Constant elevated pressure created by ANC working to destructively interfere with an external sound waves is not perceived as sound.

But it is extra pressure on the eardrum.
Is it?

I can fully understand mocking people who changed their mind after being totally sure, utterly convinced, proselytizing and annoying. If they were so sure, how could they change their minds, except by being dishonest about their surety or by being easily mislead? All good reasons for mocking them.

People who weren't so sure and were honest about it are of course different. Those deserve respect for their objectivity and honesty. But those are unfortunately rare specimens.
Netscape Navigator -> Sea Monkey -> Opera. It was a thing. Set aside mostly to improve performance of the browser. When Firefox was first released it seemed... lacking. But it _was_ fast. That was still the Age of IE, of course. For me, using a separate mail client turned out to be more efficient. Thunderbird worked, mostly, for a long time. I did a full immersion test of Vivaldi a while ago. Wasn't impressed enough to ditch my current setup (Firefox + Mailspring, the latter mainly for the unified inbox). It's good that people are out there trying different approaches. Monocultures are dangerous impediments to progress.
No. I still don’t know what is meant by a proper cloud. I don’t have a starlink, but I’ve had plenty of other satellite systems in the past. None of these have had issues with clouds. Severe storms with heavy rain and lightning would affect it at times. With the older large dishes, heavy winds could cause it to move enough to degrade image. Clouds by themselves? No, not an issue.

So, yet again I have to ask because all of the useless answers received to this point have not been an actual answer to what a proper cloud is that could interfere with a signal

They also like to tell you why you're wrong for wanting wireguard (so it's for your own good they don't support it) instead of letting you make up your own mind. No thanks.

I feel this is an extremism vs moderate thing. Extremists are offended when their extremist politicians were "faking it" by only taking on popular positions to win elections, but moderates are the opposite: They are proud when a politician tells them they listen to the constituents and faithfully represent them even if the politicians personal feelings would be different than the peoples.

qlmanage is super useful for converting SVG to PNG easily, too! I use it like this:

Thanks. I assumed there was something in place, and that the post above mine was a bit off the wall.
Most men have the capability to build a house themselves and with help of friends. What is needed is the release of land, plain and simple. The landed gentry have enormous amounts of real estate and they want high prices to release any part - this is their retirement plan for them, their children, and children's children.

Let workers buy land cheap and you will have a lower base level of housing cost, bringing the cost for all other housing down. Why would I want the government to rob me to build a house, when I could have built it myself if I hadn't been robbed?
> isEven microservice

If you have one then you're doing it wrong and don't get the most basic thing about microservice architecture. Microservices must be business-aligned and as independent as possible.

> They don't force you to install an app for entering a location, an app for making a payment, an app for looking up pricing

They probably do. I bet their Android app has independent dynamic feature modules that are loaded on demand.
The mocking is usually because they don't like the person, and would attack whatever they do. Not because they don't like the idea or the fact that they changed their mind.

Unfortunately a lot of public debate today is built around this.
If you use any language with garbage collection then you won't have memory safety problems (barring unusual corner cases). That is an actual guarantee of memory safety.

I think if you believed something really really stupid, or if you dishonestly said you believed something because it was in your interest, say for example crypto, then pretend to change your mind, you deserve to be ridiculed.

Why is this on HN though? "People change their minds" is this deep or interesting to anyone here? This is really thin.
It probably doesn't run at 100W, although I'd be quite curious to know whether someone actually measured the consumption, since I have the HP version of this.

The reason why I don't expect it to draw as much is because I have an 8-core xeon with 2x10k RPM + 4*7200 RPM drives, a dedicated raid card, integrated BMC, and it reports ~100W power draw when booting up. When sitting around doing nothing but with the drives spinning, it reports a draw of about 80W.

edit: The BMC alone draws 11W, judging by the reported power consumption when the server is off, but plugged in.
People get mocked when they profess a strong moral/ideological position and assert it is the only valid belief, and then change their minds. Especially if the change seems opportunistic, and even more so if they now claim their new belief is the only possible valid belief.

Someone who’s open about all beliefs being provisional, respectful of opposing viewpoints, and transparent about being willing to change with no evidence is not going to be mocked.

Outside of politics and other performatively dishonest arenas, of course. In those areas mockery is a weapon and it doesn’t matter how fair the criticism is.
It looks like it could be interesting but 'Public Doubts Over Musk's Combat Readiness' is exactly what I wish I never had to read ever again.

Car sales in the US is not a useable example for any microeconomics discussion, let alone (notionally) generalized principles. Car dealers are one of a handful of infustries with an explicit exemption from federal antitrust law prohibiting price fixing and collusive monopolies. So, they made those, decades ago. And abuse them constantly.

The way you can tell this is true is price any car or truck in the US for sale from dealer X. Then attempt to shop around for a better price from set of dealers Y-Z. You will find that within a convenient-to-you radius the same regional dealership operating co owns all of the dealerships for your preferred make/model.

Then if you expand your search radius you will find that opco is owed by a larger holdco, which "oversees" supply and demand so your price. Not a free market. And not the manufacturers' doing, or their input suppliers, or inflation. It's a gov policy choice as abused by nearly a century of lobbying which some might call bribes.

As I recall the other US industries with explicit antitrust exemptions are Major League Baseball... and domestic shipbuilding vis-a-vis domestic maritime commerce. This is famously why the Love Boat *had* to go to Mexico, because it was (presumably) foreign flagged and couldn't move between US poets without calling at a foreign port.

So much of Politics is theatre aimed at engaging a base large enough to get you elected.

The constant threats to society that engage many, such as Gay Marriage (remember all the rushed state bans?), Sharia Law (remember that being outlawed?), Critical Race Theory (remember that?), or now Youth Transexual Treatment, are designed to engage a demographic to vote for a politician, they are not true societal threats, and they are also discarded soon as they stop working well and another potential engagement strategy arises.

Also on many other non-hot topics a lot of politicians have opinions that align with their major donors. So again, they are slow to change their opinions if the money continues to flow.

So politics are not good studies of how people change their minds.
This statement is too general and I do not see that much mocking of people who genuinely change their minds.

People are mostly mocked if they:

1) Change their minds all the time in an opportunistic manner (politicians, managers).

2) Change their minds whenever it benefits them financially.

3) Change their minds after they have been (almost) obviously wrong in the first place. We have seen this a lot after 2020.

It is not a single language. c, C++, Fortran are the most commonly used. The communication happens using one of many versions of the message passing interface [0] (MPI). MPI essentially spawns child processes and a communication ring between nodes using whichever interconnect is available (usually infoniband).

> Language determines how one thinks.

This is called the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis (though it's mostly Whorf's), and it's been largely debunked. Language may have some limited influence of perception of colours and innate direction, but probably not much more than that.

> we solved most of the fundamentals in that time period

Arguably this is just one interpretation, the other being "we haven't made fundamental progress since that time period".

In my limited understanding as a mathematician, there's definitely room for progress: settling the measurement problem, or formulating a theory of quantum gravity, say.
It shouldn't just be removed, they should be fined into oblivion.
Playing devil’s advocate, since I think the article didn’t really address this very well. I would assume that SUVs can have two issues with regard to pedestrian deaths.

- Worse outcomes when pedestrians are struck. A lower car might “merely” break legs, while an SUV with a higher belt line might strike a head or vital organ and be more lethal. SUVs tend to weigh more as well, which only hurts pedestrians.

- Worse visibility due to higher higher ground clearance, longer hoods, and of course modern rollover protection. I wouldn’t be shocked if you could do a study on pedestrian visibility using a passenger car from 2000, and an SUV from 2023, and found that the SUV had significantly worse visibility of pedestrians.
Conviction is important because you’re electing people with a mandate. If that someone runs with View X, gets elected, then switches to View Y, they have (potentially) invalidated the mandate that got them elected in the first place.

Yes. PG is using a straw man as he often does. People are derided when they change their mind constantly, because it's (justly) considered hypocritical.

But it's rare to mock someone for having a true intellectual journey: starting in one place, working hard, gathering more evidence, and arriving in another.
It’s just another manifestation of tribalism. Having lost ideological concord, people have to minimize that betrayal’s impact, in their own minds if in none other’s, suffering a fight or flight sensation instead of introspection.
notify them that if they don't pay you in full, that in 24 hours you will be forced to use Dunn & Brad Street to do debt collection..

if you can afford it, I'd just issue the invoice for collection with Dunn & Brad Street just for good riddance as I hate companies who screw people over payment..

Alexander Shulgin had it right I think:

>The most compelling insight of that day was that this awesome recall had been brought about by a fraction of a gram of a white solid, but that in no way whatsoever could it be argued that these memories had been contained within the white solid. Everything I had recognized came from the depths of my memory and my psyche. I understood that our entire universe is contained in the mind and the spirit. We may choose not to find access to it, we may even deny its existence, but it is indeed there inside us, and there are chemicals that can catalyze its availability.
I think in a VC pitch you need to have a point of view so they know what they are financing - otherwise you have nothing -- but once you get the money, you should be free to do pivots, within reason, to ensure success. You should always have a thesis (or more than one) and test it and adjust your business accordingly.
Some people seem to demand ideological purity and dogmatism regardless of what the facts say. In fact, some people seem to oppose facts just on principle. It's not a great time for truth and critical thinking.

I don't think it's a problem if people stick to their beliefs in the absense of evidence to the contrary, as long as you do recognise evidence when it's there.

I generally appreciate it when people change their mind, as long as they change it for the better, or at least base it on evidence or rational arguments. I've got tons of respect for Linus Thorvalds because he realised his attitude was a problem, and he changed it, to name just one example.

I also try to change my own mind when necessary. Maybe I'm slower than I should be. For example, I've always opposed nuclear energy. It was dangerous, Chernobyl and all that, nuclear waste, nuclear proliferation. I completely agrees with the environmentalist movement that nuclear energy was a bad idea. And now I think that resistance was a mistake. It caused us to stick with fossil energy for far too long. It's weird to say that the environmentalists underestimated global warming, but they did. We did.
It happens depressingly often on projects:

“the team has analyzed new, additional data which has yielded updated insights, so we are adjusting our designs and approaches accordingly”

Only to be savaged by project managers (and all kinds of other management types). It’s demoralizing for the team and plain stupid, and has me rethinking my life and career choices.

I experienced this myself. I overwrote then deleted all of my Reddit comments during the blackout using PowerDeleteSuite. A week later they were all back. Some people have speculated that because of the large outage Reddit had during the blackout they may have performed a data restore.

I've since run PowerDeleteSuite again and most of my comments have remained deleted. A couple from several years ago have just popped back into existence in the last few days though.
People reported having their overwritten comments restored.
I found this interesting enough to look into it a little more:

> At 30,000 ft. a sharp crack rang through the ship, shaking it violently. The water pressure outside wasmore than 6 tons per sqare inch., and even a slight fracture in the hull would have meant certain death.

It's that it's annoying to have to consider changing your mind because they changed theirs. And, it challenges your sense of their authority. Were they wrong in the first place? Should I not trust them? Who should I trust instead? Influential people are valuable for their "insight" and for their "stability" -- both.
Fig 2 of [1] shows high variance of happiness while income variation has only a small effect. There is roughly a 5 % (percent it is?) happiness delta for an income delta of about $ 500.000. However, the happiness delta between the different happiness levels is about 25 %.

Would “Income and emotional well-being: It doesn’t really matter” be a better title for the study? Or do I miss something?

That was my first thought when they mentioned how unique it was. But their claim of uniqueness is far from unique in the industry. Having grown up with computets in the '80s I have seen technologies come, the go, then come back again. Often it is because the technology of the time was not quite ready. In this case, integrated MUAs were dropped in the late '90s (if I recall correctly) because of a push for leaner and less cluttered software. The former was certainly a product of web browsers being considered as resource heavy for the time.
