Both PEX-A and PEX-B require a separate tools (segment of the tool, or swappable tool head) to perform the pipe to fitting connection. In most cases, it’s easier to just upsize the pipe and have your final termination point be the size you need. I’d rather have very cheap 1/2 inch available than have slightly more expensive 1/2 and 3/8 inch. If needed anything that required the 3/8 in, I would just use copper because it’s likely a very small and isolated case.
Pro-Russian wing in EU forbid import of cheap Ukrainian food into EU as a kind of sanctions against Ukraine, which caused the spike in food prices.
armchair review here -- the paper is a lot of work by a large team.. the math is very challenging, and appears to be thorough.. the field is fast-moving

so the paper is useful as a "list of other current papers" if nothing else; gets the hard-working team some recognition, and spreads the sophisticated maths among more practitioners at a time when this is internationally significant..

My guess as to the importance here is that the "mesa" technique might "steer meaning linkage" somehow, in the middle of "poorly understood" behavior. As another YNews other comment mentions, it may be more labor for unclear returns, yet it is based in theory that might lead somewhere over time.

This paper focuses on NLP language once again, but the transformer tech is being applied to a LOT of digital domains. So this "mesa" theory might find application elsewhere soon. I do not know why this particular paper was upvoted (feedback welcome). A review of "useless" seems premature to me, and ignores other positive attributes, some of which are mentioned above.

> There is evidence that the prices they charge in Austria are often significantly higher than in Germany

The cost of doing business in Austria is significantly higher for supermarkets. On the one hand because Austria has many more supermarkets to begin with per chain, secondly because of the high cost of labor in the country. Comparing countries that way is not trivial.

Interesting history, but people in Leuven call this city Leuven and not Louvain. No need to use the french term in a flemish city where almost no one speaks french as their first language. In fact, french language was the subject of some amount of political struggle in the 1960s, resulting in the founding of the french speaking university in "Louvain-la-Neuve", a planned city that was built in (french speaking) Wallonia for this purpose. You can read more about the politically important language discussion that occured in the 1960s here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split_of_the_Catholic_Universi...

The way I understand the extra "dimension" here is like me viewing a bacteria on a cover slide. To the bacteria, that 2D flat plane is all that matters. Sure, technically it is 3D, but the 3rd dimension is compressed so much it is basically nonexistent and the bacteria can't really be bothered anyway. They can't even comprehend the concept of dimensions.

But to me, I am fully in 3D. I am literally an extradimensional being to the bacteria. And I am so far above it (no pun intended) I am incomprehensible to anything that lives on that 2D slide.

Even if I assume the bacteria has some really good teachers and can build stuff (they actually do, they make biofilms that are pretty complex "superstructures"), the kind of thing they can do in their limited plane of existence is nothing compared to what a human can.

So while I don't believe anything that was released so far points conclusively to real aliens, I don't find the concept of extradimensional beings too far fetch.
Sure if you define conservatives to mean authoritarian leftists who want to conserve their rules and laws, I agree:

The thing is the base rate probability that interstellar travelers got here from elsewhere in the galaxy, can either survive on our planet or brought enough with them to survive in space, have been here for decades and managed to never be concretely detected, exist at all as a form of life seemingly capable of understanding and communicating with us, building structures and traveling vessels similar to what we would use, even with roughly humanoid body morphology, is so low that virtually any other possible explanation, no matter how unlikely, is still more likely.

My wife and I think exactly this way and we did just that: precisely for that very reason, we decided to have one kid. Not three. Not two (could have happened with twins but that's uncommon).

And if everybody were to do like us for a few generations, most of our problems would be solved in a few generations (and couple could start having two kids on average again).

And I do not care about the broken promises of failing states who need ever more young people to pay for the impossible-to-sustain pension schemes.
Ah, so I must solve all problems that impact my desired end state? This sounds perilously familiar, are you in my management chain?

Like, snark aside, I said "we", not "they", intentionally. There's a whole lot of people working on these problems. That these folks aren't targeting commercial shipping does not mean in the slightest that it's not happening. When I go to town meetings and say "hey, high-density housing is good for [town]!", it's not somehow less legitimate that I'm not going to the next town over and advocating for it there, too.
That does not reflect actual reality. Retailers have answered plenty times why they are charging higher prices in Austria compared to Germany and the arguments are hard to ignore (higher cost of doing business, higher taxes, higher density of super markets, more rural delivery requirements etc.).

Specifically on that point:

> extra wages(lower than Germany FYI)

That is incorrect, the cost of an employee in the grocery space per hours worked is still higher in Austria than Germany, quite meaningfully so.
This is good advice. Grinding leetcode literally almost killed me. Got a high fever after trying to go through it blind (as in without knowing anything about it and the patterns) and somehow almost sleepwalked off the balcony (20th floor)

While plenty of people are religious, everyone there know it's a mix of climate change and unchecked construction and logging mafias destroying the local ecology and leaving it ripe for massive disasters.

For example, take a look at the recent floods in Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Jammu Kashmir. It was triggered by climate change but further exacerbated by a mix of shoddy construction, unpermitted construction of hotels on ridge edges, riverbed mining (done by both the INC and BJP - both Agnihotri and Satti are part of the mining mafia back in Una) and the Indian Govt building highways in a manner that works for plains, not high altitude ridges. [0][1][2]

The scary thing is, Himachal Pradesh is pretty well governed by developing country standards - it's developmental indicators match up with Kerala and most Provinces within China.

Imagine if climate change disasters and unchecked development happens in weakly governed areas (eg. The Medicane in Libya - 7 dead in Türkiye, 10,000-100,000 dead in Libya)

But let me point out that hierachical databases (which document databases, xml etc are variants of) predate the relational model (and certainly predate Dates work) so it it worth to be aware of the challenges and limitations which caused the development of the relational model as an alternative.

It's all irrelevant details, like 95% of the article probably is, from what I've skimmed. I'm willing to bet her argument could be summarized in less than 5% of the length of this article.

And I'm sorry, but I'm not willing to waste my time reading these sorts of articles, as I have many, many other things which are more important to me.

Which is a shame, because again, I'd be willing to read and learn about her issues if it was written in a more succinct, straight-to-the point style (which can still be long, but not filled with irrelevant details).

I can understand that there are people who like to read these articles, but I'm not one of them. I'm here in Hacker News to read articles to learn about interesting issues and discuss them with interesting people, as efficiently as possible.

We're talking about grocery stores here, not just general retailers. I have a really hard time believing that US grocery stores are operating on razor-thin margins here, given how extremely expensive groceries are (when adjusting for income, other cost of living etc.) compared to e.g. Germany.

One problem of the Austrian grocery store market is that there's just way too many branches per capita (compared to the otherwise pretty similar market of Germany again), which brings down margins.
Given that OpenAI is probably heavy on ML scientist types and lean on SRE types, I suspect there's just some nginx setting at the load balancer/edge servers that sets the timeout to 5 minutes, and it wasn't communicated to whoever was designing the API/writing the docs.

Prices should be slightly higher in Austria, because the VAT (Mehrwertsteuer) is 20% for most consumer goods, and 10% for food, vs. Germany’s 19% and 7%, but not as outlandishly so as Mario’s data have shown.

For American readers: VAT is included in the shelf price, rather than tacked on at the register like sales taxes are in the US. Upside: fewer surprises at the register. Downside: it’s less visible.
I wouldn't be productive enough for today's academic system (2013)
There is significantly higher competition in Germany than in Austria when it comes to supermarkets. Grocery chains might very well want to push up the prices more to restore margins but might find it hard to do so.
Ask it to come up with a few different solutions and then compare and contrast to find the best one.
I wondered why this article doesn't have a very obvious thing for the topic it's trying to cover - a photo of mentioned stickers.

Perhaps because it's a rewrite of another article originally for European audience - for example https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/sep/14/carrefour-p...

CNN removed the French photo and also introduced a mistake - when they converted "1.5 litres" for US audience they wrote "0.3 gallons" instead of "0.4"

This number is doubled or trippled for one of the big boys because of directly tradable equity.

I’m glad they are focusing on other pollutants. Lots of people go from ships pollute a lot to they produce a lot of CO2, when they really make other pollutants and are pretty efficient for CO2.

I've learned that when it comes to contract law, the answer to any question seeking a "can they do that?" is: depends how much they want to spend in court.

Can they write a retroactive clause into a contract? Yes. They can write _anything_ into a contract.

Is it enforceable? Maybe. And the more they're willing to spend, the more it will cost for that answer to be resolved as "no." (and even after all that spending, maybe the answer is "yes.")

Did they write this into the contracts that game devs have already signed? Dunno. Will have to ask the game devs.
My pet peeve is that price per round measurement unit (eg kilogram) is in tiny writing compared to product cost, even though they are arguably equally important. Given that the former is mandated, they should also mandate that they appear in equal size fonts on price labels.
I'm the submitter of the NY Times piece here. The WSWS link was submitted by a banned account (I have "showdead" enabled so I see such comments). In the interests of fairness and to remove the claim that that viewpoint is being suppressed, I provided it myself in my own comment.

I'm going to suggest that the HN readership should be sufficiently literate to compare the two pieces, the narratives, facts, and shadings presented, and if it chooses to do so, assess and/or identify slants, defects, or strengths of each piece.

Which might be more productive than attacking someone who's already said that they don't endorse the piece.
Calling the situation in Libya a civil war is accurate but sort of elides the real situation. Libya has not recovered from the NATO regime change operation to remove Gaddafi from power. The civil war is the outcome of the regime change operation.

Prices should be higher for a variety of reasons and they have historically already been higher. It's not just the VAT but particularly super market density, lack of competition on the market, general cost of doing business in the country.

This is a home made problem for the most part, but there is very little appetite to do something about it. Austria in many ways is drowning in very expensive regulation, has high taxation even for grocery store workers.

Again, they specifically said they are going after them because “Cruises don’t serve any purpose”. It’s like saying we are going after cigarettes for causing cancer. But not going after asbestos because cigarettes “don’t serve a purpose”.

>I don’t see what’s wrong with this comic at all.

Everything is wrong with that comic.

>It’s saying that if someone really wants to get into your laptop, they can torture you for your credentials.

Can they? Please take a moment to actually think about this. What if they stole the laptop out of my car while I'm traveling? How do they even find me? Is it worth them sending a warm body and paying for airfare to follow me home if they do? How do they keep me from shooting them when they break into my house or attack me to torture me? Or my friends or family from shooting them? How do they evade law enforcement? Again, is all this worth it? And how am I worse off if I instantly give the password vs if it was plain text and they never had to let me know at all? What does encryption have to do with physical attacks? It's completely stupid.

Seriously, if you think this is correct take it to the logical conclusion: why bother wish any password beyond abc123? After all, they can "just" torture you for it right? Why bother with HTTPS? Attackers can "just" torture bank IT for the accounts anyway right? Except obviously that's not how it works.

>They could similarly ransom/blackmail you or any number of other approaches that don’t involve attempting a brute force decryption.

Again, no they generally cannot. It's impossible to be secure against an omniscient attacker with infinite resources, but IRL there is no such thing. Not even the biggest most powerful security agencies. If the cost of attacking is higher than the value of whatever it is, the security is good. Forcing attackers away from cheap, undetectable attacks into expensive, noisy attacks is what it's all about!

This comic pushes one of the most fundamental misconceptions about security, and in a doomer despair sort of way. "Why bother taking any steps, the CIA/KGB/whomever can still get you!" is not a reasonable message or argument.

Edit: another real common flaw in thinking about security is inventing fanciful threat models vs real ones, which is bad because it can mean poor allocation of limited resources. It happens a lot in certain parts of the gun community for example, egged on of course by those with things to sell: people worried about defending their homes might spend 4, even 5 figures on firearms, yet then also have a crummy door and lock that would take approximately 3.8 seconds to kick in. It would be much more effective and have higher ROI to invest much less money in basic physical security first. Decent frame/door/bolt, shatter resistant first floor windows (or film on the windows), cosmetic but spiky bush beneath them, etc won't keep out determined attackers. But most likely attackers aren't determined. They aren't after "you" they're after "someone", low hanging fruit. You don't have to be Fort Knox, you just need to be enough of a pain that police are more likely to show up in time and make it not worth it. Or enough of a pain that they go next door as cold as that is to say. It's another sort of "preoptimization is the root of all evil", focusing on outliers vs the common case.
it's funny, i was thinking about this last year. "is there a technology solution that would arm shoppers with better knowledge so that the market may reward participants based on their good behavior with respect to inflation?"
