> the crime you are committing is not simply that you're surprising someone by tampering with their property, but you might be doing it with a specific intent to cause an accident.

this is nice rhetoric and all but doesn't apply at all in this situation

nothing has been tampered with: the cone can be removed and having done so the vehicle will be indistinguishable from before it was placed (no property damage)

the "attack" keeps the vehicle in its safest possible state (that in which it can't move) so there is no intent to cause an accident

and you still have yet to point out which law is being broken (I suspect because there isn't one), so it is a crime?

however the company may be able to go after you in a civil court for lost revenue/reputation

> Although James Cook and Jean-Francois de Galaup both made a careful study of the inhabitants and their homes, their accounts said nothing about any written texts. It was not until December 1864 that anyone seems to have noticed it; and by then, it seemed to be everywhere.

Do they consider that it's possibly (keith haring style) art that caught on and was widely imitated after the Rapa Nui people saw the Europeans' written languages?

Might linguists be accidentally trying to decipher what's possibly not written language at all?
Crazy thought: if they'd apologized, maybe they wouldn't end up in court.
A watt has dimensions of energy over time. It cannot be used to express a measure of energy unless you multiply it by time, as in a watt-hour.
No. Muslims did jihad, not terrorism. See the difference directly in a meme from the eyes of a leading Muslim news platform: https://muslimskeptic.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/photo_3...

In addition to that, it's strictly forbidden to plunder or steal, or harm women, children and elderly in the Islamic jihad. Pretty high standards the USA cannot and would not even dream of achieving. Snowden revelations come to mind.
Ha, it's BI-toof (bi like in bit) and in Kashubian Bëtowò. Their city website has some nice multimedia* BTW, the songs (Bytów w piosence) is particularly great.

Tongue in cheek, yes, but I’m sure that if we can make this about contributing to climate change via energy consumption then there will be a sufficient group of folks ready to label it evil.
This is absurd nihilism. If we change the meanings of words then any sentence can mean anything and stating "every government is democratic" is a clear example of that.
Do you have any source supporting that claim?

Reading the article, the compounds mentioned (benzaldehyde, vanillin, ethylbenzene and 2-ethyl hexanol) are either already used by the food industry, or exhibit low toxicity in animal models.

Considering the tiniest amount of any of them is used, I wouldn't describe the dish as "incredibly unhealthy".
It even makes a lot more sense than electric cars, since they can get away with small swappable batteries.

> stealing other countries' shit at gunpoint, which went out of fashion after WW2

It didn’t go out of fashion. Industrialization made wars of conquest unprofitable by 1890-1910 or so, and it took the world that long to get a clue. (Russia, notably, still hasn’t figured it out.) If you build one factory, you make money; if you build an army to steal your neighbor’s factory, most likely you both get zero factories.

Yes I know why they are there like the red flags on front of the first automobiles and I wonder when they will disappear. They shouldn't go now, obviously!

Additionally it's weird they pretend to be combustion engines. Why not play something unique?

Will our future streets be filled with electric vehicles with the same shape pretending to carry bulky ICE engines in the front and making the sound of an extinct machine? What an odd future.

So we agree you are asking for something impossible to prove? Not sure you got my point.
It's a metaphor meant to help you understand that the conceits with which you have been raised, namely that Democracy is a sacred system held only teneuously by a few Western states and that the narrative that there are oppressed peoples that are held hostage by their state and we must help them are geopolitical lies you've fallen for.

Really smart people frequently use these metaphors that bust unquestioned cultural mores. Comparison is a very powerful tool.
what a great gesture!! put a smile in my face
Most rain never reaches the ground and the radar is measuring rain that is very far above ground level, so it generates false positives.

Reliable at-ground-level rain measurement has to come from other sources, like automotive sensors, ground weather stations, RF propagation measurements in mobile networks, etc. The downside is that these often have much less coverage than the radar.
'retain'. He was democratically booted of Iran, and his first coup failed.

The democratically elected president had even more western values and his only flaw was that he was a bit too socialist for the local elites, who couldn't have thrown him off without US pushing for cooperation.

I'm not sure that I'd want to avoid using a good abstraction because 20 years from now, it may perform marginally worse than it could had it been modeled with much more complexity. Clearly it depends on the use case, but you get my point.

Author of article here - this is quite interesting. I also despise advertising (which is why I'm now a developer..) and I think everyone hates advertising that is just badly targeted (does not interest you). And that is most of advertising - but if they find a person who has the problem their product can solve, then the ad is welcomed!

In my experience, many of us on HN have just disallowed FB & Google to really hone in on our needs and likes (ad blockers, disallowing cookies etc) so we see crap ads all the time. But many people I know don't do that, hence their ads are really about stuff they want to see and they don't mind the ads as much.

As an example, I now see many ads about new video games and new fine dining restaurants in my city. And I love that (compared to the other crap I often get). Because it lets me stay updated on new games and gives me inspiration on what I can cook.

So again, all ads are bad ads for everyone until they actually resonate with you - you might just haven't had one of those yet!
Slight quibble: that flex culture you and the parent discuss, embodied by going for 99s/200ms pre-skillcapes, definitely existed; you just weren't privy to it. Places like the tip.it forums were full of flex - remember those autogenerated stats signatures? - but that was its own little niche, not the dominant culture. You're probably right that social media amplified that dynamic a lot, but people like Zarfot and clans like DivinationX[0] were all about no xp waste well before that ethos hit the mainstream. It came from somewhere, rather than appearing fully formed from a seashell.

I think you both have good points around how a monoculture makes the game less rich and more theme-park-MMO-ish. I always felt that one of the things that helped it feel a bit more like a world simulator and a bit less like a game was the diversity of ways in which people interacted with the game. Wanna be the guy who only farms herbs? Knock yourself out, the game won't stop you and make you go save the world or whatever. When everyone has the same goal (which when I still played I thought of as the slayer-ironman industrial complex rather than no xp waste) you lose that and are back to the inherent absurdity of 50 million different Chosen Ones. It's just a little ironic that in a "no wrong way to play, do it for fun" kind of take you're calling out a wrong way to play.

I started with C++ and switched around the beginning, so there wasn't any "low level knowledge" nor above c++ beginner level concepts.

Both: high-to-low and low-to-high have some advantages, but it's not like one is always better than the other.

high-to-low allows you to write stuff earlier - like programs that do something useful, GUI, web, whatever.

but at the cost of understanding internals / under the hood.

The regeneration mode is to burn off accumulated particulates in a diesel particulate filter. This is why diesel cars typically need to be driven at motorway speeds regularly or have their DPF manually cleaned.

So, like, the author was trying to find C-level position... in Europe... by applying CV and pinging people on LinkedIn? And now complaining they couldn't get a job because of job market?

I've seen how European C-level hiring works, multiple times. Either there is a really good manager not from C-level who worked for multiple years, already has personal connections with the board or the owners, and they get promoted when opportunity arises. Or there is the guy someone on the board/owner knows, who is invited to the CEO position, and who, in turn, invites his previous colleagues to other C-level positions. Or maybe there is a fund, which owns multiple companies, and this fund moves someone from CEO of one company to the board of other company and vice versa.

The talent pool for C-level positions is huge, and the positions are scarce. Most of them are filled by networking. There is one-in-a-million chance one can kick the door with just a CV in such way. Especially with a CV of that quality.

So the article is wrong in multiple ways. Not only is "no-water hydropower" a contradiction in terms, but when you look into it, it is in fact using water. This is the status quo for science journalism, unfortunately.
Evidently a lot of people cheat the system somehow.
I don't think people will stop making music or podcasts because a tiny sliver of low effort content makes money. There is a cap on how many people can make money by uploading white noise since it's so generic. Plus for a lot of people the money isn't even the primary motivator behind their high effort/quality content.

Honestly, I'm very sorry that you've hard a horrible experience with this.

My sleep analysis itself was 2 days worth of data that the doctor reviewed. I came in .... the next day? Later on in the day of turning in my at-home test? I forget. Anyway.

My CPAP machine came in about a week later; and I had a full hour or so visit with the doctor as he described each individual step, and we tested out a TON of different masks. I had a follow up visit after ... not very long(?) where we reviewed a different couple of masks because the first one wasn't working. We had another officially scheduled meeting after like 3 months? And, now I see them every like 6 months (admittedly, I schedule these meetings), when one of the masks starts to get old, etc.

I recently bought a travel CPAP as well, because setting up the CPAP in multiple locations is an absolute pain; but even that was a painless process once I said I wanted it (and paid out of pocket because insurance only covers the big machine).

Then again, my sleep apnea is so bad that I would wake up every 1-2 hours at night (I actually use that power to take naps now, lol), and I was starting to fall asleep during everyday activities, so maybe I have better compliance out of the understanding of danger.
For anyone getting an emotional response and willing to blame climate change deniers, here's some dry government statistics on Canadian forest fires [0].

The number of fires over the past 4 decades is trending down. The numbers for area burned looks like each time there's a peak, it burns out enough fuel to make subsequent years easier. There were a couple of peaks in 1980s/1990s, but nothing that big recently.

Also, notably, the area burnt is lowest during recession years and COVID lockdown year. So when people could not afford to go camping/ATVing, the amount of fires was drastically less. Climate change probably does play some role here, but so does the 20% population increase in BC over the last 2 decades.

So, the correct question to ask is "what can we do as a reasonable trade-off to reduce the number of fires in the future without compromising the quality of life?". And the correct answer is "educate people on how to spot hazardous terrain and contain the fires they accidentally started". Requiring fire extinguishers at campsites/ATVs could help. Doing some training would help. Doing controlled burns would help. Renaming Environment Canada to "Environment and Climate Change Canada| and closing down local production in favor of Chinese imports won't.

There is aloooot of forest in Canada. You can properly manage some of it near populated places, but it is simply infeasible to directly or indirectly manage even most of it.
This is fair, where there are historically poorly managed forests. But a lot of socal that burns isn't forest at all, for example. Same in Eastern Oregon. Or Santa Rosa.

You never start a war to gain some bombed-to-shit factories or barren deserts, you start wars to gain control of valuable land with resources and more easily defensible borders, get control of lucrative trade routes, and gain workers(slaves) and natural resources for your own factories.

Of course, it's much easier and cheaper these days to use your intelligence services to stage a coup in that country so that your corporations can get their bananas for free, or, planting fake WMD intelligence at the UN so you can justify going in guns blazing and your corporations can make money through weapons sales, oil extraction, logistics and reconstruction on the back of taxpayers and the intelligence services by running heroin to fund their black ops.

I don't dislike Tailwind. I think it is a great tool if used correctly, but the majority of projects I've used it on, other devs eventually tend to overuse the @apply rule and end up just creating lots of custom classes. This literally defeats the entire purpose of Tailwind and I feel like that feature alone is what is most wrong about the library. If you're going to use their classes to write your own, you might as well write vanilla CSS. There's literally no upside to using Tailwind and it's actually a huge hindrance, as you now have to remember the rules of CSS plus all the Tailwind utility classes.
