This might sound insane, but if you modified this into a browser extension that runs locally (with options for one-off or continuous saving for entire browsing sessions) I would probably download it. Personally, I have well over 100TB of personal hard drive space in my home, and I would love to just download entire portions of my browsing history locally for archival reasons (and to truly defeat link rot).

As it is now, I personally wouldn't use it (but it's a cool project, definitely please keep working on this idea!).

Is that a real question? I too would refuse that in a programmer interview, unless it was joke. Of course the answer is white - polar bear and you are at the north pole. Even as a puzzle question it's pretty lame. Still puzzling over the boiling bagels on Mars one...
But how do you envision that Alphabet is going to leverage being "first-to-market" in this case?

I'm expecting that people in general are more concerned about other aspects of their cars, than the self-driving aspect (as long as it's there), just like people don't care much about what kind of GPS is built-in for a certain car brand. So I'm not sure that Alphabet would try to rush things.
It's not mine unless it's running on my own servers or computer - I created a really rough version of this several years ago that is saved to my computer (and from there into box).

Long and short, motors store power in magnetics when electricity is flowing. When its not, the coil loses its magnetization and turns back into electricity.

Now think of all the electricity as one big wave. Cause that's what it is. If you were running 12v , you can see upwards of 30v surge. This is bad.

The key is to equalize the power on the motor. And that's done by putting a diode in the reverse flow across the terminals. So that big flow of electrons can equalize itself BEFORE hitting other silicon (like the MOSFET or your RasPi).

Ideally, you want to do this for motors, electromagnets, solenoids, and inductors(well, unless you're doing an L-based filter , but aside the point). They all have this magnetic energy->electricity->surge thing going for them.
Great idea, thanks for the feedback :)
If you are growing from seed, does the bottom up absorption still work or do you need roots first? I tried googling this but I'm reluctant to visit some of the "green" websites that dominate the results from my work computer.

According to a factory I discussed painting options with in Dongguan (near Shenzhen) recently, local environmental pollution regulations have made traditional approaches to anodized steel powder coating (my inquiry) effectively illegal. The processes are still 'available' through amorphous parties (no discussion of distance or environmental regulation legality). However, that's coming from a factory so take it with a grain of salt. My takeaway, if any, would be this is part of a broader shift toward stronger environmental protection efforts led by forward-thinking regional governments, not Beijing.

I see how this is at least possible in Chrome, but how would this work in browsers Google doesn't control?
Exactly. 3 out of 4 Canadians are in 'normal' housing markets and have nothing of particular concern on the horizon. To frame it as a Canadian issue, where 75% of the population are seemingly unaffected, seems disingenuous. As we see from the average figures, the US market has surpassed (granted, only just) the Canadian market. If the US market is only close to overheating, Canada lags behind that.
Good point. Those are ads they are displaying.
It depends on how deep your pot is. For normal pots it probably doesn't work without roots.
Alas, this excuse won't get you out of the conundrum. Its one thing to take zero responsibility for the actions of your government, and by definition, ones own people .. but its another thing entirely to continue to fail to take responsibility in face of the disaster.

He's not your President, okay .. we get it, Americans. He's not our (non-American) President, either. But .. Russia or no Russia .. YOU are the only ones who can do anything effective about this disaster.

So, start taking responsibility and quit the whining, kids. America is a disaster waiting to happen: DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

(Don't wait for Russia to fix it.)

I bought this moisture sensor for a gardening project

https://www.tindie.com/products/miceuz/i2c-soil-moisture-sen...

Haven't had the chance to try it out in soil yet, but reading the comments it looks promising. It uses capacitance instead of resistance and connects directly to the I2C pins of the Pi. So, easier to setup and should be more reliable.

On the software side I use Grafana
https://grafana.com/

Not really made for gardening projects but its monitoring and alerting capabilities are pretty much perfect for this kind of application. Not to mention how easy it was to set it up on the Pi and get all (temperature, moisture, light) the sensor data in.
Google has a dominant position in search. Google also has lots of other businesses offering different products and services. Maybe those other businesses really are the very best in their respective markets, maybe they aren't. In a proper market, we would find out which is best from seeing them compete against other companies' products/services, and the need to out-compete other companies would drive quality up and prices down.

What actually happened was that Google removed the need to compete with anyone, by always listing its own other businesses up-front in search results. Since Google has the dominant position in the search market, this guarantees a steady stream of customers to the other businesses, even if they're not as good as other companies' products/services, and means they don't face competitive pressure. Without competitive pressure, quality doesn't get driven up and prices don't get driven down.

Since we want competitive markets to drive quality up and prices down, we have laws which don't allow a company that dominates one type of product/service to use that as a way to achieve dominance in other products/services by avoiding the need to compete.

Isn't there some question over whether Russia supplied illegally obtained data, such as emails or voter registration details (or metadata generated from said data), to the Trump campaign? That's more than social engineering. It's potentially hacking and collusion.

EDIT: Wow, quick to downvote. I thought we were in favor of waiting until the investigation concludes to say decisively whether or not collusion happened.
That's true. It's so annoying when I duck into Firefox for a minute while doing web development and Google yells at me to get me to install Chrome, even though I already use Chrome 99% of the time.
My point is that it's nonsensical that they would have to feature anyone at all.
Mathematically a Function is a Relation that has two special properties: uniqueness and existence.

(these properties names can be wrong as I've not study calculus in English)

So on the machine, Immutability plays an important role on the first piece, uniqueness, so it tries to guarantee that results are not just "equal objects, but different instances", which breaks the function definition.

Of course that functions that return a new object for the same arguments, even if it's immutable, are not true math functions.

I would add that it takes significant experience and preparation to interview people effectively. This is a difficult-to-learn soft-skill that not everyone has.

They're returning relevant information Customers are searching for. If it wasn't relevant or useful people would use a different Service they'd deem more valuable to them. A major part of Google's simplicity is they provide a single search box you can use to search for anything, I don't want to have to go to 100 different sites to search for 100 different things.

The FTC did investigate Google for this exact same thing, and the investigators recommended action be taken.

"Staff concludes that Google's conduct has resulted - and will result - in real harm to consumers and to innovation in the online search and advertising markets. Google has
strengthened its monopolies over search and search advertising through anticompetitive means..."

It went nowhere though:

"The staff recommended bringing a lawsuit challenging certain Google practices. The Commission ultimately voted, 5-0, not to bring charges against Google."

> They're designed, instead, to be conspicuous consumption

This is the key point in the thread. The legitimate criticism of McMansions isn't about their architecture per se, it's about the owners. I'd go so far as to say that the bad architecture is deliberate -- its senseless variation and useless ornaments call attention to the house. This is crass ostentation and nothing more. It says, "look at me, I can afford a big ugly house (and you can't)."
> I can't think of a single U.S. city that does this. They're all exact change only or proprietary ticketing systems

MBTA in Boston had the mTicket app for mobile ticketing and payments for years. I live in Boston and use the app regularly. Can't comment on other cities because when I visit for a short trip I typically don't bother installing apps.

Amtrak and most airlines use mobile boarding passes too. Interestingly enough, on my recent trip to Europe I used the mobile boarding pass in Logan airport just like everyone else. But in Frankfurt when I showed my phone to the agent they looked at me like I was from another planet, probably thinking "stipid americans"

And while we're on the subject of transportation, about 5 years ago I visited a bunch of european countries, including my home country in Europe, and at that time the only way to call a cab was via dialing the local phone number, cash only of course. Funny because on that trip heading to the airport in the States was matter of acouple taps in the Uber app.

As an interviewee, I would roll my eyes at the ignorance of the interviewer.

This is the sort of question that reveals the ignorance of the person asking it. The correct answer is "yes". What is 'modern'? There are very modern embedded CPUs that operate in the low MHz range. How much power is being provided? A 'modern' CPU can be underclocked to ridiculous levels for power savings. What's an operation? Are we talking MOV AX, 1 or are we talking hashing a string?

It's the kind of question a dumb person asks thinking they're being quite clever.
Instead of measuring soil moisture try:

- measuring air moisture of small upside down cup on top of the soil
- measuring weight of the whole pot

Or don't measure at all and instead use precise amount of water on precise times (RTC module, medical grade piezo-electric pump). My similar project is on hold at 20 or so sketches of various types of water pumps.

Show HN: Could Augmented Reality Change the Future?

It's exactly the same logic as the Microsoft antitrust case.

Microsoft had a dominant position in operating systems. Then they developed a web browser, and rather than compete against other web browsers, simply bundled it into the operating system. This meant they got an instant dominant position in web browsers. But they didn't get it by being better than other web browsers, they got it by being just good enough that people wouldn't bother going to the effort of evaluating other options, since their browser came with the operating system. This effectively ended the competitive market for web browsers.

Google has a dominant position in search. Then they developed a lot of other products and services, and rather than compete against other companies offering those products/services, they simply pushed their own versions to the top of search-result pages. This meant they could get an instant dominant position in the other markets. But not by being better than competitors; they could get it by being just good enough that people wouldn't bother going to the effort of tracking down other options, since Google's version was right there in front of them already. This could effectively end the competitive market for many types of products and services.

Any time a company uses a dominant position in one market to subvert or outright end competition in another market, that's bad. And in many places, including the US and the EU, is also illegal.
Yeah, and---literally, not to be snarky---times change.

FP isn't a technical definition. It's a cultural, family-resemblance definition that's driven by some mixture of fashion and genuine exploration into a niche of ideas in computing and formal languages.

The best you could hope for would be a set of shared values of the FP culture and then justifications for why various things that call themselves FP feel that are upholding those values. Even with a definition like this though, the values will shift and waver over time.

Here's my FP values:

* Simple over easy.

Rich Hickey's old egg. Favor abstractions with few moving parts,
reduced interactions, and more parsimonious overall models over
ones driven by metaphor or target use case alone. Result is
tools which are perhaps harder to get started using but have
better complexity scaling properties.

* Mathematics has been doing this a long time.

PLs are just formal languages and mathematicians have been working
seriously on formal languages for at least 150 years: steal their
ideas. From this we get ideas around comparative linguistics,
semantics, various proof/reasoning mechanisms and types.

* Readability counts, but not just in the sense of syntax.

Really this means "legibility" or even "static legibility". It's
another hint toward types, immutability, and general state space
reduction. It's a strong push away from "emergent behavior" to the
greatest degree possible. Things should endeavor to do what they
say on the tin... and to to the greatest degree reasonable say things
on the tin in such a way that the information is available from the get-go.

* Tradeoffs between power-to-construct and power-to-analyze.

This is everywhere in formal languages/PL, but it's especially strong
in FP since there's a focus on (simple over easy) semantics. It opens
the door for there to be mathematical semantics as opposed to just
operational semantics and this makes for rich opportunities for on-the-tin
static reasoning (equational reasoning, changing interpreters, embedded DSLs).

I think these values more or less were in place back in the old Lisp-y FP days, but they really are taken to new places by "more modern" takes on FP.
Note that this happens just as Google scored a small win in France: a french tribunal advised the authorities that Google's tax evasion scheme with Ireland might be perfectly legal, and it might not have to pay the €1.15B the French authorities says they owe for 2005-2010.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-06-14/google-ge...

Note that this is far from the end on this story. But it just shows the sheer scale out of which EU countries are being "optimized" out of tax revenue. Add the monopoly abuse to the mix, and they have every right to make sure the law is respected.
It's the royal "we". I should have mentioned in the post that I reign over a small kingdom.
