> Consequently, more radiocarbon is packed into a single growth ring, and scientists can determine the exact year that ring was built. They can then count to the outer ring of the tree to know the year that it died.

The article somewhat confused the details. To determine the exact year the ring was built (and subsequently year the tree died) scientists look at the growth pattern of the surrounding rings and compare them with a reference data set of ring width of the same tree species in the same (wider) area. This works even if the outer ring is not present. The outer ring is only relevant if we want to determine the exact year a tree had been cut down, which is important for archaeology but not to establish the date of the Miyake event in the first place.

> ... providing definitive evidence that the Vikings beat Columbus to North America.

> ... The researchers speculated that the settlement was built sometime near the end of the first millennium

This was no "speculation", but has already been established as a fact for decades with the excavation of the settlement of L’Anse aux Meadows itself in the early 1960s. Tree ring dating only helped to identify the specific date of the settlement in the already established time frame, because the only fitting Miyake event was that of 992/993. (The article mentions this, but the chain of reasoning is not really accurate.)

The problem with determining the exact date of the settlement without the reference to the Miyake event was that we do not have a reference record for the tree rings at this site, as this requires an uninterrupted record of overlapping trees from the present back to the Viking Age for these particular timber species in the area.

This could perhaps been established with a lot of effort over the years, but with the Miyake events we have indeed a very interesting method to compile reference records even without a complete reference record to the present. However, it still remains uncertain, for example, to which Miyake event a particular piece of wood should be attributed without much context, whether we already know all the Miyake events of the last couple of millennia, and whether another, more local event could have led to a carbon-14 value that could be confused with a global Miyake event.
Starting in 2024 airlines will also need to pay to get carbon emission permits.

It's quite common in the UK for washers/dryers to have a delay feature.

Mine (an LG model) has a "Delay End" function, where you say "I want the cycle to end in 9 hours", and it calculates when to start based on that.
You sure about that. I was reading only yesterday (can't find the link - sorry) about how little each extra feature is used - that the vast majority of value & use is in the core.

I see the other way around. Additional features are people's special cases and hobby-horses, and unlikely to be used by other people. BUT each new feature/interface/etc adds the potential for (and really of) more bugs.

Perhaps it should be "features are where the security holes are"? :)

The Israel lobby is incredibly powerful and well funded. They have a lot of money to throw around, much of which they throw at the US Government, which is consequently filled with their supporters. US companies know this and tread carefully.

They've weaponized anti-semitism against their detractors. And, who wants to be accused of racism? Even false accusations stain your reputation.

The irony is that it's probably one of the most racist countries I've ever seen in my entire life. They made a shrine to a terrorist (Baruch Goldstein). The president proudly called miscegenation "a tragedy". If you can imagine a white US president openly calling for whites and blacks to stop having babies - that's the level of racism this state's supporters endorse when weaponizing anti semitism.

Because they don't make it for you, but for everybody. And security is important for others too. If your account gets pwned, it can be used to spread malware, or to facilitate shady behavior that can't be tracked to the real culprits.

If there was such an option, people would disable it without knowing the risks for "convenience", and then cry and blame GH when their accounts are taken.

American dishwashers hook up to the hot water line, vs the cold water line in some other countries. They do have their own heaters, but household models are limited to 1200-1800 watts.

The pre-wash/pre-rinse cycle may only give enough time to raise the temperature 10-15 °F before the regular wash cycle starts. I do not believe they will delay the start of the wash cycle due to the water not yet being to target.

Starting with cold water reduces the effectiveness of the initial rinse, and may reduce effectiveness or prolong the wash cycle.
I am uncertain that more nuclear weapons in the hands of more groups will ultimately lead to more safety. While I understand the desire for self defense and MAD, it only takes the dissolving of one nation into a radical group with a truly unhinged leader to then have the power to wipe millions of the face of the earth. Rolling more dice seems like it makes nuclear apocalypse more likely.

Tbf I think it was quite common, because our friend group did the same (in NZ, where we have only ever had 1 school shooting, ever).

It definitely has something do with:

It would be interesting to research the psychological reasons why making a space like that as a map is so appealing!

Oh, they did respond, they just wrote that they don't give a damn. I guess they care now. As I remember this was way before the Microsoft acquisition though, so there is that.
It's possible to build shielded (up to a certain point of course) electronics and power grids, it's just a lot of work and money. Ideally, all new devices, grid lines, transformers should be made with at least some level of protection from those events.

Fair points, but I sense a discrepancy. If multinationals are leaving X in droves, why wouldn't they leave it in Asia?
I found that even the distance computer on my bicycle was not producing actionable data - only anxiety.

Nowadays, I consider non-actionable data as a cost. If it is entertainment, then that is luxury for which I accept the cost. Otherwise, I cut it.

I used to love fancy dashboards with everything and extra cheese - not anymore: I try to understand what is input to my actions and what is blinkenlights.

With no distance computer on my bicycle, I feel free: I cycle daily wherever I fancy and the numbers don't matter ! I still consider distance at the planning stage but, once I'm on the road I don't want to think about it.

I have investigated use of agents for real support agent type work and the rate of failure made it unacceptable for my use case. This is even after giving it very explicit and finely tuned context.

I suspect that if engineering of LLM solutions utilizes unseen testing data more, it's going to become apparent that it really does not have sufficiently reliable "cognitive" ability to do any practical agent type work.
> Additionally, there are features such as Protected Audience that can serve you ads for “remarketing” (for example, Chrome tracked you visiting a listing for a toaster, so now you will get ads for toasters elsewhere), and Attribution Reporting, that gathers data on ad clicks.

That's a very developer-centric point of view. Elegance and simplicity are great, but if a program is missing crucial features, it becomes less useful or even useless for users. Like it or not, but the vast majority of software is written for the benefit of its users, not that of its developers.
This is going to sound really obvious, but you can only make analogies with things you know. Or better yet, something known and understood by the people around you.

I'm sure there are some subtleties in chariots being pulled by two horses that I'm not aware of, and so Plato's analogy doesn't work for me.

I honestly thought a second bash wouldn't help, but it's worth a crack. I'll give it a go.
Probably because it's pretty new. React Native needs to start a JavaScript runtime before it can evaluate its JavaScript code, which is what the application logic is written in, and JS engines are typically not designed to prioritize time-to-interactive metrics and disk usage.

Hermes is meant to address some of those concerns and this is probably the next step towards improving those metrics.
> Is there something in the awk script that makes it advantageous over a shell script?

Pseudo multi-dimensional associative arrays for representing the dependency graph of make. This part:

for (i = 2; i <= NF; i++)
slist[nm, ++scnt[nm]] = $i

The way awk supports them is hacky and not really a multidimensional array, but still is better than what you would have to do with bash, because of split() and some other language features.

It would be much easier with any scripting language though, Perl for example.

This is the worst answer. Office for Mac is horrible compared to the same for Windows, as is plenty of other very common software - if it runs on Mac at all. It's also much worse to administer from an enterprise perspective, so it's probably not supported by the wife's IT team, and if it is it probably would have some horrible software on it that makes it unusable.

Just checking Amazon, most popular local (230V) kettles are 2200W, with some 2400W options. Checking Costco, US kettles are 1500W. Assuming equal efficiency, the European kettle takes between 62% and 68% the time it takes a US kettle to boil the same water

Of course equal efficiency isn't necessarily a given. The insulation and the design of the heating element can have a notable impact on heating time. And for small amounts it likely doesn't matter that much. But assuming equal construction it is still a very notable difference.
Before MS acquisition, they were a small player. The GitHub education pack was much smaller in terms of what it offers than today.

Moderation really varies a lot depending both on the language and the group being criticized.

For example on twitch, Spanish streamers[1] say a lot of things that would get an English streamer canceled and/or banned for saying it. And for other languages I'm sure the gap is even bigger.

The same with the group being criticized. Criticism against Russians is not moderated the same way as criticism against Jewish people.

To be clear I'm not in favor of hate speech, I'm just pointing out that moderation isn't 100% equal.

[1] I mean the language of the stream, not the nationality of the streamer

It's a deep political tie with a complex past. Here's decent book on the subject: https://academic.oup.com/book/7112 The Wikipedia article on "Christian Zionism" may also shed some light.

The UK uses about 15 million tonnes of cement each year https://www.statista.com/statistics/476761/cement-consumptio...

This concrete recipe uses up to 20% weight of coffee per weight of cement, so if all concrete used this recipe the UK would need 3 million tonnes of dried spent coffee grounds per year.

The UK population is about 60 million, so each person would need to produce about 140g used grounds each day. Assuming the dried spent grounds are about the same weight as the fresh grounds that went into the coffee, that’s enough for more than 2 litres of coffee per person each day.

> They made a shrine to a terrorist (Baruch Goldstein)

Not sure what you're talking about here. Baruch Goldstein has no "shrine"* and besides fringe groups in Israel he is generally not accepted. Compare that with the monthly salaries Palestinian terrorists receive from the PLO and their rockstar status in Palestinian society.

* he has a grave, Israeli law can't really prevent that. The Israeli government has ruined most of the site of his grave despite his family's appeals.

If you're talking about (e)BPF, the (extended) Berkeley Packet Filter, the easiest way to think about it is like a tiny virtual machine running inside the kernel, which can execute "simple" commands that would otherwise be very slow or very complex from within userspace. The traditional example would be counting the number of packets being sent out by a network interface. But it turns out that eBPF is massively more general purpose than that, allowing people to develop all kinds of monitoring applications.
Meh.. while corporate landlord's may be more willing to leave a place empty, it doesn't take long for that to be a losing proposition.

With the exception of a few US cities with rent control so strict you practically can't increase rent by more than a very small amount (San Francisco), most cities, even those with rent control allow for single digit percentage increases that can allow you to adjust rent over a relatively short period.

If you refuse to drop rent by 5%, all it takes is 1 month of an empty unit to exceed the loss from taking a 5% lower rent for one and a half years.

Add on top that nobody can predict the future including when rents will go back up, leaving units empty is a terrible financial decision.

That said, it places with ridiculous rent control where evicting a tenant is almost impossible except the most extreme circumstances, I could see where it makes more sense, especially if a landlord is looking to sell as empty units are worth a substantial amount more than occupied units.
