I'm still rocking the original Oneplus One, with a Jan 2018 LineageOS installed.

I've been browsing stores to find a replacement phone since this one is getting older. Amazingly, I couldn't find anything vastly better in terms of screen, responsiveness and camera, even if I desperately wanted to justify a new toy. There are no new hardware features that OPO doesn't have.

All the apps that I want to run perform flawlessly. The camera is nearly on par with the OP5 camera, a phone specifically marketed on the camera quality (my wife has one so I could test it).

I ended up replacing the aging battery about a year ago, and continue using it.
The reality is that Python provided you with a paying job, because it carried you to where you are. The effort and sheer dumb luck involved in keeping a business alive to the point that some dev can complain about technical debt is a very underappreciated luxury.

Not that you are wrong, just saying...
The field-effect transistor was first patented by Julius Edgar Lilienfeld in 1926 and by Oskar Heil in 1934, but practical semiconducting devices (the junction field-effect transistors [JFETs]) were developed later after the transistor effect was observed and explained by the team of William Shockley at Bell Labs in 1947, immediately after the 20-year patent period eventually expired.
>Ok, but do people have a right to remember, too? If you murdered my daughter 30 years ago, I have a right to keep telling people about what happened, including about the person who did it.

30 years on? Why? What good can come out of it? Assuming that the person has served its time (or did it by accident or something)?
That alone would already be a good reason to hold on to a phone until it breaks. And after Apple removed the headphone jack, I'm also keen to keep a phone that still has one.
For the superstitious there's a useful epistemological dodge here.

The Roman Catholic Church says that Transubstantiation is a real phenomenon. When a priest says the magic words, ordinary wine and bread are transformed into the blood and flesh of Jesus Christ. It's not a metaphor, it really happens, it's a miracle. BUT although they are flesh and blood, they continue to have all the same detectable properties they had before, there is no way to distinguish them from ordinary bread and wine.

This is a rock solid, but completely useless epistemological argument. You can do it (to similar lack of actual effect) for anything, maybe I believe that this rock is actually the entire planet Jupiter except that it has all the same properties as an ordinary rock.
Of your last question: not a short list, though I did put together, tongue firmly in cheek, "Media, Advertising, Sustainability, Externalities, and Impacts: A light reading list" this past December after a similar request:

https://www.reddit.com/r/dredmorbius/comments/7k7l4m/media_a...

That should give you a basis for making some initial cuts.

The problem is, or rather, problems are:

1. I'm still catching up on the media / social-elements-of-information field, and have only been reading it in depth for slightly over a year (though I've had quite some years of general awareness). Which means that this list itself is somewhat aspirational (though I've at least taken a good look through most of the references cited).

2. What I've described above is a synthesis from a bunch of sources. I'm not claiming it's unique, mind, only noting that I can't really point you at some specific book and say "here, read this for that".

3. I'm coming to suspect the media field itself is not of one, or even some low-n number of minds, about major elements of these matters.

I think Tim Wu's Attention Merchants should get at much of the focus / diversity / attention element.

I've found Robert McChesney particularly compelling, and his Communication Revolution a strong overview of recent (past 20-40 years) developments in the field, particularly from a political-economic perspective.

Alvin Toffler's Future Shock digs into some of the elements of attention and information overload. It's a bit too popular itself, but should point to more robust literature. Herbert Simon in particular.

Hope that helps.

> provision for cycles than we will probably ever have.

I'd recommend a brief history of cycling infrastructure in the Netherlands. It was actually quite poor here, too. i.e., it wasn't culture naturally shaping a cyclist-first traffic regime throughout Dutch history, it were conscious policy decisions to uproot a car-friendly traffic regime and make a decades-long effort for change. The Dutch system sucked in the 50s and 60s and it changed its policies in the 70s, which took off only in the 80s.

You seem to be fixed too much on theory, and not (indirectly observed) reality.

The article is very light on hard facts, and doesn't show a single picture of gravitational lensing for example - much more obvious that something not visible with very strong gravity is in path of photons from background.

Relativity theory (proven countless of times in last 100 years) covers this topic very extensively, black holes are a direct result of crossing certain gravitational threshold and can't be avoided.

I think what you describe as an 'issue' is same as racer overtaking another, coming 1/2 meter behind, then 1/4, 1/8th etc. This goes into infinity, so in theory overtaking should never happened (cca infinite sum of finite numbers should be infinity, sorry for the lack of proper english math expressions). Yet in reality it does, and simple arithmetic solve this (forgot the exact name for it, but it's max high school level).
I don't know if it works (it's been a loooong time since I looked into it), but here's the gist of it: https://bpaste.net/show/d594943a379e

In that example, subclasses of Runnable can be transferred. However, only the corpus of the "execute" method and the "properties" object is transferred. If you need to access modules, you'd have to import them inside the execute method.
In year 0, the science did not know anything because "science" as we define it today did not exist. The scientific method was not widely practiced until 16th century (and even then it was severely limited).

> They could equally well be attached to sperm just before sexual intercourse. Ms Chan therefore concentrated her attentions on part of the male genital tract called the epididymis. This is where sperm mature. Cells lining the epididymis constantly discharge small, fluid-filled, membrane-bound bubbles called vesicles. When Ms Chan, working with mice, looked in detail at these vesicles, she found that they contained lots of micro-RNAs.

So, if you have unprotected sex with a women who recently was or will be impregnated by another man, you can still pass your microRNA and affect the child?

I'm not morally opposed to gun control. For me, it's more practical.

Let's say that we did "ban guns" like we "ban drugs" and now we have a "War on guns". How affective has the "War on drugs" been? How evenly has it been applied? Why would anyone think that the same biased criminal justice system that applies punishment and enforcement of drugs unequally would all of the sudden start applying stricter gun laws equally?

Why do we think that we could anymore keep guns out of the hands of criminals than we could keep drugs out of the hands of people?
> Fishing is gigantic and unprofitable

Well, we certainly could stop fishing; but then, several hundred millions of people will die of famine

> We are not fishing well, there is a big problem with illegal fishing, etc...

100% agree. We (occident and asian) are literally grasping the fishes from the hands of people dying of starvation.
> When stuff like this comes up it always seems so weird to me that with all the work that regulators put into this, why can't they at least scratch the surface of providing some specific examples?

Technology is something which constantly changes. From the point of view of the legislator, legal text that is too concrete will stagnate innovation and progress by "locking" people into current technological assumptions. The text becomes inappropriate/outdated when the next wave of technologies come along.

Thus legislators try to document the spirit behind a legislation and try to stay away from concrete implementation details as much as possible, in order to give people maximum freedom to decide how they should implement things, and maximum freedom in technology choices.

So yes, to us implementors it is a hassle because we have no idea what we should concretely do. But we can also see this as freedom to explore how to best implement an idea.

I expect that in the next few months/years, domain experts such as us will debate and decide on implementation best practices.
I assume only die hard leftists like you downvoted my comment despite me writing:

> Smart regulators can help free market to get rid of dishonest projects.

I gave you one unrelated example of total stupidity of regulators - H1B visa.

Instead of high salary requirement, it has bachelor degree requirement. Having bachelor degree tells absolutely nothing about qualification of employee. In fact, there are shitload of bachelor degree holders in computer science who don't know difference between O(n) and O(n^2) and have no idea what red-black tree is. H1B is abused badly. Large majority of H1B quota goes to very questionable body shops who flood the market with cheap labor. It can be ended very quickly if high skills determined by size of salary and bonus. Yet for years, regulators still can't figure it out.

Not to mention that while high skilled indians and chinese wait green card for decades, some lucky and completely unskilled people get green card straight away by winning diversity lottery.

There is endless list of stupidity of government.

I'm sure there is a lot of people here in HN who just hate cryptocurrencies and just want to kill the market by government machine.
"If you prevent that from ever happening" is the key part here. There's no magic that can prevent that - there are a number of factors (e.g. heat pressure, rotation, neutron degeneracy pressure, etc), all of which we can estimate, and which generally increase as the star shrinks/collapses.

An active main-sequence star can be very large without collapsing, as the nuclear reaction inside sustains its size. But for a neutron star the limit is much lower - under a certain mass limit, the stable size is still sufficiently large, but above a certain mass a neutron star can not be larger than the expected event horizon, there's nothing sufficient to prevent the collapse from happening, and it will collapse to a black hole.
After +1 hour reading things start to be surreal.

But that doesn't mean it's not decentralized. Think The Pirate Bay. It runs on domain names, some of them get blocked, new ones appear. It runs on servers, some of them get blocked, new ones appear.

That's the way the web works - your domain name points to an IP. That doesn't tell you much about the underlying architecture.

Unfortunately DNS is centralized, and your average user relies on it. If you want a successful project, you must be on the web.

It's mining but most of the mining rewards are distributed to content creators and only 1 out of 20 blocks are going to the actual miner while 19 go to the witnesses (Delegated Proof of Stake).
Having a platform that incentivizes popular content should in theory attract popular content to the platform. This should attract viewers to the platform, thus increasing the viewership available to see your less popular content.

Meanwhile, incentivizing popular stuff doesn't take anything away from you or your content. You're not being penalised, so why complain?
Yes. But it would more likely be the case where they are encrypting the data before hashing it to reduce the chance for a hash collision.
that knowledge while widely available within the engineering community isn't a given outside that circle. We're kind of arguing in a bubble. From a marketers pov they can sell it as "revolutionary proprietary PQ-proof, AI resistant and other made up bunch of words", and the masses buy it and don't care about it as long you tell them it's safe.

The market today isn't controlled by engineering or common sense but by whoever shouts the loudest. And once people/companies commit to a certain technology (ideologically and/or financially) it'll be even harder to convince them of them betting on the wrong horse. Why bother with any solid (expensive) engineering practices when you can just raise money based on a whitepaper, entice the first investors by pointing to a hoard of shills all backing your warez, then use the noise generated by ICO promises to ward off any critics. So all you need to do is make your tech political and you can get away with anything thanks to the noise.

Rolling their own broken crypto wasn't the only problem that made infosec community get outraged. Bypassing peer-review processes and then threatening with litigation and insulting researchers ("Hi Neha, are you drunk?") was all part of why nobody wants to touch them with a 10ft pole now. The worst of it is that none of this will stop IOTA from continuing on this road and they'll just play the same game that Trump plays with his hardcore supporter base. Forget about arguing with technical arguments because they'll just wear you down as the discussion with Matthew Green has shown. When their lead engineer thinks that a hash function doesn't have to be collision resistant then there is simply no point in wasting your time trying to make them see the problem (they won't)

9 Tips to Make Your Computer More Secure
Yes, we target mobile browser and it works good in most. We did get a report that it is slow on Samsung browser for one user, but haven't looked more into it yet. It is also very slow on Firefox on Android, but according to some bug reports we found on Firefox it is because they have problems with performance on Android when using several layers of canvas. So as long as you don't care to much about the 0.5% who use Firefox on Android or don't need to use layers you should be good.

Usually you can trust ~50% of the information in popular 'specialty' subreddits, but the crypto subs are straight up useless beyond major headlines. Even then, the discussions are 90%+ trolls and shills and 10% memes. Steem and Bitcoin Forum have been better, but all around the larger problem is that things move so quickly that the information you're looking for is probably no longer accurate.

The chaos is one of the most interesting factors for me. It reminds me of the internet circa 1995 - you have to do your own research, estimate/predict larger trends in information flow, and have a finely tuned bs meter. The biggest barrier to entry is that no one is trustworthy, so even your tools need to be properly vetted or self-made because unlike the 90s internet, the thrill of finding a vulnerability may carry a substantial reward.

I do think there is a legitimate opportunity in the crypto space and 'believe' in the underlying tech. You just have to ignore all the folks building their rockets out of lead and toilet paper while rofling about their moonshot, sneak past the whales, and slip between the trading bots.

One other interesting aspect I don't hear mentioned often is how this comes on the heels of the Russian election meddling and the similarities in tactics. If crypto has any real immediate use for the average person, it's a good way to gauge how susceptible you are to propaganda. Invest (enough to sting if you lose it all) and see if you can turn a profit. Force yourself to put part of that money into an obvious scamcoin and keep track of how you relate to discussions surrounding it. Crypto can be a psychological playground if you let it.
if you understand the Math and agree that whatever you do needs to go through a proper peer review then why not. Saying "nobody may research the subject because you'll fail" is bad science. If you work in this space, know your Math, and don't rely on your invention to be put into production this year then why not study the problem space and innovate by following the established best practices!?

Problems arise when someone thinks they should now turn this invention into a money-cow or label it "proprietary magic" (under the pretext of protecting IP/copyright).

The book and article differ on the 30% / 40% point, and Smil is IMO not entirely clear here (or I'm up too late reading this).

The general upshot is that silicon is very energy-intensive stuff -- to manufacture, and to operate. Several authors (including Smil) have noted that the highest energy use densities, in terms of watts per unit-mass of equipment, are seen in information systems. There's a reason for all those massive cooling systems at datacentres.

(And yes, I've just shifted the discussion from embodied energy to operating energy, in the interest of the general point of energy consumption of information systems, not trying to confuse the two points, though that has been done several times already in various parts of this thread, including your own response above.)

That density still doesn't necessarily imply greater total energy use, though it starts getting you that way.

As for transport vs. information: a further point to consider is that there are constraints on moving people around in a physical environment, imposed by mass, air, rolling resistance, and braking (or regen) losses. We're relatively close -- definitely within an order of magnitude, and possibly a power or so of two, to those limits. For information, the theoretical efficiencies are high (Feynman did work on this IIRC), but our technology is nowhere near that bound, and we seem quite good at throwing additional tasks and requirements on our computing systems as efficiency improves. (This is also true of transport -- both are subject to the Jevons paradox.)

This also gets us to a sort of Amdahl's Law problem: as the operational energy of computers falls, the embodied energy costs seem to increase and become a larger portion of the overall expense. Since the operating cost == marginal cost, this also means that market dynamics alone, which function based on marginal costs, are exceedingly unlikely to discourage this trend. It's another zero-marginal-cost dynamic (see Jeremy Rifkin's recent book).

Smil has a great deal of expertise and experience here, his writing is usually pretty clear, and I'm inclined to credit his claims. Though I may need to evaluate this particular one more closely. Though at some time when my neurons are not in isolation cells....
