I have Paperless watching a network folder from my NAS. The scanner scans directly into that folder and Paperless picks it up and processes it within a couple seconds. Even if Paperless went down for a bit (which happened before I upgraded my server), the files remain on the shared drive until it comes back online.

Without that, I had paper piling up waiting to be scanned.

The main point of iron fertilization is to make plankton and other organisms grow in the ocean so that some will sink to the bottom and capture carbon that way, not so much promote reflection. Seeding the atmosphere with sulfur is one approach to that, cloud brightening another.

One unintended consequence of iron fertilization could be the promotion of growth of toxic plankton that add neurotoxins to the food chain (e.g. “Red Tide”) but that’s not the only one.

Another interesting aspect of this is that the UN Law of Sea forbids this. Most countries with a coastline are signatories with the notable exception of the US:

Notably if you were trying to do this, most countries, like Japan or Australia, could refuse the use of their ports.

Ask HN: Is there a part within you rooting against self-driving tech?
I couldn't help but notice it within me, and it grew over the years.

As humans the physical world is OUR world, OUR element, OUR domain of expertise.

We have earned that right over millions of years of painful trial and error, where error meant death and inability to reproduce and pass genes.

The right and the privilege to put our bodies on the line on the pursuit of riding out and dominating the natural elements around us.

Driving (and riding) is a special feeling, you give it an input and a 6000lbs vehicle immediately responds and reacts to your input in exactly the way you want . We have earned the right to feel such feelings.

If self-driving tech becomes viable we'll become as useless and redundant as fighter jets pilots in the era of drones, and that is unacceptable.
Looks like we're in the 'blaming suppliers for being greedy' stage of inflation. Haven't seen that one before.
You won't need to track them if they're always indoors. Please keep your feline friends indoors. Cats are horrible for local lizard and bird populations.
Those terms are very confusing - to me orign would be the SENDER ... where the message ORIGNates from ...

But yes, those are common scenarios, and most services that offer calling a webhook have retries baked in for such things. It is the responsibility of the consumer to verify if they have already received a message or not.

You should not be consuming a webhook 'live' and attempting to work on it the moment you receive it - that way lies dragons!

I have dedicated endpoints for services to send to, and they are verified and consumed as quickly as possible and put into a queue to be processed after. That way I can at least see what was sent, and if we missed something.
I thought flexon was just very springy metal, not nitinol. Nitinol is not very rigid, it bends easily. And even though it snaps back when heated, it's not perfect -- I've got a few toys made of the stuff and after a while they get damaged and don't return perfectly to the original shape.
But should the price come down over time?
Geeze that's $200 more than I paid for my entire bike. I ride through the very shitty streets of New Orleans on a regular basis without any worry about punctures thanks to spending a whole $30 on a pack of Mr. Tuffy tire liners. I expect Falkor to be stolen long before this would be worth putting on him - and really, flashy tires would probably make him a more inviting theft target.

I'd check them out if they start making enough for them to drop to like maybe a hundred.
So not like the space tire. Noted.
It’s not just about being able to live on savings. When you come from a poorer community you can’t really afford to take on an expensive education and mediocre pay, because the outcome of that expensive education generally requires you also support your parents/family that helped you get there.

But moreover yeah, richer families can do more outdoorish activities like mountaineering and that feeds back into the loop of even being interested in something like this.
That theory only works if people are morons who can't anticipate long expected (price) developments.

Yeah I’m guessing there must be a law about putting the unit prices already or else why would they even have them, so it seems an update might be useful.

I haven't read the article but if they are referring to https://microprofile.io/ then it's a sensible choice. But if you're going down that route I would recommend something like Micronaut/Quarkus/Helidon/etc with native image compilation. Spring does native image compilation now too, but I personally would lean towards more the more lightweight frameworks
My mindset is stuck in 2008 so you're probably right
Auditing AI: How Much Access Is Needed to Audit an AI System?
I learned this a long time ago when talking with some of my appliance repair friends. Lots of washers break because they're gummed up with excess soap.

I've been running my loads at 1/4 or less of the soap recommended by the manufacturer for years and years and I've never had any issues out of my washer, mechanical or clean wise. Once or twice a year, something will need a second wash or spot treatment, but otherwise everything is pristine.
Well yes, but that's because Spring is built on top of Java Servlets.

I wonder if other Java frameworks have a different approach to serve web content without the need of servlets.
There are multiple reasons why an EULA may be viewed as unenforceable in the EU due to unfair terms: https://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/consumers/unfair-treat...

Yes, this is the correct answer.

The Gibbs formulation of 3D vector analysis/calculus was certainly useful, but forgets most of the spatial structure. Using Clifford Algebra (Geometric Algebra) fixes everything.

But seriously, this just doesn't add up. I could see the company folding once they realize that they were dependent on the tribal knowledge of those leaving, but claiming to not get any applications is absurd.
I guess all people in power must be dumb because every county has laws against grifting necessary essentials in a natural disaster.

It’s possible your point does apply to normal price shifts when supply for something like electronics becomes constrained but right now your example detracts from understanding that.
I'm personally partial to CBT. Burns' Feeling Great and Feeling Good are classics that have shown to be effective in research. Once you build familiarity with the concepts through those kinds of explanatory resources, individual exercises like those published by UW at https://depts.washington.edu/uwhatc/cbt-notebook/ can be done in a self-guided manner.
Do not buy into that narrative. This inflationary process has been mostly driven by monetary policy. Margin increases are the result of businesses trying to navigate an inflationary period. These margin increases are not resulting in increased profits across the board (there are some notable exceptions). For example, Carrefour's profits in 2022 were about the same as in 2019. [1]

From the article you linked: "Profits (adjusted for inflation) were about 1 percent above their pre-pandemic level in the first quarter of this year."

Exactly. School is about teaching and books+pen+paper is perfectly adequate for most things that they teach in elementary school.

What do you even lose by not having a laptop per child? Most of us suck at using software. Well, correction: most software sucks to use. And when has someone like an elementary teacher made a child better at using a computer..? It feels like a joke just asking that question.

And unless Bret Victor (or someone like him) has revolutionized digital teaching I'll bet that modern digital teaching is not categorically differen than the old ways (pdfs?).
TikTok is not stabbing anyone just for being a social media platform for kids older than 12. These "kids" are teenagers and young adults. That's nothing even close to stabbing someone. If social media is so bad, that these "kids" shouldn't be using it, then either social media should be banned, or "kids" shouldn't have a smartphone!

You can already shop at Aldi if you like things to come in standardised sizes.

(I love Aldi! But I think such regulation would be pretty silly. But we already have such regulation in many parts of the world for many goods. Eg publ in the UK can't just sell you 500ml of beer, they need to give you a pint.)
There's a common complaint I see across many local housing discussions, which goes something like: "We need affordable housing, but we shouldn't build to become <nearest metro>!" and of course the shorter "We're full!". But that then ignores the fact that the United States doesn't have internal movement controls. If somebody wants to move to a city, they can. The richest / most motivated group of those people will purchase housing until the housing is gone. In extremes this means knocking down old housing stock and rebuilding new (but not new density), or massive gut & remodels.

Assuming the city is desirable enough (ie. a mountain town). You get this, and you must choose two:

* Allow people to move into your city (Must choose this one).

* More units / Affordable Units

* Keep city 'character' by avoiding density.

Some places choose character. Much of the Bay Area for instance, with 1.5 million dollar single family homes, and not one apartment as far as the eye can see. And others choose to build lots of units, although it's hard to find examples in the US. Tokyo is the one that comes to mind. Many people in Japan wants to move to Tokyo, and they build tons and tons of apartments to support that. The character of course was already big city, but it's grown into mega-mega city.
> Also, since SAP as a company isn't handling any of that data, SAP isn't really affected.

I am not sure that is completely correct, considering SAP's cloud offerings.
Define it then in terms of "10 years or an X amount of revenue generated, whichever is achieved later" where X is defined in terms of the country's economic performance.

How long ago was that? All the ski towns are now filled with signs saying overnight parking is prohibited. I'm sure you can still find spots if you're in the know but if they ever get popular, they'll be quickly shut down.
Basic economics say that given a certain price, you get a certain demand. And if the price rises, then demand goes down. Consumers don't blindly pay more for things when their prices go up.
Sadly not...

> The "EU and America" didn't assassinate Gaddafi.

Of-course they did! If you recall, there was even an offer made by Gadaffi and his sons for holding elections and a step-down if he lost. They even agreed to international observers for elections!

Every single concession was rejected by NATO as a "ploy". They wanted Gaddaffi dead.

Got the article: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2011/6/16/gaddafi-son-offers-... but there were also several other concessions offered - all of which were singularly dismissed. The Libyan friends I used to know a decade ago weeped after Gadaffi died.

A nation state in the middle east that used to offer free education for both sexes and free medical care is now dust and ashes - all thanks to NATO.

No, I'm not rooting against it.

What I am rooting against is that it seems to come hand-in-hand with cars being connected to the cloud or the manufacturer's servers. That's 100% unacceptable to me and if that's a requirement for self-driving tech, then I reject self-driving tech.
Either one some of us (beginning with me) will have to learn to support

So...not sure there's a big difference on that front :)
They should also do the reverse to give praise to companies who do the opposite.
Yes. This is not marketed at anyone vaguely performance sensitive. For very rough comparison, a GP5000 in 28mm is 280g. But a more comparable tough, heavy (wire-bead) Schwalbe Marathon in 28mm is 560g. (Schwalbe could save a bunch of weight using folding beads, but it seems like they don't bother for the Marathon line.)
As an American, this is hilarious. The american people would riot in the street over something like this
Ok, sure. Vibrations in the soil. Maybe overstating it to call it 'tremors'. Not gonna knock down anything with those. Barely perceptible meters away with sensitive instruments. Sound waves really.
I know it seems too cartoonish to be real, but if you read about Robert Moses, you’ll see that it is shockingly true. He didn’t just lobby and propogandize; he had absolute power over all public works projects in NYC. That’s not a typo or an exaggeration—absolute power, outside of the established system of checks and balances. And he genuinely loved cars, and hated public transit, so his projects were all designed as such. Since his reign, no one has had nearly as much power (some say he was as powerful as Gengis Khan), so it’s been very difficult to reverse the impact of his decisions.

Robert Moses was so influential in reshaping the urban fabric of the US to prioritize cars that everything else is basically a footnote.
A few years ago local mobile operators decided to create (and heavily market) prepaid plans that charged you a per week flat fee (if you had balance on your account).

Turns out that (for most people) prepaid 3.50€/week mentally equates to 14€/month postpaid, whereas in reality it's closer to 15.20€/month (or an additional 8.7%, plus credit risk).
This seems likely to be extremely weak. The TPM is somewhat useful for verifying that hardware that you own or fairly tightly specify is running what you think it is unless there is a moderately sophisticated physical attacker around. But for servers in the cloud? How are you even supposed to know what firmware, etc you’re verifying?

Actual confidential computing systems (TDX, fancy variants of SEV, etc) are meant to address this type of use case. The TPM isn’t.

I thought the same before, but I realized JSX/TSX makes it much easier to build and refactor apps (especially when working with medium/large teams) since you can use usual JS constructs to build your dom elements and you don't have to learn a frameworks template semantics (loops, conditions, etc.).

You also benefit from all the available js tooling (editor support for refactoring, linting, syntax highlighting, type checking, etc.).

Lastly JSX eliminates the burden of switching between the framework's template syntax and regular JS/TS when refactoring code and moving logic around.

The 2019 power crisis, when the texas grid kinda almost went dark?

Our shortage was greater than the entire State of California's generation. It was greater than the spare capacity in any of the three neighboring interconnections.

Like I'm not opposed to us joining our neighboring interconnections, but the problem would still exist to some extent because of the ability to move power long distances - and this assumes you build more HVDC and AC interconnections. (There is currently HVDC interconnection).

Also, the problem would still remain, 4-6 hours a day, the cost of spot power at interconnection points would be lower than the marginal cost to operate a thermal plant.

That's a lot of wishful thinking. Certainly, in places like California and Europe, they're much higher than they can be justified. Gas taxes feed into the general fund instead.

Maintenance costs are just marketing. The moment you factor in battery replacement costs, the advantage collapses. BEV companies just pretend this never happens.

Catalytic convertor theft is not that common. This is more wishful thinking.
The -tion ending is theirs anyway, and they love certain types of English words.

They especially love -ing endings and will stick them on when it wouldn’t make sense in English. Ever notice the French for shampoo on also-sold-in-Canada shampoo bottles in the US? Shampooing. As a noun. And that’s not some Quebecois thing, it’s French French. Maybe they also like the “sh-“, and that made “shrinkflation” appealing.

They also use “parking”. “Le parking”. As in parking lot. Again, as a noun.

[edit] Shampooing is said “sham-pwan”, more or less, hitting the “n” rather softly, but parking is spoken almost the same as in English.
> How many scientists can you name that are looking for signs of technologically advanced non-human craft in our atmosphere?

The US government and, indeed, almost every government on earth, scans our atmosphere constantly for alien craft both from earth and using satellites (which is to say, they're looking for missiles and bombers) because it's sort of a core function of national security to control your own airspace. I'm not sure you need anything extra to find "non-human" spacecraft.
After some searching it appears that the joke here is that yellow bags are meant to stay in IKEA stores, while one can buy blue ones. So a yellow bag must be stolen.

I'm sure there are people for whom that makes sense. But personally, if I needed that much work done on a regular basis, I'd probably prefer to hire someone over contracting it out.

It's cool that they are intending to port it to old gaming systems: PSP, 3DS, Wii, GameCube, Xbox, Dreamcast.

The readme notes all say "The <console> port needs assistance from someone experienced with <console> homebrew development - if you're interested, please get in contact with me." , it's got entries in the Makefile for all of them at least.
It has a bit of stroke contrast, which is less typical of popular sans-serif fonts. Optima was a popular example of this in the 90s. It has a pretty tall x-height too which is probably made with "small print of logo at bottom of ~shampoo~ pill bottle" in mind; it helps mitigate the problem the mark being much wider than it is tall.

But your reply is why I said what I said originally - I see those differences, crazygringo sees those differences, but I'm sure most people don't.
I can of course use whatever I want and point out crappiness of spring ecosystem.

Inflation is a disease not a virus.

Inflation does nothing on its own; it does not have agency. It's just a description of a symptom (increase in price). Whether that set of symptoms (Disease) is caused by price gauging or labor price increases or resource prioritization is not known just from inflation.

Although if you see that profits are way up then you know its not due to labor price increases as that company's revenue and expenses would both be up and not just revenue.
That’s what the entire article is about.

Dawkins: “You’re calling me violent! That’s policing my speech which is oppression!”
When a government orders their military to openly kill protesters, it's perfectly reasonable to call that a "civil war" (even though I prefer the term "genocide"). And honestly, that makes the government heads free target for anybody willing to intervene.

You won't get any sympathy for that opinion.

Other US military interventions have varying levels of righteousness, but this one is a pretty clear-cut case.
