Bulletproof on Japanese roads where immaculate paint is given or also on rural third world country roads?
imeron··on AMD Ryzen 9 5900X and Ryzen 9 5950X Dominate On Linux
It's coming and going. I've never thought a CPU release generates this much interest and crashes a site.

imeron··on Study shows proof that a safer UV light effectively kills virus causing Covid-19
I think if we reduce the common things (like the cold and flu) too much we will have more serious infections sweeping across the planet. The immune system needs training too.

Just like for kids living in a clean environment (no dogs, dirt, etc.) are more prone to illnesses.

This article is from 2017.
imeron··on Ask HN: Are we looking at a recession ahead?
> Nobody knows.

10 mill unemployed in the US in two weeks is a pretty good signal if you ask me ;D. That is something like 6% of the total work force.

imeron··on Azure Appears to Be Full
I heard from an insider that some Azure services had a 10x growth because of the recent changes in our society. It's not like you can prepare for a 10x hit.

My personal experience for our AWS CI infra that it's struggling more and more recently. Builds are slower on average than a couple of weeks ago. Maybe those VCPUs are not the same VCPUs as yesterday ;D.

imeron··on SEC proposes changes to “accredited investor” definition
Or any of the weird coin offerings. Which - if you believe in the thing not being a scam - is essentially a way of financing a company. Just like buying an investment in a small business.
imeron··on Coronavirus Real Time Map
Last updated: a few seconds ago "As of Jan 27, 2020 8:30 pm EST". The title of the page here on HN and also the last updated lines are kinda misleading.
imeron··on Apple Was Headed for a Slump. Then It Had One of the Biggest Rallies Ever
Is there a study out there which tested if Apple's stock and other S&P500 stocks are pushed ever higher by all this money pouring into unmanaged ETF indexes? E.g. if you buy an S&P500 index-tracking ETF you automatically buy a bunch of Apple shares too. This might mean that the trend of buying ETFs will help Apple stock price staying high.
imeron··on Ouster's new digital Lidar – 128 beams, ultra-wide view
16k each, and Waymo has 4 on it's cars? I think Elon was right to not care about LIDAR until the price point is right.

imeron··on Volkswagen Axes All Non-Electric Racing Programs Worldwide
I do wonder if racing cars for a brand has any meaningful PR value. I mean is there anybody out there buying Mercedes because they won the F1 championship?

imeron··on Car industry investment plummets in UK
I guess Brexit is a great blame if you want to close a factory.

Even-though, after-Brexit UK won't be part of the EU. A UK factory will export cars to the EU with mandatory customs fee and taxes. If your cars have to clear customs anyway why not build them in Ukraine?

Elon Musk said that Space X is not big on patenting stuff because it would not gain anything out from it and the competitors in other countries would just copy it blatantly.
imeron··on Eon Switches All U.K. Customers to Renewable Power
In my country they consider heating with wood "renewable energy". This is essentially cheating on the subject.

Very interesting indeed. WW2 cold: It would be interesting to know if this was a result of the increased dust in the air because of the war or just pure randomness.

imeron··on A Tiling Desktop Environment
I use the magnet app for this. Works perfectly when needed.

Interestingly I don't use it that often on my laptop's screen, but for my 34" widescreen it's a must have.
