I'd love to read a few paragraphs on the subject, but a 50 minute video to gain some insight into math trivia is out of the question.

Even if someone doesn't need to work at a sufficiently low level as to need that information regularly, not knowing that suggests a severe lack of fundamentals and hints at trouble on the horizon. Someone could play at chemist and work

We need stronger protections at all levels of social organization. Every group has incentives to exploit each other. The ever-evolving trick is to arrange the balance of power to minimize each faction's capacity for overreach.

Typical LED lighting is approximately free, or close enough to zero that calculating a percentage change in cost isn't especially, ah, enlightening. The goal of the comparison is to attempt to contextualize the absolute rather than r

Agreed. Working for a major big box retailer for 12 years: never once have we accepted a hand-delivered resume or hired a walk-in. On the rare occasions fresh high school students try that (and it's never anyone older), it's alway

As someone with multi-million dollar investments, your concerns about wealth taxes and your standards for evaluating financial sense are wildly different from most people on the planet, and even many here on HN.

My current apartment has no south windows. The previous unit had none east. Before that, no north. Before that, no south or north windows. "Just" fixing some problems can be a luxury.

I advise you that I will never watch a video. Video is a painfully slow and unwieldy format for transmiting information. It is occasionally useful for specific kinds of instruction or demonstration, but I don't think your service i

It was a much smaller internet. Crowds and server overload were much more visible.

I'm just gonna leave a comment so I can check in on this idea later.

$60k is right around what it would cost to support a single individual comfortably where I live, so that sounds entirely reasonable, if not a bit low.

The notion that any non-boolean type has a "false value" is strange to me. There's some convenience in it, certainly, but I don't see it making sense on a more basic level.

They used homomorphic encryption to blind themselves. Utilized correctly, it would have no impact on the result, only on the team's knowledge of the substance of the data. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homomorphic_

You may have moved on, but the industry as a whole certainly has not. Loot boxes, season passes, cosmetic item shops, etc are the force that has allowed the $60 box price to remain the default.

Meatspace disapproval signalling is expressed instinctively, unless conscious control is applied. It's opt-out. Emojis and downvotes require actively choosing to reply. They're opt-in. And we know damned well that opt-out yields m

Although, oddly, I do have one album which is no longer available for streaming in the web client, but remains intact in the Android app.

My childhood home, in a mid-century California suburb, used the same fan arrangement. Incredibly effective... if also very noisy.

Correct. Apologies, as a sibling comment surmised, those numbers are for activity burn, in addition to BMR, for a total range that stretches from roughly 2000-3000 cal daily.

"Normal" varies a lot. Via my Oura ring, at 5'10" and 160lbs, I know I typically burn perhaps 250 cal on a lazy day off work. Against that background, working in retail management, ordinary numbers are 700 cal on an unde

I'll second this. Getting an SSD was the last big "oh shit" upgrade. Now the only things I recognize myself waiting for are really heavyweight programs, like yes, gaming.

This is wonderful, but I wonder if cost of adoption is an issue? I know that abandoned netting is a substantial source of plastics in the ocean, so I expect that fishing operations are sensitive to the replacement cost.

An entire large potato is 300, 400 calories. Even "loaded" with fixings, I can't imagine eating 2000 calories in potato-centered food in one sitting.
