Genuine question: Do we have data that collaborates the theory that AC's prevent heat deaths and it's not due to confounding variables like the air in Nevada being dryer (dry heat is more bearable than wet heat) or the people in Nevada having year round higher temperatures and just being more acclimated?

Has been on my "to research" list for a while. I agree with you that Europeans should stop being so stingy with AC (speaking as an European who still hasn't an AC, but not much longer), but I do wonder how much they actually do to prevent heat deaths.

Because, how many heat deaths happen at home where people would potentially have AC? As far as I can tell (pre researching it) most, if not all, heat deaths I am aware of, happen outside. So the question would be: What is the effect of having a cool 22C home in regards to suffering heat deaths outside. Does it make it better, because your body can cool down? Does it maybe make it worse, because you step into a harsh difference when leaving it? (The last one is probably an easy no, since plenty of countries with high AC rate don't seem to have that issue).

(Or just general damages from heat, not just heat deaths)

The headline is rather misleading, it indicates a specific intent. But all the article reports is that there are overseas accounts that post about Alberta separatism because it creates clicks and hence money.

Nothing to do specifically with albertan separatism, it has (and will) happened with plenty of other topics as well.

I mean how hard can it be to have a walking pad in a shower...

I've seen a page offering the latest of AI news from HN and my reaction was basically yours.

I wish I could have a HN frontpage with everything but AI news. Both postive or negative.

Really? I guess my neck of the woods is more backwater than I thought. While paying by phone is by no means rare, paying by card is very common.

I very purposefully added both the "and maybe you legit do" and the fact that I'm a bad case study.

I have troubles discerning how this answer connects to my post.

Are you putting me in the third kind of people?

Sadly true, while not being a phone person, I have started using my home banking phone for tasks I used to do on my desktop. Still never leaves my office.

Huh, interesting. I only have those 2FA popups for card payments online or in apps, never for payments in stores.

For all the "My Banking Apps don't work", I'd raise one question:

Do you really need access to banking apps on the go? I get that it can be handy and maybe you legit do, but I'd wager most people don't really do. If you can pay by phone you can pay by card and the card has less potentially to weirdly break.

And if your bank demands a phone app to be used, you can always have a cheap stock android lying around at home. Can't get stolen or lost. Doesn't give big G any data on you, because that phone doesn't have anything but those apps.

But I also understand "just have a second phone" is not a tempting idea for many people. I am not much of a phone person, so I'm not a good case study, but it works fine for me.

Not wanting to discourage you from trying Graphene, but the icons are probably not a good reason. Can always install an alternative launcher and icon pack on stock android.

Running Graphene for a long time now, everything works perfectly fine, but I don't do mobile banking.

When I first heard about unikernels my hope/thought was that people would go back to using more bare-metal servers for unikernels.

I've found the idea of unikernels interesting for several years now, is there a tl;dr on why they don't seem to have taken off, like at all? Or is it all happening behind some doors I don't have access to?

Dirty white.

> But it almost reads like a chess Grandmaster in the 90s telling up-and-coming players to not practice against Deep Blue because it will teach you bad habits.

No idea if chess grandmasters did do that in the 90s, but frankly it would have been good advice. Just as it is good advice today for up-and-coming players not to practice against stockfish, leela or whatever. Unless you are already very proficient in chess, practicing against those engines will teach you very little .
