Contranecdata: zero change. I am not motivated by numbers. On bad days I couldn't care less that the numbers are low, and it's good, otherwise it would add to the stress/depression that probably led to those in the first place.

I don't mind it too much because it can visually show memorable anomalies in near past (like here I was ill, here I moved, here I had a fun day of walking), but I really dislike those "ring" gamifications when it tells me when I reached 10k taking me out of flow and making me realize I walked a lot.

What worse, it taught me what 10k of steps feels like, which makes me measure where I am at during extended walks instead of being in the moment enjoying walking!

What I really want is those non critical activity stats to be hidden in real time and only be available for like a month ago and earlier. In its current incarnation it feels like it's aimed at people who consciously make themselves do things instead of enjoying them, it's not healthy...

of course trees are not a substitute for air conditioning. but, on a sunny day a street heavily shaded by trees is significantly cooler than the same street with no trees. this is true no matter how hot out it is

that's not to say that the heat under a trees' shade cannot still be oppressive. merely that shade matters, as the existence of two "RealFeel" measurements you shared indicates

"Efficient" as in energy efficient, human time efficient, or efficient at preventing mold/bacteria etc.?

I suspect it is more efficient at creating germ-free clean dishes, given the temperatures and steam that the wares are exposed to.

It might be slower than human time from stopwatch dirty dish to clean dish.

It might use more water than a hand washer who is very careful with water.

It almost certainly costs more to use a dishwasher. Capital, costs, electricity, repairs, tabs.

Why is it ridiculous for an intro-level course to not require people to manually compute integrals? I'm open to the idea that maybe I'm wrong about this being reasonable, but "I had to do it so everyone else should have to too" is not a very convincing argument.

To be clear, I had already placed out of the calculus course that would have taught how to evaluate these integrals, so I wouldn't have been disadvantaged by it being required. There definitely weren't any differential equations in the course though; it seems like you might be overestimating the intensity a 100-level physics course required for people like me who never did physics again after.

Batteries are already good enough for most light vehicle applications.

If you’re looking to tow a horse float long distances, or drive the Canning Stock Route[1] for fun, sure, current EVs are not going to meet your needs and things like solid state batteries will be helpful.

But this idea that current EV battery technology is somehow inadequate for most people is wrong and annoying.

Examples like these highlight just how incredibly poor the return on investment for working at startups is. Very few will ever reach a $500m exit. Generously assuming a 50% tax rate, $175k before tax, spread over 8 years is ~$44k/yr. As a founding engineer, you could likely find a similar job at FAANG/FAANG-adjacent companies paying 2-3x that in (liquid) stock per year.

Lifestyle arguments aside, startups seem like a _really_ bad deal.
Yup, a lot of people don't have realize it, but an engagement ring is a collateral to a commitment: you see no other men because we intend to marry and if I waste your time you're compensated for it with something valuable. Why anyone would use a diamond for something like this is beyond me.

Dowries upon marrying is an extension of this: if I abuse you and you have to leave me you can afford to live your life with this thing I gave you.

Assume that's a typo and you mean decades. Kaiser dates back to the interwar period and the modern version of it to the 70s/80s.

> For the majority it seems like it's a cheap but very rigid option (especially compared to PPOs).

I don't think it's cheaper on the monthly premium level, at least for me it's always listed as the more expensive option to choose from. If you end up using significant healthcare services it's probably cheaper than most PPO plans.

> People either hate it or love it because it is quite rigid in how it works (and you have to go specifically to their facilities).

I've noticed that too in my friend group. I've heard good things and the rare case that gets sent in to my academic hospital comes with a chart that suggests Kaiser is providing high quality care (in the Bay Area at least).

The rigidity is very annoying though, for example I wouldn't be able to get care at the hospital I work at if I went with Kaiser. Conceptually I like the idea of HMOs, seems less wasteful while still good quality.

I wager these journalists don't know what they're talking about, as usual.

Unless a data center were poorly-designed to utilize municipal potable water directly as a substitute for a co-gen chilled water plant or were using evaporative cooling on a large scale, then the water is either used for heat pump cooling (thermal gradient) or as input feed for co-gen plant chilled water supply (in-lieu of individual inefficient HVAC units) using non-potable fresh water, where possible. Chilled water is then routed to datacenter galleries where they cool air using heat exchangers.

The water isn't destroyed, it's run through the system. It's remains fresh water usable downstream for filtration into potable water, just possibly a bit warmer than it was and maybe containing very dilute, biodegradable disinfectants to prevent Legionnaires' and n. fowleri.

Example source: https://www.greenbiz.com/article/sip-or-guzzle-heres-how-goo...

Most of the water "consumed" isn't potable, it's river water. The water that is potable either comes from a municipal source or is purified on-site. Google claims they are aim to be net positive water, returning more than "consumed".
This seems to presuppose the “inevitable conclusion” is true.

I don't have quiet this level of story but have had a number of experiences with Sales type people that are able to talk the talk and with confidence thus fooling me into assuming they knew what they were doing.

I was a SysEng back about 20 years ago and was getting a bit salty working there. It was a lot of Solaris, PG, Java and Perl. (I mention this just for personality context.) I worked closely with two specific dev teams and one day the manager of one of the dev teams mentioned a Sales Analyst type was unable to upload reports for a specific customer and would I mind looking at it. I had no idea what this person did, nor his business purpose but the guy had a cygwin terminal up and was remarkably tech coherent. I despised business types but clearly this guy had 'the right stuff' and thus I agreed to help. The issue was something like he couldn't upload files to the customer's FTPS server and I confirmed that was true. I then spent the next 2 full days learning the complicated FTPS protocols, checking firewall rules, checking PAM/LDAP perms on the prod host, on and on. I even nmap scanned the customer's server. He swore the customer used FTPS. It was Adobe so I didn't question this strange protocol choice. Finally I asked him to show me how he normally did it assuming he was a cli wiz. Nope. Cygwin had been installed by a dev trying to help, who had also told him FTPS stuff, and he'd just been parroting back everything. I was so annoyed and betrayed by this idiot I couldn't speak and it was clear he knew it: his face went red, he looked at the floor, and after a few moments he stood up and just walked away.

Solving the tech issue wasn't the way to a solution. This person's answers simply reflected my questions and how I phrased them, and everything was filtered through my assumptions. I'm sure my attitude made things so much worse. I didn't chill out overnight but it was the beginning and I became very aware of the people element when working an issue. And be nice to Tech Support.
> Please keep conspiracy theories out of your argument

It's not a conspiracy theory. You will find plenty of scientists who participated in the IPCC process and were disillusioned by it saying the same thing. I'm simply explaining why I don't accept the IPCC reports as scientific gospel the way you do. We obviously aren't going to reach agreement on that here.

That said, as I have already pointed out, you're not even correctly describing what the IPCC reports say:

> Humans adapt, but those adaptions are often deadly

What I quoted from the IPCC says nothing about these "deadly" adaptations. It describes humans adapting through the ordinary peaceful processes of life and economics.

> Humans can adapt in decades, ecosystems need millenia to adapt, and humans are dependent on their environment.

Humans adapted to the warming at the end of the Younger Dryas, which was a much larger change than what is expected to occur to us by 2100 and was on the same time scale (about a century), with Stone Age technology. The idea that we cannot adapt to this much smaller change with 21st century technology without suffering a catastrophe is laughable. And if the world would expect a fraction as much effort on actually helping to adapt as it spends on wringing its hands about impending catastrophe, the adaptation would be even easier. The 20th century saw massive restructuring of the economies of the world due to two World Wars, continuing industrialization, computers, and the Internet. Adapting to climate change in the 21st century should be a no brainer.
Yeah I am a big fan of giant tank water heaters. You can even set them up to run at the time of day when energy costs are lowest, if you have variable pricing, and the hot water will stay hot for a day or two unless you use a lot. Often energy prices will be lowest on the weekend which works great if you time your laundry cycles on those days!
Again, what do you mean by "efficient"? I value my time over anything else, so for me handwashing is not efficient at all, unless it takes shorter than loading and unloading the machine.

My conclusion was that if you're young/healthy, HMO vs PPO may not matter as much. That said, I went with a PPO because in my case: (1) it's faster to see a specialist, since a referral is not required; and (2) in my area, it has vastly more in-network doctors who are highly-rated.

One gotcha I've run into is that most plans (both HMO & PPO) are only valid in a single US state. The one exception is "emergencies," but when I asked it seems this is basically only the ER (and I was told only if it turns out it's actually an emergency, whatever that means).

I believe you can get out-of-state covered via out-of-network. But as mentioned, the out-of-pocket max on my plan is shockingly ~6x more for out-of-network than in-network. So you won't pay 90% of $200k, but it will still end up a very substantial amount. But maybe that could still be worth it to see an out-of-state specialist?

The meaning of the line is pretty clear? It is a rhetorical flourish not to be meant taken literally. The author obviously just means "now they are widespread".

> P.S. What's up with kWh/year anyway?

I think that now DOE appliance standards, for all appliances, are now in annual consumption terms. They used to use different terms for different appliances that could convert to annual consumption (e.g., for dishwashers, it was "Energy Factor", which was cycles per kWh.)

> Surely it should be kWh per cycle with an added restriction on additional power used when not running.

That would be strictly more complicated, though I don't think passive draw is a big things for dishwashers.

The C++ versions are the ones that have been in 'production', so to speak, for a couple decades now.

> why code that had been dead for 8-years was still present in the code base is a mystery, but that’s not the point

This seems to be exactly the point! For 8 years they left unused code in place, seemingly only bothering to remove it because they wanted to repurpose a flag. If they'd done the right thing 8 years prior and removed code they weren't using, this story plays out very differently. No ancient routines get resurrected, no rogue server.

Maybe Knight Capital wasn't using version control and held onto this code "just in case", but I've seen this same resistance to deleting code in programmers working in repos that are completely under VCS, and it's flabbergasting. If you need it again, you can always bring it back from version control. If you need it again but forget it's there, you'd do the same with the dead code path. Leaving it in the source tree is pure liability.

EDIT: Kevlin Henney gave an excellent talk at GOTO about software reliability and he touches on this, using Knight Capital as the example—he actually cites this very blog post [0]. The whole talk is excellent, but I've linked the three minutes where he talks about Knight Capital.

> The problem is there is no code that is truly dead. It turns out all you need to do is make a small assumption, a change of an assumption and then suddenly it's no longer dead, it's zombie code. It has come back to life and the zombie apocalypse costs money.

There is EM induction happening in the stator coils, but it is not substantial to how the motor effect comes about. This effect is due to magnetic force of the coil poles acting on the permanent magnets, no induction is needed to create this effect (thus it exists even when instantaneously, EM induction in any one coil is zero).

I really like Blank's idea of a profound belief -- a vision of the future tempered with constant checks against evidence.

Technically, a flag re-use was the most impactful error, code wise.

A flag of such importance should not be just on/off; the ON should require a positive response / receipt containing the name and version of the code being turned on.

Listen. No matter how you cut it, the system doesn't want you to be healthy. It starts with the fact that there's no - or at least significantly less - profit in prevention, and then it's all down hill from there.

This new epidemic of extreme heat represents one of the gravest threats to humanity, scientists say, but it won’t affect the world in a uniform way. While certain parts of rich countries will see a surge in days, most of the danger will come in poor countries in already hot regions such as South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa that lack widespread air conditioning and other advantages like advanced health-care systems.

On the upside, what you really need is cultural adaptation, like siestas in Mexico. And some of this places may be better positioned to pursue that than a lot of wealthier countries where some people can't solve anything if throwing money at it doesn't resolve it in short order.
