my phone battery dies really fast if I use Strava, and I have to bring an additional battery.

The Elemnt also comes with a bike mount so I can just take a quick glance down for directions instead of having to take my phone out of my pocket. I could just get a cell phone mount, but I haven't gotten that far yet.

Also, a dynamo could work - but that would add additional friction and make it harder to cycle.

Utilization rates are 50-58% for Uber or Lyft. When you take it into account that a taxi is not en route 100% of the time, and add the cost (interest, depreciation) of a much more expensive vehicle, I think your 65% savings go up in smoke.

It represents an anchor to their adopted community. This is good for integration. Remove it, and the immigrant can decide to go back for whatever reason.

Birthright citizenship is one of the defining reasons for America's continued economic and cultural dominance. The American dream as we know it does not exist without it.
It wouldn't have characterized it as bullying. They were defending their IP which they had spent a lot of time and effort developing... though a lot of the concepts they themselves had taken from Xerox PARC.

In retrospect, there was a ridiculously long gap between a GUI standard on the PC platform vs the rival platforms at the time. Part of that was the slow transition to 32-bit.
Author here. It’s definitely true that extending existing browsers is the fastest route to this kind of behaviour (though it’s not clear to me if it’s the best route). In fact, if you squint a bit (or maybe a lot), it could be argued that with application-specific URL schemes we kind-of sort-of already have the primitives we need to make something like this work.

Practically, though, if you want the multi-program side of this (which is kind of orthogonal to the 'multiple perspectives on how things are connected' side), then to make this kind of multi-window hypermedia system usable I think you need to have deep integration with the window manager. While Chrome OS tries to achieve this kind of integration by making the browser the OS, I propose that the best way forward here is to effectively make the OS the browser, as I discuss in the article. (Of course I’m not talking about the kernel when I say ‘OS’ here, but the desktop environment). At that point, I’d say the browser is different enough to the browsers of today that the description of ‘freeing the Web from the browser’ is still accurate.
PJON is a very interesting project and I've used it in the past between a RPi and an Arduino to communicate.

Atm I'm developing my own bus protocol since PJON was having some problems with the optocouplers I have (the line I need has almost a millisecond of lag and doesn't allow for a frequency beyond a couple kilohertz as it needs to get to several devices at different logic levels and has some longer lines with higher voltages that limit response times). Surprisingly there isn't a good bus protocol that can deal with symbolrates below 1000 per second, multi master and really bad line conditions and long timeouts.
Great idea of a feature to be added. But I am not sure flight data are easy to get.

A store manager (in Norway) once told me that they had a policy to never kick people out, regardless of being paying guests or not. He said this was a policy coming from top down and that they never refused anyone to use the toilet, WiFi or power outlets.

But they never spoke publicly about it, since they didn't want too much press about it. But knowing this put the chain in a different light for me. Seeing people just sitting around reminds me of it. It's a good reminder me that corporations aren't just good or bad.

Regulations are written by large corporations to protect themselves.

It’s the reason why the SEC never caught Maddoff (who ran the SEC!!!), or literally ANY of the 2007/08 bad actors. Or why the EPA sat quiet on the 3M situation other than small slap on the wrist fines.

The only way around the corruption in the system is the open flow of information, which has only just been picking up steam. The amateur and crowd sourced expert/investigator is our best hope to find the truth in these situations.
I put my SSH keys inside KeepassXC (regular Keepass supports this via plugin). Way better encryption and it automatically manages the adding of keys to the ssh-agent.

All my other SSH keys I don't have in there are plaintext on the disk. The ssh askpass is in userspace and easily spoofed, any local attacker could easily fish it out anyway. Full disk encryption at rest ought to be enough for most people.
Thanks for the great feedback. I will try to find a solution
I’ve wondered recently if speed and intelligence have anything to do with each other at all. It does in IQ tests but Darwin by his account would have been average at best.

Further, the argument goes that there exists a g factor, and performance in a test that is sufficiently complex will be predictive of performance at anything else sufficiently complex ... Yet if we allow time to vary this seems to be so obviously false...
Ask HN: How do you all deal with lack of motivation?
I remember being an extremely motivated and driven individual until 1-2 years ago. Then came a string of personal issues that turned my world upside down(including my realization that my father was a terrible abuser). Now that things are settled, I have a very strong urge to get up and chase my dreams again , however, I find this invisible force just not letting me do anything. I do not feel motivated at all.I wonder if anyone here has been in a similar state and how did he/she got out of it?

Statistics is not everything. Which hypothesis can lead to the outcome "AIs will not be able to beat humans in every game"?

I can see following hypotheses (in no particular order):

1. Human brain is the optimal solution in the space of all computational devices capable of playing games, and we can only approach it.

2. To do computation human brain employs some physical processes, we will not be able to replicate in the foreseeable future.

3. Human brain do not produce general intelligence, so we will not be able to replicate it as such a task is outside of the scope of our limited intelligence (while playing games isn't).

4. Human brain uses metaphysical abilities to do cognition, we will not be to replicate them at all.

5. Human brain is a local optimum, but the space of potential AIs' constructions is too huge to explore in the lifetime of our civilization, so we will be stuck at this local optimum with marginal improvements.

I don't see any of them as sufficiently likely, but your mileage may vary.
All depends on what would happen to the laid off persons.

If this were a country with good social support and they would get some sort of severance, it would be fair.

If they would not be compensated for the caused harm, it would be unethical, since one's action would be a key contributor to that harm.
Thanks for this thoughtful response. I definitely feel like you get my struggle.

I do understand the impact of Reagan-era economic policies and don’t accept that America would be capable of thriving despite a lot of immigration.

But, I guess I don’t understand why this convo isn’t articulated. Supply-and-demand of the labor market is super simple and it seems pretty obvious that immigration would end up being a scapegoat. I just realized I don’t have anything to say that because, despite understanding numerous economic causes for the lower wages, I can only reason that immigration adds fuel to the fire.

But for some reason people on the left seem to act like this contention doesn’t exist. They just talk about how terrible the border and ICE is; both of which have been awful for many years. It’s nice that people care all of a sudden but name-calling doesn’t address these rational claims of the opposition. If you’re right and that’s the way it is, I wonder how we can actually solve this.

It sounds like if we can just actually take the economics seriously for once then it would eliminate any decent ground to defend the immigration enforcements. I mean, we have to do it some day. It seems to undermine everything we stand for.
>The campaign against Jeong is some bs about old tweets where she mimicked the racism she gets back, recast as racism against white people.

Having read all of Sarah Jeong’s tweets as they pertain to this controversy, I find it hard to believe that many were intended as satire. She has a clear pattern of unprompted tweets that make sweeping negative generalizations about white people, particularly old white men. I’m white, and I don’t like being singled out and put down on the basis of my skin color. It is alienating, it is dehumanizing, and it provokes an immediate instinctual (and generally unproductive) defensive emotional reaction.

I don’t buy the excuse of, “they started it.” Sarah’s obviously faced tons of online harassment, but since when have two wrongs ever made a right? The Golden Rule doesn’t say, “Treat others as you would like to be treated, except white people.” I would expect better from someone in Sarah’s position.

Having said that, a few racially-bigoted tweets don’t justify a 4chan harassment campaign. I also understand how it becomes difficult to discuss such an issue when an online hate mob is so clearly invested in one side of it.

> Here in Sweden a researcher did such study and unsurprisingly the result showed that for the time frame of 20 years the state economics from immigration is a net negative.

I would be very interested to read this study. Can you please provide a source?

What kind of immigration does the study account for? Is it refugee based or diversity based immigration which, naturally, could be a burden on the country because these most likely are not medium-high skilled immigrants. However, the article here is talking about the H1-B program which is only for employment based high-skilled applicants (granted some of these could be medium-skilled but these applicants are definitely not low-skilled) and contribute to the economy by paying taxes and contributing to the local economy by spending.

> the article here only cite a study that correlate economic growth for companies that hire skilled immigrants.

If there is an economic growth for the local companies, this certainly might correlate with the economic growth for the economy of the country. But I do agree with you that there should be a more focused study for this.

> I mean if anyone can create an instance, then extremists from all the political spectrum will be able to moderate their own instances, in other words they will censor those who think differently and encourage their own views creating a loop that could potentially create more myopic-extremist views, or is there something I’m missing?

Does this even matter? I mean, if you really wanted to stop people with weird views from grouping and then getting extremist through evaporative cooling[0], you'd have to roll the world back to preindustrial times (and even then you wouldn't stop it completely). Mastodon is but one platform; fringe groups will happily keep relocating when their old meeting places want them no longer, or they'll even set up their own platforms. Now that physical proximity is no longer a limiting factor, people of like beliefs will always find each other (if they bother to look).

(I think a good analogy is this: a Mastodon community is in the same relation to the Internet as Facebook Groups are to Facebook, or subreddits are to Reddit - a federated system inside a larger whole. The way fringe groups use subreddits/Facebook groups is analogous to how they will use Mastodon.)

If you're worried about extremists getting endangering public safety, I feel it's the job of the police to infiltrate such groups and stop individuals as they cross from talking to doing. If you're worried about large chunk of population catching some insane beliefs; I offer no remedy for that.

> However, if I'm ever in a position where Vice would want to interview me I'd probably turn them down after reading this purely out of caution.

Motherboard and Vice as a whole have in the past published stories that I'm directly or tangentially involved in and gotten the facts completely backwards on multiple occasions. Always in a way that tells a more sensational story.

I wouldn't be involved with that publication -- full stop.

They've even doubled down on the Sugar Weasel story 5 years later, after it being pointed out to them repeatedly that it was factually incorrect.

> Poker

This is a misnomer.

The only variant of Poker where AI beats humans is heads-up (two-player) variant, which is simplest form of poker and also rarely played. The AI was (marginally) beating humans there by playing a game-theory-optimal strategy. For poker games with 3+ players,
the GTO strategy (Nash equilibrium) no longer exists, so AIs need to use more standard techniques (search-based, reinforcement learning etc.), which are, at the current state of the art, laughably weak at poker.

Not to mention, that in poker the actual hierarchy of players' skill is not 100% obvious. You could distinguish at least two areas of skills:

- play vs other experts

- play vs amateurs/weaker players. Here' the goal is not to come out ahead (which, in long term, is a given), but to _maximize_ the dollar amount taken from these players, which is a skill in itself.

Is it not possible to zoom? It becomes un-viewable when I do?
It sort of exists, if you can manage with some small screen (there is no 22 inch screens like that).

Here is a 13.3 inch e-reader which you can also setup as a secondary screen (HDMI input), and connect to any computer as an extra screen:

So you are getting both a fully-fledged e-reader and an extra screen.
This actually answered a question I had wondered about - in the North West of Scotland there are mountains made of a distinct sandstone - Torridonian (named after the sea loch). I remember reading that the material that created this sandstone came from the erosion of mountains to the North West (where the Atlantic is now).

I looked up Scotland and 750 million years ago and there is a range of mountains to the North West. :-)

Incidentally, one of the cool things about the North West of Scotland is that the original landscape that was buried by the sandstone has been exposed in places.

Edit: I also seen to remember reading that the Brownstone buildings of New York are actually made from the same stone deposited on areas that ended up on the other side of the Atlantic when it split.

Is it not like an email server then? What happens when they decide shut down their mastodon server without warning?
Centralization is comfortable and in the end run, cheaper. I'd rather pay github (or depending on how much Microsoft fucks it up, a competitor in the future) a couple dollars per month than maintain my own git server.

Even for services where I have to run my own server, I rent a VPS at some hosting facility rather than maintaining my own hardware or even renting bare metal. It simply doesn't make sense to run my own.

And if I bothered to have a web presence, again, I'd host it somewhere. It simply doesn't make sense to maintain your own except as a hobby.

Moreover, all the blockchain stuff looks to me like a solution looking for a problem instead of something generally useful. Yes, it will make sense for decentralized payments if the exchange rates ever stabilize. No, adding blockchain to everything won't help.
It was a bit more nuanced.

These were basically home assignments that we would demo at a lab for a grade. The lab machines had several "resident" programs running on them (some legit, like basic AV, and some installed by lab admins for their own questionable purposes), so the amount of available RAM varied wildly, sometime dipping as low as 300KB. The TAs knew that, but didn't care enough to do anything about it.

So when an assignment that you did on your own machine failed with "oom" at the lab, it was plausible that it was due to all the junk taking up too much space on the lab boxes. The assignments themselves were math-heavy physics modelling tasks, so you they did actually need a lot of memory.

All that said, I think only once someone used this "trick" to get an extension and it was because his truly needed few more hours to hammer its sim into converging.
These McDonald opens 24 hours, so it is not like they are sleeping inside while the store are closed.

Most of these people comes in very late, after 22:00 or even later at 24:00. They watch some video on their phones for an hour or so before sitting there falling to sleep.

Since most of the overnight business are take away, so seats are rarely needed by customers.

In Income / Big Mac price model, McDonald in HK are one of the cheapest if not the cheapest in the world.

However they do kick you out if you smells bad, i.e causing disturbance to other customers.

I wish I could do something to help Hong Kong, but like most people here, we felt pretty much powerless.

That doesn't really address the 'agility didn't help here' point at all. The argument against agility as a design approach is straightforward and widely articulated - it's obviously informed by the SSL/TLS experience but doesn't outright depend on it. It's not too difficult to imagine that there could be some sort of coherent counter-argument. If you have one, though, it's impossible to parse it out from this enthusiastic mixture of non-responsive detail and superciliousness.
They're paying customers, seems like they have as much a right to sit down as anyone else. For that matter, they occupy that seat for a shorter period of time than someone eating would, too.

Most of the 'full' places in America, especially more casual places where there isn't waitstaff that reconfigures seating for every party seems to have a lot of underutilized tables. One person sitting at a table for four is common, and sitting next to that person is seen as awkward. That table is "Taken" - and in a lot of ways, I understand; I'm an introvert, too... and sometimes I'm not really up for conversation with my lunch. But, I find that reading the internet on your phone (and by extension, using an e-reader) are a lot more acceptable than those sorts of things used to be. With those affordances, I think it's easier than it used to be to politely say "I'm not really up for conversation today"
If you think that Jeong's tweets are equivalent to actual racism, you don't understand what racism is and how it affects people.

Racism is not just a matter of politeness. It is not arbitrary rules of decorum that you have to follow. It is not a semantic property of a sentence in isolation. Racism is a systemic problem that threatens people and limits their opportunities.

When Sarah Jeong snarks at Andrew Sullivan for being an old white man, old white men are not actually threatened.

Yes, this means you can switch races in a comment and it will change from racist to not racist, or not racist to racist, and that's because there's context, it's not just arbitrary rules about words.

> It doesn't matter one whit about the instance, except perhaps initially. Maybe. You choose who to read and follow and the instance doesn't matter.

Not in my experience. Mastodon doesn't really have any (good) cross-instance discovery mechanisms aside from just watching the global fire-hose, so your initial experience is formed by the other users on your instance. And the experience varies wildly from "This instance is very quiet" to "This instance is full of furries".
