I am considering buying an e-bike. However, I live in NYC and have access to Citibikes. I am a member so I can ride regular bikes for free and pay pennies for short trips on last-gen bikes.

So if I pay $1000 for a Roadster V2, what exactly am I getting? Sure, Citibike can be inconvenient: sometimes I won't find a good bike and sometimes I won't be able to park. For this, I'm not sure it's worth paying the prize.

Having my own bike also exposes me to risk of theft and having to carry it in and out of my apartment (I don't currently have bike storage in my building). Hence, it seems like I've already found my optimal solution.
Modern browsers zoom by increasing the CSS pixel size, so now all units are relative
Sure, but that the first day of PE, they had loads of massive conglomerates to strip. Those are all gone now, and the current management structures (except in tech) are hostile to insourcing so there's not as much fat to cut.

Like, definitely some PE firms will survive, but I'm willing to bet (not short though ;) ) that an awful lot of them will go belly-up/be unable to raise more funds in the next 5-10 years.

Get a folding e-bike and you can bring it indoors so that you don't have to lock it up outside.

I used to watch YouTube on my TV without adblocker almost every day, but it's now forcing so many ads that my usage has plummeted. There's always at least two for every few minutes of actual video, they're almost all at least 20 seconds long and unskippable.

The few times I do still watch a video I now have a nice (annoying) little ritual: Click and go back and repeat until the first ad is less than 10 seconds, then watch that to the end, then go back and click again which skips the second ad. It's going to play another 2 ads 5 minutes in no matter what, so I might as well.
And the first time I read about those crabs, I checked Wikipedia to see if they were real too. Too many hoaxes on the Internet, but most of them are trivial to find out if they're real.
> it's that the single payer that does exist (both medicare and medicaid are single payer) has decided not to increase the amount of money available

Excuse my ignorance as a non-American, but I don't understand how Medicare and Medicaid can be called "single-payer", even if we bunch both of them together for the sake of the argument. Are certain healthcare providers restricted so as to only accept Medicare and/or Medicaid patients, and cannot by law accept those who are privately insured or would like to pay out of pocket? That is the only context in which I can imagine Medicare/Medicaid being called "single payer".
I'm pretty sure an EUC is way more efficient than any e-bike.
Probably an HP 16600/16700[1]. The control processor is basically a repackaged HP-PA workstation running a full version of HP/UX. Used X11 for remote access. The earlier 16500 had an optional, separate equivalent processor.

I have a 16702A, which includes a front panel LCD and keyboard console. It's a beast.

That works both ways, though. Content that is high quality but is lacking broad appeal will go away as well.

> But, achieving all of the other attributes of simple HTTP triggered functions in a DIY context is very challenging without also spinning up a billion dollar corporation and hiring 1k more people.

I literally rolled my eyes reading that. How do you think we did before cloud computing?

I am currently in charge of multiple teams scaling and deploying innovative applications for a large industrial company. We are using Azure for everything. Our cloud costs are insane for our number of users. I used to manage applications with ten times more user for one hundredth of the cost and less complexity. It’s billed to another part of the company which is responsible for this dubious choice (I really hope someone is getting nice business trips paid by MS so it’s not a complete waste) so I don’t care but how people can blindly put faith in the cloud is beside me.
I think the point is that it seems highly unimaginative (or perhaps just highly unempathetic, if there's a difference in this situation) to not see how a casual reader could just take it at face value and go on with their day. This seems especially plausible to me if I think of someone who knows little of the natural world beyond the odd thing they've come across on the internet, doubly so if not from America. At face value it seems as plausible as anything else, with just a bit of scrutiny it clearly doesn't hold up.

But I suppose you have your deficiencies too, same as those who thought it to be real (however briefly).
>Why are chargebacks higher?

People pretend their purchases are fraud or regret their purchase later so they chargeback more frequently than other services.

>Why can't that just be accounted for in the processor's rates?

Because it's easier as a credit card processor to just drop all of your high risk clients and focus on serving the rest of your customers as best as you can. Of course that leaves a whole in the market for other credit card processors that charge more for allowing higher risk purchasing.
They are temporary channels, not the simple and low friction version that Slack uses.
This very well may be true, in the same sense that a Python programmer doesn't (usually) care about assembly language. But at their lowest levels, quantum computers are executing a sequence of gates, and much of the work and sophistication of a quantum compiler is to optimize said sequences for rapid and accurate execution. So while gate sequences may not be the end-game to the programmers of tomorrow, they're undoubtedly a necessary component in any software stack.
An even better solution, imho, is that rules should be automated.

New rules are added, and the automation adds rule override comments to every existing violation - which also lets you track them. When you need to rush code out that needs to violate a rule, you add an override comment as well, with your name assigned to fix it.

Then over time, you build a culture that wants to fix these rule violations separate from feature development.
I only wrote some file munging and reporting programs in Factor, a batteries-included Forth. Nobody would need these tools, so I was free to make and use for myself. They had people scraping HTML and Excel reports to do their reporting before. I exported my results to HTML and Excel. Sneaky fun for myself!
Ads on youtube became irrelevant long ago, there's a reason for the massive increase of sponsored content. Even small creators relies on them now.
"weird life" is pretty basic idea in astrobiology. The scientists in the field are very much aware of the concept. From the article

> plenty of other experts suggest that life elsewhere might be so different, so fundamentally alien, as to be unrecognizable to us as life. Surprisingly, a pretty big question amongst scientists searching for life on other planets is what life even means. Would we know it when we saw it?

---

> We may have to accept that some entities might exist beyond our grasp of understanding and should develop novel tools that seek not only life as we know it, but any form of organized complexity that could denote a radically different kind of life.

Maybe at some point, but right now we haven't even scrathed the surface in the search, and with limited resources it makes sense to start first by looking for earth-like life, and eventually expand the search for weirder things.

> Such a perspective fundamentally changes the narrative of our search for alien life.

I don't really find that to be the case. If anything, the weird life narrative might be overemphasized in the popsci/scifi communities.

> RedHat pulled what is commonly known as a "dick-move". Ef them and the horse they rode in on.

To be fair, nobody forced you to use RHEL. Nor is RHEL a prerequisite to using the open source software that RHEL depends on.

> That's nice... but Redhat's entire business is also built on the open source software contributed by tens of thousands of others... "We will give you the SRPM because we legally have to, but if you actually exercise any of the rights afforded to you by the GPL that software was licensed to us under we will immediately terminate you as a customer"

I'm sorry but your reasoning doesn't make much sense. We all should have the right to cease to do business with anyone for any reason, whether it's a good reason or not. I don't think that is a right that we should be so quick to abolish.

Your rights to the source are not being infringed. Yet you want to force RedHat to do business with you on your terms, and in so doing deny them their right to cease to do business with you for any reason.

How does their right to cease to do business affect your ability to distribute/modify the source? It does not, not any more than a pizza shop's refusal to continue to do business with you affect your ability to take home and consume a pizza you bought.

If, by analogy, buying one pizza gives you a perpetual and unconditional right to demand that you be served another pizza, I don't see how such a line of reasoning could be implied as a violation of your rights rather than theirs. Put another way, your rights to the source doesn't translate into a right to perpetual service.
Pablo Picasso once said "Art is the lie that reveals the truth." Except that he didn't really say that. What he said was "Art is a lie that makes us realize truth, at least the truth that is given us to understand." (The Arts: An Illustrated Monthly Magazine Covering All Phases of Ancient and Modern Art, NYC, 1923)

Is there a subtle truth to your friend's lie? It need not be related to scallions. We perceive the world through narrative. Perhaps your friend was introducing a fundamental truth through the revelation of scallions growing in a bathroom. Or at least that's how we would interpret it on my home planet of Zeta Reticulii IV. Of course the "fact" that I'm from Zeta Reticulii IV is a lie. I grew up in Texas. You can make your own decisions regarding the relative adherence to consensual reality between Texas and Zeta Reticulii IV.

Perhaps the story of growing scallions in the bathroom is nothing other than the creation of a shared history. Does it matter that history is counter-factual? We're social beings. We do things like that.
The newer Rad bikes have hydraulic brakes - the older ones (like my City 3) had cable brakes with the integrated motor cutoff.

I upgraded to hydraulic brakes and wanted to keep the motor cutoff - it was hard to find levers with the integrated switch. I ended up with a kit using XOD brakes, which have the integrated cutoff and are otherwise just fine. I did, however, toss their included brake pads after a bit of riding and replaced them with Tektro P20.11 metal/ceramic pads, and those made a huge difference. That and bleeding the brakes properly.
After having read the IPCC report, no. A mix of energy is a very viable solution. And if states would not cater to the needs of the nuclear industry, we would have zero plants right now because the price of electricity was never high enough to get the plants insured. Which might change if the price for power climbs, but with renewables on the rise, a limit to that rise or even decline is to be expected.

And for some reason, mainstream social media loves nuclear, so I do question if there is a bias for a technology that every spacefaring state, except for india and china (AFAICT?), has botched at some catastrophic event so far.

It can do full text search (subtitles, comments) right in the ui. It seems to be designed for large scale backups. I use it for a couple hundred important to me or likely to be removed videos and it works excellent, too.

The fediverse might be technically better, but it's a big mess. Is it PubSub, is it Mastodon, Lemmy, Podcasting 2.0? We're trying to put way to many project and ideas into "The Fediverse" to provide a clear trajectory.

I feel like it would have been easier to fix NNTP. It had at least a clear focus.
To be fair, I see some good things about that.

But to answer my own question, the system you have in place to ensure you don't miss things is "just don't make mistakes, just don't miss things". In the event that you do make a mistake (like accidentally moving your finger in a slightly wrong pattern on the screen) there will be no feedback or signal to indicate you have missed something.

If you’re riding a bike you’ve actually weighed, the bike should be in your sight or locked up at home. If you’re leaving it locked up in public, that should be a different, far less valuable bike.
I agree. Touche!
Except if the range of the function given the same domain is much, much bigger. Extrapolation of a [massively multidimensional, non-linear] function is a lot harder than interpolation.
Regarding 2, the still requires you to believe that either Banks or Pension funds are fine with hemorrhaging millions or billions of dollars buying PE debt and haven't figured it out over the course of a half century.

I think the real answer is more unsettling for some. PE debt has volatility but is on net a profitable investment. You can smooth out volatility with volume and by spreading it around.

This is the only explanation that doesn't depend on a source of dumb money that can never learn buying this debt.

I'd be willing to change my opinion I came across data showing that PE debt has net losses over a multi-decade time scale.

Show HN: 28 Day Dopamine Detox Tool
Hey lovely HN people :)

A few months ago I listened to a podcast about doing a 4 week dopamine detox for addiction recovery.

They talked about how the first 2 weeks are the hardest, but that if you can make it through that, things get easier in week 3 and 4.

When they put it that way it actually sounded doable. Just 2 weeks? I can push through that. So I tried it for myself and yeah, it was pretty much right on.

That inspired me to make a little web app that gives a little structure and guidance to this process.

I hope it's useful to someone :) And I'm eager to hear what you think!
I'm not an expert, but my understanding it is about tolerance and quality control, both of which increase costs. It is rare for someone to pick a lock to get into a house so it isn't worth the costs.

All locks can be picked, but it takes more skill for the better ones. Modern encryption is (so our math says, though i'm not sure what the limits are) essentially unbreakable, and so a better solution.

As soon as you're into surplus for sourcing parts you've essentially done an end-run around your target pricing: it will work, for a very limited run and then you find the 'true cost'.

What would probably be better is to see what design limitation crop up if you try doing it for say $1000 without any surplus parts.
So why aren't new doctors opening their own practices? What has changed in the last 20/30/40 years that are leading up and coming doctors to choose working for someone else instead of opening their own practice?
Sorry, late reply. I've never really had any serious issues with bugs, but desensitization by exposure is the way to go. I've used the iNaturalist app photographing and identifying insects for years, so when I find a new to me species I learn about their life history, and explore what I've seen in its taxonomy. So I'm comfortable around most bugs now since I know which are harmless, and which are the handful that have a sting/bite they'll actually use. Most insects, like most animals, don't want to fight, and would prefer to be left alone. Bees aren't going to sting unless you harass them or you threaten their hive, most wasps don't sting, and very few are aggressive. Grasshoppers and katydids totally do bite though, they scare me. Also I steer clear of anything that looks like a fire ant, centipede, warrior wasps, hornet, or yellowjacket.
Excellent point I don’t. But on the flip side I know I cannot use as little soap as a dishwasher since it’s down the drain

> Worldwide, we’re in a nuclear boom

This is not what a boom looks like: https://world-nuclear.org/getmedia/18acef23-4f61-4e14-b66e-7...

and it won't be better if you have a closer look. Take Europe, for example. Nuclear plants over budget and overdue (France, UK), projects which are highly unlikely to be ever build (Poland), a rotting nuclear fleet (France) and a final exit in Germany.

Then there are all those plants in poor countries which depend on Russia.

And then there is China with their magically fast build reactors but also with massive coal and renewable construction.

Nuclear peaked years ago, and it's going to be a decline in the future since it is money in the end deciding the fate and nuclear isn't worth it.

Embarrassing article, for the writer.
Good luck using pseudoclasses, pseudoelements or media queries in inline styles.

Wrt Tailwind I still have not used it enough to decide whether it is good™ but it is not that different from writing inline styles.

Apart from optional plugins it is more like a CSS preprocessor than a framework (every class expands to one or few CSS declaration)

The most frameworky features it has is that it predefines CSS variables to allow further customization
Ebikes are ugly (subjectively speaking) because of the battery, but there are significant trade-offs when you design that away, like vendor-locked designs and energy capacity/performance. Assuming battery technology will improve, which seems likely, ebikes should get nicer looking (again, subjectively) in the future.
maybe so, but it doesn't work on Android 13
I agree with you about that statement, but why don’t you commit to an unstable branch? Why risk losing something or pass up having a better development history?
And sometimes the unhappy case is simply more "important". It's nice when code reads like prose, and matches how you'd describe something using natural language. Perl has the `unless` statement for exactly this purpose. This pattern isn't inherently bad, sometimes it's just what you wanted to say.
> the M&A people will talk someone in the lending department into doing the deal.

According to the standard narrative, lenders have been repeatedly duped into throwing billions into bad PE investments for decades.

If you had a friend who asked for a thousand dollars every month, always promised to pay you back and never did, how long would you continue to give him a thousand dollars each month?

If "talking" alone can accomplish this, I think we need to start considering the intervention of supernatural forces in these deals.
