Well, iron is non-renewable, copper too, every metal actually. Actually everything we mine is non-renewable.

If anything, helium is the only renewable thing we mine. Helium is just alpha particles produced continuously inside the Earth from the decay chain of uranium and thorium. It was produced for billions of years and will continue to be produced for billions more. It continuously seeps upwards. It stops where other gases are stopped, which is a way of saying you find it in reservoirs of natural gas. There are natural gas field in America yielding more than 1% helium. Helium is just not valuable enough to be worth separating it from natural gas in the majority of cases.

If the market will demand it, it will happen. For all practical purposes, helium is an infinite resource on Earth. However, at a finite price, it is a scarce resource.

If you sign an employment contract that specifies you can only be fired for X and Y, and the company fires you for Z, you can sue. That doesn't mean your ongoing relationship is a right, it means one party didn't live up to the contract.

A few days ago some people on this forum were arguing that H2 is safe, just has an unfair reputation, and is a suitable replacement for gasoline.

Well, is safety's not a concern, then for many applications H2 is a suitable or superior alternative to He that is abundant and renewable.

More lift

More heat transport

Faster c

Only 10K higher Tb

Unless you're dealing with unsaturated carbohydrates easy win!

Heck, at work we are trying to retrofit our He system to run on H2 to get a massive performance boost (my idea) and ditch the He recycling system.

You wouldn't believe the pushback I got! Eventually we realized we couldn't hit the performance metrics without H2, but these folks were all upset about H2 heated to 800K. Cowards.
The degree to which Walmart enthusiastically links things via payment cards has me considering going back to cash when I shop there. The first time I saw a series of in-store purchases unexpectedly show up in my walmart.com account history, I was not particularly happy.
everyone in this chain is forgetting to mention a core design principal of Ruby.

Matz wants a principal of least surprise. That doesn't mean _your_ least surprise as a non-Ruby programmer, or someone with passing familiarity with the language. It means the least surprise of someone who has worked with the language for years. What Matz has said is that C++ continues to surprise him years and years in, and he _didn't_ want that to be the case for Ruby.
I agree it’s not always an option. My point is that cutting out family isn’t so much a solution as it is the least bad of what may be worse options.

> "Balloon Grade" Helium represents a slightly impure Helium. While there is no scientific definition of this quality, it is often accepted that the purity of "Balloon Grade" Helium is around 99%

https://www.quantum-technology.com/recover/balloon-grade-hel...

Sounds high, but not pure enough for MRI applications, and it isn't currently economical to reliquefy without shipping it to a processor.

> Manufacturers have stated that this wasted helium is considered a ‘recycled product’ as it would have been lost to the environment had it not been captured and re-purposed. If the balloon market demand declined, manufacturers would have to re-evaluate other markets and consider the possibilities of re-liquefying it. Re-liquefying is currently considered uneconomical from the locations of where the filling application take place.

Yes, the theory is that IC3/4 cost more than they produce. That being said it's really not that hard to advance at these junior levels, very little to do with politics and very much to do with becoming a competent and independently-productive engineer.
There’s a difference between them having a record of your purchase and them accessing that record for business analysis reasons. If Walmart operated a medical clinic, would you comfortable with their corporate data scientists accessing your health records?
As of late, I have started to look at the ingredients of many of the foods I consume, here in India, and it deeply saddens me that most consumers stuff themselves with such ultra-processed chemical laden, taste and mind altering foods.

I had to struggle a bit, but I have been able to wean off my kid from these foods and started making a lot of them at home.

My next target is to get a cold press machine and make the oils used for cooking at home too.

His point is that more of it floats away naturally or as a result of CH4 extraction than we care to collect primarily because its not economically viable to collect.

Ozempic purchases happen to also be correlated with rising prices, though.

Inflation fluctuates constantly. Mortgage rates are fixed for 15-30 years, unless one makes the mistake of getting a variable rate loan.
inlined into a vector

I'm not sure what this means.

My point was that a vector is like an arena but better in practicality because if someone is 'allocating' from an arena, they are then storing that pointer somewhere. In a vector you can store the index somewhere, but you have the much better option of looping through everything and dealing with it contiguously instead of dealing with each element in some isolated way.

Also a lot of arena implementations are basically linked lists inside a vector and freeing up the memory means jumping around in memory while dereferencing the pointers to unwind the individual allocations. The advantage is that you can free individual cells of the arena, but the cost of allowing that fragmentation is high. It's much better to avoid that and with hundreds of millions of elements it's likely that the data should be dealt with by just allocating huge chunks of memory and looping through them.
Many people who are taking ozempic are not doing it with a prescription. That would not generally be covered by insurance.

Edit: I meant off-label, not without a prescription. Same treatment by insurance.
I don't take it but my wife does. I saw a reduction in our spending almost immediately because she's bringing home less from the grocery store and no longer interested in eating out. I've saving money even after our out of pocket costs (insurance covers none of this for us) and I have a happier wife.
Not Ozempic, but same class drug. I am extremely lucky to have zero side effects, not everyone does, so understand what you could be in for. My experience isn't your experience. TANSTAAFL.

That said...pre-diabetic symptoms (genetic predisposition included) gone based on blood sugar readings. Lost a life-changing amount of weight over several months (i.e. it's not a 'loose 20 lbs in a week' weight loss drug unless you're using it in an very unhealthy way). Subjectively, cravings heavily reduced. Doc says blood work going in the right direction. So I can say cautiously it's a net win.
That's mostly because it never was a true democracy but something closer to a kleptocracy.

Poland went through roughly the same process but came out much better simply because the Polish people weren't the aggressor, Russia was. And that's why they felt liberated and motivated to make a change. But Russia wasn't liberated, it's just that you exchanged one batch of fat cats for another. Democracy had nothing to do with it, that's just a tool in the box.
Our least favourite x86 instruction
Of course it's going to happen. Read The New Digital Age by Eric Schmidt. He talks a lot about how all the information Google records about you is permanent, can never be deleted, and any generation of lawmakers can decide to do whatever they want with it. Upcoming generations are going to want as much data as possible to train AIs, especially as the GPUs needed to do that become more affordable. You know how historians are always talking about what famous dead people wrote in their diaries and personal letters? Don't think for a moment that future generations won't do this to you.
Close to 3gb, however many that is in the various database formats I have yet to merge and make sane. That’s 20 years worth and few duplicates. My safari bookmarks alone started breaking iCloud last year, engineering team whoever that is can’t fix it reliably as the issue is ticketed if I ever complain and weeks of follow up result in the cloud database maintenance and sync malfunctioning.

I don't know if this is the only reason, but superconuctors have a critical magnetic field that is also related to temperature (higher temp = lower magnetic field). So even if a material is superconducting at liquid nitrogen temperature, that doesn't mean it can produce a strong enough magnetic field for an MRI at that high a temp.
> Even if you think something is ugly, why not acknowledge the fact that some might consider it beautiful?

I do. I was checking to see whether my parent really meant to include Cybertrucks among things of beauty. I didn't say that they were wrong—I think I made my point of view implicitly clear, but also said, in a reply https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39081204 to cs702's reply https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39080900, that my opinion was of no relevance to whether they found it beautiful.

Or maybe you mean, why even go so far as to ask the question?—but, well, this is a discussion board, the topic under discussion is specifically whether everything is ugly, and Teslas were advanced contra that thesis, so it seemed relevant!
Complete finger in the wind guess: Someone in the HarmonyOS post mentioned Wind River Linux next to RTLinux about an hour before this was posted. A lot of people remember Wind River from VxWorks but I'm not sure as many realized they moved on to real time Linux many years ago. Someone saw, posted. That or simply coincidence for the same reason :).

Also the HN title is actually edited and accidentally implies the wrong thing. Wind River Linux is a source only solution which has been around ages while what this page actually links to ,Wind River Linux Distro (launched in 2022), is a binary distro for certain platforms. Finger in the wind guessing says probably not the intended reason for posting given the title messes up the distinction though.

No, otherwise the title would be "75% of cancers are tamed."

It may be that deactivating the protein doesn't cure the cancer. Or it may be that it's infeasible to synthesize a delivery mechanism. Or it may be that the treatment causes significant side effects.

I thought He is mostly alpha-radiation capturing a few electrons. I.e. that it is produced by radio isotope reserves and escapes no matter what one does. And not that it was in big pockets of pre-existing gas that one is exhausting.

So it may have different consequences than other resources.
Professor Daniel Abadi makes a similar point in his paper [1], where he improves on CAP with PACELC -- if there is a partition (P) how does the system tradeoff between availability and consistency (A and C); else (E) when the system is running as normal in the absence of partitions, how does the system tradeoff between latency (L) and consistency (C)?. (From his blog here: [2]).

Klepmann makes an interesting critique [3], that neither is particularly useful because both imply that you must either pick linearizability or total availability. When in practice, there have been plenty of successful databases that present neither characteristic, and thus are neither CP nor AP.

What you are saying is that helium is not gravitationally bound to Earth. That is correct.

But even if it were, it would not make any difference. Any gas that leaks in the atmosphere is economically lost. Take Neon. I just googled and found out that liquid neon is a cryogenic refrigerant (like liquid helium). Do you think the neon lost through leaks can be recovered any more than the helium lost through leaks?

That was the old "move fast and break things" NASA.
That's when they resort to the bribery which they call rent control. Instead of building more housing, they give existing tenants (who can vote in the jurisdiction) lower rents than prospective tenants (who can't). Which moves enough tenants to the other side of the ballot to keep the construction restrictions in place, and further reduces the incentive for new construction, raising long-term rents even more.

Prohibiting rent control at the state level would be a great move because economists broadly agree that it's a terrible idea and then you get all the previously paid off tenants whose rent would increase clamoring for other measures to get housing costs down and increase the incentive for new construction. (Many other states sensibly already prohibit it at the state level.)

I jumped on the whole overemployed bandwagon quickly in late 2020, but then after getting my 3rd job, I found myself being burned out every other week from just juggling the responsibilities. I did hold on, because financially, that really set me straight! I got laid off twice, left one company by myself. Now I am an independent contractor for 2 clients, and it feels similar, but with none of the stress. Still funny to think back that in the overemployed discord there where people with 5 or 6 jobs. And some even claiming to have more, its hard to believe, but I am sure that if I kept interviewing and just accepting all the jobs left and right there would really be no limit. The requirement to be hired at a lot of places was just to have a LinkedIn with the right keywords.
Could totally be creepy. But could also totally be a survey. Those are still probably pretty cheap to run on something like Walmart+ delivery customers.

Sigh, we buy their compilers for our clients on a monthly basis because the PPC and ARM support in GCC and Clang is still quite primitive.
