  Then you’d need some organization with resources to store this data? You’d still need to trust someone to do this correctly.

  But America has a higher suicide raterate?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New thermoelectric generator converts vehicle exhaust heat into electricity, boosting fuel efficiency⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So in a solid, you can imagine each atom connected to each other by springs (bonds). They can vibrate on these springs. If they vibrate too much (by heating) then they can break the bonds and escape as a gas. Gasses basically have too much energy to bond again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New thermoelectric generator converts vehicle exhaust heat into electricity, boosting fuel efficiency⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Molecules interact with each other. Energy is transferred as they bump around. If you were to follow a single molecule it would move around randomly. What we can measure is usually the average of many molecules.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A young computer scientist and two colleagues show that searches within data structures called hash tables can be much faster than previously deemed possible.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Only if there’s no collisions. With lots of collisions it’s far from constant.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Solar should be packaged with consumer appliances⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A 3kWh battery is like >$1000? Wouldn’t this double the price of a fridge?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Solar should be packaged with consumer appliances⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Except batteries are heavy and expensive? Which appliances can feasibly be battery powered for a practical amount of time?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨circuits⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Also the money. I’d love to do more hardware heavy stuff but the pay just isn’t there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Classic shooters Unreal and Unreal Tournament are now free and preserved on the Internet Archive⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This game is the reason my eyes and vestibular systems are disconnected.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The ability to be spontaneous in life is directly proportion to the size of your bank account⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Murder. It’s how many kids you’ve murdered. Therefore you will be in prison and have negative spontaneity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should you trust that doctor?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  JD should definitely be higher than Strange on the Y axis. He cares way more for his patients.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should you trust that doctor?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So Dr. Strange is trained in neurosurgery, which is a 7 year residency compared to 3-4 years for internal medicine. He may have also done a neurosurgery fellowship for 2 years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should you trust that doctor?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But that’s the Y axis. Training is on the X. As a neurosurgeon, he’s had at least 2 more years of training than JD, possibly a lot more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should you trust that doctor?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Dr. Strange should have more formal training for his surgery specialty. Did JD specialize or did he just stay in internal medicine?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should you trust that doctor?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And does he actually have no formal training? You’d think at some stretch of his life he actually became accredited somewhere. Possible on multiple planets.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do our brains process reality? I heard our eyes were just low-res cameras and our brains were doing all the heavy lifting in 'rendering' reality.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You can test this: ismy.blue

  Obviously not perfect since it depends on screens and lighting conditions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mazda's $10 Subscription For Remote Start Sparks Backlash After Killing Open Source Option⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah the problem is Mazda was abusing the DMCA instead of setting up their API properly. The API should fail if you try to use it without a subscription. It seems like this check was done elsewhere, which is just bad design. And then they used the legal system to cover it up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Tom Warren] The PS5 Pro still hasn’t sold out in the US or UK. Looks like the $700 price point will mean this console will be readily available this holiday⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I know some people upgrading Pixels every year because with trade in and sales they only need to pay like $200. I don’t think Sony will take an existing PS5 though…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Women in STEM⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not to mention she’s been immortalized as Meitnerium

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Some people are in to Deep⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Do they have laundry machines?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨xkcd #2979: Sky Alarm⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Wow this is a reference from my childhood. Feeling old now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FAA grounds SpaceX after rocket falls over in flames.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I doubt this grounding will last long since it’s unlikely to affect other flights. They’re just looking for an understanding of why this happened and it could very well be due to some wear that wasn’t expected.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Be an influencer. 💅⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  ArXiv?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NASA says astronauts stuck in space will not return on Boeing capsule, will wait for SpaceX craft⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Of course last time when only the government would take the blame they sent the astronauts to their deaths. This time they have a scapegoats and an alternative.

  My coworker feels more comfortable cycling around the Waymo’s than human drivers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI trained on AI garbage spits out AI garbage.⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Of course modern UX design is very much based on getting the right answer with the wrong inputs (autocorrect, etc).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If anything happen to Linux today, like what happened to Windows, most of the internet would be dead.⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A lot of people would say the internet was down if a large number of those products weren’t available. Also companies like Google do own parts of the physical Internet infrastructure.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If anything happen to Linux today, like what happened to Windows, most of the internet would be dead.⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I bet you could bring it up with them now…

  I mean there was that Chinese balloon last year that was literally shot down by a F-22 so… yes?
