Unless you pick your route based on the quality of road surface* I don't see how that would make any difference?

*yes I'm sure there are some HN types who will claim they do.
If they're superb test takers (his assessment) then they'd have all those answers if they had been drilled into them in the context of "traditional" high school history classes. But memorizing facts about ancient history doesn't teach critical thinking either.
You really don’t have to go wireless to protect your device/battery against the elements. In fact, most smartphones today are totally waterproof while still being charged by a good old cable.

It’s also pretty easy to design a connector with exposed pins that are totally inoffensive until something real is exposed. In fact, modern USB charging already works like this : a charger will not send anything over 5v x 150mA before having negotiated with the device to know what it needs.
I'm not sure if anyone actually does this despite your claim.

Most people who go AWS for hosting, also use their domain/DNS services.

Likewise for the others.
R2R enthusiasts are incapable of seeing any decision from a perspective that isn't their own personal fetish for tinkering. So any and all advantages of sealing the battery into the chassis are just waved away and not acknowledged at all.

Lighter devices? That's irrelevant, no one cares about device weight.

Cheaper to manufacture? That's just a ploy to gasp make more money! How dare they?!

Waterproofing? Well I don't go SCUBA diving with my phone, so clearly no one else does. And if they do, just put it in a ziplock bag!

And so on.
It could be easily done. Sadly Apple doesn’t seem to view that in its interest, despite its repeated claims to care about the environment.

They could make slick, elegant devices which are still repairable and have replaceable batteries.

I remember the original iMac G5 had a great design which let you simply remove the backplate with 3 screws and access everything. Of course in the next iteration they changed the design entirely so that opening it up became a huge ordeal.
> I don't want paid for content.

Then the solution for you is extremely simple: Do not go to youtube.com

Then you won't have to be bothered by any videos that people made with the expectation of being paid.

But what are you doing in a discussion about YouTube? You're free to make as many videos as you please and share them by P2P. YouTube is a partner for video creators for distributing their videos. You are not in that partnership in any way.
12ft.io never worked well for me.

> If there’s a bunch of women ending up single, then that necessitates about an equal amount of single men too.

A minority of those single men have numerous (sometimes >hundreds) short-term relationships. But far more of those single men have very few or even no relationships at all. I think this disparity is far more extreme for men than for women.

If that upper echelon of single and promiscuous men were socially pressured to stop man-whoring and settle into healthy long-term relationships, then the rest would have better odds. Of course those men will never voluntarily change their ways unless there exists a strong social pressure to change. In the past, this pressure existed in the form of men without partners [wives, but it doesn't have to be wives] being viewed with suspicion if they wanted to attain social standing at work or in their community. This pressure has all-but evaporated into nothingness.
MagSafe's auto-alignment really helped the efficiency of Wireless Charging, supposedly 75% efficient with MagSafe (based on the cable pulling 20w and phone supposedly accepting 15w) versus 50% for regular Qi charging.
On call rotation is one thing.

Everyone being motivated to develop in a way that isn’t resulting in brittle software and breaking and maybe even use boring tech for stability so even if an on call is a real thing, it’s relatively benign. It’s not a bad thing to rely on the genius of smart people who have been at it for decades and are decades ahead in some realizations.

Having software that self reports and logs multiple occurrences of the same errors and escalating errors that start in the app are one great way to stay ahead of issues.

By the time someone reaches out it’s easy to find the error, session, user, and say ok we see it and are on it. Acknowledgement at this depth upfront quite often let’s the customers to say it’s ok take a look on Monday. It’s reassuring. Also easy to forward such an issue to a distributed team.
A thing of note - to wield such a kit, one must be a an expert in the baloney detection, even if a just a little. Example:

It is year 2020 and there are these new and suspicious vaccines for the new illness and you want to understand what's going on. Smart people say that multiple hypothesis need to be evaluated, authorities are unreliable, unquantified promises bad and so on. So an unprepared person might simply drown in the sea of baloney hypotheses, like invermectin treatments, electrophoresis treatments, etc.

If a person lacks critical thinking facilities which actually work, and aren't simply contrarian kindergarten style, then adhering to authorities would be the optimal path.

A 14 second difference is less than 2% of the total time though, so it doesn't entirely disagree with them. Between dirt in casual running shoes to a track and top tech shoes, there would I guess be about a 15-20% difference, and most of that would be the surface. I would speculate more for a sprint as traction/acceleration is more critical.

>If you only want one or two kids

This is nuts. Remember, the minimum birth rate is 2.1. Every single woman you've ever met must have 2.1 children just to keep population constant. Every woman who decides to have one or two increases the burden on everyone else.

Just think about the timeline here. Start having children at 35, have your third kid at 38? By the time your youngest is 18 you'll be 56! This is supposed to be the standard life plan, the thing everybody does?

"What about immigration?"

Mexico, Brazil and India already have below-replacement fertility. China, Japan and South Korea have been below replacement so long their populations are now rapidly shrinking. Where are all these immigrants supposed to come from?

Generally speaking modern hydrogen pressure vessels are not metal for this reason, they are composite and not affected by embrittlement.

The Toyota Mirai, a production hydrogen car, uses a type IV carbon fiber pressure vessel rated for 70 MPa / 10,000 psi.

Type V are rated for 15,000 psi.

It is not necessary to liquefy hydrogen for adequate range in ground transport applications: The Mirai yields a 402 mile EPA rated range on gaseous hydrogen.

The tanks weigh 93kg filled with 5.65kg hydrogen, yielding an approximately 190 kWh of stored energy.

All without corroding flesh in trace concentrations.

By comparison the Tesla Roadster's 450kg battery pack yields a 200 kWh capacity.

Ammonia is and would likely continue to be stored in metal pressure vessels as an obvious cost optimization and thus would compare unfavorably to hydrogen pressure vessels' effective energy density where that area of the performance versus cost optimization space is not available due to embrittlement.
I mean, the non-schizo proponents for flat earth does approach it with scepticism. It's just that the their required level of proof are unreasonable. Any experiment, no matter how genuinely designed, is exempt from flaws. Science works because the detractors doesn't have the energy to waste decades in the academic apparatus, unlike true curiosity.
That link does not say that it uses a exploit with DNS parsing. DNS just lets you point the game at 3rd party servers run by a third party. It just happens that 3rd party servers can exploit the client.
A lot of the issues here have been resolved in documentation.
For example there’s now new docs on permissions and deployment also more information on backups. Others are currently being worked ;)..

The issue is still open as we haven’t resolved all of it yet so makes a good reference.

This won't throw an error if the form ID changes. Which is to be expected for working on collections. But I don't like this being the default, exactly because of cases like this.

Same thing of course applies to people who throw around the optional chaining operator without thinking to please TS.

Or would apply if one used a single selector here and document.querySelectorAll

The needless chaining here is a typical example of misleading jQuery code though. Looks as if it was there to prevent this issue.
That's like monkeys being observed by scientists behind one way mirrors saying they have evidence that there is no one watching them because they've never seen any scientists. But that would be a mistaken assumption because the scientists intentionally made themselves difficult to observe for the purposes of their research (monkeys behave differently if they know they are being watched).

I think most religious people would agree that God intentionally makes it impossible to verify his existence at a social level via empirical means... but that he does provide evidence of his existence at the individual level by speaking directly to you via spiritual experiences.
I know that Firefox Android supports extensions and therefore adblocker but I want to use YouTube's native mobile app because it is faster, more stable and has more features than the mobile web version of YouTube.
I understand that, but it's also true just in terms of physical beauty as well. Hollywood women are nothing special, not anymore anyway. There are no more Audrey Hepburns in Hollywood. Hollywood's beauty standards for sex-icon women have severely deteriorated.

Charitable explanation: Hollywood has become better at selecting for acting talent instead of beauty.

Uncharitable explanation: Fewer Hollywood casting directors are straight men.
Sadly you aren't Dr Strange, able to see the results of every possible decision to get the best outcome. That would be cool.

But for now, we have to just observe how countries enact progress, and it does seem to be that the ones that delegate and diversify do the best at it.

YT Premium costs more than Netflix or Disney+. Quite pricey to get ad free Youtube videos and not as much content than normal streaming sites.
Exactly. Not everything is a zebra, plenty of horses, but...

When I teach new EMTs, there's a common topic that comes up. For clarity, EMTs undergo about 200 hours of training, for what is called BLS (basic life support) - essentially non-invasive processes. Generally they can only administer about 5 medicines (oxygen, aspirin, epinephrine, glucose, nitroglycerin). Paramedics undergo up to 1600 hours of training, for ALS (advanced life support), and can start IVs, administer ~40 medications, and do a variety of invasive procedures.

So our local EMS protocols say that if you administer a caloric supplement (i.e. glucose) for someone with hypoglycemia, you must "upgrade" that call to ALS and have a paramedic respond.

"But what if the patient is getting better?" As expected, as hoped. And if the hypoglycemia is really just that, then 99% of those patients won't need, or want, further care/transport. And for 99% of that 99% (arbitrary, but very high, percentages), it's probably entirely reasonable. "So if they're getting better, why do we want a higher level of care?"

For the zebras. For the person with endocrine issues, or for whom hypoglycemia isn't a simple diabetes-related thing, but actually symptomatic of early organ failure, or other things, to get a deeper review to make sure we don't say "Sure thing, Mrs Smith, just stay home and have your husband make you a PB&J or two for some complex carbs" to the patient who has something more serious going on.
Not all useful tools for thinking must be considered science. I think it's quite fair to say the Drake equation isn't "science".

However, I think Popper's "conjecture and refutation" is a more interesting model for thinking about the increase of knowledge than falsifiability is.

Through that lens, you might say the Drake equation was a conjecture intended to stimulate refutations, which might lead to further productive theories.

Popper's essays on Parmenides are really interesting on this. Popper frames Parmenides' philosophy as essentially a conjecture that "change is an illusion", and the history of western science since then as various "research programmes" in response to that. I'm summarising terribly, but I think he illustrates well the value of conjectures that aren't necessarily "scientific" in stimulating thought.
There is a strong cultural/religious preference in Japan for newness and renewal. For example, the most sacred Shinto temple, the Ise Shrine, is ritually dismantled and rebuilt from scratch every twenty years.
This is not the model of the world I want.

It's a nightmare from a lot of angles, especially debugging. Mashing everything together is a recipe for disaster. To debug something you want to isolate a small unit of execution and be able to replay the same data through it continually until you get the right results back.

> For higher voltages, use a barrel plug. There's a de-facto standard of 12V and 20V there, with the latter using a slightly larger plug. As they're used widely in laptops, parts are readily available.

If you look at Digikey AC-DC power supplies, you can find about 12K that end in a barrel jack.

Of those 12K, only 6 are not a 2.5mmx5.5mm, 2.1mmx5.5mm or smaller barrel jack. And Digikey seems to not even stock the mating jack for those 6 power supplies.

There is also absolutely no standardization of what voltage level corresponds to which jack. I have about a half-dozen dead Beaglebone Black's over the years because I had two different power supplies on my lab bench for testing and the plugs were "juuuuust" close enough (2.5mm and 2.1mm are compatible enough to let you short things out even if you can't completely seat them) to let me put 12V or higher onto a 5V-only jack.
While probably enough to prove it existed, you'd probably need to pay a lot for an expert witness to testify to "hash of file on blockchain means it existed" if you did have to go to court over the existence of the contract.

I know of several companies over the years started by former Product Managers for teams I have worked for in the past. For the most part they were very successful and were the CEOs of their startups. Percentage wise they were more successful than my peer engineers at the time.

Most of them worked on failed projects within a much larger company. The failure was due more to bad management of large Corp rather than them. One is a VP at Apple today. Gotta say my career hasn't really shot to the moon by staying in Engineering. Food for thought.
Yeah, a good example is on the second page of the first chapter:

> Remark. It is easy to prove that zero vector 0 is unique, and that given
v ∈ V its additive inverse −v is also unique.

The is the first time the word "unique" is used in the text. Students are going to have no idea whether this is meant in some technical sense or just conventional English. One can imagine various meanings, but that doesn't substitute for real understanding.

This is actually why I feel that mathematical texts tend to be not rigorous enough, rather than too rigorous. On the surface the opposite is true - you complain, for instance, that the text jumps immediately into using technical language without any prior introduction or intuition building. My take is that intuition building doesn't need to replace or preface the use of formal precision, but that what is needed is to bridge concepts the student already understands and has intuition for to the new concept that the student is to learn.

In terms of intuition building, I think it's probably best to introduce vectors via talking about Euclidean space - which gives the student the possibility of using their physical intuitions. The student should build intuition for how and why vector space "axioms" hold by learning that fundamental operations like addition (which they already grasp) are being extended to vectors in Euclidean space. They already instinctively understand the axiomatic properties being introduced, it's just that the raw technical language being thrown at them fails to connect to any concept they already possess.
It's meaningless until after those people are offered a substantial wage after living through food insecurity for a while.
Frontend: Angular or Vue, deployed on AWS S3 bucket + cloudfront (for https)

Backend: AWS Appsync (or AWS API Gateway) integrated with AWS Lambdas written in Golang. Authentication through AWS Cognito.
DB: anything serverless from AWS (Dynamodb, Aurora etc.)

This way the app would be 100% serverless, no need for effort to scale it or to maintain the infrastructure (apart from automating the ifrastructure through AWS CDK).
Deutsch also heavily argues for explanations as first-class existence on the level of matter. For him, predictions are simply a practical concern. I still fondly remember his dialogue between Socrates and Apollo in dream, where he convincingly makes the point that even there he can find true knowledge about the world.
"Hard to vary" is, I think, some sort of isomorphism of "easy to refute". I found it difficult when reading Deutsch to pin down exactly what made something hard to vary.
I always liked looking at this old tech with a what-might-have-been viewpoint using the technical constraints of the time combined with the knowledge and hindsight available today. Without a time machine it's essentially a pointless endeavour, but nevertheless rather fascinating.

The Gigatron https://gigatron.io/ is a really good example of people making something pretty amazing using late '70s to early '80s tech.

Message in a plastic bottle's writer regrets not using glass
I said a good teenager might run 10.7 and you have found a list of teenagers (I don't know how old they are) that can do just that. Very few people sprint after they leave college but if they spent time becoming stronger and more physically mature then 10.7 would be quite achievable - even a good highschool runner can run that time.

My original point being that people can run this fast and that if they do they would only be a few percent slower than the pinnacle of the sport. Even from the list you shared there most of the runners in those state finals ran 10.7 or better. Imagine an olympic final that had extra lanes for the fastest teenagers from Californian highschools. We would see a horde of 60kg teenagers that could finish the race less than a second (<10.7s) behind the fastest man in the world (9.80s in the previous olympics) over a 100m race.

Agree with the most of youir premise - but a magnetically aligned and secured pogo-pin interface on the bottom back edge of every MacBook might be superior to inductive charging, which wastes electricity and generates too much heat. Such battery packs could also include a second pair of pass-thru pins for stacking and connecting to a direct wall power adapter.
As soon as that technology level is reached, humanity need not to worry about restoring dead ecosystems, but about preventing total destruction of the existing ones, including Earth. Throwing space rocks will be trivial for any terrorist cell, so any fragile single points of failure will be demolished first (like this magnetic shield, or possible Earth solar shade(because carbon capture doesn't work so far)). Then orbital stations will go, then pressurized domes, then planet surfaces in general.

I think we have no chance at the large space structures, and current age will be considered a fluke of the insufficient lifting capabilities.
Expecting that the videos will be free with no qualifiers (such as an ad playing) is also entitlement. Not that you have said that explicitly but that seems to be a common assumption among many adblock users.

Ads are the unfortunate trade off we make to keep things free. I hate ads. I hate the idea of ads. Tailored propaganda to manipulate you into purchasing product just sounds awful… especially when it’s targeted at children (a demographic where advertising is especially effective).

I think YouTube’s current system is a fair deal. You either watch the content and pay by watching ads, or you pay by purchasing YouTube premium. If you don’t want to pay, and you don’t want to watch ads: leave.
