How so?

[Dupe] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49631121 - this one seems to have more lively discussion
danek_szy··on Apple Watch Ultra 4
Too bad Apple reserved the [training] Readiness feature only for the Ultra 4 - I'm pretty sure Ultra 3 and probably below are just as well equipped to provide such insight...

The article mentions sensitivity, but I’m also curious about this method’s specificity too…

danek_szy··on Air Conditioning Is Not a Luxury, It Is a Necessity
Doesn't sound like "basically free" to me... It still uses electricity, which doesn't help with climate change (even if it mostly comes from renewables).
danek_szy··on Air Conditioning Is Not a Luxury, It Is a Necessity
AC dries the air out and your respiratory system basically depends on moisture to catch air particles and pathogens in your respiratory tract.

Nothing unique about Germans in this case, sorry. ;)

> I also have reservations about why an American libertarian think tank writes about what Europeans should do, but that's probably on me.

My thoughts exactly, except in my mind it's pretty clear that it's about influencing the climate change discourse... The less people are bothered by the rising temperatures, the more they will acquiesce to environmentally unfriendly policy.

danek_szy··on Air Conditioning Is Not a Luxury, It Is a Necessity
What technology are these heat pumps using that make them "energetically basically free"?

> The Cato Institute is an American libertarian think tank headquartered in Washington, D.C. [2]

It's nothing more than US libertarian think tank trying to influence EU policy... Perhaps in an effort to push more anti climate change agenda/discourse in US (but that might be just my projection).

Thank you, case closed.

Do you have any evidence to call it a false flag?
danek_szy··on Did they ghost you?
Well, then they might just respond: Thank you, but no thank you… No liability, but at least they wouldn’t leave the person hanging…

danek_szy··on ICE seeks industry input on ad tech location data for investigative use
If you want job opportunities to open up to your children, perhaps you should invest in parenting that teaches them good values (like hard work and good attitude), education and sense of agency in place of hoping some government agency will kidnap and deport enough immigrants (many of which are legal, like you btw) for market to offer enough demand for them. The above point about „quality” of jobs „taken” by the immigrants is also very valid…

danek_szy··on Apple introduced its Retina MacBook 10 years ago today
Only the 15 inch 2015 model still had the Haswell CPU, therefore your laptop had a slightly newer processor... That [older] generation was left in the bigger model without the yearly upgrade due to the limited supply / production capacity on Intel's side.

danek_szy··on Westinghouse/Bechtel Consortium Agreement: First Nuclear Power Plant in Poland
Feel free to do so! I'm not interested in law in US, nor is law my point in general.

Safety of nuclear is confirmed by death stats and bills like the one you mentioned don't prove otherwise. In fact I'd say they encourage lesser safety measures if anything...

>The international community is clear on the reasons when it's Iran building PWRs but it's equally as true for every other country that does it (thats why we can be sure of Iran's motive).

[citation needed] Who's exactly the "international community" and where's the data to that claim?

Cheap bait...

> Theyre certainly not doing it for economic reasons (5x the cost of solar or wind) or for the environment. They burn more coal per capita than anybody else in the EU and will likely continue to do so for the 15 or so years until this is completed.

Thanks for editing you comment with some substance...

You do realize that cost and especially viability of wind and solar varies dramatically geographically? Renewables are not as easy to deploy in Poland and the fact that we're going with nuclear is precisely to address the coal situation. (Which is what you're attacking btw...)

Not to mention nuclear is also the safest technology out there so far (read up stats on the deaths per each technology, per megawatt)

Comparing Poland to Iran? This is perfect for the "Sh*t HM says" twitter account. :D
danek_szy··on Ask HN: Buy the M1 MacBook Pro or Wait for M2?
They are, but one cannot simply overcome them by replacing the CPU. You have to buy new laptop, which is why performance is taken into consideration when evaluating laptop models.

On a personal note, can't wait to switch off of my 2015 MBP 15', even though I agree with touchbar & touchpad size scepticism.

danek_szy··on Ask HN: Buy the M1 MacBook Pro or Wait for M2?
2015 MBP also suffers from staingate and in many regards isn't good enough by todays standards... Not being able to keep up with decoding 4K HEVC footage is one.

Another thing is that 15 inch model had Intel CPU from previous generation (unlike 13'), because Intel couldn't keep up with production of the latest architecture dies.

danek_szy··on Ask HN: Have you been infected by Covid-19? What is it like?
Then maybe this [1] clears things out. Probably differences in understanding what "sometimes" means. This shows specific frequency/percentages.

How so? You seem to be just repeating the common narrative in US, which isn't based in any factual data.
