I do not want someone to come to the US just to push for dramatic changes. Sorry, but you can do that where you already are.

Obviously someone who is 80% positive and 20% "here are some improvements" is one thing, but if they spend all their time whining about US imperialism, I do not want them.
Yes, I understand using leaded gas in older designs. But what was the manufacturer's excuse to keep designing engines that require leaded gas even on fuel-injected, ECU equipped newer designs?

Not a rhetorical question, I am genuinely curious.
I hate that engineers have made "marketing" such a dirty word
people who understand the underlying tech are frequently the most annoyed by hype cycles

> Even then, it's a sunk cost.

New publications aren't a sunk cost, they involve fresh lumber and pulp (even using recycled paper rarely involves 100% recycled material), new printing, new shipping. A present or future cost, which cannot be a sunk cost since sunk costs are things spent in the past.
We're missing the "conflict of interest" because you are abusing the meaning of the term.

What you describe is simply a bias.

Conflict of interest would be if I take money from parties A and B. Party A pays me to give a professional opinion about which nutritional supplement to take, which frontend javascript framework to use, etc. Party B pays me to endorse their special Snake Oil Pills and Ointment or React or something else. I take Party B's money and make those endorsements to Party A without their knowledge and without any actual consideration of what is truly best for Party A. There is a conflict of my interests in Parties A and B.

Your definition is excessively broad and could be used to suggest, e.g., that Nike has a conflict of interest because it is their opinion that you should purchase their shoes.
Nothingburger. If you check the author it is "Write one article a day on Medium" and prefer clickbait titles, where possible. State of WebAssembly was quite open pros and cons, challenges ahead.
Well they also claim to provide shortened data retention in case they did let you in. I believe photos they take of you must be deleted in twelve hours or something like.
You're right, some GA engines use fuel injection, also a 1950s technology. I used to fly a Cardinal with Lycoming IO-360. We got the fancy GAMIjectors and it made a huge improvement. Yes, the big exciting 2000s technology was "the holes in the injector are sized to provide calibrated fuel flow".

While I'm rambling, the dual spark in a GA engine is really interesting.
Yeah it seemed that going out of way to source from most artisanal producer in exotic locations may correlate with higher levels? Not strictly true but seemed like a correlative trend in my quick pass through results.

Maybe the guy growing cacao in the roadside ditch in the valley watershed needs some of that fair trade money, but soil quality may not be highest concern.
Don't be a hypocrite and talk smack and then try to move to U.S.
Gotcha, thank you. The reasons you mentioned are excellent, definitely a pattern that’s best avoided unless there are no other alternatives.
> This issue I sense with respect to whether there are truly any safe exposure amounts is that the moment you say anything greater than zero,

If you set all of the limits at zero, we wouldn't be eating anything.

In some areas, especially highly populated areas like Southern California, it is far from a "niche hobby".
These people drive me fucking insane. The number of wealthy immigrants who full-time complain while being from like, Singapore or Ireland is bizarre to me.

Why live somewhere you have no connections to and dislike when you prefer your arguably-nicer home country?

Can someone enlighten me? I’ve worked with dozens of those people

It’s especially wild when you talk to Indians who INSIST America is the greatest nation in history and that we have no idea how lucky we are.
Tried a premium credit card yet?
One that costs $400/yr?

I had a number to call and talk to someone with no wait if I had an issue.

I dealt with some issues and I ultimately found out that they(the store) want to fingerprint you online. Things you do to avoid that make purchasing things online difficult.

My ip address didn’t match the city I was in or receiving the item in = flag. Using a non-default dns service or vpn? I turn all that off and WiFi when I make a purchase.

If you’re okay throwing money at the problem, get a second phone to buy things with that you don’t do anything else on which has separate logins.

My favorite joke scene about a cashless society was that some criminals couldn’t figure out who to rob because no one accepted cash anymore or held it in a store. Their only option was to rob another gang.
Not so much. Many credit unions, including mine, still seem to require it (and absolutely have flagged transactions and our cards when we've forgotten).

But yes, none of my credit cards (Chase, Citi, Amex) require (or even offer) travel notifications.
Not likely as we stopped pumping lead into the atmosphere some decades ago. Things are not going to get worse on this.
I’ve never met a group more resistant to change than GA enthusiasts. They think they have a God-given right to fly the same way they did in the 1940’s.

I was getting into it right as the ADS-B rules were coming into play. It is a cheap and easy (by aviation standards anyway) technology designed to prevent mid air collisions, and you’d have thought the FAA was requiring them to murder their children.
> The problem is that people don't always copy old data to new media, or make redundant copies of current data, and do the other things you need to do to keep digital data safe

but how many selfies from medieval era do you want to preserve? Instagram is receiving 10s of millions new photos a day.
My point is that you could take an action which seems reasonable and justified and thought out within the community that you're in (e.g. EA) because you know everyone's working off the same set of axioms and can follow your reasoning. But when you suddenly get the entire world watching, that's not true any more, and you realize you can't explain the axioms to them, because it's a lot easier to say haha castle stupid EA people than to actually think it through and besides they're already scrolling past on their feed to the next bit of outrage-bait.
fyi, I can't get used to the term me*space. I can hardly type it. It articulates a level of contempt for humanity that can only be borne of complete dissociation or deep hatred. I know that's not how it's meant, but I really, really encourage people to avoid using the term.

Strangely, I don't feel the same way when some wisdom traditions remind us that we are mortal (a bag of bones comes to mind), or in response to a number of other diminishing epithets. Weird.
I couldn't agree more on all the above. Bread and circus. At some point this will bring hard times.
Trees are not ecologically appropriate everywhere. We should be restoring grasslands with native plants. https://climatechange.ucdavis.edu/climate/news/grasslands-mo....

Another advantage to grasslands is that grasslands help control the tick population. Ticks like shady spots like trees and bushes. They dry out in grasslands.
Yeah. Some info

>GPS loggers (13–14 g, 2–3% of body mass; PinPoint VHF-GPS, LOTEK) were attached to the back feathers using waterproof tape (Tesa). The loggers were set to record the geographic position every 15 min and send data via radio communication to the receiver placed within the breeding colony when birds returned from the sea. The tracking duration of the birds ranged from 8.9 to 34.2 days (mean ± S.D.: 24.8 ± 6.8 days).
I do not understand the gobsmacked face thing. It has been going on for years. There’s no way Google doesn’t know about it. I guess we should assume they… want it that way?
I’m not arguing that you don’t have a valid point nor that the feature request should be beneficial for the project to add to gain wider adoption. I know why this feature isn’t there though, because doubly encrypting something doesn’t do anything but add another layer of protection they guarantee by default, but that the computational cost of this possibly not needed protection is assumed by the provider and not the consumer. On top of which other features have obviously been added before it, with an announcement of the service with the features that differentiate it from already available and established competing services.
I don't know. This feels really easy to abuse. Like, say I wrote something criticizing China on some issue on facebook, and then China denies a future visitor visa. Is that right? Is that reasonable? Is that good for China?

Likewise, I expect that it is not in the USA's best interest to do this, let alone fair to the person who would immigrate into the the US.
The "separately-funded dual-track" is already there - It's the EPA, or congress. The FAA's mandate is to ensure safe flight. it shouldn't be up to them to be setting environmental rules. Environmental rules should be set for them, and they should figure out how their industry can meet those rules.

The exemption for leaded fuel in GA should have expired a long time ago. It's ridiculous that the FAA was allowed to keep punting this issue essentially forever, and the only reason a transition is happening now is because they finally decided to take responsibility for it, rather than because there was any legal requirement for it.
Three new Nginx ingress controller vulnerabilities and the affect on Kubernetes
CVE-2023-5043, CVE-2023-5044 and CVE-2022-4886 can be exploited by attacker to steal secret credentials from K8s cluster.
Three security issues were reported on October 27th by the Kubernetes security community, all of them related to the popular NGINX ingress component.
it helps advance the debate by conclusively showing that caloric density is not the only relevant factor, or even a dominating one, and that in fact nuance is important, which is my point

there are lots of simple, well-known explanations, and they are all wrong. that was one of them. 'it's sugar' and 'it's hfcs' are two others that have popped up in this thread

I wonder what the Venn diagram of single-engine plane owners and people who don't like being told what to do looks like.

[I am seriously curious; on the one hand, owning and flying a small plane is an expensive, privileged hobby which tends towards the lower-upper-class demographic, but it also requires complying with a shit-ton of government regulation and direction already.]
> - Mind you, the worst interviews I'm referring to above tend to be from medium to large size companies. For smaller companies/startups I've noticed the interviews are still pretty fair and decent.

Why don't you, instead of changing fields, just apply to those smaller companies?
I definitely think that if the product is good enough people will put up with ideological differences with leadership. Elon made it too easy to leave Twitter in this regard by making the product worse at the same moment he was posting half baked opinions about social issues.
(disclaimer: I make bean-to-bar chocolate)

As background, food often concentrates whatever is in the soil, and cacao perhaps more so. The shell around the cacao bean is a big filter, and tends to accumulate stuff. This concentration isn't specific to cacao, e.g. see rice and arsenic, etc etc.

Volcanic soil naturally has a lot of cadmium, for example, so you end up with it in the final product for cacao from some regions. The growing areas more popular with large manufacturers (i.e. cheaper cacao) just so happens to be areas with high cadmium levels, so there is a a bit of a correlation between cadmium levels and the size of the operation.

I've been told that pretty much all larger chocolate organizations do test each batch for cadmium, lead, etc. The smaller ones are usually sourcing cacao from higher quality distributors, and those distributors also test everything (and also do transparency reports on labor, handling, and such).

Fundamentally, the guidance on what is an acceptable level is not clear, though I cannot speak for the decision making at the companies listed in the article. CA's particular threshold considered low, and you can get equal amounts of Cd/Pb from a lot of other food sources (generally people don't eat multiple chocolate bars per day, but they might have a cup of rice and get a similar amount of cadmium). Maybe that's also a problem.

Lead though, really should not be in there. It's not from the soil, and it's mostly in the shell, which should be removed in processing.
I can imagine this becoming pretty standard in the near term, particularly in new smart phones, and also done for video too.

As ever, yes it can be faked (by taking A picture of a screen for example) but it ups the cost of faking a massive amount from where it is currently
I think you're right. For me, the fading is enough to greatly reduce that temptation. I could just turn off focus mode, but there's a big "out of sight, out of mind" component, too.

It would be kinda cool to have a way to disable backward cursor movement, or a "enable focus mode until I restart the app" option as another barrier to "I just want to make this one quick change...".

Huh. Wonder if I could emulate the cursor stuff with Keyboard Maestro by making it swallow those keypresses?
Between its speed of operation and https://www.sqlite.org/src/doc/begin-concurrent/doc/begin_co... I'm not sure when or even if this becomes a functional limitation.
That is true. Traditional soaps are quite messy. One trick with Dr Bronner's is to rinse with vinegar afterwards to balance pH.
Pages aren't optimized for conveying information, they're optimized for CTA interaction rates. I don't think a business fundamentally cares about how well a customer understands the product as long as they buy it.
> Scammers, as a category, target everyone. You think Indians don't get conned into sharing their OTP/passwords or financial details?

Right, but it's a lens thing. US merchants don't care that they're also targeting non-Americans. They care about "target US people" as a subset of that.
I blame it's cold, sterile lighting. I don't know why, but something about Walmart's lights make it feel clinical. More like a laboratory simulating a grocery store and running experiments on the masses. Thus the walmart people (they're plants, obviously)
ed was right all along?
The article focuses on cocoa content as the source of heavy metals. KitKat is mostly milk chocolate and wafer, you should be good on that front.

Would you be in favor of vetting some or all publicly available information before letting someone into a country?

If the answer is no, then you might be missing a lot of people that have nefarious intent, where you could have prevented that by looking at their social media posts. If the answer is yes, then you have to delegate to something / someone. Maybe an AI might be better than a human at spotting warning signs.
There’s a chapter on client-side throttling in the sre book - https://sre.google/sre-book/handling-overload/

At google we also had to routinely do “backend drains” of particular clusters when we deemed them unhealthy and they had a system to do that quickly at the api/lb layer. At other places I’ve also seen that done with application level flags so you’d do kubectl edit which is obviously less than ideal but worked
And 2 to 4 steering engines, 3 tons of thrust each, counting them we get to 32.
> but I thought we overwhelmingly determined that COVID-19 doesn't thrive on surfaces (very long) and its primary transmission vector is through the air,

It can last from hours to days depending on what it lands on and the environmental conditions like light/heat/humidity. (for example see https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanmic/article/PIIS2666-5...) Viral RNA can still be detected on surfaces for much much longer but that doesn't mean it's going to be getting anyone sick.

You're right that the primary transmission vector is through the air, and that the risk of getting it by other means is much lower but since people often cough and sneeze directly into their hands then wipe their wet (maybe virus filled) hands on things around them it's probably a good idea to keep washing your hands. In fact, it's probably a good idea to wash our hands more often even without Covid concerns. People are gross and spend a surprising amount of time rubbing their eyes or inserting fingers directly into their nostrils.

> “I want to be clear that nothing should change in terms of washing our hands and personal hygiene,”...In a piece for the Conversation, Vally said: “This isn’t to say surface transmission isn’t possible and that it doesn’t pose a risk in certain situations, or that we should disregard it completely. But, we should acknowledge the threat surface transmission poses is relatively small.”

To point (1), antibodies against non-alive substances are how you get things like allergies and autoimmune diseases. Your body goes "holy shit pollen!" and makes you break out in hives or "holy shit gluten!" and makes your guts inflamed.

Not all the time, obviously, and it depends on the type of antibody.

Suggested retail price $1099. At that point, I'll just buy an OLED and just turn down the brightness.
One of the things I recommend to the startups I advise is to include documentation within the repository. I always try to have a /doc directory which includes Markdown (I like using [1] self rendering markdown pages) and MermaidJS (For which I also created a dumb self rendering script [2]).

That way Merge Requests can be blocked for lack of documentation, or lack of documentation update.

MermaidJS have been a godsend for documentation.

Yes, from the outside his fervent desire to donate a kidney looks like a compensation for his rationalism. Personally, I find EA to be uncompelling because it implicitly assumes both that there are objective universal values and that price and value are in direct proportion. Even if we could agree on our values (historically we can't), I don't believe that there is a pricing model that could possibly get this right. But even if such a model existed, it still would be unsatisfying for me to do proxy work to satisfy the model (i.e. earn to give) rather than the direct embodied work in the world that needs to be done.

It is unsurprising to me that people attracted to rationalism/EA get stuck in this tension and find a need to demonstrate their values in an embodied way. Interestingly, anonymous kidney donation is both embodied and abstract unless you have a relationship with the recipient. I admire that the author had the conviction to act on their principles, but I also have a suspicion that this will not truly resolve the internal conflict that led to their act.
It automatically adjusts to ambient light, which isn't common on desktop monitors afaik. I wonder if one could just replace the backlight by a mirror though.
The hemp seeds, like most seeds, also concentrate lead and cadmium.

The other parts of the plant have only low concentrations of metals. Nevertheless, when any plant part is burnt, the ashes concentrate all the metals from that plant part.
Raising the bar of fakes is probably the goal with this
Tor was created by u.s. gov. It is used by gov across the world to secretly communicate. How else are you going to get intelligence off the ground? A wifi connection anywhere works for tor.

It's also why it's still available and hasn't been challenged in law. Every tor node and exit is in a list, it has to be. If govs wanted to, they can make it illegal and start raiding. They love raids. They don't because that harms their intelligence ops.
I think the point is just that more often than not, the kid is only where they are because they happen to have someone else taking care of the bigger challenges that end up being the barriers for most other would-be young innovators.

Kind of like how especially well done science fair projects or reports for very young kids are often the result of parents handling most of the intricate work or otherwise being engineers/scientists in the field themselves, thus being able to get them access to things typical kids don't have.

Eg 12 year old me could only throw together a solar powered buzzer through trial and error with electronics as I had no one who could do anything beyond resistor networks, but my kids would be able to do much more advanced things because I would be able to handle/simplify the complex stuff for them.

Another glaring example would probably be Sam-Bankman Fried. No way would any person without the connections offered by his parents have been able to get praised and handed billions of dollars by investors for playing video games while pitching to them.
This guy has no clue. He’s going to be a historically notable failure, though!
AmpereOne uses a customized CPU core too, and I haven't had a chance to test on it yet to see how it compares. Still probably far below the latest Qualcomm or Apple core designs, but should be better than the Altra/Altra Max series.

I would love to see an EPYC-style Arm CPU with M1 or better cores.
If you're good, freelance/contract.

The companies don't need to vet you as thoroughly as a permanent hire.

Once they know you're good, and you know they know, the power balance changes because they don't want to loose you.

After the end of the first contract cycle, line up competing options and be prepared to walk away, but you may not need to, because from there on you dictate what it will cost to keep you.
Cake and ice cream did exist 50 years ago, and I doubt it was any healthier back then. Anyway, nobody doubts that excessive calorie intake causes obesity. The question is whether some chemicals in food cause an increased desire for excessive calorie intake, e.g. via confusing our hormone system.

Most thin people aren't just thin because they eat less, they are thin because they don't have a disposition for binge eating. They just aren't as hungry.
This problem can be solved with a bit of money. There are freelancing coops and such who have the power to buy good insurance as a group. You just need to be willing to spend $10k or whatever per year on it.
This may be hard to believe, but a lot of us here in "the HN crowd" have zero interest in celebrity and do not keep a catalog of them all in our heads. Even intellectual ones. There's nothing wrong with that, but it's also just its own interest one or may not have.

People approach things in a lot of different ways and it would be nice if we can just respect that instead of digging on each other or making unfounded assumptions.
When MySpace first started getting big I remember people talking about how many friends you could have on it.

And I remember not understanding at all because these weren't friends and who the hell can handle having hundreds or thousands of friends?

I never understood MySpace and in many ways I still don't understand Facebook (I do on a rational level but not an emotional one).

I'd rather have 3-4 lifelong friends than thousands of online friends. And that doesn't mean you can't make real connections with people online, just that doing so takes years of effort just like offline friends, so doesn't scale, just like you said.
Those … are all corporate knock-offs of co-ops. what did you expect?
