This is what ERVs are for, conditioning incoming air from outdoors with the exhaust air. Enthalpy wheels are the most effective.

> The article assumes buildings are air sealed. Which... they typically are not

New buildings typically have a sealed building envelope/vapor barrier (excluding doors, obviously) and the HVAC system is balanced to account for pressure differentials. Commercial buildings typically don’t have operable windows, either.
Oh, reality check … the average offer is down 15-20% this year. Beggars/Choosers
I feel there was a lot of goalpost moving to convince us that we didn't just go through a recession such as during the first two quarters of 2022.
No, because, realistically, jaywalking is not a serious problem (it's not even an offence in some places). However, this sort of thing _is_ a serious problem.
>It's a bit simpler than that. Musk used his power to block a US ally from achieving a critical objective in their war to drive out the invader

You didn't answer my question in my previous post. Do you hold this view with Israel? Israel is a US ally. Israel retaking the Palestinian land would be considered driving out an invader by both the US and Israel. Should Musk be forced in using Starlink in those attacks against the Palestinians?

If not, then you aren't being consistent. You only support forcing Musk to help Ukraine because you support Ukraine, not because of some greater principle that you seem to be espousing.

>And he was unwise enough to publicly confirm it was because he doesn't want Ukraine to win "too much" (my paraphrasing).

Agreed.

>The failure of that particular mission is going to needlessly extend the war, cost thousands more soldiers to die or be injured, and so on.

Perhaps, but we can't really know that.

>A very cynical person might think it was more because Musk wants the war to drag on. Starlink can continue getting paid inflated amounts by the US military that way.

That could explain it, but frankly, we don't have any proof. It is just conjecture.

The simplest explanation, in my mind, is that Musk just doesn't want his stuff used to kill people in offensive actions. That is why he and the president of SpaceX have said. Trying to read too much into what Musk says won't make things clearer. Musk doesn't have the most consistent or coherent world view.
I said "average" not "mean". The median is a form of average.

BLS looks at mostly median households in the survey dataset, but also considers means of some aggregates, when choosing weightings of goods in the basket.

I suspect in the specific case you're talking about -- housing -- using the mean would overweight housing in the basket.
That surely.. depends. I agree that the syncing requirements can make a centralized cloud architecture benefitial.

But there are many services where this is not the case, where a local first architecture would be benefitial.

If the snappiness of your application is of any priority you will have to do a lot of local caching anyways. I don't say local first is always the right approach (it isn't), but that there are many remote first apps out there which would be better if they had been done local first (e.g. because the state they are syncing is trivially simple).
Can it exist? Yes.

Don't worry, in a few months they will make a package that says "Now with 20% more".
People also say literally the opposite: that raising interest rates is what causes the recession. People even said that the fed was deliberately trying to induce a recession by raising rates. It cannot be both things, that both raising and lowering rates causes recessions.

Heck, isn't lowering rates what the fed does to juice the economy in the face of recession?
No, my point is that the battery has the density it has.

I mean, you have a weigh budget, you have cost budget, you have a width/height budget, you also have a thickness budget chosen for many reason including the material the case is made of (which is determined by your cost budget); you take all those things into account and if it turns out your component have the density they have, it may just happen that you have some free space in the box.

The fact that a competitor's product doesn't have as much empty space in the case must come down to them having a different tradeoff in some of those design dimensions.
You can replace "Walmart" with most large supermarket brands in the western world. Nestlé and Unilever are both European companies and have an even stronger presence in France than in the USA.
Ask HN: Are there any all Linux corporations?
I read sites that are for system administrators (I don't know why, I'm a coder) and the majority of their posts are Windows, Azure or other Microsoft technology specific.

I know IBM has Linux, or did 10-15 years ago, across the org, around maybe 30% used Linux on the desktop even in Marketing. I don't know if it's still the case there.

It makes me wonder if there are any fully, just Linux corporations, no Windows.

2) 2.6% of revenue for a company that isn't even profitable.

3) 2.6% of revenue for a global company, how much of this then is only EU revenue?? Are they supposed to get their legs cut off just for breaking one law of the 5 million that they're suppose to comply with?

It appears that the video gaming industry size is 242B as of this year: https://www.grandviewresearch.com/industry-analysis/video-ga...

None of this is attributable to engines, it's the size of the products built using the engines and it appears that the ad revenues are not included and that appears to be another $80B.

The game engine market is the market of supplying the game developers with the tech to build their games. That's where the game engine makers that spend 1B per year and hold %30 of the engine market need to charge about %2 of the products made using their engines to break even.

Hevea Project: flat tori finally visualized
This is an expository article on the visualization of C¹ flat tori in three dimensions.

It is very surprising that a torus of curvature zero can be embedded isometrically in three-dimensional space with any regularity, and C¹ is the highest possible regularity (if second derivatives were continuous, that would be enough to carry the curvature form, giving a C² curvature-zero closed surface in 3D, which is impossible).

The visualization is quite impressive and comes with a beautiful video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYH_KXhF1SY and 3D-printed models like https://i.stack.imgur.com/7EcHp.png .

This feat rests on convex integration and full details are provided in this paper : https://www.emis.de/journals/em/images/pdf/em_24.pdf

Corporate america is strategy is incoherent. They probably needed to make quarterly profit benchmarks, so cut opex via layoffs. Now they are good, start hiring aggressively (again). Silly management, can't make up their minds.

Personally, I have adapted to expect the chaos and prep mentally. I encourage others to do the same, especially if you are at a risky tech company. Its best t never assume stability, especially nowadays.

It has nothing to do with Musk. Cisco, Verizon, HP etc have been slashing tens of thousands of jobs to please shareholders since before Musk knew what a 10-Q was.

Mass layoffs have been a fact of bigco life for ages. Tech layoffs seem novel in comparison, possibly because in the old days companies didn't have thousands of developers on the payroll.

but it can be, of course. overstimulation of the economy leads to unsustainable bubbles, which when burst lead to recessions, and an unexpected and unnecessary understimulation can very well cause a recession. (case in point in 2008 the Fed likely overreacted[0], because everyone was so scared of the insane housing prices, claiming there's no economical reason for them, whereas now it's clear that there are multiple serious factors cooperating to keep housing prices absurdly high.)

Sure, but SAP's business model doesn't depend on doing as much privacy violation as they can get away with (this is basically the business model of all adtech) so they're far less likely to fall afoul of the GDPR. The main risk to a company like SAP would be _accidentally_ falling afoul of the law; this tends to happen where companies are grossly negligent in their handling of personal data, and this is then exposed in a major leak.

We didn't go through a recession nationally or globally but there has definitely been a micro tech recession as the VC valuation bubble burst.

It is a beast of a tool. I still only use a tiny fraction of it's potential. I use it to spot Trends, which are the right hand side of the dashboard (its the current most searched for keywords on etsy - 2 weeks ago it was "trump mugshot"). Then in the main portion of the dashboard, it summarizes my shop (inventory, missing/unoptimized tags, missing images, sales to date, global and national ranking, a few other less useful stats).

As I understand United States copyright law, it is impossible for an author to voluntarily enter something into the public domain. They can license it to whomever they like, of course, on any terms that are legal within a contract (including creative commons licensing), but they can't just say "this is public domain".

It is especially true when they fail to give license terms. People using it as if it were public domain don't have a license, or any proof of having a license, and if the author dies tomorrow, his or her heirs inherit the copyright (which will still last for another 75 or 95 years, I forget which). They now own it, and can go after those who use it for copyright infringement, with all the penalties that go with that. If the heirs were particularly powerful or have political influence, they might even manage to get the DOJ to pursue the matter as criminal.

Thought I've never watched the show, doesn't one of the characters in The Office start talking about how he's "declaring bankruptcy" by saying those words emphatically, where the other characters try to explain how it doesn't work that way? He then goes on to say "I'm not just saying it, but declaring bankruptcy" as if this is somehow a legally important distinction?

That's what this guy is doing.
Safeway is somewhat insidious with things like this. They'll have a relative price (per pound/oz) for one size of an item, and then for the same item, different size, they'll use a different metric (per packet/slice, etc.) to make them not (easily) directly comparable.

That's interesting; major Dutch banks ING [1] and Rabobank [2] say that acceptance of non-EEA credit cards will be mandatory, with ING explicitly stating that this is due to MasterCard and Visa rules:

> 5. What if I don’t want to accept credit card payments?

> While there is no immediate need to make this change, by the end of 2024 all merchants will be obliged to accept all card products from Mastercard and Visa, under the Honor All Cards Rule, which states that if a merchant accepts one type of that brand’s cards, they must accept them all. Merchants who accept Visa and Mastercards’ debit cards are also required to accept Visa and Mastercard’s credit cards (if they are issued outside EEA)

> This means that if you as a merchant accept any kind of Mastercard or Visa card, you must accept all Mastercards or Visa cards: debit, credit, prepaid and commercial. However, legislation does allow you, as a merchant, to refuse acceptance of credit cards issued in the EEA that are in scope of the Interchange Fee Regulation, article 10; if you wish to arrange this, you can reach out to your terminal supplier.

Strangely though, the third major bank (ABN AMRO) actually doesn't seem to mention this and only mentions EEA debit cards [3].

In EU, by law you are supposed to show the reference price (lowest price in last 30 days pre reduction) in small print. Different implementations in different countries but, at least for me, it does what is supposed to do.
Lots of European companies have gotten fined.

But also, primarily European companies did generally take it a lot more seriously than multinationals.

It also allowed me to spot some shady pricing practices, the recent one: dishwasher tablets are 10% cheaper when buying a bunch of smaller packages, rather than a big one. I still buy the latter as it results in less waste but it pisses me off to know how unnecessary and bad for the environment these practices are.
Why would you ever run Jakarta EE nowadays instead of the defacto standard Spring Boot or it‘s high performance alternatives (vertx, etc.)?

The upcoming spring boot 3.2 already has first class virtual thread support out of the box and you can AOT compile it with graal!

A cute gesture I guess but honestly "adult revisions of old public domain children's stories" is a really glutted genre in comics, there's a constant churn of people trying to build a reputation in the field with "what if Snow White had guns and a sword and grudge against the Three Big Hogs who run all the crime in this town" or whatever.

Effectively he's just handed this property off to DC for free, I sure wouldn't touch this without an expert IP lawyer willing to defend me for free and a deep dive into the exact copyright/trademark status of everything related to Fables. It might be a decent publicity stunt for a small publisher to bait DC into suing them, I'm sure there's a few people who are already pondering this and asking themselves who in their regular stable of artists and writers might be willing to spend a while on a risky project like this. And if they're willing to risk the whole company on it.

PS. In issue 17, "The Guns Of Snow White" pivots to "The Fabulous Adventures Of Hans My Hedgehog" after he was introduced as Snow's sidekick in issue 12 and kinda stole the show with his snarky ultraviolence act.
