Yes you are. Look at your messages and mines. You're the troll. You use "?" and upper case a lot. I don't. You always try to change subject instead of agreeing on the problem. It's a lack of integrity.

The earliest example of that general technology would probably be the Leica camera, as this was the first time a negative had been designed for enlargement rather than contact printing (or at least, for high degrees of enlargement). This is only really physically reducing the size of the storage device though, not really compression.

https://gmpphoto.blogspot.com/2018/04/ur-leica-most-influent...

In terms of compression as a whole, the first example would probably be military/commercial codebooks. A relatively modern example would be the q-code, where a predetermined sequence of words are encoded as a 3-letter sequence ("QRA" becomes "What is the name of your vessel/station") but I'm sure there are prior examples.

I'm trying to see if there is one that lets you manage client uploads with a token, i.e. the server gives an "upload token" to the client so an "untrusted client" has permission to upload a file on behalf of the server, but without having to send the file to the server.

Do you know off the top of your head if any CDN provides this?
Ask HN: Do we need permissions to show logos of systems we integrate with?
Our SAAS startup uses public APIs of UPS, FedEx, Amazon, etc. We want to show those logos under our Integrations section. Can we do it without getting a written permission from those companies? We do not claim any affiliation with them etc., just displaying it so potential customers know our system utilizes APIs of those companies.

> The writer Umberto Eco belongs to that small class of scholars who are encyclopedic, insightful, and nondull. He is the owner of a large personal library (containing thirty thousand books), and separates visitors into two categories: those who react with “Wow! Signore professore dottore Eco, what a library you have! How many of these books have you read?” and the others — a very small minority — who get the point that a private library is not an ego-boosting appendage but a research tool. Read books are far less valuable than unread ones. The library should contain as much of what you do not know as your financial means, mortgage rates, and the currently tight real-estate market allows you to put there. You will accumulate more knowledge and more books as you grow older, and the growing number of unread books on the shelves will look at you menacingly. Indeed, the more you know, the larger the rows of unread books. Let us call this collection of unread books an antilibrary.

I think Ikea is great! It is engineered to last exactly as long as most people want for cheaply made furniture. I think you overestimate the market for second-hand, used furniture in old styles. I can't count the amount of well-made furniture that goes unsold in consignment stores and estate sales. Simply because it is well-made doesn't mean that people desire it.

Yes, that explains the release of the iMac Pro, them announcing that they are releasing a new Mac Pro, and them announcing that they are working on a cross platform framework to bring iOS apps to the Mac.
There's a wonderful lesson in all of this to any current or future business owner: what is the minimum number of people in your organization that would need to secretly be dishonest to undermine what you do? And how much money is on the line encouraging those people to consider it?

In this case, the answer was one, and the amount of money was millions of dollars. Should we be surprised that it happened?
Yes but the welfare spending doesn't go as further as it does in in Australia, NZ, Denmark, Norway, Sweden e.t.c

Mostly because US spends a ridiculous amount of money just moving records and doing busy work with layers and layers of middlemen. The healthcare complex is a good example.

> It's probably safe to say that females are culturally programmed to spend more time on their looks, to be spend more time looking at themselves.

Or naturally programmed.

> Also, of course, to cater to male gaze.

So naturally programmed? Also, women "paint their face" not just for the male gaze but also to establish their place within the female hierarchy. Generally, the prettier and healthier females tend to have higher status within the female hierarchy.

> So, yeah, it's safe to say women are more self-obsessed, and it's safe to say that the pressure to remain that way must be intense.

Just as men are pressured into earning money, being strong and maintaining status. Or is it natural internal pressure rather than societal pressure?

Is it society that's pressuring women or is it that women naturally gravitate towards it? Not sure where you live but in the US, society and media are pressuring women not towards femininity but masculinity. I just saw an army ad and there was a lot of female representation in it when females make up a tiny portion of the army. Even in the army, where you don't wear much makeup, I bet women take more selfies and share them.

Could it be that females in general are just more naturally programmed into sharing and communicating with people?

Not only that, but so much water gets diverted during the night that the tourist ships could not operate.

Reducing water flow helps to preserve the falls too. The water has substantially changed their shape, even over a time period of 2-300 years: https://www.marriottonthefalls.com/blog/2015/02/06/rate-eros...

During the Post-Great Big Blackout period, the Falls power generation ran with night-time levels of diversion during the day-time. The tourist boats that go near the falls got furloughed.

If only we had some reliable number of Mac sales reported by Apple every quarter to know if there has been a “measurable shift”....

Yes. Because there is far more to life than market share and revenue.

Especially at Apple, where the last two people in charge (Cook and Jobs) have both stated in public that they're committed to making better products, and that money is secondary.

I find it bemusing to imagine Mel Brook's movies being released today. Think about Blazing Saddles. It'd be met with nonstop claims about all sorts of isms and ists with coordinated Twitter attacks to try to hurt Brooks or any company that facilitated it or its release. And of course he is not, nor are his films. In a way it's the same thing that's already happened to Mark Twain and The Adventurers of Huckleberry Fin. It's now been banned in numerous US schools under typically facile implications of isms and ists, because of a certain word.

The thing I find most bewildering though is that people seem to no longer actually care about content or context - it's all about the most incredibly superficial approach to everything. It's interesting that both Mel Brooks with Blazing Saddles, and Twain with Huck Fin, made a point of contrasting the superficiality and nonsensical nature of labels against the strength of character of those being labeled. The slave/prisoner in both tales being one of the only decent and honorable peoples in their respective stories.

Just kind of sad to feel like we're regressing so much and calling it progress.

IIUC this use the solar power to filter the water, and then it is cultivated in pots or hydroponic or something. So it doesn't matter if the structure is on non arable land or over water.

Being over water simplifies the pipes, but you must be sure that the device floats, this is not so easy, small ships sunk very often and need a lot of maintenance, specially in salty water.

Also, the dome/jellyfish shape is nice, but the light each plant gets is smaller, in a flat surface each plan gets more light. The plants essentially convert sunlight into food, so more sunlight is better.

And most commercial plantation relay in very cheap (or free) water. Any filtration to use salty or polluted water will increase the cost of production.
Not the farmers who are in producer coops
A few years ago I explored this concept and made a CMS for exactly these kinds of situations, also textbook reading, and in general any kind of endless/near-endless content that benefits from seamless space/time organization and navigation.

Ask HN: How to pursue acquisition?
I run a one-person company in the cloud / ops space and over the past year have gone from $0 to $200k in annual recurring revenue. I have not taken any funding. The major cloud providers (aws, google, azure) are starting to expand to my product space, however, and I'm increasing concerned with my long-term prospects.

I think it might make sense to pursue acquisition/aqui-hire, while my product and expertise can still add value to these cloud providers. I would really appreciate advice from the HN community on how to achieve the best possible outcome, including how to proactively pursue acquisition/aqui-hire at a large company. Thanks!
> “Over time, politicians’ views are shaped by the voters. If you show up to vote, you’ll be part of that process. If you don’t, you won’t, and you shouldn’t then be surprised when none of the people running for office share your views.”

This just simply is not true. If you are ignorant about facts pertaining to issues, then to the extent that your vote influences future policy shifts, it would do so in the wrong direction, or at least add noise to the process that knowledgeable people have to overcome.

An ignorant voter could for example directly and unwittingly vote against their own views if they aren’t informed about the relationship between their preferred outcomes, policies that could potentially achieve those outcomes, and politicians’ likelihood of adopting particular positions, being lobbied by corporate interests, etc. For most politicians and most issues, most everyday people absolutely have zero knowledge about these situations that would imply their preferences deserve to be factored into the decision (from a statistical optimization point of view).

> “If you show up to vote, you’ll be part of that process.”

Yes, but you could be playing a harmful part of that process. Showing up to vote is not unequivocally always helpful. If you vote based on ignorance, even totally separate from meta debates about how to choose the right morals or norms subjectively, you could cause harm. “Being part of the process” could mean you are effectively noise-jamming democracy because your uninformed opinion about the best course of action shouldn’t be listened to.

> “If you don’t, you won’t,”

This is just wrong. You can “play a part” by abstaining from voting. In fact it can be a critical part if you know you are personally uninformed about the technical specifics of an issue or don’t know a candidate’s history of being a corporate shill, or you base your vote on a single issue that turns out not to be very urgent for society, etc.

Not voting when you don’t have special knowledge of the best policy or best candidate can be an incredibly important way to meaningfully participate in government, and may often be much more socially responsible than voting from a position of ignorance.

Despite all this, I still concede that if a person doesn’t care about “using their vote to do good” and chooses instead to care about “having their voice heard” and arguing (however ignorantly) in favor of their preferences, then they could justifiably reach the conclusions you give in your comments.

Just not if their goal is to optimize the chance of the best policy outcome according to their views weighted by their expertise in the topic. In that case, abstaining from the vote can often be the optimal choice, even in terms of trying to get policy reformed in the direction you prefer.
In addition to being extremely contemporary, which contributes to not fitting into future trends, Ikea is made of cheap synthetic materials with the aid of lots of chemicals.

Classical furniture can last longer can fit in a variety of design languages and in the least the component materials can be recycled. For example well made mid century modern furniture can be in heavy demand. Moreover, antique furniture stores offer good furniture, if at times, at unaffordable prices.

That said, maybe Ikeas product is no more environmentally impactful than traditional furniture.

Silicon Valley Is Turning into Its Own Worst Fear
Northfield Mountain is a great plant. The company I work for used to own it before we foolishly sold it off. A pension plan bought it, which is a good indication of how stable it's economic outlook is. It's also an important black-start resource in the northeast.

The difference between Northfield and Lake Mead / Hoover Dam is that dedicated pumped-storage plants have two reservoirs: upper and lower. They are generally able to move water between them as needed with few restrictions because there is no downstream water user who's going to suffer damage because water was released from the upper reservoir (or taken from the lower reservoir).

The Colorado River is pretty much the ultimate opposite case. The existing Hoover Dam operations are dictated entirely by downstream flow requirements. If water has to flow downstream (because it's needed by agricultural users), it flows, and power generation follows. If flow needs to be restricted for flood control, power generation is reduced accordingly. Other than emergency spillways, there's no way for water to flow downstream except through the turbines, so there's no flexibility based on the needs or conditions of the power grid. In power industry terminology this is called a 'must-run' resource.

This article doesn't address that at all, although I imagine that if there is a serious engineering paper proposing this that it would look at the consequences of this in detail. It's extremely questionable to invest this scale of money in an energy storage resource that will likely never attain its full operational potential because the operator would not be allowed to ramp up or down arbitrarily. Batteries are more expensive - right now - but far less risky and can easily be deployed to any location, in precisely the size and scale required, with minimal financial risk or exposure to changing climate patterns.

Maybe I just have a simplistic view of these things, but I don't see how given sufficient data across the economy you couldn't tease out whether people were overspending or truly living at the limit.

After all, just "living paycheck to paycheck" says nothing about your income per-se. You could make several millions/year and struggle to pay your NYC penthouse mortgage and the loan on your Ferrari.

But the image that's invoked when you read that phrase is not someone who's absurdly rich and living beyond his means, but someone who's poor and struggling to make rent on their apartment or paying for their car.

In aggregate, if all those people would make $500 less a month you'd expect a significant spike in foreclosures, evictions, bankruptcies etc. It would look much like the 2007-2009 recession.

Or, if they truly weren't living beyond their means and were all given a $500 lottery ticket how that money gets spent says a lot about their situation.

Does such an injection of cash into the economy e.g. reduce the foreclosure ratio? That would indicate that people weren't truly living beyond their means.

Or does it only show an increase in consumer spending without any meaningful change in such numbers? Then it's more likely that those people were just bad financial planners, or just haven't thought to save any of their income.
Less than 2 years I think you meant typically this is chartered engineers doctors, your mp, company directors and so on.

re: "Adblock Plus plainly acknowledge that those aren't "acceptable ads"

That link goes to Adblock's page, not Adblock Plus.

Their explanation of why they can't block it ("whitelists always override blacklists") is purely technical and is of course something that could be changed in the code - but maybe their contacts with advertisers say otherwise?

I don't see anything particularly wrong with Adblock or Adblock Plus making millions of dollars, but customers who aren't satisfied with this should of course switch to something else.
