As someone that has asked a lot more (quite good) questions on SO, than has given answers, and almost all my SO rep. is based on those questions, I can report that my experience has been that I've been treated somewhat barbarously, by high-score mods. Just the mere fact that I was asking a question, made me "lesser," in their eyes. This could be rather infuriating, because I actually sorta know my stuff. One of the things that I know, is that I don't know a lot of stuff, and appreciate finding out, from folks that do.

For that reason, I learned to bite my tongue, when they sneered, and appreciated the answer, which was often quite good.

I haven't really done much there, in years. I still get upvotes for my questions, years after I wrote them. At some point, people just stopped answering my questions, and I usually ended up posting my solution, when I figured it out on my own.

I feel that Quora has turned into the same thing that LinkedIn Groups have become: A haven for ad-scammers and "SEO" people.

One of the things that happens on both platforms, is that someone asks a specific question, and ignores sincere, legitimate answers, but rewards the "shill" "answers," where a particular product is recommended as the "solution."

I dumped every LI group, after encountering these folks, and I never really warmed to Quora, because, I guess, I came late to the party, after these people had started their games. I realized the platforms were worthless to me.

I won't go, where I'm not wanted.

I can't imagine getting paid for either answers or questions. They both take so much time and brainpower, that I can't believe that the income would be at all worthy of the effort. I think that SO actually did a good job on "gamifying" the Q&A process. I may have issue with the inevitable status games, but I learned to just keep my peace, and appreciate the help.

That only amounts to log2(C(128, 8)) ~= 40.3.

> No. To float you would need a gas lighter than hydrogen, which isnt a thing.

The atmosphere gets denser further down. You just need a negative pressure vessel, or to heat the hydrogen, like a hot air balloon. At 1 (Earth) atmospheric pressure the gravity of most Gas giants is quite low.

There's a pretty direct tradeoff between BOM cost of an ARM microcontroller and ROM/RAM. ESP is a little different with external spi flash, but the tradeoff is mostly there still. So there's a lot of pressure in product development to keep technical costing down by using C/Assembly and choose technologies like UDP vs TCP or CBOR/Binary protocols vs JSON.
There's no "walled garden" here. We want Pkl to be useful for many developers, for a variety of purposes. Hopefully that's clear enough with Java, Kotlin, and Go being amongst the various supported language bindings. We also already support Linux, and plan on supporting Windows.

> The car was an old shitbox so I only carried liability. Now I'm just without a car. I briefly looked into getting a newer car now that I make a lot more money, but the premiums are just eye watering.

Carrying only liability insurance continues to be cheap even in California. The problem with getting a newer car is that either the lender requires more expensive insurance to protect an asset that they partially own, or most people have emotional attachment to a new car so they don't want to carry just liability insurance. That's why premiums are eye watering. It's difficult for most people to fathom buying a $50k car (about average new car price) and say they don't want to protect it.

> To say nothing of other cost inflating phenomena like the increasingly proprietary design and overengineering of cars that are totaled by a fender bender.

I looked into this and this is actually a trade off between cost to repair and cost to manufacture. Newer car designs like Tesla's "gigacasting" simplify manufacturing because they can use one machine to make one large part, whereas in a conventional car the equivalent might be 100 parts welded together by humans or robots. Even when welded by robots, it is much more time-consuming and lowers throughput in production. Thus, auto makers consciously choose manufacturing techniques to lower the selling price of the car, knowing that they are increasing the price of any repair.

If intentional fraud can be proven (not just mistake or incompetence; doctored figures seem like sufficient evidence as that doesn't happen accidentally) the author should face jail time.
The flagged dead article from The Verge How bad is Tesla’s hazardous waste problem in California? covered the absurd ridiculous grotesqueriees at stake here well. Tesla basically appears to have made zero effort to dispose of hazardous waste with even a modicum of care. They just piled whatever they had up, and contacted waste disposal companies, without a lick of concern. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39241424 https://www.theverge.com/2024/2/3/24058476/tesla-hazardous-w...

But the utterly toothless lack of even a modest fine, these insultingly pathetic fines? Part of a hideous pattern. The pattern of the state doing nothing of consequence was very well covered by an earlier submission: It's the Impunity, Stupid. Tesla has been a chronic offender for years, but even after facing & being fined a token amount for dozens of Clean Air Act regulations, their number of violations go up and up. https://niedermeyer.io/2024/02/02/its-the-impunity-stupid https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39235146

This company has never faced consequences. This is the latest insult to the world, the latest display that this company can do whatever it wants and face zero consequences. Tesla is literally letting arsenic & gasoline & worse at horrific rates into the water and this shitty zero-consequences slap on the wrist is all government has? How have things been left to go so completely off the rails, fallen to such Captain Planet level supervillainy, and how is the state doing basically nothing to correct this?
I think a lot of the complaints around the eye tracking stuff is skill issue — it’s brand new device, people have very few hours of experience. I picked mine like 6 hours ago, and my first session I struggled with targeting, but I spent another couple hours with it pretty much just moving windows around and cleaning the house, and now it’s feeling much more precise. Practice.
The quote that I think most people will be interested in:

“ Curcumin doesn’t work well as a therapeutic agent for any disease. Though it is safe for human consumption in most forms and will show activity in essentially any in vitro assay you throw at it (via a process known as assay interference), no well-powered clinical trials have ever found it to be an effective medicine.”

According to well run studies, Turmeric does ~~nothing~~ for your ailment.
I kind of like the long click, but another thing I spent hours looking for was a way to increase the pressure needed for it. As well as to increase the haptic feedback for both kinds of clicks past the maximum setting in the system preferences. Couldn't find a way to do either. Some hacker I am.

In reading the comments, no one mentioned grandparents, which is kinda sad. In most non-Western places, it takes a village to raise to child. Something is clearly amiss here in our highly individualistic Western world, and of course, the answer would be, if I only had more money.
Since you mentioned Portugal: I was there (northern part, only as far south as Porto) in 1995 or so. It's the only place I've ever seen oxcarts on the road. I didn't have a cell phone so I don't know about phone service.

It was a very nice country and I'd love to go back, but it's still the "poor south" of Europe.

Maybe you can "leapfrog" on phone service, but there's no modernist replacement for clean water, sewage disposal, and reliable electric power.

Worth noting that the approach to ventilation of a working fire is very different in the US than it is in Europe and Australia. Here we tend to ventilate only once the fire is under control rather than during the rescue and initial attack stages. Cutting a hole in a roof to ventilate a fire is never done. Breaking a window is very rare.

Instead, we tend to stay low and manage the overpressure layer with gas cooling. Short bursts from firefighting nozzles that use a spinning element to atomise the spray. These rapidly turn to steam, pulling heat out of the room with the expansion. Precision is very important as too much water or insufficient atomisation will create a sauna, lowering the survivability of the compartment.
I took it as a supplement, mixed with piperine to help it pass into the blood stream. For me it was a mild stimulant like nicotine, without the addictive part. I was smarter and more nervous when I took it.

Those are the only effects I can personally attest to.

> the most inane bullshit questions as long as they got the views

StackOverflow fell into a similar trap with reputation on controversial or highly upvoted question farms. The problem was further compounded by a ridiculous Triage queue system that could issue account suspensions and bans for honest opinions and feedback if your answers did not align with the prevailing groupthink of a few elite arbiters there.

Not that different from what happened somewhat to HN. Read my name backwards.
Actually, I did lose some weight over that time. Correlation may not be causation in that case.
The US used to build using brick and mortar. It was abandoned because it was unsafe, most of those buildings were destroyed by environmental hazards that Europe does not have. Consequently, most housing in the US for the last century or more primarily uses wood, which does survive the hazards endemic to the US.

In most of the US, only wood or steel frame construction is safe. Wood houses last centuries.

I find it very surprising that the NSA would go to such technologically advanced lengths to block FOIA requesters from their website (which, needless to say, doesn't contain any sensitive information).
Given that any waveform can be produced out of "sine waves", we can call those events call composite sine, falling back to Hertz.

The said request most likely have originated as some sines as well, think of your phone for instance.

Seriously, though, using Hertz would be confusing to a high degree.

Yes. The people who do this and actually get far are painfully aware of the risks of cave ins. You can do a whole lot to protect yourself but it is always a danger that's looming.
It is pretty straightforward. My wife and I live in a condominium unit just east of the University District. We take the bus or walk everywhere. I'm sad the Safeway has closed, but we have easy bus access to groceries at QFC, the massive Magnuson Park, the smaller Matthews Beach park, and a short hop to the train.

I am fortunate to be able to work from home most days. I work for a medical group and we have doctor's offices across the city and King County. I can reach all but one by a one or two bus trip when I need to go, which is rare. We have friends who have moved up to Everett and it's a two bus trip to go all of the way from Magnuson Park to downtown Everett.

The only "hard" trip is to go see one of our kids who has since moved to Tacoma. We try to time it when the Sounder is running (a few mid-day trips would be great) or take Cascades if we feel like splurging.

> Call stacks are just a data structure like any other.

Call stacks are a part of the system API/ABI; your fancy ersatz stacks not so much. This is kind of a key consideration in the above analysis. The whole point of having Windows API support for fibers was to try and obviate that basic pain point, but ultimately this has been shown not to be very successful.

> Rust async functions and C++ coroutines ... only use their state machines to store local state ... that lives across suspension points.

Yes and this is briefly mentioned in that analysis as a key advantage of stackless coroutines compared to fibers. If you might call a function that requires 500k of stack, a fiber has to provide for that amount of stack space to be available; a stackless coroutine doesn't need to store the 500k of data, provided that it doesn't live across await points.
Wood is used primarily where wood is plentiful. Northern Europe uses wood to build, especially Finland. Japan uses wood to build, although they import from Canada these days. Australia also uses lots of wood.

Wood holds up better in earth quakes and tornadoes than brick, but you could probably build safe buildings with bricks in the USA, they would just cost more and require similar or more maintenance.

You're only looking at step 1.

If you recursively got everyone in dangerous areas to move, no one would live in California. If you live in a population center in California, the only reason why you aren't prone to wildfires is because of the people living around you that are.

It's a scenario where everyone paying the same actually makes sense. Your insurance is that others are accepting the risk of losing all their personal belongings or even their lives - even if insurance will cover them financially.

It's not the same as hurricanes or earthquakes.
I discovered the fog lights on my new-to-me vehicle recently and use the lower ones (the upper ones are burned out and need replacing) at night to illuminate the near road better and make it easier to see and avoid holes in the road.
May every one of us attain sufficient popularity as to attract people who blankety hate you without even bothering to supply reason or argument. May you be so popular & doing such good things people feel the need to downvote everything they see about it on sight.

Actually personally I wish we could identify such people & ignore their votes. Actually personally I wish we could take persistent downvoters & fire them into the sun. I don't see or understand why anyone would let contempt so deeply into their soul. The world is no zero sum and I have little patience for those would seem to go out of their way to deny & reject others.
What is the police doing? Uninsured motorists are illegal. They could perform routine traffic stops, ask the motorist to produce insurance, and if they don't have insurance send them straight to jail. Get these people off the roads.

It should be easy for people to grok that by having a large number of uninsured motorists on the road, their own insurance premiums are increasing. Thus, people should be petitioning the police to catch more uninsured motorists. Why isn't that happening?

On rocky planets gravity doesn't get much lower in the orbits we're concerned about. For example the ISS still experiences 90% of the gravity we experience at the surface. Reaching orbit is mostly about reaching a speed where the arc in which you are falling never intersects the surface.

But you can absolutely use an aircraft to gain height and speed, and then launch a much smaller rocket from that aircraft (where the speed is the primary advantage, and is what rockets use most of their fuel for). This setup is used by Virgin Galactic's SpaceShipTwo. There is also Virgin Orbit's LauncherOne, which is a small rocket that launches from a modified Boeing 747. On Earth it's just about not worth the additional complexity, but on planets with stronger gravity but comparable access to powered flight this might be the preferred method of reaching space.

One important factor might be the speed of sound. Subsonic flight is much easier for aircraft than supersonic flight. In an atmosphere with a much higher speed of sound, like say hydrogen, aircraft could reach much higher speeds and thus would be a much more advantageous launch platform for rockets. Assuming you already solved the issue of powering those planes of course.

Four words: Academic fraud is fraud. If you accept an NIH grant to conduct a rigorous study and falsify your data, then you have defrauded the federal government. If you are a supervisor, a department head or an administrator and you turn a blind eye to implausible results and indefensible practices, then you are complicit in fraud. If your journal claims to be rigorously peer-reviewed but your reviewers are rubber-stamping papers that they haven't read, then the institutions that buy very expensive subscriptions are being defrauded.

Only in academia is fraud treated as a faux-pas rather than a crime. We have accepted a status quo in which academics and academic institutions play by a different set of rules to the rest of society. As a result, hundreds of millions of dollars are being wasted and patients are suffering real harm. Academic independence is valuable and should be protected, but independence does not mean impunity.
