This is an oversimplified assessment of these crashes. You can overload the front just by pushing on the bars too hard. You can unload the rear and high side by letting off the throttle. You can do either or both by shifting your weight while holding maintenance throttle (no throttle or bar input.)

Tires in general, but especially motorcycle tires pushed to the limit of traction behave differently depending on how they are loaded, it’s a very non-linear system. If you suddenly put 85 units of force into the tire (ignoring what these units are, doesn’t matter for this discussion) you can overload the tire and break traction. If you load the tire progressively, you may be able to put 105,106 units of force in and have the tire hold. You may be able to push the tire to 107 and get a little drift but maintain traction.

Different parts of the tire heat and cool differently, you may have been through 4 rights and 1 left, and the second left can only handle 95% of the force the last right can take. A cold tire can just slide out with no warning, no feel. Even the best riders in the world get nailed by cold tires on a regular basis.

The other component of these crashes in the video is stiff suspension and poor body position. These videos are almost exclusively knobs that bought more bike than they know how to ride. If you want to see what a bike can do, check out motard riding, they aren’t using magical tires… they have squishy suspension and they push the bike down lower than their body and use their legs as part of the suspension. You do that and you can drift a motorcycle at angles that would be impossible on a street bike. Same tires. Nothing magic.

Every crash on that site could have been recovered with better body positioning and some pre-planning. If you’d like to learn how, come join me at AFM racing and Pacific Track Time. I’ll happily run a couple laps with anyone from hacker news. I’m #413. See you out there
the first part made some sense, but the second part with the prop65 warning is pretty silly. it's everywhere, and kind of useless for the most part, but i've seen it on buildings, in parking garages at disney, on clothing, on equipment i've purchased. it's just a thing (tm).

and i'm moving to MV at the end of the month and am super excited about the walkability, green space, beautiful area, weather, and proximity to work.

sure, it's kind-of boring suburb, it isn't europe, but i thought it was quite nice.

Chat GPT is impressive in my opinion, but I am still far more amazed by solid diffusion and what people do with it.

In practice Chat GPT is mostly used to reformulate some texts or generate spam from my experience. Perhaps some companies use it for service and that is slightly dystopian. I tend to get angry when I have to chat with a bot, even if this one would be far more eloquente.

It also can tell you convincing facts that might be completely wrong.

I don't know how many people have this practice, but Reddit also has become a good "answers" and "research" site to help find people what they want through Google Search. For example: If I search with "Alexa vs Google Home reddit", I am likely to find a lot of useful information from mostly real humans and their feedback openly available on the very site called Reddit. Omitting that "reddit" part in the query will lead me to the other news sites and blogs run by journalists and spammy media companies contain a lot of bullshit that I chose to only rely on Reddit for my quest for information.

I wonder why Reddit would want to charge consumers of its API, without providing any premium services like let's say, Twilio etc. Reddit must focus on monetizing its content and more strategization that will bring in more ad-revenue or user-generated monetary value rather than going after 3rd party API consumers that ended up doing a much better job of building a simple front end app for their content.
So what about Russia blowing up Nordstream?
The value for users is that Reddit exists. I hate ads as much as the next person, but you can’t expect a great website that’s unprofitable to be around forever. Eventually it’s going to shut down or change.

Reddit has one of the best awards and paid tier plans in the world for a discussion board, yet they still couldn’t break even with it.

You might love things that are free, but don’t expect them to last forever then. Nothing is free.
Companies with big moats (OS) gets bigger. You could increase the dark patterns and Apple would earn way more because there aren't many alternatives.

As others already said, taking a company from close to bankruptcy to one of the most profitable companies in the world, now THAT is impressive.

If Cook succeeds to make a completely new moat with visionOS then that is quite impressive too but he is going to use the moats already in place so it’s still less impressive than Jobs.
Well, I find that to be true.
It is a highly populated region, without the empty distances found in America.

Thanks to the joint effort from our team and community, we are excited to announce the release of our open-sourced time-series database, GreptimeDB v0.3. We've shifted our focus towards distributed capabilities, offering qualities that the standalone version does not possess, such as scalability, high availability, and fault tolerance. This post provides an overview of our accomplishments since the release of v0.2 and what we intend to do next.

The guardian having a bet each way, by platforming Atkinson to say it and editorialising to refute It.

I think that's a bit sad. At best he is a second order effect on the economic realities. I love his comedy work but am I really meant to take his "I was an engineer 40 years ago" seriously, when ostensibly his lines of reasoning are this shallow? An engineer should do better homework. Steelyard the proposition. Check sources. Do the maths. Like, the maths on second hand car markets, and on repurposed EV batteries, and recycling. He appears not to understand either.

It's like he didn't actually understand what he studied, if he studied engineering.

Are EV gods gift to mankind? No. Is his line of reasoning tenable? No, it's got too many half truths and opinions masquerading as facts.

He owns many many ICE cars and if he finds his EV sterile and is concerned about their viability then maybe he needs to do some sums on cost/benefit, and consider if his personal experience really is generally applicable.

Guardian published this on his original opinion piece. He's clearly been told of considered factual issues.

This article was amended on 5 June 2023 to describe lithium-ion batteries as lasting “upwards of 10 years”, rather than “about 10 years”; and to clarify that the figures released by Volvo claimed that greenhouse gas emissions during production of an electric car are “nearly 70% higher”, not “70% higher”. It was further amended on 7 June 2023 to remove an incorrect reference to the production of lithium-ion batteries needing “many rare earth metals”; to clarify that a reference to “trucks” should instead have been to “heavy trucks for long distance haulage”; and to more accurately refer to the use of such batteries in these trucks as being a “concern”, due to weight issues, rather than a “non-starter”.
But you literally don't have to do any such thing though.

A simple make file and maybe a load balancer can easily let you launch large web applications used by millions of users.

I do not understand where people are getting stuck here that they need all of this complexity.

How many users do these apps have?
Thanks for the revelation of the mystery
I don't think it's that unusual. I generally like my colleagues, and given that the work I do is highly collaborative I have a strong preference to reducing all barriers to communication. I don't know anyone that claims the quality of communication they have remotely is at the level of in-person.
The reason you don't see wildfires is because its like 1000% times wetter east of the Mississippi.
Is this really that much? Reddit is a massively popular global service, after all.
Yeah, stc seems to be just using the TypeScript test suite as a proxy for completeness. Pretty far along, but unclear when it will actually be usable.

I do the same, but its important to note that subreddits focusing on brand agnostic gadget niches (like electric toothbrushes) are riddled with bot accounts shoveling ads that look like human feedback, to the point of drowning the few actual humans out. The less popular gadget, the less bots there are.

This guy called it boring when justifying its use for discourse back in 2013.

> Ruby isn't cool any more. Yeah, you heard me. It's not cool to write Ruby code any more. All the cool people moved on to slinging Scala and Node.js years ago. Our project isn't cool, it's just a bunch of boring old Ruby code.
The state of the art for reasonably priced CO2 monitors seems to be that they hard code in the "ambient" Co2 level and instructions tell you to let it sit outside every once in a while. The the sensor adjusts can adjust it's baseline accordingly , assuming that the lowest CO2 level it's seen in the last week or so is equivalent to the "ambient" outside level. Ofc this is susceptible to issues and can require even more adjustments since CO2 levels go up every year. A sensor from 10 years ago might read 5% lower than a modern one because it's using an out of date baseline CO2.
I hate the time it takes to get ready. I hate the time commuting there and back. I hate not being in my own home. I hate having to pack a lunch. I hate not seeing my family as frequently.

And, leaping into action, carrying the banner of innovation, they're declaring their bold vision of the future: getting sneezed on 20 times a day while attending the exact same meetings as before.

Plus, many people get an extra bonus in this future: the addition of 1-3 hours of commute time per day. (Thanks to terrible traffic in every single part of the Bay Area, this is true for many more people than you might imagine.) Time entirely wasted, that neither their family nor their business will benefit from.

The saddest part of this stupidity is that all teams still have to collaborate globally anyway. So everyone's still going to spend time dialing into meetings, fumbling with microphones, and running into A/V issues — except now it'll be compounded by the fact that there'll never be a meeting room available, and all the equipment will be covered in a fine layer of snot from everyone sneezing on everything.

The fundamental issue with the "RTO or not" question is not the debates about the science of productivity. It's simply the fact that any business choosing to spend time on this is already displaying a failure of judgment and lack of focus.

Entire markets are getting overturned by the arrival of AI, and these people are navel-gazing about desk occupancy rates.

Show HN: Bucket – From feature launch to customer satisfaction, consistently
Hi HN!

We have put A LOT of effort and soul into crafting this product. It’s something we’ve wanted to have ourselves for so long. We hope you like it!

Many tech companies end up as feature factories. Bucket is here to help product teams consistently evaluate features, so they can double down on the features that matter - and cut their losses on the ones that never hit home.

We do this based on engagement data and on qualitative feedback. We use the STARS framework, starsframework.org, to combine this data into a consistent feature satisfaction score.

We then report the feature satisfaction and live customer feedback to you and your team on Slack until you make a decision: Looks good or needs another iteration.

Engineers, PMs and designers: We’d love to hear your feedback!
Possibly another group in the future, people trying to evade government control from a CBDC.
Yes, I have interacted with plenty of religious person,s this is where my personal stance and comment above are rooted. Yes, I know these people are well integrated into society. But this doesn't change my analysis. I consider religious nuts at least untrustworthy and in some cases outright dangerous to others. If someone spends his whole life in such an elaborate hallucination, nobody knows what they are capable of if an extraordinary situation happens to them. BTW, I had the pleasure of being sent to a catholic school for eight years. There, I learnt that church-goers and their minions are not to be trusted. BTW, I appreciate you calling me an idiot. Nothing else expected, that is why I keep away from your sorts.

How do we fix social media?

Let's start with the huge societal problems:

- optimizing for addiction

- fighting for attention

People need social validation for their personalities. Social media drives people into perfectionism - yet never being enough. You need to modify your entire self image to fit somekind of hazy image of perfect whatever. You are fighting for attention, you need to do ever more crazy and better shit to get more attention.

Other huge societal problems:

- sensorship, misinformation, death of journalism and therefore truth and therefore democracy

- centralized greedy growth-seeking monopolist culture kills innovation, creates dystopia

Is a well functioning distributed system a possibility? Your own device, or your goverments, or some global 3rd party, you choose, as a host? Let's not give the control of the internet to another monopoly with hardware like amazon, or monopoly with the traffic like cloudfare or whatever. Let's avoid these giant tech monopolies.
The article appears to have been autotranslated or at the very least written by a french person who doesn't have a very solid grasp on english (the very french use of the future tense jumps out)

Bear in mind all that follows is context from the same article, and La Quadrature Du Net is very opinionated. I have done no fact checks on this.

Several people have been arrested and will be on trial in december for the nebulous charge of "being a group of people with the intention of committing criminal terrorism", a charge that is normally reserved for when you find a bunch of terrorists in an appartment and you don't want to go about proving that every single one of them is a terrorist. The reason given by the police is that they are apparently engaging in very secretive behavior, such as encrypting their android phones (default since android 8 iirc), using e2e ecrypted messaging apps, using TOR and Tails, and teaching others how to do all of that. Notice that the police has failed to actually give a reason on what terrorism they're planning on doing, citing their use of Signal as the reason they're unable to find what it is.

This disregards the fact that these people also use unencrypted SMS as does most of western europe, and that 5 out of 6 of them have given them access to the phones used to access signal, which means they can read the messages (In France, you do not have the right to not give the police your phone password. Failure to do so when asked (read: whenever you're arrested for any reason including being at a protest - Fun!) Usually results in more charges being tacked on, which are thrown out a fair chunk of the time).

Ultimately it seems from this article that the police saw these people engaging in behavior that looked suspicious because criminals use encryption (disregard that a lot of people use encryption) and were overzealous in arresting them, propmting them to produce any reason for doing so and turning this police error into a landmark case for the right to use encryption. We shall see in december (more likely far later due to appeals, this isn't going to be a fast trial) whether or not math is outlawed de jure or not.
With Javascript off the page is blank.
The article author is non-technical. I found it interesting that things are apparently now broken enough that non-technical audiences are starting to get upset. Their complaint is really twofold: (a) search used to work but now doesn't, and (b) there is now too much extraneous bullshit on the pages that they get directed to.

Both of these complaints could be fixed by a better internet search engine. Articles like this feel like a signal that conditions for a change in search dominance are finally materialising.
The thing is, a lot of the barriers would be pretty easy to solve - especially, move from cgit and mailing lists to GitLab - hell even a self-hosted Community Edition instance would be enough. Having merge requests with detailed annotation threads instead of patch series on mailing lists is just so much a better experience for everyone, but it seems like many of the core contributors have so grown into their paths they literally cannot see the sunlight at the horizon any more.
The way it gets fixed across organizations is government regulation
I think there is a general acceptance in the leadership of most established companies that fully remote isn't ideal. Obviously there will be companies that don't want to spend the money for an office space and there will be employees who seek fully remote, but I don't think that will be the only game in town by any means.

Personally I wouldn't consider a fully remote job.

You could've just gone for a morning and evening cycle. When I started working from home I went for a walk before and after, it initially helped me maintain the mental work/life balance.
For me it is less about distance from home/commute, but isolation/distractions.

It is easy to get distracted and unless I have an office where I can __close a door__, I want to work from home (I live alone). I'd prefer the office. I don't need isolation all the time. But when I do, it is critical or I'm not getting any work done. It is already difficult enough with Slack and everything pinging me all the time, despite trying to minimize notifications I can receive (I'm religious about this). People @channel instead of @here, so even muted channels ping me. Every app has poor notifications that are "get a billion pings", "in theory this work, in practice you get the same", and "no notifications." (seriously, how is this not solved?) I can't do the latter or my boss gets mad, and the other two just ping me all day. It's false positive overload.

At least in the office I can turn off all my notifications, turn my computer on focus mode, turn my music up, and rely on the fact that if someone really needs me, they'll __knock on my door__ (or have someone do it for them). But many places have open floor plans or cubicles, and these are worse than slack. Don't get me wrong, I love the collaboration and I think being localized does help people work as a team. Whiteboard collaborations are an essential tool when working as a team. But at the same time, there are times where I need to just be left alone to get my work done. The door lets me clearly visually communicate this to my coworkers. So give me an office with a door (don't cheat with a glass room) or send me home. You're paying me to work, right?

Give me a door.

You may want to check out the healthy gamer youtube channel. He’s a psychiatrist who specializes in burnout. Seems to know his stuff best as I can tell.

One thing that's cool is that Airgradient's designs are super modular. I am on a crusade against micro-USB, so when I made an Airgradient Basic board I just used an ESP board with USB-C instead. If you can get a board with PoE with a similar form factor you might be able to just plop it on. Otherwise you can tweak the PCB and STLs to make it work.
The intro section is a great refresher on what exactly happened 10 years ago and what it meant at the time, which is easily lost in the tsunami of bloviation which has followed.

But, as someone who's never ventured onto that platform before, the venue is kind of shocking: if almost all the things I try and avoid in youtube recommends ambushed me en masse, it would look like a mild version of the Rumble front page. Yuck!
You also run into the same issues with the images displayed via an LED screen.

There is no such thing as non distorted colors because even sunlight is also reflecting off objects in the environment. We are just used to seeing a decent approximation of what stuff probably looks like in full sunlight. It might be an old hack but changing a filaments temperature is only approximating what happens at different times of the day as the sun’s actual temperature and thus black body spectrum is constant what’s actually changing is the amount of atmosphere involved.

The truth is everyone doesn’t make the same corrections, individuals are simply fairly consistently with their approximation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_dress
