Wow,now that's some great feedback! I especially enjoy the last idea,I never would have thought of a widget for a user profile.

As for the in app browser, why is that preferable to the default browser? For example I am logged into HN in my default browser and I thought that would be preferred to inapp? I'll look into this though, as you're likely right for majority preference.

As for missing the comments,that is indeed sorely needed. I will be working to add this.

Anyways, thanks again for the quality feedback,appreciated.
Dire warnings about Libya dams went unheeded
The author seems to have things backwards. They want to read/learn something first, then figure out, with a group of people, what they can do to apply that newfound knowledge.

They might appreciate their efforts more if they instead decided to take action on a thing, and then found material to learn that can help them take that course of action.
If the car was "constantly beeping", you were either not wearing your seat belt (unlikely), speeding with speed limit warnings turned on (though there are plenty of mapped areas that have outdated speed limits and no updated signs on the road to replace them), or approaching stopped cars way too quickly, triggering forward collision warnings.

I think you will have to accept that you won't have time to sit down and grind leetcode or work on a project for very long. You might have only a few minutes to dedicate each day. I would see if you can find 15 minutes here and there, like the morning, lunch, and night. I bet you might be surprised at how much you can accomplish on a side project because you can think about it throughout the day, and then use your 15 minutes to code it up. Also, try and cut back at work... not getting roped into extra work and setting boundaries is also a skill. Let the younger devs cut their teeth on some issues. You might seem slightly rude at first, but once people understand you have boundaries, they will accept it. If they don't, then it's time to move on to someplace that does.

Also, tours depend on a lot more than travel. Venue availability, other major events impacting attendance, advertising and marketing.

Everybody and their dog had a solar heater on their house in Cyprus, from 30 years ago. It was cheap deployable tech accessible to literally peasant farmers.

I visited Sardinia recently for the first time, and saw the exact same type of houses built there, with the same climate, but not a single solar heater on their roofs. I wondered aloud why, but got no answer.

My guess is that an energy company took an interest early on in Sardinia, and Cyprus was thankfully missed for a few decades.

Lee Kuan Yew was an extremely savvy statesman. He likely knew that if he accepted the bribe, he will be forever beholden to the whims of the CIA.

Based off his background (old moneyed, Cambridge educated) and how he governed Singapore (with an iron fist), obtaining more wealth was probably low on his list of priorities, what he wants is power.

This is the crux of the social good of anonymization in modern times.

Historically, it wasn't current-moment anonymization that was good, but ephemerality.

Sadly, I think the right/ability-to-record is a genie that can't be put back in the bottle (no one can scrape anything?), so we may need to switch from identifiable-but-emphemral (historical state) to anonymous-but-recordable (future state) to preserve the same freedoms.

IMHO, we'd be better off working to curb the worst consequences of broad anonymity (e.g. astroturfing / artificial amplification).
I think there's a case to be made that data contains bias, ie. previous arrests, encoding the bias of the past arresting officer, but the algorithms don't contain bias. Unless you could explain how logistic regression is biased.
<< By "the people" you mean the leaving aside the ~600,000 enslaved along with all the women and native people who could not vote.

On cell so I don't really want to write a whole essay.

The poster focused exclusively on the excluded without considering that the exclusions that were made with defaults that do not align with today's values. It is almost like complaining about Romans severely puniahing their slaves for disobedience. It completely ignores the reality of the world the person lives in and judges them based on today's expectations.

For me, I identified as a person who loved learning.

And then, I started viewing my need to learn random stuff as . . . A way to distract myself.

Now when I feel the tug to set a learning goal, I step back and feel what’s behind it.

Is this goal really the best use of my time? Or is there a big fear I’m avoiding or pull toward validation that I’m seeking in this moment?

I’ve learned so much from not reading :)

The efficiency of hot water heaters is actually surprisingly good. A modern insulated tank retains heat very well. And it's more flexible for heating options since the water can be heated slowly over time. You can now get heat pump water heaters that are more efficient than tankless heaters. [0]

Water heaters are pretty clever, in a low-tech sort of way. Technology Connections did a good video about them recently. [1]

Looking for hidden mechanisms of power is all well and good, but an excessive focus on equality can also be misleading. In many ways, our contemporary societies are suffering from a clear overproduction of aspiring elites each of whom is "fairly" and "equally" competing for a fixed pie of increasingly tyrannical rule over others, in a way that's detrimental to everyone and precipitates a breakdown in social trust and cohesion.

A 'natural' aristocracy is inherently less dependent on achieving a position of power, so overproduction is inherently mitigated. It's not clear that the privilege conferred by a seemingly "equal" mechanism of strenuous competition is any less objectionable than the overtly unequal privileges of wealth or birth that Jefferson rightly objected to.
But was it state sponsored? My understanding is that it was mostly robber barrons doing their thing, which isn't really "The US", its more "People in the US".
I remember having this theory explained to me once; let’s see if I can get it right.

The theorized asteroid hits some land mass on Earth and the impact causes a column of dirt to rise into the atmosphere and ultimately out of the atmosphere, at least to some degree. (As I understand it, the effect is similar to a column of water which replaces the vacuum left by a dropped object; fill a bowl with water and drop a marble in it to see a small-scale version.)

The column of dirt doesn’t manage to escape Earth’s gravity so it starts to fall back. The dirt this entire time is colliding with a whole bunch of air particles causing a lot of heat to be generated. This heat becomes enough to temporarily (hours) turn the surface of the Earth into an oven, which kills most life. A distant human-evolutionary ancestor had been a mammal which liked to burrow and the insulation provided by the surrounding dirt protected such animals from the heat.

I’m not sure about some details like I’m pretty sure (as theorized) the dirt might turn to glass as it goes up but I’m not sure how much that matters. The important things are the oven-like heat and how our ancestors were spared.

The energy of the asteroid is effectively turned into heat by the planet, which eventually dissipates but hypothetically not before cooking a lot of things.
I think the idea here was that depth = shadow.

For the level of copying being discussed, the scenario to compare to is when Google waymo sued Uber for copying files for hundreds of millions of dollars. They were caught copying source files & design docs.

Both for software products and manufacturing products, that's what is going on: exact copies of source code, assembly line configs, etc. Many folks write off selling to China for reasons like this. Initially that means underserving one big market for self-defense. Where it gets next-level painful and crazy is when cloners then take their derived works back to the international market to compete directly with the inventors. By then it has been tweaked, but the core is still the clone.

Partly, it’s the business model. I was at OkCupid and we made money by ads, rather than successful matches, and this drives the business.

Another is the metrics. OkCupid tried to focus on “three ways”, which was a message, a reply, and a reply to the reply. That’s just enough communication to make a date for Marl. If we had focused on users who had a better-than-marginal experience, it might have preserved the features this author liked.

But, really, a different business model makes a big difference.

Sure. But that is an easy snide remark that does not consider the simple truth that humans are fallible and, well, human.

I agree!

I'm disgusted with authors who sign up to this.

There are alternatives (such as self-publishing) that would hugely benefit the creators.

But, even more important is integrity. New editions only when necessary. Fairly priced. The software industry introduced the concept of 'upgrades' - that's equally possible in publishing now; no excuses.
Not going to lie, TikTok served me some clips of the Battleship movie and I ended up watching it. I never would have otherwise considered it.

I am sure content id system within youtube would be very sophisticated. But if I were to solve this problem simply. I would first detect edges of all the rectangles within a video. Then get a normalized RBG color historgram for a N seconds of the rectangle forming a timeseries. Then do a approximate time-series matching over all content in my database. I am sure this simple algorithm could be highly optimized further. Is there an opensource library which does something similar?

I mean in most economic theory ultimately the interests align with those who owns the means of production. In capitalism that is the individual (ideally) and in socialism it’s society (ideally) so not sure what’s wrong with GPs definition. The interest of those who own comes first in either case; that seems self evident.

If only Uponor would flesh out their fitting portfolio for 3/8”. 3/8” PEX is a near-perfect material for hot water distribution to sinks and showers — jurisdictions seem to have settled on the 0-2gpm range for sinks and showers, and 3/8” PEX high velocity at moderate pressure loss at these flows, which is exactly what you want. [0] But Uponor has very limited 3/8” parts, and using their brass fittings in that small size makes me a bit uneasy due to potential erosion issues. Give me stainless steel or plastic, please, or at least something where the very narrow part that inserts into the 3/8” PEX tube is highly resistant to fast-moving hot water.

If you consider push-to-connect fittings acceptable, something like this could be very nice for connecting tubing to shower valves:

(3/8” is permitted by code, but not by the tables in the UPC - actual math is required.)

[0] PEX, unlike copper, tolerates fairly high velocity hot water. Copper has a delicate passive layer on the inside, and scrubbing it off will erode the pipe. The interior of a PEX pipe, is, drumroll please, just PEX, which is a rather tough polymer that is not going to be easily eroded away.

> It is important, indeed essential, to discriminate: to prefer the smart and virtuous over the dumb and selfish.

This sounds reasonable at first glance, but I would challenge you to describe a society in which the "smart and virtuous" are elevated over the "dumb and selfish" that does not rely on an external power structure to enforce this hierarchy.

One conceit of a "natural aristocracy" is that it should be self-organizing. In practice, we know that this process will ultimately prize traits that consolidate power. Some people are stronger than others, some are willing to use physical strength to bully others, and those who are in both groups will rise to the top of a "natural aristocracy" that prizes brawn.

I think this is basically true. We’ve got a tendency towards hero culture as a society, in which we expect one person to solve the problem. That fails on almost any problem of reasonable size and impact - you yourself cannot solve, say, climate change - and it leads us to feel like we’re not doing anything if we’re not doing everything.

I’ve come to think of it more like I’m on this boat with everyone else - I can’t do anything on my own, but taking my turn at the oars contributes to the journey. You can’t do everything, so at least be a net positive - be the kind of person where if everyone acted like you, it’d make the world you want to live in.
