"Really?" Yes

"Why'd you heat empty containers?" That's not what the label suggests you do. It's like the 'dishwasher safe' label: you don't put food in your container and then stick the container in the dishwasher for heating and expect to be able to eat the food afterwards. (Would be a fun experiment, though.)

"that's what the label is saying" I never took it that way, also because there is either no research on the type of plastic used and so we don't know that it's toxic yet (because which ethics committee is gonna approve a proposal to «let people eat a bunch of plastic and see what happens to them»), and if there is some amount of evidence that it has some side effects but is not precisely problematic in moderate doses, then why would a manufacturer care if they sell individual drink bottles or some such? It's not like they know that the patient, ahem, customer already got into contact with the chemical a thousand times in the past three months. (See: BPA. I just checked Wikipedia and it says that marketed-as-BPA-free products replaced it with BPF and BPS, and the sentence has references to ~recent studies that say they're equally bad or worse! The more you know about plastics...)

The plausible deniability means they never had to care, so I don't expect a product labeled "microwave safe" to have invented the miracle plastic that doesn't break down into micro/nanoplastics. That would have been world news, not a footnote on an ordinary box.
I see this on HN frequently. Someone posts their thing and you get some low quality banter about the name choice or hosting provider or whatever, and then the top thread is a big unsubstantiated criticism plus some pilers on. You never really know what to make of it but it feels pretty much the same as if the post was just ignored.
They probably specifically have deals with the venues to make it not technically scalping, somehow.
Lone parent children can grow up fine. They very often do not.

Teachers are part of large state institutions, paid workers. They're not going to finance someone's surgery, rent, or groceries. Offloading this kind of stuff onto the state doesn't work well because the situations aren't legible and the type of support required necessitates a great deal of intimacy on the part of the benefactor and a great deal of vulnerability on the part of recipient not to mention a legitimate impetus from both parties to make things right.

I'm restrained in my ability to extrapolate, but from my personal intimate, experiences extended families don't exist in the US. We've built ourselves out of that. And even a couple hours of driving becomes a huge barrier when seeking child care. Let alone half a dozen, and that's in the cases where parents/children aren't estranged which is an increasingly common phenomena. Between that and economy, and economics... Families may well span the whole continent and it's simply infeasible to support one another.

You should listen to these Project Gutenberg audiotexts…they are really pretty good. I would have no problem listening to them for an extended period. The real challenge Project Gutenberg faced was automating the removal of the random metadata noise from the original plain text versions of the content. And it will continually improve from acceptably good to excellent in short order with perhaps a tiny amount of hand tuning.

It isn’t just the blind who benefit. As you age, eyesight degrades and the mind dulls. At some point, audiobooks are a real boon, especially with PD texts where you can read until you get tired, then listen. Also the growing demographic of live-alone elderly like the background sounds of people talking in their residence, explaining part of the popularity of talk radio. They feel a little less lonely. These audiotexts provide an intellectually varied and overall healthier option. It seems like an Absolute Good to me.

In short:

> Entrepreneurship embodies this romanticized vision of Shark Tank and Tech Crunch and newness and innovation when in reality most people need to simplify the way they think. I judged a pitch competition at UGA a few months ago, and all I could think of with every pitch was the need to simplify. People want to complicate things, do something revolutionary, and chase glory and the lure of entrepreneurship, but that doesn’t mean they have a real shot at being successful.

> When you take away the sex appeal and fun, you come into a more rational and less saturated market. There’s a shortage of people doing things that aren’t fun, that’s why plumbers make more than most people with liberal arts degrees.

> With sweaty businesses, all you need to do is answer the phone and do what you say you’re going to do and you can make a lot of money. Innovation is sexy and fun, but the way people make real money is by copying others. My first business was just a Frankenstein take on the current offerings and competitors I saw around me.

> The businesses I love aren’t fun. People are told to chase their passion, but the entrepreneurs that make money are chasing customers. The market doesn’t care about your passion, you need to provide real value in something that customers want.

Reminds me of a very similar "support" experience I had just yesterday, with a well funded and relatively popular SaaS.

They have a problem with their css media queries that causes necessary navigation items to completely disappear as certain screen sizes, making the software unusable. Their answer, when I reported this, was to resize the browser window. The answer, I suspect, was from a low pay support worker.

Outsourcing support isn't easy, even if you do care about quality, and have a decent budget.

The artist and TM still get the revenue, but the scalper gets inventory they can't move.

What about the fans?

Similar to airlines, let people buy standby tickets, at the event, check attendance, if there is space let the stand bys in. TM still gets paid twice, scalper has garbage, and fans get in.

What about fans who can't go? Buy the insurance at checkout, if you can't go the insurance comps for the cost of the ticket.
The thing with a 600 mile trip is any breaks are very costly. You stop around every 200 miles for a 5 to 10 minutes bathroom break and gas, and that's it. I eat in the car, I don't waste time getting food. (We split up so one person is fueling and the other going to the bathroom, then switch - but I do all the driving.)

If you stop for any longer than that and you start exceeding the maximum you can drive in one day.

> In fact, when was the last time you drive 200 miles without taking a break?

I do that multiple times a year. I drive around 400 to 500 miles, stopping just once (so at 250 miles usually). 600 miles is more rare, but I do that occasionally as well (and I would stop twice in such a trip).

I'm fine with topping up the electricity on such a stop, but ideally 5 minutes, 10 minutes max.

Ask HN: I need help with some math
Since the 1700s, the world has lost more than 85 percent of its wetlands. Peatlands cover just 3 percent of the planet’s surface but they store about 30 percent of all land-based carbon, or twice as much as all of the world’s forests combined. Coastal wetlands remove atmospheric CO2 up to fifty-five times faster than rain forests.

So we would need to increase our wetlands 6 2/3 fold to get back to what we had in the 1700s.

I'm curious how close that would get us to fixing human-caused climate change.

I'm sure I'm missing a bunch of figures. What factors do I need to even begin to calculate this?

Okay. So you don't believe having both male and female parents is an advantage over having same sex on s anymore? I'm not talking about optimal. I'm talking about better than the alternative. All else being equal, should we prefer to place a child in sate custody with a mother and father or to same sex parents. By your statement on it being advantageous above, I'd say we should prefer mom and dad. But now you're contradicting yourself

Not all time is equal. On a 600 mile long time breaks are extremely costly. The trip is already 9 hours long, which is close to the max you can safely drive in a day.

So you want to stop around every 200 miles, for as short a time as you can, to avoid making the trip longer.

On the other hard when I go to the gas station I don't have that time constraint.

those don't convey nonverbal communication, and they are so unstructured that they interrupt too frequently

there's something positive about setting time on the calendar and then sitting down with someone (or a group of people) to talk about a specific subject that we've all prepared for. yes, you can do that with Zoom, but then you miss the ability to speak simultaneously and the body language / nonverbal.

not everything should be a meeting, but not everything should be IM / phone calls either. being able to mix and match is what makes in-person somewhat positive (even if I personally prefer a hybrid model)
The article is missing the most disappointing fact of all, though.

If there was a whole 24-hour period during which the sun was on the celestial equator, then 12 hours would be day and 12 night (going by the time the centre of the sun's disc rose and set).

But the sun is always moving along the ecliptic, so the day we call the equinox is just the 24hr period within which the sun crosses the equator, which is an instantaneous event.

Hi! Dagger co-founder here. I thought I’d share a few clarifying points - and acknowledge that we should explain certain aspects of Dagger’s design better, to avoid having to clarify in the first place!

> you anyway need to run setup-node, npm ci, etc. just to start the Dagger pipeline

You do need to write CI configuration to run a dagger pipeline, but it’s a very small and standardized snippet (“install dagger, the run this command”) and it typically replaces a much larger custom mess of yaml and shell scripts.

The main benefit though is that your pipeline logic is decoupled from CI altogether. You can run the same Dagger pipeline post-push (in CI) but also pre-push. Similar to running a makefile or shell script, except it’s real code.

> * Dagger isn't saving you from the having to deal with GitHub Actions' caching layer and always-blank starting point*

Dagger most definitely does do that :) We use Dagger and Github Actions ourselves, and have completely stopped using GHA’s caching system. Why bother, when Dagger caches everything automatically?

> Well, if I can't avoid it, why should I use Dagger in the first place - why not embrace it?

I think that’s your Stockholm syndrome talking. The terrible experience that is CI - the “push and pray” development loop; the drift between post-push yaml and pre-push scripts; the primitive caching system; the lack of good composition system; the total impossibility of testing your pipelines - that pain is avoidable, and you shouldn’t have to embrace it. You deserve better!

> This is fundamentally impossible with something like Dagger (also impossible in GitHub Actions) because it would require Dagger to communicate with the infrastructure provider to tell it to scale up compute to handle the parallel jobs, and then scale down once those jobs finish.

This is possible with Dagger. It certainly shouldn’t be a core feature of the engine, but the beauty of a programmable system is that you can build infinite capabilities on top of it. You do need a truly programmable system though, which Github Actions is not.

> This was achievable with Concourse by having Concourse pipelines generate other Concourse pipelines

Dagger pipelines can dynamically run new pipelines, at arbitrary depth. In other words nodes in the DAG can add more nodes at runtime.

Give vito some credit, he is an incredibly talented engineer who built a product that you love. Maybe he saw in Dagger the potential to build something that you will love too :) He blogged about his thought process here: https://dev.to/vito/why-i-joined-dagger-43gb

I will concede that Dagger’s clustering capabilities are not great yet. Which is why piggyback on CI infrastructure for that part… for now!
Moreover few people have close friends. Men in particular report having no close friends. That means that a single mother is going to be hard pressed to find a male friend to introduce to her child and as the book 'the two parent privilege' states, stepfathers are not equivalent.

I didn't make any assumptions. Most people, including Karl Marx, agree that capitalism is what lead to industrialization. All Sabine did is make the obvious connection between capitalism, industrialization, and the widespread availability of penicillin. "Ackchyually, there was some resistance to pharmaceutical companies conducting research for penicillin production" is something you care about if you're being hypercritical.

Tangential, but does anyone know why the discovery seems to barely work recently in ipfs? A few years ago I could start two nodes in random places and copy files between them with just a little delay. These days, I'm rarely and to start the transfer, even though both sides are connected to a few peers. Has something changed? Is it due to more/fewer people in the network?
It's definitely not a trick question.

I'm more than confident you don't mean to imply that a child gains benefit specifically because a biological man has an outie and a biological woman has an innie and because innie and outie go together and that that's the "love" that only a man and a woman can have together in that particular "arrangement" and that, again, a child benefits from that.

So, since a child's life isn't impacted by the specific configuration that a penis and vagina can happen to join in, what do you mean?
I think they attract different audiences. Threads is just Instagram with text above, instead of below, pictures. It is more pop-culture oriented, and has all the big celebs and brands (way more than the few dipping toes in Fediverse). It's so far also a more direct Twitter replacement — everyone just signs up in one place, and nobody hears "well actually" about missing replies or non-working follow buttons (I expect it will be a mess if they add federation).

Bingo. Sometime in the future someone will say the exact same thing for the current situation.
In contrast, I recently tried Halide on my older iPhone 13 Pro Max. Just taking some simple pictures here around the house of our cats, our furniture, my own feet, etc... and comparing those to pictures taken with the built-in iPhone camera app. Halide repeatedly gave me worse quality pictures with more noise, and also larger in size.

I'm really struggling to find the benefit of something like Halide. Can anyone recommend tutorials on how to make the best of a program like this, and actually demonstrate value over the built-in iPhone app? I've tried the company tutorials, and they didn't cover anything I didn't already know about photography.

I can verify that paper towels will not combust after multiple minutes in the microwave. I usually dampen a (clean) hand towel to wrap/steam tortillas (under 40 seconds) and have never had an issue with that either.

I'm not sure that a dry cloth has enough microwave cross section (for lack of the proper term) to heat significantly, and a damp cloth therefore wouldn't go above boiling point. I'll experiment in my cheap office microwave.
