Right, my point was more that I clicked the link thinking that the UK was launching a government-owned porn website.

The title should be changed to reflect that the article is actually about .gov.uk domain being used for non-governmental websites.

Your question is difficult to answer in good faith because "everything" would benefit from a ten-fold increase in processing power. Super computers could process protein foldings faster, any kind of simulation really could benefit

Of course not and "640K software is all the memory anybody would ever need on a computer".

Your parent comment didn't mean that this was a good UI for human-computer interaction research, he meant that it was a good UI considering it was probably just a quick demo built by the scientists who did the research to showcase thei

Honestly I don't think this proves anything, change "Rust" for "Python", "Java", "C++" or even "Javascript" and you will get a similar number of results with Python being actually highe

You might already know this but anything labelled as grade A cells on Alibaba is a scam pure and simple (especially at 100$/kwh). You will get a grade B (used) cell with a somewhat diminished capacity that won't hold for 10k cycle

It's not directly covered in the article but LiFePO4 which are the new popular cells for most things don't require manganese or cobalt so they are much cleaner than older lithium cells. So I can't directly answer your questio

Lead for fixed installation was a general rule a few years back but it's not really advantageous anymore. There were several concerns with lithium (especially price, availability and safety) that are now addressed making it much more i

I used to say the same thing, but then I was hired at a big company to work on products that needed to handle Arabic, Thai, Devanagari and Bengali. They don't have a proper concept of characters and diacritics count as a character, not

Not the person you replied to, but it's usually more of a shift in desired tone/writing style than just a general objective evaluation. For example I can write a post and feel the tone is good, then come back to it and find it too

You are pretty much right on that point, both a 5600X from AMD or a 12600k from Intel won't bottleneck a 3080Ti or 3090 when gaming.

That's what I was wondering as well, this is obviously a study done on a very small budget with conclusions that could be called a stretch but maybe they knew that research in that area gets more attention?

Yep and it's a pretty big issue actually as it creates a lot of abuse in the system, doctors mostly interested in smaller "easier" acts that they are known to pay well, doctors getting referrals from a clinic outside of their

To me, this study has a few "smells" that makes it dubious: > We collected cross-sectional data between November 2019 and July 2020 from self-selected respondents recruited via media related to psychedelic use such as podcasts

Can confirm that The Economist requires you to chat with a human to cancel. The representative will basically try to get you a "new" deal to prevent cancellation and the whole process took about 5 minutes (with me just saying no t

Very interesting, thanks!

That last part is interesting to me, how would you test the nutrient solution after circulating? Would you just pay a lab to run the analysis on what's left or evaporate the solution to increase concentration and then try to precipita

Impressive work! I had a couple of questions. - How do you find the best concentration for each nutrients for a given plant? I usually just make general-purpose mix with General Hydro but I see that your calculator includes some presets for

My bad, should've known better than to use NFT on HN. For those wondering, it stands for "Nutrient Film Technique" and it's basically running a small stream of nutrient solution in PVC tubes with your plants' roots

You know how sometimes you think about something and it appears out of nowhere the very next day? That's what this article is for me. I have been growing mint, basil, purple basil and rosemary in a custom NFT system for the last 5 mont

Right so it's essentially used as a synonym to "we are expecting".

I clearly hit some kind of cultural thing here, I am French Canadian and no one ever says the equivalent to "we are pregnant" ("nous sommes enceintes"?). Maybe it was also in bad taste to ask this considering the tone of

Thanks! I am not American so I actually didn't know why that expression was used. Considering that my comment got flagged I take it that it's a sensitive topic in the US?

I read it as "ended up liking it", "ended liking it" does not make a whole lot of sense as a native speaker would most likely say "stopped liking it" instead.

I know puns are not well regarded on HN but it is really appropriate that this article was posted on "semiaccurate". P and E cores make sense (in laptop and desktop) because power consumption can be reduced for tasks that are simp

A lot of comments seem to take the cynical route of pointing out that this is not enough or that the promises won't be kept. This is all true of course but misses why summits like the COP26 are held at all. Elected officials need broad

Reading comment like yours always put into perspective how lucky I've been in my career so far to never get a manager who would try to find me on WhatsApp to ask work questions. It seems like such an overreach and might explain why suc
