Most nations still have peak demand infrastructure setup for daytime industrial power demand, most of which already requires high capacity delivery. That demand hugely drops off in the evenings as factories shut down for the day and workers return home.

Most new EV power demand happens in the evenings, "filling in the bathtub" (because the average demand graph looks like a bathtub) that the industrial demand curve leaves behind. The difference between industrial (daytime/peak) and consumer (evening/off-peak) demands is a big enough bathtub that estimates are that it would be a while before EV cars get even close to filling in the bathtub.

One estimate I saw was that if every car on the road switched to an EV car tomorrow and charged only at off-peak times, it would almost fill the bathtub, and thus require no actual generation increase.

That doesn't deal with the infrastructure chicken-and-egg issues of street-level and parking structure access to car charging, of course.
Are ebooks dying or thriving? The answer is yes
China banned foreign trash imports recently. That whole merry go round is coming to an end.
There's nothing secure about traditional payments. I have to give away the keys to my account (routing & checking number) in order to transact with my checking account. Similarly, I have to hand over all my information to a 3rd party to process a credit card transaction. The fraud and theft is merely subsidized by the banking institutions themselves, who more than make up for the costs in high interest fees.

There's also nothing fast about traditional payments. The actual transferring of money between banks and accounts still takes 24-72 hours, if not longer in some cases.

It's also not cheap. The hidden costs are rolled into the banking system, credit card interest and merchant processing fees (which are rolled into the price of products).
Not only would he not have "had a problem" if he'd proceeded as you describe he also wouldn't have had a lucrative counterfeiting business, which was in fact the point.

I've seen this same thing done for cases where I was closer to the facts. The government's lawyers don't care about your sob story. So when you assert in court

"I needed to feed sixteen orphans so the Magnifiton bowl was exactly what I needed. I know now that it wasn't right to take it, but I felt at the time it was the only way."

... they don't bother telling the court there weren't actually any orphans and the bowl isn't really suitable for serving food. The charge was burglary - breaking into the museum and stealing this valuable bowl, which they've already proved you did, why should they care about your ludicrous sob story?

But out of court your lawyers can portray this case as an outrage - you were only trying to help starving orphans, how heartless is this government for punishing you in this way?

When Lundgren is confronted about the evidence that he's simply a counterfeiter we're once again on familiar turf. He's been framed, the emails are fake, everything is being distorted to make him look like the bad guy when he's actually innocent. Blah blah blah.
One more reason to stop using html emails people...
Your desire for "a TOFU model with automatic key redistribution" is well-founded, and people (including implementers) are trying to do something about this. Check out the Autocrypt project:

https://autocrypt.org/

A similar (and complementary) approach is outlined in RFC-7929:

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7929

which is supported by GPG and a few email providers.
The threat is to anybody who those in power label the out-group. For too many people, risking lives of the the "good guys" is the only cost weighed for violence.
In this Philosophia Non Existentiae you also have to make a distinction between "not born (yet)" and "not born (ever)".
Ask HN: What should we call phones as they stop being used as phones?
Cell/mobile phones are being used less and less as phones, and more as portable mini always-connected computers. There have been dozens of names thrown around in sci fi and similar, from Pads to Tabs and Decks to Slates.

What's you're favourite/preferred idea for a new for these devices that have taken over our lives?

No goals or motives. Just a thought I had as I realised I barely make/receive more than a few calls a week these days.
Q uses 8chan? Wow. Didn't realize that. 8chan is full of basically straight up white nationalist fascism, or that's what I thought. I recall it making 4chan look tame.
100% correct, but bitcoin isn't centralized because of PoW, more because of a bad implementation of PoW that was too soon and too easily optimized (if you had the cash). Existing algos will all be eaten in the same way SHA256 was, but why does that mean PoW as a concept is a failure?
"Even the failures will get highlighted"
It seems that SPECIALLY the failures are being highlighted. I fail to understand how covering a celebrity CEO twitting about opening a candy shop and writing a negative piece about a car rear ending a truck would have the same goal as you seem to suggest.
Perhaps if the Hilux had been invented in WW1 it would have been a prime candidate for military application. But these days the military has Humvees and tanks and so on. A Hilux is no match for cutting edge equipment else the US Army would not have developed more capable analogs.
Why do you need to track users for a subscription?
I think you'll find nobody under the age of about 25 cares about the mainstream media, so it doesn't need to be replaced by anything. We just wait until everyone older dies, and the media will too.
"After the public cleared out and the rest of us were gathered in front of the stage, I started urgently going on about how web apps are terrible, and wouldn’t show the true potential of the device. We could do so much more with real native access!"

Where was Carmack when everyone was forcing us to listen to "web apps are the future of mobile"?

He could have ended that HN debated instantly.
Forgive me but isn't GPGME the high level library that programs probably want to use rather than dealing with gpg's protocol themselves?
Yes, so we are shipping our garbage to other countries now.
If not docker then what? I heard about kubernetes but it show less polished.

My use case: I wish to deploy easier Postgres and python/.net core apps. That is.
I'm assuming what they're doing here (they don't really say) is using a flywheel in the equipment in the charging station to charge a "regular" electric car -- a car that stores the electricity in batteries. And the flywheel is used because the environments they want to deploy these charging stations have lower quality electric grids, "where upgrading the grid for fast electric vehicle charging can be prohibitively expensive".

They even say they can "...charge a battery in ten minutes..." This sounds great! But I'm not sure what cars they'd be charging. Can, for example, you charge a Tesla that fast? I assume not, or Tesla would be charging them that quickly. (https://www.tesla.com/supercharger says it takes 30 minutes)

So I'm assuming that they're charging cars with smaller batteries. It sounds interesting, but not as good as my initial reading ("you can charge your car way faster") made me think.
The article also suggests that better hygiene and protective measures against infection played a role. Infectious disease was a huge case of death in medieval Europe (the plague for ex). The Knights had better hygiene as they learned from Arab doctors, who had superior medical knowledge compared to their European peers
You have your causal chain reversed: enormous amounts of electricity are spent on proof-of-work because it is profitable. There is no minimum amount of work required to "sustain" the system. Of course you lose security with less work performed, but the system can be sustained.
I've never been to a grocery store that didn't have some kind of bags, and to be honest I've never bought enough things at once from a retail store to warrant a bag, but I can see how that could be a problem in certain situations
People downvoting above - have you not had a boss tell you "that would be great if we could implement like that, but do it this way instead because it's more profitable" ?

I've got journalist friends with stories to tell but are stuck because they've got a quota of 10 more trump stories and 5 more musk stories to write first.
Tell that to the guy balancing the military pension and medical compensation books.
There we are, tracking users again, the very system the parent wanted to get away from.
That law would have more teeth in Texas, then.

you're right, i spoke too broadly. systems utilizing RFID can be designed to enable tracking, but RFID implants themselves are not inherently privacy-averse.

if i set up a system at home, my implant would be useless in the context of any other system. i am not at risk of being tracked by unknown parties simply by virtue of having an implanted RFID chip.
This sets off my BS detectors. He cites only papers written by himself. He writes in the style that I associate with crackpots, yelling at you with bolding rather than convincing you with logic.

Yeah, I haven't gone through it nail down the flaws. There's some possibility he's right. It's a small enough probability that I'm not going to take the time to go through the paper in detail, though.

And if he's right, there ought to be an experiment to show that special relativity fails to describe reality. He doesn't even propose one, let alone give results from one.
Also for anyone interested, you are dealing with partial pressures of oxygen (PO2) with Nitrox. With 36% Nitrox mix (36% O2, 64% N, EAN36)you shouldn't be going below 28 m, since you don't want to exceed a PO2 of 1.4. (36% * 4 ATA = 144% or 1.44 PO2). Oxygen toxicity comes on without warning in most cases, and you convulse and typically drown. You want to stay between 0.16 and 1.6 (max!, hence the 1.4 PO2 guideline). There are some subtleties you can find out by researching Nitrox diving, or taking the course and certifying for Nitrox diving.
Happy to see alternative language features reducing the need for inline assembly, not just with the 128-bit integer support in 1.26 but also with the stable SIMD support coming in 1.27 (so crates like https://users.rust-lang.org/t/jetscii-now-works-with-future-... can at last work on stable). Sadly the current implementation of inline assembly is so inextricably tied to LLVM that there's resistance to stabilizing it in its current form, though in this case I think the perfect is being allowed to be the enemy of the good^W good-enough^W janky-but-acceptable.
I think he is being downvoted for his definition of journalism in a capitalist society and not for having an opinion.

The standard is PGP. OpenPGP is an implementation.
I can really recommend Matt Pharr’s “Physically based rendering” if you like to get lost in this kind of thing for a few hours.
I enjoy rereading http://www-formal.stanford.edu/jmc/robotandbaby/robotandbaby... from time to time, I still wonder how plausible it will be that we'll end up with laws that require robots to be somewhat menacing-looking to avoid people (especially children) getting too attached to them. (In the story, household robots have "the shape of a giant metallic spider with 8 limbs: 4 with joints and 4 tentacular. ... They spoke as little as was consistent with their functions and in a slightly repellent metallic voice not associated with either sex. ... Also robots were made somewhat fragile on the outside; if you kicked one, some parts would fall off. This sometimes relieved some people's feelings.")

Some of us will always want these robots to look even more horrifying though. \m/ And for myself I've always found each of the BD robots somewhat cute and always sympathetic whenever hockey stick man bullies them.
I think it's a reading comprehension problem.

The average lifespan for all people was 31.

The average lifespan for a subset of those people who lived to age 20 was 48.

The reason for the distinction is infant mortality and other childhood diseases which lingered much longer than they do today because we now have more treatments.

The issue is apparently that pgp outputs the plain text to a pipe before checking the MAC in the message. Instead, they provide an error code when the MAC doesn't fail.
Apparently a lot of implementations don't check for this error. In general, this leads to message malleability. Malleability is always bad. It just so happens that in this example, they used malleability to sneak in <img> tags.

So the issue here is that PGP outputs plain text even when the message fails the MAC check.
But they could fetch metadata from our phone and generate data on their side.

Like photos we saved from internet, or search history, google drive backups, watched videos, liked photos, location maps. Even though you have 1.5gb/month plan, you are creating enough meta data that google can use for profiling.

They legit even store how you download a picture, via sharing, saving or dragging on desktop.
Oh no! I love jQuery! I miss it that's the point.

At work I use react and can't use jQuery anymore and I miss it man.
I guess I meant immediate job stability. If you reject surveillance at your current job you will have probably have to look for another. This is pretty scary for a lot of people.
Seq2Seq Model for Chatbot Using Keras
Pay-per-item is a wonderful business model! It works spectacularly for movies and books and similar.

However, one possible wrinkle springs to mind. That is, all the sectors what per-item media payment works well for are long-form. There's an active review and feedback ecosystem around them, allowing consumers to judge quality before paying. This performs the critical function of enabling consumers to de-risk their purchases.

Once again, I'm completely sure this is just a personal failing, but I'm struggling to find a way to construct such a system around newspapers. Reviews only work well when the desire form immediate access is low and the time-cost of the review is a small percentage of that of the content being commented upon. Newspaper articles would seem to fail both tests!

Please, help me with my failure of imagination and comprehension.
Yeah of course but if you want Bitcoin to be used by everybody (that's the goal of a currency after all), it becomes thus very profitable to mine and therefore an enormous amount of electricity is used. That's what I meant by a scaling issue, it works as long as there's not too many users.
Also Telerik/Progress' KendoUI DataViz controls.
My point was that this is crazy high tech that I am surprised isn't limited to the military. I am wondering if this is consumer grade, what does the military have.

That said, more tech for the military means more investment into the idea that killing each other is a splendid idea. To me that seems counter to what technology is ideally about. I am an idealist though, so dismiss that comment as you wish.
The interaction between demand and prices is an important part of the intrinsic signaling mechanism that a free market provides.

If there are two alternate (competing) goods, and one is cheaper but the other is "Produced Ethically in Accordance with X Standards", then each person chooses whether that certification - and the qualitative difference it signifies - matters to them enough to pay the difference in price between that product and its cheaper competitor.

Or, to use another example elsewhere in this thread: if someone is in the market for a car, and one of the cars that meets their criteria is the Pinto, then it is up to them to decide whether the reduction-of-risk of fuel combustion justifies buying a more expensive vehicle that isn't a Pinto.

In either case, the macro-level effect will be that some portion of customers will buy the inferior product, and some will buy the superior product, and if there is sufficient disparity in the quantity-demanded, then the suppliers have greater incentive to produce the product with the higher quantity-demanded (but any quantitative mismatch between supply and demand will cause temporary fluctuations which will quickly self-correct, preserving the equilibrium in the long run). Ergo, if a good is superior in some way such that that superiority is "important", then that good will outsell any competition that lacks that quality.
It seems to me that approximately everyone on the planet sees mass media with people wearing ordinary glasses and will want to wear those instead of bulky silicone-filled lenses, even if it costs more. We're already willing to pay hundreds of dollars on name-brand frames- it's not because you can't find cheaper ones.
I love jQuery and I don't believe it has outlived anything.

Thank you for the thoughtful reply. You're completely right about life being fundamentally better for the invisible/oppressed. I take your point -- it was always broken for them.
Thanks, will give that a look when I next find some exploration time :)

Uh, that's mostly not what judges spend their professional careers doing or what lawyers spend their academic careers doing.

It's what academic political scientists focussing on judicial and regulatory politics do, but that's not a background that tends to get you nominated for the Supreme Court.
The absolute madmen!
It absolutely is "somebody's business", when the state is either running it, or enabling it with heavy legislation.

Banning gambling outright is an obvious way to make gambling black market. But we can take commission reports like this ( https://govinfo.library.unt.edu/ngisc/reports/7.pdf ) and determine best practices how to minimise gambling's impact.

1. Commission recommends that states, tribal governments, and pari-mutuel facilities ban credit card cash advance machines and other devices activated by debit or credit cards from the immediate area where gambling takes place.

2. (State, local, tribal) they should recognize that, especially in economically depressed communities, casino gambling has demonstrated the ability to generate economic development through the creation of quality jobs.

3. (States, localities, tribal) should recognize that lotteries, Internet gambling, and non-casino electronic gambling devices do not create a concentration of good quality jobs and do not generate significant economic development. (Think of this as video slots in corners at gas stations)

Some great anecdotes in there.

As an aside, surely a person of Carmack's stature and knowledge would have a dedicated blog. I have to wonder if his decision to post so many of these wonderful stories on Facebook might be due to some "pressure" from his employer.
They didn't say the GPS was in the implant.

The phone app reads the RFID to ensure that the person is at the same location as the phone.

Google is rebranding storage plans as “Google One”
What’s really baffling about all things rendering is when you realize that almost anything you can think of and optimize to render in 10ms with a ton of sweat, was already done in 1ms in a game engine. Ten years ago.
Everyone who wants plastic can just drive to Manor, TX and do shopping there though. Possession of the bags isn't actually outlawed, the stores just can't give them to you in city limits.
