nope. about 1/3 is from energy consumption, 2/3 are due to the chemical processes involved

see Figure 1 here:

Apify Meets AI: Crafting AI with Apify for Robust NL Web Scraping
Hi HN,

This is Stefano, founder of Webtap. I'm excited to present a novel approach to web scraping that prioritizes quality over quantity by leveraging Apify's robust infrastructure. We have essentially applied AI to Apify to provide reliable, high-quality data extraction with simple natural language queries (e.g., "Restaurants in Madrid, currency in EUR, language in Spanish").

Looking forward to your feedback and thoughts!
> I can understand if CF didn't prioritize it enough to spend development resources on revoking a cert but I don't see an upside for CF to continue keeping the certificate after a customer exits.

We have no idea if cloudflare retained the cert. The blog post is just claiming that cloudflare did not revoke the certificate and instead is just letting it expire naturally. (That said, i wouldn't be surprised if they retained it)

Potential upside for cloudflare is that if the client disabled ddos protection just temporarily to test something but intends to reenable it, this allows the reenable to happen instantly (assuming they kept the cert).

NC isn't that bad compared to its peers, the territory is highly subsidised by France and had lower taxes as well to help development. The locals are all French anyways, there's no citizenship.

But that's true that there's some asymmetrical setups, the nickel mines would have died 20 years ago if it wasn't financed to keep the independentist happy. Not sure how long the French state is going to keep pouring money into that hole though.

The economics and politics actually matter! The public do not want a war, and they do not like forseeing one, they want their own pricing issues dealt with, and they have power at elections.

This is very similar to the method I use and, after conversation with him, the method Art Benjamin uses. It's trivial to do in 10 to 15 seconds, though it requires practice, a very small amount of memorisation[0], and a small amount of mental arithmetic. I use it regularly, partly to keep in practice, and partly because once you have the skill you find it's surprisingly useful.

JH Conway used a different technique[1] which I have swutch to when computing days in the current year. It's quicker and easier, but I find that it's harder to compute "The Doomsday" for other years (it's Thursday this year), so I revert to my standard method[2].

Example: Today is 2024/05/24

Years since 2012 is 12
Leap years is 12/4 = 3
Magic month number = 2
Date is 24
Add mod 7 is (12+3+2+24) = (-2)+3+2+3 = 6 = Friday

[0] A "magic number" for each month. There are mnemonics, and they can be computed from first principles if needed. It's also easy to remember a few and then compute the others.

144 : Jan, Feb, Mar
025 : Apr, May, Jun
036 : Jul, Aug, Sep
146 : Oct, Nov, Dec

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doomsday_rule

[2] All values computed mod 7. Take years since 1900. Add number of leap years since 1900 (so (YYYY-1900)/4 rounded down). Add the magic number for the month. Add the day of the month. Then Sunday=1, Wednesday=4, etc.

Because the calendar repeats every 28 years, for more recent dates you can start with 2012 instead of 1900.
No. this is not how statistics work.

survey statistics work by computing the margin of error for a specific sample size.

for example, if you toss a coin, say 10times and it shows heads 9 out of ten times, would you say "oh this was completely coincidental, you have to throew it more times before you can know!" or would you already say the coin is biased after ten tosses?

And the key thing is: there is math for that. "How probable is it that this result that I see is representative for all the possible coin tosses that I could ever make with this coin?" or, in our case here "How probable is it that the result of _these_ 6000 people here is close enough to what I'd get if I ask all Americans with a College degree?"

and let me assure you, a sample size of 6000, properly controlled for biases, gives a very representative result.

If you'd cry foul for 30 respondents, I'm with you.

but for 6000? and a professional research institute which klnows how to do their homework? nah.

If you doubt what I say here, feel free to brush up your statistics (udemy, udacity, ...) and then review the Pew methodology. I'll be curious about your findings.

You know that this is exactly how SpaceX won big? There were many a competent, credentialed people telling Musk that reusable rockets are a pipe dream, all the way to the first Falcon 9 landing and reflight. Some of them even continued giving such "competent and informed" advice for many months afterwards.

That's literally what it means, though.
The alternative (as with e.g. npm) is being tied to the hosting provider for the package ecosystem. If you want to, you can use your own domain name for your Go package URL and then link it to a repo hosted elsewhere. There's really no namespace on the internet that you have a more permanent claim on than a domain that you yourself have registered.
I mean, if that is the concern, maybe don't give them a cert in the first place.

The nebulous space the Brown dwarf occupies in terms of classification is fascinating to say the least. I'm a passing not even hobbyist on the subject but that they glow but not like that is really interesting.

When I think of the brown dwarf I am also reminded of the hypothesized black dwarf. This would be the stage after white dwarf. It's hypothesized because it takes longer for the white dwarf bodies to cool than exists presently in the history of the universe. It's only a handful of sentences and will largely repeat the previous paragraph but there's the wiki page for black dwarf.

Why technology has not transformed building
There's some sort of r/k selection effect happening here; modern aircraft have been getting more and more sophisticated to improve survivability, which raises their cost, so there are fewer of them. Things like the stealth bombers are at the far end of that curve.

(the logical end point of that thought process is some kind of Space Battleship Yamato scenario where the designers produce an "invincible" design, but only one of it. Hopefully real planners can be dissuaded from that nonsense, although the Axis were prone to this way of thinking)
When I became a lead dev, one of the first issues I had was a 55 y/o dev who begrudgingly adopted git but consistently included commits like: “Monday morning commit”, “changed some things”, “commit”. He also refused to delete issue template examples and included it all with his own additions.

In the entire time we worked together over a few years, he refused to adapt to the rest of the team.

We did exactly this for Nameplanet in'99. Started with plain Maildir, the added more info in the filename as new mails were found, or status changed.

We finally added a cache of some data in a dot-file (that'd just get blown away and recalculated if it failed a format check).

It made a very slightly enhanced POP3 server sufficient for a web frontend with good performance.

But all the changes to the Maildir was optional - any software that didn't support it could still operate on them and the missing bits would just get recreated.
> I wonder, though, if having hundreds of investments that are lacking in due diligence is itself evidence of fraud that could justify some recapture.

I just think the Quinn Emanuel law firm just charge a too high hourly rate to justify investigating each investment that was less than $5M. I wonder if they open sourced the data (with a bounty) someone would find some returns.

"Finally, Quinn Emanuel worked with Alvarez & Marsal to summarize basic information
regarding the remaining, smaller Venture Book investments, i.e., those under $5 million. Quinn Emanuel did not investigate each of these investments, reasoning that the cost of such investigations relative to their limited value would not be accretive to the bankruptcy estates.
These investments totaled approximately $286 million, making up approximately 4.8% of the Venture Book’s total value."

Reading the article, I wandered into the difference of Old Style and New Style dates and what happened in 1752.

From [1]: By the 18th century, the English legal year – used for legal, financial and other civil purposes – had for centuries begun on 25 March, or Lady Day.[13][i] Thus, for example, 24 March 1707 was immediately followed by 25 March 1708, while the day following 31 December 1708 was 1 January 1708, with 1709 still nearly three months away.

Thank goodness that happened.

Worse product? What other android phones do you mean? Sony? I used to buy Sony long time ago and I did like it, but around the time of Galaxy S8 I switched when my Xperia 3 unglued by itself in my pocket. None of my Samsung phones experienced any such failures. All were cheaper than equivalent Sony products.

And I wasn't very gentle with them. All my phones have huge gauges in their metal casings after years of use and I replaced them only after I broke the screen after few years.

Also, I've been using the hardware to it's limit with gaming, GearVR and own apps (running RealESRGAN directly on a Samsung s8 for example).

So hardware wise I'm very happy with Samsung(except part availability). Software - wise the preloaded apps are not bad. I've never used Bixby, but I do use the gallery and the video editor all the time(including slomo and super slomo) . Whenever I use a different android phone I miss these and more feature.

Also I have lots of sideloaded apps from the net and others such as a full blown Linux OS app running real python scripts etc.Once upon a time I tried apple. All the limitations made me dislike it a lot.

So what else is there better than samsung in android? Google? I never tried their phones because of the prices.

> it's probably not career-ending to take a few year break but I don't know much about this anecdotally

This is true.

A fair while back I left database and dev work for a few years. Tried my hand at kitchen design and sales, loading trucks, ISP tech support, chicken farming, builder's merchant sales counter, call centre night manager, farm labourer, collections agent, and more.

Loved it all, but my motivation was to experiment to see if the tech world was just my default or something I truly enjoyed. Turned out it was the latter so I returned to it.

Initially I was down about 20% on salary on my return to the industry, but a couple of years sorted that out and early employers seemed to appreciate the more rounded real-world experience.

Cathartic. Though I wouldn't do it again now I have a wife, mortgage, and dog to support.
Amazing how this comment is diametrically opposed to the truth :) It's in fact the very contrary! "Drilling maths" into kids is how you get everyone except the most pre-disposed to "hate maths" with a passion. Because they grow up thinking mathematics is deathly boring busy work of repeating the same busy-work ad nauseum. Teaching rote memorization is useless and wastes time that could better be used exploring ideas and concepts and abstractions and all that makes mathematics beautiful.

I don't think it's a trivial thing as vanity though it would be a convenient culprit. Instead, I believe what makes more sense is endorsement and one's right to their likeness. If the person had merely sounded similar it probably wouldn't be an issue. Rather it seems to be that in each case the party caught out seems to have intentionally sought to convince people that she endorsed the product and/or may have been financially tied.

This is a very cool discovery, but it's not like "used cement" ends up in landfills today.

Most cement ends up as concrete.

Crushed concrete of various sizes is a valuable aggregate used as a cheaper alternative to crushed stone for road building etc.

In my area any time I see an ad selling crushed concrete it's gone by the time I ring. Perhaps because we have clay and sand soils around here there is a permanent shortage of such things.

My use case is when the drivers don't work setting up a Ubuntu PC rather than high speed gaming. The dongle is always lost so the charging cable is always going to be helpful.

I'm a simple man, I experiment a lot, I create a module locally and bam, straight from the beginning I have to decide where I will host this module and very often I don't want to make it public so I only keep it locally on my machine, but often I need to share my module among my several machines (laptop, mini desktop) but I still don't want to share with github publicly and it's annoying that there is no easy way to do this AFAIK. In a better world I would create a "module" in a folder, give it a symbolic name at most (like 'ShinyModule') and share it in various ways; like I could share the folder using samba, ftp, ftps, sftp, https and in the consuming side, you would just import 'ShinyModule' and have a single file per consuming module which says:

'ShinyModule' https://github.com/shinyAuthor/ShinyModule or

'ShinyModule' ../../ShinyModule or

'ShinyModule' \\something\something\ShinyModule

and if there is no 'download' description for an import, the default should be ..\ShinyModule relative to the current/importing module

My biggest issue with this isn't that it's pretty much parroting a knock-knock joke as a factual account. One is that it actually has no idea how to reach a factual answer - it's not digesting source data and filtering it to match the request, it's just restating the first search result as fact. My other problem is that it only seems to care about the first search result. It can't summarise the first 20, 50, 100 results and find what's consensus, what's disputed, etc.
