjective, it depends on the DB size, frequency of changes to affected data and the expected user behaviour... i.e is it extremely likely they will be making multiple searches.

I've not tried SQLite in the browser yet, but have used effectively the same solution for an internal tool by downloading all of the metadata needed for any possible queries from an SQL database. This worked very well under a certain size, making lightning fast, low latency local searches in the browser... but did not scale due to the particulars of the DB and the user case... eventually the initial metadata payload was not tolerable as the DB grew and the changes were frequent, requiring a new payload on every load of the page (unlike the authors use case), and so I switched to backend queries, the latency for individual queries is worse, but the total experience is better since the initial load is the same.
And yet despite their powerful GPUs, Mac is still irrelevant in the GPU space due to their locked down nature to a niche API that's Apple exclusive.

Everyone targets Nvidia or AMD GPUs for both gaming and compute like ML.

Mac GPUs are mostly used by YouTubers to accelerate video editing.

Sure but it’s clear what OP is asking. I always interpreted “black” as in mirror to be a double entendre anyway.
I kind of both like and dislike the idea. I suspect this would just become a popularity contest, where the big, prestigious names get all the money and other worthy projects starve. I'd rather the voting be blinded based on project descriptions, and then something like 20-30% of it is lottery based to fight entrenched dogma.
In my experience, it's typically the smaller the company the more loyal they are to good employees.
Big companies with plenty of institutional inertia have zero loyalty and would replace their entire workforce with chatgpt of given the opportunity.

Do you? If not, the SF Marin food bank would love your help! As little as a $20 one time donation would be appreciated. If you have an excess of time, in person volunteering is also deeply appreciated.

I will not comment on the realism of either of these novels, but will say that both present optimistic visions of futures where super intelligent AGIs are commonplace and both have interesting ideas to consider regardless of exactly the extent to which they are grounded in reality.

Employee loyalty is usually the priority that comes last, _just one more big push and then we can breath_ except the breath never happens and now management expects the next project to finish quicker with less people.
Do we know for sure that the last admin did nothing? Last I heard, that was a made-up blame-shifter.
Why would governments subsidise institutional investors rather than simply buying and renting out the housing themselves? (which could be done at cost) I am sympathetic to the idea that individual landlords are better than large profit making businesses though.
Don’t you have to set the dates anyway?
If you search for 1 night you get 140$ price.
For 2 nights, 240$, 120$ per night. Etc…
There is usually A/B testing of total vs. per night.

But the most important thing:
Price on the first page you see is the same that gonna be charged.

Same thing for flight bookings, what you see on the search is what you pay!

What inovative concept by the EU!
I’m about 10 months into a burnout break, and I’m only just starting to feel like I have my feet back under me.

Burnout is very real and very different from the notion of “worn out” described in the piece. I started to realize this more deeply when I noticed that there was just about nothing that I could interest myself in, even the most tantalizing personal project ideas (some might note this sounds like depression, and I agree. I’ve dealt with varying levels of depression for most of my life, but burnout became a multiplying factor).

I think if more folks realized how different they are, they would take burnout more seriously and take more steps to avoid it.

I know I would have.
That's not true at all, automobiles and road surfaces are engineered for their acoustics in addition to noise abatement along roadways. Otherwise we wouldn't require mufflers or design better performing asphalt/cement mixtures and groove patterns that balance friction and noise.

And even with all of that it's not great.

India is kind of moving towards this? Data security is a big discussion in whatever policy discussion is left in the country. I think legislation is in the works to mandate that all data related to indian citizens need to be in India and not leave it's virtual borders.
The corners that are cut are often around automated testing, security, best practices. And it adds up, so if nothing is done right then it’s faster to keep doing it wrong than rearchitect or abstract everything so you can have a clean implementation.

Honestly, I haven’t been working that long (about a decade) but this general attitude from PHBs calling the shots in software makes me count the months until I can retire early and never write code for money again. It’s just soul sucking to fight everyone on this and then fight again when overtime is needed to add more bandaids to the resulting abomination because the date won’t be met.
I love your product, but this reply reads snarky and arrogant.

Automation creating a post-scarcity environment where people focus more on expanding their freedoms and quality of life instead of working more and more (unlikely if the last half-century is anything to go by).

Social media fostering a sense of "global citizenship" making wars based on nationality less likely (or at least harder to drum up support for). Imagine trying to justify the Iraq war to US citizens in 2023. There would be Iraqi Youtubers making videos humanizing their struggle. You might have Iraqi online friends in your Discord servers etc who make you question if the US Military is actually a "force for good". We can see this happening in Ukraine as we speak, granted nobody was really a fan of Russia to begin with, but I think most of us can point to a Ukrainian influencer or someone in our social circle that is directly affected by the invasion.
