mmHg is reasonably common because that's how the first pressure gauges worked, and measuring how much a pressurized gas or liquid can move mercury against gravity is easy and reliable enough that this style stayed in use for 300 years [1]. But 0.8mmHg isn't a very impressive number, so at some point someone got the bright idea to use mmH₂O instead.

It's already a common grounds for a malpractice suit. In a lot of cases these will be handled by the attorneys insurance and will probably be settled.

I don’t think it’s branding when you’d need several other changes to achieve similar effects.

Currently the government is effectively boosting workers past the minimum wage, because we’ve set the acceptable standard of living above minimum wage. However, we reduce benefits as wages increase which means workers have reduced incentive to seek minor changes in wages.

This system partially reverses that effect. A company paying an extra 1$ out of pocket increases the wages of a worker by 1.3$/hour so when they lose 0.3$/h in benefits they still see 1$/hour in higher wages. (Numbers are illustrative not necessarily how it would be implemented.)

PS: Think of it like having both a minimum wage and universal healthcare, in such a system there’s no penalty to higher wages.
Sorry the department of government efficiency just fired the department capable of doing that.
I suppose I don't know for sure. But normal forms prevent false data creation and data loss, and I know their db was not normalized from conversations with their IT support, so it's a pretty good guess.
Managing risk is more complex than just prevention by technical means.

First you try to quantify the likelihood. For major email providers my estimation is the likelihood is actually quite low. Hundreds of millions of people have Gmail accounts and use them everyday. Same with Yahoo, Microsoft, etc. The vast, vast majority of people who use these services do not get locked out.

In terms of prevention, understand what the service provider considers risky and compartmentalize. My personal Gmail accounts do not touch stuff that Google considers sensitive, like Ads or payments or IP (e.g. uploading to YouTube). For that work, I use other accounts. My professional Google accounts are tied to my work email domain, not Gmail.

Finally, understand what recovery looks like. Seems like people often forget or underappreciate recovery (vs prevention). I use a password manager so I don’t need live access to email to log in. And for important services I log in regularly and/or use apps so chances are I’m authenticated right now. So in all those cases if I lost one email address, I could change to another in my account.

And for anything truly important, like financial, I have others ways of contacting them. If I get locked out of Gmail I can still call my bank or broker, etc and re-establish access with a new email.
I prefer our current system over the industry standards exam system you seem to be advocating for. It’s more flexible. Different companies care about different things. Different employees have different strengths. It all works out.

I wouldn't presume to psychoanalyze people I don't know. Perhaps you're right, or perhaps you're wrong, but in any case you wouldn't know unless you asked why and the OP answered.

Imaginary people, at this point.

It's 50% to 45%, presumably with 5% undecided, so I think you're overstating the situation a bit. You also appear to be ignoring or erasing men.

> We can just go ahead and say that it’s bad to devalue their work in home making without dancing around the point.

It depends on what you mean by value. The article argues in favor of paying stay-at-home parents, which means economic value. Speaking for myself, I value freedom of choice, in the moral sense of value, but I don't think there's much if any relation between moral value and economic value. Our economy values many things that I find morally abhorrent and devalues many things that I find morally commendable. Capitalism is simply economic supply and demand. I support the personal choice to have children, in the same way that I support the personal choice to play video games, but I don't think the government should finance the playing of video games, even if the majority of women, or the majority of men for that matter, considered it very important. In other words, the personal preferences of women are not specifically relevant with regard to what the government ought to finance. On the other hand, you could argue plausibly that the raising and education of children is crucial for a healthy and functioning society and thus ought to be financed by the government, regardless of how individual women or men feel about staying at home vs. working outside the home. It's an open question, though, whether such an argument would entail direct government payments to stay-at-home parents.

It’s relatively neutral and the pinned topics at the top give a good overview of the important stuff with the option to dive into more specific articles or primary sources.

Hmm, I don't think that I would want a GitHub productivity tool. The experience is already pretty optimal for PRs and code review. In terms of things within the development lifecycle that would need their productivity boosted, GitHub isn't close to the top of the list for me.
Unlike the Mycenaean Lion's Gate, constructed with stone, using technical dry-stone masonry, Notre Dame was susceptible to sabotage. Post-2019 conflagration, reconstructing its arches, colonnades, spires, and stained glass windows - much of which survived high temperatures is a testament to Gothic architecture. In the Bronze Age, temples, remnants of sacrificial tombs dedicated to resurgent sacrificial rites in satiating Baal, still stand in the outskirts of Jerusalem. Depending on the materials, stone structures will whether incineration, even retaining frescoes prefiguring Christ.

The social default will be to assume that everything is a AI generated or manipulated. It will not matter if the content is real.

I was very surprised to learn this is indeed true.

"As the flames engulfed the cathedral, a whopping 400 tonnes of lead from the roof and spire went up in smoke, according to French authorities."

"The decision to rebuild the spire and roof of Notre-Dame exactly as they had been in the 19th century by covering them in lead deepened the anger already felt by the members of Notre-Dame Lead and raised the eyebrows of politicians, non-profits and local residents.

To justify the decision, the institution in charge of restoring the cathedral, Rebuilding Notre-Dame de Paris, ruled out any danger of direct exposure to the substance. “Covering the roof structures of the nave, the choir and two arms of the transept with lead does not expose any member of the public to lead, as they are located some forty metres from the ground and are inaccessible,” the institution told French daily newspaper La Croix in a December 2023 article, assuring it was taking the matter “very seriously”."
What forces the insurance company to give sound rejections? There are numerous categories of care where you would not expect the individual to survive long enough to bring a lawsuit, or the individuals in question would not have the financial means.

Housing is the largest cartel in Canada, Retail or Media doesnt work in money laundering.

Canadian housing stock is literally used to whitewash illegally earned cash internationally (but especially china), and they influence politicians and municipalities to put in place laws to stifle housing construction.

Canadian housing is used by international criminals as a store of value instead of gold or other stuff, it’s a very popular method of money laundering.

It’s insane, none of this is free market, like some folks are obnoxiously touting in this thread, this is not free market, not pro-competition, not market decided pricing.

Homes should be for living in, just like Cola is used as a consumable, not as gold/bitcoin to store value, it’s being made this way by Politicians stifling the market with insane regulations preventing homes from even being built.

the next step is to look for causes of the sickness that you can actually do something about. you probably can't solve global problems but you can help with local ones like racism or other forms of prejudice and intolerance, and you can make small contributions towards some of the global ones, like climate change.

For how long though as China is building large shipping container ports as well as EV car factories in South America and Central America. Now a lot of US media and politicians are saying China is doing it so that they can access US markets. But I don't think so they are building these so that they get access to the huge market. As ev plus solar keep getting cheaper and a lot of countries dependence on oil for energy for economic growth will be removed they are building a market for their electronics as well as a suppliers for their food requirements.

I’m biased (I created https://codeapprove.com) but I think GitHub has let code review lag so far behind the rest of the platform. They’ve done a lot of work on project management, CI, discussions, and code authoring but code review has been the same for about 10 years.

Tools like Graphite, CodePeer, Codelantis (and of course CodeApprove) make it so much easier to have a meaningful discussion on a PR. Making sure every thread comes to resolution, knowing whose turn it is, having a fast way to navigate between code and comments, etc. The FAANG companies all have this kind of thing built in house because good code review is a key part of building high quality large software projects.

Very different from everyone here I think, but we’re currently running into weird artifact eviction issues in our GitHub actions pipelines (
our fault for using GitHub CI, I’m aware lol).

Not sure if that’s in scope at all for your project but throwing it out there nonetheless

I have seen it a few times for vacuum cleaners.

Anyways, the conversion is easy: 1 mmH₂O is g Pascals, g = 9.80665, the Earth gravity, often rounded to 10.

It is actually easy to calculate:

1 Pa is 1 N/m²

1 N is the force needed to accelerate 1 kg at 1 m/s², the acceleration due to Earth gravity is "g", so, because F=ma, 1 kilogram-force under Earth gravity is g N.

Density of water is 1 kg/L, a column of water 1mm high with a 1m² base has a volume of 1/1000 of a m³, or a liter, so that column weights 1 kg.

Therefore that column exerts a force of g N on 1m², or g Pa. So 1 mmH₂O = g Pa =~ 10 Pa = 1daPa

I have never seen the daPa used as a unit, but the daN is common, because 1 daN so close to 1 kgf (kilogram-force).
I mean that's how alerts work on almost every other platform

Do you really consider a little rocket (RPG) as equivalent to a missile, or it a joke?

Not sure anyone considers them sufficient since quite a while (9/11, anyone?)

> list an opinion of someone expressing "grave concern"

He is the boss of the UN Agency in charge of nuclear civilian applications and the communiqué clearly describes the causes of his concerns.

> nuclear is the pretty much the only power generation left in Ukraine

Because they don't have any other industrial electricity-equipment, and therefore no other option (bar a nearly-permanent nearly-complete-blackout), as they didn't start their energy transition yet (for various reasons).

> Ukraine is building new nuclear power plants

Those now are bare approved projects. My point is about the risk, not about choosing nuclear (balancing the pros and cons, risk included, and doing so objectively) nor building then exploiting it as planned.

In more detail, Notre Dame's new fire protection system rests on five pillars.

The first is surveillance. “In addition to thermal cameras, an air suction and analysis system will be in constant operation,” explains the public institution in charge of restoring Notre Dame of Paris. “Any outbreak of fire detected by at least two pipes will automatically trigger the misting system.”

The system will release a mist consisting of fine droplets of water diffused into the wooden framework, which, if necessary, will considerably reduce the temperature in the space and smother the incipient fire.

The third pillar is the thickening of the batten: the thin planks of wood that separate the trusses from the lead roofing. “One millimeter thick has a fire resistance of one minute: We added 15mm [0.6”, editor’s note], giving the fire a quarter of an hour less chance of spreading to the roof,” explains the company.

Fire-stop trusses have been installed to separate the spire from the choir on one side and the nave on the other. They divide the space in three, preventing or delaying the spread of fire from one to the other.

Finally, the entire network of dry columns has been redesigned to facilitate firefighting operations. The flow of water that can be mobilized has been multiplied by three to reach up to 600m3 (264 gallons) of water per hour.
Yeah, there was one point where I told it there was an error and it said "Oh, my mistake, I'll publish the update to the repository" and I said "Did you publish the update, I don't see it" and it said "yes" and I said "How did you do that? I don't think you can use those tools" and it said "Oh yeah, my mistake, I am not able to access external tools like github and make changes for you but I can share the changes with you"

I am paraphrasing of course. It was a little comical that all the sudden it switched from typing the artifacts to trying to tell me it committed the changes directly.

Sorry but I don't. This was many decades ago and I wasn't even a sailor. I was a teenager and my dad was able to arrange me spending two months one Summer aboard that freighter as a kind of informal, unofficial intern. I guess he thought it would be kind of like an outward bound experience. I'm not really sure how it even came together and I imagine it couldn't happen today. Things were a lot less structured back then, especially on an Indonesian freighter in the South China Sea. It was a lot of hard work and the conditions on board were rough, especially from the perspective of an American teenager among an all Indonesian crew but I learned an enormous amount about life in the real world.
