To be fair, Fahrenheit isn't any part of SI units and it's bizarre that the U.S. continues to use it.
Aside: all these verge articles are getting tedious. Besides that there's already HN post yesterday that got into this I think (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36557378) these Verge articles collecting news from a tweet and spreading it into a 2 page article of "news" that then gets posted here like 12 hours after is lame. We don't need a whole article based on one breaking news thing that's there's not much more story to other than the blip that's occurring at the time. I think Verge's new plan/model of incorporating active news stories from whatever they see on social isn't really a value-add at this point. Just borderline clickbait "filler".
Texas is significantly hotter than Spain, this is not a reasonable analogy.[^1][^2]

If Texas becomes too hot for human life, that means you can effectively only survive with air conditioning. Heat also stresses the electrical grid and makes it more difficult to operate power plants which require cooling, i.e., water. The risk of power failure increases exponentially, and those heat waves will translate into death waves. And if Texas becomes too hot for human life, it will also become too hot for most wild life, which usually does not have access to AC. And it will stress the agriculture even further, which will thin out many rural populations. Hard to say what way Texas is heading.

This practice is particularly horrendous in the food industry(fast food, cereals, etc...). Kids are the prime target for companies that have no morals, because if you can get the kid to nag their parents, its a great strategy. Companies are also banking that those same kids grow up to be lifelong consumers, and then pass that loyalty down to their own children.

Its pretty messed up.

The relationships you have as a young person are based on attraction, shared interest, love, etc. A few of these stay the course but a lot of relationships are transactional in one form or another.
They are disruptive. Basically they draw too much attention and it impacts student learning. Or at least that's the argument. I'm not sure why students were ever allowed to use iPhones during school for anything that wasn't educational, but that's probably because I'm old.
Whenever I've seen it on timestamped filenames I've also needed sub-second precision.

If that's a performance concern, a (potentially zero-padded, but realistically you don't even needed that) Unix timestamp works just as well.
Both current Firefox for Android and Safari 17 (Beta) have a bug where display-mode: standalone doesn’t return true when running standalone, that’s probably what’s broken.
Hypothetical: now that the web technologies are so much more powerful than they were 10 years ago, wouldn’t we all be much better off if most things ceased to be “Apps” anyway and became websites?

The interesting thing I see is that most companies that ship a Mac app (that isn’t a game) now ship a web app in a thin Electron wrapper. And even though at least on iOS things seem slightly less HTML-ish, nobody uses any standard controls/UI anymore anyway, because everything must be branded and distinctive. I would kind of love to have a few competing OSs which were each supportable by essentially a checkbox in the cross-platform mobile app tooling people already seem to be using.
It’s equally true that the number of miserable people in the world is greater, too (lower percentage of a bigger number, but it’s not evenly distributed. If you’re a Bangladeshi farmer getting wiped out multiple years running due to climate change-amplified flooding, you probably aren’t comforted by the fact that even poor Americans can watch Tik Tok.

Yes of course. But that is not remotely close to what we’re discussing here.
I'm always so curious what subreddits all the people on here who seem to feel like they're engaged in some war against the man are getting banned from. I was mostly using reddit for talking about like... coffee and cocktails and architecture and a couple video games. There weren't pages of deleted comments or ongoing flamewars, it was mostly people just chatting about their common hobbies.

I'm not unaware that there are other subreddits with more controversial stuff, but this sort of comment just feels like people claiming that everyone else is a sheep if they haven't been kicked out of a grocery store or a public park. I'm really curious what percentage of reddit's MAUs are folks who are experiencing which sort of subreddits mostly.
Org mode is like outlining mixed with long form writing. You can write a novel, either by writing it sequentially or fleshing out an outline of chapters. You can make TODO lists and other systems in it. At its base, it's like Workflowy+MSWord.

You can add things like tables, but they are limited like a Word Processor and less like Excel.

You can include blocks of functioning source code like a Jupyter notebook.

You can export all of it to formatted HTML or PDF or whatever you like.

You can write Lisp programs to interact with the structure and collection of your documents. This lets you build entire applications and workflows. One such application will traverse all of your documents, construct a prioritized agenda and schedule any TODO items that it finds.

Vanilla (unmodified) Emacs has an ugly org-mode that looks less inviting and less powerful than Notepad. Do not be fooled by this. A few add-on packages turn it into something powerful and beautiful.
He's reporting other people's statistical analysis of life expectancy; should they get out of DC more, too?
If a triangle is 1/2 a rectangle, a cone is 1/3 a, cylinder, is there some kind of n-d hyperpyramid that is 1/n of its bounding hypercube? As in, does the 1/3 have to do with the dimensionality?
Twitter reported in their financial statements that less than 5% of their monetizable daily active users were spam or fake accounts. They did disclose some errors in methodology in 2022, but not enough to make a substantial difference to that estimate. They shared their methodology for estimating with Musk’s acquisition team and with the SEC.

One can claim that Twitter was lying about this number. But if he could prove they were lying, Musk would have gotten out of the deal.
Not sure how many users see it that way. I've always been annoyed with first-mover mods having perpetual control over subreddits (it's especially bad for e.g. some reddits named after countries, which are controlled either by anglocized liberals out of touch with the general public, or worse, sexpats).

But it makes me dislike Steve Huffman all the more when he only brings up the issue of out of control mods when they're doing a protest over a legitimate grievance.
It's clearly just a typo since they got it right just above.
Roughly 30% higher when you account for benefits and taxes. This is a significant number for SMBs but insignificant for for a hyper scale tech company.
I have multiple controversial views that would get me banned from places and you don't see me going around complaining about being silenced.
> It’s not about Europe

So it’s completely irrelevant to the question which isn’t “how could difference in infant mortality calculations abstractly impact comparisos?” but “what specific countries in Europe have a relevant difference in infant mortality calculations?”?
Velocity is a number used in software planning divination. Positive velocity is seen as a beneficial sign, bestowing good fortune on a project. Flat or declining velocity is an ill portent, prophesying schedule delays. The measure is used by management similarly to how craps players plan their bets on the statistics of previous dice rolls.
Some areas most likely will. Parts of India for example. That’s IMO the biggest threat of climate change: hundreds of millions of refugees will cause wars.
At least, unlike religion or football teams, I’m yet to learn about people killing each other over Mario being better than Sonic (are those made by different companies? I don’t know … just replace with another character if they are not).

I say let people obsess over whatever they want as long as they don’t hurt other people, because you know what I find way scarier than a 30yo obsessed with Princess Peach? A government that gets to decide when I’m obsessed with something to the point that I need to be cured or re-educated.
You're making the mistake of assuming that 100% of the unpaid work performed by a few niche subreddits converts to equivalent wages on the free labour market.

Is anyone going to pay first-world wages for someone to moderate a subreddit? It doesn't seem like anyone is willing to do so, because the mods do it for free. Nobody is willing to pay for this service. Social media companies that do pay for moderators tend to pay them not well at all. It's not a great job. It burns people out. It is in fact entry-level no-experience-needed grunt work.

Your calculations are vastly over-inflated.
Didn't one of the most recent versions of Explorer integrate something like this natively? I remember thinking it's neat, but it's hard to reach critical mass, and without reaching it, it's not very useful.
Is there an SXML library for CL? I wanted to build something like racket’s pollen in CL but couldn’t find an alternative for xexprs.
That's no excuse to get a unit conversion wrong.
> Reddit uses 100% volunteer work and the entirety of the Reddit content moderation structure is Volunteer

Perhaps this is a fundamental flaw with the platform. I see no reason why the people hosting and curating the communities shouldn't have a share of the money generated from them.

I've been working on a platform called Sociables to help address this problem. On the platform, people who create and run the communties have optional means of renumeration baked into the platform such as offering monthly membership plans, selling "awards" that can be assigned to comments and posts, donations, and more.

While it's not a fit for every type of community, I think aligning the incentives of the platform provider with the sources of where the the value is created (the communities) is crucial for fostering a healthy environment and avoiding this situation where the platform goes to war against itself.

"End-of-life care accounts for about 10-12% of all healthcare spending" [1], though "spending in the last three calendar years of life reached 24.5 percent in Taiwan," suggesting "high aggregate medical spending is due not to last-ditch efforts to save lives but to spending on people with chronic conditions" [2].

Stanford A.I. Courses
hello,

if i want to share some text/link or even a file or two with my team, i'm using good-old email.

just my 0.02€
I grew up in Texas and I could handle the heat just fine, but why deal with that crap if you don't have to? You can get used to 115º and dry in Dallas, but why would you want to? If you're in Houston and it's 105º and 105% humidity outside, you can just stay indoors all the time or walked around completely soaked through in sweat, but why?

I have the same ridiculous conversations over and over with family and friends who still live there. "It's just so miserable here, I don't want to go outside while the sun is up. But ... " "... freedom ... " (friends) or "... I've never lived anywhere else and I don't travel and can't imagine living anywhere else ..." (family).

I read this incredible article by some idiot who moved from San Francisco to Austin and wrote a list of ten LIES he was told. Four of ten were "it is hot here and no one told me that". One was "electricity is actually MORE expensive in Texas". Electricity in Austin was 1/4 the price of what I currently pay in San Francisco per/kwh, but this idiot moved from a 1500sqft house without AC in a moderately cold climate to a 5000sqft house with AC in an extra-hot climate and was surprised that his utility bill increased. Texas is filled with people like that. I don't miss Texas at all.
Weather-wise, what's weird about the Panhandle?
This would be great. Google sent out an email not long ago that they were discontinuing nest cams. Mine still works great but soon will become a paperweight, otherwise.
What state actor doesn’t understand statistical deanoymization attacks against tor?

Interestingly, the NeuroMechFly project [1] already exists, so integrating the two together may already be under way. At 50 million synapses, a modest gaming PC should be able to run the simulation. I wonder what people will think once they are able to do this at home?

> A real scraper would be stopped by a rate limit

I'm guessing you've never played an offensive or defensive role in scraping because what you've described is in no way a problem for a serious scraping effort. I agree the rate limits are stupid. They fuck over users, they stop amateur scrapers, and do nothing whatsoever to impede professional scraping.

If you want to stop most scraping, employ device attestation techniques and TLS fingerprinting.
> I'm saying that average people get banned from subreddits all the time for completely innocuous remarks.

I'm am saying my past 14 years on reddit do not confirm your statement.

Sure if you go to r/conservative and say something blue, you get insta-banned, because they do indeed hate free speech there, but this type of situation is the vast majority of "innocuous remarks getting somebody banned" : not understanding the subreddit.

> Never getting banned isn't a badge of honor

I'm not sure why you keep bringing this up, because nobody said it was, a straw man.
Cats sleep 16 hours a day so I guess it might work out as something like ASSASSASSASSASSASSASSASS. You're welcome.
Legitimately curious - do you have any evidence that the average reddit account is banned from multiple subreddits all the time?

I've had multiple accounts I've been using for years with hundreds of posts/comments and as far as I know I've never been banned anywhere, and it's not like I haven't gotten into arguments or put forward opinions. I've had posts deleted, but always because I hadn't formatted it properly or followed some rule, but even that didn't lead to a ban.
"The thinking was that only men could be hunters because of their supposedly superior strength, says Sang-Hee Lee, a biological anthropologist"

Men's strength is only supposedly superior? I'd be interested in seeing Sang-Hee Lee's study data....
You presented something that is a complete non-sequitur if (as, in fact, is the case) it has nothing to do with Europe in response to a question specifically about identifying which European countries have a relevant difference from the US method of computing infant mortality.
>“I had a sneaking suspicion that women were going to be regular hunters,” Wall-Scheffler says. What surprised her was the intentionality: Among the societies with women hunters, 87% did so deliberately rather than opportunistically happening upon prey by chance. “When they get up at the beginning of the day, they’re heading out” to hunt.

This seems to broadly disagree with your claim that "Turns out that in most societies women do engage in hunting, but only a tiny percent of the time." Do you have a source for that claim?
Many imperial units make little sense, but Celsius and Fahrenheit are both equally arbitrary scales.
CSS-in-JS is a far more pervasive issue IMO. SVG-in-JS has a definite performance cost, but it's not an anti-pattern.
I believe in a balance. Spending 1 hour for the task mentioned in the article is something that should just be done without having to ask for approval.

But knowing what to do and when to ask for "approval", requires that we are aligned with the business, so that we can make these decisions in the context of "the greater good". If not, the business may decide to take away these privileges and start micro managing.
"information" is not a good term for the opposite. Entropy is a well defined concept in information theory (and can be connected to the physical concept). More entropy means more information, not less.
10 years ago we had 3 months straight of ~110 in Austin. Downtown was a hellhole with all the concrete. But even in 110f I was fine with walking the greenbelt in the shade.
Graphing y=x^0 -> y=x^1 and y=x^1 -> y=(1/2)(x^2) and doing math on the shapes (just simple squares and rectangles) makes those pretty intuitive. I just see it as an extension of that.

Famine is more likely as changing weather patterns can devastate crops if they don't get rain at the appropriate times.
Beer, the Original Tech Industry
My understanding:

Global warming occurs because the previous equilibrium between incoming and outgoing energy has been broken by changes in the composition of the atmosphere.

So until we reach a new equilibrium long after the atmosphere composition ceases to change, the outgoing energy will be less than the incoming energy.
IP blocking blocks most of the people on our local ISP. They are small, and use CGNAT, so one owned windows machine across town breaks sites like yours for everyone, and the root cause is extremely difficult to debug for end users.

As much as I deeply, deeply dislike captchas, ip blocking is far worse.

They're just exporting natural gas on top of all the crude they can find. Not the revolutionary pivot one would hope for. On top, natural gas extraction is associated with runaway methane emissions, which are among the most potent climate gas. Which we have known for a while, but the industry failed to address this.[^1][^2] It's all cheap talk.

A mod is characterized by their power to moderate. They may also have useful trades, they might also be content creators or blacksmiths who hammer iron, but that isn't what makes them a mod. What makes them a mod is the authority and power, given to them by the King, to strike down any commoner they please.
Silk Road was a hidden service so exit nodes were not involved (they would use rendezvous points). If my recollection from American Kingpin is correct, Silk Road was caught because it leaked its IP address in error messages, and Ulbricht posted questions about bitcoin on Stack Overflow using the same name as the bitcointalk post announcing Silk Road. Its clearnet IP was visible for almost the entire lifespan of the site, I believe.
> Lucky that there isnt any corporation with the exclusive ability to sell the number 7 or the letter F.

I'm pretty sure there are. Those letters and numbers were sponsoring shows, and they had to get the money for that somewhere, presumably their corporate overlords.
What explanation is there to give? It's just the ordinary meaning of the word: when you cut out a shape you end up with some extra material left over.
Texas, like California, has extensive but empty territory. The question is whether the populated areas of Texas have survivable weather. In the last week, wet bulb temperatures over 90º have persisted from Tallahassee to San Antonio.
Things like rust, scala etc are obviously created by brilliant and scary smart people.

But the problem is being smart is often correlated with being arrogant and not giving a single f..ck about mere mortals and their real life needs.

But mere mortals are not smart enough to create a new programming language.

Therefore you hardly ever see a good devx and well designed syntax etc in a programming language.
Dyson batteries are a good example:

Dyson vacuum batteries are designed to fail

* Series battery cells in a battery pack inevitably become imbalanced. This is extremely common and why cell balancing was invented.

* Dyson uses a very nice ISL94208 battery management IC that includes cell balancing. It only requires 6 resistors that cost $0.00371 each, or 2.2 cents in total for six.

* Dyson did not install these resistors. (They even designed the V6 board, PCB 61462, to support them. They just left them out.)

* Rather than letting an unbalanced pack naturally result in lower usable capacity, when the cells go moderately (300mV) out of balance (by design, see step 3) Dyson programmed the battery to stop working...permanently. It will give you the 32 red blinks of death and will not charge or discharge again. It could not be fixed. Until now.

I took a stat thermo class and it was basically all about entropy, which was expresed as ln W- the log of the number of ways (permutations) that a system can be ordered, which gives a convenient denominator when calculating the probability of a specific permutation. Here's the professor's book, which was still only in latex form when we took the class: https://www.amazon.com/Molecular-Driving-Forces-Statistical-...
Reddit could of done the same. Reddit subscription for your account that a 3rd party like apollo can use.
No, it will completely eliminate it, if the capacitor is large enough. If you're super paranoid you can do the maths and compute how much does it cut off at such frequency ranges. It's likely to be a ridiculous value. And one does not have an infinite amplitude resolution in any measurement device.

Also, you can just power the LED from a separate voltage regulator. Which is somewhat likely anyways, as the IC will probably want a lower voltage.

(Don't get me wrong, it's cool stuff, but there's also a very easy solution.)
What I think I did was write a comment that said "be a little careful" with IMR comparisons, because IMR methodologies aren't uniform. If you want to argue with someone about specific European IMR methodologies, you're going to have to find someone to write that comment.

If you want to read papers about methodological issues with European IMR measurements, they're easy to find, for whatever that's worth to you. I don't much care.
Don't forget that Excel file format is literally 30 years old. When you have 4MB of RAM in total for your OS, Excel and whatever part of the file you can fit into the rest and your CPU is an i486 if you're lucky, minimizing parsing starts to make lots of sense.
You mean without delimiters, or? Stripping superfluous delimiters in logs isn't unusal.
