Don't worry, in the future, they won't need to leave the house nor travel
I'm not sure why this is being downvoted since there is considerable evidence that a new fissure might open very close to this area. The three eruptions in the last few years on the peninsula have not been far from Blue Lagoon.
Lower case 'l' on Radon looks too much like a 'Z'. It needs rounder tails.
Nintendo make great games that I pay for. But the way they drip feed their back catalog and price gouge on N64 is a red line for me. The entire NES to N64 catalog (licensing permitting) should be a part of the base Nintendo Online subscription.

I'll give them a pass on Gamecube and later as that generation can still look pretty good.

I would probably subscribe if they got the back catalog right. But it's no bother to me really, it's trivial to emulate their games right up to the Wii U.

Hmm. I've done both. Tiny earthquake is no big deal. A big one, different story.
I've had doctors who automatically refile the claim multiple times in a row because of this. I'd get a letter from insurance saying it's denied then 2 weeks later another saying it's approved.
Good. It's a useless and idiotic exam.
When I was shooting professionally I certainly would have used the extreme speeds. Perhaps not down to 1/80000, but certainly higher than the "normal" flash sync speeds most cameras support today.

I used to photograph professional skateboarders. My favorite sort of shot would be of the rider doing something down a set of stairs using a telephoto (usually in the f4 and up focal length). I'd setup strobes in front of and behind the rider's line to get good rim lighting of their face and body as they nailed the trick.

That was to help isolate them in the shot against the background better, which, because of the f4 and need for a lot of light, we'd shoot in broad daylight.

That meant you needed very bright flashes and very fast shutter speeds. The best my camera could do at the time was 1/250 flash sync, which meant that was the fastest shutter speed I could use. 1/250 is the very bare minimum you can use in those conditions to freeze motion. If I could have shot above 1/500, that would have opened up so many other options for capturing those kinds of shots.

Others have explained that the flash duration itself doesn't need to be quick as the shutter. If it helps, think of it this way: you can still capture sunlight at 1/80000, even though the sun's "flash" duration is pretty long.
> if there's some good way to gate kids from participating then gambling with loot boxes should be perfectly accepted

There already is, you gotta have a credit card to buy lootboxes. And while I am not aware of the situation all across the globe, in most places you gotta be 18+ to get a credit card. For a debit one you might qualify a couple years earlier in the US (and probably some other countries), but an easy solution would be for Steam to just ping the bank for info on the age of the customer. However, I am not sure if that would be easily possible, especially if we are talking about API-like approaches.

The only current workaround is using gift cards, but I somehow doubt that kids resort mostly to that instead of using their parents’ credit cards. But at that point, it is on parents, because there are all sorts of ways to solve the problem on an individual level (e.g., get a card with a low limit just for steam, use a paypal account that you have to manually log into for every transaction on steam and don’t give your kid the credentials, etc).

Unfortunately, there is no way one could feasibly stop some parents from just handing their kid a credit card and mentally checking out. And any other solution to the problem that won’t massively inconvenience adult Steam customers seems to be difficult to imagine.
If these folks didn't use the water, what alternate use would it be put to?
Yeah, facts here. Valve is of course already evil AF. And braindead gamers jump on that Epic hate train and defend the Valve money making machine that steals 30% from devs just because they can. I do not think Epic is great either, owned partially by Tencent ... but at least their competition and lowering devs fees and going to court vs Apple and things like that benefit the actual devs in the end.

What does Valve actually make with all this money? That rake on billions for basically doing nothing and like since HL2 the amount of games they actually developed was very low. Alyx was a niche game for VR only. Maintaining and improving CS and calling it 2.0 is hardly anything considering what they could do. Dota 2 they just bought it. Steam machines failed and it was never that they actually sell hardware with a loss. So seriously where is all this money going?

I can only assume straight into Gabens and other high level execs pockets at Valve.
Your score on a multiple-choice exam, testing basic concepts about the law seems like a pretty good definition of merit here.
It's ok, people like hamburgers. What else would you use the land for?
The trick is to go to the CVS and Walgreens on the strip and load up with relatively cheap beer and avoid the exhortation from the casinos.
Ask HN: Node/TypeScript Alternative to Airflow/Mage.ai?
I'm currently using Mage.AI for some data pipeline work and it works decently, but Python is not my specialty and it's slowing me down a lot. A lot of the data I'm pulling is from APIs so SQL isn't an option. Does anyone have suggestions of a modern alternative that allows you to write scripts in Node or Typescript?
Thanks, but more money isn't worth the stress of dealing with that bullshit. I'm not moving one inch from Europe.

Especially, I have no interest whatsoever in having my health insurance tied to my job.

> They pay an amount determined by their insurance deductible, co-pay, and out of pocket maximum. Once you go past the out of pocket maximum for a year, everything is covered 100% in network.

You know how much deductible, co-pay, and so forth we paid for my father's 3 month long stay in the ICU with leukemia and chemotherapy? $0.
To reverse below-replacement fertility one must first understand what its causes are. Governments (and most others) have mostly skipped this step and/or choose to live with major causes for human freedom reasons and for political stability reasons.

The primary cause is wasting women's time. Statistically speaking, biological fertility declines secularly from menarche to menopause--roughly 15 to 45 years of age. We discourage women having children below 18 and the risks of bad outcomes for mother and child go up a lot after 40. So realistically there are 22 years in which women can have children. In that time they have to find a good partner and establish a household and enough security to raise the children.

Creeping credentialism is a major problem in developed countries. In the 1960s a career could be started with high-school education; now a degree and preferably a higher degree is required. These take four to ten years out of that 22 year window.

Following the credential, time is required to establish an income stream and some savings for household formation: a career. This takes longer than it did in the 1960s when manufacturing jobs were "good jobs".

Establishing a household takes longer than it did in the past too. Having got education, people are choosier about where to live and where they want to school their future children. So that can take another five years before they start having children.

With credential, career, and housing, you only have 7 to 12 years left. In that time, mathematically you are overwhelmingly likely to have fewer children than if you started with 22 years available. And these 7 to 12 years are those with lowest fertility and highest risk of complications.

(Women have been sold egg-freezing and such as workarounds; the reality is that these don't have good chances of success and are very expensive besides.)

Both credentialism and housing/schooling are zero-sum Red Queen races, but they are very deeply embedded and will be very difficult to uproot and replace. To reverse fertility decline we need to arrange things so that women can have children young and start their careers later without feeling penalized--especially compared to women who choose not to have children. There is your problem, I guess.
>Teachers who don't get it blaming students who ask their parents who try to explain and get told, by everyone, they don't understand.

I tutored kids learning Common Core math and this is exactly the problem. The teachers didn't seem to know the new material enough to teach it, the students weren't getting it, and what they were given to take home is often nonsensical out of context that wasn't attached to the assignment and very specific about what's considered correct. The parents didn't have time to figure out what's needed and learn how to do basic math in a new way. Everyone involved needs more resources and can't get them.

They have a lot of interesting ideas on how to make math learning "intuitive" but forcing them on kids this way is unproductive. There were plenty of issues before, but at least my parents were able to attempt to help without needing to have been in the same classroom.
That's originally what I felt like reading this article, that there were good things and bad.

But if you look at the true final outcome, the post you are responding to was correct: they bought Socratic, rewrote and then relaunched it, and now Socratic is for all intents and purposes dead.

So, upon reflection, saying "there were good things and bad" feels a bit like the famous "Other than that, how was the play, Mrs. Lincoln?" joke.
Do you know of any Linux terminal (eg. xterm, gnome-terminal, etc.) that would support multiple fonts? I'm intrigued, shouldn't be very hard to add support to command-line programs (once terminals supported it).
No Man's Sky just keeps getting better
I'm sorry.. but is this for real?

This is like an afternoon of work, and it's more or less a carbon copy of the existing tools. No one will care about any of the features you are describing. How much time do you think people spend on debugging JWTs?

Then you also went and added AI integration of all things. This lets me wait 10 seconds to let GPT tell the definitions for each part of the JWT, which don't change. You could have just replaced it with a map from the claims to their purpose as defined by the RFC(https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7519#section-4.1.3). Not to mention how unfathomably silly it is to talk about security and whatnot and then just send people's JWTs off to some third party.
"The district and its farmers emphasize that they keep a steady stream of broccoli, lettuce, onions and other produce on American dinner tables, including in the dead of winter. But only a few families used a majority of the water they got to grow food that people eat."

It's mostly used to make hay to feed livestock
Github PRs do not make it easy for you to sign merge commits. It's possible in gitlab to my knowledge but in github it's a pain in the ass. And github needlessly touches PR commits so that even if you could fast-forward merge/rebase the PR while keeping signatures in tact, github will still regenerate your commits, breaking the hashes and signatures.
Imperial Valley farmers are paying a trivial $20/acre-foot of water and are primarily growing hay to feed domestic and foreign livestock. Looks like 685K acre-feet per year to feed livestock out of a total water extraction of 1188K acre-feet (had to add up the totals from their graph to get that). So that means ~58% of the water is for cows.

Given how politically impossible it seems to be to increase rates or re-litigate water rights, I think I have to agree with the conclusion of the article: we got to stop eating the meat they're producing.

The health of the Colorado River Basin affects tons of people very directly in the U.S. and Mexico. We have been over-extracting it for ages. I am in favor of wise water usage in non-agricultural settings, but it's time we took action to mitigate the increasingly detrimental impacts of legacy water users from a legacy social and environmental climate.
You seem like the type to take criticisms well.
Oh don't worry, when this happens I always go back to my maps and then make another attempt.
Sure it is. When reality sets in, the dissapointment is still going to be a lot less worse than with SMRs being a viable solution for climate change.

It's really sad to see this project being cancelled and I'm highly skeptical that the one in Romania is going to materialize.
> Your intestinal bacteria will kill you (and themselves with you) if they escape into your circulatory system

That's why you are constantly generating a mucus layer with extreme diversity of sugar linkages, so that they are fed without one bacteria being able to take over the whole area (basically taming them). If instead you try to eradicate them with antibiotics (i.e. nuclear bombs) then you will inevitably breed ones that will kill you.
We were considering a Hyundai Kona after seeing someone online just yank the modem without an issue. The first dealer I worked with said he could have their service department do it, but then couldn't get the model I wanted. The second had the model, but then said even disconnecting the cell modem would void my warranty, so they wouldn't do it without a letter from Hyundai corporate allowing it.

So now I own a brand-new Chevy Bolt. You just yank a single fuse and that takes out OnStar and nothing else.

I don't really see how managers openly calling a population of people "animals" and harassing employees who are from backgrounds related to said population constituted "meddl[ing] in politics"
Why wouldn't you want your children to go into construction? I can't imagine what the prejudice against building things would be, especially essential things like energy infrastructure.
So annoying how hard they are marking up the storage upgrade. I get the pricing model where they gouge the power users to make the entry level unit cheaper. It just sucks when every product is gimped on storage just for this idiotic structure.
Evidently it's not egregious to the people putting games on the platform, so agree to disagree I suppose.
The for-profit home building industry created this problem, and I feel they shouldn't be involved in its solution.
NIMBYs where I live in the western US are always off about "but we can't build APARTMENTS because THE WATER!"

This is of course BS, because it's almost always agriculture that takes up the vast majority of the water, and of that agriculture, it's not like it's growing food that directly feeds people. Lots of waste and lots of crops that aren't directly for people.
4 tons of water is smaller than a cube 6ft on the side. Water flows where you want it, it’s disposable without special procedures, and is literally available anywhere out of the tap.

This doesn’t seem like the hard part.

Edit: sibling comment points out that helium can also be compressed. I don’t think “too much lift” is an intractable issue.
I’ve learned over time to respect everyone’s opinion, including that of those that differ from mine.

Those “crackpots” have voting rights and a desire for privacy which while they may not be able to articulate well is very much valid.

And they are many.
"turn transit operations over to a new agency that's funded and run by only Boston-area communities who actually can point to a direct benefit from T service."

How would they pay for it? It's set up the way it is for a reason.
Las Vegas had the worst luck. Their casinos were fair and most reasonable, but because they also looked so visually appealing, they were used in the thumbnail and header of every major article describing the horrors of gambling in general.
It's worse than squandering money, it's squandering people's time, effort, their lives.
Didn't the onion videos die because of inflated view counts reported by Facebook Videos? IIRC there were some fairly expensive settlements around that.
I believe all four of the states that don't require law school instead require a substantially equivalent period of supervised apprenticeship with a licensed attorney to qualify for the bar if you choose not to go the law school route (California does), so its inaccurate to point to them as examples of the “allow the public to sit for the bar” recommendation upthread.
Yes, I phrased that one badly. I meant to ask: how do I enable just javascript for a domain, rather than also enabling css/img/frames? But that's more of an academic question since if you trust a domain to run javascript, you'll surely also load css and img from that domain.

Red button (with more enabled) disables a specific resource

I don't see it. Red button disables a specific domain for as far as I can see. It doesn't disable just one type of resource from that domain.

in a nested-list UI very similar to uMatrix

It seems this is the problem: uMatrix is most emphatically not a nested-list UI: it is an authorization matrix UI. It seems that UBO does try to incorporate some of uMatrix' features back into it, but in the basis it's still a one-dimensional blocklist. That's just not good enough for how I browse the web in safety.
More like, it's hard to turn social networks into advertiser casinos. As long as the servers stay up, I doubt Tumblr users care.
It really sucks that Apple continues to make these E-waste base models.

I quite like their hardware as well as their software, but moves like this continue to sully my view of the company.
Hi, I'd suggest looking it up..

Paraphrasing what I remember from a museum....

"We mostly had sheep. The danish king was hard to work with and always let us down. Every 150-200 years things started looking up, then there was a volcanoes. Some percentage survived on boats, then the majority starved over the winter bc all the sheep had died."

I am sure there are many many more depths, but this struck me as considerably dark history tbh
Not draining the entire Colorado River dry.

Edit: Downvote this if you like, but what is your plan for providing water to the people who depend on the Colorado River once the farmers have completely emptied the reservoirs it feeds?
if you read the article, it notes that a large portion of that hay is shipped out of country.

so, not only does that water not feed Americans, it doesn't feed American cows.

it is much less water-intensive to grow feed-hay where there are not water shortages, let alone to ship that outside of the country that is already dealing with lack of water for major regions.

so what?
There’s a limit on number of green cards per year. Then there’s a hard limit of 7% of that per country. There’s also a priority system with Family coming first. The combination of three results in a really long wait time for Indians without family (who are citizens) in the US moving on H1B. The current priority date is 2012 if I’m not wrong. It did progress faster during the pandemic but got quickly rolled back. Remember that those who come on H1B are already capped per year.

I know, I just don't really care.

I never watched much of any creator-based content, just used it to browse for music, most of which was uploaded by someone other than the artist and, usually if I like it, I'll go and buy it directly from the artist/label. Someone's gotta pay for that hosting, though, right?

Sure, I'll tell my ad blocker to allow YT ads through, that's a compromise I'm fine with. But Google decided, arbitrarily, that that compromise isn't good enough and the mere presence of an inactive adblocker is enough for them to tell me to fuck off.

If that's how they're gonna be, then it's not gonna bother me at all to use Invidious.
Do they not compress the helium they have internally? Seems like an obvious solution so I must be missing something.
the worst thing that could happen on omegle is that a child shows herself naked. this in fact, is not the end of the world, and certainly doesn't justify some bullshit where we have to ask for permission before making a website or internet service plus photo ID for this and that party or whatever the hell you consider part of your solution.
Extra virgin olive oil is for the truly elite. The merely 10% only get the standard slutty olive oil.
This looks phenomenal. I love my current deck, but I'm buying gen 2, and I barely game anymore. For all their ineptitude, Valve sells products they obviously use.
'Caste'? I charitably assume that's not intended as it sounds, that you just meant social class, that it creates a social divide.
The Kruzkal Count is proven by the fact that eventually all numbers cross a point where some previous number has already been, which is to say they eventually settle on one of a small number of concluding paths.

It's not a proof for Collatz Conjecture, but I think eventually we'll find that it works out that way. Certainly in practice it does (so far). The (3x+1) is the only part that gives a smidgen of doubt, until it is eventually proven that it never takes such an extreme numerical path that it never reconverges with the CC's inevitable small number of concluding paths.
Are there good ways for US companies to host international grad students in their internship programs? How hard is it for them?

Specifically I had a conversation with a few administrators at universities in Sweden and this question came up on behalf of their students.

Thanks for regularly showing up here. I went EB2NIW some years ago and still get ptsd reading these threads. Hang in there everyone struggling with immigration.
I'd argue that putting the USB-C charge port directly on the motherboard instead of a replaceable carrier was an equally poor choice. One booboo or too many accessory plug-unplug cycles requires a motherboard replacement, RMA, or a hotplate and hot air at a minimum. There are contacts that are under the USB-C port module, so it's not even possible to change it with an iron. Better a separate daughterboard connected by FPC. Mine has a magnetic wearout extender on it now.
It would be interesting to see exactly what was coded on the electronic claim in order to understand where the fault lies. Insurers certainly make some errors when processing claims and don't always follow their own coverage rules correctly. But equally providers (including pharmacies) sometimes make data entry errors. There are distinct NDC codes for every minor variation of a drug, and sometimes only a subset are covered.

Unfortunately when either side makes an error the patient gets stuck trying to fix it.
Most of California's water is used to grow almonds that are primarily sold to Japan. I don't think most in California should have grass in their yards, but to consider desalination plants and stuff like that is insane when we'd have enough if not for the above.
That's interesting. What should the modern punishment be for this?
