I’d worked in technical fabrics for 15 years when c19 came out, and my personal blog allowed a balance between the chaos of the n95 supply chain at work and the flood of inquiries. There were a lot of non-monetary positive things we got done, in addition to the surge in business.

Five years ago I noticed all the things you saw and decided to go back to hotels. With hotel chains it’s a consistent experience. With Airbnb it was gambling.

Bigger Pockets created a lot of portfolio renters on Airbnb and created a cult for others to mimic. I briefly had a rental I was sub-leasing from a landlord and in turn renting it out to traveling nurses. Imagine many people doing this with multiple units to sub lease.
There can of course be other factors going on, as the comparison is between different countries.

Now, the infant death rate in Israel seems to actually lower by almost half of the US (Iḿ seeing 5.4 per 1000 for the US, vs 2.2 for Israel).

Hypothetically, how could taxonomic calculations conceivably tell you that an unknown animal form belongs to a known species?

They can tell you that the form you're looking at is related to certain other known forms. That's it.
Interesting. It would seem driving would be significantly safer for a baby than the driving parent.
I've been having to put together a test suite at $work similar to what the product tries to offer. If there were a sufficiently advanced product to buy, I'd petition for it to be adopted at my org.

> It is random sampling. I feel, 1M or 10M randomly sampled requests should cover all cases.

1. I suggest providing alternate approaches to sampling:
The input itself may have bias towards a single use case. If 70% of the input exercises the same code path, there's no benefit to having a uniform sample. Ideally it would be stratified amongst customers, or perhaps on other dimensions to allow for covering the most surface area.

2. Requests don't happen in a vacuum. They likely have data dependencies on prior requests. I recommend some way of sampling sessions rather than individual requests. Replaying the 3rd request in a series of 6 is likely just going to be exercising failure paths.

3. Behaviors may vary between requests with respect to time. If requests were sampled over a number of days but replayed within a short time period, there are behaviors that could differ from what actually occurs in production.

I didn't see any explanation on how results are determined. I think it's important to surface those types of details on the website. I'm not going to watch the video on it in hopes of learning.

It's very artificial you know. There's this connotation with the word "artificial" that it is not real, but artificial.
This seems like it could be solved with a restraint for the baby. Like one of those baby carriers that parents wear with the baby resting against the parent’s chest. They don’t necessarily need to keep the baby in there for the whole flight but when the seatbelt light comes on the baby should be safely restrained.
Why is my tax money going to pointless shit like this. Why is going on a plane different then a train or bus?
There's a snack here in Fiji that matches what you describe, called Peanut Ruffs:

It sounds like the opposite of the auto-tune and quantize functions in music recording. Loosening it up.
> you do have the right to opt of facial imaging at TSA checkpoints

I’m curious as to whether the author has put any thought into how practical this advice is. My plane takes off in an hour. What does this “right” entail?

1. Not going to jail for refusing to get a biometric scan, or

2. Getting into a long argument with TSA where I point to the specific subsections that say I don’t need to comply with having my picture taken again, lose the argument and don’t go to jail, or

3. Part 2 but I win the argument and don’t go to jail

My point isn’t that rights aren’t important. My point is that it’s silly to expect normal people to be able to articulate the law in the heat of the moment. These things need to be ironed out long before then, because my revealed preference of not wanting to miss my connection is frankly a lot more important than my revealed preference of not having my picture taken.
I wanted to say the same thing - except that the senior can't actually perform 10x because they're too busy trying to train the next gen devs while attempting to deliver stories themselves in the fractions of time available to them.

Not to say that this is a bad thing, but the difference between a junior and senior is often much more than the difference in their salary.

What you refer to is different from the conversation about missing weapons that have not been recovered.
Exactly my first thought too. Seems like a simple enough solution that protects the baby without requiring purchasing a second seat.
Might be interesting to print grip modules for firearms (Sig does the "TXG" series which are tungsten-infused polymer, used for adding mass within the defined shape/volume for competitive shooting/recoil reduction reasons. Due to the design of the firearm, the grip module is just an accessory and not a firearm and thus not regulated, at least under US law. Being able to print custom shapes would be cool.

Maybe get the kids to look into using Magnetorquers to get some spin on and half shield with this product .. and you now have a platform for directional gamma ray detection | mapping.

( Gamma counts coming from "over there" will decrease whenever "over there" is masked by the partial shielding )

There are other apps, but that one springs to mind.
My blog at one point slightly morphed into a music blog, wherein I ripped vinyl to mp3 that was mostly not yet available online (90s hardcore punk). I kept this up for a few years and it was pretty popular. One time a person commented on a post, and we ended up chatting on twitter, then emailing, then visiting, and then I moved to her city and we dated and got married and had a kid. I actually looked up her comment the other day - it’s so funny that something so simple triggered all of this. It’s been 12 years since that comment.
For every new job opportunity your blog or "personal brand" online garners you, there will be 0-? opportunities lost due to a hiring manager or recruiter being put off not even by the content of your online presence, but by the fact you have one at all.

Most middle managers will not hire someone with a fledging YouTube channel or a popular blog or a weaponisable Twitter following unless the role is a public facing PR role (devrel etc).

The thing is, there is no way to know about or count the lost opportunities. Grey man strategy (i.e. not early 2000s "build a personal brand" strategy) is safest for most people.
I didn't make my website for those reasons. I was inspired by Bill Beaty of amasci.com's philosophy of putting everything online[0]. But after a while I got sick of how things looked online changing every time I looked, so (sadly) started making lovely LaTeX PDF books instead, and lately putting everything into Obsidian. I must move some of all that online one day.

The highlights have been John Baez commenting on one page how beautiful the images were, and Jugu Abraham (Indian movie critic) thanking me for linking to pages on his site. Am still considering getting rid of comments though—even though it's handled automatically, they're about 99.99% spam.

One thing I learned is that my pages on the most obscure subjects get the most hits! Two in particular are super-obscure and get hits almost every day. I guess there's no other pages on the web about those topics. That maybe seems obvious, but was surprising. It's hard not to assume a piece of writing has to be on a popular topic for someone to want to read it.

[0] http://amasci.com/faq.html#hits the whole page is a great read, as is the whole site. So much great stuff.
Do you mean because there's no Rails or Django for nodejs?
The narrative you are presenting is also based on common sense though.

We have observations that populations of kids eating peanuts early have lower allergy rate, but it´s not like we isolated 300 babies and experimented on them for 30 years, we just can´t. Short of other stronger evidence we assume it´s true, but if tomorrow we found that there were other causes specific to the US, independent from peanuts themselves, we´d have the same reaction: we didn´t know so we did our best.

I was a teenager in the 90s and also had a personal site. Somehow got onto a link repository site called nerd world and a girl from a few states away (USA) found the page and emailed me. It started a long, remote friendship through the rest of high school and college via letters, AIM, and email. We still keep in contact every now and then.

Ask HN: I was fired and I'm pissed off, how to avoid burning bridges?
So, long story short: I was recently fired from a startup I helped founding. I was the first engineering hire there. Gave my blood and sweat for 3 years. I became a close friend of the founders (or so I thought), we hanged out together. I loved it.

Then came shiny management hires from big tech. Culture suddenly changed. People left. I stayed and hoped for things to get better, but wasn't as motived as before. Nevertheless, I kept my head up, tried to keep that sentiment to me and never demotivate others.

It wasn't sufficient. After a skip-level 1:1, where I was transparent about my feelings, I got a call from my direct manager (one of the founders) and was fired.

I was pissed off, felt betrayed. Like, I understand that you may not want unmotivated people around for long, but I never received any feedback on this. I had only recently started showing it transparently to my managers. They always said that it was ok to be transparent about my feelings, but it actually got me fired. My manager said that, since I was unmotivated, "it was better for both parts" that I leave.

But, to be honest, what stroke me most was that I had no time to make a goodbye post on Slack and that no one else reached me out after that. I was just thrown away. They always said that "my feelings are a priority", "I'm one of the most important assets of the company", but was just simply thrown out without even a knowledge sharing session (since I had a good chunk of undocumented knowledge about the systems).

My only desire right now is to just block everyone on social media and LinkedIn, but I know I should cool down and try not to burn bridges. But how do I do it? No one even reached me out after I was fired and I don't know if writing an e-mail is a good strategy by now. However, I also don't think they were left with a good impression since I couldn't hide from my manager my disappointment in that call... My fear is that the bridges are already burnt.
That sounds like an industry where a few large players have gobbled up everyone else and entrenched themselves, and they're all relatively happy with their market share (i.e. they aren't competing), and are thus happy to help "competitors" because what they want more than anything else is stability, and to keep new entrants from the market that actually might change things.

You know, collusion. Or emergent behavior that's essentially the same (but even that, while not necessarily illegal, is still bad for consumers).
I don't know how many feet it was or how many seconds, because it was the kind of experience that messes with your perception to say the least, but I was on a transatlantic flight where the plane went into freefall and kept dropping long enough that I started to seriously worry that it wasn't going to stop. It was probably not more than a few second, but it was quite an unpleasant experience.
I promise you the owners don't want a site about layoffs, RTO, and stupid CEOs decisions.

Why not bring in many immigrant women and have them bear Japanese children through IVF as surrogates, with eggs and sperm selected randomly from a collection of healthy, successful Japanese donors? And then pay for their upbringing in government-sponsored facilities. Because there is usually more than 1 kid born through IVF, say 1.5, and about 65% of IVFs result in a life birth with usual miscarriage terms being very short, they need less than 1 million women to cover the entire shortfall.
Yeah, but I remember the plugin ignoring that setting.
Such arbitrary decisions are part of our day to day life. This is not new.

When buying tickets, there are tickets for children and senior. When buying food, there is senior discount - in some places it is for age 55, some places for 60, well actually the numbers could be anything from 50-67 (starting age).

We draw such arbitrary boundaries every day. They could be based on statistics, or marketing, but they are part of life.

For airlines, I presume at some age, the weight/space taken starts becoming a factor, so they likely picked 2 year as a boundary in this case.
I think that some people don't like bureaucracy and would rather move than apply for "big enough open source enough project yada-yada".

Machol discusses it in this address he gave at a 1992 sciences conference; it's on page 10.

He says that the calculations they did at the FAA suggested that for each infant saved by requiring a separate ticket, six would have been killed in car crashes.

and what's a mile again?

From your article, (which uses metric),

> One of the great snipes stayed above 8,000 meters (4.97 miles) for more than five hours one day, rising to a maximum altitude of around 8,700 meters (5.41 miles). This is the highest altitude ever recorded for an identified migratory bird.

At 8km high it's easier to believe that they'd see ~660km away (410mi), although I don't know if weather, pollution or some distortions get in the way.
Just speculating... airplane seatbelts don't restrain the torso of the adult, so any strong forward motion could potentially injure or kill the baby restrained in such a manner?
I agree with the other commenter, though maybe with less profanity.

Think of it this way, helping people is good, right? So you should help the people who are trying to help you.

> this is because your attitude could prevent people from helping!

Likewise, the attitude of people who put in minimal effort and expect lots of effort from volunteers causes the volunteers to burn out and makes it less likely that people will help you. Heck, even if they don't directly quit, they'll even end up with other people telling them to stop helping people.
Branch is another term for a stream, and virtually all of the good whiskey distilleries have one they use for their water. Typically the water's pleasant properties come from the geological formations it flows through, in particular limestone. So when you're watering back with branch water, you're using water of quality equivalent or even identical to that which to whiskey was watered back from cask strength with.

Well that would have to be included: a shoulder belt as part of the system. This would keep the parent’s body from pitching forward and harming the baby.

It wouldn’t need to be on every seat. It could be something extra they attach to your seat when you bring your baby on board.
A couple of years ago a friend casually complained about ad breaks on YouTube and I was surprised. I had no idea YouTube had ads in the videos.

Turns out that uBlockOrigin on Firefox or one of my other plugins just blocks that out. I never saw an ad. Still don't.
That's not a profiler that's the task manager. The task manager shows GPU usage scaled to the current clock speed of the GPU. So basically if you're at idle clock speed and you move the window it's going to show a high percentage of GPU usage when doing mundane things until it goes to a different p state. So that GPU usage percentage in task manager isn't actually a fixed 0 to 100%.

Edit: it's actually really hard to get people to understand this concept about the task manager. If you use something like EVGA precision x and you force boost clocks then you will see the GPU usage isn't as high.
For me main reason to prefer Go is its fantastic start time and low memory consumption.

Last time I tried to build a lean Java project, I end up with 300MB heap. With small Go service, it can easily live on 30MB container.
Not that unusual. Just a month earlier, 25 passengers were injured on a flight coming into Hawaii from Phoenix, 6 of them severely enough to require hospitalization. [0]

Because it's almost certainly false. The source for this is Bruce Blair, who while is a credible source on matters of nuclear armament, would not have been privy to this information.

The DoD has refuted the claim made by Dr. Blair also insisting that he was never in a position or authorized to know these codes. Furthermore, the House Armed Services Committee which investigated this matter was unable to find anyone else to corroborate the claim. If Dr. Blair's claims were true, there would certainly be one other officer (retired by now) who would be able to confirm it as part of a Congressional investigation, and yet everyone who was in a position to know this has said the claim is false.
The Palomares Incident is a good story too. All 4 lost bombs were recovered. Three on land had exploded (in a non-nuclear manner) and scattered so much radioactive contamination that the US government had to scrape off 6000 barrels worth of Spanish topsoil and ship it back to the states. The fourth bomb fell in the ocean and was recovered through Bayesian analysis with the assistance of an observant Spanish fisherman.

In the US alone it is > 1 million Covid deaths by now.

When anybody says millions of deaths is "mostly harmless", while the vaccine that helps fight those deaths is "extremely dangerous", I believe they have a political agenda.

Whereas healthcare professionals who give us the statistics and vaccines do not have a political agenda. They have a healthcare agenda.

So it's really not like "both sides are bad". Whoever pushes unproven facts is working for the bad side.

The last time I ran SETI@home (and Folding@home), I had a fixed desktop machine that I always left on, and I think it was old enough that the fan speeds weren't variable, so it was just constant background white noise.

In that context, running those apps in the background all day and all night was fine, and if they ever noticeably interfered with performance while I was using the machine, pausing them for a bit was easy to do.

I haven't had a desktop computer in at least 14 years. When I'm not using my laptop, I close it and it goes to sleep. Running CPU-intensive apps on my laptop spools the fans up to their loudest, and makes the bottom of its chassis uncomfortably warm. The CPU cores will sometimes hit thermal throttling too. I just don't want to deal with that sort of thing all day.

Then again, I do have a couple Raspberry Pis, an old Mac Mini (running Linux), and a CM4-based NAS in various places in the house running 24/7. I could probably run an @gome-type app on one or more of those. But for whatever reason, doing so just never really occurred to me.
