Funny you say that considering they are trying to launch a government version of Starlink (Starshield) that would likely be used to kill people.

I assumed Flexon glasses frames are made from some form of Nitinol? They just say "memory titanium" in their marketing, which is pretty much what Nitinol is. My dad had several frames of these, they behaved in that same heating/cooling way you mentioned.

Schwalbe looks good for puncture-resistant pneumatic tires, but if you want true puncture-proof bicycle tires, I've been super happy with my Tannus airless tires. They're slightly heavier than pneumatic, but even on my road bike I don't really notice the difference, and the road feel is indistinguishable to me. The cost looks about the same as the Schwalbes.
Yes. The kind of type modeling this is doing is not very physics-unit-minded at all (where any multiplicative operation potentially creates a new type). Rather, it is trying to prevent non-additive (add/subtract/compare) operations bugs viewed as common/high risk.

I mean, your example in the context of these dim.analysis discussions would really have an output type of DurationSquared, not Duration which is what usual prog.lang modeling does for arithmetic ops.

Go also is not alone. E.g., the Nim std/times has a `*` defined for (int, Duration) but not (float, Duration).

Personally, I suspect prog.langs with native 64-bit ints are better off just using raw nanoseconds for this kind of thing (even time since the epoch gets you into Star Trek centuries.. something like 10 human generations from now).

In terms of the type creation, though, there is some hope like the Nim Unchained package: https://github.com/SciNim/Unchained

But as a consumer I don't want to have to check the price/mass in every product everything I shop, especially if I'm buying the same brand every week.
We have the same problem in Sweden with retailers blaming supermarket chains and supermarket chains blaming retailers. In reality they are probably both screwing the consumers. Then they have the gall to say "if you don't like it shop in a different store" when the prices are going up in every store because of (easily obfuscated) price collusion between supermarket chains. Consumers doesn't read the papers in which the chains brag about their "record profits" to their shareholders and even when they do most are unable to connect the dots.
Somehow doubt they will actually pay a penny of it though.

The post I linked from Eliezer explains it better than I can, so I'll just quote him:

> I have enormously wide uncertainty over the possible range of alien technologies. But I can use current knowledge of physics and chemistry, and the advance analyses that others have done of what technological possibilities those imply, to put a lower bound under alien technology that's comfortably above "needs to use giant flying vehicles for travel or surveillance".

Ask HN: How do you feel about UX/UI design subscriptions?
I've been working with software developers for 20+ years, providing UX/UI design services. I did that as freelancer, then an office job designer in companies of various sizes.

I'm now experimenting with marketing myself as a one-man studio for startups and small businesses [0].

One question that I cannot figure out my opinion about is pricing. I've worked with 2 approaches:

- fixed price. I estimate the cost of every project; I send out invoice at the end of the project (or as negotiated).

- hourly rate. I agree with the rate with a client; I work on tasks as they come along; I send out invoice every month.

Recently, I've been seeing designers (and teams) offering a "monthly subscription": Off Menu, Endless, Draftss, Rithmm, etc. The terms are more or less similar: you can make unlimited design requests, completed one at a time, for ~$5000/month.

I can easily see the incentive for the designer – but what about the client? Would you, as a client, use such service? Why or why not? Did any of you actually use it? What was your experience? I will appreciate your opinion.

Thanks!

Expecting people to memorize the per-unit price of everything they buy and compare week to week is unrealistic.

Also, at least in the US, the price/weight for the same type of item is often in different units. ($/oz for brand A; $/lb for brand B, etc)

Why are you posting this here though?

It doesn't seem to be a widespread problem, and how do you know it's not the universities themselves changing the configs automatically with some other software?

I'm sure you can reply to Google support again, and work with the universities to debug this, using their Google support as well. It might not be Google at all.

Just saying that a single support reply indicating that a rep misunderstood your request isn't uncommon. You still have a lot of steps to try to debug and solve this. I don't see how this is a Tell HN.
So TSMC and Samsung run circles around Intel manufacturing for more than a decade now but that's only because they didn't care. Now they plan to overtake their rivals for a change so that's totally gonna happen!

Reading Intel's PRs is a comedy at this point. Benchmarks, plans, made up "turn around" story. I guess they still woe some investors with it though.

> Alien fans say stuff like this all the time, but where is the evidence that rigorous research on this is being blocked?

Did I say that it is being blocked? I am saying that it is not being done. The SETI leadership is actively hostile to searching for UAPs in our vicinity like Avi Loeb is trying to do now. And this is no unique to SETI but rather it is a widespread stigma that affects academia in general.

> The idea that scientists aren't looking for alien life is just silly.

How many scientists can you name that are looking for signs of technologically advanced non-human craft in our atmosphere? How many grants are there to research this? Because I only know of one (Avi Loeb) and he was only able to start doing this sometime last year against massive opposition and stigma from his colleagues.
He's claimed far more than that. "Non-human origin technical vehicles, call them spacecraft if you will," from which "pilots" have been recovered. Some of these craft were apparently the size of football fields, made of unidentifiable materials. He's implied that he believes these craft don't come from other planets, but other dimensions, that secret agreements between the government and the intelligences behind these craft exist, and that people have been murdered to cover it up.

He's not talking about monkeys in drones, or anything even remotely terrestrial.

Not doubting that chart, but it's worth a bit of skepticism.

If people are making more money relative to inflation and the workforce participation rate has been steadily rising, then why is credit card debt at record highs and personal savings at near record lows? That should imply that people are buying tons more stuff than they used to, because if you make more money, don't save the money and you still need more credit where does the money go?
Massive fines is the only deterrent for large corporations, it affects their bottom line, it can't be taken just as a cost to do business and ignored. When a corporation is on the hook for paying up to 4% of global revenue then the shareholders will care about not breaking the law.

The source code to the kernel's elf "binfmt"[0] is very readable. The elf binfmt is registered (along with a few others like `binfmt_misc`) and you get dispatched there via `exec_binprm`[1] which is invoked by the `execve` syscall[2]. When loading a shared library, you also dispatch to a binfmt via the `uselib`[3] syscall.

College-educated-but-not-currently-practicing graphic designer checking in: It's astonishing to me that major brands are still trending in the direction of "simplify the mark into a basic sans-serif" (even though, as basic sans-serifs go, this is a pretty nice one and on the more unique side).

> I tend to blame the low interest rate "easy money" environment more than companies like Unity being reckless.

As if the founders had no other options in life than to start companies relying on business models where you capture the market with investor money and then once you’re customers are locked in, you squeeze them as much as possible. Unreal is in the same market. They also took in investor money. They’re not in the same situation.

The people behind Unity chose to play the game. The c-suite is handsomely rewarded, and we praise their business acumen when things go right, but if things go wrong suddenly they’re victims of circumstance.

They can take ownership of their decisions.
Back feeding and metering all that power isn't exactly simple and it's also a big economic cost to just shove onto people in the form of increased battery wear and effectively reduced range since the most common trips begin early in the morning before renewables like solar come back online to produce the excess needed to recharge all the cars you've borrowed power from over night. Because of that cost that kind of distributed battery power is going to come out quite expensive unless you're just vastly underpaying for the depreciation of the battery like Uber does for it's drivers' cars wear and tear.

Another big thing is your 21 TWh number has huge flaws. That's fully draining everyone's batteries to provide the power and no one is going to accept that we want the cars because we need to go places. Next we're decades away from even getting close to full EV penetration. Even if we stop selling new ICE vehicles they're durable goods that people hold on to for a long time. It's the kind of 'Company/technology X takes over everything' assumption that so vastly inflates the valuations of tech companies all over the sector.

> You are deliberately ignoring the point with extraneous details.

I'm just trying to showcase how nonsensical your question of "how do you challenge HOA fines?" is and how you never actually expected a real answer from it.

If your point was that some HOAs have binding arbitration clauses, and you think those are generally bad, you maybe should have just said that instead of asking a question one couldn't possibly answer completely or wholly accurately. I didn't even know that's what you were going after with your original question, as once again every HOA bylaws I considered didn't have it in there. If my answer was entirely based off the bylaws I have in my drawer, binding arbitration would have never even come up. If you didn't want someone to actually answer the question you probably shouldn't ask it. A better first reply to my comment would have been something like:

"But sometimes its difficult challenging HOAs due to binding arbitration clauses."

Which, sure, can be true. Then we'd be talking about binding arbitration and its pros/cons instead of talking about questions which practically can't have specific answers without more details.

Suggesting disputing HOA fees means binding arbitration is like saying it costs hundreds of dollars to register a car. Sure, maybe in some jurisdictions that's true. But it only cost me $75 to register a car here. You can't possibly answer the question "How much does it cost to register a car?" accurately without further details. If you're wanting to talk about how some jurisdictions have high fees, just say that instead. See my point?
