- nerdsniperI believe a LinkedIn profile is mandatory to apply to YC. I could assume you might not be interested in applying to YC, but it’s an interesting fact, and might generalize somewhat for many other applications.
- They share the same gas field with Qatar, who does all their desalination with all the excess gas production they can’t sell.
Qatar has no surface freshwater or groundwater. So all of their water is desalinated. It’s often still quite salty to the taste though - the last few ppms would be an exorbitant cost to remove.
However, Qatar has 3 million people. Iran has 92 million people - 9 million in Tehran alone. So their half of that gas field in the Gulf contributes far less energy per capita.
And even if the energy is free (unlimited natural gas, fusion, magic, whatever) desalination is still fairly expensive. I think only about 50% of the cost is energy, the other half is CapEx, operations, and replacing the membranes as they get used up.
- How much do these interns get paid per hour?
- I believe their legacy IDE was a fork of Eclipse.
- Thank you!!! Needed exactly this at work.
- Take a look at this comment section. None of the other comments are making this political. The rest of us understand it’s not a “MAGA thing”.
- > Now let's look at left-leaning apps and how insecure they are and how quickly they patch vulnerabilities.
Your point stood fine without this. It might make sense for a different audience but this audience understands all of that.
- So let's say I'm in charge of $COUNTRY_A, and `codeddesign is in charge of $COUNTRY_B. Every time someone tries to go to $COUNTRY_B to get political asylum from me, all I have to do is claim that they should be found guilty of embezzlement and that's enough for you to return each and every person to $COUNTRY_A to face trial?
You say that you are "all for political asylum". What's a good example of how political asylum should be used, or has been used in the past that you support?
- > After Li quit the party, auditors trawled through his finances — usual practice for departing officials. Three years later, in 2017, they declared him clean.
- > Automatically shutting off/disabling or limiting the use of cell phones (all of which come with sensors that can detect when you are going at speeds you'd expect while in cars) might help.
I can’t think of a way to implement this that wouldn’t ban passengers from using their phone while riding in a vehicle. Which could be even a bus or limousine.
- I’ve always been wary of overconsuming fat-soluble vitamins (ADEK). Seeing strong medical consensus that 6000IU/day of Vitamin D is safe and even desirable gives me confidence to supplement more liberally.
- The article says the battery lasts for years. Is that a misleading claim?
Edit FTA:
> How long does the battery last?
> Roughly 12 to 15 hours of recording. On average, I use it 10-20 times per day to record 3-6 second thoughts. That’s up to 2 years of usage.
- Because Wikipedia. My edit got immediately auto-bot-reverted[1] by some anti-vandalism crusader. Insert bell-curve meme[1] where "just edit wikipedia" is the middle of the bell-curve.

- For non-citizens, there's not really any law against them installing malware on your phone which could persist through a factory reset. Though I've not heard of such malware for flagship phones.
- AV1 is fine as-is. Plenty of technical titles on HN would need to be googled if you didn't know it. Even in yours, HDR10+ "could be anything if you don't know it". Play this game if you want, but it's unwindable. The only people who care about AV1 already know what it is.
- What type of contamination causes purple-tinted skin? Googling isn’t turning up much (but then…maybe I should try Kagi instead these days)
- > No more spying issues.
This isn't possible. And this explains why: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFw4F2AyaP4
We can only minimize the amount of extra information given to the client, not eliminate it. And at high enough skill levels, even 1-2ms of extra information will always be actionable, even by humans (not just bots).
- > It’s allowed because it just runs locally like any overlay and doesn’t interact with their systems.
This is account is spamming - as in advertising on HN. This software is definitely not "allowed" during any typical leetcode interview. The website is very explicit and upfront about this being cheating.
They're also posting during the middle of the day in the country where the company making this product is headquartered, and it's 4AM in the country where the vast majority of HN users are.
- In some states, it is the law that officers can order you to step out of the vehicle during any valid traffic stop, regardless if it is criminal or civil.
In some states it is the law that if you are from out of state and get a speeding ticket, you either have to pay the officer in cash while you are stopped or they can take you to jail until money is posted or it is your court date.
This happened to a friend of mine from Wisconsin, visiting me in Michigan about ten years ago. I was shocked to learn this was actual Mochigan law, and could hardly believe it even after verifying it. He felt very “lucky” to have had several hundred dollars in cash to simply hand over to the officer. Michigan only just rescinded those laws in 2019: https://landline.media/michigan-laws-end-roadside-cash-payme...
- Bit of a trial-by-fire for the brand-new CEO. Her pick was announced September 3rd, and two months later on November 9th this hit her desk.
