"[T]hey refuse to consider.." We all bring our own experiences, but as one of those highly educated women, many men refuse to consider me. A lot of guys do still want someone who doesn't match them economically or intellectually.

Of course this is not universal. But have you ever had a guy (gal) just walk away from you in a club after hearing what you do for a living? Math. The death knell for a previously reasonable flirtation.
From past experience I've found that taking an economic/scientific approach to certain things, especially human relationships, is considered a profane act in certain parts of modern day society. Many of my past attempts to discuss the economics of relationships results in accusations of sociopathy for attempting to understand relationships under a transactional framework. I've yet to figure out the cause of such opposition.

That HN doesn't result in this reaction (at least not nearly as strongly as other places) means it is one of the places most equipped to discuss it.

But it is possible for the most equipped place to discuss something to still be woefully inadequately equipped to discuss it. The richest person in a room can still be poor.
Can anyone comment on the feasibility/state of the art for extracting lithium from seawater?

I've found an article [0] which describes a specially made membrane which allows lithium ions to pass, but nothing larger. If it's really possible to scale this up cheaply, the supply of lithium will be constrained by the supply of power, not scarce mineral deposits.

I'm sure you realize this, but some might not: a 747-8 in 2017 is very different from a 747-100 in the 1960s https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_747#Specifications
Hum... The GP is almost certainly seeing those Chevy ads because he researched it. Not the other way around.

That's how tracking ads (don't) work. You usually get ads for things you just brought (or decided not to), hoping that you didn't actually buy it yet or will buy more than once, and the medium can intermediate the transaction.
But that oppresses my feelings!
What you call “trouble” others would term “fun” or “challenge” or “the whole point of doing it yourself”.
Probably has to do with the way airlines schedule their flights, depending on the final destination and direction. Sometimes you'll catch a flight and can't make a connecting flight for several hours.

20 years ago or so I ran an ISP and for fun we added a 'back to (your ISP)' link to our pages for the main other ISPs in our market. Mostly because we were kids showing off. It took a couple of days before we got a call from one of those ISPs to warn us someone had hacked us and added a link to their pages...
They were worried we'd blame them so wanted to tell us right away...
Did you miss "a bee" in your search query?
Ok, I’ll bite. How does Alexa/home/whatever differ from your laptop? your laptop has a 10x more dangerous attack surface with a full featured web browser and a load of internet-connected apps, and yes it has a microphone too.
if shells had some more types than a stream of bytes, it'd make sense for 'image' type data to be displayed as images. the pipes you mention are then simply type casts or conversion functions.
Just keep in mind you need some antenna diversity for the MIMO to work. Adding the foil increases the directivity, which you don’t want for MIMO. Though it improves fringe reception, it may reduce the data rate for devices that already have sufficient SNR.

>Even Japan is getting more heavy handed than they were, and in Asia, they are the most liberal of all governments in comparison.

I feel like this isn't really true; Taiwan, and arguably South Korea have more liberal societies and governments.
I have been waiting for several years for color eInk displays to come about. I am fine with a refresh rate of even something like multiple seconds. Thus far the only thing I have found are companies in China that are willing to fix a single image on a color eInk display (no idea what the point is if the image can't be changed, but that is my understanding) before shipping. I haven't went hunting within the past year or so though.. anyone know if there's been any progress on that front?
You can leave anything plugged in if that’s your problem. A dc wall transformer can take the place of a battery in just about any device.
It's very much easier to measure hours of physical presence than actual value of a worker's output.

The other problem is that if you measured people purely by output, 10x developers (assuming you believe in such a concept) would be able to work 1/10th as much and would very visibly be missing much of the rest of the time. This would lead to a lot of resentment from people who are less productive and would be having it rubbed in their faces.

To get to a place where people are judged purely on output we would need to change society such that the notion of equality was essentially never mentioned or thought about at all. Because people's productivity is wildly, wildly unequal.
The example of modifying `ls` struck me as something that ought to be possible in any Linux distribution with minimal effort. Instead, we have a situation where most people use binary packages, so the source isn't even available to modify. And even if you run a source-based distro like Gentoo, editing those sources by hand can still be quite intimidating. Version control makes it easier to experiment fearlessly (although it's still possible to brick your system...).

It's irresponsible to say that you want something to become absolutely more expensive just so some other amusing method of production becomes comparatively less expensive. The idea behind solving problems is to make life better, not make live hard so it can be made almost as good as before.

An iPhone X doesn't provide a better user experience to my hypothetical user than an iPhone 8?
"After two months using an iPhone X, I’m convinced Apple succeeded. The iPhone X is a triumph, a delightful conceptual modernization of a ten-year-old platform that, prior to using the iPhone X, I didn’t think needed a modernization."

There's the tldr. And for anyone accustomed to Gruber's writing, it was a predictable conclusion.
Yet Bombardier itself is subsidized to the point where many have suggested it would be easier to just nationalize it...yet no one is critiquing that arrangement
I'll admit it started skeptical based on the headline, but reading the page, I changed my mind, this seems like something worth at least trying to see what package management feels like. It'd be pretty cool if something like this could help smooth out package version incompatibilities.

In particular this idea is intriguing (and the honesty about not having tried it is appreciated):

I've been looking for a SBC with at least 2 gigabit Ethernet ports to use as a router, firewall, and netflow generator on my home network.

I almost bought an Espressobin, but English-language websites only had the 1GB version and I just couldn't figure out Taobao to try and order the bigger one.

At this point I'm probably going to get a PC Engines APU 2 board, which is a quad-core AMD Geode processor w/ 4 GB of RAM. I can get it with a 60GB mSATA drive, a case, a wifi miniPCI board, and all the wiring for external wifi antennas for $243 shipped. That's a little steep but the other advantage is that the x86-64 architecture should make OS support easier, unlike all these little ARM boards that get one hacked-up kernel release and no updates after that.
Interfacing them isn’t too bad, your basic atmega328 should be able to do it handily if you’re comfortable with spi/i2c and co. The problem is that they all come as FPC (micro ribbon cables, those orangish-brown display strips) so you need to at the very least get a compatible FPC to DIP breakout board if you’re not comfortable with SMT work.
So looks like they were right when they said it would encourage innovation. Go figure.

I started with Particle because it's so easy to get going, partly due to the OTA firmware loading. If I remember correctly I only needed an app on my phone and the in-browser IDE. No wires, no programming hardware, etc.

From there on I transitioned to more DIY things like the ESP over time, buying cheap stuff from AliExpress.
You already have an internet connected microphones in your house. Its your computer, your chromecast or firestick, your smartphone has three, your laptop, your smart tv, anything IOT, heck, I once connected a speaker system to become a mic at a friends house and broadcast it over a SRD. It maybe that they don't understand but many "in the know" seems pretty hypocritical when they examined there own self. I know this isn't going to be a popular opinion on HN.

When we start to talk about government surveillance I think people go over board and start looking at IOT devices over aggressively. It not hard to bug a house, people are usually gone for at least 8 hours a day on weekdays. If I was doing an ops, it be easier to break into their Wi-Fi and infect a device that way or break into their house and just plant a bug or two rather than wait and get a warrant for their data from Google or Amazon which is time consuming and filled with paper pushing, plus the added fact that Google and Amazon have both pushed back in recent years in court battles.

When it comes to "Big Brother" you are fighting a rather big monster with zero days, money and time on its side. Even as someone with enterprise grade networking equipment in his house and a security background, I just know its a time game if you fighting the "MAN". I had a friend that was super paranoid. Enterprise gear, no IOT, custom linux router with live patching, some pretty cool stuff. Asked me to pentest him. A door left unlocked (planned to use a bump key) by his wife before leaving the house and a PoisonTap attack on a windows computer and he was pawned.
GAME OVER.
> But telling someone they can face their problems, and having that person feeling guilt or worthless because of that is not the same thing.

That depends on who is listening, which is why, initially, I urged care to be taken in how we frame these things. On the internet we don't know who is reading or what they need to get better. At the right moment, for the right person, your advice could be just what they need, but at the wrong moment, it could add to their despair. Because we can't choose who is reading.

Ask HN: After studying from indiehackers, giving it a try
New tech that removes or bypasses existing barriers to entry (like the need to physically lay cable from house to house) is one possible way to create competition.
After studying all the startups from https://www.indiehackers.com/businesses ....here is what I have come up for my customer acquisition plans.

1.Start content marketting creating own blog

2.Publish the blog contents in Facebook page, Google+ page, medium

3.Search for groups, sub-reddits when my potential customers are clustering and actively participate in the conversation providing genuine help( only promote business when asked or feasible)

4.search for the questions by ppl in qoura and Reddit provide help without linkspamming or promoting.

This is my plans for next 2 months in order the reach out to my target customers... I dunno about how to use Twitter as channel since don't use Twitter. Hope I will achieve something out of it this time.
I'm sure they could do that detection without local updates in the future (disable the output if it detect a wrong context).
I resent that. Chicago gets 747s and 777s from British Airways and is about to get an A380 :)
That's easy to say, but there's the well-known last mine problem. How many separate companies will be willing to run cabling to your home just to compete bitterly with an incumbent? And even if that may happen in your neighborhood, will it happen nationwide? What about rural areas where you're lucky to have one fast ISP?

Agreed, the split into libraries can be fine.
At some point, you want teams to deploy independently of other teams.

2)
agreed ! thanks for adding the qualifiers !
Yep. Beat me to making the comment. This is already a solved problem.

A VPN solves this problem quite well. Only exception I see is overall bandwidth usage. They'll obviously still see the total amount of traffic going across their lines and may throttle that, but that would apply to everyone equally, which I don't have an issue with. Since they won't be able to see the traffic due to encryption, they can't inhibit/block certain sites or services. Nor can they inject ads or anything else into the HTML responses. They would also be essentially blind and unable to build a profile about you to sell.
Would it be hypocritical for Italy to host a chess tournament if the Pope banned it?
I converted a set of quasi micro services to a monolith 14 years ago, and the results were incredible in the truest word: you probably won't believe them.

100-1000x better performance, 10x reduction in machines used, ~100x reduction in number of processes, >100x improvement in reliability, deployment changed from "oh my god" to "copy this jar here", output improved, quality improved, development times improved etc.

https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-1-4614-9299-3_...

There can be good reasons for microservices. There rarely are. The Fred George piece that (I think) introduced micro services as a distinct concept specifically pointed out that they must be independent, that is, if one of the services fails you don't get that one service and that's it. Almost all real-world instances either fudge this or just blatantly disregard it.

Yep, do it. You’re interested enough to write it up, you should take a look at the home mini.

There are a fair number of people in this thread saying they prefer the dot, which is really interesting to me because I thought the home was the clear winner. Perhaps I need to give Alexa a second chance.

The big upside of the home is it has contextual understanding. “Alexa, what’s the temperature in Celsius” gives me the weather, including full day forecast (cloudy etc) in Fahrenheit. Google will tell me exactly what I wanted to know. I’ve given up on Alexa, but maybe “she” deserves a second chance.
I agree, expect a shakedown of the biggest players

In fact, I would be very happy if they were overcharged for it (especially Facebook) it would push them for NN
I understand what he's saying. And I don't think it's a zero sum game. That's just a phrase people like to use to sound smart.

People in poverty today are a hundred times better off than those in poverty in the 1500's. If it really was a zero sum game, then for all the iPhone X-toting SF hipsters, there would be thousands of people living in conditions worse than the Middle Ages.

I am a big fan of how Basecamp is run as a company, and of the work environment they create for their employees. (Or at least seem to. I don't have first-hand experience.)

You can get a sense of their philosophy by reading what the company's cofounders have written on the subject [0][1]. They've even written a book about it.

You may not buy it, and that is absolutely fine.

"About the only browser fully supporting XHTML was Firefox and authors hated it because the spec also demanded a yellow page of death if the XHTML had any syntax errors."

And this, kids, is why the Internet is, and always will be, such a mess. That was, and always will be, the correct approach to pages with syntax errors. Everywhere else trying to silently 'fix' syntax errors was soundly rejected as a source of innumerable bugs, but on WWW they are treated like line noise.

Because political activism takes a stance on a political issue. Simply being born in a country and playing chess does not.

Banning people because they don't agree with your politics is exactly what Saudi is doing.

No, it is what Israel is doing and Mozilla is doing as well. And Germany is doing with Nazi party, and so on. All are going to say it's because the given issue is that major for them. But what Saudi is doing is banning someone for being born in a country. Playing chess has nothing to do with agreeing with someone's politics.
