The EU merely requires that the currently largest manufacturers form a council, which decides on which charging standard to use. This council can change it again at any time, but all manufacturers have to use the same standard at each point in time.

If the manufacturers want to switch to a different standard, that’s absolutely fine — just all should use the same.
Ah, glorious freedom
This is exactly the kind of project I could easily sink days and weeks into making; I bet it was fun to write.
You do choose when to turn NFC on, when to unlock your phone, and where to tap it.

Remember it's NFC, not WiFi we're talking about, you need to get your phone within less than half an inch from the tag for it to work.

Ask HN: Your interesting RSS feed
Hi,

I'm fed up with "curated" news feeds from Google and Flipboard:

- they're just supplying what their algorithm think that I want to read (but I prefer to be surprised and chalenged than to read what I already know)

- they "partened" with some big news site with paywall, so

1) their selection is quite mainstream and crappy

2) I can't remove what is not interesting to me

3) 1/3 of content is behind a paywall and it's a PITA to follow a link just to be stopped by a paywall

So... I would like to go the RSS way (like "back in the old days, when the internet was about sharing, not selling" ;-) ) and manager my own selection of news, blogs, etc.

Would you mind sharing your blogs and news site, or RSS directory ? Every subject might be interesting... as long as the writer is ;-)

Thanks for your help
Security screening isn’t perfect. Water bottles are banned now because there’s no process to screen just the content for example. The shoe bomber and the pants bomber both got on board despite active screening at the gates.
by the way, when inputs and outputs are clearly available, it's amazing how easy it to eliminate papers from consideration.

I found a paper that deleted (one at a time) each gene in yeast, to see which ones were "absolutely required". They published the list. For each "novel discovery of a required gene", I was able to show the gene overlapped (yes, genes overlap) with an already known required gene, and so, much of the paper's "novel discovery" section came into doubt.

It's nice because genes have precise coordinates and range intersection is cheap to compute.
I REALLY dont like that this article is a year old (Vox published it like Nov 21, 2017) but it only shows the Updated date, soas to appear new.
No idea about Taiwan but I know Asians in the US (a country where 99.1% of the population are descended from immigrants) who complain about getting the question "but where are you REALLY from" a couple times too often. I think this is a problem in any place with any kind of homogeneity, which Japan has a lot of.
If you look sufficiently Asian (in American sense), then in China you're Chinese until proven otherwise. Inability to speak Mandarin/Cantonese/whatever is no proof you're not Chinese :) If you speak English, they'll look you up and down with contempt(presumably to see if you have any signifiers you're from Europea or something) :D Well, this is just my anecdotal experience as someone from a -stan country visiting China.

Probably, partly why they (along with Koreans) prefer white Europeans with barely sufficient English over Asian (or even black) English majors born and raised in America.
You can. The large older water-locked cities are built this way. They're also coincidentally the cities with public mass transit rail systems. See: NYC, Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago
The best way is to learn the fundamentals first, focus on linear algebra and calculus to have a good understanding of math. It could get a bit tiresome at first, so you could start doing some assembly programming in between to be a bit practical. The 68000 is really easy to get into.

I think the only country where you can truly become not-a-foreigner are the young countries (US, Canada etc) because we simply haven't been around long enough to define our national identity on ancestry. Every other country does define itself on ancestry (some more nationalistic than others).

1) Parent is anti-gun and thinks US Gov is crazy because they would ban drones before banning guns when guns are actually killing people. And you are pro-gun and think it is actually crazy to to ban firearms. Thus you both disagree, and are now mortal enemies.

2) Parent is anti-gun and thinks US Gove is crazy because they would ban drones before banning guns when guns are actually killing people. And you are anti-gun and make your comment in a attempt of sarcastic humor. Thus you both agree, and can now be friends for ever.

3) Parent is pro-gun and thinks the US Gov is crazy because they would ban drones and consider banning guns because people kill people, not drones, or guns. And you are pro-gun and think its actually crazy to ban firearms.Thus you both disagree, and are now mortal enemies.

4) Parent is pro-gun and thinks the US Gov is crazy because they would ban drones and consider banning guns because people kill people, not drones, or guns. And you are pro-gun and make your comment in a attempt of sarcastic humor. Thus you both agree, and can now be friends for ever.

In any case this thread is confusing af. Please fix.
Until the wireless charging works at a distance of at least one meter and is way more powerful, there will be need for cables. Currently there are still quite a lot of uses which require constant charging and not being just placed on a table. Namely debugging apps and gaming.

>we need to seriously approach an engineered solution

We haven't tried the political solution yet. Since limiting carbon emissions is the cheapest and easiest solution to climate change, it would be a good start to have politicans serve the people's interest instead of the fossil fuel ones, don't you think?

not all, but 65% of the voters are blue. I mean, it doesn't get any more blue. Every blue or red state is like that, no state 100% homogeneous. for the purpose of this discussion Illinois is no less blue than any other blue state, so political conservatism has nothing to do with the startup situation.
The holographic principle says that all of the information required to represent a 3-D volume is encoded on the 2-D surface of its boundary i.e. in one sense there is no difference between e.g. a black hole and its surface.

I think you're looking at this the wrong way. There's a place for programming languages like Go. A tool does not have to "full featured" or "hard" to be good. And using "simple" tools does not make someone more dumb.

If you need a swiss army knife, then by all means use one. If you need a drill, Go ;-) with that.

There is beauty in simplicity as well.

The available content has been used in loads of different applications, from text analysis, to linguistics libraries, to spam detection.

There's a lot of valuable information there, but it's not easy to get at it. A public API with text search would accelerate opportunities for new applications to be built on top of the text.

As for myself, I find the Project Gutenberg site to be a bit clunky, so a public API would allow someone to build a wrapper around the metadata and content. In my mind, a Project Gutenberg reader with full text-search and Medium-style paragraph comments would be a great resource.
But the only two ways Google will ever become successful in China is by cooperating or by overthrowing the Chinese government (it's a joke, just in case).

IMO do yourself a favor and visit the link for an example of how not to present information. On my screen (firefox, Linux, 30" monitor), scrolling and page up/down puts text boxes at random places. Most of the time the screen is 90% empty with a small text box that is not even displayed fully.

Technically a drone does not require propellers.

Drone "a remote-controlled pilotless aircraft or missile."

So one might be able to argue that the gun is actually the remote control for a drone ... aka the bullet?
> Don’t men run with prams in the US?

I certainly see a lot more women running with prams than men on the trail near me. The majority of childcare is still overwhelmingly handled by women.

> However, is it really a sign of (concious or unconscious) sexism?

This is exactly the sort of thing you'd expect to see in a sexist culture where women are either deterred from entering certain careers/sectors or forced to leave. If you don't have a lot of women around, you probably won't notice as many things that disproportionately affect women.

Imprisonment doesn't always rehabilitate and is perhaps linked to not properly weighting the reactions of others and long-term consequences that are in response to one's own actions. I wonder what the effects would be of requiring inmates to handwrite or type a 400 word essay (i.e., just over a page, written from scratch, no cut and paste, each inmate has to write their own) every day responding to the stimulus of "What did you do today to improve your life and the lives of those around you?". Any response is sufficient, even if it is off topic or similar to prior responses. I'd be curious to learn if the inmates would begin to more properly weight others' reactions and long term consequences.
Very nice presentation. The analysis is just complete overanalysis with them working backwards from their biased preconcieved conclusion trying to back it up through argument rather than doing actual analysis and dissecting the subject matter. But the presentation is nice. Great visualizations and effective at arguing their hypothesis even though they don’t actual do any critical evaluation of it.

I’d propose she repeat the show but leave out the physical comedy that goes along with the specific point they are obsessed with and if their hypothesis holds the laughs will be just as big, since they postulate that it’s the structure of the preceding jokes tying in it that causes the laughs and not the joke itself.
> Additionally, if you are not around, and a family member or co-worker can't get to a site then they have no way to bypass it unless they also know how Pi-Hole works.

I ran into that issue with some household members, that had problems with certain websites that didn't work. Since I run my own DHCP server (not through pi-hole), what I ended up doing is giving them a different (e.g. 1.1.1.1) DNS resolver for their machine (based on their MAC address), and then installing uBlock Origin for them. That way, they can easily turn ad blocking on/off themselves, while I can still have network-wide adblocking on by default (especially useful for mobile devices).

A valid argument if USB cables were durable in the hands of the typical ham-fisted end user... AND if the EU forced all phone makers to stop bundling USB cables and chargers with every phone.

I mean this is pure hypocrisy; the EU couldn't even standardise wall sockets. What next, are they going to force all mains devices to use the IEC C14 socket? Perhaps they should levy a steep tax on all aftermarket USB cables?

I don’t understand your math. Typically, for one paper, if you’re trying to reproduce the experiment (rather than just the analysis) the cost is closer to 110% because, for many researchers, their papers build off of their previous papers so they already have expertise with a particular assay, protocol, technology, etc.

My understanding is that the majority of Methane molecules end up as CO2 anyway (Methane -> CH3 radical -> Formaldehyde -> CO2):

So the underlying CO2 ~100 Yr+ effect is still there, but you also get a 500x benefit from Methane while it is persistent in the environment.

Not quite: this map [1] illustrates that there are large swaths of eastern Queens, southeastern Brooklyn, the Bronx and even parts of Manhattan that are more than a 10 minute walk from the subway. Since blocks between avenues are 1/3 of a mile long (and 1/20 of a mile between numbered streets), at 10th Av and 23rd St, you're about a 10 minute walk from both the 23rd ACE and 34th 7 stations (assuming you can walk a mile in 20 minutes).

What a lot of people don't realize is that the subway is not all that convenient to where large parts of the population in the city lives and a lot of people take busses (or a combination of a bus & a train) to get where they need to go.

Edit: a version of the map I posted is in the article.

If you want a healthy viewpoint that fully internalizes the incentives and actions of the people of the world, I have one to offer.

Most people just want to be comfortable. This is fine. We do not care much about the death of other animals, as evidenced by continuously choosing not to become vegetarians. Even if a large number of species collapse because of warming, human agriculture will go on easily and the resilient species will continue to inhabit landscapes all over the world. If anyone starves to death, it will only be to the extent that they already do, which is almost exclusively because of coordination problems, not for a worldwide lack of food. Humans are resilient and easily solve problems when they are urgent. If we lose a degree of technological or economical development while fighting this problem, consider that these are not factors that truly make people happy. Quality time with good friends and family is what counts. We are sufficiently advanced that detrimental lifestyle changes incurred while solving problems related to climate change will be small in comparison to the great health and lifestyle improvements we have made so far.

The poorest people around the world have seen their incomes rise rapidly in recent years (i.e. the "Elephant Curve"). Climate change will have relatively little impact in comparison to humanity continuously bootstrapping itself into higher levels of wealth through markets, government, and collaboration.

Compare the level of action you have personally taken to fight global warming to the level of action you feel (and advocate) people should be taking. Talk is cheap. Actions reveal preferences. In a broad perspective, given today's frontier of possible technology and lifestyles, people would rather live a first-world middle class lifestyle, accepting the additional risk of climate change caused by this lifestyle. Fighting this preference is not without cost, and humanity has chosen that a different fight can occur later, solving individual symptomatic problems when these problems have urgency.
Microsoft tried the "let's not pay" strategy once and failed. And Windows was arguably more strategic than iPhone.

EU is a huge market for Apple they can't just ignore it. If they are compelled to comply then they could make a EU version of the iPhone with USB-C connector. It would require a bit of re-engineering and re-tooling, but nothing Apple couldn't handle. However I suppose that if this ever happens there will be a lot of grey market export.

Personally with USB-C I don't really mind one way or another.

you won't know if it works until you try, has there been any experimental applications of the nordic model in the US that show it to be uneffective? there has been at least one in canada that I'm aware of,(admittedly only targeting youth offenders, so not conclusive, but at least an indication I guess) and the results were pretty good:
https://theconversation.com/judges-sentence-youth-offenders-...

edit to add, I'm not sure you can call the Canadian trail a copy of "the nordic system" but it is similar to it in that it focuses on rehab rather than punishment. I like to think you could adapt from "the nordic system" to make it work in the us.
