Is 12 hours to deliver a local privilege escalation fix not a good response time?

Wild that around that same time one of my fellow students at university managed to get a free trial of a Sun Thumper shipped to him. It arrived to our campus workplace on a pallet. Just to mess around with. No way was he going to actually purchase the roughly $70,000 machine.

This is inevitably going to get looked at by antitrust regulators, either in this administration (depending on how much Trump likes the leaders involved), or in the next.

What happens when the government raises one of its taxes or imposes a new one?

At most you'd need a ~3 month grace period that covers only that exact difference. Beyond that they adapt

The same thing that happens when suppliers raise prices. The retailer is free to raise prices.

What they shouldn't be able to do is to hide the price increase until you're at the till.

It’s basically OODA loop, which is itself just as descriptive of how people act and adjust than it is prescriptive.

How else would you describe iteratively solving problems?

Interestingly enough the problem with most of problem solving is identifying the right problem to solve.

It may sound weird but OODA starts making sense once you’ve identified the right problem to focus on.

In its original definition it was based on dogfights. There, your problem is clearly defined.

and the fun question of how do you find good problems is very hard to systematize!

These steps, but in many other arbitrary orders, some with feedback to previous steps

Depending on how you want to define “weapon” the actual offensive capability of the shuttle may qualify. It was designed to be able to capture satellites and return them to Earth.

We have no evidence that this capability was ever used offensively though.

EU parliament gets bonuses?

The Biden administration created a coordinated censorship apparatus with the major social networks.

They handed a guy a seven month jail sentence for posting a joke that Hillary voters could text in their votes.

Are you aware of the reachability gesture in iOS?

I’d probably still be on my 13 mini if this feature didn’t exist.

Yes I am, and it is a nice hack.

But it does not make my hand bigger to hold my phone, and it adds a gesture i.e. friction to the UX.

Something smells wrong. You could dump a gigawatt into resistive heating and not see such temperature rises so far away.

Luckily, modern cooling techniques like heat pumps are much more efficient than resistive heating, 300% to 500% efficiency is easily attainable. You can keep the inside of a data center nice and chilly at room temperature even in the middle of a heat wave.

Then there is also the heat island effect. Concrete boxes will heat up an area more than dirt or wood, even if those boxes are completely empty inside. If you build them near where people live, people are gonna notice. Houses have gardens, industrial complexes such as data centers and factories don't.

Also, the effect is more concentrated downwind, so the heat effect is not some kind of uniform distribution in all directions.

where there is a demand for results, academia will meet the supply

Right, yes, if people want something studied, grants usually are made available to study it.

i think we both know that this is not what i meant

HN guidelines are that I should choose the most generous interpretation of your comment, not the most likely one. It would be uncharitable and insulting to you to take your comment at face value.

HN guidelines also say something about flamebait but I guess you read past that part :) cheers, obviously not going to continue replying to you

Right, but didn't that one go out the window with your original comment? People follow all the rules some of the time, and some of the rules all the time.

I’m confused. Rejecting one GW of heat to the building exterior with heat exchangers is going to heat up the area around the heat exchangers.

If you had a hypothetical 1 GW generator and used a hypothetical 1 GW loadbank with 1 GW of resistive heating and a fan that was outdoors, the air temperature would rise.

The air temperature would rise near the heat source, and that hot air would rise in a plume and disperse, not seep out laterally.

That's surprising to me. You think a gigawatt of heat cannot be felt 500 meters downwind? How near before you experience the temperature rise in the article, if not that?
