If you record your thermometer readings over decades and average with other rural points across the globe you’ll see the same trend. This is not hypothetical either, we have this from looking at rural airports data for example - all publicly available and you can run the numbers yourself. Unless you think all people who set up thermometers at these airports are incompetent in exactly the same direction all over the world somehow.

Having a separate wordlist does seem like a pretty good plan, but if there's only a single bit per word, then you only have 50% chance of catching a single word swap, as opposed to something like a 4 bit CRC which should catch close to 15 out of 16 errors.

The world does not care about humans and will be okay without us trying to micromanage.

The Romans had a long stretch of expansive rule, though it was not highly authoritarian. Klaus Schwab's marxist ideas will fail, and it will be an exiting decade until political upheaval (maybe ~2032).
> have started the process of working 4 days a week in 2 companies, a big (unicorn) one that is part of NYSE, and a small one of less than 20 employees. This works on all scales (not guaranteed it works with all companies).

Don't take it as whataboutism, but many companies love adding clauses to engineers contracts that forbid them from working for other companies or starting their own business. In some cases they will also claim intellectual rights on all your creative output "while you are working for them". In my case even contributing to some Github repo could get me in trouble if my employer thinks a competitor is benefiting from it.

On the other hand, as someone who suffers from similar physical pain, a 4 day week would boost my quality of life significantly. So it's something I am looking forward to at my next job.
It's not clear if that's revenue or profit. Due to that intentional ambiguity I had to presume the latter.
Predominantly political or ideological sites tend to be banned, regardless of which flavor they favor.

Major media sites and journal sites that have a mix of political/ideological content, current affairs, and the occasionally intellectually interesting article, are downweighted but not banned—precisely because we want that occasionally interesting article.

Beyond that, the answer to your question is just plain "randomness". The answer to most questions.

you obviously dont. Call dispatch and ask what is the procedure for someone tripping on lysergamides - or google it.

A threshold, therapeutic, medically-incentivized safe dose of .5mg of any -zolam will categorically improve one's mood when administered in a safe and relaxing setting - which is the most paramount contributing factor to a positive experience with these substances.

unless the setting is further provoked - many people get angry on -zolams, - in which case, the point is moot; you shouldn't be trying to probe the elves on "bad day" anyhow.

No one is gonna rage-hit DMT and do anything, but rage-eating "organic natural mushrooms" is how idiots jump out of windows.
Yeah, not that I perceive it to be an assumption that is entirely illogical, but why is smooth movement supposed to consume more power? I can understand that jumping less often conserves power but the power hierarchy should be more ticks > less ticks > no ticks, if we ignore potential increased frictions at lower angular velocity as well as challenges of resisting disturbances.
This is how I do it:

What you need: A big paper tissue, ink bottle, pen, a sheet of paper.

Step 1: Make sure that your bottle's bore/lip is clean. Dip your pen just enough to cover feed, plus a little of the section (grip). Twist to empty, twist to fill. If there's too much air, repeat a couple times.

Step 2: Raise your pen, but do not remove from the bottle. Twist your piston to drip 4-5 drops of ink back to bottle. This is the amount which saturates your feed. Twist to fill in air, to suck some air, and the excess ink in the feed.

Step 3: Wait a couple of seconds to wait for any other drip, remove your pen from the bottle, wipe the feed, sides of the nib and section. Re-wipe with a damp cloth if you wish. Scribble a little on your paper, you're done.

Be careful while wiping the feed in step 3. There'll be some ink and it may transfer from your tissue to your finger.

If your pen dries very quickly, it might not be good sealer and may need frequent use to ensure to use all the ink inside before drying out. If you can share the make/model, I might be able to point to you to right way.

For me, A Lamy cartridge (or a converter fitted Lamy) lasts around two weeks if I use it every day, even more if I don't. I generally refill my pens when the ink drops below a certain level since more air means faster dry out inside the pen, and make it more prone to "burping".

Enjoy your ink and pen.

> Well the real answer is to reduce consumption. It can and should be done without sacrificing comfort.

Comfort Or reducing their standard of living. Remember for most people in the world this they will keep consuming to get to *a* standard and will not care until they get there. One can say that the average person in a sub saharan african country X consumes 1/10th or 1/50th of the carbon that an american does. But unless N generations of X don't rise well above the poverty line they will continue to emit and it will add up by 2100 or 2200.

You don't even have to go to sub saharan africa. I believe there is non negligible double digit percentage of this country that is on the "edge" when it comes to many important living factors like Health, Education and Childcare Cost. Any of which when breached make one not care about reducing consumption.

Humans have always lived around danger; and now, for as long as anyone can remember, cars have been possibly the most significant source danger while also being integral in modern life. I would argue reacting to new problems is the rational thing to do.

Sure, cars are dangerous, but they enable a social structure that is far safer than what we had(hospitals, specialized surgeons, first responders, advanced pharmaceuticals, etc) to say nothing of productivity.

In my armchair opinion, this is a bad name. Most of my clients and non technical friends refer to it incorrectly every time. Funniest I’ve heard them say is “strip”

I think it’s because it’s too short, simple, and one word. It doesn’t really sink in with any visual. A stripe is a thing but I think it’s too abstract.

Good names: Wix, PayPal, google, Venmo, Microsoft

Bad names: quora, redis, and palantir (unrelated but hard to pronounce), apple (they are unique in that they commandeered a common word but did really well with the logo and brand. Arguably one of the best brand creations of all time because they went against the odds), hinge.

"has gotten" implies this is something new and not a decades long quality of Microsoft operating systems
I'm curious on what the value of a frontend would actually be on this kind of project and where it is in the engineering lifecycle. I've worked in the same space on instrument control software (microfluidics, synthetic biology) and I feel like what you would gain for, as an example, putting a slider on a flow rate is of minimal use to the development of the instrument, especially in an ad-hoc iterative environment.

The engineer who is writing this software and building the system in tandem will be able to express most of their experimental/engineering needs via a CLI tool and something that visualizes instrument state and sensor readings. For example, I've gotten quite a bit of mileage out of throwing Grafana as a graphing interface and then using ipython to essentially have a REPL to control logical subsystems, such as a pump or a motor. This allows you to interrogate the empirical limits of your system without having to spend time centering divs or caring about button placement.

This is only true if the engineer is the intended end user of the system. As you scale out and include other disciplines in the project you do have to consider the user interface as the window into the instrument.

I've played with the automatic GUI element generation from parsing the underlying control code before. I think its a fun bit of meta problem solving, but I've always ended up in a corner that requires some sort of bespoke tool or widget to solve a tricky problem arising from the scientific domain. I think you might be fine if all you are doing is controlling a syringe pump or similar, but as the experimental needs become complicated you'll end up re-writing the control interface as a deliberate experience and toolbox.
I think S3 is too slow to put in your control plane’s critical path; better to use something like Redis.
> Don't take it as whataboutism, but many companies love adding clauses to engineers contracts that forbid them from working for other companies or starting their own business.

That is true, and I actually have a friend that renegotiated that with their employer and removed that clause from his contract because he wanted to do consulting work outside his working hours. Sometimes it is as easy as asking, sometimes it is not possible.

It is a major change in terms of life quality, even more if you use the extra free time to explore hobbies that add physical activity to your life. I tried climbing/bouldering and loved. Now I also go to the gym for lifting.

Also you don't need to wait for moving to a next job to negotiate 4 days work week. Just a reminder :)

I agree with you. Debt is a terrible master, but can be a wonderful servant and I wouldn’t be as financially successful as I am without leverage. And that’s not a wealth empire - just a regular family geared into real estate.

Of course, the “ZIRP” zero interest rate environment that predominated the 10 years since this article was written has been a historical anomaly. Though perhaps part of a longer trend, investors must be cautious not to view the benefits of recent leverage as evidence of easy future gains.

But if there was one thing that differentiates our financial position from our less-financially-free friends, it would be our comfort with debt as part of a well-developed investment strategy.

Ask HN: ShakespeareGPT
I’m considering to undertake a project where I have Claude rewrite Shakespeare plays as modern novels while trying to adhere as strictly as possible to all other event elements and offering this free through self publishing mediums. Does this seem like a worthwhile endeavor and would anyone be interested in collaborating by reviewing or editing?

Key Features:

Updated Language: Navigate the stories with modern diction while preserving the depth and essence of the original text while using a modern narrative forms rather than play.

Contemporary Settings: Visualize the plays in today's world, from bustling urban landscapes to the intricacies of digital communication.

Diverse Characters: Experience the plays through a cast that resonates with today's globalized and diverse society.
I have made this mistake more the once as I actually like working with people and helping them level up. Something I do now is make sure that if I am being hired as a developer of some sort, the metrics of success outlined clearly in my offer letter also include giving mentorship. It’s measurability usually revolves around peer reviews and how much others value my help. I have been accused of gaming my performance metrics because I would literally be helping people until they are able to tackle the problem independently. Which, I don’t know, sounds like a job well done to me.

Rationally speaking the NIMBYs and pro-transit urbanists should not be the same people but people often hold absurdly contradictory views. I recall meeting people in California who were anti-development and wanted California to be a “sanctuary state” for immigrants and LGBTQ people who feel unwelcome elsewhere. So where will they live? Usually a complicated answer that boiled down to “not next to me.”

The suburbs probably can’t be as efficient as dense cities but they can be improved. The gap is also not as huge as you might think. A lot of a person’s footprint is in the food they eat and the stuff they buy not their house. People in cities still eat and buy things.

I agree that degrowth won’t work out well in any currently understood political system for numerous reasons. The “continued growth is impossible” argument is built on the fallacy that growth must equal increased resource use when in advanced economies these have been decoupling for a while.

The real limits to growth probably relate to the physical limits on the information density of mass-energy. How much value can exist per unit of “stuff?” Then there are things like space flight but I’m not even sure you have to go there.

I don't think so, it's too idealistic in todays world, even if we eliminate all form of material capital - art I think will only increase in value as it will become more valuable and competitive for us.

I think a better solution as of right now is a redefinition of copyright, that copyright is handled primary by a agency like the Copyright Office that deals with registration and licensing of said copyright work.

And copyright itself would be granted to the individuals who created said creative work (we would probably need to make clear distinctions between say creative art and more "logical" things like code) and they would be payed loyalty for each type of license the copyright office would issue (license for private use, in a 1 time production, continuous and lifetime license).

Companies could sponsor said creative work and get a free lifetime license.

Obviously I'm not a lawyer but I believe something like this, where copyright is as rigid in protection towards the original creators and allows for a much more fluid exchange of information depending on circumstance is at least a step in the right direction.
