I don't have access to HN's or Reddit's data, but I suspect that it only takes a few dozen people to accomplish the "heavy lifting" you had mentioned. This is particularly noticeable on city/state subreddits, where you quickly notice who 'the usual suspects' are because they comment so consistently and show their ideological bias so readily. These folks may or may not be coordinating on a discord, but I ultimately think they have an activist mindset and are driven to try and control the discourse on the community they see as "theirs".

I've seen people in smaller city subreddits try and stand up to these folks, but they end up getting about a dozen downvotes on all their posts. They probably don't have the energy to keep putting up with all the contentiousness and they almost always give up trying to argue and the echo chamber is restored.

The competition has already been run. It's from 1993.
This is a legit showcase of how broken American publishing is in case of making titles. This pattern is so typically American than I can immediately identify it, the same way American TV shows or documentaries are esthetically strongly peculiar.

Yes thanks thats better.
"very very" was a bit exaggerated but it's far from perfect. There's always something. I'm using KDE neon which should be as new as it gets. For multi monitor: it forgets that I had a second desktop, renders it black, switching between two monitors and none is also error prone.. it's not "bad" I'm used to it but as I said, some bug been here for a while now.

I'm not sure I'd use censor in the context of Julia's post. It read more like the next thing you quoted. Something's well-trod and people have strong opinions but absolutely no one is going to change their mind or really make a novel point or learn anything new.

I do think there are things that many people self-sensor, e.g. opinions that fall outside or on the edges of the orthodoxy of some bubble and is just going to trigger emotional arguments/stereotyping/downvotes/etc.
I've been down-voted into obscurity too many times for simply telling people to question and think. How often do articles make it to the front of HN about sensational accusations? Accusations, not convictions.
There are perhaps two parts that you might not understand - the rules of the sport (or specifically this trick shot), and the celebrity players on the team of the 1993 Chicago Bulls.

The rules are mostly discussed in the article - you have to loft a large ball (larger and firmer than a soccer ball) into a hole (technically "hoop", a horizontal metal rim, with a soft netting underneath that slows the descent) that's a bit bigger than that ball, without getting closer than 80 feet to the target.

For the sake of this discussion Michael Jordan is analogous to Pelé or Messi of football (soccer) fame.
How has the process of adopting tickets been for you? Do they often require significant rewrite/additional context? As at least everywhere I have worked, the backlog is full of single sentence context free bugs that are obvious to the product owner and anyone who has worked there for a while, but are useless to anyone new.

For example, in my first job, I was tasked with greying out a button after it had been clicked. Trivial and generic task. But I was paired with a brand new senior to do the work and we spent a day trying to find the correct button (being new and wanting to seem useful, we didn't want to ask).
They don't, but if you have given them access to Docker then it's just as if you had given them access to root.
> it doesn't matter if you're doing your calculations in meters, feet, miles, kilometers, parsecs, AUs, nanometers, Planck lengths--you'll get the same relative accuracy.

Yes, but if I'm working with lengths where I know micrometers are good enough, but I also want micrometer (or, at least, better-than-millimeter) precision, but I want to actually deal in meters and I know I'm not going to be dealing with lengths longer than 100km, then fixed point would be ideal for that.

Simlarly, if I want to deal in dollars, but need cent precision (or, tenth of a cent precision), and need it to be precise, then fixed point would be ideal for that too.

I think the disconnect might be that I wasn't considering fixed-point arithmetic as a general replacement for floating-point arithmetic, I'm considering it as a complement to floating-point, to be used in the cases where it makes sense to do so.

The impression I got from the commenter I was originally replying to was "fixed point is absolutely terrible and there is never a reason to prefer it over floats". If that wasn't an intended implication, I guess I'm kind of arguing into the void.
I really doubt there’s intentional fraud here, but they were forced to publish (or pre-print to be pedantic) early. [0] This certainly led to less rigor.

Why not guacamole or smth
It is typical that the "concerned scientists" that authored the article weren't concerned about overloading the electrical grid with all of the additional power draw from charging electric cars.

Why is every article that proclaims the value and benefits of electric vehicles ignoring the three factors that will give them a black-eye in public opinion?

1. Where does all of the power come from to generate electricity to charge the electric car?

2. How do we put out the fires when the electric vehicles' batteries catch fire on a daily basis?

3. Where does the additional infrastructure come from to charge all of the Electric Vehicles?

The basic math won't add up at the rate the government is promoting EV adoption. Run the numbers.

> cold-blooded things like frogs have fairly massive genomes too

Yes, the genome size of the common frog (Rana temporaria) genome is 4.1 Gb. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/datasets/taxonomy/8407/ which is larger than that of mammal genomes.

On the other hand, the smallest frog genome is the Ornate burrowing frog at 1.06 GB, which is 1/3rd the size of the human genome. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genome#Genome_size . https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ornate_burrowing_frog says:

"This is an adaptation to the desert environment where it lives. Because the ponds where they breed dries up fast in the desert, the tadpoles has to go through metamorphosis as fast as possible, which can occur just eleven days after the eggs were fertilized. A small genome gives small cells, and the smaller the cells are, the faster the tadpoles transform into small frogs and can escape the shrinking ponds"

Xenopus laevis (African clawed frog) is 2.7 Gb, also smaller than humans - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/datasets/taxonomy/8355/

Thus, warm/cold-blooded cannot be the main reason for the difference.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genome_size :

"genome size is not proportional to the number of genes present in the genome ... In eukaryotes (but not prokaryotes), genome size is not proportional to the number of genes present in the genome, an observation that was deemed wholly counter-intuitive before the discovery of non-coding DNA and which became known as the "C-value paradox" as a result."

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C-value#Variation_among_specie... :

"Variation in C-values bears no relationship to the complexity of the organism or the number of genes contained in its genome; for example, some single-celled protists have genomes much larger than that of humans. ... C-values correlate with a range of features at the cell and organism levels, including cell size, cell division rate, and, depending on the taxon, body size, metabolic rate, developmental rate, organ complexity, geographical distribution, or extinction risk ...

> "10 years (or whatever) from time the product comes to market or from the time they stop selling it?"

Consumer law is typically based on the date of purchase. So, 10 years from the date of purchase, for example.

Although, as pointed out by another commenter, UK consumers effectively have these rights already, as they have the right to return (to the retailer) a product that is no longer functioning after a reasonable amount of time for repair, replacement, or refund.

IMO this doesn't help solve backlog problems, it just means paying the (non-headcount) costs of a junior dev while not even making people investment that will make it worth it later.

In general, jr devs are net-negative. (If they're not, they're not junior! promote them!). They are an investment, they are learning and growing. It will take a senior longer to review, mentor, and coach them to a PR that the senior could've gone straight to that same PR. The whole point is that eventually you've grown another senior dev who will return big multiples on their compensation.

This sounds like you're just going to be spending sr dev time reviewing and rejecting, to have de minimis backlog items (there's a reason they're in the backlog and not prioritized) fixed, and you're not even growing a senior dev, which is the whole point.

Plus, IME most companies carry so much cultural context that being exposed to it for exactly 1 ticket + not having inside people to ask questions means this will be an uphill battle.

>...the DNC, did their best to sideline his campaign, possibly even with some hanky-panky in the SC and Super Tuesday elections. The "Bernie Bros" narrative is perhaps part of that, but just as a Red Herring....

I don't disagree that the mainstream media may have hurt him(though I'm not convinced they did). I'm mainly disagreeing that anything bad happened during the primary process with sc and super tuesday.
Indeed, but I don't see how you're going to special case this if you aren't willing/able to at the same time get a frontal assault from the pharmaceutic giants.
30%-50% drop in range living in a cold wintery climate (including reduced efficiency via snow tires), makes it not an option for me, esp. going to larger town to shop, ski, or hike in remote trails. My garage is unheated and in the winter I need to use a battery tender with long extension cable to house or my car wont start. Jan/Feb can have stretch of average temp below 0 F.
I really enjoy using alpine.js. It gives me dead-simple lightweight DOM manipulation with much less code than vanilla JS or jQuery and doesn't require any build systems.

The weight is crazy (Model 3 long range is ~1000lbs), so you need a serious facility to swap.

They are relatively delicate, and flammable in a terrifying way, so you'd need to trust the facility more than e.g. your average oil & tire swap shop.

From an engineering POV they need a coolant loop w/ a pump, a high voltage connect to the charger, and usually also a connection to a DC-DC converter for the 12v systems on the car. So if you make it modular/removable, you need a (standardized) answer for how to do all of this.

The form factor of the battery is tied fairly strongly to the chassis generally, so if you force a standardization of it you limit manufacturer's options there.

Finally, probably the most important, is ownership model. The battery is the most expensive part in the car, by far. It basically is the car. Who owns it? What's the revenue model? How does insurance handle it? Will consumers accept a situation where they're getting random batteries shoved in affecting the performance etc. of their car?

It's just a whole thing. It's been attempted, and not succeeded is what I see.

Now, what I don't understand is why this isn't the model for EV shipping trucks. In that case they already have a highly modular, heavy duty platform and they already have to check into frequent weigh stations, and the operator rarely owns the truck. I don't understand why the shipping industry wouldn't pursue a model where a standardized set of pre-charged batteries aren't sitting on automated forklifts at weigh stations ready for swap during weigh-ins, with the fleet owners paying a fee for that maintenance...

We used fake food all the time in product photography.

I could tell you stories about motor oil (to simulate syrup), lucite ice, agar or glycerine "dew drops" or the shine of "fat" on grilled meats, shaving cream (to simulate whipped cream), acrylic soups, and so on.

I could also tell the story of when an intern accidentally overdid the CO2 (to "reactivate" a drink), and sprayed a big glass of warm, flat cola onto a $40k Linhof 4x5 camera/lens. Yeah, that intern was me on my first day.
It's refreshing to see a company follow through on their promised use case. Especially since a lot of devices (home automation bridges, nas, media set tops, etc) are just purpose dedicated computers. I'd love for my next home server to be a laptop upgrade and 3d print away.
He could only get wins when all of the other candidates didn't collude with each other. Those 6 candidates were election stuffing to take focus off of Bernie, to the point that almost all of them pretended to be for single-payer health care. Pretending to support single-payer is literally the only reason that Harris made the national stage. The only reason Buttigieg entered the picture is because he was a nobody that was put up in the same way to split the liberal-left vote for DNC chair from Keith Ellison.

The idea that Bernie's loss is because he "wasn't that popular" withers under the fact that Biden won the election. Biden wasn't even popular among Democratic Party insiders, they just 1) had no leverage to make him stop his campaign, and 2) their preferred candidates like Harris and Buttigieg were far more repulsive to the public than Biden.

The fairness of voting, auctions, etc. wither under collusion.

We’ve only automated onboarding for JS/TS, but support more, like most JS/TS frameworks (React, Node, Vue), Django,

We have automated on-boarding flow only for JS / TS, but we in-fact support 15 tech stacks including React Native, .Net, Native Mobile & Django

Mobile is our largest tech stack after JS / TS because we were able to build review environment for mobile apps that make it drastically easier for junior devs to review and QA their PR before its pushed upstream without having the actual native device.

It's quite refreshing to see some results of this competition specially in comparison with the M5 that is the most relevant competition in time series.

For practitioners one thing that is important to consider is that this competition had datasets with way longer time intervals (I think M5 has a lot of time series but in a short horizon) and the methods used back in the day was way more sophisticated.
