I would definitely suggest at least getting a consult from a lemon law lawyer if it's been in the shop this much. Especially if you also have buyer's remorse.

See what needs to happen to qualify, document what's already happened, and get an idea of the process and recent interactions between your lawyer and the specific manufacturer.

I had a probable lemon on a new model that I didn't do that for because we liked it despite its faults, and some of the early problems reasserted themselves before (after warranty) engine problems led me to get rid of it. I regret not pursuing a lemon law return and replacing it with a later in production model. Might have still ran into early engine troubles, but they probably figured out how to apply paint in the meantime.
The interesting thing here is that nobody writes chinese one character at a time with pinyin; you almost always type out an entire phrase in pinyin, and usually there's only one meaningfully correct combination of those sounds in terms of characters and meaning (that's how the listener can tell what you're saying, after all, when listening) which will be the first choice in your input software (input software traditionally gives you a first choice with what it thinks the entire phrase is, and gets shorter with the 2nd choice onwards to partially match a phrase.)

The problem is not that people can't recognise the words; it's that we can't write them if given pen a paper. If the phone gets it wrong you just choose the nth choice instead of the first.
OK, so it's not a feature of mainstream JPEG XL implementations.

Sure, here's a USDA article referring to the "1984 Food Guide Pyramid" where it states cereals should be whole grain (see p38: https://www.ers.usda.gov/webdocs/publications/42215/5831_aib...)

As for whole grains vs fruit vs vegetables, here's a SR and MA of studies looking at different food groups and the RR of all cause mortality: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S000291652...

Three servings of whole grains per day: 0.79 (21% reduction in ACM)
Three servings of vegetables per day: 0.89 (11% reduction in ACM)
Three servings of fruit per day: 0.90 (10% reduction in ACM)

So the evidence seems to support the suggestion that consumers should focus on whole grain consumption as a base for their diet.
That is the great news I needed today.

It is sobering to know that humanity is continuing to make wholesale mistakes that are only offset by a wonderful minority. You could be the next person to save a different Flip.

The idea is the important part. The details (wiring schematics and so on) are not. The cost of solar is rapidly approaching where you’re prepaying for your energy for the rest of your life with a few thousand dollars. You can get solar panels for 10 cents/watt today, for example. That price will potentially continue to decline (historically, price has declined ~20% for every global doubling of PV manufacturing capacity).

churchill’s comment provides a similar example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41965228 (2.7 year payback in Nigeria, cheaper per kWh than utility rate of 12 cents/kWh)

The engineering of energy abundance and democratization of energy globally continues. That’s the story.

Why not have the panels disconnect themselves in this case? Is this too small an expense to justify the cost of additional hardware to manage switching on and off?
> because unlawful mixed race couplings can always drive over the state lines somewhere

What I said:

Driving over state lines is an unreasonable burden to getting married. Don't put words in my mouth please.

I also said:

> banning same-sex marriage...takes away the dignity and respect of same-sex marriages and couples, so it's quite awful

That's why it's important to read a whole comment.

I wish the Respect for Marriage Act actually forced states to legalize same-sex marriage. But we should give thanks that it exists, because the worst states can do now is insult same-sex couples. That's quite a difference compared to abortion.
I'm always a bit skeptical of these cutting salt will reduce deaths a lot arguments. They seem to go:

Salt raises blood pressure. High blood pressure is associated with heart attacks. Therefore salt bad.

But it could be the bad high blood pressure is caused by clogged arteries, not salt. I'm not sure if studies have ruled that out?

A couple of minor points:

Salt tastes good. We have evolved in salty conditions like by the sea for millions of years. If it was that bad you'd think evolution would have put us off it.

This article is suggesting the Chinese eat too much salt which is unhealthy, they should cut back, but if you look at Chinese cultures outside of China you find:

Hong Kong - #1 life expectancy in the world 85.5 years

Singapore - #4 life expectancy 83.74 years

compare with USA where they faff around with tasteless salt reduced food:

USA - #55 life expectancy 79.3 years

Figures from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_life_expe...

I know there are other factors like obesity in the US and China had various communist horrors, but it's not really selling me on the no salt thing.

Okay but what are the numbers per population? If you include 80% of the world population in south it's quite unsurprising that they constitute a large part of the emissions.

Besides, the debt is something accumulated over time. Even if the emissions of India are large today they were much lower 40 years ago, while European emissions were probably larger at that time.
One idea I've read in the works of Ivan Illich (among others) is that the best thing we could do for developing countries that struggle with corruption is to leave them the hell alone when it comes to financial matters (aside, perhaps, from canceling their World Bank debts, which often come from loans made to past corrupt governments and for which the people are unjustly held accountable) and let them sort their problems out. Injecting money, even with the best of intentions, tends to make things worse when there are already structural problems.

> I thought we established right away that it's not a single tower.

Where did we say that? The first picture on the Wikipedia page shows the tower as a linear stack of items from set theory. The Scheme predicates are named similarly. This is the appealing myth.

> The description in the wikipedia page is two towers with links between them.

Not on the page I'm seeing. Are you reading the English page? At the bottom, I see a tree of abstract types (sets).

This shows that you can traverse (Integer to Rational to Real) and (Float to Real) to find the common abstract type Real. But there isn't actually a Real type you can do operations with. You've got concrete BigInt and Float64, and even if Real is implemented as a C-style tagged-union of the two types, you still need to pick one or the other for doing operations like addition. Then the Scheme standard says stuff like, "try to be exact when you can, but inexact is ok sometimes". So all the set theory justification is out the window, and it's really just an ad hoc rule.

It's just not as elegant as it seems, and it gives an unsound justification to making implicit conversions.

> If you just don't like the name "Tower" then okay I agree I guess?

Please don't do that. I've tried to clarify details in response to your questions, but if you're just going to dismiss it with some snarky crap like that then you can go fuck yourself.

Reply if you want, but I'm guessing we're done here.
Epigenetics is about regulating gene expression. That is, controlling which of the many genes in the organism's genome actually get "printed out" into actual proteins in a given situation).

Every cell, after all, contains the entire DNA library of the organism, but not every cell needs all of those proteins, and they must not all simply be made into proteins constantly.

It's a little bit like preprocessor directives ("if we're on x86, compile this bit; if we're on ARM, compile that bit").

Transcription and translation turns DNA into protein, in my analogy this is the compilation step.
I lived in a haunted house with my parents. My dad is atheist and the most skeptic person I know. When we moved to this old house they fixed the roof and found jars with newspapers and hair inside. Apparently the woman and daughter that lived there practiced witchcraft.

My mother loved to go out with my aunts on weekends. One night while I was sleeping my father heard sounds of high heels in the corridor that had wooden floor. He got out of the room to check whether my mom had returned. There was no one. Being a skeptic he will never tell you that was a ghost.

At another time I was feeling depressed and laying on my bed on a side. Windows closed. I felt this kind of "slow wind" touching my arm. I actually felt better right after that.

And I also witnessed a nasty accident while watching thru the window that's probably too much for HN audiences.

As for a detector, get depressive people inside the house and examine what happens to them.
The money is not actually missing*.

Oxfam attempted to add up all the numbers in various PDFs linked on the World Bank's website and got a total that's less than the headline figure in the World Bank's press releases. (See the actual report at https://oxfamilibrary.openrepository.com/bitstream/handle/10...)

Some of that is probably missing data and some of it reflects that headlines like "USA donates 1 billion" don't actually always result in the US making a bank transfer for a billion dollars. For example sometimes it's a simplification of a complicated loan.

Your comment reflects a common misconception about audits. When the books don't add up that doesn't show that money is actually missing.

I don't love analogies to personal finance but a better one would be to suppose you asked a random US citizen what they spent money on last month and then compared it to their bank account. They'd probably be wrong, and you probably wouldn't have enough information to know exactly how wrong they were because they didn't save all their receipts and so on.

*edit: this report provides no evidence money is missing. to be fair it doesn't disprove missing money either

You are correct, I had to do a bit of research. Because Chrome even explicitly states that traffic to a site with an expired certificate is unencrypted. But I guess that's mostly to scare you, because the truth is that it just opens you up to potential MitM attacks and other similar issues with regular ole HTTP, but traffic between you and an unverifiable identity is at least TLS encrypted.

Set aside LLMs, why does mutation testing need to be fast? It would be fine to have mutation tests run slowly, out-of-band of the main CI pipeline. They aren't mission critical, they're smoke tests for your unit tests.

Also you only need to generate a set of mutations for any particular unit once, and then again when the test code or the code under test changes.
Yea but the list of sources accepted is itself editorialization. And furthermore the articles are unbalanced and incomplete on anything controversial, choosing to quote from sources supporting the view espoused and ignoring others.

Agree that the wholesale demonisation of fats was a massive failure of policy. Doubly frustrating because this was known - Ancel Keys' hypothesis was always about saturated fat specifically, and the Keys equation he devised showed the beneficial effects of PUFA. So mainstream nutrition science was on the money, but policy makers and companies less so.
This seems like a problem that should be relatively easy to solve with technology.
What's wrong in surge pricing (aka dynamic pricing)? Isn't all pricing dynamic and based on supply and demand? This is just changing the frequency of the price update.
What counts as a "visual stimulus" is unclear to me. Does it mean a static object, as opposed to a blank surface or something that moves, and if it is something that moves, does it move predictably (ex: a rotating fan) or not (ex: a notification).

It is kind of obvious that stimuli like notifications are disruptive, but less so in the other cases.

As with all Wikipedia competitors, this misses two key points

Firstly the most critical part of competing with WP is not the technology, it's having the critical mass of people willing to write article. Scandals aside over decades hundreds of thousands of people have built out the content and continue to do so - that is not easy to emulate.

Also for all the scandals, the toughest problems in WP early days were spammers and trolls. Moderation is a niche community problem (which till you have a community is moot). Stopping bot armies and countless trolls is a day 1 issue.

In the context of the union query, I think it makes sense. The query takes two different columns (with two different names) from the same table, and combines them together into one column. The TS error happened because the column names didn't match between the two union inputs. But they would never match without the "as".
It's insane the way that browsers shit the bed if there's any issue with the certificate.

Ask HN: What ways are business dba (doing business as) names used?
This isn't a "how do I do it" question - it's more looking for experience, personal or professional, on how you've seen dba's being used. I'm personally interested in analogues/how other countries handle this but believe the location/scope to be USA-specific. To explain the question, it seems like a dba can serve different functional purposes:

For example, a business formed under the name "Acme Coder LLC" may claim and utilize the dba "Acme Coder" just so they can drop LLC for signage/ads etc.

But a dba can also be used for industry-purpose naming, e.g. "Acme Coder LLC" wants to diversify and offer design services so they register and utilize the dba "Acme Coder and Designer".

As I understand it there is no limit to the number of dba's a business can register and utilize. In theory, there's nothing stopping, "Acme Coder LLC" from also registering and utilizing "Acme Pizzeria".

So just curious if there are any interesting or notable usages of dbas anyone has. Or if a dba is purposed to offer a new product etc.

This question is just coming from an angle of personal and professional curiosity. A current tech example of how this topic comes up may be the company that sells the Rabbit r1 - believe coffeezilla mentioned something like the company was previously named and operated-as a crypto company before pivoting.

Finally, it seems reasonable an entrepreneur would establish "Acme Parent Company LLC" as a main business and pursue different ventures through dba's such as "Acme Venture" and "Acme Venture 2" - is this actually done?

Thanks for any commentary or discussion on the topic.
This is cool, and I wish I had a setup like that, but the premise seems a bit hollow. Do they grow all the food they consume? What about the energy needed to produce the electric car, host the Substack? What about when they get sick? Do they stay off-grid, or do they go to a modern hospital, which can only exist because of urban industrial buildup.

It’s cool to live off grid, but solarpunk-libertarianism is a vibe, not a meaningful policy direction for modern society

I don't know why this story is suddenly making waves among Democrats, except as a sign of their desperation.

I don't think it will have the slightest effect on the election result: people who were willing to vote for a serially bankrupt convicted fraudster and sexual predator, aren't suddenly going to say "oh no, Dems say the world's richest man (who isn't even on the ticket) worked illegally, let me switch my vote to the Indian lady!"
Utilities should charge a separate connection fee and per-kWh rate if that's what matches the economic reality of their business. I don't see the summer abundance as an issue. It means we get to shut off the fossil fuels 8 months out of the year. The remaining 4 months, everyone pays a little more per kWh, averaging out to the same cost over a full year. What's not to like?
