From a technical standpoint it's interesting whether it's deliberate and whether it's compression, but it's not a fair criticism of this video, no. Dismissing someone's concerns over hair splitting is text book &quo

This is an unfair analysis. They discuss compression artifacts. They highlight things like their eyes getting bigger which are not what you usually expect from a compression artifact. If your compression pipeline gives people anime eyes bec

I think their objection is monied interests would have undue influence (they assert), not that lobbyists would be employed.

If you take proper care of it (which includes trimming split ends so that the cracks don't propagate) then sure, but I've previously neglected my hair to the point where my split ends had split ends. I'll absolutely cop to &q

Presumably it's produced at the same rate but destroyed by drying out and cracking as it gets longer and has less access to oil, so it slows down and may find an equilibrium where it stays the same length.

There is nothing in the world Michael Scott loves more than an all hands meeting that no one actually needs to attend, and we would never play a part in combatting them.

I can't speak for OP, they may have been advocating for giving up farming animals (or fowl) altogether, but personally I see a huge inflection point between traditional and factory farming methods with regards to the level of risk. Whe

We have not been factory farming for centuries. More like a century. And it hasn't been a century with a sterling track record! I think we can all recall an event in recent memory where having a lot of animals in close proximity and un

But it's not (just) about us living in close proximity to them, it's about putting them in an environment that makes it impossible for them to live healthy lives and incubates potential zoonotic diseases.

With many eyes, all typos are embarrassing. The new document is an image.

These all seem like OCR errors...? Why would there be OCR in this workflow? Did they print this out and then generate a PDF from a scan instead of the original source? To maintain an air gap maybe?

You want people to be curious and investigate? Then don't snap at them when they ask a question or express confusion. Respond and show your work and they'll learn by example. Snap at them and you'll raise the temperature of t

Maybe it's malware, I haven't checked, but that seems like a pretty typical trajectory to me. I posted a project on HN and got a graph of roughly the same shape (though a much more modest magnitude). https://www.star-hi

For sure but I don't think Andrew Kelley should've let a thing like that stop him from naming the language what he wanted when it isn't true. There's a lot of projects out there and only so many good, short, pronounceabl

It could also be the opposite of a carbon capture mechanism is the detritus if those algal blooms are broken down by archaea and turned into methane, which could then return to the atmosphere. Methane is about 30 times more potent a greenho

The page you've linked is very confusing, but as far as I can tell that's a Zigbee device that the manufacturer (Tensor plc) consistently describes as a "Zig" device. I have no idea why, it's bizarre. - This thesis

It's an interesting question, here's some napkin math. There's almost 19 gigaliters of water in Crater Lake. To pump that amount of water in a year would require pumping 52 megaliters of water per day. A small city produces a

I'm satisfied with what's been presented here already, and as someone who doesn't know Zig it would take me several weeks (since I would have to learn it first), so that seems like an unreasonable imposition on my time. But f
