Per Apple, a new iPhone results in emissions roughly equivalent to burning 3 gallons of gasoline.

https://images.apple.com/environment/pdf/products/iphone/iPh...

The CO2 emissions of course aren't a perfect proxy for the environmental impact (and Apple is likely a leader in reducing the amount so other phones will be higher), but it at least gets us in the ball park.

Looking at the numbers I don't think phones are the first thing to worry about.
This reminds me of a crypto application I've been waiting for someone to build / explain why it would suck:

Secure enclave based verifiable recording devices.

So, a camera that uploads a signed hash of every image it takes using mobile connectivity as soon as it takes it. Or the same for video and audio recordings.

It's loosely inspired by Town Crier[0]. The notion is that instead of regarding arbitrary blocks of data as "recordings" we demote those to arbitrary blocks of data, and anything you want to claim as verified truth needs a time-stamped hash proving what device took it, where it was taken, when, and that it hasn't since been modified.

Disclaimer: I'm the furthest thing from a crypto person, this just seems like a nice use case to me.

Considering that "design thinking" is literally just critical thinking with some super simple guiding steps on problem solving, I'm curious to know what you think it doesn't apply to or what can't be solved with such a generic framework?

I mean the process is literally:

1. Understand the problem.
2. Define the problem.
3. Come up with ideas for solutions.
4. Test the solutions.

And iterate 3 and 4 until you have something you are happy with. It's hard to imagine how you can arrive at a solution in any other way.

edit: And this isn't to say that I'm defending design thinking, I personally don't like the term or the buzz around it, but I can't fault the process itself. I'm sure many people use it already.

> A classic example of this phenomenon is restaurants: who could possibly be against food safety? Then you read about how San Francisco requires 14 permits that take 9 months to issue... and you wonder why anyone opens a restaurant at all.

13 of those 14 permits are not for food safety, but that doesn't stop op-eds from being deliberately dishonest about it.

There's a principle concept that every expense has to be for the purpose of doing business. If it's not, then it will get hit with income tax, and sometimes even payroll taxes.

In practice nobody really monitors these things and many do abuse the system to cater for themselves etc. However if you find yourself an enemy who will report you (even just on suspicion), then you better have a convincing case for the tax authority and/or judge as your accounting gets audited.

There are a bunch of special benefit rules that can be used for lawful cost savings though. There are lawful ways to split car costs with company money, there are lawful ways to get a tax-free daily allowance if you're traveling for business, limited to some X days per month.

In general I think the company tax rates are low enough to do everything lawfully. Taking out profits as an owner incurs a 20% income tax to the company and zero taxes to the individual. In addition, if you've taken out profits before, then the company income tax is 14%, up to the amount that equals the average of the last 3 years. So if you take out similar profits on a regular basis, the tax rate is only 14% on everything.
Dictionary.com uses same definitions for both words, just in a different order. The first definition of acronym is when initials form a pronounced word; which is the second definition of initialism. So they're the same thing with the difference being vernacular.

Startup’s needle-free drug injector gets commercialization deal
I believe that small business commerce is primarily conducted online in the United States (by majority, if you look at platforms like Etsy, eBay, and Shoppify as a few examples). These business owners and their employees rely on the income generated by their businesses for survival, and the long term effects of a repeal of net neutrality endangers these businesses.

Yes, most of us think of funny cat pictures when thinking of the Internet, but it is a modern institution that nearly all of us rely on, every day, to function. While it might seem, on the surface, petty to compare the plight of French revolutionaries with our current dilemma, the repeal of net neutrality definitely endangers my ability to bring home food for myself and pay for housing. It is against my wishes, and I believe against the wishes of most citizens of the USA (of those that have opinions).
It wasn't merely bad luck, nor was it the will of the people. Rather than the DNC machine working to find which candidate the Democratic party voters at large preferred, they actively worked against Sanders; it was a machine to elect Clinton, not a machine to enact the will of the Democrats (the people, not the party's inner circle).

I doubt they learned anything at all from their failure to get Clinton elected, though. I don't know that Sanders could have won the general election, but arguably the DNC's sabotage of the Sanders campaign and their subsequent failure to win the general election (with probably Russian interference) has and will continue to cost us dearly, now that we have lost much good faith in our international relations.

People leave a lot of accidental breadcrumbs.

Consider that even what people believe to be carefully anonymized data sets can be reverse-engineered down to a scarily specific group of people, if not all the way down to the specific person individually. [0] [1]

Aside from the fact that some people have a conveniently weak definition of "anonymous", this is part of why it's worrisome to have so many people collecting and reselling browsing data and other types of user analytics, despite their repeated assertions of anonymity.

It's perfectly plausible to believe that with the right shuffle of declassified data, substantial new information will become apparent.

The Northern Virginia traffic situation is more the result of a failure to follow the projections put out in the 60s and build the required roads for the expected growth. I66 was recommended to be a minimum of 4 lanes each way at the time, but only half of that was put in. The number of roads and lanes on those roads is totally inadequate.

The main driver was that Southern Virginia had the political power at the time and refused to allocate money for roads in the north, preferring instead to build multi-lane highways to nowhere in the south. It's all different now with the explosion of the size of the federal government increasing the population of the north so that they're now in the driver's seat - 30 years too late now that the growth has occurred.

They did build the amazing HOV lanes on I95/I395 that manage to fit 2 lanes of traffic into the same space where 6 lanes could have been built. The 2 lanes change direction mid day further inhibiting traffic.

The argument that network neutrality is a new regulatory burden is wrong. Before the 2000s network neutrality existed because the ISPs did not have the network equipment to do deep packet inspection and filtering at large scale. By 2004 the FCC began looking to enforce network neutrality and began testing various legal authorities starting with the Madison River case, and culminating in the 2014 loss in Verizon vs FCC which forced Tom Wheeler to reclassify ISPs as common carriers in order to enforce net neutrality.

In other words, the whole history of "the single most important driver of not just economic growth but overall consumer welfare" has occurred under defacto network neutrality.
I did a year of community college courses and all but 2 of them were online. In person I hated 19 year olds wasting class time that I've paid for and loved being able to push forward online on my time.

That's my take on things and may not fit everyone but I see a end to the expensive roadblock as more education goes online.

So, meat rations?
Of course there will be a black market trade in them, so you are back to rationing by price again, with the slight advantage that everyone gets a "universal meat income".

I think it's impossible, and undesirable, to ration a commodity that people want, by dictat, perhaps even when there are strong negative health and social impacts, as with alcohol, tobacco, drugs, etc.

The route has to be by some form of economic penalty/redistribution, ie taxation (which people will accept to some degree), and/or through education, persuasion, cultural shift, etc.

About stuff off the shelf: I bought Focus Pep (https://www.amazon.com/Addrena-Stimulants-Boosting-Dietary-S...) a year ago or so off Amazon (I believe they are only sold through Amazon). Well, they helped me tremendously. I would take them minutes after I would wake up and I would then consequently have a want and go for a three mile run every day of the week. Then I would go to several of my classes and be focused to the dot. You could even say, I felt I was in a confident "flow" state when I took them. I ended having an all time best sleep schedule, since I took them in the morning so by nighttime I was so exhausted I would fall asleep early and wake up early. But the period when I took them, I would get sweaty easily, my entire being would be jittery, and I would not feel hungry throughout the day. I eventually got off them because I didn't feel natural and at ease, I always had an anxious need to do something. Though now that I'm not on them, I'm more prone to: being sad, overthinking about things, having trouble falling asleep and getting out of bed, not having a want to exercise, etc.

Suggestion: place powerups in areas of the map that have not seen combat recently.

It seems like almost all the combat is over Europe, and the other areas of the map are almost always completely unpopulated. The most fun fight I had was when one other aircraft and I got into a dogfight near SA/Antarctica. It lasted several minutes, just the two of us. Even so, it only happened because I followed him there, and apparently he was just exploring the map.

So if you were to track combat activity on something like a heat map, you could spawn upgrades and powerups in cold areas of the map. This would encourage players to go hunting for them. As a result, different areas of the map would see combat regularly, and the hotspots would move around.

Also, if you spawned players in away from other players, it would encourage encounters around the map instead of concentrated in one area.

Finally, I use WASD in home-row position, and I'd like to rebind the the shoot and action keys. If you could make this possible, it'd be great.

Thanks for sharing your work. It's a fun game.

I'm with you 100% that this is silly, show-off-y code golf at its worst. The fact that its purporting to generate something a bit sensitive (why else would you use the awkward `crypto.getRandomValues` interface?) is especially troublesome - sensitive code should be clear at all costs.

I spent a bit longer than 30 seconds looking at it though, and I think the 8 is actually significant - according to the RFC,

> "Set the two most significant bits (bits 6 and 7) of the clock_seq_hi_and_reserved to zero and one, respectively."

The right shift by `c / 4` seems to be taking care of this, at least if JavaScript's shift operator works the way I think it does.

The `1`s are to facilitate the goofy string creation trick.

The fact that there's some discussion around the meaning of the code on HN is a bad thing, of course!

Human nature is ripping society apart, not social media. The 20th century didn't have Facebook or Twitter, and yet they still succeeded in having two World Wars, the Cold War, multiple other wars, ethnic cleaning episodes, terrorism, and a whole other ton of stuff.
