In OpenStreetMap, which is the data source used by most of these navigation apps, the relevant key is traffic_calming.

I have not found any navigation app that preferentially chooses streets with traffic_calming features, such as speed humps. I recently suggested that in OSMAnd and got no traction [0].

It's all in the wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demon_core

> It required the operator to place two half-spheres of beryllium (a neutron reflector) around the core to be tested and manually lower the top reflector over the core using a thumb hole at the polar point. As the reflectors were manually moved closer and farther away from each other, neutron detectors indicated the core's neutron multiplication rate. The experimenter needed to maintain a slight separation between the reflector halves to allow enough neutrons to escape from the core in order to stay below criticality. The standard protocol was to use shims between the halves, as allowing them to close completely could result in the instantaneous formation of a critical mass and a lethal power excursion.

> Because in my head, a proper experiment has data collection and precise measurements.

In your head yes, in early nuclear science it seems protocols weren't that important as long as it went boom in the end. As with many industries, regulations are written in blood
Not super meaningful in reality - any country looking to arrest either man should tread carefully.

The American Service-Members' Protection Act authorizes the President of the United States to use "all means necessary and appropriate to bring about the release of any U.S. or allied personnel being detained or imprisoned by, on behalf of, or at the request of the International Criminal Court".

Israel is listed in the act as covered. Any means explicitly includes lethal force, which is why the act is nicknamed the "Invade the Hague" act.
To be honest, this problem is unsolvable. The only API that's closest is Google Maps, I've just accepted it and gone all-in with them.
By far the largest amount of cyclist deaths and injury are still caused by cars. The ebikes just get more news coverage because they're novel. But cars are heavier and go faster so will almost always be more dangerous to other cyclists and pedestrians.
480k per year in Europe? That's totally crazy. Where? I have never seen anyone claiming to make more than cca 200k, maybe 300k around here.
This will not amount to anything, but it's nice to know we aren't all crazy or anti-semitic for thinking the Israeli state has been acting very poorly in regards to the State of Palestine. Feels a little bit like trying to get organized crime on tax evasion.
There's a lot of light and fluffy fare in anime. Even back in the 90s when I was used to sex, violence, drama, and strong character lore in my anime, I discovered You're Under Arrest and was a bit surprised to discover that it pretty much went nowhere, just an episodic series full of funny things for the characters to do. Especially surprising for a show about police officers, which in American media usually means it's a "procedural" with particularly dangerous criminals and high stakes. But in YUA the officers mainly deal with petty criminals and get up to wacky hijinks. More recent series, like Azumanga Daioh and Lucky Star, are pretty much just schoolgirls doing cute things. And maybe that's just the energy you need sometimes rather than, say, the horror and drama of Attack On Titan.

To paraphrase Brad Bird, anime is not a genre. It's a broad art form that encompasses all genres. This is a common mistake for Western viewers of anime; even in the 90s it was marketed to us as being all dark, twisted Liquid Television stuff. But yeah, actually, most anime is created for and marketed to kids and teens. In Japan, if you're an adult consumer of anime, your peers may wonder what the hell is wrong with you and why won't you grow up. (Manga is different; plenty of manga are produced for adult consumption, and these are fairly serious in tone, and may lack the fantastic settings or big-eyed character designs Westerners associate with the medium.) Adult anime otaku in Japan are viewed with the same bemusement and contempt we might have for, say, the grown-ass men who are fans of My Little Pony. This may have changed more recently, as the Japanese government has leaned into the idea of anime and manga being important cultural exports through its "Cool Japan" publicity program.

> Redundancy is not error checking

Yes, you are right that DNA repair mechanisms are not technically error correction in the sense that the term is used in computer memory and storage, where any isolated error is mathematically guaranteed to be correctable. You clearly have a bio background, but my intent was to point out in a simplified way to non-bio people that biological systems do have mechanisms to deal with errors. I incorrectly assumed that you didn't have a bio background, and I can see that my message would have seemed a bit condescending- my apologies.

> While we haven't pinpointed the mechanism, we have a pretty good idea of why

I study metabolism and have observed things that aren’t compatible with any of the leading theories- which I suspect are all dead ends. We are definitely missing something big still. In particular, I feel like the big anti-aging startups are throwing good money after bad, by massively funding researchers with mostly played out dead end ideas. Tech billionaires funding this stuff are re-playing the same scenario as the ancient Chinese emperors and their mercury based elixirs of immortality in modern times IMO.
CBT can work, sure. It can also not work. As with any treatment.

And depression is only one mental illness, there are countless others. And there are also many different forms and causes of even depression itself.

As I mentioned in another comment, my point isn't that the article's advice is necessarily harmful, just that it oversimplifies a lot of things by assuming that all psychology can be boiled down to learning and unlearning. Ignoring the role of biology may also cause one to ignore possible paths to progress.
On the other hand, there is just so much less stuff up there, as reaching that orbit is much more expensive in terms of energy expenditure, and it's all moving in pretty much the same direction and in the same orbital plane.

So unless somebody maliciously launches e.g. a bunch of ball bearings in the same orbital plane but opposite direction, the chances of "wrecking GEO" seem much lower (although the consequences would, as you say, probably be much more severe and long-term).

The author mentions 2019. That was the year that the "Demon Core Kun" videos were put on YouTube[0]. There's no mention of them in the article, which is a bit odd. I don't know if that was the first to "memeify" the demon core, but it certainly is one of the most popular memeifications, with each of the eight videos having somewhere between three to six million views.

This also would explain the relatively large presence of anime memes in particular, since the "main" meme is a series of Japanese animations.

EDIT: knowyourmeme.com actually has an article about the Demon Core and its popularity in Japan as a meme[1]. Apparently the latter predates the Demon Core Kun series by about a year at least. Still, the latter being on YT made it a lot more accessible to non-Japanese people which might explain the spike in meme popularity in 2019.

Ask HN: How can I consistently deliver high-quality work with minimal issues?
TL;DR: What are your checklists, tips, and tricks to ensure you're delivering a high-quality piece of work (whether it's a Pull Request or something equivalent in your field)?

As a full-stack developer, I've often found myself in situations where a sprint goes wrong, and a lot of bugs are flagged by QA. It's a tough spot to be in because I genuinely put in my best effort when coding, but sometimes things just don't go as planned. It could be due to a new feature, an old legacy system, or simply a rough week—it happens from time to time (not so often, I remember like 4 moments in my 5 years of experience).
What advice do you have for maintaining consistent deliveries with minimal bugs (or equivalent failures in your area)?
But most HTTP APIs that are commonly described as REST still use those parts of REST-over-JSON-over-HTTP, even if they aren't truly RESTful.

One thing I like about gRPC is that gRPC services use a single URL. And it doesn't ask you to define your own application error codes instead overloading HTTP status codes, thereby making it harder to distinguish application errors from communication channel errors. Things like that. But it still tightly couples itself to other parts of HTTP, particularly HTTP 3. That makes it impossible to use in a straightforward way in a number of scenarios, which then gives birth to a whole mess of reverse proxy shenanigans that people get into in an effort to avoid having to implement multiple copies of the same API.
Any similar platforms using Golang?
yes, and Europe also has some extremely expensive private universities, and the US has vastly cheaper options than MIT.
Well, again, believing that modern AI is close to what human consciousness and intelligence are, or that coders will fix society without running into Chesterton's fence, are good examples of huge beliefs that require huge justification. For which faith isn't a good substitute. You shouldn't be made to feel like you're extremist in the opposite direction for requiring that justification.
> Simplicity and convenience is what people not only want, but demand.

Hmm, that is not my experience generally. People will take insanely ineffective routes if that is what the system pushes them toward, without taking much offense.

For example, on the topic of health/weight loss: Weight Watchers or yoga classes are huge industries while also being insanely elaborate and expensive ways of eating better and moving your body.

I agree with you that, for example, drugs are currently not a solution to these problems. But what I propose is: they are going to be. And they had better be because there is no other effective solution poised to work at a societal scale. We just can’t help ourselves. “Just eat the salad and walk every day” simply did not do the trick. We tried. While it works on a mechanistic level, of course, it does not work in practice. Blaming people for their inability to fight their nature is just inhumane and not how we usually progress: we fix reality for ourselves.

While it is not impossible to design a society that is healthier (see: Japan), it’s at such odds with our current culture, and societal change is slow. We should certainly get to work on this decades-long project, but we should also treat this like any other health issue that costs billions of life-years and find a more effective intervention.

I'm wondering what power does the ICC have to carry out its sentencing if the US chooses to disagree with it?

Same with The Hague court, where the US said its soldiers would be imune from standing trial for crimes.

So if these international courts are only allowed selective enforcement, what's the point of their existence? To only prosecute people the US doesn't choose to protect? Then what's the line between good guys and bad guys?
I don't think a slight increase in latency can hurt them financially in any way. From my own measurements between Hetzner's datacenters, the latency increased from 25 ms to 40 ms.

Mildly amusing to say this had a direct, measurable impact on me? Absolutely. Something to lose sleep over? Maybe in some extremely niche situations.
Right, but shouldn't distance be a critical part of such a measurement?

Like if we measure the amount of noise a device makes, we do it in a quiet room and at a standard distance. Without precision there's no useful data being generated.

So that's the part that I don't get. Shouldn't there be a screw being turned precise amounts, precisely made shims, or at least calipers be involved?

> those numbers are probably based on source code contributions

The other part of that is a "more senior developers tend to do things outside of things seen with git commit." Meetings, commenting on code reviews, and documentation are the first three "not tracked in git" that come to mind.

Other things like proof of concepts may not find their way to the actual project repos (and thus has little visibility in the report).

That said, there are certainly developers who are at the 0.1x median even when they spend their full time working on solving that problem. They just work really slowly.
I've read that and it doesn't really answer those questions. How can you measure the core's neutron multiplication rate if you're not exactly controlling the distance? Isn't the measurement going to be all over the place?

>> Remote work showing low contributions is a symptom of something else and I don't see this being addressed.

That isn't the purpose of the analysis though. The analysis just provides data that more remote workers contribute nearly zero as compared to those in office.

It seems like you are trying to explain why remote workers underperforming is an organizational problem rather than something that can be put on the workers. Which might be true, but it seems kind of like the "it's always management's fault" argument.

>> You don't know to what degree animals are conscious or control their behavior.

Just because you don't know something or even understand that it can be known, in no way limits my knowledge. It just paints yourself a confident fool who already knows it all. Sounds like a CEO, neh?

And, BTW, I do know. Also, I know that you don't know that I know, because you believe that no one can know, which is solely because you, yourself, don't know. As the Doobie Brothers sang so many years ago, "What a fool believes..."

In my humility, I say to you, "There are things you know that I do not." As well, I say to you, "There are things that I know that you do not." Now, here's the tricky bit, I know that what I know is more important than what you know.

How do I know that last, crucial, bit? Because you think there is a way to decide who gets resources and who doesn't, and that it should be based upon some value function that folks "smart" like you can determine for one and all. Pleeeaaase. I am a student of history, which is riddled with folks like you, perched upon your spire claiming to have the voice of reason to speak over your lessors. It's tired and shall not do well as this Age of Truth lurches forward.

That said, it's your choice. Every fool has chosen to be a fool. And the first step to not being a fool is having the humility to entertain the possibility that you are, indeed, a fool. Here's the secret: we all are, to some extent, but a few of have the humility and desire to escape it.

As to "coherent order", we are the only beings capable of consciously designing and creating such order, but our being slaves to our lower, selfish selves has prevented our doing so. As with all things human, the choice is ours, and the choices we have made thus far have been less than optimal.

I wonder how viable an autonomous single-container electric cargo ship would be, instead of massive ships you could have thousands of tiny ones. With automated loading/unloading it could massively simplify logistics

A solar panel covering the ship and one of those flaps to generate power from wind with a EV-scale battery could be enough for containers moving light non-time-sensitive stuff. Probably wouldn't be able to run the engine at night for long though.

Heck throw some wheels at it and fast charging at docks and it could even potentially drive down the road as a truck directly from sea.
The small SUVs tend to have smaller side blind spots, but for killing pedestrians, the important one is the front blind spot, and that is about hood height, which just keeps going up because it looks "manlier"

Deaths are also about what happens when there is contact: High hoods lead to the unfortunate pedestrian hitting their head against the pavement, followed by the car trying to go over it with all its weight. Do the same with the very heavy, but low Tesla Model 3, and the pedestrian goes over the car, which happens to be much safer. The contact with the sedan is at around knee size, many a modern American truck will hit your ribcage, which is a bit more threatening.

A car can be tall and designed to be relatively safe on impact, but it'd look like a minivan. We all know that those kept losing in the marketplace because they didn't look aggressive enough.

So the switch from sedans to small SUVs was a disaster.
> They are bigger, heavier, faster and more powerful (thanks to burning fossil fuels)

Or perhaps thanks to a DC motor and a battery? Not sure exactly why you’re singling out ICEs in this point you’re making. Would be curious to know if there is some particular reason? I’d argue EVs are more powerful on average, if not the staggering majority of cases.
