MrOwnPut··on Smart ovens shouting out to servers in Russia and China
If you can only preheat and toggle off remotely that couldn't happen. The preheat could just auto turn off if you don't proceed.

They can also play with the oven at home too. You should teach them not to do those things.

If for some reason you can't teach them to use your phone responsibly then don't hand off your phone unsupervised.

All that being said, plenty of people don't have kids...

MrOwnPut··on Smart ovens shouting out to servers in Russia and China
> "Oh no did I leave the oven!?"

Opens app.. "whoops I did, toggle off"

> "Oh I'll have to cook soon"

Opens app.. "start preheating to x degrees, notify when ready"

> "Oh how long do I have left on my roast?

Opens app... "ok cool 30 minutes, I'll continue my workout."

I mean... putting the food in is only one short step in the very long process of an oven.

MrOwnPut··on Mexico cracks down on solar geoengineering
You still didn't answer the original question posed to you by the GP, so I don't know your stance or line of reasoning.

And I dispute, "but don't you dare try to help", since you it's not known it helps.

These experiments / solar geo-engineering / terraforming may hurt.

There's justifications for Mexico to stop these experiments, do you agree or disagree?

MrOwnPut··on Mexico cracks down on solar geoengineering
> To show how it doesn't matter.

It's counterproductive to talk about something that doesn't matter to you.

> You know, what you think also doesn't matter.

That's subjective. And it mattered enough for you to reply, and for countless others to read, and for me to write.

MrOwnPut··on Mexico cracks down on solar geoengineering
You answered his question with another question.

I believe your question is insinuating that pollution is branded as such and is really an experiment? I don't follow.. can you expand on that or clarify?

But first please answer their question before shifting the conversation.

MrOwnPut··on Mexico cracks down on solar geoengineering
If all voters felt that way democracy would fall because no-one would do anything.

So why comment in the first place if you think it doesn't matter?

What I think is... your thought was challenged so you backpedalled then just gave up and said the topic "didn't matter".

MrOwnPut··on Mexico cracks down on solar geoengineering
It was a question, I re-clarified.

In other words, do you think it was right for Mexico to stop this, or do you disagree with their actions?

MrOwnPut··on Mexico cracks down on solar geoengineering
So you support Mexico's stance then? I was asking for an opinion.
MrOwnPut··on Mexico cracks down on solar geoengineering
That's a cop out to the question and discussion.
MrOwnPut··on Mexico cracks down on solar geoengineering
Okay, so we're at the next step. Do you support Mexico's decision to stop experiments on the atmosphere that may cause issues?
MrOwnPut··on Mexico cracks down on solar geoengineering
I'm aware. But if it did cause issues it would concentrate in Mexico and dissipate globally.

But what I'm asking them is.. do they believe it's in Mexico's right to ask a person to stop experimenting on the atmosphere (global or otherwise) from their country.

MrOwnPut··on Mexico cracks down on solar geoengineering
Yes, you're missing my point to the GP, and he missed the point to the GGP.

It's in Mexico's right to stop experiments on the global atmosphere from their country.

MrOwnPut··on Mexico cracks down on solar geoengineering
I updated my post with a few questions to clarify your stance.

The point of the question is to ask whether you think this has 100% chance of not causing issues.

The next step of course would then be to say, okay if it isn't 100% safe then do you support Mexico's right to say, "hey this could cause us or the world harm, stop it".

MrOwnPut··on Mexico cracks down on solar geoengineering
So laws are arbitrary and if something is arbitrary it doesn't matter, so if anyone does anything that is arbitrary (in your mind) it doesn't matter?

Let's back up for a second. What percentage would you say this experiment has in being correct?

MrOwnPut··on Mexico cracks down on solar geoengineering
That's not the question. The answer to that is Mexico, the article is about Mexico judging it and "cracking down".

The GP was clarifying the context. You refused to talk about the meat of their argument and instead opted to be pedantic about how the atmosphere diffuses.

MrOwnPut··on Mexico cracks down on solar geoengineering
Okay... who would judge those who want to do experiments to the global atmosphere from their country.

(though as another user points out this would diffuse globally, but still be concentrated locally)

MrOwnPut··on Show HN: I “wrote” a kid's book with ChatGPT and Midjourney
Ah, yes I do agree with that.
MrOwnPut··on Show HN: I “wrote” a kid's book with ChatGPT and Midjourney
Kids are like sponges, and pretty much like training an AI.

Trash in, trash out.

Just because there is a bunch of trash on Netflix and elsewhere doesn't mean we should pollute the kid's world more with it.

Especially at the age of reading. 1-5 is the most important age by far...

MrOwnPut··on Astro 2.0
The previous sentence before your quote:

> Astro now helps you organize your Markdown with built-in parsing, validation, and automatic TypeScript type generation.

The bolded text leading the paragraph of your quote:

> deliver complete type-safety for Markdown and MDX

The announcement is about typing MDX. Also, Astro just works out-of-the-box with MDX, Next.js you have to do configuring. In others your don't get SSR. Personally Astro has the easiest and most flexible markdown experience ever. It makes sense to focus on that support and to lead with it. You can even have templates in JSX with MDX content files, cool stuff like that.

The Hybrid Rendering feature is really cool too. I have a few pages I wanted to SSR, but most of the site can be SSG. This saves from needing two projects. I can select pages to generate at build.

The rest of the error message optimization and dev tool improvements is always welcome.

Not affiliate with Astro btw.

MrOwnPut··on Seven years on, what do we know about the disappearance of flight MH370? (2021)
Did you read the article? It seems like it wasn't just silence edited out.

"At approximately 1:14 (a minute, 14 seconds into the audio, which can be heard here), the tone of the recording change to where to me, it sounds like someone is holding a digital recorder up to a speaker, so it's a microphone-to-speaker transfer of that information. That's a pretty big deal because it raises the first red flag about there possibly being some editing," he said.

The next part that raises questions is two minutes, six seconds in, through two minutes, nine seconds in, he said.

"I can hear noise in the room, along with the increase in the noise floor. I can hear a file door being closed, I can hear some papers being shuffled. so I'm further convinced that, beginning at 1:14 continuing through 2:06 to 2:15, it's a digital recorder being held up to a speaker."

"But yet, at 6:17, there's a huge edit because the conversation is cut off. It's interrupted. And the tone changes again," he said. "The noise floor, when you're authenticating a recording from a forensic perspective, is a very important part of the process. All of a sudden, we go back to the same quality and extremely low noise floor that we had at the beginning of the recording."

MrOwnPut··on TSMC is making the best of a bad geopolitical situation
Oh, so you're disputing the reason of what the military drill is for?

https://www.newsweek.com/xi-jinping-speech-suggests-china-in...

It's no secret what they want to do with Taıwan and what these exercises are for.

Only one country is poking at the other and won't rule out an invasion, no matter how you try to spin it.

MrOwnPut··on TSMC is making the best of a bad geopolitical situation
I believe I just did 2 comments above, before you joined in, why the hostility?

Is it really so difficult to focus on the actual aggression against a sovereign country and instead squabble over exactly where they were practicing to invade the country.

The point is they are practicing to invade the country, is it not?

MrOwnPut··on TSMC is making the best of a bad geopolitical situation
It was wording from a news outlet, but I clarified they crossed the Taıwan Strait median line.

The point of my post still stands, wouldn't you agree?

MrOwnPut··on TSMC is making the best of a bad geopolitical situation
The 28 aircraft crossed the Taıwan Straıt median line, knowing it's provocation.

I was answering GPs question of why the news cycles.

It's solely because of the aggression and the military drills around the island by Chına.

MrOwnPut··on TSMC is making the best of a bad geopolitical situation
January 2nd, Chına executed their second military combat drill around the island with at least 57 aircraft, 28 flew into Taıwan's airspace.

2 H-6 nuclear-capable bombers flew south of the island during this combat drill.

The last military combat drill was in late December. They have been ramping up in aggression.

Inaccurate assessment.

Your flagged and dead comment says others don't agree with your logic.

MrOwnPut··on It's legal to hit children in school in 19 American states
Sure? Contact your congressman.

Copying this as you said the same thing as another user:

Try to do anything to another adult with consent and you'll have criminal charges.

You can't ground another adult, or take away their stuff. You can with your child.

Also teammates slap each other on the bum all the time.

> What you're doing is trivialising abuse and violence by pretending physical discipline isn't.

Again, what you're doing is conflating abuse and violence with discipline.

> Try applying it to an adult without consent and see the criminal charges you'd face.

Try to do anything to another adult with consent and you'll have criminal charges.

You can't ground another adult, or take away their stuff. You can with your child.

the player doesn't hit the ball, the bat does.

when a baseball player gets slapped on the butt after a good run, would you say their teammate hit or struck them?

semantic debates are fun, how'd we get here? :)
