I'm already a paying customer but all I can say is wow. It is rare to see companies offer more for less price, especially in this economy.

Good job Kagi, seriously!
Be dubious of those claims. Lead can be in hundreds of chemical compounds. I very much doubt they have tested the filter against all of them.

Only reverse osmosis will do a decent job of removing lead, and even that won't be perfect.
Considering all the Snowden fanboyism and anti-CIA/NSA sentiments on HN and reddit I expected people to be more critical of a Five Eyes intelligence service saying "just trust us bro".
Right but build environment are awfully stupid about it. Re-downloading deps when they did not change is utterly wasteful that achieves nothing, same as re-compiling stuff that did not change.

> broken (or in some cases, regular) build attempts leaving files behind that confuse later build attempts (e.g. because someone forgot to do a git clean before checkout step)

But thanks to CI you will never fix such broken build system!.
India and the US are not in remotely comparable positions geopolitically. Yemen or Pakistan asserting their right to self defense to the UN to justify declaring war on the US would simply be suicide for them, and just another middle eastern country to topple for the US. So the US just informs the UNSC that they are killing Bin Laden on Pakistani soil, and do so in such a way as to give Pakistan plausible justification for not declaring war, since they have no interest in doing so.

If Canada decided that they were going to declare war based on self-defense, before going to the UN, they'd be going to the US and NATO, the most powerful military organizations on Earth. Canada, even just as the US's hat, enjoys the kind of superpower status that India can only fantasize about.
SkyMiles MQDs (flight spend, basically) is only 12K/yr for Platinum and 20K/yr for Diamond now, rising to 18K/yr and 35K/yr next year. IMO, the current thresholds, despite being higher than last year, are still too low, resulting in over-crowded lounges and difficult upgrades for their most frequent fliers.

Even next year's thresholds are not that high if you're crossing the continental US multiple times per month and are surely less than the flying you're doing on Delta if the loss of your business represents "10s of thousands a year in profit".

Delta's gross margin percentage is roughly 25%. For them to lose just 2 10 thousands in profit on you, you'd be spending $80K with them and doing so would continue to easily qualify you for Diamond, whereupon you'd get more reliable upgrades and service from them due to fewer people making Diamond each year.

If we're warning about valves, be sure that your gate valves are fully open (or fully closed), otherwise the gate will erode and may erode to the point where it can no longer close.

I think ports < 1024 is not so arbitrary.
She talks about paradigms and world views, about how those can build on each other. This is important because often times, the really difficult problems are found outside of the current paradigm. It's when one can think in the other paradigm, that some things become possible ... but it also makes communication difficult because it takes a long time for someone's paradigm and world view to shift. Once that is in place, there are things like "nodal interventions" to help accelerate things.

Most of her writings and podcasts are geared towards business, but she wrote one book called _Regenerative Life_.

I don't know how exactly that applies to social structures, but "beat to fit, paint to match" is not it.

I'm approaching my understanding of it from the ecology and permaculture side of things. It's really easy to think in terms of, kill all the weeds, kill all the pests, maximize yields, etc. because that is part of the normative, mainstream paradigm. It requires a big shift into becoming a part of the ecology and designing things in that way. But letting the ecology grow, live, die, and heal on its own without as much direct intervention is how you get to a place where the system is resilient and adaptive, and yields something for humans along with all the other participant of the ecology.
AdBlue is water with ammonia, cheaper than fuel if you know where to buy, and you need like 1% as much of it as fuel. Read about wood gas generators if you want to know about a real pain in the ass to run a car.
Ansible is definitely all about solving from a specified target state and ensuring that it is followed. It’s even at the level of syntax for ansible, which is how it can be used totally declaratively. And if you stick to the native idiomatic ansible way of doing everything (as opposed to doing hacky stuff with ad hoc shell commmands), you get automatic idempotence and other nice stuff “for free”.
Thank goodness, maybe we'll start making infrastructure around not having to get into our car to do absolutely everything.
No, I’m saying it’s extremely frustrating that Google just drops security support entirely for devices like this, when they could continue to at least patch egregious platform bugs like this one, even if they can’t fix everything.

It’s just icing on the proverbial cake that a month after they drop security support for the 4a a 0-click remote exploit is found.

My daughter just had her first boy and she's struggling with this. She's a night shift nurse and will regularly go 2 days a week without seeing her little one (1 year old). Now when she's home he's on her hip all day long and they go walking and shopping and just hang out all day 4 or more days a week. So I'm guessing it all balances out, but this makes me a little less confident that everything is perfectly fine.
that's funny as the fly-by-night companies in my experience are the ones spending all of their efforts to win the SEO to get those clicks where the established companies can be found by less sleazy methods
I think it depends on the scope of what's being addressed as "IQ". As far as I know, there are some fairly robust methods and results around IQ, but it's usually hard to make the leap from those to a sales pitch for any particular product/service/policy/program in a similarly robust way. So any given invocation of IQ in the wider world has a high likelihood of being somewhere between scientifically sketchy and outright nonsensical. It's reminiscent of quantum mechanics and epigenetics in that sense.
^^^^ this is so frustrating to me.
> 2% better

Not in my experience, and what about user tracking and pervasive advertising? You don't seem to include that in your comparison.
Done. The price was my only problem.
Effect size, at least for harm to IQ:

What is the effect of 1 μg of lead on IQ?

Good studies from the different research eras can be used to illustrate how lead effect sizes have changed over time.

Landrigan et al. (1975) represents the Early Era. In this study, there were 46 children in the high lead group and 78 in the control group. Their respective BLLs were 48.3 and 26.9 in 1972 and 40.5 and 26.5 in 1973, and they were 8.3 and 9.3 years old, respectively. So we have a gigantic 14 μg/dL gap between these groups. The high lead group had an average IQ of 88.02 versus 92.88 for the low lead group, or a 4.86 point IQ gap, and thus a per μg effect of 0.35 IQ points.

Baghurst et al. (1992) represents the Middle Era. In this study, there were 494 children who had IQ results, and they were divided into quartiles by BLLs. The mean concentrations of blood at assessment age were 6.6 μg/dL for the lowest quartile, 10.1 for the second, 13.7 for the third, and 20.0 for the final one. Their IQs were 109.6, 107.7, 102.7, and 98.7, respectively. Going from the lowest to the highest lead exposure quartiles, we have a BLL difference of 13.4 μg/dL and an IQ difference of 10.9 points. Going quartile to quartile, the effect of 1 μg of lead was 0.54 IQ points, 1.39 IQ points, and then 0.63 IQ points, with the aggregate (1 - 4) being 0.81 IQ points.

Kim, Yu & Lee (2010) represents the the Modern Era. In this study, there were 302 children who were median-split by BLLs. The high BLL group had a mean BLL of 3.74 and the low BLL group had a mean of 1.92 with IQs of 106.4 and 110, respectively. These differences of 1.82 μg/dL and 3.60 IQ points mean that the per μg/dL IQ drop was 1.98 points.

Some languages do make a distinction between the patrilineal and matrilineal grandparents, though I suppose having 2 of the same gender parent means you just use the pat/matrilineal of whatever gender your parents are :P
Here’s an idea to consider.

This is a broad scale study with meta analysis of multiple papers.

It isn’t meant for you. It’s meant for public health administrators, doctors, other researchers.

Parents (especially brand new parents who are into researching everything) all have their alert triggers set on max sensitivity. Just because this paper showed up here don’t mean it relates to you.

Do what you find natural and correct and don’t invent a narrative that doesn’t apply to you.
I know that one (and use it for IRS stuff!), but I have yet to find a single bank that actually uses that, rather than "give us your SSN, address, and a list of three states in which you don't own property"...
The reason is most likely security and stability. OS vendors don't want every application to be potentially vulnerable or unstable, because user installed some dubious codec pack.

One place where macOS allows arbitrary codecs is Quicklook plugins, but these are designed to run in a separate process. It'd be wise to implement image codecs the same way, but so far they're typically a library linked in the same process.
You only specify the function signatures and structs. The JVM then figures out how to put arguments and return values into registers/stack/whatever at runtime, depending on which OS and CPU it's running on. That's what the `CLinker` class is responsible for. It's like regular dynamic linking, but taken a bit further.
There's islands out there (canaries, azores). My guess is a big tsunami event happened, washed out some town, survivors show up in ports around the med saying the place has sunk because that's a pretty good descriptor of a tsunami for ancient people, and the legend goes from there.
>Most modern plumbing heats water on-demand

Where is this the case? These kind of things are extremely locational and here in the US it seems like 45 gallon hot water tanks are still the norm. We had a fad with "on demand" hot water heating but everyone gave up on it when the "it saves you money" part didn't work so well.
I have a story from my current workplace which threw me and the other IT staff for a loop.

Get a support ticket from one of the staff saying that the screen of their laptop keeps "going black" when they are using the computer. So I set up a time to take a look and ventured away from my desk to see what's going on.

It's worth noting that this is a laptop, less notable is that it is a shared device as different people work this shift, regardless, all the staff that share it are adamant it only happens with this one user. So I asked them to demonstrate, they open a browser and start typing, sure enough after a sentence or two the screen goes black and the machine locks / goes to sleep.

I ask to take a look at the laptop and log back in, open notepad and start banging away on the keyboard like a cracked out chimpanzee, nothing happens. I hit every key on the keyboard, double checked hotkey / function keys, can't get it to happen. Now I had written a small exe for our staff that locks their workstations when unplugging their security keys and killed it just to make sure that wasn't causing issues, nope that's not it.

Then they tell me they even swapped laptops and the problem follows this user... So I blow out the user profile and log them back in and let it sync again, issue still persists. Now I am watching them type like a hawk trying to see if I can spot what key sequence or wizardry is happening to cause this issue.

I can't find any reason that makes sense, when I check the event logs it just says "Machine sleep due to lid closure or button press". Happens on 2 different laptops so it's unlikely to be a faulty lid switch or loose / sticky button. I notice a bracelet on this persons wrist and joke about it not being a super magnet or something and she laughed and said no, but it does use a magnet to hold it together.

I didn't think much of it at the time and ventured back to my office defeated and confused. I am going over the issues with one of my co-workers and mention the machine sleep due to lid closure or button press, then something clicked. We grabbed a spare nametag with a magnet and started waving it around the same model laptop surfaces and sure as shit the screen goes black and it goes to sleep.

The magic spot on this laptop was to the right of the trackpad, the user wore the magnetic jewelry on their right wrist and when they arranged their hands just right it triggered the lid closure sensor which on these models uses a magnet in the lid.

In real life this issue persisted for a few weeks before we figured out what was going on, I thought I was going crazy though when it was happening.
Yep, lost my first account because I forgot my password.
> This paragraph left me with the impression that Charlie Munger has a chip on his shoulder about academia.

My old bottle with this same filter was glass, but it was very heavy and it also ended up shattering when I was climbing a mountain and lost my balance and had to toss it onto a nearby ledge. And the filter itself filters a lot of pfas and other microcontaminants.

"That's why we've taken a layered approach, incorporating a variety of high-performance filter media into one powerful filter. Crafted and rigorously tested in the United States, this multi-layered filter is engineered to effectively target both tap water pollutants such as chlorine, microplastics, lead, PFAS, and more, as well as outdoor water contaminants like bacteria, viruses, and microbial cysts like cryptosporidium and giardia."

And the lid and straw itself is also made of plastic. Life is hard and something is better than nothing.

It's correct if you read "English speakers" as "native English speakers": https://gurmentor.com/what-is-the-most-spoken-language-in-th...
Yes, you're correct. C was created to control a CPU, it is a low level language with a comfortable syntax. C abstracts the hardware. But Fortran has nothing to do with hardware, it is just a notation for computing matrix algorithms. Fortran can be thought as a primitive APL. You can do all kinds of optimizations in Fortran that you cannot do in C, because it doesn't care or know about the underlying hardware.
The key factor is how fast units need to ship. In general, the scaling is sub-linear due to

1. reduced per-component costs (volume discounts)

2. less administrative/engineering overhead (ie the salaries/one-off costs get divided among more units)

3. more optimized assembly processes

Assembly labor expenses are directly proportional to how many units need to ship per timeframe. If an assembly worker can assemble 10 units a day, you're shipping 200 units/month. So you can ship 1000 units in 5 months or hire 5 people and ship 1000 units in 1 month.
Somewhat reminds me of the situation with Meng Wanzhou. Canada seems to end up with high profile folks with ties to other countries that then put Canada in a difficult position. China is still angry at Canada over the Meng Wanzhou situation (among other things). Xi Jinping took a swipe at Trudeau in front of the Camera recently, Modi is now telling me to f'off. Politics aside, say what you will about Justin, sure as heck wouldn't want to be him.
Noted! I'll put a bit more info for those who don't like video demos.
Seems like it's not that major of a blow, just that human creation of such tools requires a higher standard of evidence now, such as "concrete traces of dietary remains or hearths—charcoal at the site could have originated from naturally occurring fires," as the article says. Ultimately, though, the farther we go back, the harder it will be to tell human-made from other primate-made tools, as the other pieces of evidence more readily decompose.
I’m up front about that. Regardless, my experience here was similar to my previous round of interviews where I successfully interviewed at Meta. That went well despite not having a CS degree or a well known company on my resume.

I have other ways to search anonymously. For 95% of my searches I'm happy to have my search history tracked, used to drive better results for me in the future and available for me to browse if I want to. As long as Kagi isn't selling my search history to another company, I actually prefer that they track my search history.

Note: currently Kagi doesn't track search history; I hope they find a way to enable it in the future.
In my experience.

DDG 6/10

Brave Search 7/10

Google 8/10

Kagi 9/10

Basically all I want is a search engine that does what I tell it to do, and doesn't try to be smarter than me, because it is not. My killer Kagi feature is the forum search. The only way to get real human opinions on things, rather than regurgitated blogspam that's pervasive on Google and even more on DDG and other smaller engines.

Mexico has been a victim of corruption since before it was a nation. Its political system under the Spanish was designed for efficient resource extraction and labor exploitation. Its home-grown system in the 1930's was created for the consolidation of political power and money to the winners of it's revolution.

Combine this with the fact that the drug market in the US is ~$150B, it's hardly surprising that the cartel pops up to service the demand while joining hands with the corrupt central government. Neither group cares about the people.

To begin to tackle it as you suggest, I think Mexico needs a full blown revolution which somehow manages to resist the billions of dollars the cartels are sitting on. It's not like Mexican's aren't trying either - it's just that if they try too hard, they get publicly executed.

Note that that herculean effort only addresses the supply problem. The demand will still be there until the US controls it's drug epidemic, which I don't think anyone knows how to do.

As I mentioned above, I'm not assigning any blame. I think both countries are in some kind of extremely shitty local maxima where the problems are so difficult to solve that a minority of people are able to profit and perpetuate the status quo.
I wish there was a way to just buy 10,000 searches as a block and charge down against it.

I don’t search that much. I don’t want another monthly service fee. But I love the idea of paying for search.

Id happily pay $5 for 300 searches, but don’t want to do that every month.

This seems like the buffet or gym model where they want people just mindlessly paying and then not using it that much.
This is not surprising .. A lot of department store retailers used to (still?) lose money on sales but push hard for all spend to be on some store credit card and make all their money there including accounting for the loss via sales.

Is this actually true? I think that’s changed. Also - how much of a problem is it? What kind of lead exposure do I receive from a small airplane flying over me one day? What does this risk compare to, say, smoking? Or not wearing my seat belt?

Simply stating that a bad thing exists is not enough.

As others have said, you're looking at the image. We'll have to wait for a bit before we get some really good images of Europa. From Google:

NASA's Europa Clipper is the first dedicated mission to explore a world with a global ocean, other than Earth. The spacecraft is scheduled to launch in October 2024 and will arrive at Europa in 2030. The mission will study Europa's surface and interior to determine if it has the ingredients to support life. The spacecraft will make about 50 close flybys of Europa while orbiting Jupiter.

Also see some of the images from Juno if you want a better look at the moon.
