You're comparing the parent comment to other irrelevant comments elsewhere, in implicit agreement with me.

This article is about a specific ETF. How many people upvoting the parent comment understand that, say, the Winklevoss ETF was set to 0.01 BTC per share, whereas VanEck set each share at 25 BTC (which is something special); let alone the implications of such a difference?

”Australia does not have huge deposits of hydrogen”

Australia has plenty of sunlight, though, much more than they need. In the long term, if/when we live of renewables, they hope to export the energy in it.

The traditional solution is a cable, but Australia is fairly distant from the possible export markets.

That, I think, is where this comes in.
Australia has access to oceans that have the hydrogen, and air contains the necessary nitrogen.

I would think they envision producing ammonia at scale, shipping it in tankers to a densely populated country or a country that has less sunlight, converting it back to electricity in a power station there, and feeding the result into the grid.

Doable? Yes. Economically viable? Who knows. That doesn’t only depend on this process, but also on the question how easily other countries can get their power cheaper.

The misuse of the word “Hacker”
> he was presumed to be a hardened criminal and no attempt

He was presumed to be a petty criminal by police because they're required to do so when someone reports a petty crime. And in this case they were correct in their presumption.

> A few words of respectful human communication on the part of the cops could have saved everybody a lot of grief.

If Aaronson was capable of respectful communication then when the smoothie person got angry at him he would have considered the possibility that the anger was warranted and he had done something wrong. And probably would have pretty quickly realized: "oh wait I'm putting down money on this tray that I just picked up money from... that doesn't make any sense." But instead he immediately jumped to: "there's something wrong with this smoothie shop worker" Everyone would have been saved a ton of grief if Aaronson had any respect for the people around him or any self awareness. But he has neither.

In the USA you can see a difference of life expectancy based on their economically status. So, people is dying earlier and this can be avoided.

So this is the end of all progress? We are good now, lets stop improving health care, education, etc.? Let people die at 70 even when they could have a more healthy live to be 80? Let a cancer patient die because "on average" society is better and his suffering is just statistics?

Your argument is based in the misconception that things can not improve anymore. That people does not deserve better that what they have now.

Is there a coordinated campaign going on against AMP? My experience as a user has been nothing but positive, with pages loading in a small fraction of the time of normal pages, while I read nothing but negativity about AMP in developer communities like this one. Am I missing something fundamentally evil about AMP that's not apparent from the user standpoint? From my limited perspective, it seems to be the only force trying to counteract an increasingly bloated and slow web.

Salary after rent is not necessarily an optimal metric. It works when looking at things like vacations and national products, but when you’re looking at local spend, that rent gets passed through everything that requires local land and labor. Food (especially prepared food) and entertainment tend to be priced in local dollars.

I'm one of the core developers for Nano[1] (formerly called RaiBlocks). It's one of only a handful of cryptocurrencies with an actual working product available today that does everything it claims to do: Instant transactions with zero fees on a green network that could be powered by a single wind turbine.

Despite what I see as it's massive potential for things like micro-transactions, global remittance, arbitrage across exchanges, a development platform for payments and functioning as an actual currency (i.e. a medium of exchange, what you send is exactly what the other person gets) -- the market does not reflect this reality at all right now. There are several projects that are objectively scams with higher market caps than Nano.

To me this reflects that the market is completely irrational right now. I knew as early as January that there was going to be a reckoning, but until some of these coins and tokens that are going nowhere are shaken out projects will just have to stand on their own merits and prove that they're valuable.

HN is utterly incapable of discussing AMP honestly or coherently, so you're hardly going to get many reality-based replies.

AMP is offered as a promise to the user, not the publisher. When I see AMP it guarantees that the site has minimally invasive JavaScript (and the scourge of nonsense that comes with many sites now), will load quickly, etc. The site cannot suddenly bait and switch and start mining bitcoin or spamming pop-overs because it has been technically restricted from doing so.

So yes, sites can be every bit as fast as AMP. And industrial manufacturers can be every bit as clean as required by regulators if they had no regulation. But they aren't, and they don't.

Are you sure you're not mixing up tariffs and subsidies? Subsidies _are_ welfare - the government collects tax revenue and gives it to corporations. Tariffs are taxes imposed on imported goods. EvilEndures's argument (seems to be) that when you impose taxes on imported goods, exporters stop or reduce exportation (which is true, that's the point of tariffs after all) so that buyers are forced to buy through domestic manufacturers. The chain of causation there is pretty fragile, but that's _still_ not comparable to welfare where your money is forcibly redistributed - you were going to buy _x_ anyway, but you end up buying it for possibly a bit more money from a domestic supplier rather than a foreign one. It's not a good idea and it doesn't work to stimulate the economy the way its supporters want it to, but it's still pretty far from "welfare" in any common definition of the term, corporate or otherwise.

I think it's fair to say that Silicon Valley is dead. Cheap venture capital,
minimal startup cost, access to university researchers, and good inter
business communications fueled an engine which turned ideas into products.
You can now find venture capital elsewhere, with the discount rate being
what it is. The cost of housing and office space has spiraled out of
control, thanks to the environmentalists and Prop 13. The trade secrets
and intellectual property mania have pretty much destroyed open cooperation.
The universities remain, but aren't the driving force they used to be.

The place has a much different, more ossified feel to it than it did seven
years ago.

AMP Pages at time leaves off crucial content to a story - I've seen it a lot with articles containing embedded tweets.

I'd rather not deal with AMP and just go with the real page + an ad blocker. Fortunately, in iOS, the ad blockers also work in certain types of embedded web views (SafariViewController) that my RSS Reader uses.
"but the ego behind it means nobody cares what users think"

> ...moderators will remove offending content and send a warning...

I'm sure all of this helps the mods to deal with naughty users, but I think SO really has 2 big issuers:

1. Crappy, zero-effort, badly worded, badly explained questions
2. Crappy moderators

The first one seems to be a solved problem - 9 times out of 10 if I see a question like this appear on SO it is flagged within seconds.

The seconds one has been pervasive for years, and is a much harder problem to solve. Mods flagging unique questions as duplicates is something I've experienced far too many times - and often as soon as one mod hasn't read the question and flagged it, other mods see the flag, then don't bother to read the question and flag it.

I think there should actually be an easier way to flag poor decisions by moderators (to flag... well, the flags!), and I think there should be a similar 3-stage disciplinary system (warning, suspension, expulsion) for mods that repeatedly take shortcuts or make crappy decisions.
I'm not convinced it's really just an hour during commute hours.

Ah good, I was hoping for the "Hurdy Hur Hur Ruby is slow so Rails is slow crowd to show"

Ruby "going out of vogue" has nothing to do with the authors problem. It wouldn't matter if the author was using TrendyNewFramework.js™, PHP, Django or some GO framework. The issue seems to be the terrible user experience that comes with using AMP. I know I personally hate it and tend to drop off when I see it begin loading.

Also FWIW, there's plenty of slow SPA's built on the latest and greatest, and there's plenty of fast rails sites (have you been to https://dev.to recently? It's like ️). Rails is doing just fine.
