You don’t know that because the regulations have never existed. Please try to refrain from unscientific thinking such that there are things you think you can know without experimental verification. This is the thinking of a technological dark age.

You're accusing me of "unscientific thinking", but you're basically making an argument from ignorance? You haven't provided any rebuttals to my argument, and you're basically arguing "we haven't tried so if you try to argue against it you're WRONG".
I've been messing with this and you can get a very detailed view of another highly self-similar structure by changing the packsize to 1, the cellsize to 2, and then adding packSize++; to the end of the drawRow function.
Can we all stop making the football field/alligator/sedan/truck measure of length joke?
If you want to clown on Americans, quit using the imperial units at all! Be better than us, don’t stoop to our level and spit in our hair.
Coming from an American who switched to metric a decade ago to lead by example in my friend group.
You may see it has a clever, pithy joke but it is feeding American anti-intellectualism due to the pygmalion effect. Treat someone like they’re going to be stupid, and they’re going to be stupid.
I can drink from a marked 1L water bottle in the morning before I've weighed myself for the day and subtract the volume of water I drank so I don't have to weigh immediately when it's cold and I'd rather not be nude, which means I can take my ADHD meds without getting out of bed, letting me take them earlier which sets me up for success.
Calorie counts become more precise as well, when you measure in grams.
50kg and 100kg are intuitive bounds for healthy weight.
I don't know how to put into words how much more sense celsius makes than fahrenheit other than to say you intutively know that 0 is freezing and 30 is fuck me.
A kilometer is 1000 steps with an average adult stride length of ~1 meter. How many steps is a mile with an average stride length of 2.5ft-3ft?
There's some other stuff around cooking and sous vide.
it makes dealing with weights of liquids very intuitive.
I got taught about lying to children at the same time that I learned about the orbitals of the electron and that Neil Bohr model of the atom wasn’t totally correct, by the least woke chemistry teacher I’ve probably ever known.
Even he would read this and think That you were suffering from a semi lucid state of psychosis and he would begin seeking an annihilation after reading this.
While yes, lying to children does induce some cognitive overhead cost—and I personally believe that the act of learning and the act of changing one’s mind from something already learned is in a way painful (in so much as the brain can feel pain since it doesn’t really have any nerve endings) because of the forming of new connections and the breaking of old—I fail to see how that has anything to do with wokeism, other than being “woke” inherently requiring the critical thinking capacity to make those changes in things that you’ve learned.
My pet theory is that conservatives are conservatives because that pain is unbearable for them and they just hate learning or relearning or changing their mind at all.
Which leads me to ask after this ramble of yours: do you suffer from this pain?
I'd like to note that nerve endings just send signal to the brain, where the experience of pain results from the processing of that signal. A nerve is neither necessary nor sufficient, e.g. phantom limb pain or heartbreak.
The willfully blind by themselves are helpless, hopeless people who are incapable of perceiving things which they have at one point chosen not to see.
The lack of reasoning faculties is self-inflicted, as are the consequences that eventually pile up (without them noticing).
This makes them particularly weak people who bring misfortune on others, who are especially prone to delusion, as well as other forms of mental illness (psychopath/schizophrenia-like tendencies).
When they gaslight strangers, because they disagree with what that person is saying, they demonstrate their lack of inherent moral character. Good people don't do this.
There is an old saying, that's understood by many as extremely accurate wisdom:
"What a person does in the small things that do not matter is what that person will do every time, in big things that do matter, when everything is on the line."
You communicated far more than you meant to say for the people who can read between the lines.
One can hardly call the circular subjective abuse of the contrast principle, requiring any form of critical thinking capacity (its fallacy). Critical theory while resembling critical thinking are two very different (mutually exclusive) things.
Oh I was bawling during the Pa Kent scene in the theater yesterday, it was so good. I also cried at the way Superman was distraught over the treatment of the monster, and then also the scene with the kid and the flag.
I don’t have much to offer the conversation other than a linguistic alternative.
TAURUS: Torqued Accelerator Using Radiation Unleashed from the Sun.
Grammatically correct and it doesn’t drop a word just to mimic a sci-fi robot’s name in an incredibly awkward and stilted way. I like Interstellar as much as the next person, but that acronym felt like a stretch, and it leaves out (literally) useful information.
Why is this back on the front page of the site? It was posted several days ago and has little to nothing to do with the content and context of the site.
Why didn't the aunt think to just go get her instead of calling you over to say "Hey so I know you told her to stay away from the fountain, but what about her walking around the rim of it, is that dangerous or not?"
HN isn't just for tech, it's for anything that satisfies intellectual curiosity. It's not always obvious in advance what will turn out to satisfy intellectual curiosity, but if a good discussion develops, that ends up being the most important signal.
I have more intellectual curiosity about base58 and base85 and Metas wrist based gesture control system than I do a neglectful father who nearly let his daughter drown because he was too thick to realize that if it was deep enough for water to get up to his toddler’s elbows that she could drown horizontally.
It does not take a genius to figure this out. Would he have left his daughter in the bathtub unsupervised? Would he have let his daughter walk around the rim of the bathtub if it were up to her elbows?
I can almost guarantee that he would not have let her go freely at a place with a 2 foot deep kiddie pool, so why let her run freely around the yard with the 2 foot deep mossy pit?
To me, it’s a signal that this person should not ever be involved in any safety decisions in any product that interfaces with humans and the real world. They simply don’t have the proper risk assessment faculties.
My aunt is in her 70s, and no longer very fast or loud. She was also much closer to me than to my daughter (but my view was blocked by vegetation). Even if she had seen my daughter fall in, getting me to respond would still have been much faster and more effective.
Hanson’s razor says never attribute to malice what is adequately explained by stupidity.
Nowhere in there, does it say that stupidity should be acceptable or accepted.
Yes, fuck them for being too stupid to know better. At some point in their life they made a decision to disengage from any use of their brain, and have remained that way to the detriment of everybody around them.
This is the way I’ve been treating my clothes for years. I still have clothes that would’ve been thrown away a decade ago, but now they’re my favorite, softest shirts.
