What helps is to know the history of Israel’s ethic cleansing campaign against Palestinians. Zionists have been murdering civilians en mass since Israel was founded.

I didn't seen any election in which this was on the table. This issue is popular and bipartisan amongst congresspeople, but that cannot be extrapolated to the public.

AFAIR, 112 is defined by some ITU or 3GPP standard, which is honored in at least Europe/Russia region. In other places different numbers might as well be routed to it or (even better) redefined inside terminal software (SIM). But I no longer work in that area, so can't be 100% sure.

Like I suggested, developing the skill is largely a matter of practice and it becomes both more easy and more robust as you work to hone it.

It is not the defining characteristic of "10x developers" like Carmack. He's of an especially rarified sort and not really someone to look at as a role model in the first place because his experience and background is so idiosyncratic.

What we're talking about here is just an essential characteristic of "competent developers" and is among the array of characteristics that distinguish early-career developers from more genuinely senior ones. Your stepwise growth of the skill is very highly correlated with what value you'll provide as a developer (and therefore what roles and rates you can pursue).

Next time you encounter a frustration like you found in (2), don't just blindly update ImGui and hope for the best. If you think it might be the problem (a great insight because you were modeling it!), open your local version of ImGui and see if you can find where it's a causing problem, because you're now going to be very invested in reading ImGui closely (to find the issue) and you're going to learn so much that will help you better model ImGui in the future, as well as better model other utilities.

After you've put some effort into that, and hopefully even found the issue (but perhaps not), then go to GitHub and try to use changelogs, issues, PR's, etc to see if you can find some specific commits that might be related to the issue. Analyze those commits yourself and see what you can learn from them, improving your understanding about utilities like ImGui and how they're implemented and where bugs like the one you encountered might lurk so you can track them down more quickly in the future. Only then should you consider updating your local version.

And while you might be reading this and thinking "who's got time for that?!", it doesn't really take that much time once you get the hang of it through practice, and every time you do it, you're making huge investments into your own proficiency and value (-> future roles and rates). Don't skimp, just do it!

(As for #1 - "getting tired" -- aspiring athletes, whether professional or amateur, get tired during training too. And that's okay, because again, it's all a process of development and growth. To train, you push as far through the tiredness as you can, and then make the compromises you need to, always trying to push yourself a little bit farther before you do. By doing this, that wall of tiredness moves further and further out and you become that much more capable and productive.)

But if we asked users "Choose one: the ideal convenience of being able to log in with just your username (but anyone who knows your username can login as you), or the inconvenience of having to enter username plus a secret password?" almost all users would choose the security over convenience, because they would understand the risk/reward. I think users care more about convenience than _theoretical_ security, and that we owe them education on how security impacts them directly.

I could keep listing all the problems with Tim Cook for 2 days, without even stopping to drink some water. But he was pretty much one of the very few (maybe only?) who pushed back publicly against the elimination of DEI policies - regardless of what you think about DEI policies or about Tim Apple, this did happen. Repeating that he is a traitor of LGBTQ+ is definitely an option, but I can hardly see how it is true at the time of writing this comment...

Any bike can be an ebike. Not every bike can be a safe ebike. Many cheaper or older bikes have kind of crappy brakes which don't hold up well to frequent stops from high speed, especially with a heavy rider or cargo. This type of ebike conversion can be fine but know what you're getting into before you buy.

New ebikes from reputable brands come with good brakes from the factory.

It's true, and okay, that the academia grind is only for a subset of us. It is not the only meaningful path! I went on to gradschool by rote, and I do not push it on my high-school students or anyone else. It took me about 40 years to find a sense of purpose (having a child was the catalyst).
Sadly, the push for STEM seems motivated by capitalists wanting further control of valuable labor, so I'm really chuffed by Bryan's Show HN post- even though open-source can be leveraged by capital, it doesn't have to be. It is a non-walled-garden model, and an example of what we can do collectively. Even if the Linux kernel is largely funded by corporations, it doesn't have to be.

A concern is that a laptop is still not something my community can make with the local resources, and thus the exploitation of land, labor, and money continues.

What would a fair-trade laptop cost?
Almost all of these analyses of ternary hinge on the idea of efficiency of representation, being the (number of possible symbols) * (number of digits to represent).

But it seems way more useful to use the log of the number of possible symbols, in which case all bases (except unary, which is non-positional) have the exact same efficiency, and the argument becomes moot. It becomes largely a question of representation in reality, and binary wins on that front.

More exotic non-positional number systems seem way more interesting -- Fibonacci bases or Gray bases. Even balanced ternary if we have to break out of the binary paradigm.

It's okay, these concepts are frequently conflated. For example when it comes to cars, it is advised to put on "winter tires", but people usually keep an entire set of 4 tires+rims so that they change the wheels instead of the tires.
Why Liquidity Matters
If you keep this idea alive (and I hope you do!), you might consider shrinking the keyboard battery and designing its docking configuration so that it automatically charges from the main battery when stored in the laptop. A 3 month keyboard battery capacity seems sort of excessive when its mechanically part of a machine that charges daily.

I think one of the limitations to the keyboard concept you have is that it complicates using the laptop base as a stand for the screen in a tablet configuration. Outside of tablets with fully detachable keyboards (e.g. the Surface or the iPad pro), I don't think anybody has a good design for that. Was a touchscreen ever a consideration for stretch goals or design for expansion?
Im pretty skeptical of the underlying approach. Why starting with cost per capita and trying to control for everything instead of a more direct measure? Poor controls is cumulative error and taints everything else.

I suspect you would get a substantially different result if it was based public tax filing data for coverage.

My SWAG is that construction is a larger portion than estimated, and the quality of coverage is a major factor not captured in this model (fewer claims, higher price tag).

One thing the article overlooks is that the price of insurance is driven not only by payouts, but by investment returns and inflation rates. Insurers have liquidity requirements and restrictions on investment risk. I would expect insurance premiums to go up when returns on low risk assets like bonds and mortgage backed security returns are low, especially when inflation is high.

I wonder if many insurers were/are in a comparable financial situation to silicon valley bank holding underwater bonds, but with the benefit that homeowners can not coordinate a run on the bank.

I suppose we will learn more about the state of their liquidity and financial risk in the fallout from the SoCal fire claims.

Probably way too late to make options trades on this hypothesis. May be a opportunity to go long on firms with relatively less exposure (low growth since 2020).

Let's check the numbers. They claim :

Range: 40km
20 min pedaling charges 50%
Top speed 25kph

If a 70kg well trained amateur cyclist can output ~200W for an hour [1], so let's guestimate 130 for an average person. That would mean the battery has a capacity of at least: 130W * 2*20min = 86.6Wh. The efficiency of the motor/ESC is not considered.

So at 15kph, it would take 2.6 hours to reach the stated 40km range. 86.6Wh / 2.6hrs = 32.5W

A model based calculator [2] says that with 32.5W you indeed cycle at 15.5kph.

LiFePo batteries have an energy density of 325Wh/L, so we would need a battery volume of: 86.6Wh/325Wh/L = 0.27L, but a quick search for an example online reveals that a commercial 10Ah 12.8V takes up 1L. That would seem to fit within the product.

I was initially doubting the claims, but it seems to check out ?

At the moment it seems kinda useless - to be truly useful it should support querying across multiple sites simultaneously IMO.

For example, the query "Order Joseph Joseph Platform from amazon.com" is something I could easily do faster myself. All the examples shown in their video are similarly simple and don’t showcase much value.

What would be impressive is if you could ask, "Order Joseph Joseph Platform from the cheapest site," and it could compare the total cost (including product price, shipping, and VAT) across all relevant Amazon domains, eu.josephjoseph.com and other shops that ship to my country. Then we’d really be talking.

Nothing, really! It's cheaper than 1gig, and my ISP doesn't even give me the option of paying for less. I could save about $10 a month to downgrade to AT&T 300Mbps fiber though (which would have data caps, bad privacy policy).
