It does produce a little bit of CO and NOx as well, but newer furnaces control the air mixture to keep those pretty low.

Newer gas stoves turn off automatically when they don’t detect a flame, but I’ve only seen those in Europe so far.

Sympathy literally means "feeling together".

The top comment in the video mentions someone's experience with resistor binning with a batch of 10% resistors having no samples under 5%. Anyway, the resistors binned for tighter tolerances aren't going to have to have a trough in the center of the distribution - they'll have cutoffs on either side. Binnig can be repeated for any tolerance desired, so carbon vs metal film doesn't have anything to do with it.

This is an inappropriate response for HN. Please stick to the topic and contribute in an interesting and constructive way.

I've had similar problems.. See my sibling comment, there's a chance it may be helpful!

I've been having some sort of severe performance issue in one form or another since Mojave/Catalina or so with a 2017 MBP and a 2020 M1 Mac Mini.

The symptoms is always generally poor performance after the system has been running a while (4h to a week, varies), usually with WindowServer using CPU cycles non-stop and UI that felt choppy across all programs.

This seemed to happen frequently after "opening many files", like doing some recompiling with Xcode for a few hours, or indexing a large volume with Spotlight. Rebooting helps temporarily.

Today I realized that data read/written since boot was about 1TB in a few hours on a brand new OS install, and I traced this back to the com.apple.Safari.History process. Somehow having bookmarks and previously using Safari 15.x caused a huge amount of I/O that wouldn't stop - the solution was to remove all bookmarks and reading list items. Performance was immediately back to normal, no reboot needed.

So just logging in with your iCloud id, you could be "importing" whatever performance problem you're having on a new install.

I recommend you reboot and take a look at your disk I/O stats - maybe this will help someone!

Yes; FB censored the lab leak hypothesis until very recently.

| Most of the protests have been nonviolent.

That's not true. There have been countless violent protests that have destroyed shops owned by mainland companies (like bakeries, nothing particularly nationalistic), set fire to and destroyed MTR (subway) stations, thrown petrol bombs at other unarmed civilians who disagreed and the police of course, and beat a guy in the head with a large pipe for removing bricks in the road. They even videotaped this because they were so proud of their actions. The people they severely burned were ridiculed in online forums (calling them "barbecue", etc.). Hundreds of posters chimed in and liked replies like this.

At the end of the day many people on that side will argue that each case of violence against other citizens was just undercover police trying to make them look bad, or just an isolated incident. It's like saying "fiery but mostly peaceful protests" on the CNN chyron. People can't credibly claim to be "for democracy" will silencing critics with violence. Otherwise anyone can claim to be a/for democracy, and who is anyone to say they aren't? Might as well add the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea), the German Democratic Republic (former East Germany), and the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the list.

| ... is the cause worth the unrest? ... and, yes, violence do justify the (really, I think) relatively restrained HK protest movement.

I'm repeating myself here, but violence against fellow citizens is not justified in the name of democracy. Democracy would be the ideal outcome for HK, obviously, but neither the protesters nor the CCP are offering a path to that. It's possible for both sides to be bad. Quoting another poster in this thread:

"If we cannot beat them, at least we should get to see it burn to ground."

Well, guess what? Many people in HK aren't up for destroying everything in their lives and don't agree with the "protesters". Does their opinion not count, while they're claiming to care about democracy?

Quoting the same person:

"I think the best move for us HKers is to work overseas whenever possible."

So these protesters want to destroy everything they can in HK, and _then leave_. Thanks for nothing I guess. Perhaps they should change the order - leave for another country, then start assaulting people and setting things on fire. Maybe elsewhere they will be prosecuted and face justice for their actions.

| And, yes, the US isn't all unicorns and rainbows. We may be moving in an illiberal direction ourselves.

There needs to be an absolute standard for what's acceptable in a democracy, so it's not necessary to compare HK to the US or the US to anywhere else, but since you mention the US it's worth mentioning CHAZ in Seattle. There is absolutely zero chance that something like CHAZ could secede from the US had they wanted to do that. It's equally naive to believe that China would relinquish Hong Kong, or that any other nation would do anything other than write a strongly worded letter if the PLA were to move in and take over. Hong Kong _did_ have an agreement to have a separate way of life until 2046, but the CCP finally got the perfect excuse to move that date up by 25 years. Losing 25 years of relative autonomy with nothing to show for it was decidedly _not_ worth it.

It really died in 2019 when the protesters started setting fire to other Hong Kongers that disagreed with them by throwing Molotov cocktails at them, or just beating a guy in head with a large steel pipe for moving a brick out of the street.

The CCP taking over now vs. after 2046 was the only predictable outcome here, but the freedom to speak your mind and disagree without threat of physical harm was lost before.

EDIT: The predictable downvoting without replying shows the downvoters don't refute the facts, being that protesters physically attack others who disagree. That's not democracy.

Based on the first link:

"Less than 200 years ago, humans organized their daily routines by the sun clock ... which was in synchrony with their body clock. Now, most of us ... use electric light at night... these new conditions challenge our health and can cause safety problems, [and] ... become even worse under Daylight Saving Time (DST)".

It seems like most people would agree that living in synchrony to the solar day is better for us, but I would think that DST would help with that when the sun starts to rise around 6AM and many people aren't awake yet.

Why would eliminating DST help?

This is really helpful info, thanks for writing the comment!

It’s possible. This was highlighted a few years ago in Canada when someone had their car disabled remotely over a fee dispute. That was a Kia incidentally.

This is ironic, because your posts are part of the problem.

There's some muddled thinking going on there. The source doesn't make the argument that Bitcoin isn't energy intensive. If that's an issue for you, you should re-evaluate your views on Bitcoin, but denying it doesn't change the fact.

Otherwise we're just arguing that "water isn't wet" and what the definition of "is" is.

The tweets you linked to link to another source [0], and are mostly paraphrased from that source, which makes the following argument:

"Does Bitcoin justify its energy usage? Does it add enough value? So far, the market says it does."

That doesn't "debunk" any argument about energy use, it only tries to justify it.

Well, if you want to resent rich people for being rich, that's your prerogative, but I don't think there's much benefit in seeing it that way.

You mentioned planet ecosystem and consumption, so let's use energy as an example. The richest people consume much more per capita than everyone else, but still represent a tiny fraction of overall usage. So no matter how you deal with the rich, it won't solve that problem. Meanwhile, everyone acts in their own self-interest, so you have developing nations increasing their per capita energy consumption as their standard of living increases, and overall energy use goes up. The planet doesn't know the difference in who used to energy and whether it was justified/deserving/whatever. The result is the same.

So what's the solution? You could decrease wasteful consumption (commuting, global shipping as labor arbitrage) and you can change how energy is generated (i.e. renewables), which you could lump into political and technological changes. The easiest way to do either is to align people's incentives so they'll naturally drive those changes, since again people act in their own self-interest. Some rich people will lose out in that transition and try to oppose changes, others will benefit and try to further them, but the net effect isn't necessarily negative. And of course energy use is just one example here.

So these problems are kind of orthogonal to how you feel about rich people, meaning that if you let yourself get distracted with that, you'll have little impact.

I've worked with and lived around both poor and relatively rich people, but I can't say that the rich stand out as lacking empathy or compassion specifically. From my experience I would say the opposite is true, creating "anti network-effects" for many poor people.

There seems to be growing resentment of "the rich" recently, but I believe that's misplaced. Things will get worse for "the poor" until the cause is diagnosed correctly.

That's a good way of verbalizing how I've felt with the last few iterations of macOS as well as Homebrew's perpetually changing behavior. Most of it feels like change for the sake of change. I've also used FreeBSD for several years, and it's the opposite approach - everything that used to work still does, and things are well-documented. Usually the man page is enough, or the FreeBSD handbook.

It's still all just Fire and Motion [0].

> making it a jurisdiction of Immigration Court, with expedited process whilst you have limited rights and deportation at the end

Aah got it, that makes sense now. So it's not just political posturing for the extra-tough- on crime stuff.

I think avmich is getting at the idea that some actions may or may not be legal until determined to be a crime, at which point there would be two: the original crime, and using radio to facilitate it.

This reminds me of a question on the US immigration card for non-citizens - it asks if the traveler intends to rob a bank. If you want to be let in, you have to check "no" of course, but anyone who then robs a bank while on vacay will face an additional perjury charge.

I'm not sure if this accomplishes anything other than the usual "tough on crime" stuff.

Does the cost of health insurance change in Switzerland with a pre-existing condition?

The XPS 15 has a dedicated charging port that can draw much more power for the discrete GPU - up to 130W, but lets you charge it on the go with the USB-C port. You get full graphics performance with one but have the choice not to lug around a larger power brick on the go.

Why would I want only one option when I can have both?

The supreme court has ruled that speech presenting "imminent public danger" is not protected (i.e. free) speech.

OP is describing how incentives cause people to behave, not suggesting you do the same.

Economic feasibility is a different question, but we can say the same thing about EVs in Norway - they're not currently economically feasible there without significant incentives. That doesn't mean technology can't catch up.

> there is no "zero carbon diesel".

There is, it’s called biodiesel. It’s certainly possible to be net zero carbon with synthetic fuels.

Many of these are regular business expense deductions like depletion and foreign tax credits. They’re not specific to carbon energy industries and aren’t subsidies per se.

How does it work with the eviction moratorium now? I mean, what would happen if you just stopped paying rent?

I suppose worst case the landlord would get a judgement for the rent, which they’d have a very hard time collecting on. Civil judgements don’t affect credit scores anymore.
