It's generally higher than that depending on the data you use too. Most statistics you see are based on 1-2 year recidivism rates, so if they end up in prison at a later date then that's not included. For example, the UK keeps dat

There's a good book on the topic called "Why We Sleep" by Matthew Walker, a professor of neuroscience and psychology at Berkley. In it, it discusses how teens are biologically designed stay up much later than their parents wo

I do a lot of cave and wreck diving, where box breathing is reguarly touted as a fantastic way to calm yourself if you get into a stressful situation. You do it while at rest if you find yourself disorientated. Never hold your breate while

To say that close to 99% use it is plain false. Having done research on the topic while writing a report for my old company when we were switching CAD packages, I can safetly say that Fusion360 and Solidworks make up an overwhelmingly major

One thing I will say is that I feel YouTube doesn't do this to nearly as large of degree as TikTok. YouTube might suggest me videos that are outside my cluster of interests occasionally, but normally only those with a reasonably high v

In Scandinavia they reguarly added inner bark to flour during famine. In Russia, nettle and orache were used. There a good article which goes through what many cultures eat during famine below [1]. Some of it is pretty horrific: > “…I ha

This is a really interesting theory, and explains to some degree why those with darker complexions (lower vitamin-D levels) and obesity (increased rates of hypertension) have higher mortality rates. Would it explain why younger people are m

Your speaking objectively about something that could not be more subjective...? Is part of it a status symbol? Yes of course. I dislike the rabid Apple fandom as much as the next person - but that does not detract from the fact that they ha

Agreed. I'd be more specific and say Apple invented the first fashionable wireless earbuds . I owned a pair of the first Jabra earbuds (of which the latest edition I still use and love) and plenty of those horrid looking, wrap-around,

It very much nostalgically brought me back to the beginning of the decade, when fantastic "open-world" single-player RPG's like Mass Effect 2, Skyrim, Fallout: New Vegas, Witcher 2, Dragon Age: Origins etc were being realised

That's not hard. The hard bit is adding capabilities for when people leave obstacles in the hallway, or little kids are running around and playing with it, or some arsehole decides to tip it over, or the bin is damaged, or is over fill

Other than the pirate stations around London, they're not quite as proliferate as they once were with the advent of the internet. They have a colourful history in the UK however, with some stations broadcasting from international water

Anecdotally I felt that the 'become dumb to fight the boredom' mentality spills quite easily into life outside of work if you let it too. If I had a challenging day, I'd go home and study or build something - I'd keep th

I think obsessiveness has its advantages at times; people often become savants at something they're truly passionate about. However, I don't think there's ever a situation where a person - despite their passion - can't b

Having been forced to use an online math software for all my homework while at school, I vehemently disagree. It was so poor that it became a meme within my year group. It would mark you as incorrect for using too many decimal places, even

In my eyes we shouldn't stop people from doing anything. What we should do is encourage people to have a wider variety of hobbies and interest, of which gardening a few hours a week can be coupled with video games - or whatever the

We have a similar thing called an EngD in the UK. There are about 20 institutions that do, most of them well regarded and from what I've heard do a great job at providing you industry links throughout.

I don't think I know anyone that doesn't like bananas IRL. It's the only thing that keeps me grounded and reminds me that we're all just a bunch of hairless monkeys.

To only look at only emissions by weight is a trap many fall into and vastly underestimates the impact animal agriculture has on 'climate change' when accounting for all factors. It drives around 75% of rain forest degredation [0]

Unfortunately the factory floor has a no camera policy, so I'm not able to share. I'd be hoarding the karma in /r/cableporn otherwise.

Depends how safety conscious you are looking to be. Freighter shipping, military installations, and aerospace often still use lacing cord because it causes less abrasion, or zip ties and velcro ties won't pass flammability/vibrati

Not sure why you're getting down voted. As part of our stand procedure we have to file down zip ties because it caused too many issues with damaging cables - and having been sliced while inspecting a unit, the fact they are now all nic

This is why I'm glad I shared this article, because it's the one thing on HN I'm qualified to give an opinion on - making harnesses is my job! The wire insulation is an extruded polymer, not a heat shrink, so we can't us

We still use lacing cord for most of our aircraft harnesses. Nobody but the engineers and technicians ever get to see it, which is a shame because it really does look beautiful.

Cable ties can cause friction issues over time. They are all but banned from Airbus and Boeing aircraft unless you have some sort of silicone tape or fabric round-it beneath for protection, at which point it's easier for most engineers

There's certainly a time and place for it though still. Certainly in the aerospace industry, cable lacing is a very important part of the harness making process. When trying to be compliant to safety measures (like incredibly low or hi

We've got a computer in the lab from the 70's that we use to upload firmware for some legacy chips still in service on aircraft (a cabin lighting system, not anything vital to the aircraft staying in the air!). I dread the day tha
