Jevons paradox -- as it applies to energy -- is that efficiency gives us more and better ways to make money wasting energy.

I think I just triggered a Vegan :)

I have respect for Vegans despite being a huge meat lover. What I mean by extremism is that Vegans are extreme and controversial form certain philosophies and eating habits and those serious about Veganism more often than not claiming that people who eat meat are murderers and should be treated as such, framing this as "Us the spotless goodies vs them unredeemable baddies". In my books, that's extremism.

But hey, I get your point and I'm more than excited about lab grown burgers so we can have all the meat we want without harming the animals.
I'm wondering if chinese planned cities are designed to be bicycle and pedestrian friendly.
Yup.

I find it helpful to use a scrap of paper as a bookmark and write down the page numbers of excerpts that strike me. Then when I'm done I go back and type the excerpts up into a big Google doc I keep for this purpose along with a paragraph or two of my thoughts on the book.

Usually the quotes trigger the tangential ideas I had while reading and I can synthesize them into something useful.

I'm happy I found this technique. I think it's significantly upped the utility I get from books, since I can go back and remember what hit me about them.
I think it is a free speech issue if "we'll see authorities shutting down blogs and websites using GDPR as their tool" which is what I predict.
In the general case, but in this case isn't unlikely at all: you have a ZFS pool that suffers from this bug, you back it up, the missing files doesn't show up neither in the original or in the backup.

Empirically, these high energy prices seem good: it leads to less energy waste and allow investment in more expensive but cleaner energy sources.

However if energy prices rise too much it can hurt quality of life: e.g. home heating/cooling in Portugal is, at most, spartan.
It's still hard back in PR. They're showing Power generation and usage statistics. They're not showing how many houses/businesses are really up.

While things are better, they're not great.

My mom is leaving her house open and our family further away and people she know that they can show up and load the washer and dryer. My grandpa brought his washer from his house. So that's 2 washers, 1 dryer running almost all day long. She's spending almost $200 more a month in power than she used to.

So Percent of Power Generation or Percent of Power Usage != Percent of People connected.

What Is Blockchain? (Simplest Explanation)
You certainly don't need blockchains and distributed databases to reward creators, centralized solutions like Patreon work perfectly fine. If you want Netflix style monetization, that is not a technical problem but a social one, Netflix relies on the concept of copyright. Any community that does not respect copyright will switch to the free alternative, leaving voluntary donations as the only monetization option.

Maybe there is a blockchain niche where content is offered freely but ad supported, with the experience painless enough not to motivate users to switch to the ad-free alternative. The revenue would then be necessarily modest, but would be redirected to the creators almost in full, compensating the massive Youtube cut.
I'd advise to find a better accountant. What they are suggesting seems out of touch with reality and my personal experience.
Well, right now email doesn't disappear — but under the GDPR anyone can demand that an email server delete any messages he sent (or at least remove his name from them). I think that's a horrible approach, but it appears to be what the GDPR demands.

There has been a lot of misinformation about this unfortunately(which ultimately enabled the current legislation). GP appears to have fallen prey to this as well.

While I'm no Apple fan, I've replaced the charging port on my brother's 4S, and I can tell you that the "non replaceable" claim is overstated. It may not be as easy as a Nokia, but anyone with YouTube and a steady hand should be able to do it.

I use OpenSuse Tumbleweed with BTRFS on a laptop. This is nothing special - a 512GB SSD, no RAID, about 350GB of data and a bunch of snapshots. It was basically the out of the box configuration plus some snapper config to regularly snapshot /home.

One day I shut it down and it wouldn’t boot - the BTRFS filesystem had gotten itself into a state where it would mount ok read-only but hang the system when mounting read/write. My best guess is that I shut it down (meaning a normal shutdown through the GUI) while it was running its weekly rebalance in the background. I’ve since recovered the data and rebuilt the machine, but it’s the first time in a long time that I’ve had a filesystem (any filesystem) fail me.

>I don't understand what you're trying to say here. You mention that adults are buying their children new hardware, but you're also talking about 6-7 year old gaming PCs? Not quite sure what you mean.

You buy a new PC, what happens to old one? It doesn't magically disappear.

>Yeah, but these are gaming PCs. They're terribly impractical for casual use. They're bulky and hot and noisy, with terrible battery life and a large power consumption.

I'm talking about desktops, not laptops. They're not noisy and hot unless you run them at 100%, which you don't do when not gaming. You could also remove GPU and save some power, but I rarely see people doing this.

> You know, I've never seen anyone still using a PC from 2010. Macs from 2010 aren't that uncommon though; I know at least a handful of people who use the non-Retina MacBook Pros from like 2009 every day

This is why i stated 'where I live'. Macs aren't common here (there's a trend for last 3-4 years for MacBooks, but still low market share), and in 2010 they were almost nonexistent.
This is why there aren't much of old ones around.

Everyone had a PC though, and it can be seen that they can handle new versions of Windows as well if not better than macs can handle new OSX.

> Even the MacBook from today is faster, and MacBook Pro, while not "twice as fast", is around 1 1/2 times faster or so.

Yes, but did you see people owning Airs complain about slugishness? For same reason they don't on 2x faster, 7 year old machine.

Also, it's very difficult to like something when you suck at it. I've learned this playing video games and sports. First there's the grind to improve. Once you start getting better and understand the mechanics better, you automatically start having fun. And most often, when people don't like anything, it's often the grind associated they don't like not the thing itself. Take math and literature for example.

I too appreciate nationalist sentiment, but the parent clearly stated: 'personal opinions also appreciated'.

But to be clear: I have a lot of distrust against governments regarding mass surveillance. But I distrust some governments more than others. And Russia is relatively high on that list for me. I think a healthy dose of distrust would be fitting for Russians citizens too.
Ok, slightly edited. For the record, I’m not talking about belief but about religion. It’s a subtle difference, but very relevant in this case.

Rather than editing it further, let me clarify here: To anyone who follows a religion and feels unwelcome: I’m sorry, please don’t feel unwelcome :) I’m just some guy. Don’t mind me. I don’t speak for HN at all. There are lots of nice and respectful people here. I want you to feel welcome! Sorry for using religion as an example to prove a point about Justin Bieber.

>Lastly, a transaction is either voluntary or it is not. There are no degrees of 'voluntary' if you use the word in the conventional sense.

If I rescue you from a burning building contingent upon you signing over 90% of your wealth and future earnings first did we engage in a voluntary transaction?

I think you choose to use a redefined "voluntary" to refer to things that are clearly not (a ploy frequently used by certain corporate funded 'libertarian' think tanks). By doing this, a source of relatively unchecked power and profit is protected.

""The purpose of Newspeak was not only to provide a medium of expression for the world-view and mental habits proper to the devotees of IngSoc, but to make all other modes of thought impossible. Its vocabulary was so constructed as to give exact and often very subtle expression to every meaning that a Party member could properly wish to express, while excluding all other meaning and also the possibility of arriving at them by indirect methods. This was done partly by the invention of new words, but chiefly by eliminating undesirable words and stripping such words as remained of unorthodox meanings, and so far as possible of all secondary meaning whatever."

Emphasis mine.
Darknet supports GPU and thus complex models. It is not intended as a library in my understanding. As last time I checked, tiny-dnn is built on top of "layers", not general computational graph. This greatly limits its functionality. Its implementation is fairly inefficient, too.
Yep. Don't get me wrong, I really want these guys to win, but the current system is just not good enough. I don't know how exactly they'll go around solving that problem though.

Why Django 1.1? Super old school right? I'm actually suprised that Django supported Python3 fully back then... then again I've been super slow to switch to Python3 but I think my earliest Django app (an eCommerce website) was at least 1.3 possibly...

I'm just wondering if other then just habit and 1.1 being what you're familiar with you chose to pick such an old version.
Ok, so what makes you say 200 years? And more importantly, what would make you change your mind about that number (in either direction)?

> [...] if there is a threat that you don't know anything about, there is also nothing you can do about it.

I disagree with this, at least somewhat. For one thing, even without knowing the specific threat, there's lots of stuff you can do which is just generally helpful - e.g., try to spread to other planets. Will it necessarily help? No. But there are a lot of threats it will protect against.

More importantly, people actually working on the problem of AI safety say they are doing things that appear, at least to them, to be useful. What makes you so sure they're wrong? From the little I know of their research, it certainly seems like stuff that will likely be pretty helpful.

Last point - considering just how big a problem AGI could be if they're right, just how many resources would you want to devote to it? Literally zero?
I just meant to add some clarification. I actually do appreciate that you mentioned it. Thank you!

Is that official HN policy? I understand the desire to not make people feel unwelcome, and it is fairly rare that a conversation about technology needs to bring in religion. However, one could argue that challenging beliefs is a part of HN culture as well.

I admit I'm not unbiased in this regard. There's a part of me that respects religion and there's a part of me that feels it's the one of the worst things in the world. There's a part of me that does want to give people a hard time for holding beliefs that I consider to be insane, and there's a part of me that has better things to do with his time and isn't sure he could offer anything practically better than what he would tear down.
I don't agree with your Netflix story. Most people don't prefer free, they prefer convenience.

Spotify almost works properly as a centralized platform because almost all music is on there. But I know a few albums that aren't, and it's too bad.

For Netflix, I have a subscription. But guess what I do when I want to watch the latest Walking Dead or Game of Thrones. I want it convenient, preferably legal, but most of all convenient.
Not all. I am another one who love steemit and create original content for it.
Your recursive resolver is still going off over the internet and querying (root) DNS entries in clear text. My understanding is that this would wrap it in TLS to stop your ISP (or coffee shop) either spying on what sites you're resolving (read visiting) or even man-in-the-middling and re-writing your DNS responses.

Have I missed something or is the only thing protecting the encryption scheme from impersonation of the phone the fact that the web-component's public key is (hopefully) never send to the WhatsApp servers?

The public key of the phone (the first 32 bytes of the variable "secret") is never authenticated by the web-component. Assuming they have the public key of the web-component, the WA Servers could hijack the whole scheme by sending their own public key in the "secret" instead of the phones. MITM doesn't seems possible though as the phone verifies the web-components public key by QR code.

I am no expert so, as I said, maybe I missed something, but relying on keeping a public key secret for security seems icky to me. Or maybe it's stupid to think about that too much, considering that both the phone-application and the servers including the Web API are closed-source anyway and will thus always remain icky security-wise.
